AB Type & Arterial Disease/clotting?
Posted By: John Cusimano Date: February 09, 1997 at 23:35:31
Dear Dr. D'Adamo, I just purchased your book last week and, found it extremely interesting. I am one of the rare AB "egnimas". My doctor just discovered a partial blockage in artery of my right leg about two weeks ago and, I will be going in for more tests shortly. Although I am not aware of my parents blood type, I am wondering if my father's family may have been where I inherited the AB Type. My father, aunts and uncle were all born in a village in Italy founded by Albanians and Greco-Albanian immigrants in 15th century. My father died of a coranary occlusion in 1958. My two aunts and uncle also died suddenly of similar causes. My two aunts both had mentioned circulatory problems and "clots" in their legs before their deaths. A cousin had paralyzing stroke when she was in early 20's. I don't know there is any connection in all of this but, reading your book caused me to wonder if perhaps the blood type might be some kind oflink? I have one daughter who is AB also. I know many people of Italo-Albanian heritage who might value knowing if there is some pattern as well I was just curious if, in your research, have you seen such patterns for AB's before? Or, if this could evenbe considered an AB pattern? Or, if you ever came across any research done on Italo-Albanians- being of AB type or prone to this type of problem? I know there are probably many factors involved but, I never consdiered blood type might be one of them, until now. Your book was "the" hot topic in our office all last week... I was the third one to buy it. Best Regards
