Ongoing research under IfHI sponsorship is currently investigating the effect of ABO blood groups and soluable endothelial adhesion factors and a possible cause of atherogenesis. This study is currently in progress at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine.
The IfHI
research faculty is currently developing study protocols to evaluate
the following questions.
- What
is the role of lectins and immuno-therapeutics in sample
patient population previously vaccinated with smallpox?
- What
are cost-effective and practical methods of evaluating effects
of lectins and immuno-therapeutics?
- What
is the role of lectin manipulation and chronic inflammatory
conditions?
- Are
the differences in soluble cell adhesion molecule levels known
to influenced by diet predictable by ABO and secretor genotype?
- What
symptoms specific questionnaire can reliably and consistently
measure the effects of dietary lectins?
- Can
circulating levels of anti-Thomsen Friedenreich antibodies be
enhanced by diet?
- Are
difference in blood coagulation predictable by ABO genotype a
reliable indicator of effective stress management?
- What
are the effects of dietary lectins on serum insulin levels?
- What
are the effects of ABO polymorphism and secretor genotype on
hepatitis C progression?
- What
is the clinical relevance of known botanical mediators of ICAM
expression on the management of diabetes in individuals of
varying ABO blood groups?
- What
are the predictive linkage relationships and lectin reactivities
in colonic metaplasia?
- What
are the effects of targeted probiotic therapy as per ABO and
secretor genotypes?
- What
symptoms specific questionnaire can reliably and consistently
measure the effect of treating disease conditions with dietary
lectins?
- What
clinical outcomes adequately evaluates efficacy/treatment
response of dietary lectins in chronic diseases?
- What
is the correlation of genetic polymorphism, lectins, disease
condition/manifestation, and treatment outcome?
- What
is the most effective treatment protocol applying the principles
of human individuality and dietary lectins?
- What
is the role of addressing human individuality and
complementary/alternative medicine therapies?
