The D'Adamo Health Protocols are a series of naturopathic techniques that you can use to enhance your health and vitality. These should not be done as substitution for the services of a licensed practitioner and are not to be used in the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of any specific disease. A more extensive discussion on the use of herbs and supplements in conjunction with the Blood Type Diet can be found in the Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia.
