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.

The Virtual Dr. D'Adamo Supplement Determinator is also a great tool to explore.
