Quote from jficquette:
That is not true. It was widely circulated some years ago that different blood types should eat different food. There was a even a book written about it. However this has disproved.
I have blood type A and I eat the shit out of meat and when I do and cut out carbs then I lose weight and feel great.

A researcher, or MD can easily dismiss or prove that a diet is ineffective, especially if felt threatened by such new ideas. I've read some of the negative challenges to the diet.
There are companies working on more accurate genetic testing to formulate a diet superior to the blood type diet. My doctor says genetic testing is the future of all diets.
I certainly do not think the blood type diet or other genetically based diets are 100% accurate, but the health improvements are obvious.
I've been on the blood type diet over 3 years. The first thing I noticed starting the diet was that my hands turned redder from being a pale white indicating a substantial increase in blood flow and oxygenation therefore increased tissue repair. Prior to the diet I was eating the wrong foods that contain lectins that caused my red blood cells to severely clump together.
This was also proven to me by live blood analysis under a microscope. The doctor and I have examined my blood numerous times. The first time she examined my blood I was not on the diet. Blood cells were all stuck together and the blood was full of debris and garbage. Shortly after starting the diet, my blood started looking cleaner, and the blood cells were separated from each other.
She knows when I have been eating the wrong foods as the blood cells stick together if I eat something I shouldn't. She caught me twice. She believes so strongly in the diet that she refuses to work with any patient that will not adhere to the diet. I've been on the diet 100% since then.
I did have a mild degree of kidney damage that is supposedly irreversible. The diet itself has promoted repair of the kidneys with no indication of damage. My kidneys work better too, no edema. Took about 2 years, worth it though.
I know a lot of people on the blood type diet, and all have noticed positive, sometimes dramatic improvements in their health, where all other diets failed to do much if anything. I know several people with terminal illnesses given a few months to live by their MD go into remission when strictly on the diet. It actually impressed a few MDs enough to consult with my doctor about the blood type diet. MDs get really mad when their patients don't die when they say they will. They hate being wrong.
You can read all the books you want on health and trading, but there is nothing like actually experiencing live trading or sticking to a strict diet that does not allow your favorite foods and watching results in health improvement. It's too easy to dismiss or believe something until you experience it.
