Blood Type Diets

[Guest guest]

Deb--

The blood type diets are proven false. Read " Eat to Live " by Dr. Joel

Furman. ALL blood types need an alkaline forming diet that supplies lots

of various live enzymes and phytonutrients. Guess what kind of ideal diet

that is? Hint: I can tell you in one word! Smile.

Jenny, I haven't heard of that book, but I'll take a look at it, thank

you, although I guess I already know about eating raw and its

advantages. What I'm trying to learn is about why some people just

don't do good (and that's a fact) with the same diet, same activities,

etc, Now, are you also talking about Metabolic Typing and/or Medicine

(here there are about 10 different types) when you say 'blood type'? I

was just sent to this site " www.drkelly.com " where it talks about it,

and I read that while transitioning your body metabolism can change a

few times and adapt (I thought about your changes) until it gets to a

'balance metabolism' (that's one of the 3 main types) while others

will never get there, meaning, they are somewhere in the other types,

some needing meat (I know, I know, I'm just trying to get to my own

conclusion and I said, I'll look at the book you tell me about,

because, actually, this metabolic and/or blood type diets state not

everybody have the same need for alcalinity nor acidity, for example,

type Os is said to be " leaner when their muscle tissues are in a state

of slight metabolic acidity " it uses calories more rapidly, this is

just for this type and it't talking about losing weight.

BTW, I love the concept of raw eating, I love veggies and fruits, I've

stopped eating meats 14 years ago, never to go back to red meats, and

having to get some eggs and other 'white meats' to feel 'better'

sometimes. I've been trying to get to a total raw diet, but I've got

across this other also proven right theories and I wonder what's best

for me, and besides, I have a baby girl, I want the best of nutrition

for her as well... she is calling now, later!

thank you for your patience

Hi Jenny

 

You said

(I " transitioned " with the Hallelujah Diet in January 2000 and started

all raw vegan July 10, 2003. In ten months I have LOST 67 excess pounds

and I have GAINED radiant health

 

 

Wow how encouraging.I have been working on this about three months and I

have gotten healthier and have lost 20 pounds

of the 60 I want to lose.Lots more energy. The weight loss is a side effect

not the main purpose.

The variation in blood factors that today we call " blood types " is a

phenomenon that may have arisen during the Ice Age, when many humans

found themselves in very cold places, and had to adapt quickly or

perish, and demographic distributions of blood types roughly

correspond to the types of foods that were available in those

regions. In addition, the whole Earth became much colder. Hominids

had to eat foods to which we are not adapted, and though they

survived, some compromises and sacrifices in health resulted.

 

" A " and the " B " factors are considered antigens in the blood, though

there are many more—there are 46 known blood antigens. Antigens

stimulate the production or mobilization of antibodies. The " O " type

of blood is the absence of these antigens. It seems logical that at

one time in hominid/primate history, prior to the ice age, perhaps

all hominids/primates had all or at least many of the blood factors

that exist.

 

These blood factors are considered protective; in fact, it has been

found that those who survived the " bubonic plague " during the Middle

Ages were those with a somewhat rare blood type factor, and it is

those with that additional blood factor who are best equipped to

survive " AIDS " . Of course, these diseases are not what they are made

out to be--people die not of the disease but of the harmful

practices that are used to " cure " them, and of the toxins ingested

which led the body to produce disease in the first place. The

presence of the blood factors in the survivors of the " cures " and

other toxins shows these blood factors to be not only a protective

and/or warning substance, but also a sign of vitality, which helps

people possessing them to survive despite the onslaughts of toxins,

by rapid elimination of toxins, or avoiding or rejecting those

toxins to begin with.

 

It appears that the " A " and " B " (as well as other more rarely found

ones) blood factors serve a valuable function in the body.

Additionally there is the Rh factor (Rhesus), indicated by + or – as

to whether or not it is present in a person's blood. It appears that

these, as well as many other, blood factors were all present at one

time in the blood of all hominids/primates, yet they disappeared

partially or completely in most of humanity, probably as a result of

toxifying the body so thoroughly with non-compatible foods as well

as by enervation, probably the price of surviving an ice age—the

body was simply worn down to the point where it could no longer

produce the blood factors, or at least some of them, in the majority

of the population.

 

The theory of eating according to blood type is of interest, only

because it is instructive as to pointing out some phenomena.

According to the blood type diet theory, type O, the most common

blood type, supposedly can digest animal flesh better than the other

types—though in actuality it's probably just more of a tolerance, an

accommodation, less resistance by the body to it, due to losing the

ability to naturally reject it, which is a result of the blood

factors. Type A's (and AB's) according to the blood type diets, have

more of an aversion to animal products since apparently the A blood

factor causes the body to reject toxins such as animal products.

 

Information about blood types tells us that types A and B factors

take dominance over type O, whenever A and/or B are available, in

genetic selection, evidence of the body re-establishing its defense

system whenever it has the chance. Just because someone has

accommodated to eating flesh without as much discomfort as others,

that will not protect them from the inherent problems involved in

eating animal products, which are not compatible with our physiology—

in fact, the absence of the protective factors in the blood mean

that the warning system in the body is compromised, as are its

defenses, and the resulting unlimited consumption of animal products

in people without these factors hastens their demise all the more. I

think perhaps in time, with following a raw vegan diet, optimal

health can be regained by humanity, and perhaps all human bodies can

restore their ability to once again make all the blood factors which

humanity once had.
