Review of Arthritis: Fight it with the Blood Type (D'adamo, Peter. Eat Right 4 Your Type Library.) (Hardcover)

I have been suffering from Fibromyalgia for over 15 years.Once I went on the ER4YT diet, my over-all health improved vastly... except I still suffered occasionally from Fibromyalgia.I bought this book, followed the diet & went on the 12 week arthritis protocol that he recommended.Not only did the pain subside during the 12 weeks, but also for the past year it has been much more manageable.The most difficult thing was finding the supplements in the dosages that Dr. D'Adamo recommended.Through the help of the internet I found all of them - most of them from Vitacost.com.It still amazes me that after a year of going on this protocol I am still doing so well.I am an O non-secretor.

Product Description
From the author of the two million copy Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type series- a library of books to help defeat eightof the most common conditions with the Blood Type Diet.(r)

Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has forever changed the face of eating right to lose weight and achieve maximum health. Because he discovered what many already instinctively new-that a plan that works for one person may make another ill-there will never be a one-size-fits-all diet again. And since we now know that each blood type is affected differently by common diseases and conditions, there will never be a one-size-fits-all plan of action.

Now Dr. D'Adamo adds two new volumes to hisEat Right for Your Type Health Library. The first two were Cancer and Diabetes. The next books tackle arthritis (including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions caused by inflammation) and cardiovascular disease (such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke).

In these volumes, readers will find new information individualized for their blood type and illness. Self-assessment tests that help determine status and measure progress are included, as well as supplementary, lifestyle, and exercise protocols tailored to each blood type and each condition. There has never been a better arsenal for fighting disease, nor an easier or clearer tool.

Review of Diabetes: Fight It with the Blood Type Diet (The Eat Right 4 Your Type Library) (Hardcover)

My family has a history of type 2 diabetes, so I wanted to know how to avoid becoming a diabetic.This book in addition to the other books especially Live Right 4 Your Type have been excellent resources to help me understand my genetic hertitage.I am an O blood type, secretor.I am amazed at how much more energetic and powerful I feel now that I have been utilizing the diet for a year now.I rarely feel fatigued now. I have increased muscle mass.Best of all, now that I have eliminated wheat products, dairy and corn from my diet, I do not have anymore cramping/pain in my colon.

I know that avoiding the 'avoid foods' is difficult.It was for me too; I had been eating a goblet of ice cream every night before going to bed and I loved OREO cookies.As we get older (I'm 40 now) however we need to leave such childish eating behavior behind us if we want to be healthy and this book is the best resource I have read to date.If you are overweight and/or diabetic and you want take eating action to solve your health condition this book is a start.I also would highly recomend working with a doctor who is IjHI (Institute for Human Individuality) Certified. These doctors specialize in treating diabetes and other preventable health conditions with this diet.These doctors are not cheap but worth every penny if you value your health.Doctors not certified are simply unaware of treatments that can solve someones diabetic condition, so they prescribe what they know short term solutions (drugs).

I love being in control of my health, my kids do too.It's not easy or cheap, but it's worth it.If you solve the problem, you live life with joy;If treat the symptoms only, you live life with agony.

Review of Eat Right for Your Type Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia (Paperback)

I admit it: I was suspicious of this diet.Before examining this book, I thought the diet sounded very "fad-like"(and I remain wholly unconvinced by the personality-trait correspondences which are NOT essential to the scientific basis of the diet, just a curiosity). I read negative reviews and their justifications.What I noticed was that most of these reviews sounded a lot like the criticisms leveled at the Atkins diet, a diet that does work for a lot of people (though not all--this book makes clear why) that have since been disproven by double-blind studies.A number noted that d'Adamo's theories weren't backed up by scientific research.Fair enough; this book cites double-blind studies and peer-reviewed research extensively, far more so than the Eat Right and Cook Right books.It also fine-tunes some of the earlier findings.This is ongoing research, something you just don't see in proponents of "fad" diets.D'Adamo has clearly been listing to his critics, and makes every attempt to clarify, fine-tune, and explain how all of this works.
I picked this book--and the diet--up when I browsed it in the store and noted that the medical problems in my family charted almost exactly with the risk factors for blood type.(Blood type correlations with disease have actually been established in peer-reviewed medical journals for a long time, although they aren't much talked about.)I tried the diet.I'm about three weeks in.I've lost 10 pounds, my digestive problems are much improved, I feel more energetic, I don't crave sweets, and -- the most convincing thing for me, because I wasn't looking for it and therefore can't attribute it to the placebo effect -- the morning stiffness I've had for 30 years is gone.It takes at least a week for things to kick in--especially if one has increased intestinal permeability due to intestinal damage--but it does, and for many,myself included, the results are quite profound.
I am not a scientist, nor am I claiming that d'Adamo has everything right.There are some typos in the book, although most misprints are corrected on the website (www.dadamo.com)--hard to find, but worth looking.This is ongoing research, however. D'Adamo also uses that site to update new findings on food compatibility.I think this diet could easily be used in conjunction with others appropriate to type. For instance, type O people will do well with Atkins as long as they cut out the wheat gluten and dairy; people with food allergies may have to limit intake of more foods than he lists.He suggests 70-80% compliance works for most people.
Even the critics suggest that this diet isn't likely to harm anyone.I fully expect some version of this to be exonerated as fully as, if not more than, Atkins.In the meantime, this is a great resource, it's interesting reading even for the healthy, and it is more likely to engage a reader like myself who likes to see detailed scientific justification before jumping into a health plan.
