The blood type diet is not the answer to all ills and following it will not give you complete protection from disease. But it is a powerful means of setting the stage to allow your body to perform to the best of its ability. The basic ideas that underpin the blood type diet tie in very well with research being done into how nutrition influences the way our genes express themselves.

Our genes hold information as to whether an illness could assail our body or not. This information does not necessarily mean the illness will develop. It will if the correct conditions are present. It will not if conditions that prevent our genes from expressing that illness are present. Dr Jeffrey S. Bland has written a book about this concept, Genetic Nutritioneering. In a tribute to Dr D’Adamo he says, “It is truly fascinating that medicine is moving from a period of the past one hundred years when disease was considered to be ‘hard wired’ into our genes, to a time when we realize that we can play a role in strengthening our genetic inheritance through our daily living”. The blood type diet does exactly this. “Eat right for your type” and you will strongly reduce your risk of having to deal with the potential health conditions hidden in your genes.
