Genetics have a lot to say as to who we are. The environment in which we live, our lifestyle and our thoughts may be even more important, but our blood type is part of our genetic design and cannot be ignored. The way we plan our life in terms of nutrition, exercise, thought, stress management etc. will make our blood type friend or foe. In other words, if we follow the recommendations that enable our body to positively adjust its biochemistry, we are likely to benefit from vibrant health. On the contrary, if we make choices that disrupt our metabolism, clog up our system with toxins and make our cells stick together, we are heading for trouble.

Our blood type gives information to our body, telling it how to react when confronted by a host of circumstances such as stress; invasion by viral, bacterial, parasitic or fungal infections; or food entering the body. Psychologically and physically each blood group reacts differently to these influences: a specific food can be beneficial or detrimental to our health depending on whether we are an O, an A, a B or an AB; an infective agent will have something to hold onto depending on our blood group; our susceptibility to common diseases or more serious ones is linked to our blood group; the means by which an O will lose weight is not the same as for an A.

And this isn’t anecdotal information. Much of this information can be found in scientific literature. Dr D’Adamo has referenced over 1500 research studies to back up his work.
