DO YOU KNOW YOUR DO YOU KNOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE?BLOOD TYPE?

It is essential that you know your blood type.

Four ways to find out:

1. Donate blood

2. If you were in service you will have it in your records.

3. If you have had surgery your doctor will have it.

4. You can order a blood testing kit on the internet for $12.59 www.bodyredesigning.com

Blood Type Antigens

SECRETORS & NON-SECRETORSSECRETORS & NON-SECRETORS

SECRETORS 80% OF POPULATION HAVE BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS THAT FLOAT AROUND IN ALL BODILY SECRETIONS.

A LOT OF PROTECTION AGAINST ENEMIES

NON-SECRETORS THE OTHER 20% DO NOT HAVE THE BLOOD TYPE ANTIGENS IN ANY OTHER FLUIDS.

NOT MUCH PROTECTION AGAINST ENEMIES

Scientific research has shown that in general, non-secretorsAre far more likely to suffer from an immune disease thansecretors. Non-secretors are dominant in virtually everyimmune system disorder as follows:

Generalized inflammationType I and Type II diabetesYeast Candida albicans, especially in their mouths and upper gastrointestinal tractsHelicobacter pylori, the bacterium thought to cause most stomach ulcersHeart diseaseAlcoholismGraves’ disease, reactive arthritis, multiple schlerosisMetabolic problems associated with obesity resulting from insulin resistanceUrinary tract infections

OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

ALL LIFE FORMS, FROM THE SIMPLEST VIRUS TO HUMAN BEINGS POSSESS UNIQUE ANTIGENS. SOME OF THE MOST NUMEROUS ANTIGENS IN THE HUMAN BODY ARE THE ONES THAT DETERMINE THE ABO BLOOD GROUPS. THE DIFFERENT BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS ARE SO SENSITIVE THAT WHEN THEY ARE OPERATING EFFECTIVELY, THEY ARE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM’S GREATEST SECURITY SYSTEM.

WHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM DETECTS THAT A FOREIGN ANTIGEN HAS ENTERED THE SYSTEM, IT TRIES TO CREATE ANTIBODIES TO THAT ANTIGEN. THESE ANTIBODIES, SPECIALIZED CHEMICALS MANUFACTURED BY THE CELLS OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, AE DESIGNED TO ATTACH TO AND TAG THE FOREIGN ANTIGEN FOR DESTRUCTION.

WHEN ANYTHING COMES INTO THE BODY THAT, BECAUSE OF YOUR BLOOD TYPE, YOUR BODY IS INTOLERANT OF, THE CELLS, VIRUSES, PARASITES, AND BACTERIA ARE AGGLUTINATED. THEY STICK TOGETHER AND CLUMP UP, WHICH MAKES DISPOSING OF THEM ALL THE EASIER. IT IS LIKE HANDCUFFING CRIMINALS TOGETHER; THEY BECOME FAR LESS DANGEROUS THAN WHEN THEY ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE AROUND FREELY.

THE FOODS THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS AVOIDS FOR YOUR BLOOD TYPE, ARE THE CRIMINALS THAT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS FIGHTING. AFTER MANY YEARS OF EATING THESE FOODS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WEAKENS AND THEY WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH SOME ORGANS IN YOUR BODY.

GENOME TESTINGGENOME TESTING

THE FUNCTION OF GENES IS TO CREATE PROTEINS THAT ARE USED FOR ALMOST EVERY FUNCTION OF YOUR CELLS. PROTEINS ARE ALSO CRITICAL TO THE FUNCTION OF THE BODY’S ORGANS AND TISSUES.

NEARLY EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY DEPENDS ON THOUSANDS OF PROTEINS TO DO THEIR JOBS IN THE RIGHT PLACES AT THE RIGHT TIMES. BUT SOMETIMES, A MUTATION IN A GENE PREVENTS THESE PROTEINS FROM WORKING PROPERLY.

A MUTATED GENE CHANGES THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING PROTEIN, WHICH CAUSES IT TO MALFUNCTION OR TO BE MISSING ENTIRELY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO A PROTEIN THAT HAS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE BODY, IT CAN CAUSE A MEDICAL CONDITION.

IT’S HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND THAT GENES DON’T CAUSE DISEASE. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU DON’T HAVE A “CANCER GENE”. BUT YOU MAY HAVE A MUTATION IN A GENE THAT MAKES PROTEINS FUNCTION IN A WAY THAT CREATES CANCER.

LECTINS: THE DIET CONNECTIONLECTINS: THE DIET CONNECTION

A CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURS BETWEEN YOUR BLOOD AND THE FOODS YOU EAT. THIS REACTION IS PART OF YOUR GENETIC INHERITANCE. IT IS AMAZING BUT TRUE THAT TODAY YOUR IMMUNE AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS STILL MAINTAIN A FAVORITISM FOR FOODS THAT YOUR BLOOD TYPE ANCESTORS ATE.

WHEN YOU EAT A FOOD CONTAINING PROTEIN LECTINS THAT ARE IMCOMPATIBLE WITH YOUR BLOOD TYPE ANTIGEN, THE LECTINS TARGET AN ORGAN OR BODILY SYSTEM (KIDNEYS, LIVER, BRAIN, STOMACH, ETC.) AND BEGIN TO AGGLUTINATE BLOOD CELLS IN THAT AREA.

ONCE THE INTACT LECTIN PROTEIN SETTLES SOMEPLACE IN YOUR BODY IT HAS A MAGNETIC EFFECT ON THE CELLS IN THAT REGION. IT CLUMPS THE CELLS TOGETHER AND THEY ARE TARGETED FOR DESTRUCTION, AS IF THEY, TOO, WERE FOREIGN INVADERS.

LECTINSLECTINS

One main reason why certain foods are identified as “avoid” foods is because of the protein molecules, or lectins that they contain.

Type O – Most problematic lectin is found in wheat germ and whole wheat products, corn and corn products, catfish, eels, caviar, white potatoes, alfalfa sprouts, and blackberries.

Type A – Lima beans, string beans, pinto beans, navy beans, tomatoes, cinnamon, flounder, cantaloupe, bananas, apples, eggplant, anchovies, oranges, shrimp, trout, and clams.

Type B – Chicken, peanuts, pomegranates, persimmons, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, beets, salmon, radishes, apples, trout, black-eyed peas, mung bean sprouts, corn and buckwheat.

Type AB – Any of foods that react with Type A and Type B

SUGGESTIONS FOR MEALS FOR ALL BLOOD TYPES

BREAKFAST

Juice of 1/2 lemon with hot water Drink before taking anything in your stomach. Type A has a lot of mucous in their body and this helps to clear that out. Beneficial for A & AB and neutral for B and O

Green tea Green tea is the best anti-oxidant you can drink. Very beneficialfor all blood types. Coffee is beneficial for Type A and neutral for Bbut an AVOID for AB & O

Prunes These four are I usually eat two or three fruits first and when possible wait at grapefruit really good to lower least 1/2 hr or an hour before putting anything else in my watermelon blood pressure and stomach. figs cholesteroldried cranberriespineappleplums

Oatmeal I put a heaping tbl of ground flaxseed, handful of chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts),handful of dried figs, cranberries, raisins, or blueberries when in season. I use either Silk (soymilk), rice milk, or Almond Breeze. Oatmeal is neutral for type O, but beneficial for all others.

Oatmeal waffles or pancakes Recipe attached. Good place to eat fresh blueberries.

Ezekiel cereal I love this one. There are two or three kinds. One has the almonds already in it. I add the flaxseed and fruit to it also.

Non fat plain yogurt I mix the flaxseed, nuts and fruit in with the yogurt. Really good.Not good for Type O.

Eggs and toast. I use Ezekiel bread which you always toast and Brummel & Brown (yogurt)spread (delicous) and jelly on one piece.

Other cereals that are rice or oats. No wheat or corn cereals for B & O

Omelets When I eat out for breakfast I usually get an omelet with mushroomsand spinach.

LUNCH

Goat cheese on Nut Thin crackers Goat cheese is very beneficial for Type B and neutral for A and OThis is good with a dab of pepper jelly. The crackers are made withrice and nuts and are delicious.

Salads

Grilled cheese sandwich Use Ezekiel bread, pepper jack flavored soy or rice cheese and the Brummel & Brown spread This is really delicious.

Celery stuffed with peanut butter This is a really good one for Type A, but Type B &O cannot eat peanuts.

Soup I cook soup a couple of times a month with all good vegetables forme and I eat it quite a few times since the recipes always serve 4-6I suppose some canned soups are OK, but usually they have a lotof sodium and other ingredients that aren't so good for us.

DINNER

Salmon Salmon is really good for Type A ,B, & AB and neutral for O. I only use wild salmonsince Atlantic salmon (farm raised) doesn't have the good Omega 3 fatty acids

Chicken I freeze boneless, skinless chicken and use it a lot. It is goodfor Type A & O, but very bad for Type B & AB.

Many kinds of fish Seared tuna is good for all blood types. Better if wild tuna.

Vegetables I am trying to use vegetables that I am not used to eating. I just putthe ingredient on the internet and get thousands of recipes. It has been fun. I am eating things I had never cooked or eaten before, like swiss chard, red beets with tops, rappini, kale, collard greens etc.When I eat out I usually get a dinner salad with chicken or turkey.There are so many choices in the vegetable category and this is oneof the most important foods for us.

Turkey Turkey is good for all blood types

DESSERTS

Frozen yogurt Yogurt is very good for Type B & AB, neutral for TypeA, and avoid for Type OMy favorite is Publix's Moose Tracks and Edy's Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

BEVERAGES I drink one glass of red wine almost every day for dinner. Wine andbeer is neutral for Type B, but red wine is beneficial for Type A andneutral for all others. beer is avoid for A & O. Liquor is avoid for all types.White wine is neutral for A, B, AB and avoid for O.

OATMEAL WAFFLES OR PANCAKES

1 cup Silk, rice milk or almond milk¾ cup quick cooking oats, raw¾ cup oat flour¼ cup ground flaxseed2 tbl. Sugar2 tsp. Baking powder½ tsp. Salt2 egg yolks slightly beaten1 tbl cooking oil2 egg whites

Heat milk. Stir in oats and let stand for 5 minutes.

Combine remaining dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, then add oat/milk mixture. Add egg yolks and oil into the mix. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold into batter. Makes 8, 4 inch pancakes.

POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE

8 oz. Extra soft silken tofu 1 cup pomegranate juice1 cup frozen blueberries 1-2 tbl. honey1 tbl. flaxseed

DIFFERENT FROM MOST BREAD TODAY, THIS UNIQUE BREAD IS MADE FROM FRESHLY SPROUTED LIVE GRAINS AND CONTAINS ABSOLUTELY NO FLOUR. SPROUTING THE GRAINS IS THE BEST WAY TO RELEASE ALL OF THE VITAL NUTRIENTS STORED IN WHOLE GRAINS.

THE SPROUTING PROCESS NOT ONLY INCREASES VITAMINS, BUT ALSO CAUSES A NATURAL CHANGE THAT ALLOWS THE PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATES TO BE ASSIMILATED BY THE BODY MORE EFFICIENTLY.

WHEN THE SIX GRAINS AND LEGUMES ARE SPROUTED AND COMBINED AN AMAZING THING HAPPENS. A COMPLETE PROTEIN IS CREATED THAT CLOSELY PARALLELS THE PROTEIN FOUND IN MILK AND EGGS. THERE ARE 18 AMINO ACIDS PRESENT IN THIS UNIQUE BREAD. ALWAYS TOAST IT AND SERVE WARM TO RELEASE ITS EXCEPTIONALLY RICH NATURAL SESAME TASTE.

NOW THEY MAKE BUNS, RAISIN BREAD, ENGLISH MUFFINS, BAGELS, AND CEREALS. YOU WILL FIND THE BREADS IN A FROZEN FOOD SECTION OF THE HEALTHY FOODS SECTION.

LETTER FROM PARTICIPANT IN A TOPS MEETING ABOUT BLOOD TYPE DIET

Hi Marie:

You may not remember the name, but I was at the TOPS meeting that you spoke to back in August or September regarding the blood type diet Just wanted you to hear of my success! I immediately changed the foods that I had been eating according to the lists and after one week was able to stop taking acid reflux meds. I have lost 17 pounds and feel great!It’s hard to believe that foods that we think are good for us, actually can hurt us. I have friends interested in copies of the foods for specific blood types. Would you mind sending me the lists for A and O? Again, I want to thank you for such valuable information. I love feeling good after so many years (and $$$ spent) of stomach/gastro issues.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,Jacque Keith

1. GET INFORMATION OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE

AS POSSIBLE

2. GET SURVEYS COMPLETED

4. FIND INDIVIDUALS TO TRY THE DIET FOR A
