2. IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE PLAN CAREFULLY, YOU CAN:
1. AVOID MANY COMMON VIRUSES AND INFECTIONS.
2. LOSE WEIGHT, AS YOUR BODY RIDS ITSELF OF TOXINS
AND FATS.
3. FIGHT BACK AGAINST LIFE-THREATENING DISEASES SUCH
AS CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, DIABETES, AND
LIVER FAILURE.
4. AVOID MANY OF THE FACTORS THAT CAUSE RAPID CELL
DETERIORATION, THUS SLOWING DOWN THE AGING
PROCESS.
5. FIND THAT YOU ARE SLEEPING BETTER

3. 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. THE MUTATIONS
ARE CAUSED WHEN YOU EAT A FOOD CONTAINING PROTEIN LECTINS THAT ARE
INCOMPATIBLE WITH YOUR BLOOD TYPE. THE LECTINS TARGET AN ORGAN OR BODILY
SYSTEM AND BEGIN TO AGGLUTINATE BLOOD CELLS IN THAT AREA.
I READ RECENTLY THAT A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS HAS FOUND A GENETIC MUTATION
STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH PROSTATE CANCERS THAT OCCUR AT UNUSUALLY EARLY
AGES AND AMONG PEOPLE WITH A FAMILY HISTORY OF THE DISEASE THEY CHECKED 18
MEN FROM FOUR FAMILIES, ALL WITH THE CANCER, AND ALL OF THEM CARRYING THE
MUTATION. SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME BLOOD TYPE AS ONE OF YOUR PARENTS AND
GROW UP EATING THE SAME FOODS AS THEY DO, THIS ACCOUNTS FOR THE FACT THAT
YOU WOULD HAVE THE MUTATION.
IT IS 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.
IF YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT MUTATION YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE AND THE
FOODS YOU EAT AND IT MAY NEVER DEVELOP INTO CANCER.

4. YOUR 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, ARE
DESIGNED TO ATTACH TO AND TAG THE FOREIGN ANTIGEN FOR
DESTRUCTION.
ANTIBODIES ARE THE CELLULAR EQUIVALENT OF THE MILITARY
SMART BOMB. THE CELLS OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM MANUFACTURE
COUNTLESS VARIETIES OF ANTIBODIES, AND EACH IS SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY AND ATTACH TO THE UNIQUE SHAPE OF ONE
PARTICULAR ANTIGEN.
A CONTINUAL BATTLE WAGES BETWEEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND
INTRUDERS THAT TRY TO CHANGE OR MUTATE THEIR ANTIGENS INTO
SOME FORM THAT THE BODY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE. THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM RESPONDS TO THIS CHALLENGE WITH AN EVER-INCREASING
INVENTORY OF ANTIBODIES.

5. HYDROCHLORIC ACID—ALKALINE ACE
HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE. WITHOUT IT THE
BODY CANNOT MAKE THE PROPER CHEMICAL CONVERSIONS TO ALKALINITY. IT
IS THE ONLY ACID THAT OUR BODY PRODUCES. ALL OTHER ACIDS ARE BY-
PRODUCTS OF METABOLISM AND ARE ELIMINATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
ITS FUNCTIONS ARE VARIED AND VITAL. HYDROCHLORIC ACID (HCL) IS THE
FIRST SUBSTANCE IN THE STOMACH THAT BREAKS DOWN FOOD. OTHERWISE,
FOOD BECOMES A MASS OF POORLY DIGESTED ACID WASTE RESIDUES SUCH AS
URIC ACID. THUS, REDUCED QUANTITIES FORETELL ILLNESS. HCL USUALLY
STARTS A DISTURBING DECLINE AFTER THE AGE OF 40.
HCL KEEPS US ALIVE BY MAINTAINING PROPER ALKALINE/ACID BALANCE AND
THEN BECOMES ALKALINE AFTER ITS VITAL JOB IN THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS IS
DONE
HCL IS OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST THE VARIOUS DESTRUCTIVE
MICROBES THAT ENTER THE BODY BY WAY OF FOOD. IT ACTUALLY KILLS AND
DIGESTS THESE HARMFUL INTRUDERS. IT ALSO CLEANS UP DETRIMENTAL ACID
WASTE BY-PRODUCT CAUSED BY IMPROPER FOOD COMBINATIONS, POOR FOOD
CHOICES, AND ASSISTS IN THEIR ELIMINATION

6. SECRETORS AND NON SECRETORS
Although everyone carries an ABO blood group antigen on their blood cells, about 80% of the
population also have blood group antigens that float around freely in their body secretions. Those
people are called secretors, because they “secrete” their blood group antigens into their body
fluids, such as saliva, mucous, and sperm. It’s possible to ABO type a secretor from these other
body fluids, in addition to their blood.
The other 20% of people who do not secrete their blood group antigens to other fluids besides
blood are called non-secretors. Being a secretor or a non-secretor is independent of your ABO
blood group. It is controlled by a different gene. Non-secretors are far more likely to suffer from
an immune disease than secretors, especially when it is provided by an infectious organism. Non-
secretors are dominant in virtually every immune system disorder such as: Type I and Type II
diabetes; more problems with Helicobacter Pylori, which causes stomach ulcers; higher incidence
of heart disease; higher rate of alcoholism; increased prevalence of a variety of autoimmune
disease including reactive arthritis, multiple sclerosis. Sjogren’s syndrome, Graves disease; extra
risk for recurrent urinary tract infections.
I would recommend anyone who has several of these health problems to ask your doctor for a
non-secretor test. The labs will do the test, but for some reason they require a doctor’s order. I
have different food lists for anyone who tests as a non-secretor, since your body has so little
protections from the foods that are bad for you.

HEART - MOST ALKALINE DEPENDENT ORGAN IN BODY
LUNGS THYROID GLAND
STOMACH SPLEEN
LIVER ADRENAL GLAND
PANCREAS COLON
SMALL INTESTINES LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
KIDNEYS
OUR GLANDS AND ORGANS FUNCTION PROPERLY IN EXACT
PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF ALKALINE AND ACID
LEVELS IN THE SYSTEM.

10. LECTINS: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 DESTRUCTIONS, AS IF THEY, TOO, WERE FOREIGN INVADERS.
MANY FOOD LECTINS HAVE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO A CERTAIN
BLOOD TYPE ANTIGEN TO MAKE IT AN “ENEMY” TO ANOTHER. FOR EXAMPLE, MILK HAS B-
LIKE QUALITIES; IF A PERSON WITH TYPE A BLOOD DRINKS IT, HIS SYSTEM WILL
IMMEDIATELY START THE AGGLUTINATION PROCESS IN ORDER TO REJECT IT.

11. ARTHRITIS
Arthritis literally means “joint inflammation” Many people think arthritis is a single disease,
but it’s not. Arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases and other
conditions that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Some of these conditions are
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and gout..
The nightshade vegetables, such as eggplant and potatoes, cause arthritic conditions in Type O
because their lectins deposit in the tissue surrounding the joints.
Tomatoes are a special case. Heavily laced with powerful lectins called panhemaglutinans
(meaning they agglutinate all blood types), tomatoes are trouble for Type A and Type B
digestive tracts. However Type O’s can eat tomatoes. They become neutral in your system.
Type O tends to develop a gritty sort of arthritis a chronic deterioration of the bone cartilage
called osteoarthritis.
Type A tends to develop a puffy arthritis which is the more acute rheumatoid form of the
disease a painful and debilitating breakdown of multiple joints.
In Dr. D’Adamo’s practice most of the patients who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis are Type
As. Studies show that people with rheumatoid arthritis tend to be more high strung and less
emotionally hardy. When they have poor coping mechanisms for life stress, the disease
progresses more rapidly

12. EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES DRUGS OFFER PATIENTS HOPE
SOME EXPERIMENTAL DIABETES TREATMENTS IN LATE TESTING OFFER PATIENTS HOPE OF BETTER
CONTROLLING THEIR BLOOD SUGAR AND WEIGHT AND PREVENTING DANGEROUSLY LOW BLOOD SUGAR, ALL
BIG CHALLENGES FOR MILLIONS OF DIABETICS.
RESULTS FROM STUDIES OF SEVERAL NEW DIABETES MEDICINES AND INSULIN PRODUCTS, JUST ANNOUNCED AT
THE PREMIERE U.S.. CONFERENCE FOR DIABETES SECIALISTS, LIKEWISE HOLD THE PROMISE OF BILLIONS IN
ANNUAL REVENUE FOR DRUGMAKER S THAT HAVE DOMINATED THE DIABETES MARKET AND FOR OTHERS
BREAKING INTO IT .
UNTIL THE LAST DECADE RELATIVELY FEW COMPANIES MADE TREATMENTS FOR DIABETES, A CHRONIC
CONDITION IN WHICH THE BODY EITHER DOES NOT MAKE ENOUGH INSULIN TO BREAK DOWN THE SUGAR IN
FOODS OR USES INSULIN INEFFICIENTLY.
THE GLOBAL OBESITY EPIDEMIC HAS CAUSED A SIMILAR EXPLOSION OF DIABETES CASES. ABOUT 95 PERCENT
ARE TYPE 2, USUALLY RELATED TO BEING OVERWEIGHT AND SEDENTARY. TYPE 2, ONCE CALLED ADULT-ONSET
DIABETES, NOW IS ALSO BEING DIAGNOSED IN ADOLESCENTS, JUST LIKE INSULIN-DEPENDENT TYPE 1
DIABETES, WHICH USED TO BE CALLED JUVENILE DIABETES.
BOTH TYPES CAN CAUSE EARLY DEATH OR DEVASTATING COMPLICATIONS—BLINDNESS, AMPUTATIONS
STROKE, KIDNEY DISEASE, HEART DISEASE AND MORE—WHEN TOO-HIGH BLOOD SUGAR STEADILY DAMAGES
ORGANS AND BLOOD VESSELS.

20. ALZHEIMERS
ALZHEIMERS IS CAUSED BY THE DESTRUCTION OF NERVE CELLS IN THE BRAIN. (SEE
LECTINS)
ALZHEIMER PATIENTS TEND TO HAVE INSULIN RESISTANCE PLAQUES WHICH ARE DEPOSITS
OF A PROTEIN FRAGMENT CALLED BETA-AMYLOID BUILD UP IN THE SPACES BETWEEN
NEURONS AND ARE BELIEVED TO BLOCK COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM.
WE KNOW THAT RISK FACTORS FOR BRAIN ATROPHY INCLUDE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,
DIABETES AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL, AND BRAIN SHRINKAGE TYPICALLY PRECIPITATE THE
MORE SERIOUS FORMS OF DEMENTIA. (SEE FOODS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE AND
CHOLESTEROL)
DIABETICS SEEM TO HAVE A 65% HIGHER RISK OF DEVELOPING ALZHEIMERS.
OPTIMIZE VITAMIN D LEVELS THROUGH SAFE EXPOSURE TO SUN AND VITAMIN D3
SUPPLEMENTS.
EAT PLENTY OF HIGH QUALITY OMEGA-3 FATS
EXERCISE REGULARLY. ODDS OF DEVELOPING ALZHEIMERS WERE
QUADRUPLED IN PEOPLE WHO WERE LESS ACTIVE DURING THEIR LEISURE TIME BETWEEN
AGES OF 20 AND 60. NOTHING HAS A MORE POWERFUL EFFECT ON THE BRAIN THAN
EXERCISE

21. HEALTH CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ALZHEIMER’S
1. OBESITY, ESPECIALLY INCREASED BELLY FAT
2. INSULIN RESISTANCE AND DIABETES—DIABETICS HAVE UP TO 65% HIGHER RISK OF DEVELOPING
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE.
3. ELEVATED URIC ACID LEVELS
4. THYROID DYSFUNCTION
5. INTRACELLULAR T3 (IMMUNE SYSTEM CELLS) DEFICIENCY
1. HEART DISEASE.
NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES ASSOCIATED WITH ALZHEIMERS
1. INSUFFICIENT OMEGA-3 FATS
2. ELEVATED HOMOCYSTEINE LEVELS DUE TO VITAMIN B6 AND FOLATE DEFICIENCIES.
3. VITAMIN K DEFICIENCY
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS OF ALZHEIMER’S IS INSULIN RESISTANCE.
INSULIN RESISTANCE AND/OR DIABETES IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN ELEVATING YOUR
BLOOD PRESSURE, AS WELL AS FOR GAINING EXCESS WEIGHT, ELEVATING YOUR
LIPIDS, BLOOD SUGAR AND URIC ACID LEVELS, AND DEVELOPING HEART DISEASE.
IF YOU ARE PRODUCING TOO MUCH INSULIN YOU’RE GOING TO BE AT RISK FOR ALL OF
THESE HEALTH PROBLEMS—ALONG WITH BRAIN ATROPHY AND ALZHEIMER’S AS
WELL
SCIENTISTS STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT CAUSES ALZHEIMER’S. THE CHIEF SUSPECTS
ARE A STICKY GUNK CALLED BETA-AMALYOID AND TANGLES OF A PROTEIN NAMED
TAU THAT CLOGS DYING BRAIN CELLS.

23. SUBSTITUTES FOR SOME OF THE FOODS YOU SHOULD AVOID
THERE ARE VERY GOOD SUBSTITUTIONS FOR THE FOODS YOU SHOULD AVOID. FOR TYPE A AND O, WHO
SHOULD AVOID ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS, THERE ARE MANY SUBSTITUTES FOR COW’S MILK – SILK, GOAT’S
MILK, RICE MILK, AND ALMOND MILK THAT ARE GOOD FOR ALL BLOOD TYPES. FROZEN YOGURT AND
RICE ICE CREAM AND MANY OTHER FROZEN SUBSTITUTES FOR ICE CREAM ARE AVAILABLE, SINCE ICE
CREAM IS AN AVOID IN EVERY BLOOD TYPE. GOAT CHEESE IS A VERY DELICIOUS SUBSTITUTE FOR OTHER
CHEESES. TO AVOID EATING WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY AND CORN, YOU CAN ALSO BUY BREAD AND PASTA
MADE FROM RICE, SPELT, AND OTHER GRAINS AND THE EZEKIEL BREAD, WHICH IS LIKE MEDICINE FOR
ALL BLOOD TYPES. KEEP IT IN THE FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR AT HOME. YOU CAN NOW BUY BREAD
MIXES FOR YOUR BREAD MAKER THAT DO NOT CONTAIN WHEAT. THERE IS A VERY TASTY CRACKER
MADE OF RICE AND NUTS, WHICH ARE GOOD FOR ALL BLOOD TYPES. THEY ARE CALLED NUT-THINS AND
COME IN PECAN, ALMOND AND HAZELNUT.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBSTITUTION IS THE EZEKIEL BREAD PRODUCT. THIS UNIQUE BREAD IS MADE
FROM FRESHLY SPROUTED LIVE GRAINS AND CONTAINS ABSOLUTELY NO FLOUR. SPROUTING IS THE BEST
WAY TO RELEASE ALL OF THE VITAL NUTRIENTS STORED IN WHOLE GRAINS. THEY ALSO MAKE BUNS,
RAISIN BREAD, ENGLISH MUFFINS, BAGELS, CEREAL WHICH ARE VERY TASTY. THE BREADS ARE IN THE
FREEZER SECTION IN THE SUPERMARKETS AND CHECK OUT THE GREENWISE DEPARTMENTS FOR THE
CEREAL. . ALWAYS TOAST THE BREADS AND BUNS FOR A VERY DELICIOUS TREAT.

28. SUGGESTIONS FOR MEALS FOR ALL BLOOD TYPES
BREAKFAST
Juice of 1/2 lemon with hot Drink before taking anything in your stomach.
water 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 antioxidant you can drink. Very beneficial
for all blood types. Coffee is beneficial for Type A and neutral for B
but 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 cholesterol
dried cranberries
pineapple
plums
pomegranate
Oatmeal I put a heaping tbl of ground flaxseed or Chia seeds, handful of chopped
nuts (almonds or walnuts) handful of dried figs, cranberries, raisins, or
blueberries. 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 or Chia seeds and fruit to it also.
Yogurt I have always used the plain non-fat and added sliced almonds, flaxseed or
chia seeds and fruit (blueberries, dried cranberries etc.) Now I have switched
to Greek Yogurt since it has twice as much protein and since I don't eat meat
I need to get more protein.
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
When I eat out for breakfast I usually get an omelet with mushrooms
and spinach.
Pomegranate smoothie 1 cup 100% pomegranate juice, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 4 oz soft tofu,2
scoops Chia seeds, 1 1/2 - 2 TBL honey. Put in blender.
LUNCH
Goat cheese on Nut Thin Goat cheese is very beneficial for Type B & AB and neutral for A and O
crackers This is good with a dab of pepper jelly. The crackers are made with rice and
3 kinds of nuts - almonds, pecans, and Hazelnut (filberts). Hazelnuts are not
good for B and AB.

29. Salads Lots of vegetables to choose from, but don't mix fruits with vegetables.
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, & AB but Type B &O cannot eat peanuts.
Soup I cook soup a couple of times a month with all good vegetables for
me and I eat it quite a few times since the recipes always serve 4-6
I suppose some canned soups are OK, but usually they have a lot
of sodium and other ingredients that aren't so good for us.
Sandwiches Open face sandwich -Toasted Ezekiel English muffins with tuna salad, egg
salad, peanut butter & jelly (not good for B & O). Type O can use Soy butter
which is very good and Type B can use almond butter.
DINNER
Salmon Salmon is really good for Type A ,B, & AB and neutral for O. I only use wild
salmon since 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 good
for Type A & O, but very bad for Type B & AB.
Many kinds of fish Best ones for all types are salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines because all are
very high in Omega 3 fatty acids which are very good for heart and eyes and
are not made by our bodies.
Seared AHI tuna Coat tuna with a mixture of black and white sesame seeds. Sear for 2 to 3
min each side. I use a little salt before coating with the seeds.
Vegetables I am trying to use vegetables that I am not used to eating. I just put
the 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 one
of the most important foods for us.
Turkey Turkey is good for all blood types
Rice Whole grain and wild rice. Good substitute for potatoes. No white rice.
There are good packaged mixes of whole grain and wild that are very good
for all blood types.
DESSERTS
Frozen yogurt Yogurt is very good for Type B & AB, neutral for TypeA, and avoid for Type
O. My favorite is Publix's Moose Tracks and Edy's Chocolate Fudge Brownie.
BEVERAGES I drink one glass of red wine for dinner (very good for type A neutral for all
others.) White wine is neutral for A,B,AB and avoid for O. Liquor is avoid
for all types. Beer is avoid for A & O.
