If you're one of the...lucky ones who have discovered the medical break through of eating right for you blood type, you're in the right place! The Blood Type Diet is based on decades of research and a life-long dedication to making the connection between food and individualized health. Dr. D'Adamo is a second generation Naturopathic Physician who has spent his entire life helping people understand this medical marvel. It's based on the fact that many foods have proteins called "Lectins" that act very much like Antibodies on pathogens in your body. These lectins are attracted to the specific markers on your blood cells, depending on the type of sugar (i.e. your 'blood type') you have, and cause your cells to clump together, making a difficult delivery of nutrients to the rest of the cells in your body. It starts in the intestines- causing an almost explosive reaction to your villi, and ending up in your blood stream where they can inhibit the function of your major organs, joints, and even brain cells. By chosing the right foods, your immune system (of which more than 50% is located in your digestive tract) will be in balance, and your body will be able to easily digest and assimilate all of the nutrients that it needs to keep you in a maximum state of well-being.Dr.Tamale Ismail has changed the lives of literally thousands of people with research carried out by Dr. D'Adamo and simple truths about food in Africa. If you are one of those who has either overcome years of chronic health problems, or who simply enjoys the feeling of complete well-being, you know this is the group for you! "Your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longevity, physical vitality, and emotional strength. Your blood type determines your susceptivility to illness, which foods you should eat, and how you should exercise. It is a factor in your energy levels, in the efficiency with which you "burn" calories, in your emotional response to stress, and perhaps even in your personality." -Introduction, ER4YT
