WOW! I really shouldn't write that type of post when tired. I am surprised anyone understood what I was saying...laugh laugh laugh

Teasel, intramax is an interesting product, talk about broad spectrum! It is not something I would take as all of the minerals and vitamins are synthetic. I really like that they use natural ingredients for other support functions.

Pansy, this is the brand of whole food, organic supplements that I use http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/mykind-Organics.aspx

They aren't cheap, not the most expensive supplements I've seen either. I feel that they are definitely worth the price.

I think the stress of worrying and watching what you eat does more damage than the actual food.

For me exercise is more important, even light exercise.
Exercise also improves the state of mind.

I didn't read all the posts, a little too sophisticated for melaugh

I have cut down on my donuts recently and when I succumb to temptation I just do an extra ten minutes on the tread mill, happy days.

Joe, I do not disagree with that.

Which is why I am not a fan of the term 'diet'. I do not weigh or measure my food. I don't count calories or carbs or fat.

As I said before, eating well doesn't have to be hard or complicated.

I simply eat real, whole foods. I eat to live and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Mmmmm butter!

I agree, and yes I love proper butter, not this low fat spread crap, it's unhealthy anyway.

I think moderation and common sense and you'll be ok

I was living in Florida and golden tanned for 16 yrs. when I got tested for D3 which was barely readable. It took me a solid yr. of doses that would be toxic to someone else before my levels where in the normal range.


then there was definitely much more going on , i imagine...? kidney or liver problem, perhaps...?

how do you attribute the changes as being from the blood type diet and not to the other treatments you received?

you look lovely in your picture, by the way :thumbsup:


No, no Kidney or Liver problems. The blood type diet and did for yrs. before anything else starting during my third pregnancy as my sons blood type was O so I had to take shots since I am B negative. It was then that I learned about the Blood Type diet. I also started gestational diabetes until I changed in diet and it went completely away within a month of diet change.
IntraMAX� is a completely organic, liquid, trace mineral, multi-nutritional dietary supplement. A potent all-in-one formula, It contains over 65 organic, trace minerals, health-promoting superfoods and phyto-nutrients. It's low glycemic, vegetarian, hypoallergenic and has no chemicals.

Thank-you for the compliment and the thread. Being a senior now as of last week I'll take all the compliments with grace.
You always have good subjects of meaning and purpose!
I appreciate you very much!

Is anyone familiar with the blood type diet?
No, it has nothing to do with vampirism and such...lol...

I only found out about it about 3-4 years ago, when an uncle of mine was looking for ways to help alleviate his various health problems. Apparently its been around for a few decades now.

We all know the dictum, we are what we eat, and frankly, instant and fast food is always part of our diet. Though free-range and organic is making waves, it's still a far cry from dominating our dinner tables.

But aside from the regular doctor's advice, low-fat, low-carb, low glycemic index, low protein, more exercise, less salt...blah blah blah.... We know the drill... This diet seems abstractly logical, if that's possible.

It follows the principles of immunology and the body's antibody reaction to certain antigens.

We know that our blood types are ABO (+) or (-), and this is based on the antigen that we have and the antibody against the others. Apparently, i read that blood type O people are the ones whose genetic make-up is most related to historic hunter groups, type A are associated with populations from predominantly fishing communities and type B are more from the gatherer populations.

The blood type diet is suppose to work on the assumption that specific types of foods can trigger a reaction from these antigen/antibodies interactions which causes microscopic inflammation, some might even refer to as an allergy or an immunologic reaction. This is suppose to have developed because of the evolution of the blood-immune system based on the foods that were available to each respective population type.

This reaction, accumulates and taxes the body's system over time, gives rise to and aggravates various chronic medical illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis, blood vessel diseases, asthmatic conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, hormonal imbalances, some cancers, etc...

They provide a chart of a list of food groups against blood type, and indicate certain illnesses that a particular blood type is prone to getting.

I found out that being type O+, i was more prone to thyroid dysfunction, heart and blood vessel trouble, and i should lessen dairy, avoid foods of the nightshade family (ie. eggplant and potatoes), avoid cinnamon, cabbage...etc. and am more adept at digesting proteins in general. I found this interesting because it kind of explains my physical aversion to certain specific foods mentioned in the AVOID category.

I'm not trying to sell the idea...lol... But it does seem interesting enough to share and could be something to consider in lifestyle adjustment. And i was wondering if anyone on here has had experience in this?

This is the website... But i know there is also a paperback publication regarding this.

Cheerio...lol...
I sure do,I actually have the book!
