From the Editors

Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has forever changed the strategy for eating right to lose weight and achieving maximum health. Because he discovered what many already instinctively knew-that a plan that works for one person may make another ill-there will never be a one-size-fits-all diet again. And since we now know that each blood type is affected differently by common diseases and conditions, there will never be a one-size-fits-all plan of action. <br><br> With more than 2 million copies of his books in print, G. P. Putnam's Sons announces the launch of Dr. D'Adamo's <i>Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type</i> Library. Over the next two years, eight books will be published on eight different conditions, the first two being cancer and diabetes. In these books, readers will find new information individualized for their blood type and illness. In addition to the food categories Beneficial, Neutral, and Avoid, Dr. D'Adamo introduces a new category-Superbeneficial-for helping your body fight disease. He also introduces self-assessment tests to determine status and measure progress. Supplement, lifestyle, and exercise protocols are tailored to each blood type and condition. There has never been a better arsenal for fighting disease, and never an easier or clearer tool.

Customer Response

Not all inclusive but a good introduction to concepts geared at a particular challenge
I actually bought this book to help me for an essay based on Dr. D'Adamo's research regarding cancer and type A blood.

I went through all of his books as well as some other information from his website and a study guide.

I am awaiting my test results, but my assessment is this book is meant to be an introduction to the concepts based on a specific health concern. If your goal is to learn something and modify your diet a little, this book will help.

I would encourage you to take it to a deeper level than just this one book.

The info D'Adamo has presented on cancer is spread throughout Dr. D's many works. Certainly knowledge is not stagnant and any one source is a bit outdated the minute it is published. There is some info that appears in multiple places, but I think on the whole, I got a much better grasp on this approach from going through all of the books.

I would encourage anyone dealing with cancer to work with an IfHI practitioner in conjunction with their MD or oncologist. You may or may not find support or understanding of this approach as a lot of the science (AND THERE IS A TON OF SCIENCE RESEARCH OUT THERE) has not been taught in medical school or publicized by others.

Of course, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. :)

Jump on over to the author's site and check out the message boards and all the info. You will find a supportive community and people who have healed themselves of all sorts of things---and people who are being proactive and going toward optimum health.

It's been an outstanding journey for me so far. Many blessings.

Cancer or Not GREAT BOOK
Whether you or a loved one has cancer or not having the information at your fingertips for super beneficial foods to avoid foods is priceless. It even covers the non-secretors!

Fascinating read on blood types, diet, and cancer risk
Excellent overview of blood types and their relation

needed to stay healthy or fight existing cancer.
Definitely worth the read.

Message from a Cancer Fighter
Please bear with this long review. I am currently being treated for breast cancer and I have AB blood type. My chiropractor gave me this book. I was struck by the fact that AB blood type is not only rare, but creates a friendly immune system. My particular diagnosis is early stage (2), estrogen-receptor positive. This cancer is known to be more aggressive in Black women. Based on those factors, I knew that I did not want a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition.

I had never been able to conquer my sweet tooth prior to this diagnosis. I want to share with readers my results in following the diet for blood type AB. The sweet took problem became easier to deal with once I viewed sugar as a poison. I have been following the diet as faithfully as possible for 2-1/2 months. I unexpectedly lost 18 pounds in nine weeks. My goal was to give my body the best nutrition possible as I headed toward surgery and chemo. The first 7 pounds were gone in two weeks before I had surgery. This was a good thing since I had to have lymph nodes removed and biopsied from my armpit. This procedure creates a lifelong risk of lymphedema. I still do not have lymphedema, but the weight loss helps my chances of continuing to avoid it. Chemo can also cause the onset of lymphedema. I do not ever want to get it because I am an avid tennis player.

I continued to stay on the diet and was very intentional about what I would put in my body. I dropped an additional 11 pounds. Without exercise or counting calories, the weight fell off. I became concerned that it would continue, but then my weight stabilized at just five pounds over what it was 13 years ago when I started gaining weight. It was like my metabolism had been re-set.

I started chemo almost two months ago. My goal was to keep my body supported as best I could through nutrition. Doctors don't give you details on nutrition and, as I stated before, I didn't want a one-size-fits-all approach. I added supplements to my diet regimen: milk thistle to support liver function; and an ultra-absorbable CoQ10 and fish oil for my heart health. The point of following this particular diet was to not make my body work any harder than necessary to digest food and eliminate waste.

Based on what people who had the identical chemo treatment have shared with me, I have not had the same side effects of fatigue, constipation, heartburn, insomnia, or dry mouth. This is not to say that I don't have any side effects from the chemo. My hair started falling out two weeks ago, my fingernails are darkening, and the pigment in the palms of my hands has darkened. But, I am playing tennis again, every other week, and working out in the gym.

Other things I noticed from following this diet is that I don't get gassy or bloated anymore, and I don't get sluggish after a meal. The only thing I can figure is that I am not eating those foods that are not meant for my body. That's a good thing.

For my particular diagnosis, I pray for remission (forever, if possible) because cancer could recur in any part of my body. So if this author says that to boost my Natural Killer Cells means that I need to eat snails, then I go to a French restaurant and order the escargot appetizer once a week. I have given up some foods that I'd really enjoyed in the past (crab, shrimp, flounder, and bananas, for instance), but I'm finding different recipes and foods to enjoy. This learning process is obviously worth it. I am tolerating chemo better than even the doctors imagined, but I'm also not doing anything that gets in the way of the treatment. I have every intention of coming out of this healthier than ever and I believe this book has given me the tools to do it.
