Arthritis: Fight it with the Blood Type Diet: The Individualized Plan for Defeating the Pain of Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, ... Conditions (Eat Right 4 Your Type) Paperback – September 6, 2005

I'm a 79 year old airline certified full time flight instructor. Dr. D'Adamo Eat 4 your blood type (I'm type "O") changed my life and the lives of many professional pilots I've trained for many years. His books are scientific not "professional opinions or diets" Every year I pass rigorous FAA medical exams and also submit letters from my Docs who state, in writing" they have never seen a 79 year old in my incredible health. I do no regular exercise, as a Marine I did enough of that boring crap. I weighed 145 lbs, a grunt feather merchant at 17 in the early 1950's. I weigh 154 lbs now and thanks to Dr. D'Adamo am a lean Marine fighting machine. Keep it simple. Just suck it up (I thought life was over giving up Chicago Pizza, Hebrew dill pickles, my beloved potatoes and corn for rice and giving up other "Avoid" items that I loved while they were slowly killing me.)if I am a guest I will eat what they serve, the books say don't be a fanatic. Every once in awhile I will just savor Papa Murphy's Pizza and tell my body ,"okay this won't kill you just do your damn job".For just five days AND nights don't eat or drink ANTHING LISTED TO AVOID. You won't notice anything because you never did anything like this before. On the sixth day eat any damn thing you want all day. You will wake up we with a "hangover" that will feel like the way you used to wake up!!! Like crap. I would rather die then give up a big mug of brewed coffee laced with International Hazelnut Cream first thing in the morning. After, I chug a 16.9 oz bottle of water hoping the body won't notice.For me, my personal "truth" is, DOES IT WORK? Eat 4 your blood type is not up for debate it is scientific FACT, blood is tested and to AVOID food causes my immune system (My white cells were all trained by Marines and they don't negotiate they see the enemy and kill it with no rules of engagement. The problem is with bad food they don't see an anemy. They have to attack something so they go for the brain (MS?) Organs (cancer). I suggest you buy his book and try it for 5 days AND nights.

I am blood type O and this book changed my life.I've had PA for 7 years and currently I am pain free without medications because of this book.Pretty bold statement huh? ... well it's not a miracle pill, it's a lifestyle protocol.

After the first seven days you'll quickly realize the protocol has the foundational merits you need to build a pain free life.Some people complain that the diet is too restrictive, but that was not the case with me. For every food listed to avoid there are beneficial foods listed that can be added to your diet. In the Potato Restriction VS Walking debate, Walking wins every time ... bye bye potato.In Summary: For less than the cost of a pizza this book gives you a lifetime of health. Take a chance, you'll be thrilled with the results.

I have read a few of Peter D'Adamo's books and was convinced but only half heartedly tried the principles. Recently I was diagnosed with Arthritis so purchased this book and was motivated to give it a good 'go'.Pain used to keep me awake at night but no longer. After just a few months the pain is negligible, and I am able to return to my sport.A great side benefit is the loss of 9kgs. I feel and look fit and can heartily recommend following the program. My husband is a different blood type, but recipes have not been difficult to work out, especially with the help of the D'Adamo website.To start with, you need to cut out foods you really like, but after a while, can gradually add them back in, if they don't affect you adversely.The rewards are well worth the 'pain' of disciplining yourself to resist temptation.

Years age, I read his book about eating right for your blood type. As I've aged and Arthritis has taken on new meaning, I felt it was time to again look at my eating patterns. I can't give any conclusive comments regarding the effect of my blood type foods on my Arthritis at this time.

This gives more specific recommendations to help with arthritis than are provided in the other blood type diet books by Dr. D'Adamo. I am happy to be quickly experiencing the benefit of the added recommendations. Ir's well worth reading and implementing the suggestions.

I have degenerative disc disease, horrific arthritis, and I have had 4 back surgeries. I followed the O diet plan and within 2 months I could walk upstairs without 2 hands on the railing taking one step at a time. I could actually walk up the stairs like a normal person and carry the laundry basket. I could put socks on in the morning when I got up. I don't limp funny anymore when I walk. I would wake up crying happy tears that I was not in pain anymore! This has been a miracle for me. I bought this book for my neurosurgeon who gave up on me. There was nothing more he could do. My next step was a pain clinic. I have no more pain. I feel like I'm 20 years old again! This book is for anyone who has a debilitating arthritis. Give it two months and watch your entire life change for the better. I've been spreading this book title like a new religion. Please get this even for a loved one who is suffering with arthritis.

I'm shocked he's still recommends soy products for blood type A when roughly 95% of soy grown in the United States is genetically engineered
