I a m sorry.for my long perido away

Sorry to everyone who sent messages and I did not respond back to.

At that time I just lost my second twin,and to be honest went through a series of depression.

It was an emotional roller coaster for me ! I do have atwo year old son now but I will never forget my daughter's faces and their gentle presence  will always remain in my heart.

The gene coding for your blood type lies on chromosome 9q34. However, a separate gene actually interacts with your blood type gene, determining your ability to secrete your blood type antigens into body fluids and secretions.

In the genetics of the secretor system two options exist. A person can be either a Secretor (Se) or a Non-secretor (se). This is completely independent of whether you are a blood type A, B, AB, or O. This means that someone can be an A Secretor or an A Non-secretor, a B Secretor or a B Non-secretor etc.

In a simplified sense, a Secretor is defined as a person who secretes their blood type antigens into body fluids and secretions like the saliva in your mouth, the mucus in your digestive tract and respiratory cavities, etc. Basically what this means is that a secretor puts their blood type into these body fluids. A Non-secretor on the other hand puts little to none of their blood type into these same fluids. As a general rule, in the U.S. about 20% of the population are Non-secretors (with the remaining 80% being Secretors)

Meats and Poultry
HB	N	A
Lamb Mutton Rabbit Venison	Beef Beef, ground Buffalo Liver Pheasant Turkey Veal	Bacon Chicken Cornish hen Duck Goose Ham Heart Partridge Pork Quail

"Chicken," writes D'Adamo, "contains a Blood Type B agglutinating lectin in its muscle tissue," and this lectin has the power "to attack your bloodstream and potentially lead to strokes and immune disorders."

"There appears to be a direct connection between stress, autoimmune disorders, and red meat in the Type B system," D'Adamo tells us, because "Type B ancestors adapted better to other kinds of meats," not beef. He suggests that "if you are fatigued or suffer from immune deficiencies, you should eat red meat such as lamb, mutton, or rabbit several times a week, in preference to beef or turkey." (148-49)

Seafood

Rich in nutritious oils, deep-ocean fish (e.g salmon, cod) are particularly good for Type B, as are white fish (e.g. flounder, halibut, sole); but shellfish (e.g. crab, lobster, mussels, shrimp) are not, and D'Adamo recommends they be avoided. (149-50)

HB	N	A
	Almond butter Almonds Brazil nuts Chestnuts Hickory nuts Litchi nuts Macadamia nuts Pecans Walnuts	Cashews Filberts Piñola (pine) nuts Pistachio Peanut butter Peanuts Poppy seeds Pumpkin seeds Sesame butter (tahini) Sesame seeds Sunflower butter Sunflower seeds

Most nuts and seeds are not advised for Type B." The lectins in several (e.g. peanut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds) "interfere with Type B insulin production." (154)

Beans and Legumes
HB	N	A
Beans: kidney lima navy red soy	Beans: broad cannellini copper fava green jicama northern red snap string tamarind white Peas, green Peas, pod	Beans: aduke azuki black garbanzo pinto Lentils: domestic green red Peas, black-eyed

Some beans and legumes are acceptable for Type B, but many (e.g. black-eyed peas, garbanzos, lentils, pintos) "interfere with the production of insulin." Even where beans are tolerated, D'Adamo advises Type B to eat them sparingly and limit selection to the highly beneficial group. (155)

Cereals
HB	N	A
Millet Oat bran Oatmeal Rice, puffed Rice bran Spelt	Cream of Rice Familia Farina Granola Grape Nuts	Amaranth Barley Buckwheat Cornflakes Cornmeal Cream of Wheat Kamut Kasha Rye Seven grain Shredded Wheat Wheat bran Wheat germ

Though wheat may not be a problem in some cases, it is not well tolerated by most Type Bs. "Wheat contains a lectin that attaches to the insulin receptors in the fat cells," which prohibits insulin attachment, resulting in "reduced insulin efficiency and failure to stimulate fat 'burning'."

"Type Bs also should avoid rye, which contains a lectin that settles in the vascular system, causing blood disorders and potentially[,] strokes."

"More than any other food," corn and buckwheat "contribute to a sluggish metabolism, insulin irregularity, fluid retention, and fatigue." They are "major factors in Type B weight gain."

Juices and Fluids
HB	N	A

The tomato is a rare vegetable called a panhemaglutinan. That means it contains lectins that agglutinate every blood type. While the tomato lectin has little effect on Type O or Type AB, both Type B and Type A suffer strong reactions, usually in the form of irritations of the stomach lining." (159)

"Warming herbs" (e.g. cayenne pepper, curry, ginger, horseradish) are suggested as best for Type B, but "white and black pepper, which contain problem lectins," should be avoided.

"Sweet herbs" (e.g. barley malt sweetners, cinnamon, cornstarch, corn syrup) "tend to be stomach irritants," but "white and brown sugar, honey, and molasses, which respond in a neutral way to the Type B digestive system," are acceptable in moderation, as are small quantities of chocolate. (164)

There are four blood type groups: O, A, B, and AB. The majority of people are Blood Type O. Next comes Blood Type A, then Blood Type B; and, Blood Type AB is very rare and has only been around for about 1000 years. Less than 5% of the world's population have Blood Type AB.

Blood Type B

This blood type developed between 15,000 and 10,000 BC. Persons with Blood Type B have tolerant digestive systems, and can tolerate most foods equally well, with some exceptions. They are the lucky ones who can digest all types of foods with ease. However, the foods they should avoid are corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts, and sesame seeds, as these foods will tend to make them gain weight. Just like the Type O's, Type B's tend to have a problem with gluten in wheat products and wheat germ, which can cause a drop in their blood sugar levels, causing symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Blood Type B's who want to lose weight should definitely avoid wheat products. These lucky people can handle dairy products okay, compared to the other blood types. However, easy does it; if you consume too many high-calorie dairy products, you will gain weight! If you get hypoglycemia after eating a meal, sipping licorice tea would be beneficial for you. It is not advisable to take licorice supplements, unless under the supervision of a doctor. However, sipping licorice tea is very good.

Foods that encourage weight loss - Green vegetables; red meat such as lamb, mutton and rabbit; liver; turkey; pheasant; eggs/low-fat dairy products, including eggs from chicken; seafood, especially deep ocean fish such as cod and salmon, also flounder, halibut and sole; licorice tea. (Licorice tea is great to sip after a meal, as this will prevent hypoglycemia); soy foods; olive and flaxseed oil; oatmeal; oat bran; millet; rice bran; spelt; puffed rice.
