What Is Your Blood Type?

I am an AB blood type with a negative Rh factor. Did you know that less than 1% of the world population has this blood type? 1 out of 167 people. Think about that for a moment.

Do you know your own blood type? Why is it important to know? What are the health and diet concerns for people with this blood type? Does your blood type affect your personality?

AB "The Enigma" 

It is called the "The Enigma".

Wikipedia definition: An enigma is a puzzle, something mysterious or inexplicable, or a riddle or difficult problem.

According to all the research I have done, the first positive date for AB blood type was 700 AD. However, if you believe the Shroud of Turin, which was found to have AB blood on it, was the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in after his crucifixion, then it would be much earlier than that.

What does AB mean in blood types?

Those who have type AB blood do not make any A,B, or O antibodies. It will accept any blood type in a transfusion. AB is the universal recipient.

So how did it come into being when the rest of the world was O, A, and B?
If an A is inherited from one parent and a B from the other, the type will be AB.

Personality By Blood Type? 

What does your blood type say about YOU?

Personality Traits By Blood Type - A Japanese Concept I thought this was a really fun site! I never thought of blood type affecting your personality. But just as many feel their astrological sign affects their personality, some also think blood type does too!

A portion of the info from the AB blood type: "Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups." That, mixed with being a Gemini in astrology? It's no wonder no one understands me :)

The Links between Your Blood Type and Your Personality Though I'm not too sure how I feel about being considered "flaky", nevertheless it seems to be true sometimes.

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has established himself as the world's most popular and respected authority on the connection between blood type and eating, cooking and living. Eat Right 4 Your Type, Cook Right 4 Your Type, and Live Right 4 Your Type have created an international phenomenon.

Now comes the essential reference book to answer all your questions about conditions, herbs, supplements, medication and food. From asthma to sore throat, from cancer to thrombosis, this guide recommends treatment for hundreds of conditions, citing rigorous studies that detail the frequency and severity of the conditions for each blood type.

Quoted from a reviewer:

"I picked this book--and the diet--up when I browsed it in the store and noted that the medical problems in my family charted almost exactly with the risk factors for blood type. (Blood type correlations with disease have actually been established in peer-reviewed medical journals for a long time, although they aren't much talked about.) I tried the diet. I'm about three weeks in. I've lost 10 pounds, my digestive problems are much improved, I feel more energetic, I don't crave sweets, and -- the most convincing thing for me, because I wasn't looking for it and therefore can't attribute it to the placebo effect -- the morning stiffness I've had for 30 years is gone. It takes at least a week for things to kick in--especially if one has increased intestinal permeability due to intestinal damage--but it does, and for many, myself included, the results are quite profound."

Diet Concerns 

These are my personal experiences and are not meant to be used as gospel for anyone other than me. It is only a suggestion to read about your blood type.

I began reading "Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type" when my parents suggested it might help me with some of my food reaction issues. My body has rejected poultry of any kind all my life. Though I love all kinds of poultry, I cannot eat it without a violent and dangerous reaction to it. Food allergies are terrible, especially when it's something you love. I've always had issues with meats. I love it, but my body does not.

When I received the book, I opened to the AB blood type and there it was in black and white! My problem? ABs are the vegetarians of the blood groups. Now that made more sense to me. Once I began kicking some of the meat, not all, out of my diet, I felt better and my body began responding the way it should.
