Diet, and eating for blood type

Dr. Allison (the doctor I'm seeing for vitamin C and ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy) suggested I use the information in Eat Right 4 Your Type by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo to work out a good diet. We had this book, and I had looked at it before, but had not really followed its recommendations for my blood type. I am type B positive. Then I found Dr. D'Adamo has another book especially for cancer: Cancer, Fight It with the Blood Type Diet. I bought the book, and found it had very useful information, not only about diet, but about cancer.

One good thing that I discovered is that type B's tend to be less susceptible to getting cancer in the first place, and if they do develop cancer, the outcome is usually more positive. But I also found out that some of the foods that have been staples in my diet (pinto beans, corn, tomatoes --yeah, I love Mexican food!) are on the "avoid" list for my blood type! Damn!

My husband is a type A, and his list of beneficial foods and foods to avoid is in many cases opposite mine. That makes family meal planning a bit difficult! Of course he doesn't have cancer, so maybe it isn't as essential for him to follow the diet.

So, I'm working out a diet based on the information in this book. In addition to dietary suggestions, the book also makes suggestions for supplements and exercise. I realize that if I am going to heal this cancer, I need to be much more diligent about changing my lifestyle. I haven't been exercising enough, and there are several supplements Dr. D'Adamo suggests that I haven't been taking. I need to make healing my very first priority, even though it will take time and careful attention.
