How Many Hours You Sleep, The poison Ricin, The Blood Type Diet and "That Magic Metabolism?" Oh yes, they're ALL related!
Ricin
Ricin is a poison, made from the hull of the castor bean. In its finished form it is a collection of tiny proteins. These proteins are 'incompatible' with all animals.
What's so bad about the proteins? They stick to the cells of your body. Why is this bad? Think about it. A red blood cell touches a ricin protein and they stick to each other. The red blood cell travels along and touches another blood cell or the blood vessel wall and they're not joined. They're not coming apart.
Ingesting even a tiny amount of ricin will put enough proteins in your blood stream, all of your blood clumps up and stops moving. Then, you die. This process takes a scant few minutes.
This process is called "Agglutination" with ricin being a "super agglutinator." The name for the type of protein? It's called a 'lectin.'
The Blood Type Diet
This information has been developing for over 20 years now. The majority of the food differences are based on their lectin content. Though ricin is "avoid" (extremely avoid!) for all blood types, the lectins in various foods have different levels of agglutination for differing blood types. The research on lectins goes back over 100 years and is quite solid.
The various blood types, and the differences in lectins in various foods, explains why the different diets have different effects on people. I watched this, while growing up, with my parents. My father is O blood type, my mother is A. They cycled through every 'diet' which came along for over 20 years.
Some worked great for my father, not my mother. Others worked for my mother, not my father. Some worked 'so-so' for both. NONE of the diets they tried worked for both of them.
Ever see a family with one skinny parent, one fat parent and a gaggle of skinny and fat kids? They're all eating the same food, and some of the food is 'avoid' for the fat parent/kids. You'll find the fat parent is one blood type and the fat kids are the same blood type as they are. The skinny parent and kids will also be the same blood type.
Holy Over Obvious Batman! I know, right?
Everyone (who doesn't have it) Wants "That Magic Metabolism"
Struggling to gain or lose weight? Unhealthy? No energy? Sleeping 8hrs a night or more and STILL waking up tired? It's your food, baby. The amazing thing about eating correctly for your blood type is the energy and health boost. I literally sleep 4-5hrs a night, when my food is correct. I'm flat out unable to 'sleep in,' and have my feet tapping within mintues of waking up. I eat 'avoid' foods and I'm sleepy. I eat too many avoids and I sleep for 8hrs or more, and wake up tired.
When my diet is according to my blood type, I either don't get sick, or I kick whatever I catch within hours. Currently, my food is not quite proper and I'm sick for the first time in at least a year. Fun.
Things Which Make the BTD Ineffective
Your body is quite sensitive to 'avoid' foods. I've read a lot of stories over the years of people who 'tried' the BTD and it "didn't work" for them. After working with the BTD for over 10 years, I understand why people say this.
My wife was nearly 400lbs when I met her, she's now around 260. She would be 185'ish (normal for her height) if we had been eating correctly the last 10 years. Since real food is expensive, we've been on and off the diet. She's lost and regained around 300lbs in 10 years, still down about 100 :)
This weight loss occurs at 3-4lbs a week, when her diet is proper. No excercise, no extra activity, simply changing what she eats. She can eat two snicker's bars in a week and her weight loss will drop to zero. Talk about sensitive!
Stay Away From:
- Foods listed as 'Avoid' for your blood type
- Artificial anything (if it's not on 'the list' it's best to treat it as an avoid for everyone)
- Highly processed or refined foods
- Adulterated foods (B blood type and can't have chicken? Better check those packages of turkey, a lot of mfgs use it as a filler.)
- Packaged foods
Read Food Labels
Soy milk is great for my blood type. Unless I make it myself, reading the lable on any packaged soy milk is a necessity. Soy milk is made from soybeans (non-gmo, thanks) and water. I don't care how 'organic' the cane sugar is, it's avoid for my blood type. SILK(tm) is definitely NOT soy milk.
Your package needs to list real foods, without any fillers, binders, sweeteners, artificial or "natural" flavors. The legalese behind "natural flavors" is disgusting, just stay away. Let's face it, if it was a 'natura' flavor your package would say "crushed strawberry pulp" or something similar. Caffeine is a 'natural' flavor and it's made from petroleum. (Organically derived caffeine is generaly too expensive to add ot foods for flavor)
Enjoy the Energy
What would you do with 4 more hours a day?
this post contains important content that many people never piece together. the ricin bit is something i wish more people knew. here is a patent that applies a field which reverses the agglutination process: http://www.patents.com/us-5139684.html all chemical processes are electrical. proteins are easily neutralized by the proper electrical field. do you have any ideas about how to get this various content widely disseminated? the content here is of great value but has been here 3 weeks with 8 upvotes. our valuable content is disappearing down the time stream. i've begun to think that i should fill up my unused posts every day with links to useful content that i didn't create but then i get "where's the beef" complaints and have left such comments too. so much information is being drowned out by uninformed or pointless crap. i think posts like this one need much greater visibility but if i simply post a link someone comes by and tells me that it is of no content or low value because i didn't create it, i merely found it. i would find a link to this post more valuable than all of the fly on leaf photography someone could produce in a year. if i had known about vitamin K2 10 years ago i would have saved years of ill health and tens of thousands of dollars. any thoughts? to be fair, i found you valuable content because of a "where's the beef" but i don't expect to always be so lucky. you never know what piece of information will save a life. comment to this post: https://steemit.com/health/@lifeworship/activator-x-critical-to-your-health-and-almost-unknown-vitamin-k2#@thecleangame/re-lifeworship-activator-x-critical-to-your-health-and-almost-unknown-vitamin-k2-20160928t114129180z referenced in this comment

Nice post! Eating right for your blood type can be very beneficial. I often think that it's a good place to start for anyone who is entertaining the idea of making a change to their eating lifestyle. Lots of people are now trained in live blood analysis and it's fairly easy to have a single drop of blood analyzed under a microscope. You can have it done, then follow the diet for your blood type for 3 months, then have your blood re-tested. Most people who stick to the foods for their blood type show marked improvement, in addition to reporting how much better they feel anecdotally.

I've witnessed amazing results with sick people. Every young, very sick, person we've met has been the AB blood type. Shortest list of 'beneficial' foods out there.
Really maximizes your energy levels. :) Right now my food is poor and It's awful, knowing how good I used to feel. lol

I guess the silver lining in this, is that you have made the connection that the type of food you eat is directly related to how well your body operates or runs. So, what you put into your mouth is a choice and that choice will either serve you well or it won't. Knowing that there is a difference puts the power to be healthy back in your control. :)

I've heard of the blood type diet but never really looked into it. I only require about 4-6 hours of sleep at most. Sometimes I only get those hours in broken sleep thanks to my dogs. I'm blood type B. Is there anything specific I need to stay away from?

Dr. Peter D'Adamo wrote the book: Eat Right for Your Type.
This link may shed some more light on the specific foods to eat and avoid depending on your blood type.

I would use it as a base guideline only. Generally, paying attention to how a food makes you feel about an hour after you eat it, let's you fine-tune and customize your eating lifestyle. If a food doesn't make me feel well, even if it's on my list of foods for my type, I avoid it. I am type A-. I'm suppose to be able to tolerate wheat and grains just fine and I cannot. So, I don't eat it because if I do, it quickly depletes my energy, and gives me abdominal cramping, bloating and gas. My body doesn't run well on it and is related to the mix of bacterial flora in my G/I tract and I suspect the chemicals used to force wheat to produce more yield, just before it's harvested. I hope this helps you. :)

look at any blood type diet you want, glyphosate is not listed as avoid. it is good that you pay attention and don't dogmatically adhere to a diet that harms you. i wish everyone payed attention as closely as you. thank you. proper balance of intestinal flora is critical to even be able to begin using type diets. i have similar wheat issues, nightshades are even worse for me. grass fed ghee and a few other things have restored my gut balance. there are also mold toxins associated with the presence of glyphosate. this only adds to the complex possibilities. be careful out there.

Look to your parents blood types. I'm pretty sure one of them is avoid for wheat. Your pH makes a big difference as well. My wife is B and unable to eat potatoes unless her pH is high. Her father is 0 and potatoes are avoid for him. Crazy stuff. :)
One of the biggest problems people have is they're not aware of what 'feeling good' is like. :) I recommend people stick to neutral and beneficial foods for a month, once the system is much cleaner, the effects of avoid foods are much greater, difficult to miss. :)
Here's the updated list from D'Adamo

Sounds like you're eating close to your blood type already. :) Check what you're eating against the list, might only have to cut out a food or two. :)
Chicken is pretty much lethal for the B blood type. It causes weight gain, blurred vision, headaches, lethargy and more.
