I'm wondering if any of you who have had success with whey protein powder are Type O. It would be useful to know if I'm shooting myself in the foot. LaRue Hi LaRue, From the responses I've seen here, it seems there are a lot of us with Type O blood.  I am O+.   I took the denatured whey protein and did not see any improvements.  But then I was all ready highly functional (about 80-90% of my pre-CFS life) so my glutathione levels are probably not as deficient as those PWCs who are sicker.

  I just had a disconcerting thought about the whey protein    supplement I've just started and D'Amo's blood type diet.   I'm a Type O. Since the blood type  diet identifies whey   as something to be avoided by Type O's, I'm  wondering   if any of you who have had success with whey protein   powder are Type O. It would be useful to know if I'm   shooting myself in the foot. LaRue, I'm type O and have no qualms about starting the whey treatment.  I know that a lot of people are very interested in the Blood type diet right now, but when I read D'Amato's reasoning behind it, I felt he made an awful lot of leaps in logic to get to his conclusions.  Some of the studies he quotes are not very well-supported or replicated, and in others, he takes tendencies or marginal resultsand cites them as facts.   I suspect that the primary impact of teh book is simply that people who follow it are paying attention to eating well. Speaking for myself, the diet he recommends for type O is one that I don't do well on at all, so I decided that I would trust my own experience of what kind of diet I need.  I happen to be both allergic to milk and lactose intolerant so have avoided dairy products of all sorts for a long time. However, the benefits that so many are experiencing from using the undenatured whey products has convinced me that they are worth trying.  I have my order in. Dayle Ann

Thanks, Andrea. I'm looking for a copy now. LaRue
