Eating right for your blood type


Lzk

Recommended Posts

Anyone heard of this? I’m extremely interested. Today I was searching online and in a forum a girl posted about constant obs. Someone replied maybe she has type o blood type and that’s why there’s more obs. Since I’m  o blood type and am having constant obs, I googled that in particular with no luck but I also googled supplements and immune boosters for my blood type. This has me curious... maybe certain immune boosters are better and work better for certain blood types. Just like eating certain foods are better for certain blood types.

Interesting post!!! :)

Maybe worth researching more. I don't know if blood type affects hsv, but it definitely affects other diseases (cancers, heart disease, diabetes, even malaria).

I had non stop constant OBs; I'm type B. Everything I've read puts O types at having generally better immune systems and decreased risks in most diseases. 

But definitely would be interesting to research. 

I have heard of getting blood analyzed to see if there are certain foods that you're individually sensitive to. Wondering if those analysis have to do with blood type?

Well then what the heck is going on with me?! Lolololol

Seriously, Right? Lol. I think most of us with constant OBs or any not typical complications ask that same question everyday!! 

I wish I knew why my body reacted the way it did to hsv.

In all seriousness, the only information I've found said it's the virus not the individual. Severity and frequency of outbreaks is determined by the speed of the virus (so fast it evades Tcells more outbreaks). And complications (very rare) are the speed and distance traveled in CNS.

I read that on nih.gov. It made sense, I don't know if it made me feel any better or not. ;)

They're your immune system's memory cells. When a nasty little intruder invades the body, T cells remember the microbe, to prevent the intruder from causing illnesses after first exposure. They work great against most bacterias and the viruses that cause common colds and flus, but not so great at sneakier viruses that have evolved to evade them, like hsv2

Best and simplest example of how they work was given in my first microbiology class. If I go to another country and drink their water, I might get sick due to exposure to a strain of E coli my body has never met before. Initial exposure would lead to bad diarrhea. If I moved to that country and drank the water again, I've already been exposed to that microbe, T cells remember it, and immune system fights it off before it even gets the chance to make me sick. Therefore, I'm safe to drink their water.

Hope that makes sense.

Correct!! The virus travels faster than the T Cells. I'm honestly not sure how to speed them up. 

I'm in the middle of moving across the country. If my medical text books weren't packed in boxes already, I would dig into them... ;)

(I am not a doctor. Not yet anyways :) )

I found boosting my immune system with increased vitamin C,  zinc, echinacea, and dandilion root helped a little. 

In the herpes cure zone section under managing outbreaks and pain relief, I posted links to studies done on the treatment I use that works for me.

Been outbreak free for 2 yrs from boosting immune system in general and using neem capsules and neem oil. (Sorry, I mention it so much, but it's because I am sincerely shocked with results)!!! :D

***herpes treatment zone***

Not herpes cure zone.

Not correct wording. 

There is no cure for herpes.

I can find you an example of how cancer hides in normal cells so it is viewed by the immune system as a good guy. A natropathic doc looks at your blood under a microscope. My siblings T-cells were traveling very slowly( cancer)! There was thin, cat hair like strands in the blood. It is inflammation. Let me see if I can get a video. The idea was to eat, drink, and take supplements to build the immunity

Yeah, that would be interesting. 

I saw a statistic at one of my doctor's offices that said like at least 67% of all cancers are linked to nutrition/diet. I read that thinking, it has to higher than that. 

I constantly tell people, if you're eating the gmo, chemical-filled crap sold on the grocery store shelves (especially in America) and at the chain restaurants, it's not a matter of if you get cancer, it's a matter of when you get cancer! 

IMO, our foods here keep the population sick with weakened immune systems. (Of course, some cases are other factors too, like microwaves, the pollutants we breathe in on daily basis, genetics, etc).

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.
