Dale, that's very curious. I actually suffered for over a year with the severe congestion and asthma, going to ENT specialists, respirologists, etc., till finally a friend suggested a naturopath.
She in turn told me that I had candida and got me on grapefruit seed extract and acidophilus. Withing ten days, I was fantastic, and within six weeks, had lost 35 lbs and was the healthiest I had ever been. I was off all sugars, etc at that time, in order to rid myself of the cause.
My health food store had types of fresh trail mix that corresponded to blood types. I'm B-, and bought the 'right type' for me, but didn't really think much about it. I remember him mentioning that book as well.
I was single at the time, and met my fabulous husband not long after that...it was easy since I lost all that weight
I gradually fell back into my not so healthy ways...back to sweets, etc. A very restricted diet is not easy especially when dating!
So maybe I need to take a second look at that. I had gotten back on probiotics after the antibiotics with the pneumonia, but it just isn't enough.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and for slogging through my much too long post. Editing was never my strong point
