A Diet for RH Negative

Tuesday, June 17, 2014 0:01

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

Vatic Note: This was very interesting since I have one allele that is RH neg, so my food choices do impact me. Up until recently I did not have allergies of any kind to either food, or pollen, but lately I have, so now I am trying to find out more.

I have read the food or diet for “blood types”, such as O, A, B and AB, but this is the first article I have come across about food diets based on the RH factor. That in combination with the blood types can solve so many of our problems just by changing our diet.

This is well worth the read along with his suggested reading for the diets for blood types as well. The two together can help us eliminate a lot of unexplained suffering that some of us go through, so its well worth the effort here. You read and decide.

The rhesus, or Rh, factor is a protein that is present on the surface of most people's red blood cells. According to the Nemours Foundation, about 85 percent of people are Rh positive. The Rh negative diet is largely the product of work by Dr. Laura Power, creator of the Biotype Diets.

According to Dr. Power, Rh negative blood, the red blood cells of which are without the Rh factor, developed only among the isolated communities of the French and Spanish Pyrenees and have the highest propensity for food allergies, necessitating a special diet.

Identification

The Rh negative diet is based on the other major classification of your blood, O, A or B. Dr. Power's Biotype Diets are designed primarily for these more common blood types. If you choose to develop your diet around your blood type, you should begin by focusing on your ABO blood type. In addition to the Biotype Diets, you might also refer to the D'Adamo Institute's blood type diets.

Biotype Rh-negative is a Basque biotype. This type has inherited a Basque gene for blood type Rh-negative from ancient ancestors in the Pyrenees Mountains of France and Spain. Their ancestors adapted to their specific ecosystem over long periods of time in isolation, and modern Rh-negatives have inherited those adaptations.

They fare best with a temperate hunter-gatherer diet of Western European foods, such as meats, poultry, seafood, roots, tubers, and European fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.

The Biotype Research shows that blood type Rh-negative has more IgE allergies than Rh-positive. In fact, Rh-neg has the highest rate of immediate allergies of all blood types.

The graph above is an example. This biotype especially reacts to nuts and beans, but also to eggs, some meats, gluten grains and nightshades, as shown below.

Their worst allergen is peanuts, a native American food. IgE Scores of 500-750 are mild, 750-1000 are moderate, and 1000-1250 denote strong allergies.

Blood type Rh-negative also displays delayed allergies, including: strong IgG allergens, and some T-cell allergens. (Not shown.) For more on this type, see the Biotype Diets book.
Features

According to Dr. Power, the evolution of the Rh negative blood in Western Europe explains why the blood type fares best with Western European foods.

Within the directives of the ABO blood type diet, Rh negative individuals should eat a variety of meats, poultry, seafood, European fruits and vegetables, roots, tubers and seeds.

But, in addition to the limitations imposed by the ABO blood type, Rh negative individuals should also avoid certain foods in these categories to which they may be allergic or hypersensitive.

Considerations

In a study published in a 2007 issue of the “Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine,” Dr. Power described the results of her experiments on allergic responses to foods based on blood type. According to the article, the results did in fact show responses patterned according to blood type, vindicating the blood type diet approach. Rh negative blood reacted most severely with eggs, milk, cheese, nuts, beans and gluten. It was also consistently among the top producers of immunoglobulin E (IgE).

Warnings

Dr. Powers' findings regarding IgE reflect the fact that individuals with Rh negative blood are more likely to have true food allergies. According to Medline Plus, true food allergies, in which the body produces an immune response against molecules in certain foods, are relatively rare–they affect less than 1 percent of the American population.

The production of IgE antibodies in particular are responsible for primary food allergy symptoms. Rh negative blood types had the most severe response to peanuts, suggesting a propensity for peanut allergy. Rh factor negative is also hypersensitive to beans.

Theories/Speculation

In addition to ABO blood types, you may be interested in learning more about your genotype. Dr. Peter D'Adamo, a pioneer in blood type diets, also developed a parallel diet system based on genetic type rather than blood type.

According to Dr. Tom Greenfield, a UK physician using the D'Adamo approaches to diet, Rh negative individuals should make specific adjustments to their ABO diet, and might have entirely different diets based on their genotype.

Greenfield quotes D'Adamo as recommending fewer grains for all Rh negative individuals, fewer fruits for A negative and more protein for B and O negative individuals.
