This is a book that has long wanted me for friends, especially who suffer from allergies. Books that helped me escape from a sudden allergy attack.So the story, in November of 2008, I get allergic disease either where it is coming. The part that was attacked was the dear lips which I always keep it beautiful. When I woke up and found my lips swell, a fishy discharge, itching, and felt hot. Of course I do not know what the hell. At first I gave drugs canker sores. It turned out that this swelling does not go away, even worse. Then I consulted with a doctor who happened to be a friend my sister. She said it was allergies, and he provides a prescription drug and Molacort 0.75 and Interhistin to relieve allergy. And thank goodness it fits in my drug.
I became really curious about why these allergies can attack me, whereas before I was fine. Doctor also can not predict what happen with my body. So I experimented with many food the last time I ate it before allergy attack. And got eggs as a major cause allergy.
And everyone knows that some foods containing eggs, and most are my favorite food. Cake, chilli fried eggs, various types of fried foods, capcay, noodles, meatballs, and others containing eggs should be left.
I vow, I should be able to eat food as before. No matter eggs or anything that important kosher. I believe I can recover to normal. And began to search for information about this allergy, from cause to cure.
I found the book Blood Type Diet For Preventing and Treating Allergies written by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo at a leading bookstore in my town. This book contains an introduction about the allergy and its cause. Also of course there is a list of food and alloys suitable for treating allergic blood group.
Each blood type has different features in receiving contain of food. Will we find a different reaction from different types of blood group with the same kind of food. The different reactions and sensitivity is what causes the need for us to sort out our food according to blood type, so there are no adverse chemical reactions in our bodies. This is explained in the preface of this book.
Then there is also a quiz that measures the risk of allergies to various blood groups. This quiz gives different questions to each blood type.
Part 1 tell introduction on the dynamics of how allergies are allergic to attack humans. Apparently there are many factors that cause allergies appear. The main thing is because the body's inability to resist the load, be it from the environment and the condition of the body. Allergy is an alarm to remind us that the body needs to be rested and trained for healthy living. in the discussion of the dynamics also explain some form of allergy caused by environmental allergies or food.
Part 1 also explains the relationship between blood type and allergies. Allergic reaction turned out to come from antibodies and antigens from the body. Food may just be the enemy of our antibody. So there needs to be adjusted to prevent any chemical reactions in the body.
Last subsection of Section 1 discusses about how to fight allergies. Here presented a comparison between regular therapy with blood group therapy to combat allergies. Conclusions from this part is blood group therapy will be safer because it does not involve medicines, does not cause side effects, and of course healthy because it uses food as a healing tool.
Part 2 of this book presents a plan for each blood type. Each blood type has kind of food "super useful," "useful," "neutral: allowed frequent", "neutral: allowed occasional", "avoid". This decomposition is quite specific to different variants namely to daging2an foods including poultry, seafood, milk and eggs, oil, kacang2an, vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, herbal teas, and various types of beverages. Also adapula list periodically plan for this blood group therapy.
The last part of this book is the appendix. There are four subsections of the Appendix are various definitions for istilah2 in this book, many frequently asked questions related to allergies, multiple sources and treatment of allergy products, and food glossary.
For me this book quite helpful, although this book is also quite confusing. Confusing as this book is a translation book, which means some of the contents of this book is not so suitable with tropical climate, most foods are not available or the information recorded in this book. But at least there is food that could be a reference to this therapy.
After about three months in therapy, I was able to touch the food that contains eggs. And three months later, I was able to eat eggs as usual with no fear of my lip to swell again. And until now, I still live this healthy diet, limiting foods that should be avoided, so that this allergy does not recur. If any relapse, I now know what I should do. Thanks to Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo has written this book.
I recommend this book to you who suffer from allergies. Hopefully you can recover from allergies and could avoid future allergic to it later.
