Dedication A s I better understand the role genetics play in my life, I am humbled by the fact that I am only a representative of something much greater. Just as God has seen fit to extend His grace to me for spiritual life, He has also provided me with a genetic foundation for physical life. I am thankful to my parents, Joe and Helen, for passing on to me their genetics and the understanding of who my Creator is. My father has passed on to where the true meaning of life dwells, and my mother is here, still cheering me on. Thanks, folks, for giving to me.

I love you. Dont let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and no longer enjoy living. ECCLESIASTES 12:1, NLT Acknowledgments I am eternally thankful to Lori, my wife. It has been her continued support and extra push that have helped me to see this work completed. You are the truest example of what every man needs most in life.

I love you, babe. I want to thank the entire staff at Strang Communications and especially the Siloam health imprint for their support, vision, and expertise in making this book a success. I am appreciative for the creative and talented minds of all the team members that have made this work interactive. A special thanks goes to the editorial team at Siloam for their constant input, steady hand, and endless hours of editing and supervising, making this work enjoyable. I am grateful to Maria Gamb for her involvement in the dietary portion. Her expertise in matching and mixing the food groups, menus, and recipes for each blood type is greatly appreciated.

I appreciate those pioneers, such as Drs. James and Peter DAdamo, who preceded me in revealing the blood-type diet theory. I thank those who have benefited by eating food compatible to their blood type and exercising according to their body genetics and have shared their testimonials in this book. Lastly, but most importantly, I thank God, my Creator, who allows me the privilege of passing on the treasure of good health body, soul, and spiritto my fellow man. Contents TABLE OF CHARTS P rior to writing the first version of this book, I believed the concept or theory that linked ones blood type to diet and disease, illness, reaching ones ideal weight for life, and so forth might take some time before it would catch on. Well, for over twelve years of application both personally and professionally, I can now say that the theory for making proper food selections is now evidence-based.

Since I wrote the first version of this book, I cannot count the many people who have told me they improved their lives by applying the information it contains and changing their lifestyles. Many have said they experienced significant drops in their cholesterol and blood pressure readings. Others are saving hundreds of dollars on monthly medication costs because they have been able to reduce and/or completely eliminate taking medications. And they are delighted with the improvement in the way they are feeling. People have shared how they no longer are experiencing digestive disorders and associated discomfortall because they started eating for their blood type and made other healthy lifestyle changes. In addition to making food selections that are compatible to your blood type for improved illness profiles, increased energy levels, and help in reaching your ideal weight for life, I have included some additional information in this book that further unlocks the secrets to owning natural health and keeping weight off for life.

It is common knowledge as well as proven evidence that good health starts from inside. That being the case, I have added a chapter to this revised and expanded edition that addresses in great detail the value and importance of colon cleansing and detoxification for colon health and functionality as it correlates to weight loss and eliminating disease. Life is precious and was given as a gift to youfree of charge. What you do with this extraordinary gift has direct consequences on every aspect of your life. New Help for Weight Loss In addition to all the positive feedback I receive via e-mail, phone calls, and mailings from those who have benefited by following the protocol outlined in my book, many people have expressed their continued concern for losing weight. Many have lost weight naturally by following the principles in this book, but others, perhaps like yourself, still need more help to achieve their weight-loss goals. Did you know that one in three American adults (over 58 million) aged twenty through seventy-four is overweight? Due to the many requests of my readers, along with my personal interest in helping people lose weight and keep it off, I have enhanced in this revised edition the chapter dedicated to losing weight, helping you to reach your ideal weight for life.
