Michael, ... While most people support the aims of Make Poverty History, I think we must face facts: as a campaign it is essentially a complete failure. There...
Hi Mike! I would like to post the email i have just sent to Tam Fry, on the CHEAL site. Having now read Pete's entry - thanks Pete for this - I want to also ...
Hi Felicity, Unless you are blood type A then you'll not be as healthy as you could be on a vegetarian diet. Have you looked at www.dadamo.com and his books...
Hi Felicity, ... Thank you for your post too! I'm sure you're right that it's a complex and sensitive problem; probably this is why the government's campaigns...
Hi Joyce, ... If I click "The Science" I get a list of articles about human biology, but none of them seem relevant to the Blood Type Diet. One looks as...
Hi Pete, thanks for your very positive reply AND for hearing what I'm trying to say! ... Interestingly, other people in my family have had the same experience...
Hi Joyce, thanks for your post. This is my second go at replying as the first disappeared into the ether as my computer died! Yes, am familiar with his ideas....
Hi Flick and Pete, BT diet is really a misnomer - it isn't really about eating to lose weight, though that is usually what happens when you only eat foods ...
Many thanks, Pete, Flick and Joyce for your thought-provoking contributions on this topic. I would like to respond to your requests to hear other people's ...
Hi Flick, ... I'm not sure I understand this completely. Are you saying that genes influence thought patterns, so they might make various people in my family...
Hi Joyce, ... Fair enough. Weight loss seems to be one of the diet's selling points, though. If I click "Blood Type Diet" on the front page of dadamo.com, I...
Thanks for your post, Pete, and insights into the genetic aspects of body mass. When Flick wrote "the genes are indeed effected by patterns in the family...

We are too acidic!!!!! Almost everything the modern diet includes is acidic. This is why we are so obese. If we could raise the pH of our body, then our body...
The government advice about taking regular exercise (I think they currently say 5 x 30 mins per week) is based on sound research, but as Pete has pointed out,...
I haven't seen you mention so far the influence of psychology on our eating habits. The psychoanalyst Melanie Klein pioneered the psychology of breastfeeding...
That's just it. Exercise needs to mean something, for me anyway. I go running a little with Pete because it's fun to run with someone else.. I go for a walk...

Hi again Mike I start work again tomorrow and hope I will be able to keep up this level of reply at that point as it's really interesting! I love what you have...
Hello Flick and Linda, I couldn't agree with you more. Psychology has to play a large part in how people perceive food. A lot of it i'm sure, could be traced...
Hi Karaionizes, ... It's quite easy to raise the pH of your body temporarily, though I wouldn't recommend trying it. Just breathe very rapidly for a little...

Hi Mike, ... I think for me it is about self-image. Having exercised regularly, I want to think of myself as the kind of person who exercises regularly. If I...
Hi Flick, ... I find that exercise helps with stress and restlessness. If I am suffering from either, I tend to do a good running time! To a certain extent,...
