Medical Strategies The Blood Type Connection

BY NOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE STRONG LINK BE- tween your blood type and your health. I hope you are also beginning to see that you can exert meaningful control, even when you have a susceptibility to a certain condition. Your Blood Type Plan is the cornerstone to a lifetime of health.

In the next three chapters, we will talk in more detail about the specific medical issues that concern everyone, and how you can use your blood type information to make the best choices for your health. We begin with the drugs and treatments that are commonplace in modern life.

Drugs have been used as medicine for thousands of years. When a shaman or witch doctor brewed a potion, that potion had not only medical authority, but spiritual power. Although the infusion was often malodorous and vile, it contained magic, and the patient would gladly drink the bitter brew in hope of a cure.

Not that much has changed.

Today physicians overprescribe medications, and we overuse them. It’s a serious problem. Yet unlike other naturopaths who reject the entire modern pharmacopoeia, I believe we must take a more reasoned and flexible point of view. Most medical preparations are designed to be effective on a broad range of the population, and should be used to treat the most severe and potentially dangerous conditions.

But let us also keep medication in perspective: All drugs are poisons. The good drugs that man has discovered over the centuries are selective poisons. Many others are broader, less selective poisons. An excellent example of the latter is the diffuse arsenal of drugs used by oncologists for chemotherapy. In the process of destroying cancerous cells, many of these drugs indiscriminately attack healthy cells as well. (It is not my intention to vilify oncologists. This is just the state of the art.)

The good news is that chemotherapy sometimes works. The bad news is that sometimes chemotherapy works, but the patient dies of complications related to the treatment. It’s a terrible conundrum.

Modern science has presented the medical community with a bewildering array of medications, and all of them are being prescribed by well-meaning physicians worldwide. But have we been careful enough in our use of antibiotics and vaccines? How do you know which medications are best for you, for your family, for your children?

Again, blood type holds the answer.
