General indications about digestion according the
blood groups
The organism has to get the right "fuel" - for his type of
blood group and for his secretor status. With the right
"fuel", metabolism can maintain a healthy balance in the
digestion system." (richtig leben, p.82)
Every single digestion procedure is a decisive one for the
blood group. Factors are from the beginning the smell of the
nutrition up to the end with excretion, above all when also
saliva, mucus and secretions contain blood group antigens
(secretors). And there is more: Also gland function and
stomach juice secretions are determined by the blood group
(richtig leben, p.83).
[So we have: digestion - gland function - juice secretions
determined by the blood groups].
Chemical procedures of digestion during chewing -
secretor's saliva is more active than saliva of
non-secretors
Dr. D'Adamo says:
<During chewing the nutrition this is the first shredding
process, but not only this: saliva is beginning to work with
it's enzymes, is splitting sugars and starch, and a little
part of it is really adapted by mucosa of the mouth into the
organism.
Non-secretors have a definitive disadvantage. Saliva of
secretors contains an essential greater variety and all in
all a higher level of carbohydrates than saliva of
non-secretors. Carbohydrate structures in mucins of the
saliva can agglutinate some articles of cuticles and
plaque.> (richtig leben, p.84)
(orig. German:
"Während die Nahrung durch Kauen zerkleinert wird,
beginnen im Speichel vorhandene Enzyme mit der Aufspaltung
von Zuckern und Stärken, und ein kleiner Teil davon wird
tatsächlich durch die Mundschleimhaut in den Organismus
aufgenommen.
Als Non-Sekretor sind Sie definitiv benachteiligt. Der
Speichel von Sekretoren enthält eine wesentlich grössere
Vielfalt und einen insgesamt höheren Anteil an
Kohlehydraten als jener von Non-Sekretoren. Die in den
Mucinen des Speichels vorkommenden Kohlehydratstrukturen
können einige Mundbakterien und auch Häutchen- und
Plaque-Partikel zusammenballen." (richtig leben, S.84)
Gastrointestinal tracts are DIFFERENT - chemical
procedures and digestion according to blood groups
Decisive is the digestion of proteins:
-- chymus is passing esophagus and then is reaching the
stomach
-- chymus is irritating the nerves of the stomach mucus
wall, and then the secretion of stomach juice begins
(consisting of water, hydrocloric acid and enzymes), with
many blood group antigens in it [with secretors]
-- hydrocloric acid is destroying germs in the nutrition and
therefore is protecting intestine from infections
-- when there is gastric pyrosis, this will destroy
esophagus by the hydrocloric acid in the chymus
-- in the stomach itself, stomach juice is mixed with the
chymus and gets a little bit alkaline by this
-- this provokes in the stomach the liberation of gastrin
and acid
-- the proteins are split now among others with the aid of
the enzyme pepsin (also called peptin), at the same time
acid level is rising
-- from a certain level of acid on, liberation of gastrin is
stopped and also secretion of stomach acid is stopped
-- when the stomach acid level is too low, then the peptin
remains inactive and the proteins of the food are not
proceeded well (richtig leben, p.87).
Digestion of blood group A and AB: always shortage
of stomach acid
Blood group A and AB have always a bacteria problem when
there is a shortage of stomach acid. They have an
"overwhelming growth of bacteria in the stomach and upper
intestine zone"
(orig. German:
"überschiessendes Bakterienwachstum im Bereich von Magen
und oberem Dünndarm",
and this is often a chronic problem (richtig leben, p.88).
Digestion of blood group A: inactive pepsin - hardly
any split of proteins
Blood group A has always got a problem with it's digestion:
According to investigations the A antigen in it's stomach
juice is connecting with the pepsin and is therefore
inactivating the split of proteins additionally (richtig
leben, p.87-88).
Chemical procedures of digestion in the intestine
Nutrients are reabsorbed from the chymus (richtig leben,
p.88).
Intestine: factor of
alkaline phosphatase for meat consumption: well with blood
group 0 and B, not with blood group A
Intestine of blood group 0 is excreting alkaline enzyme of
phosphatase in big quantities. Phosphatase is splitting
proteins of meat and fish well and therefore the split
proteins can be well proceeded (richtig leben, p.100). In
the same way phosphatase is splitting any fat of meat or
fish (richtig leben, p.101).
With blood group B alkaline phosphatase is available in
medium quantities, and with blood group A hardly. That's why
for blood group B a medium meat consumption is possible, but
with blood group A no one (richtig leben, p.100-101).
Alkaline enzyme phosphatase has got "mainly the task [...]
of splitting cholesterol and fats of food." Therefore
cholesterol levels with blood groups 0 and B are always low.
Above all secretors of blood group 0 and B have high
phosphatase levels, A and AB low ones. Therefore blood
groups A and AB can process less fats of food, and therefore
they also have higher cholesterol levels and a higher risk
for heart attacks (richtig leben, p.119).
Blood group A has got only few of enzyme phosphatase, and
this little quantity is just deactivated by the own A
antigens. Non-secretors have 20% of phosphatase of
secretors. And therefore the gastrointestinal tract of blood
group A is not at all made for meat consumption (richtig
leben, p.101).
Factor of alkaline
phosphatase for the adaption of calcium and for bone
fractures: well with blood group 0
Alkaline phosphatase is favoring not only the split of fat,
but is also favoring - according to indications - also the
adaption of calcium. Eventually it's because of the big
quantity of phosphatase in bodies of blood group 0 that they
have less bone fractures and less osteoporosis than other
blood groups (richtig leben, p.101).
Conclusion: different blood groups need different
food
The different proteins are processed in different ways
according to the blood groups, and when not the matching
food is eaten, then "this can make troubles with the
function of the digestion system, with your metabolism and
with the immune system." (richtig leben, p.88)
(orig. German:
Wenn nicht die passenden Nahrungsmittel gegessen werden,
"kann dies die Funktion Ihres Verdauungssystems, Ihren
Stoffwechsel und das Immunsystem beeinträchtigen."
(richtig leben, S.88)
Many lectins prefer certain sugar compounds and are
therefore matching to certain blood groups (richtig leben,
p.88). When lectins and blood groups do not match together,
so the proteins are not metabolized (richtig leben,
p.88-89).
Dr. D'Adamo says:
<Many lectins are specific to blood groups because they
prefer quite clearly certain sugar compounds and
automatically are matching to the antigen of one or the
other blood group. Because of this specific character
matching to certain blood groups, the lectins are connecting
to the glycoconjugate antigen of the (richtig leben, p.88)
preferred blood group. The rest of the blood group antigens
is absolutely untouched.> (richtig leben, p.89)
(orig. German:
"Viele Lektine sind insofern blutgruppenspezifisch, als
sie ganz eindeutig eine bestimmte Zuckerverbindung
bevorzugen und automatisch zum Antigen der einen oder
anderen Blutgruppe passen. Aufgrund dieser
blutgruppenspezifischen Eigenschaft heften sich die
Lektine an das Glykokonjugat-Antigen einer (richtig leben,
S.88) bevorzugten Blutgruppe, während die übrigen
Blutgruppen-Antigene völlig unbehelligt bleiben." (richtig
leben, S.89)
[Does anybody claim now that blood group nutrition would not
be important? We need a secretor test immediately for
optimizing our alimentation].
