Dear Mrsd,

Thanks for your good input.
I learn when I read your posts.

I have Dr. D'Adamo's blood type books. I am type O.

I can take supplements for some of the things you mention.
I already take Methylcobalamin b12 and Omega Brite fish oil. I had forgotten zinc but I some here that I used to take in addition to my multi vit.

I just looked up methionine and cysteine on Wikipedia. Thanks for telling me about them.

And eliminating fish? That is the worst of all! JMO.
Unfortunately, fish grosses me out. I imagine that all the waters (wild or farmed) are polluted. -- yeah, I know that that is not totally rational.

Thanks for the links.

I have not committed to this long term.
I'm going to try it for the rest of the summer and see what happens when school starts.
I'll re-evaluate then -- maybe try adding eggs and dairy.
