intro - Sue
hey and hello!… I’m sooo very glad to of found you!
my name is Sue, and I live in British Columbia, Canada.
I read Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s book several years ago, when it first came
out.
I was vegan for a few months in the early 90’s, and then a whole
foods vegetarian for almost 4 years. At this time I had 2 very young
children and one pre-adolescent. I gained weight, got pre-menopausal
and had severe soft tissue problems. I also have carnivore animals
who I fed/feed a raw diet. So this meant I had to go to the local
slaughter house and buy raw animal parts.
It was extremely hard, I was starting to crave meat alot. I told my
naturopath, and he said it is quite normal, especially because I
am “type O”, and to read the book “Eat Right 4 Your Type”…
anyways, to make a reeeaaaly long story short… I read the book, and
felt like I “was going home”… it made soooo much sense to me…
my daughter has just turned 15 yrs old. She has gained some extra
weight in the last couple of years due to junk food. She asked me if
I had a good diet remedy or book to read. She has lost about 10 - 15
lbs in the last couple of months and says she feels so much better..
anyways, I’m glad to be here, and thankyou

It was so wonderful to read a book that reinforced the way I felt. I had
always felt guilty or stupid because I craved red meat since all of the diets
and
health mags said fish or chicken. I started the diet and never looked back.
It made such good sense.
I still read about saturated fats causing clogged arteries even though recent
studies prove otherwise.

Hi, Sue!
Welcome to the ER List! I hope you find us to be very helpful.
Kombucha is not listed in Dr. D’s food lists, but I’m going to stick my
neck out and say that, since it is a vinegar, and vinegar is an Avoid for
Os (except for apple cider vinegar), I would leave it alone. Especially if
you have problems with candida, molds, etc., it is best Avoided. I hope
this doesn’t spoil your day.

I used to brew Kombucha and I’ll say it’s definately a vinegar and
probably will test as an avoid. The first glass I had of the stuff,
my body went “ahhhhhh!” so I took my friend’s offer of a sponge and
began brewing my own. After a couple of weeks, though, my body was
not saying “ahhh” anymore and started saying “ewww”. I began
drinking less and less, and my poor Kombucha sponge died of neglect.
