Hello Libby,
I am very new also to BTD, blood type diet. Welcome.
“Brain thing” is where I was having more trouble accessing
particular vocabulary in my mind- I think it is clearing up.
Probably detox from starchy carbs.
“Placebo effect” is a researcher’s term for people feeling better no
matter what diet change they make or take (in the case of
medication). Placebo often refers to a sugar pill given to control
groups during research. Placebo usually hits about 30% of folks in a
double blind study.
I used that term because I am feeling sooooo good and sooo much
energy that I was unsure if it was a head trip, placebo-effect,
because of so many tangible changes I’ve made. I said it less than
seriously because it was mostly a passing thought, but those
thoughts often need addressing “Taking all thoughts captive…” so

the false thoughts do not gain power.
Again welcome. Love to hear more about you and yours.
Joy

Don, Thanks for hsaring your research. I am pretty sure the bar
thing will not be a big focus, but thusfar, i am finding having a
plan B in place helps alot.

The improvement in my health after 30 days was incredible for me but I was
very sick at the time I started. I had the brain thing when I quit smoking.
