Book Description

April 15, 2010

Dr. James D’Adamo burst onto the world of natural medicine in the 1970s with his revolutionary discovery of, and approach to, healing based on a person’s blood type.

Written in the infancy of America’s modern natural-healing movement, his first book, One Man’s Food . . . is someone else’s poison, detailed his unique, individual treatment method that correlated a person’s type of blood with diet, exercise, and spiritual practice.

Just An Ounce of Prevention . . . Is a Pound of Cure comes almost 30 years later, as people around the world have increasingly awakened to the efficacy of natural remedies . . . and at a time when the American health-care system is increasingly failing the public.

In this fascinating book, Dr. D’Adamo exhorts us to take responsibility for our own health and prevent chronic degenerative diseases using his newest discoveries, which has given him the opportunity to treat more than 50,000 patients. He explains which foods and exercises are right for each of us, what assets and liabilities we’re born with, and how our minds can work to better process information. This book contains Dr. D’Adamo’s most up-to-date and comprehensive teachings; and includes recipes, exercise regimens, and a panoply of natural therapies he recommends to the patients at his institute.

Just An Ounce of Prevention is the consummate statement on natural healing from this generation’s most original naturopath. As Dr. D’Adamo writes: “We are all here for a purpose, and we can only aspire to our physical and spiritual fulfillment when the body is healthy and the mind clear. Blood types are a Truth of Nature and, if followed, will provide a person with the physical and spiritual health that Nature has intended for them.”

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting theory, August 1, 2010
This review is from: Just An Ounce of Prevention.Is Worth a Pound of Cure: A Modern Guide to Healthful Living from the Originator of the Blood-Type Diet (Hardcover)
I bought Dr. D'Adamos book yesterday and read it in one sitting. I like his theory that emphasizes individuality in terms of blood type and how our bodies process food differently. I agree that not everyone is meant to be a vegetarian. Even Type A vegetarians shouldn't consume milk. I was a follower of his son's books for several years and did fairly well. The older D'Adamo stated that Rh negative blood types need to be even more strict with their diet. He said that Type A's need to work harder to keep their blood alkaline. His book reminded me that we are each unique and need to listen to our bodies and not fall into politically correct eating because it's trendy. This book has helped to shift my paradigm in this regard. What I would have liked to see included in the book is some case studies, research, or examples of people who have healed, but there's nothing. You may want to check the book out at your library or wait for it to come out in paperback. You can read it, take notes on the important stuff and take it back, because there's not that much information in the book.

This review is from: Just An Ounce of Prevention.Is Worth a Pound of Cure: A Modern Guide to Healthful Living from the Originator of the Blood-Type Diet (Hardcover)
I liked the book at first, but when i tried the diet he suggested it was detrimental to my health. I am a type O- bloodtype, and he suggests a rediculous amount of animal protien per day. I got headaches and joint pain from all the toxins in meat. He convieniently forgets to mention this crucial information and address other options such as pea, hemp and soy protien. Anyways, the information is informative, but his definate conclusions were shaky to me as he said they worked near 100% of the time. I have to admitt that it would cost a couple hundred $ a week for me to eat that much meat and very rare fresh vegetables. I would reccomend it as a reference for small changes and not reccomend his diet as strictly as he says. This is in a plan you have to incorporate as much as you can feel comfortable doing. I found it informative especially about ADHA/ADD, and the differences in blood type digestion.. However the prevention he reccomends is not optimal in my opinion.

I believe tha he is right on in his observation that the breakfast cereals kids love set them up for a crash during school and ADHD and diabetes to name a few symtoms of poor nutrition. plus alcohol is just sugars that also ruin your liver along with throwing off brain chemistry in large quantities and for extended periods... One is OK, three or more is selling out your future for a good time, in my opinion. Nutrition is the key to prevention but i would not reccomend this book as a comprehensive nutritional plannign guide. that info is all over the web an in more open sources for nutritional cures and diet therapy.

6.5/10*

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you believe your blood type determines how healthy you'll be?, December 24, 2011
This review is from: Just An Ounce of Prevention.Is Worth a Pound of Cure: A Modern Guide to Healthful Living from the Originator of the Blood-Type Diet (Hardcover)
Naturopathic physician and creator of The Blood Type Diet Dr. James D'Adamo penned this book Just An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure: A Modern Guide to Healthful Living from the Originator of the Blood-Type Diet that takes a look at how the principles of your blood type dictate your healthy lifestyle. There are skeptics to the notion that there is any relationship between your blood type and the kind of diet that is best for the individual. Read what Dr. D'Adamo has to share and decide for yourself! You'll discover why he tried to make everyone a vegetarian when he came out of medical school, what led him to look at blood types to help individualize diets, whether there is any real "hard evidence" science supporting the blood type diet, why he is attempting to treat the cause of the symptoms rather than the symptoms itself, why this is not a diet but rather a lifestyle change, why supplementation should be individualized for their specific blood type, whether he'd be interested in the NIH funding a study of blood type diets, why food addiction fights the body when we attempt to change, why most people are walking around with hypoglycemia, what universal foods that are not healthy for all blood types, why O's need protein and high-aerobic exercise since they are athletic, why A's need to avoid dairy and whole wheat and to do yoga because their the creative types, why B's make the best business people in the world, why AB's have qualities of both A's and B's, the role of H1 and A1 in the blood types, whether he's done a study looking at famous athletes and businessmen to see if their blood type matches his theory, and how he determines how strong a sublet blood type is. I'm still not completely convince of the blood type theory promoted by D'Adamo, but he certainly makes a strong case.
