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."

About the Author

Dr. James L. D’Adamo, N.D. D.N.B, is the originator of the world-famous Blood Type Diet and director of the D’Adamo Institute for the Advancement of Natural Therapies. Trained in the United States, Germany, and Switzerland, Dr. D’Adamo revolutionized natural medicine more than 50 years ago with his discovery of the correlation between a person’s blood type and his or her dietary and exercise requirements. His landmark books, One Man’s Food . . . is someone else’s poison (1980) and The D’Adamo Diet (1989), rejected standardized approaches of treatment and passionately called for diagnosis and care based on the individual.Dr. D’Adamo began his practice in New York and has also worked in London, Montreal, Antwerp, and Chihuahua, Mexico, treating over 50,000 patients, including many celebrities. He currently works at offices in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Toronto, Canada, where he and his team of naturopathic specialists provide the most comprehensive natural health care in North America.

Preventative health care

I was most impressed with this way of approaching health, food choices and the ability to help ourselves be in better physical and mental health. I do believe there is a lot of truth in food choices not being one size fits all and that blood type is connected with ones individual metabolism. It is a must read for those seeking to help themselves make better health choices.

Cure vs Prevention

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2010

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.

A good baseline / reference book. I do believe there is truth in the ideas presented in this book. Everyone needs to determine what works best for them, could be all or a small part of the ideas presented.

Confusing!

I am still confused as to what nutrition plan I should follow. Should I follow the type o plan, or the Ob plan, or the O plan for hypoglycemia, because I am all of these. The info does not specifically state this

Disappointed

I had high hopes for this book as it came highly recommended but am very disappointed and have given it away straight away. If you are a fan of the blood type diet you might get some interesting information out of it and I am not convinced by this system and the science behind it.

I have severe osteorarthritis and I already had left shoulder arthroplasty and right hip replacement. A friend of mine, got me this book about 2 years ago and I have been following this diet since then.
To my surgeon surprise, my right hip does not need to be replaced as it was thought a year ago. The MRI shows less degeneration that it shows before.
Now, I fully recommend this book to my friends and relatives.
