Your blood group type can reveal your personality as well as bright and dark aspects of your personality. Lets
have a look that what blood types possess which kind of qualities for any person and which blood type is
compatible to another.
Blood Type O
Type Os are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they dont always finish what they start.
Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident.
Blood Type A
While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists)
that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type As are the
most artistic of the blood groups. They can beshy, are conscientious,
trustworthy, and sensitive.
Blood Type B
Goal oriented and strong minded, type Bs will start a task and
continue it until completed, and completed well. Type Bs are the
individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in
life.
Blood Type AB
Type ABs are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid.
While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.
Blood Type A
Best Traits: Conservative, introverted, reserved, patient and punctual. Perfectionists.
Worst Traits: Obsessive, stubborn, self conscious and uptight.
Famous As: George H. W. Bush, Ayumi Hamasaki, O.J. Simpson, Britney Spears, Alan Alda, Adolf Hitler, Lyndon
B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jet Li, Maki Nomiya, Rick James
Blood Type B
Best Traits: Creative, passionate, animal loving, optimistic, flexible and individualistic.
Worst Traits: Forgetful, irresponsible, and self-centered.
Famous Bs: Akira Kurosawa, Jack Nicholson, Luciano Pavarotti, Tom Selleck, Mia Farrow, Paul McCartney,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Vince Young

Worst Traits: Arrogant, vain, insensitive and ruthless.
Famous Os: Al Capone, Gerald Ford, Mikhail Gorbachev, John Gotti, Crystal Kay, Queen Elizabeth II, John
Lennon, Paul Newman, Elvis Presley, Ronald Reagan
Blood Type A Tend to be cooperative, sensitive, clever, passionateand smart. Often bottling up anxiety in order
to get along with others, they may hold in their emotions until they explode. Many are tense, impatient and unable
to sleep well. While they are capable of leadership positions, they may not take them because the stress is not
good for their tightly wired systems. In Japan many As are in research. They have roles in discovering more
about and refining science, economics, manufacturing, etc. Their research on microflora and other areas
ofmedicine is some of the best and most meticulous in the world. They are perfectionists to say the least. This
quality shows up in their perfecting electronics like TVs and also less expensive more efficient cars that were
originally created here in the US.
Blood type As tend to have more sensitive constitutions. Too much stress
weakens their immunity more quickly than other blood types. Low
stomach acid is common among blood type As even from birth, so
special care should be taken when eating animal proteins. Using
digestive enzymes, like Assist Dairy and Protein, along with consuming
fermented foods and drinks is really a must for As. It is not surprising to
me that fermented foods like Miso and Natto play an important role
in providing easily digested protein, in
the Japanese Diet. They also eat raw
fish which is much easierto digest
than cooked.
Blood Type B Blood type B individuals tend to be balanced: thoughtful like
As and yet ambitious like Os. They are empathetic, easily understanding
others points of view, yet often hesitating to challenge or confront.
Chameleon-like and flexible, they make good friends.
Blood Type AB Tend to be very charming and popular. They dont sweat
the small stuff and can be seen as spiritual and even at times a bit flaky.
Only about 2 to 5% of the population are blood type AB. There is never a dull
moment in a ABs life, so if you find one for a friend, consider yourself lucky!
Youll enjoy some exciting times together!
Like blood type As, ABs react to stress poorly. They are stronger and more
active than type As, but need to pay attention to stress levels so that they
dont compromise their immunity.
Sometimes it is difficult to be an AB. ABs dont like to fit in anyone elses
boxes. If they feel too confined, theyll break out of that box and do things
their own way. When it comes to food choices and AB must discover when
they are more B-like or A-like. For example,
dairy foods likemilk kefir can be excellent for them or not good at all.
Blood Type O Tend to be loners or leaders and areintuitive, focused, selfreliant and daring. They handle stress better than other blood types and have
strong immune systems, a well developed physique and a physically
activenature. Blood type Os tend to have sluggish blood flow and feel better with
vigorous exercise for about an hour each day.
So whats your blood type? Do you think its true?
In this article, I'll explore the history and significance of different blood types, their
possible evolutionary origins and purpose, as well as their significance when it comes to
diet and disease. Our interest is mainly in exploring the social and medical considerations
of your blood type and how you can use this information to improve your health.
Asian cultures, most notably Japanese, put much weight on the acquisition of personality
traits through an individual's Blood Type. Type A is considered petty, selfish, bearing
grudges and suppressing anger yet romantic; Type B are considered carefree but prone
to random anger and nervousness; Type O are athletic, inquisitive, goal oriented and like
to talk to vent their feelings.
This humorous video [below] describes the belief, in Japan, that blood types have
distinct personality traits.
In some reports on-line I've read where candidates who otherwise were qualified for a
particular job were refused because the employer was looking for a "different blood
type".
Because certain blood types are concentrated in different geographic regions of the
world, these personality traits could more likely represent varied cultures and
adaptations to different environments. This is an area of research which has not been
seriously explored.
common.
As we'll see later, type O is considered the original blood flowing in both Neandertal and Cro-Magnon
primates.
A great deal of peer reviewed literature exists on the correlation between blood types
and specific diseases. Knowing your blood type and the type of illnesses associated with
it could potentially be beneficial when considering the last claim: that certain foods are
either good or bad. We'll come back to this diet theory, but first lets look at a brief
history of blood types and examine the reports of various illnesses.
down the Pope's throat. The experiment was a total failure and somehow all four people
died.
Less than two hundred years passed before the second series of documented
transfusions were performed. In 1667 the blood of sheep and cattle was transfused into
a variety of patients by the French physician, Jean-Baptiste Denys. A little animal blood
seemed to do no harm, but repeated and larger doses were deadly. Many people died
and the procedure was banned in 1670.
If we leave the "human" element out of it, the first successful transfusion was actually
made in 1665 between two dogs. Christian Zagado had perfected a closed, airtight
system with tubes that eliminated clotting and embolisms. A physician named Lower
transfused the dogs in the presence of the French Royal Society using Zagado's system.
"Many of his colleagues were present. towards the end of February 1665
he selected one dog of medium size, opened its jugular vein, and drew
off blood, until... its strength was nearly gone . Then, to make up for the
great loss of this dog by the blood of a second, I introduced blood from
the cervical artery of a fairly large mastiff, which had been fastened
alongside the first, until this latter animal showed... it was overfilled...

"The results however suggest the presence of the human O01 allele
already in the common ancestor of Neandertals and modern humans and
thereby confirming an emergence of the O01 allele more than 1 million
years ago predating the divergence of the modern human and
Neandertal populations."[ibid]
DNA from Cro-Magnon and chimpanzie specimens showed type O and A, a mutation that
proved adventageous because of some environmental challenges or infestations.
Type B is an even later adaptation which is totally absent in the ape world. Most recent is
type AB which came about because of interbreeding of A and B types.
If we look at how the original type O humans are faring in today's modern world we can
reliably say that they have done very well.
Type O has the highest rate of Peptic Ulcers and Angina Pectoris... but
Type O has the lowest rate of Pancreatic Cancer, Cardiac Infarctions, and Cardiac
Ischemia than the other groups
So nature got it right the first time. The Peptic Ulcers are caused by stomach acid that
eats away the mucus coating, mostly in the duodenim, where the stomach empties into
the intestines. It's believed that some of this damage is caused by the over production of
stomach acids, due to either stress or by the activity of a bacterium that thrives in such
an environment, called Heliobacter Pylori.
Type B's Achille's heel is Type 1 Diabetes and, mysteriously, esophageal and
gastric cancer in a particular province in China (but nowhere else) [1].
Even with our relatively unhealthy diets, type O individuals seem to be doing something
right -- for them. The higher incidence of ulcers and chest pains seems more stress
related and that would give some credence to the psychological profiling we mentioned
at the beginning of this article.
Type B
The B group is prone to Type 1 diabetes. The current theoretical models for this type of
diabetes is the destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas caused by some
local environmental condition. It has been shown that identical twins, who share the
same genome, only share this disease 30% to 50% of the time. Also, migrating
populations contract the disease at the same rate as their host country. A
virus,Coxsackie of the rubella family, is suspected.
Some researchers believe the autoimmune response is influenced by antibodies against
cow's milk proteins.[15] But the evidence has never been conclusive. Giving children
2000 IU of Vitamin D during their first year of life is associated with reduced risk of type
1 diabetes, though the causal relationship is obscure.[16] Children with antibodies to
beta cell proteins (i.e. at early stages of an immune reaction to them) but no overt
diabetes, and treated with vitamin B3 (niacin), had less than half the diabetes onset
incidence in a seven-year time span than did the general population, and an even lower
incidence relative to those with antibodies as above, but who received no vitamin B3.
[17]
So, although there may be a genetic component linking type B blood with Type 1
Diabetes, there also appears to be a positive response to Vitamin-D and B3 (niacin).
Diets rich in these vitamins, plus sunlight exposure, would appear to be beneficial as
supplements to a type B diet.
Type A
You will notice that I saved type A for last. With propensities for an assortment of
diseases effecting the heart, digestive and endocrine system, this blood type seems most
vulnerable to modern diets. Type Apeople were originally vegans, or at the very least
omnivors. The obvious difference is that today's food is often not fresh and is processed
with preservatives and other chemicals to prolong its shelf life and increase profitability.
These trace amounts of un-natural substances effect all blood types, but type As clearly
demonstrate the toxicity of prolonged exposure.
Type AB
This type of blood can suffer from all of the maladies of Type A. Stastically, most
research has been conducted on types O and A and it is generally assumed that the
detrimental effects are similar to A but not as severe.
After the ABO blood types were understood and utilized, some fatal reactions to matched
blood was still occurring. Karl Landsteiner discovered the second most important factor
which he called the Rhesus Factor. The genes for this antibody have been traced all the
way back to early primates. People who have this antibody are called Rh+ and make up
about 85% of the modern human population. The remaining 15% who lack the antibody
are Rh-.
The argument is often made that people who are Rh- are a recent mutation, well after
both Cro-Magnon and Neandertals and have suggested that they are alien hybrids,
descendants from Atlantis or even a totally different (albeit similar) species from another
world. A more scientific theory is offered below:
that Rh- individuals are actually a different species (or hybrid) since no other animal
rejects its own offspring except mules, which are a hybrid donkey-horse.
Here's a brief video about Rh-negative people around the world:
A Warning...
For certain their is sound scientific evidence, undisputed, that certain diseases appear
more frequently in certain blood types. Beyond that solid observation, the etherial world
of special fad diets can waste time and money. YouTube has many videos claiming that
certain foods should or should not be consumed by various blood types. Usually, after a
brief introduction, the video transforms into a sales tool for a book or CD. You don't need
that.
Knowing your blood type gives you a statistical window to how others of your type are
dealing with the world today. You can learn by this and avoid foods that are known to
contribute to these particular illnesses, paying attention to any family history that may
predispose you to getting ill. In general, all blood types are susceptible to the
environmental toxins in our food. We were not evolved to eat un-natural chemicals or
processed food.
Eat wise.
