DESCRIPTION: This diet has made such a profound impact on my life. I am 28 and have suffered many health conditions such as chronic sinitus, lower abdominal discomfort, fatigue, depression. I spent most of my life just living with it and at about the age of 24 I started going to numerous doctors seeking help. Nothing ever came up and I continued to get sicker and catch every bug. I finally had allergy testing done and found I had no allergies and I was told I had a condintion called non-allergic eosinphilic rhinitis (basically they didn't know but hoped this would appease me to have an answer) they put me on numerous medications which eventually my body developed and immunity to and I was left with the alternative of having steriod shots in my nose every 3 months. I also found myself becoming more and more depressed, fatigued and wore out and was put on prozac, which helped a great deal, I had been on prozac for 4 1/2years. I saw a doctor regarding my lower abdominal pains and again was told nothing was wrong and they would give me medication to treat the pain. In addition I had continued to gain weight and was up to 220lbs and nothing I did made it go away. I finally tried what my doctor had suggested a low fat, high fiber diet, (I also suffered chronic constipation) 6 months I stayed on this diet and out of that 6 months I had only 1 month that I was not sick. A friend told me about Dr. Atkins diet and I was willing to try anything. His theory went against everything I had been taught but I tried. I was on the diet 2 weeks and lost 10 lbs and was feeling better. I continued the diet but was afraid of how unhealthy the diet was and found myself not sticking to it. In September my mother in law gave me your book and I was hooked. Every word I read made so much sense and I have been following your diet for a month. I am down to 195lbs, my sinus condition has cleared up, I have been able to link the problem to all corn products. I have been off of prozac for 1 month and feel great. The wheat causes me to feel fatigued, depressed, and it causes me to have difficulties concentrating. I also discovered that white potatoes cause the lower abdominal pains. I am so happy, I did it. I feel so great and I have not had any problems sticking to the foods I need to eat because the reactions I have to the foods now are so intense. I know instantly when I have eaten anything with corn products (cornstarch, corn syrup) my nose becomes a faucet. My body litteraly shuts down from a little wheat. Fact I was on vacation and had eaten quite a few meals with white potatoes (at the time I didn't know the effects) when I got back I had developed an ovarian cyst (another problem I have fought) I really wonder if it is not the result of the white potatoes. Potatoes have been a huge part of my diet. Your book has made me feel healthy again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart its nice to feel healthy again. I was feeling so old at 28. Thank you!!!!!! I look forward to any new information that comes out about Type O. Again I can't thank you enough for you research you have done. Because of your work I have accomplished eliminating all of my problems in one month and I have control over my health for the first time ever. God Bless
