> FluffMama thanks this explains why I as a type A suffer from Gad. So my body hasn't been "lying" to respond to benzodiazapines? What else would you suggest? I respond to bike riding since can no longer run. Also eat dark chocolate, drink iced green tea. Reason for that is lost taste and smell 7 years ago. Also hypothyroid and Mother deceased from Addison's disease. Phillipa This is interesting how much fact is in this article or still just speculation?
This research is very scientific and has been around for close to 10 years and the Doctor wrote a book called "Eat Right for your Blood Type" and another one called "Live Right for your Blood Type" and here is a link that tells more about your blood type - type A.

Now I want to clarify, even though this helps us understand why we get symptoms, and how diet and supplements can help some of them, it doesn't mean we aren't going to be helped from Benzos and other standard medications. I made that mistake - I dumped my Lamictal and Seroquel down the toilet after reading these books and thought I could just survive by eating right, exercise and taking supplements. WRONG! Don't feel badly about being on medications! I personally need more than just a good diet and herbs. But what I'm doing is adding a supplement that Dr. D'Admao recommends for my Blood Type (O) to help me with stress. He recommends a different supplement for your Blood Type(A) called Cortiguard, which you will see at the bottom of the page about your blood type. Obviously it's a good idea to show the ingredients to your Psychiatrist first to see if there are potentially any interactions, although I didn't.
I hope nobody thinks I am saying this is a cure - it is just one insight into why some of us feel the way we do and respond the way we do. I am still on Lithium, Lamictal, Effexor XR and Seroquel. But I also take a couple of Dr. D'adamo's supplements for Type O blood and try to avoid the foods he recommends, and get the strenuous exercise Type O people need. I'm also in therapy and I still struggle. But at least this Blood Type stuff can give us pointers.
