Do you know your blood type? If so, what is it?

A-. I remember typing it in bio class.

O+

This wasn't my survey either. Ugh.

B Positive

O+ I think...

O+

It seems like I've answered this one recently.

B negative.

O positive

I'm not 100% sure I'm A+, but that is what I'm supposed to be.

A positive

I checked AB+, only 95% sure. First step to not knowing; not caring.

there was a band named 'O positive', that's how I remember. ...but, I might be 0- ... sometimes I'm not sure. I think I have a blood donor card in my wallet that says, but my wallet is in the other room and my cat is on my lap right now.

Sure you're not thinking of the band "Typo O Negative"?

I can't say for sure what bill means but yes there was in fact a local band called "O Positive"

I just checked my blood donor card. I am indeed O+. I think O- is the 'perfect donor' (or something like that).

I had to change my vote
I am O positive

I wish I had a cat on my lap.

*meow*
puuuurrrrrrrrrrrr

nice kitty

yes, HIV positive


What that funny?

I'm O-.I changed my vote from I don't know cos I just went and asked. My mum is encouraging me to give blood like she does cos our blood is compatible with any donor. I will donate when I am old enough.

Universal donor, I'm pretty sure it's called.

that's right

nope

I didn't realize that mine was rare... maybe it is only rare at Survey Central.

Found this.. don't know how accurate it is.

That correlates fairly well with the survey's results.

Cool.

It is red. It clots pretty quick. Any further info can be found at my physician's website.

Hey, that link's broken!

Yeah, I think he was shut down by the Medical Ethics Committee for violations of patient confidentiality.

.com's are going out of business all over the place!
I'm so glad that SC is a .org!

Those MEC folks are such anal-retentive rule-followers! They must all be proctologists...

It's on a card in my wallet. I don't need to know it, so I don't.

A+

I'm either A,B or AB. I'm certainly not O although I *may* carry the O gene. My dad is A and my mum is AB but I don't know whether my dad is AA or AO.

Many people may not think it is important to know their blood types. I started to pursue this question, when I started to have health issues. Knowing your blood type, and your parents blood type, can possibly help you avoid some poor health problems.

STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND MEDICAL RISKS FOR THE DIFFERENT BLOOD TYPES

TYPE O

Strengths - - - -

- Hardy digestive tracts,
- Strong immune system,
-Natural defenses against infections,
- System designed for efficient metabolism and preservation of nutrients.

Weaknesses - - -

-Intolerant to new dietary, environment conditions
- Immune system can be overactive and attack itself

Medical risks - - -

-Blood- clotting disorders
-Inflammatory diseases - arthritis
-Low thyroid production
-Ulcers
-Allergies

TYPE A

Strengths - -

-Adapts well to dietary and environmental changes
-Immune system preserves and metabolizes nutrients more easily

Weaknesses - -

-Sensitive digestive tract
-Vulnerable immune system, open to microbial invasion

Medical Risks - -

-Heart disease
-Cancer
-Anemia
-Liver and gallbladder disorders
-Type 1 diabetes

TYPE B

Strengths - -

-Strong immune system
-Versatile adaptation to dietary and environmental changes
-Balanced nervous system

Weaknesses - -

-No natural weaknesses, but imbalance causes tendency toward auto-immune break-downs and rare viruses

Medical risks - -

- Type 1 diabetes
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
-Auto-immune disorders - Lou Gehrig's disease, lupus, multiple sclerosis

TYPE AB

Strengths - -

-Designed for modern conditions
- Highly tolerant immune system
-Combines benefits of Type A and Type B

Weaknesses - -

- Sensitive digestive tract
-Tendency for over-tolerant immune system, allowing microbial invasion
-Reacts negatively to A-like and B-like conditions

Medical Risks - -

- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Anemia

I recommend buying the book, "Eat Right for (4) Your Type" by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. I know there is something to this, it is scientific. My mother who had to have been Type A, had every health issue mentioned for Type A. My sister who is also Type A has many of the health issues for that type. My brother who is AB has combined issues. I am Type B, and I am suffering from the Type B medical risks. I have a auto-immune disorder. The good thing to know is, I believe we can avoid the health issues related to our blood type. Of course, it is not a panacea, but having this information is very helpful and narrows our chances of poor health. The old saying"we are what we eat", is so true.

Well that's strange. I'm type O, and my immune system sucks.

Clueless

That's really interesting. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I am researching the RH- blood types and think they are of the lost tribes of Isreal. If anyone is interested in this theory then please email me for further scriptures to substantiate this or I can link you up with further websites and or groups that are pertaining to this mysterious blood group of RH- blood groups O-,A-,B-,AB-.
