Why Do We Need Deflect and its Lectin-Blocking Power!

DEFLECT products provide anti-adhesive therapy to lectin sensitive individuals. These ABO specific formulas block the effects of dietary lectins before they cause problems, by providing a source of free blocking carbohydrate.

What is lectin?

According to an old definition 'lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins or glycoproteins.' William Boyd therefore coined the term lectin in 1954, deriving it from the Latin word legere meaning 'to choose.' Boyd was also the first researcher to identify the blood type specificity of many common dietary lectins.  Typically, lectins can bind to many of the carbohydrate antigens found in the gut and immune system, causing a variety of health problems. These can include intestinal dysbiosis, bowel hyperpermiability, immune dysfunction, food sensitivities and systemic inflammation. This is usually accomplished by direct agglutination of the target cells. Lectins can occur in very common foods in the diet, and the majority are specific for the carbohydrates of the ABO blood typing system. In one study, the edible parts of 29 of 88 foods tested, including common salad ingredients, fresh fruits, roasted nuts, and processed cereals were found to possess significant lectin-like activity as assessed by hemagglutination and bacterial agglutination assays.

Several common lectins, in particular, wheat germ agglutinin, are known to bind to the insulin receptor and mimic the hormonal effects of insulin on adipose tissue, an under-appreciated action that can account for why individuals on high carbohydrate diets often have difficulty controlling their weight. Thus, lectin blocking is a safe and rational method for enhancing weight loss.

What is Deflect?

DEFLECT is a natural product composed of 'blocking sugars' designed to interfere with the adherence of troublesome dietary lectins. Since many lectins are ABO blood type specific, there are 4 different DEFLECT formulas: one for each blood type. The blocking sugars in DEFLECT can be considered 'sacrificial molecules' that attach to carbohydrate receptors on the lectins, rendering them unable to bind to the cells of the body.  The DEFLECT formulas provide a source of free blocking amino sugars which bind and block lectins before they can attach to the cells.  Since each blood type is susceptible to lectins with different carbohydrate specificities, Dr. D'Adamo designed formulas to block lectins by using mono and poly saccharides specific for each blood type.

Do You Know Your ABO Type?

There has been extensive scientific research over the past 30 years that shows evidence that your individual blood type determines your predisposition to  getting certain diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, lupus, muscular sclerosis, allergies, etc.  Our blood type also determines what type of biochemistry our digestive systems are made of. "Your blood type is a powerful genetic fingerprint that identifies you as surely as your DNA".  Do you know what your blood type is? If not, you may ask your physician to order a special blood test for you to determine what your blood type is, because in  most cases unless you have been hospitalized, had surgery, or have given blood, this type of blood screening is not ordinarily done as a matter of routine. 

Genuine Weight Loss Goes Deeper

For a diet not designed as a traditional calorie-cutting “diet,” why is the Blood Type Diet so successful at helping people reach their natural, healthy weight?  Over  several decades, researchers have identified over 1,000 common foods that contain powerful proteins called lectins. These food lectins become active and important for you when they interact with your blood type.  For example, after consuming any number of foods containing wheat, both blood types O and A can experience bloating and other digestive problems. This may be more than a simple “food intolerance.” The walls of the stomach and intestines are lined with sensitive receptors that interact with, and respond to, the lectin in wheat.  At first, you may only experience that wheat lectin interaction as a mild digestive problem, or a dull, listless feeling after consuming foods not right for you.  Over time, the result is a steadily deteriorating state of health, loss of energy and weight gain.  The good news is, by removing these targeted foods and replacing them with foods more suitable for your blood type, you begin to experience the benefits of a leaner, cleaner, more energetic body.....

The Diet That Fits Like A Glove!

Before I made my decision to follow this diet I ask myself, what do I have to lose besides the weight, joint pain or lack of energy? Then I came to the realization that it was more like what am I going to gain by eating this way? For with all the health challenges facing us today and one that is causing such high incidence  of  illnesses, diseases and diabetes just to name a few, and which is driving many to try  every  remedy and or diet under the sun just trying to find a cure or relieve. What  I discovered is that they are only a few nutritional and or diet programs that can really deliver results, and for me it was  the Blood Type diet were the results has been the most dramatic and life changing, and while some people do not know or ever heard of the this type of diet, they are others that think it is a restrictive diet, and this is simply because they are under the impression that they will have to avoid many of the foods  they are so accustom to eating.......

Are You Genotyping?

Broadening his approach to diet and health beyond the four blood types ( O, A, B and AB) naturopathic physician Dr. Peter D'Adamo the author of “Eat Right 4 Your Type” profiles six GenoTypes and explains how we can reprogram gene responses to lose and maintain weight, repair cells, avoid illness and age well.  The difference between the GenoType diet and the Blood Type diet, is that the GenoType is a customized program that works with our genetic makeup to maximize our health and weight loss, and prevent or even reverse disease.  With the right tools we can turn on good genes and shut down the bad ones. Things like family history, blood type  and using some diagnosis tools like fingerprints analysis, and jaw shape can know determine your GenoType, and it all can be done without expensive test or even a visit to your doctor.

They are six genetics types and with the genotyping kit you can know discover what your GenoType reveals about you.  This diet base on genetics is the latest and most cutting-edge research in the twenty first century by Dr D’Adamo, and it is a unique plan for wellness and weight loss.  In comparing the two the Genotype Diet is base on our genetic makeup and the study of epigenetics (the study of the interaction between genes and environment) and the Blood Type diet corresponds to our exact biological profile and understanding of the dynamic natural forces within our own body, but knowing your blood type is important to determining your own unique GenoType.  In one way or another I feel that most of us can greatly benefit from these findings.  Yours in health.

Thumbs Up To The Blood Type Diet!

My wife is a great fan of Dr. Oz and it is good to know that he gave the thumbs up to the Blood Type diet, and it was in the for women only First magazine that he stated that eating right for his type gives him more vital energy, and don't we all need that!  They are a few skeptics and critics in the medical field that gleefully bash the very idea that blood type could possibly have a significant role in human health, other than ensuring a proper match for a blood transfusion and who through heaps of conclusions that can barely compare to the many years of research and work of Dr. Peter D’Adamo, the Blood Type diet continues to gain momentum across the world with the results speaking for themselves.  The majority of his followers myself included are sharing a passion reaching far beyond following a formula that leads to well being,  but there is also the understanding of the science behind the data this concept has open doors into the biochemical understanding of the modern man that are always seeking for a better quality of life in the health arena........
