Though the science of Metabolic Balancing is probably still in it's infancy, there is a lot to be learned right now about what kind of diet suits the individual. I'll jump "part way" to a conclusion with a pretty good idea that most people who get any form of "itis" are probably unbalanced in the autonomic nervous system. It's the parasympathetic side that gets dominant (or stressed, depending upon which nutritional guru you're following). Every metabolic balancing practitioner would tell a parasympathetic dominant patient that they *must* eat meat to get back to a balance. Patients with this imbalance would also be advised to steer clear of high potassium foods as they would exacerbate this imbalance and the conditions that tend to go with it (allergies are frequently also found with this imbalance, and asthma is 100% a parasymp dominance). The blood typing diets, though sneered at by many in the orthodox as well as alternate health fields, also provide a clue. Dr D'Adamo asserts that the only blood type that can comfortably be a vegetarian is Type A. I believe a lot more research is in order here, though. I have read of Type As who go on a locarb, meat eating diet, who swear they've never felt better.
