RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
You, my friend, are a true researcher. Is there such a phrase as auto-research? LOL! So many of us go though life suffering, and don't make the connection between the food we eat and the illnesses/allergies we suffer. When I started doing this kind of research on myself back in the '70s, it was really hard. I bought books, hung out in Health Food stores (which was scary enough, since everybody looked sick!), and at the library. Ironically, it was my prostate doctor who turned me on to vitamins. I started having trouble at 27 (I might have mentioned this), and he prescribed something that helped a lot. Every 6 months for 2 years I went back for renewals before I asked him what he prescribed. He said Vitamins A B complex, C, and E!! Needless to say, I went to the health food store, and the rest is history! And yes, types A and AB have REAL trouble with dairy! That mucous thing can get complicated... Maurice PS -- I keep the Blood Type Book for reference. The information on A and AB and Breast Cancer is very interesting, too. ---Original Message--- From: Keith Johnson Date: 08/20/05 08:11:36 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi! You brought up a point I hadn't mentioned: I do have dairy allergies. When i was born my mom had to give me soy milk because of that. When I drink milk or eat dairy, I immediately get mucous buildup exactly as if I had a head cold. It's one reason I try to stay away from dairy. This past week was a rare breakdown. Not sure exactly what meat is bad for me, but I know how my body feels sluggish when I eat certain types. When I did my vegan thing, I slowly re-introduced meat, and was able to note the specific effects of different types as I ate them. Red meat is of course the worst, so I limit my consumption of hamburger or beef to something like once a month. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M C Jennings Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 02:03 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

I was a fair electronics expert in the Air Force, and that skill transferred itself to programming in the sense that I was not intimidated by computers because I understood how they worked... I started off writing in Basic (self-taught), and wrote some time accounting software for my job. My Big boss saw that I had a talent, and he sent me from NJ to Virginia. I was a UNIX expert after about 8 intense schools. I wrote a lot of tech softward in 'C', and some assembler language stuff. This was back in the early '80s. I started as a programmer in 1980, and was promoted to programmer/analyst, Systems Analyst, then Custom Development Software Project Manager. By 1984 I was responsible for our unit programmers providing support for the ATT marketers who were selling ATT's line of computers in direct competition with IBM. I always thought THAT was insane, but hey! LOL! Anyway, we were responsible for developing software to make the computers do what the marketing people told the customers it would do. We had Customers like Chemtrec (The D.C. Haz-Mat people who put the placard rules on trucks, etc.), and the Marriott (They were in the process of gaining control of all of the Interstate restaurants, and building LOTS of hotels. We finally realized we could not be all things to all people, so we started concentrating on super database systems. It was insane, and I was driving to meetings in all the midlantic states up to NY. I had to fly into places like Bluefield, West Virginia. That was a treat! LOLLOL! Anyway, I also used Dbase's programming language, UNIX Shell language.. Informix's new database management package...anything to keep from writing screen software in 'C'. I learned Paschal, but never used it. I have used Fortran for some calculation stuff, and COBOL for more stuff than I want to remember. Uh-oh...all of this is making me remember rehab, too...KIDDING! My rehab was leaving on early retirement and becoming a police officer. I wrote a few systems for our department back in the early '90s. These were enjoyable ..like the Airline pilot who flies a biplane for enjoyment... WOW! Guess I rambled a bit. LOLLOL! Anyway, that was me.

A few years ago when this weight consisted of more fat (now it's hopefully more muscle with a little fat left) I went cold-turkey vegan for three months. Though I missed the barbecue, Mexican food (beef), and ham with my pancakes, I did surprisingly well. My wife, however, had a terrible time. She could barely last two weeks, and was always craving meat. It wasn't until much later that you and others made me aware of the whole blood type thing. I'm type AB, which according to that Web site you (?) posted, doesn't need much meat.

Everybody does not do well as vegetarian(s). Check out your blood type. If you're a type 'A' like I am, vegetarian is the way to go. On the other hand type 'O', the original type, is a meat-eating type. Got it from the original diet. Type 'A' evolved after humans settled down and began to grow stuff. Type 'B' is mostly Asian, and AB is the latest evolved type. VERY sketchy, but since I've started paying attention to my diet according to my blood type, I've had a lot less trouble because of food reactions.

LOL at the exercise piece! I know the feeling! But I'm trying to get back. I bought a BowFlex Ultimate 2. I had the eye-opening experience of Herniated Cervical disk surgery with the addition of a Titanium plate fusing 2 of my vertebra (June this year). I figured life was over as I knew it, but my physical therapist showed me how much I could do. My left arm was paralyzed for 2 weeks before the surgery, and I'm REALLY appreciating getting my muscles back! I'm going for the exercise! Hope you do the same! It's a battle, though, huh? This country is built on obesity. I mean, we're encouraged to consume every minute of every day. And consumption means corporations get rich, we get fat, and then the corporations build equipment to get us to lose weight! YIKES!!! It's the Phillip Morris Syndrome all over again...Phillip Morris makes cigarettes that kill us, then they tell all the Nic-addicts that smoking is dangerous and they should stop smoking! I tell you, we don't need to worry about big brother. Big business is big brother in a pin-striped suit! I've decided to become a consumer revolutionary.

I started off writing in Basic (self-taught), and wrote some time accounting software for my job. My Big boss saw that I had a talent, and he sent me from NJ to Virginia. I was a UNIX expert after about 8 intense schools. I wrote a lot of tech softward in 'C', and some assembler language stuff. This was back in the early '80s. I started as a programmer in 1980, and was promoted to programmer/analyst, Systems Analyst, then Custom Development Software Project Manager. By 1984 I was responsible for our unit programmers providing support for the ATT marketers who were selling ATT's line of computers in direct competition with IBM. I always thought THAT was insane, but hey! LOL! Anyway, we were responsible for developing software to make the computers do what the marketing people told the customers it would do. We had Customers like Chemtrec (The D.C. Haz-Mat people who put the placard rules on trucks, etc.), and the Marriott (They were in the process of gaining control of all of the Interstate restaurants, and building LOTS of hotels. We finally realized we could not be all things to all people, so we started concentrating on super database systems. It was insane, and I was driving to meetings in all the midlantic states up to NY. I had to fly into places like Bluefield, West Virginia. That was a treat! LOLLOL! Anyway, I also used Dbase's programming language, UNIX Shell language.. Informix's new database management package...anything to keep from writing screen software in 'C'. I learned Paschal, but never used it. I have used Fortran for some calculation stuff, and COBOL for more stuff than I want to remember. Uh-oh...all of this is making me remember rehab, too...KIDDING! My rehab was leaving on early retirement and becoming a police officer. I wrote a few systems for our department back in the early '90s. These were enjoyable ...like the Airline pilot who flies a biplane for enjoyment... WOW! Guess I rambled a bit. LOLLOL! Anyway, that was me. My skills are obviously obsolete now, but I'm glad I was there back in the day. My first ATT boss was very astute at wiring programming boards! ---Original Message--- From: Keith Johnson Date: 08/20/05 08:17:17 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
You brought up a point I hadn't mentioned: I do have dairy allergies. When i was born my mom had to give me soy milk because of that. When I drink milk or eat dairy, I immediately get mucous buildup exactly as if I had a head cold. It's one reason I try to stay away from dairy. This past week was a rare breakdown. Not sure exactly what meat is bad for me, but I know how my body feels sluggish when I eat certain types. When I did my vegan thing, I slowly re-introduced meat, and was able to note the specific effects of different types as I ate them. Red meat is of course the worst, so I limit my consumption of hamburger or beef to something like once a month. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M C Jennings Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 02:03 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
Well, I try not to let my SUV speed-LOL I would need to take out a mortgage for gas if I did. Luckily I work pretty close to home. I think next time around I will do a more economy friendly vehicle-maybe. I live in Michigan and I used to always be stuck in the snow somewhere. I tell you the winter after I got my SUV, I got stuck, slid into a ditch, pulled out-on my own and still made it to work with time to spare! I do not know my blood type, I need to ask my doctor. I have actually done amazingly well as a vegetarian-a choice I made for strictly health reasons. I happen to believe a cow has no great purpose other than steak or hamburgers, etc. I quit pretty much cold turkey. I had been thinking about being a vegetarian for awhile, but did not want the extra work of planning meals carefully, was not sure about giving up meat. Then I had a hamburger one night and decided it was my last-and it was, but it has only been 6 months now. I thought it would be horrible, but I decided right from the beginning that if I wanted to eat meat I would and I have been tempted but have found that if I crave meat it usually means I am not getting enough protein. It is challenging for me to get enough protein in my diet. I drastically cut my dairy consumption but not gotten rid of it because it is a quick easy source of protein for me. I am not a big fan of beans so that was a challenge as well. I am also busy and most vegetarian cookbooks call for lots of complicated cooking. So, I joined SoulFood vegetarian MSN group and borrowed a teens guide to vegetarian cooking from the library. I feel better, sleep better, have less headaches and stomache aches-it was a good choice for me. I also eat more fresh food, alot less processed food and rarely eat out-which has helped me to save money. lois M C Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 20 seems to be a good score, considering mine!!!

RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!
Had a bad week for some reason. It may because I had to be at work at 5 am three days out of the last five, doing five-hour server upgrades each time. I was too tired to workout like I needed, yet my schedule kept me from eating well (I usuallly take time to prepare breakfast, lunch, and snacks to eat at work so I avoid the pitfuls of eating out). So I'd get home tired yet hyper, pissed off, and hungry. Next thing I know I'm downing ice cream shakes. I've polished off three gallons of ice cream in the last week. So I'll be hitting the road about 7 in the am tomorrow to run off some of the calories I picked up. It's amazing how one can be biochemically configured to respond favorably to various smells or tastes. I consider myself to be very disciplined, but ice cream is a true weakness. I also have an amazing reaction to the smell and taste of vanilla. Give me a vanilla bean pod and I'm like a cat with catnip. I probably drop two tablespoons of vanilla extract into each milkshake I make.The smell has an amazing affect. The same with the smell of roses for me. -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 14:22 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: Reality is often more interesting than sci-fi!

Keith, I'm glad to hear that! I'm guessing your wife might be type 'O'...? The same thing happened to my sister, who is type 'O'. She got really sick when she tried to stop eating meat. She switched to lean cuts, and she's healthy as a...I'm NOT going to say HORSE! LOLLOL! On the other side, type 'O' really should avoid chicken and corn. I don't know why, but it seems to be deathly for most of them... Your blood type is new and relatively rare...cool!
