One of the cornerstones of naturopathy is the understanding that each patient is different. There are no one-size-fits-all treatments. Specific needs have to be treated for each patient. And when it comes to prevention, looking at blood type can help us even the playing field against diseases like cancer.
Scientists from the Karolinska Institute of Sweden have spent 35 years studying data from over a million people looking at the correlation between blood type and cancer.
They found that Blood Type O’s are more protected against cancer than the other types. Blood Types B and AB have a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than other types. And those who have Type A are more likely to develop stomach cancer. Finally, they found cigarettes, alcohol, and some anti-inflammatory drugs are often the cause of cancerous tumors.
Blood Type A is split into two subsets, Type A1 and A2. Those with Type A1 have an increased risk of cancer. To learn your subtype, Dr. Brody can order a test through Quest Labs.
