Your critique of my answer
Hi,
I noticed you critiqued my answer in this question:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I am not sure you are aware of this, but what I wrote is accepted mainstream advice. It is in line with what both ISSA and Venice nutrition teach (the organisations I am certified with). For your information, ISSA is co-founded by Dr. Frederick Hatfield, arguably the most recognised expert in fitness in the world.
Your critique uses non-mainstream science, which is anything but accepted (i.e. it has a lot of critics), and it is promoted by one doctor.
To call me ignorant and then write what you wrote is outright offensive, but worst of all it is very misleading to the person asking the question. The way you wrote it, it looks as though your advice is mainstream and mine is not.
I was going to request an edit on my question to answer your points, but since this is not a debate site, I thought I would appeal to you first.

Dear Hi,
I will gladly answer your question.
I do not believe my answer to a question was a critique on your advice. I never wrote it in a manner that claimed it was a critique or that my information was mainstream.
Some of the advice you gave was good and some of it may kill people. Had I seriously critiqued your advice, I would have picked apart all the flaws in your answer, I would have mentioned your name and pleaded with the advice seeker to ignore your all of your advice.
As it is, I stated "Some of the advice you have gotten is good. Some of it may not be so good for you."
I said that some of the advice you gave was good. I guess you did not see that part.
I also said "For some people, maybe even you, cardio workouts that get your heart racing for 30 minutes will cause your body to hold onto the muffin top you want to get rid of. If I told you to work out 3 times a week without knowing your genetic background, I would be giving you bad advice." This happened to me because I followed the workout advice of the mainstream experts!!
I also said "For some people, maybe even you, soy and shrimp are bad sources of omega 3. That is ignorant advice." I called your advice ignorant, not you. I said this because soy products and shrimp agglutinate the blood in three out of the four blood types and drastically increases the chances of disease susceptibility.
The agglutination that happens in the B blood when shrimp is in the system is drastic compared to the other blood types. After observing this for over ten years in myself and the other blood types in my household, I can give you many reasons why not to follow mainstream advice.
I have spoken with many people who have certificates and PhDs in nutrition, fitness and health regarding Peter D'Adamo's research. At first they are like you. Critical and close minded.
Once they actually follow the eating habits outlined in D'Adamos research, they agree with everything I say. People with PhDs who have practiced for over 30 years appreciate me opening their minds to the information. It has made them better in their fields of knowledge.
I gave advice based on scientifically proven research and my own life experience with others. EVERYONE that has ever followed D'Adamo's advice had seen amazing results.
The key word is everyone! Your advice does not work for everyone and to assume that it does is extremely arrogant!
You are wrong about the information I gave being promoted by only one doctor. There are several doctors out there that are supporting this research.
The use of the word ignorant is only offensive because you have confused it with the word stupid.
Ignorant simply means that you do not have the information required to make an informed decision, or give fully informed advice.
Ignorant does mean that you are dumb. In fact, you sound rather intelligent, just a little under-informed.
I do not recognized experts simply because I trusted the advice of experts and their "ignorance" almost killed me. I especially do not trust people who are programmed enough to believe mainstream advice and reject all others, no matter how many critics it has!
Why do I distrust mainstream advice? Because it has almost killed me three times in my life.
That is right. While I served in the military I did everything right. I saw nutrition and fitness counsellors for almost 3 years. I followed the exact advice that you gave in your answer to that poor naive girl, and it almost killed me.
All the foods that the nutritionist had me eating were agglutinating my blood. All the advice from the fitness counsellors were forcing my body to break down the muscle and making me weaker.
In 3 months I had gained 40lbs and could not get out of bed. I saw three doctors over the course of three months. All three of them did the same things. Took blood, looked at numbers on a sheet and told me everything was normal. Then looked at me and said "I can see you are not well, but the numbers on the paper are all normal." They looked at my diet sheets and what the 'experts' had me eating and doing. I followed every little bit of advice they gave me.
I could not get out bed without vomiting, could not walk very far without wanting to pass out and had bad headaches and blurred vision. It took my father, who read D'Adamo's book, to recognize what was happening to me.
I immediately changed my diet and exercise routines to follow D'Adamo's advice. Within a few days the headaches were gone. Within a few months the fatigue was completely gone and my vision back to normal. Ten years later, I am 215lbs lighter, look younger than I did ten ago and I have so much energy it is scary.
So there is your answer. I am sorry that you felt I was picking on you. I never meant for it seem that way. Generally when someone takes offence to something it means they have issues that have nothing to do with others. You actually felt that you had to attack me over a few remarks I made in an answer to someone else. This tells me you have a rather big ego.
You should educate yourself outside of the mainstream expertise, it will only make you stronger in your field of knowledge.
I felt that you gave some bad advice and I wanted that poor girl to know that it may not have been right for her.
Simple, honest and what I would expect from anyone. I keep an open mind and only talk about my experience, not regurgitate mainstream propaganda when giving advice. How about you?
I think that you need more information in your knowledge base before you can be sure your advice is not hurting people. I have lived it. I know your advice is good for some people, I know for a fact it is bad for me and bad for others.
Thanks for asking me a question and good luck with your journey to enlightenment!
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE ANSWER AFTER GETTING FEEDBACK AND A NASTY COMMENT
Your beloved main stream nutrition information is killing millions! Period. If you reject that then you are programmed and ignorant.
D'Adamo's information comes from research that is proven by people who are not out to make a buck in the system. The infomration is there to help people save money in the system and stay healthy.
You regirgitate health and wellness advice that is healthy for some, but dangerously unhealhty for others. I hope you are proud of yourself.
Thanks again!
