My father had stomach cancer. I did a risk calculator and it asked me my blood type, which is A+. It said I was at high risk. I did some researching on the blood type, and I came up with several things that said the A person's immunity doesn't see the cancer cells, thus has a more chance of getting certain types of cancers. ie. lung, breast, stomach, pancreatic etc. Do you think that this is true, or is it because most of the population is an A blood type?

It also says that a's should drink soy. I have heard the controversy. Do you think oraganic soy milk would be beneficial? Thanks

Blood type is only slightly helpful when it comes to desigining your diet. It MAY be helpful to eliminate the 1 or 2 foods that are the worst for your blood type but when whole foods and SR are combined, blood typing is often unnecessary. I would not use the blood type to determine if your immune system can see cancer cells. You should have your immune system tested thoroughly.
Soy milk is not good, even if organic. Only fermented soy should be consumed. I have not seen any convincing research that supports consuming soy in a non-fermented state. I don't know what Dr. Stoll thinks but that's my opinion

Thanks HY. How do I go about getting my immunity tested?

There are many tests that can be peformed. Your best bet is to go to a qualified holistic physican. He/she will know which tests to perform. There are many. You don't need all of them. The tests would be specific to your medical history and present symptoms.

Hi, Jennifer.
You need to take this in context. I will give you a fictitious example just to make a point and you can check it out with your reference librarian.
For example, if all the blood types but A get these cancers at the rate of 20/100,000 and type A gets cancers at 3 times that rate, it still means that only 60/100,000 get cancers if they are type A. That means that 99,940 still do not get cancers.
Let us know what you learn from the librarian.
