I am forwarding this message from another list. Since it was anon, I have not asked for permission, but I thought it would be of interest here: "For several years I was a strict vegetarian eating mostly live foods. I followed a diet suggested by the Hippocrates Institute which is based in West Palm Beach Florida. I initially started this diet because of chronic pain in my right lower side and right upper side. Many people suggested it was liver and gull bladder infections. On the diet I was able to greatly reduce although not eliminate this pain. On the other hand my physical and mental energy gradually declined. Once I started O type diet my physical and mental energy improved dramatically I also do not get colds but the pain in right side is chronic and severe." BTW, any ideas about the pain? Lynton
