Like Illya, I'm a Type A who needs a meat-rich, low-carb diet.  I followed a
strict vegetarian variant of the Type A diet for several months; during that
period, my health continued to deteriorate.  My e-mail folders include more
than a few messages from others with similar experiences; I know of A's who
improved on a much heavier diet, and O's who needed a lighter diet.  I
admire Dr. D'Adamo's research on dietary lectins, but am extremely skeptical
of his non-lectin-based recommendations.

Did you know that over 75% of the Blood and Blackfoot Indians had Type A
blood?  They subsisted primarily on buffalo meat.  The Bantus, whom John
Robbins used as an example of a healthy semi-vegetarian population, are
largely Type O.  Type B blood is not uncommon among the Inuit, but I doubt
that many of them tolerate dairy well.  If Type A blood is associated with
the rise of agriculture, why is it not common in the Middle East, the
birthplace of the agricultural revolution?

Based on personal experience, I can assure you that Type O's do not have a
monopoly on allergies. ;-)
