This is interesting.  I recently surveyed the readers of this
newsgroup as to their blood types and did a statistical analysis
of prevalence.  The results showed that type 0 blood occurred
in equal proportions in those with gluten intolerance or celiac
sprue and in the normal population.
 
I know that I would be interested in hearing more about Dr. Oppenheim's
research in this area.  Can you post more specifics?
