I don't think it is known only to D'Adamo.  However, I do think
that D'Adamo is the only one who has claimed to test a large
number of lectins and list them according to which blood they
agglutinate.  That is, although I think it is recognized that
lectins in general may agglutinate blood of one type but not
another, D'Adamo's tests have not been replicated.  To my
knowledge.

The point is not that all lectins are bad.  If you tried to avoid
them you would starve.  D'Adamo's point is that only *some*
lectins will be targeted by your body's immune system.
