I was a little disappointed, the reason i purchased this was to see what they had to say about infertility. There was only a page or two. Buy only if your interested in this concept when you are already pregnant
Poor Dietary Advice mixed with Helpful Tips and Guidelines November 29, 2008

You'll have to be a health sleuth to determine which dietary guidelines to follow and which to avoid. Certainly it is possible that some advice for the blood types are helpful. Perhaps eating a banana for type O, will be better than an apple, I don't know.
The dietary program has some horrible advice in particular, advising pregnant women to consume unfermented soy foods. Tofu and soy milk have powerful enzyme inhibitors and are not good for anybody, especially pregnant women. The book also encourages soy cheese and soy milk for certain blood types. It encourages avoiding real butter and milk for other blood types and makes no distinction on the difference between conventional butter and raw, grassfed butter, and raw grassfed milk.
The advice for baby food is not too bad, but again, it seems like random inaccuracies.
The redeeming qualities of the book are the herbal advice, exercise, advice and other advise not related to food. I forgot to mention that the book suggests that soy and canola oil are acceptable fats for pregnancy. And that's bad advice.
Since most of the book is nutrition advice that seems quite random and illogical, but that might help a few people if they get lucky I couldn't recommend it.
Due to the widespread innacuracies about dietary advice for preconception and pregnancy, I wrote a book with accurate advice based upon the Weston A. Price Foundation health guidelines which are based upon indigenous food selection which have created healthy pregnancies for thousands of years. Healing Our Children: Because Your New Baby Matters! Sacred Wisdom for Preconception, Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting (ages 0-6) The work is based upon the research of Dr. Weston Price. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
Eating the right foods during pregnancy can make a profound difference on the health of your child.
Excellent help for major issues: morning sickness, conception... September 10, 2007

I have bought no less than 4 copies of this book for myself and friends, and can't recommend it often enough. Never followed it to the letter, but as a general guide (which I do loosely with the whole Blood Type concept). My whole immediate family is Type A, though, so we have it easier than lots of families!
I first used this book when I was trying to conceive daughter #2. After the birth of dauchter #1, we had moved from CA to the east coast, and over time, my diet had morphed into many non-healthy choices for my Type A family. After several months of no results, I read this and changed my diet to follow the Type A plan more closely. In just a few weeks, we were pregnant.
My next door neighbor was also trying to conceive her 1st baby at this time. After two miscarriages, I lent her this book - and to her surprise, she read that the combination of blood types between her and her husband was one that was prone to miscarriages. Imagine the relief of knowing that there was a real reason for this, not "something she had done" or wasn't doing. She birthed her first baby 10 months after making some changes to her diet based on this.
Another friend was having terrible morning sickness, and following the traditional advice of "experts" was actually amaking her feel worse, not better. Once she found her type in here, she was able to curb the sickness and get through her first trimester by EATING and actually absorbing the nutrients her baby and body needed.
Admittedly, the contents of this book can appear odd to those not familiar with the concept, and I've had many "western" medicine doctors pooh-pooh this all. But the fact is, no one can explain the results we've had in any "traditional" manner. I'm here buying copy #5 tonight!
Found book very helpful and informative January 4, 2007

I think this diet may be easiest to follow for Type O blood types. I found the diet to be very similar to what I am eating now with a few changes. Actually small changes. I think one of the greatest challenges for the Type O blood types is the need to eat meat and the aversion to it for some during pregnancy. I like many of the recipes and plan to incorporate them into my diet. As with anything and any book you read take what you can from it and use the info that helps you. Each person is different no matter what type blood they may have. I even read a comment from someone regarding pregnancy and eating according to blood types and although Type 0 - while pregnant she was more drawn to the foods of the child she was carrying's blood type. I really think our bodies guide us to what's best and what's most needed. This was a book I borrowed from the library but then wound up getting my own copy.
