Food for good health at Echo Valley Ranch & Spa
In January 2000, Norm and Nanthawon Dove, Owners/Operators of Echo Valley Ranch and Spa, put into practice the teachings outlined by Dr. D'Adamo in his book "Eat Right for your Type" - by April the entire staff of Echo Valley Ranch & Spa, have witnessed the benefits that they derived!
We all feel and look much better and have now decided to make this diet available to all of our guest. We are truly excited about being able to help people by encouraging them to read Dr. D'Adamo's book and recommending that you do as we did, try it for two weeks - see the benefits - make the adjustment to healthy eating.
Some of the benefits we derived
- Significant increase in energy levels.
- No more after meal "blahs"
- Norm used to always have a packet of Rolaids in his pocket - since January 2000 he no longer has a problem with stomach acid.
- Norm and Nan reached their ideal body weight. Norm's weight went down from 185 pounds to 165 pounds - in Nan's case, (that's a secret - but is just as impressive). The most impressive thing being that if you do not over eat there is no need to change calorie intake - all that you need to do is avoided food that is not good for your blood group!
- Nan used to frequently have a problem with her tummy "bloating" - we pursued this vigorously but the test indicated that all was normal. Since January the problem "went away" except for one time in May when Nan ate a strawberry - her tummy bloated - we had discovered the problem! I think that you will agree that we are justified in being so excited about the benefits of this life style alternative.
- Many of our guests who made the change report back that they experienced the benefits and adopted the different lifestyle.
There is more good news - our chef, Kim Madsen, is now also a believer. Kim served a five-year apprenticeship in Europe and is a Master Chef with many awards, including the Cordon Bleu, Silver and Bronze medals from the Culinary Olympics, etc. etc. - Knowledge of nutrition is a requirement for all Master Chef's so Kim's endorsement is important to us - Kim is now very knowledgeable about the beneficial foods for all blood types and answers the many questions that our guest ask at meal times. The meals that Kim prepares makes available food that satisfies recommended diets for all blood group types - he advises each of our guest what is beneficial, neutral or to be avoided depending on their particular blood type. Now that does not mean that you can not eat all your favorite food at Echo Valley, you can still decide to eat all of the great deserts even if it is bad for you - it is up to you, your choice. The benefit of this is that should you decide to change your diet and opt for this life style alternative it will be in a "real world" environment with all of it's temptations - this will help you to continue with it long after you leave our ranch. Please note that this program is only available to guest that stay with us for a week or more who have notified us of their intentions.
One last thing, Dr. D'Adamo is "a noted naturopathic physician, researcher and lecturer. His extensive research and clinical testing of the blood-type connection to health and disease has led to ground-breaking work with many illnesses, including breast cancer. Dr. D'Adamo, who has written articles for several medical journals, was selected Physician of the Year in 1990 by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and Clinician of the Month of February 1991 by Preventive Medicine Update. The founder and editor emeritus of The Journal of Naturopathic Medicine, he has a thriving practice in Stamford, Connecticut. USA". All of us here at Echo Valley Ranch & Spa believe in this diet and have proven to ourselves and others that it is truly beneficial. We did ask the opinion of several other western doctors who do not necessarily endorse the teachings of a naturopathic approach to good health and preventive medicine - they all had reservations about some of the claims made in "the" book, but each and every-one of them agreed that in any event the recommended diet for each of the blood groups (O, B, AB & A) was balanced and very healthy.
We urge you to try it for yourself - see the benefits - opt for this lifestyle alternative
