 Blood Group Diet
Blood is typed not only by the OAB system we are all familiar with but with several other ones too including secretor status and rhesus factor.
Blood type is determined by chemical markers called antigens, which identifies cells as self or non self to the human immune system.
However it is an achievable state for everybody if we create the correct conditions in our body, a slow steady release of energy from the digestive system into the blood to power the cells.

 Article - Blood Group Diet
Variations, such as rhesus positive and negative, and secretor, non-secretor within blood types play relatively insignificant roles, when determining blood group diets.
Eating correctly according to your blood group works best when the body is balanced bio-chemically and physiologically, if it is out of balance, then it needs to rebalance first before eating right for your blood type can really excel.
Your blood Type determines what your immune system will treat as friend and what it will treat as foe.

 rhesus factor
Group of antigens on the surface of red blood cells of humans which characterize the rhesus blood group system.
The name comes from rhesus monkeys, in whose blood rhesus factors were first found.
Most individuals possess the main rhesus factor (Rh+), but those without this factor (Rh-) produce antibodies if they come into contact with it.

 Kryo Kinetics--Blood Typing and DNA Testing
BLOOD TYPING (blood group testing) is a laboratory procedure that examines blood cells for the presence or absence of specific blood proteins.
Humans have three classifications of blood proteins: A. B, and the absence of either called O. Known as the ABO system, the presence or absence of one or both A and B proteins limits the possible combinations.
Another factor in humans is the Rh+ or Rh- (Rhesus) system, which helps to narrow the field.

1939 and 1940 - The Rh Blood group system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner, Alex Wiener, Philip Levine and R. Stetson and was soon recognized as the cause of the then majority of transfusion reactions.
Known as the Rhesus (Rh) system, once this reliable test for this grouping had been established, transfusion reactions became rare.
1795 - In Philadelphia an American physician, Philip Syng Physick, performed the first known human Blood transfusion, although he did not publish the particulars.

 Landsteiner, Karl
Austrian-born US immunologist who discovered the ABO blood group system 1900-02, and aided in the discovery of the Rhesus blood factors 1940.
In 1927 Landsteiner found that, in addition to antigens A and B, human blood cells contain one or other or both of two heritable antigens, M and N. These are of no importance in transfusions, because human serum does not contain the corresponding antibodies, but they are of value in resolving paternity disputes.
Landsteiner was born and educated in Vienna, and also studied at other universities in Europe.

The Rh (for the rhesus monkey in which it was discovered) blood group is made up of those Rh positive (Rh) individuals who can make the Rh antigen and those Rh negative (Rh) who cannot.
Some lymphocytes migrate to the thymus and become T cells that circulate in the blood and are associated with the lymph nodes and spleen.
The immune system can develop long-term immunity to some diseases.
