    Curry powder is indeed available here. But since curry is a mixture of a great many spices, there is great variation in curry powders, from mediocre to excellent. My sister, who spent a year in India, says that Madras curry powder is the best brand available here.

    Of course, real curry will be cooked with different spices every time, while curry made from a store-bought powder is always the same.

    I had no end of tummy troubles for about 40 years. I suffered intestinal pain, gas, diarrhea, and low energy on a regular, if not continuous, basis. I went for many, many tests, which revealed nothing conclusive, and was hospitalised several times, often for days at a time. My family thought it was all in my head, as did several doctors. I began to take note of my diet and my symptoms, and found several correlations. One by one, I cut out certain foods and gradually began to get better some of the time. Then I found a book about a diet based on blood type, which explained that not everyone digests all foods well, depending on our blood chemistry and the chemical makeup of our food. I was skeptical at first, but the list of foods to avoid matched my hard earned list exactly. Everything I had documented as troublesome was included on the 'poison' list. Other foods that I knew from experience never bothered me were on the 'beneficial' list. I adopted the lists completely and literally felt better within hours. Less than two weeks later I was a changed person. In the past five years, I have not seen a doctor once for a food related issue. I have infinitely more energy and a positive attitude. Others have criticised my diet as a 'fad', but it has worked for me like nothing else.

    Wow, that's amazing! Based on that, I'd intuit that many more of us could benefit from analyzing our diets. But it must require so much trial-and-error with so many different foods that it would be frustrating. Makes me wonder about some of us looking up our blood types and comparing what we eat to those lists.

    Glad you took the trouble to do all that after all the earlier discouragement---and doubters.

    Hey Jack-
    basically only drink beer or wine.....
    try to eat FRESH- that is packaged, ie hamburger helper type foods are gone from the menu.
    A friend has been going to a homeopathic dr and basically on the blood type diet and had lost a lot of weight without trying. borrowed the book , and of course of some of it makes great sense.
