Blood is often grouped according to the ABO blood typing system. This method breaks blood types down into four categories:

To perform the test the middle finger of your non-dominant hand is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a lancet. Two drops of blood are then collected on a slide, and a bandage may be applied if there is any bleeding. Your blood sample is then mixed with antibodies against type A and B blood, and the sample is checked to see whether or not the blood cells stick together (agglutinate).

If your blood cells do not stick together when anti-A and anti-B are added, you have type O blood.
Once your blood type is determined we may discuss your optimal diet based on Dr. D'Adamo's "Eat Right for Your Type."
