More than anything else, Eastern Traditional Medicine has carried out their concept of biotypes, that is, how the constitution of a person can reflect what is the internal biochemical and physiological part of the person. Researchers have also demonstrated this with many studies that they have conducted for at least 40 years now. Scientific studies based on clinical trials (clinical trials) so probably well-done studies. They have shown that the physical structure of a person can be classified in different ways and it is perfectly fine because their method is effective.
Physical constitutions affect the internal biochemical and physiological system of the organism, whereby different constitutions have different biochemical and physiological responses to the external environment.
The ABO-PLUS approach is based on traditional Western medicine, i.e. on the canons of Galen and the canons of Hippocrates, the great doctors of the past. They knew humanity could be divided into four types of people: water, earth, fire, and air. In our book, we explain exactly these four different biotypes, which are part of Western culture: they have different physical forms and therefore different internal biochemical and physiological forms.
We are unique
This diversity makes us unique, special, and unrepeatable. For this reason, a water biotype (both men and women) cannot get a body builder’s physique, but can still get tonic muscles and a good physical shape, if this is their desire.
So, when we hear we can be whatever we want, as long as we commit and sacrifice a little bit, is not always true. This triggers a spiral of frustration, bullying, lack of self-esteem. This happens because some people blame us for living according to nature, desires, limits, and potentialities of our genetics.
Is it possible to get Sylvester Stallone’s muscularity?
An air biotype cannot become like Sylvester Stallone (fire biotype) nor like Arnold Schwarzenegger (earth biotype), but this does not mean that they will not be able to train, according to their possibilities, to have the desired level of well-being.
We have different biochemical structures, but that doesn’t make us better or worse than others, absolutely not. This must give us the stimulus to make our being blossom from a psycho-emotional, physical, social, work, relational point of view. The biotype is the “plus” part of ABO-PLUS. Too often we have seen people say: “why, with the same blood type and diet, I cannot get the same results as a friend/ acquaintance with my same blood type?” – or – “Why am I not able to manage certain symptoms, to improve my health even if I have the same blood type, exercise, and nutrition as a friend like me?”. The answer lies in the constitutional biotype. In some cases, the biotype is dominant in others the blood group, it depends on one’s epigenetics (from conception onwards), on one’s state of balance/ imbalance, and on the presence or absence of pathologies and stress factors.
No more frustration
The song in our trailer says “no more frustration“. Why? Because the moment I know my biotype and my “medical history”, and my epigenetic history, I can take care of the situation. This way I can use my strengths for my interests, and I can accept and embrace my weaknesses with serenity. This is a good starting point to build a certain amount of self-esteem and balance with less stress.
Just as not all blood types are pure (for this reason a group A might eat a food beneficial for group a B without problems or be sensitive or allergic to a food beneficial to group A), biotypes are not all pure either. This means that there are many nuances and that you can be eclectic.
There are slender fire biotypes, with a muscle mass that would make you believe they are air biotypes. This fire biotype tending to air is the marathon runner par excellence, that is, strong but light to run fast and have endurance.
Hippocrates rather than Galen, or Socrates encouraged to know one’s own being. In the Middle Ages, Saint Hildegard, doctor of the Church, deepened a lot into the topic of air, fire, water and earth biotypes for a holistic view of the person, a vision capable of making human beings healthier and more satisfied.
This is ABO-PLUS, a useful approach to know yourself more fully, holistically, and to throw away frustration.
