INTERESTS: As a licensed health professional and research scientist, I follow and may sometimes comment on health topics, particularly related to biotype diets, blood type diets, food allergies, autism, and nutrition. I am particularly concerned about false, misleading, and omitted information related to these topics.

BACKGROUND: I have been in clinical practice as a Licensed Nutritionist for 20 years. My background includes an MS in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Maryland, continuing education at NIH graduate school (FAES) in immunology, allergy, and epidemiology, and additional clinical training. For the purpose of public disclosure, I hold a patent on Biotype Diets System and a Registered Trademark for Biotype Diets. I also published Biotype Diets System: Blood Types and Food Allergies in the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. More info about me here: www.LauraPower.com.

CURRENT WIKIPEDIA PROJECTS: I am preparing wikipedia entries on the topic of biotype diets and food allergy research. Here is a link to research: www.BiotypeDiets.com. I have not yet posted because a) the climate on these pages was relatively hostile, and b) the topics deserve a thorough and proper treatment.

AREAS OF CONCERN: I am particularly concerned about the confusion among the public and professionals between d'Adamo's popular blood type diets and my original research on Biotype Diets. Despite differences in research, parameters, and conclusions, recently several prominent websites stated that Biotype Diets was just another name for d'Adamo's blood type diets. My goal is to clarify that they are different and that there is some real scientific research on this topic.
