...yes, I have followed it in the past, and I need to get back on it, it is very effective!
Here's a little background: I was diagnosed with MS in April 1997; I went the pharmaceutical route for about six years; interferon therapy did more physiological harm than good. A radical diet change has done so much good that the positive results surprised my neurologist. This would take far more time and effort than would provide for my desired result of waking up the world of how the pharmaceutical industry is destroying medical advancement, so I'll just say this: food is the best medicine for a disease for which there is no known cause nor no cure. Furthermore, what can it hurt? We have to eat anyway.
I have found that the most beneficial diet was the diet for my blood type designed by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo and Catherine Whitney, the authors of Eat Right 4 Your Type. You don't necessarily have to buy all of D'Adamo's blood-type jive either to recognize that this diet is a healthful one, which any good doctor would approve.
I'm not following it like I should now because I'm choosing to be fat and lazy in all this wet Oregon weather, but this reminder might be the motivation I need to eat right.

I beg to differ. I have medical proof, that is, I have in my possession viable medical evidence of blood samples that shows that The Blood Type diet is anything but a scam, but then again, if you're gonna label anything a scam then who the hell am I?
You may believe that anything anecdotal is a scam.., no wait, if that were the case then what are you doing referencing Wikapedic gibberish as reliable truth?
About 10 years ago I went to an MD who was also an homeopath because all my other physicians were unable to propose an effective treatment for my immune system. My body was manifesting all kinds of "immune system problem symptoms." Anyway, the homeopath/MD recommended a number of homeopathic remedies, but also a major dietary change based on "Eat Right 4 Your Type." I followed the diet for Type A's pretty strictly for a couple of years and had very good results: felt better, lost weight, got off some high priced Rx meds, particularly the ones for the stomach problems I'd had for 40 years!
Thanks for the reminder. I need to get myself back on that diet; I know it will help with my weakened energy levels due to the stress of my husband's illness. I do not believe this work is a scam; there's nothing wrong with anecdotal information when you've got enough of it over a long period of time from a broad population.

Show me the evidence that this is anything other than a SCAM. Not anecdotal reports but double blinded studies that hold up to scientific standards.
Joseph E. Pizzorno, Jr, is an "ND" Doctor of Naturopathy, a naturopathic midwife and the founding president of Bastyr University, a naturopathic school that was chosen by the National Center of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) to be a Center for Alternative Medicine Research. He continues to act as an advisor to the school.
Pizzorno is on the "Management Team" of The Dove Health Alliance [100], the mission of which is "to discover, validate, and disseminate the principles and practices of energy medicine on personal, societal and environmental levels." [101]
Pizzorno promotes a variety of unproven and irrational claims as fact. For example, he asserts that "The hypothesis that gluten is a causative factor in the development of schizophrenia is substantiated by epidemiological, clinical and experimental studies." [102] He believes that food allergies cause multiple sclerosis [103]. He says the dandelion is useful for the "sluggish, congested, toxic liver." [104] He promotes kava for "stress." [105] And, like Deepak Chopra, he is a proponent of the mystico-herbal practice of Ayurveda [106].
Pizzorno also believes in the bizarre "blood type diet" advocated by fellow naturopathic "doctor" Peter D'Adamo, a Bastyr graduate. Pizzorno calls it "The Medical Breakthrough For The Ages," saying that it will change the practice of medicine for centuries to come and lauds D'Adamo as "an outstanding example of the best Bastyr has to offer." [107]

...without getting into the whole litany of Clinical Methodology, and how clinical trials are not designed to prove anything, two things for you to consider before "dissing" Dr. D'Adamo and his so-called mythical health-food regimen:
What about Weight Watchers? Although Weight Watchers is a super successful weight management system, since your sources would likely suggest that their methods are based on myth, no clinical evidence to provide "proof" that Weight Watchers works, I guess all that anecdote and the results are bull: right?
CAM: As Modern Medicine evolves, new modalities are developed. One modality in particular, Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM), is a research avenue that supports Alternative medicine and its complementary role in healthy living; and, in theory CAMs have been shown to improve the efficacy of pharmaceutical medicines.
Eat Right for your Type can be considered CAM, but like you say, it's all just a scam: right?
