The invention is a diet-typing system for humans, including novel methods for diagnosis and treatment of food allergies and hypersensitivities. The diagnostic method correlates blood types (immunologically reactive antigens on RBC, skin and membranes) to four kinds of food allergies / hypersensitivities (IgE antibodies, IgG antibodies, T-cells, and Lectins). The results are used to identify and predict food allergies and hypersensitivities for six biological types (blood types A1, A2, B, O, A1B, and A2B), plus diet modifications for three subtypes (blood type Rh-negative, males and females). The treatment method uses the results to make food recommendations (to eat, limit, or avoid), based on the strength or classification of allergy scores, to mitigate the risk of food allergies and hypersensitivities in future persons. The diet-typing system presents the results on six diet cards, one for each blood type. The methods and resulting diets are unique, and differ substantially from prior inventions.

The inventive method for treating diseases associated with modifications of the qualitative and / or quantitative composition of blood extracellular DNA, namely generalised infection diseases provoked by bacteria, diseases provoked by fungi and protozoa, atherosclerosis, pancreatic diabetes, allergic diseases associated with delayed response hypersensitivity and diseases due to somatic cell gene mutations consists in injecting an agent destroying blood extracellular DNA. DNAse enzyme injected into a systemic blood circulation in doses which modify the electrophoretic profile of the blood extracellular DNA definable by pulse-electrophoresis can be used in the form of an agent destroying said blood extracellular DNA. Said DNAse enzyme can be injected in doses and at regimes ensuring the level of a blood plasma DNA-hydrolytic activity which is measured in the blood plasma and is higher than 150 Kunz units per litre of plasma during a total time higher than 12 hours a day. The inventive method makes it possible to develop a high-efficient and low-toxic method for treating diseases associated with modifications of qualitative and / or quantitative composition of blood extracellular DNA individually or in combination thereof.
