I haven't seen any polls like this, so I thought I'd write one  .  Go ahead and vote for all the women in your household whose genotype you know.

Whoops, it looks like you can only vote for each genotype once per poll.  Sorry for the confusion.

nomadorrier here...can't vote ....

Teacher warrior thin with broad shoulders and unable to decide it ! A sec diet much more pleasant with dark chocolate andeasy with lettuce and spinach.
However Teacher and warrior could be highly gastronomic diets; helas I have a quarter of a pound 400/500 hg more on my my belly-waist. Yoga I hope will care of it. Maria Giovanna

I voted as a Nomad.  My daughter is an AB but don't know what her genotype is.

My wife and daughter are both Teacher Genotype, but it only lets me vote once...  

Joe, I'll vote Teacher for you on their behalf.

Either way I've measured it I am a gatherer. At first the index finger were longer now the index on one hand and the ring on the other is longer-still a gatherer. The only problem is I am catching every stinking 'bug' that is going around. Got sick on my drive back east to Fort Bragg, NC. Then got to feeling better then on the last day heading home I got sick again and it is sticking to me real hard. I am trying to minimize any neutrals and the avoids are gone anyway. What else can I do?

I second that.  The good thing I got out of thinking I was a Nomad was that I went gluten-free for several months, and it healed up my gut.  Or at least, my sensitivity to eggs went away, and I think that's a sign of gut healing.

TJ, I was gluten free..thanks to Dr. D I can eat wheat again!!  

Explorer waiting for the Swami tweak.

Quoted from Mayflowers

TJ, I was gluten free..thanks to Dr. D I can eat wheat again!!  

Dittoes, I eat barley and "normal", gluten-contaminated rolled oats now with no trouble I can discern.  I wouldn't object to eating spelt, either (except that it's a black dot), or Ezekiel bread (except that it's sooo expensive)!

Great news, Drive!

http://www.4yourtype.com/products.asp?dept=12

I agree, also detox. liver sups are important...

All of my measurements are so so close but with my migraine and anemia issues, it just has to be explorer. My body shape fits it too. The Geno-Calculator (using my measurements) also confirms explorer.

Like RedLilac, I am also waiting for the swami tweek. I already took out the mozzarella and added back some beef. Just had too because I feel better that way. Gotta figure out why my joint pain came back on the gtd and won't go away. It hurts!

slyparrot, I had joint pain issues when first trying the GTD, and all year have had homelife issues that kept me from focusing more on diet the way I had when I started BTD. Unsure of the cause, I leaned back more toward BTD. Whatever I go with, I'll never leave these systems, BTD saved my bee-hind in a big way. I notice you and I have alot in common, tho I don't know what kind of taster I am yet. We probably have alot of similar food responses.
Joint pain theory - nightshade vegetables, increased dairy.
I am now in a position to focus more on my diet and responses to changes.

Can anyone tell me why, when you measure fingers, they are measured on different sides? For a couple of days there after I remeasured my fingers (wrongly...) I had convinced myself I was an explorer???! I think if there was a 'type' in between them both, that's where I would be, as I relate so strongly to issues both types have...

However I think I am happy being a gatherer... Really find it very hard to sweat anyway. And rice and lentils are NO substitute for chocolate and cashews (even if the latter are still only black dot status)
But....there was popcorn to have occasionally I loooove popcorn) Still, think I'd rather have choc though and I'll satisfy myself with pumpkin seed 'faux popcorn...'

Here's another one - How come I can strength test for 3 different genotypes, even including Nomad    (which comes out at least 5 points higher than Gatherer) And yet there "are no combination types" p104 Genotype Diet...??
Isn't swami kinda combination typing???? I'm confused!!  

Also what happened to A+an's comment to this thread "19 minutes ago"??? Is it just that they take a while to appear???

And...when I posted yesterday, how come the thread stayed down where it was???

Quoted from 4283

Also what happened to A+an's comment to this thread "19 minutes ago"???

+Aan most likely just voted and did not post a comment. Voting in a poll updates the modification date of a thread but no comment appears.

Possum 2: I 'strength test' for Nomad high & I think for Explorer, but am a Gatherer.  The main thing is the 3 measurements & the BT components(type, rh factor, & secretor status[sometimes]).
The strength tests are to confirm or to get a general idea.
We are Os so can't be Nomads, but we have certain things in common with them!
I know it can be confusing at first, but stay with us!!!!

Quoted from 4283

Isn't swami kinda combination typing???? I'm confused!!

I prefer to think SWAMI identifies an individualized type. A computer program generates a personal diet profile based on many factors. The type/diet selected is one of millions of possible types (not just the six listed in the book).

Not only are blood type and genotype considered, but also a number of items related to your family's health history are considered in determining a personal diet plan.

It may be a matter of semantics but I prefer to think of it that way rather than SWAMI deciding that I am 43% Teacher and 57% explorer.  

Thanks Mrs T 0+ & C_sharp That's what I thought, but thanks for the responses... At least I know now I'm not the only 0 who test strong for Nomad - I thought I was going mad there, esp when it was stronger than the 0 types??!!
Don't worry Mrs T; I'm...not...going...any...where... This is like way too much fun and helpful!!!

Anyone got any thoughts re other couple questions ???? pls see 2-3 posts back

My only advice, Possum, is to choose the one you're closest to, and follow it very strictly for a month or more.  Then switch to a different one and follow it for a while.  The more strict you are with it the better you'll be able to tell if it was right or not if you change diets.  It might be very subtle.  When I changed to the Teacher diet for two weeks, the only real changed I could put my finger on was the weight I gained.  I didn't feel any different, although at the time I remember thinking my back didn't hurt as much.  But I'm a Warrior for sure; thanks to my SWAMI results I now know.

as Ribbit once mentioned about her AB-daughter...ok I'm giving a try to
the other diets...= nomade and then explorer..... I felt sooo miserable onto the warrior diet...so far here must have been an error when I got measured...... btw... I just crave lamb meat..... ...all
the others...ok mustn't really have them...but lamb...yessss a little must... .....

Excuse my ignorance here, but how do you find your swami diet?

you need a practitioner to run a swami ......

I'd only say,,,, you'd need a practioner..... .....

Excuse my ignorance here, but how do you find your swami diet?

Buy three months of supplements and get a free mini SWAMI.

Quoted from Andrea AWsec

Buy three months of supplements and get a free mini SWAMI.

Has anyone done this?  How long does this SWAMI take to do?

all the details will be given to you once the three months have been achieved.

a detailed questionnaire needs to be filled in, the info submitted and the swami report will then be sent to you.....
if you need specific info, call NAP, they will know more.

Lola-

You also mentioned that we could get a practitioner to do the swami. Right? I asked my ND, the one that had me start the GenoType diet and she said she has never heard of it. What does it take for a ND to be able to preform the SWAMI tests? If my ND can't do it how can I find someone local that can? Is there some sort of practitioner search engine?

Thanks,

Rylie

your ND if interested might want to attend the next certification in
Norwalk!

check the practitioner registry for other certified IFHI practitioners familiar with Dr D s swami program.

Lola,

Where do I find the practitioner registry?

Thanks for the response.

Do you have to be an ND to become certified?

No, Cozzete, you don't have to be a N.D. to be certified, but being certified doesn't make you an N.D. either.

It's great if you find an N.D. who is also certified at the Master's level by Dr. D.  That would be a wonderful practitioner to work with!

Well, that is disappointing(that being certified doesn't make me an N.D.) I already tried to get the one person listed for minneapolis and i left my  phone number a couple of months ago and never heard from the person. Anyone know anyone within a day's driving distance of minneapolis?

Welcome!

I'm a Teacher who thought I was an Explorer for more than a year! I became more compliant recently and realized I wasn't feeling that great--especially in my digestion. I decided to remeasure and discovered I didn't originally measure the seated height properly. I am SO glad I did that!

Now that I'm on the teacher diet, I have found that my watch is fitting much nicer than it had. I was so annoyed that it had gotten tighter in the last year. My digestion, which was really worsening, is getting much better. Thank goodness. I had followed the A diet (secretor) a while back but felt I needed more protein, so I would try different, higher protein things. I am so glad to be back on track. This reemphasizes how certain aspects of the A diet have been important to me. In the last 2.5 years, I strayed the most from the A diet and also consumed more teacher avoids than ever. That is when my digestion got really messed up!

A's and digestion. I know that mine can be a problem. even after all this time.

I ate Spelt Crepes made with almond milk (from Cook Right) I made myself with a tablespoon of almond milk mixed with hot water, I shook it up in the jar, added it to the crepes, I ate a tiny piece of the crepe, a torn off piece that the kids didn't eat. I had gas pain so severe I could barely stand for 12 hours.  The kids  ( 20 and 16) had no problem with the crepes, but my poor A Warrior body was a mess.
What is the opposite  of genoharmonic?

Quoted from Andrea AWsec

What is the opposite  of genoharmonic?

Genodissonance.  

genochaotic  

I have been avoiding all gluten for close to 4 years, I think. I discovered by chance I have celiac disease, although I never even knew I had digestive problems at the time. My main symptom was problems with my nerves. Then I developed diverticulitis a couple of years later--while on a somewhat low carb diet where I ate a lot of veggies that were teacher avoids and also ate too much meat. Finding the teacher diet will hopefully eliminate the difficulties with my digestion that seemed to start back then. It already appears to be working. So I'm feeling some genoharmony right now! It sort of weird to think that something finally might be right for me, diet-wise.

Wife is an sceptical Teacher.

I need someone to vote Warrior for my 9 year old daughter.  She looks like a string bean that has been transformed into human shape.  Vegan ectomorph for sure.

well I am back to swami explorer

I haven´t measured Emma again
- but I am quite sure she is more Hunter than Gatherer and more Explorer than Gatherer. She simply doesb´t fit the gatherer profile at all
So my guess is that she has to wait to get swamied later

I am about 95% sure I am a hunter. I am waiting on my secretor tests results. I want them now! Even then, there is a slim chance that I could be an explorer but I still have to know, I want to be 100% sure.  

Most of my measurements and AB group make me a nomad (don't know secretor status), but I have whorls on 8 fingertips, and ecto/meso physique and a small waist. And no way do I have the right personality for a nomad. Maybe I need to test again.

Welcome!

would knowing your secretor status change your GT in any way?

Hi Kje.

Are your index prints loops?  If so, when you hold both palms up is the delta on those loops on the same side?

You could be an Explorer, and apart from the fingerprints and the strength test in the Genotype Book you best bet is the secretor status which you havn't taken.

Kje: I think that the personality deal is secondary(or further away) to the dietary characteristics. Focuson the diet.  
My AB husband has the classic personality characteristics, but my AB aunt doesn't seem to. (I'm figuring she is an explorer GTD which would be a very rare bird-I mean the combination of those 2 things.)She has the dietary interests of an explorer more or less.

Welcome to our BTD world. It is such fun with nice people here!!!!

Welcome to our BTD world. It is such fun with nice people here!!!!

What do you mean by "she has the dietary interests of an explorer more or less"?  I find the personality aspects of Genotypes quite interesting.  I'm a warrior and our motto is "Time Flies When You're Having Fun." This motto describes me perfectly.  I never have enough time in the day.  

I'm a little confused.  Says in the GTD book to look up updated food lists on http://www.genotype.com.  Got the BTD type base.

The http://www.genotypedient.com
was originally a subscription site. The full GenoType lists (including neutrals that are not listed in the book) were available on the site, but you had to pay a weekly fee to access it.
lists were removed at the same time as the site was given public access without the payment of a subscription fee.
.

The types of fingerprints that you have make a difference in your Genotype?  I guess you learn something new everyday, lol

I have 8 loops and 2 whorls, where can I find out what it means?

I'm a hunter and, o boy, I fit the personality exactly     Hubby even agrees.  Also, I think that the only thing different in the physical part of it is that I do not have a squarish jaw... it's almond shaped.

Other than that, I am 6 feet tall with long limbs, narrow boned

Lola,

Is there any place to find the neutrals anymore?

yes in fact, all the foods on typebase not appearing on your lists can be considered neutrals.

those new additions on your book, for other GTs, not on your list, as well.

I have a question: I remember reading Dr. D'Adamo's saying that each individual is only one of the six genotypes. I understand that some of you would like to enter two or more types to represent those who aren't in the forum (and that isn't the purpose of the poll, is it?) But I also see some of you saying you're of mixed genotype. What'd I miss? (This is the moment when Lola usually comes up with the telltale link...)

I'm either 38% or 41% depending on whether I say I'm a shoveler. I could be at the slight end of shoveling. Too bad I don't have the cast they took when I got braces!

It sounds like Explorers aren't so uncommon, at least here! And I think my husband is probably one too.

Quoted from Chandon

It sounds like Explorers aren't so uncommon, at least here! And I think my husband is probably one too.

Explorers, non-secretor, Lewis double-negatives are more likely to have unusual issues.

When Dr. D' Adamo put an individual, systematic approach to health out there these kinds of people hoped, questioned, tested and demanded more of him.  He has risen to the occasion and developed deeper understandings and gone in different directions than those he originally intended.

The Genotypes of board members are slanted towards Explorer because Hunters Gatherers, Teachers, Warriors and Nomads who don't have serious issues will eat as Os, As, Bs, and ABs and be content with that.  We Explorers and non-secretors who are not Explorers, and others who don't neatly fit into the broader categories have to be more demanding because our bodies are.

Hi.....just voted and new to this site. I am a Gatherer. Here's the kicker.....I went for 10 years following a Type A+ diet because of a high school teacher's blood test results with our class a very long time ago. Never had it tested medically, just followed the diet recommended for A's and recently my joints have become stiff and I have bursitis in my right shoulder, so I ordered a geno-type kit and blood test kit and
Wall-AH! I am an O+ Gatherer! I am excited about eating Buffalo and Lamb. I threw away the leftover peanut butter, replaced it with Almond butter, bought some low-fat cottage cheese, and got rid of the lentils, brown rice and potatoes! I am looking forward to healing with this high-protein diet, losing weight and feeling like I did at 40!

All the best!! Wooh that is a long time to be going down the wrong track.. So how was it you felt at 40 b4 you started the A+ diet??!!

voted as gt2 gatherer, i'll get the taster test and secretor test soon. I kept jumping from gatherer to explorer during genotype testing but seemed more gatherer than other. Someone said popcorn, don't like corn much, but you should try the gluten free rice chex that's out now. I just fill a bowl full and eat away.  

I think I've to pass the Lewis test as well...question here is... is there any difference when I made the secretor test with dr. D... what's all about and new to get to know if I'd be double -  I knew my mum is a B Rh - and my dad was an A Rh +, me an A2BRh+...then I asked myselve... hey...astonishing...normally we say..- &+ = -
but -&- = +...ahem.... oooh...oooh... ...my blood was tested in 1976 for marriage... should I go for further tests or better to pass the genetic tests first...
anny suggs or ideas more then welcome ...thanx in advance  ....meep..meep....

Using the book, I diagnosed myself as a Gatherer, but .. I'm going to take the Geno Test and get more info so I can get the info into Swami.

Monica
San Diego.

I know I am BT A and Rh +. I am Ao because my Mom is A+ and my Dad is O-.
According to the Genotype book I fall mostly under teacher due to measurements, longer torso and meso-ecto, however, I am gynic, almond jaw, and longer ring fingers with 8 loop and 2 arch fingerprints.
I just wonder if my Dads blood has any effect.We seem to tolerate more foods in common than my Mom and I.   

I d do a secretor test and according to those results only follow the advanced calculator.....

This makes sense, it looks like the women here are mostly like the women in the real world. Many women have shorter legs, and it looks like 58% of you are a part of the three short legged genotypes.

Genotype 2 includes two bloodtypes - O and B. O is 43% of the US population, so there should be alot of GT2s. B's are 9%, so they just serve to boost the GT2 further.

Genotype 4 includes all bloodtypes, so they should have quite a number of women.

Genotype 3 has only one bloodtype, A, which is 38% of the US population. But GT4 steals some of the type A's...

Thanks, Lola... I am currently waiting for my secretor test results.

35% Explorer according to SWAMI.

Just voted.  I'm 38% Explorer.  I am ordering the secretor test this week.  The outcome of the secretor will either confirm my Explorishness, or push me over to Teacher...We shall see...

So far I'm Swami Expressed as an Explorer and I redid my finger prints many times and my index finger measurements.  Being a B non-secretor and RH-  and my index fingers are shorter than my ring fingers and their fingerprints don't match really put me in the Explorer category.  However I do have a lot of Nomad traits being a B.  My diet is a mix of both I see. Seeing the Nomad printout in the beginning is not too different than the Explorer printout in the end except for some few minor changes.

Family and personal history does make a difference too!  Glad SWAMI can work it all out and make it easier for all of us.  

did you try the palms up method for finger length measurements?
http://grannygeek.us/?p=2284

Quoted from bel

Any Female nomads who has longer ring finger compared to index finger?

Yes Bel!

I do!

By one mm.

Did you have mainly whorls? I had all whorls except on my middle and pinkies (ulnar loops).

I voted a long time ago as a teacher. Now I am swamied as an explorer.
So....take away one teacher and add one explorer......

Ditto. Swami changed me from a Teacher to an Explorer.

I am a short Nomad. 5'3" and my "normal weight" is 100 lbs. I gained almost 20 lbs thanks to a whole bunch of steroid medicines from the doctor for allergies and stuff. YUCK.

I am an ectomorph but I gain muscle quite quickly when I start working out. I have some asymmetries as Dr. D. notes... shorter Nomads are lankier, have smaller frames, and have asymmetries.

My legs and torso (approximate lengths since I measured myself without help) are either equal or legs may be slightly longer. I was a size 0 long at my height.

The funny thing is, I am told most "shorter" Asians have shorter legs compared to their bodies. I was considered being exotic as a result of seemingly longer legs. Both my parents share the same figure, though (Dad is O and Hunter without a question.. I would say STRONG without even measuring him. Mom is AB and I need to measure her but she has the same frame but medium frame).

The whole leg length issue makes me wonder if Asian Bs tend to be more explorers. Asians seem to have larger head sizes, making their faces seem bigger, too. If there are other Asians here, I am quite curious about your responses to my comments.

Sidebar: Dr. D. says in general, Nomads tend to be taller in height with red hair and green eyes. In my funkier days, I would dye my hair bright red or purple and wear green contacts... My past life regression shows me as a typical Irish "redhead" living in Ireland, making paper. I am wondering if I was being drawn to my Nomadic tendencies in my past life, as well.

okay, now I am confused on the correct way to measure the index and ring fingers.  If I measure using the "palm method"  I change back to a teacher.  Please tell me the correct way to measure.  

Palm up is recommended because you can see the crease between the finger and the hand.  You measure finger tip to crease on the side of the finger next to the middle finger.

Quoted Text

You measure finger tip to crease on the side of the finger next to the middle finger.

straight line is fine, like in the illustration

i voted a good while ago saying that I'm a teacher, but I just found out that I'm an explorer (and proud of it )

So, I am a hunter. Longer ring fingers with symmetrical lengths on fingers. I think I am more "square" in all my body parts than I thought.

I wonder if my German/French ancestry has anything to do with it.

thoughts?

I'm a gatherer according to swami and a nomad according to the advanced calculator.
My ring fingers are also longer than my index fingers and my fingers are all the same length on both hands. My shoulders, chest and hip measurement are all within 1inch of each other, with a defined waist and I'm German (born, raised and citizen of)

My ring fingers are longer, have a meso-ecto/almost hour glass shape, almond jaw thar looks square from front view and French ancestry on both sides!

I really enjoy learning about the genotypes, body composition and the heritage behind our looks..

When I get stressed about eating tooo much protein, I always think of my father who passed away of cirrhossis of the liver ((we owned a bar for 20 years in NY).... he was an O and def a hunter I think- anyhow, he always said "YOU NEED MEAT" and You will feel better;)
