gals and guyen... thanx to Dr. D. my journey ended here today and I got his *absolution* to be an explorer....   ..not  a warrior... noooot at all ...guys and galls... I  gave a try to the warrior diet and gained even more kg's.. ....

hey and I am in menopause and.. sorry... am I nuts. nope not @ all but my measurer seems to have done some  heavy errors.... ... ok gave me the glimps to do all by my own... I got it... I really got it !!!

The smiley faces are what make you appear nuts... I mean like it is hard to read your posts sometimes because you have 8 in a row.

Good luck with Explorer diet. I am on one too. A very modified one.

the role of communication of *judges... and  victims* seems to play an extreme role in several humans....as being an NT.. I have really a problem to get out my *feelings*...NT's don't have an F-side in their
issue... so far I try to get understood by smilies....sorry...
DoS... you seem to be an ENTP.......

Enjoy exploring what explorers eat, on an everyday basis.  Sure you will have it down to memory, real soon.  

Wow, this will be a change! Sounds like a winner!

Welcome explorer (got to get myself swamied after the new year...I think we may be sisters in this area also ) ...bring on the smiley's roostersis.

... thanx to Dr. D. my journey ended here today and I got his *absolution* to be an explorer....

Congratulations on finally making it to the correct Genotype  

Welcome to the Exporer world  

Yes, congratulations! What a challenge it must have been for you to follow a Warrior diet if you are actually an Explorer. I bet you'll start to feel whole again. I am, after being on the diet close to a month now. What percentage are you?

yup...yup..yup...I feel pretty...ach sooo pretty .... thanx all for the warm welcome and thanx also to P.D. for having changed my life ... for a
second time..... .....

Chandon it is marked 40 points..... (and only 18 points for warrior )
but then it is written I've to get all adapted with BTD....I knew it...I knew it ....

but i was persuated to be a mix of explorer,nomade and warrior... coz all three fitted extremely well = A2B nonnie..... ....

Hey welcome sister  

to whom it may concern ......wavies....

Hi Isa happy to know you have your right genotype; I thought of you as an explorer !
Have a nice evening and enjoy your results !
Maria Giovanna

Isa,
Hope that it will make a huge difference for you.  I've still got to get a SWAMI.  I think I'm a gatherer but thinking back, all the diets that ever worked for me were more hunter like.  I have very small wrists and ankles.  Ever since the thyroidectomy and the colitis diagnosis in the mid 90s, it's been a struggle.  
Have a happy, happy holiday season and a wonderful new year everyone!
I'm planning to go the NH to do some skiing.
Jane

Congrats and welcome!  Enjoy your new diet and the new energy it will give you.

Isa, I hope the explorer diet will work wonders for you!!

have the new no-no-list always with me right now .... I am very curieuse how it will work... but as I saw.. P.D. is right coz of my own tests with the Vegamachine... it was clear that... but I didn't realized it at once... and thought my eyes were lying at me ...........

Ok all lies... I put "history of low grade infections" and I got Teacher again. I get Teacher no matter what with that selected. Maybe I am a teacher but I never lose weight except under certain circumstances. I have not narrowed down the exact circumstances but weight just drops off me.

I marked low grade infections because of candida and regular ear infections as a child.

I do not know if I am one in the same as you anymore. I need someone to help me with this I think, like just consider all the information and tell me what they think. Also I think every time I eat any sugar I get candida problems again or something.

Quoted from DoS

I get Teacher no matter what with that selected.  

I think it would be better to focus on what is happening with the diets rather than what is happening with the GenoType labels.

When I tested a hypothetical teacher and checked this box the only food value moved was Kombucha Tea (from neutral to Superfood).

It may change a lot on yours, but in my hypothetical case that was only food value that changed.

I already had "Do you have a history of bowel or digestive problems:"
checked.

To see food values switched by this setting see:

http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1260719451/s-11/highlight-neutral+to+superfood/#num11

---

You will need to do your own checking to see how the settings affect your SWAMI.

"A" nonnies and candida


How are you with coffee?

Coffee-Swami allows

I drink it in social settings once or twice a year where it awkward to avoid drinking it.  

I can tell no affect on Candida.

Choose to drink green tea instead.

If I drink a lot of coffee I get hyper and feel super amazing. I can not sleep well though. Although sometimes I can sleep while drinking coffee.... I just drink green tea instead and it does not keep me awake. (I drink Kukicha, Bancha, or Hojicha (a roasted Bancha) Perhaps  I need the cortisol? I think adrenal fatigue is appropriate diagnosis for me. I keep having re-occurring candida which affects my whole body. Then if I go low on carbohydrates it dies off but I am tired. If I take biotin it dies off but I get tired. I think all the dieing off and coming back stresses my system out. I do not know what to do about it though.

I know I am prone to bacterial overgrowth. I feel best when my intestines are cleared out.

being by myselve café hyper sensitive...

DoS... would you mind to give a try to NADH..about 5 or 10 mg's in the morning and in the afternoon ...a bit more of *happy feelings* and no more destroing of smilies...especially not mines ...
and I guarant you ..jjjjaaahhuuuii happy feeling with gute Laune ...  ... ....

now I've got it why I wasn't able to stand the MMS for a second or third time... it's all about GSTM+ & GSTT1...... so far it isn't to be expected that others might react likewise and so I am able to recommend this stuff to others (ok I'll test it before all recommendations ).... but others musn't react likewise I did....it becomes more and more clear....

It's funny, Isa, when I read the descriptions of the Explorer, I feel like one in so many ways.  Mostly I'm just a nonnie.  But Explorers seem to have nonnie traits.  I sometimes think of myself as an Explorer in a Warrior body.

Great going, Isa!  High Five!

Aren't GSTM and GSTT1 issues that all Explorers should assume they have?  Hoping here that MMR can be epigentically targeted.      

I could really use a cheap bacterial/viral cleanse, but potential dammage to gut flora demands a little more in the nature of an explanation.  Someone who understands these issues would have to explain how MMR avoids the good bacteria, the all the cells of the body, and targets the destructive elements inside.

That being said, the potential for setting epigenetic differentiation as a standard for targeting and evaluating therapies seems like a gold mine that needs development.  



There should be more of this .....   much more of this.  Whoo-hoo!  

One thing I think I've discovered, but time will tell, is that using St. John's wort as an Explorer may not be a good idea! St. John's wort is metabolized by a cytochrome P450 pathway and so are many other things. People have to be careful about using it with certain drugs. I'm thinking that maybe my having starting taking SJW around a year ago could explain why I'm so mold sensitive now. I think the SJW has caused a real dam in my body in terms of processing mold, yeast, and perhaps other supplements. SJW also takes a while to get out of your system. Anyway, I wonder if other Explorers have had issues with this.

I don't know what your abbreviations refer to above.

Quoted from Ribbit

  I sometimes think of myself as an Explorer in a Warrior body.

With SWAMI this is sometimes expressed as a Warrior with "reactive worldview".

A normal warrior has a thrifty worldview.

I tended to think of you as thrifty. But as I write this I can think of some aspects of you that may fit the reactive profile better.

Incidentally, Martha prefers to use the term "responsive" to "reactive".

Worldviews are on page 113 of the book.

now I really understand my colleage which is working with Meta Scan... he tested me some weeks and told me about my *reactive past*... and yep I am still very thankful that I didn't produced any autoimmun disease likwise my elder sister did... but she seems to be a warrior .... but I can't say yep to all questiones about creating *reactive issues* in youth... not at all....  
coz I wasn' able to stand allopathic treatments....

MMS reduces  our soooo highly needed red..or not red. gluthadion.... here layed the key dearle ...btw... would give a try to Magnolia bark also a so called antibacterial plant...but also lapacho tea can do the trick... I've tried once lapacho tea (= a bark) but no effect with me.... ....

Paul you are da hoot ...this is the fact why the *gold mines* at pharmacals doesn't work that effectively... one man's medicament is someone else poison ...as usual and pharmalobby isn't interested to go for research here.. so it means better to*give a try...so something is sold first....and the next will follow*
you see why that bombe of Vega machine and all the others are so heavily fighted by Pharmalobbies... they can't do any money on those... ....


btw...

I'd like to get to know if this is possible due to my *explorer-ness* that my reaction onto the op last year with morbus suddeck is given here Dito that  another reaction is due to too much of injections of anaesthetica.... meant here is.... since a while my left hand reacted as well...also the 3 fingers of my left hand have similar reactions as my right hand...they ache when I try to move them... so far a false neuronal response........

Okay, after going and reading it all, I would say I am thrifty until things to go too far, then I am reactive.  I think I remember reading somewhere that Dr. D said the Warriors could have been named Farmers.  They happily and peacefully till their fields until somebody comes up out of the woods and threatens their family.  Then they grab their spears and become Warriors.    I think I have some of both thrifty and reactive.  But the nonnie-ness makes me feel like an Explorer a lot of times.

wasn't it you Ribbitlein, who told me once to give a try to this diet and that your AB daughter does much better on it...sorry I wasn't able to listen then...and yep have had too much in my mind instead of reading  the description about us.... ...that would have saved me nearly 2 years of time....

I did think to you as an Explorer and I wrote it in a post for your drugs intolerance and discovered also a cousin of me as an Explorer the Christmas Eve. She is 54 years old, A-, of medium short height, not long legged, very drug-sensitive, she cannot more drink wine and spirits since 2 years, ambidester or left-handed and shows ten years less than her age. Very generous but with obstinate ironwill and creative, I bet she is also a nonnie. I have sent her the link to the Explorer description in the syte and I hope that her open mind will jump in here !
Best wishes again Isa from Maria Govanna

Isa, good luck with your changes.  Hope the explorer diet will be the right match and work for you the way it should, driving our Isa to speedy optimum health.  I understand what you are going through, I myself now back to Swami Teacher from Swami Warrior ...  Pendulum feeling here ... like CS said, it is the food lists that is important ... that I am watching and agreeing with most choices.  I gather you are happy with all or most of your Explorer choices Swami gave you in your lists?  

oooh yea I remember Maria Giovanna, you once mentioned it as well...
and I didn't listened...and yep...
but ok as Dr.P.D. said I've to go and adapt it withBTD traits ... what a lucky bum I am ....

Cristina I don't know...have to try it first ....

Isa, what a discovery! To find out you are an Explorer!!  
About your lefthand.. Does the PT have effect??
Anyway, I think that your sensitivity to anaesthetics is really an Explorer thing. And your 'aversion' to wine?? Typical Explorerthing.
Great for you!!

Take care

Cocky

Isa,
Congratulations for your courage to keep persisting until you get it right!  May you experience all the benefits of radiant health!  

...hmmm Victoria... I don't know... perhaps is this only due to my very high adrenal workout ...

Cocky...stopped my *wine-sensitivity* since a while ... tested it out but yep I really must take care here... but perhaps is this also an explorer thingy likewise our moods and bloodcirculation...or blood thinning issues ... .... ;)
PT is still great for my right paw... it works phantastically and I am nearly able to do all I want with my right hand... but it took more than a year... ....
but as P.D. describes us...get beaten...fight...get beaten and stand up again... ;) ....

...

but yesss it's true I can't really cope with allopathic meds...   but now I can proove it to the *white coated* coz they told me..hey you only want to drive your own wheel ;)...which isn't that far from my real worldview..ok.... but I am not a hypochonder nor will I risk whatsoever for the obligations of thoses... ...I am able to use my own brain and tried to explain to them.....but the anaesthetic shots were to much...I am persuated.....
but I will send them one by one the explanation about explorers... also to the doc who is still giving me the autorization to see my physio by prescriptions ;) ...

"hey you only want to drive your own wheel ."

Yes...especially when you don't like the way the white coats are driving.

Just curious...how many of you have chicken as a black dot?

SF for me now.....need to find organic sources and free range only before I taste them again!

I was watching a guy on a TV show discussing animal conditions who claims that just because they free range it doesn't necessarilly mean that they are. Sometimes it just means that they are free to roam inside a farm house full of other chickens, living and sleeping in their own feces. Sorry don't mean to spoil your appetite Lola.

chicken is still a no-no for me.....

Chicken is black dot for me - but I still rarely eats it - just don´t really like it anymore and it makes me constipated
BUT for years I have known that beef and veal made me feel GOOD when I shared it with Emma
- I was a wannabe O  and bingo both are superfoods on my swami

Chicken is neutral for me.

Chicken makes my little Explorer feel horrible!  She was 4 when I first started wondering about chicken, after I realized it was an avoid for her B daddy.  When I took chicken out of his diet, and he felt so much better, I tried it for her as well (This is even before we knew she was an AB).  The next time she had it, she had her old reaction, and I asked her to describe to me what she was feeling.  As she laid in bed and cried and cried, she said, "Chicken makes me feel sad."  Besides that, it gives her headaches and leg aches.  I keep her away from it at all costs now.

as I told you once..at the age + - of 2 or a bit more I've thrown it out... that blo..chickies ...


btw...I begun a detox program with highest amounts of Alfalfa and red. gluthadion....
since yesterday.... hmmmm way to look for ....

Tell us how the detox goes!

sweattings par excellence and I'm not sure is it detox or menopause related...

I wonder if hot flashes help Explorers!

I remember that one time I lost weight really quickly in my twenties, I would sweat at night sometimes!

night & days..... ...... but this since a while...some months.....tried Fem Balance but it didn't helped....


augmented the intake of Alfalafa against hot flashes today from 3x3 to 3-4x5 tablets and it seems it works better for me ....terrible always have the feeling to need a shower... perhaps will i go for some sauge leafs as well.... i am that tired of feeling like a boiler.....

justamente got my two new lists....
the lists were much longer what I seem permitted to eat... ok will have a discussion with my measurer soon.........

mann it seems I'm a lucky  bum.......

I may have  red meats like  beef ...= neutral.... ....
mais...all kinds of wheat....emmer, spelt,artichokes, shiitake, potatoes   and even chicken is allowed after 60 days....I didn't ate it since ... coz I felt that it isn't that good for me... dito potatoes and other starchy things make me ache.... ......

hey tell me Tamari is ok but it must be wheat-free... so far another biig if I can have wheat... next Oats was written in capital letters.. ok for that but then it is written in little letters i can't have oats in teutonic language.... ...ok..ok... I'll give the no-no's back to the translation's system.......

wish you all a wunneful weekend.... ....

Quoted from Jumari

Explorers unite...

Just curious...how many of you have chicken as a black dot?

Chicken is a total avoid for me.  I have not eaten chicken in 30 years.  In grad school I used to lie down crumpled up in the fetus position with cramps.  I did not get that bad of cramps when I had my period.  I kept a food diary and tracked down the source of my distress as chicken.  

Chicken is avoid for my Explorer A+ sec wife, RedLilac.

Well, Isa, mushrooms!     Try fried mushrooms in Ghee!     

Red Lilac.. nearly the same for me... I' d this experience as a real little child; I remember I was about 2 years old and since then I never ever touched chicken again...

Paul... please tell me more about those *thingies.*..and why only in ghee instead of garlic & onions & fresh herbs & olive oil....

Garlic, onions and herbs, yes, yes, - yes but try ghee instead of olive oil!  I used to not like mushrooms, but received them on later Swami runnings and tried & fryed in ghee.  Delicious!  

My Father used to grill tomatoes and fry mushrooms and serve with bacon and eggs for brunch (late breakfast or early lunch).  Would have just eaten eggs and bacon and toast if left to my junior tastes ....

Remember, clarified butter takes the heat better than olive oil - much higher smoke point.  

Ghee is not clarified butter, and Ghee takes higher heat better.

Clarified butter still has water content in it and lacks the good short chains of fatty acid that Ghee has or at least significantly more of...

Ghee should have all water (or as close as possible) removed and the short chains of fatty acid released from the lactose blobs of cholesterol, in it.

Paul... I'll give a try today   thanx for sharing ....

got justamente a phonecall... my newest...latest version of *my shopping list* should arrive this weekend......of course am I patient!!!....

I feel like I'm starting to detoxify from the diet. I've had a few days where I've had detox symptoms in the morning, including sweating. I think berries and juices have been particularly instrumental.

Quoted from Amazone I.

now I've got it why I wasn't able to stand the MMS for a second or third time... it's all about GSTM+ & GSTT1...... so far it isn't to be expected that others might react likewise and so I am able to recommend this stuff to others (ok I'll test it before all recommendations ).... but others musn't react likewise I did....it becomes more and more clear....

What is 'GSTM + &GSTT1?

">http://www.4yourtype.com/explorer.asp    


all about genetic inherences about gluthadione S-transferase M1 =GSTM1
gluthadione S-transferase theta = GSTT1  & GSTP1.....

lacks of the enzyme G6PD and disturbances of p450 meant here is the whole family of CYp1 to CYP4


I coppied the whole and showed it to my latest MD...who told me that I am only a sort of   coz I was always reluctant to take any kind of allopathic medication so now I've got the proof....

Quoted from DoS

Ghee is not clarified butter, and Ghee takes higher heat better.

Clarified butter still has water content in it and lacks the good short chains of fatty acid that Ghee has or at least significantly more of...

Ghee should have all water (or as close as possible) removed and the short chains of fatty acid released from the lactose blobs of cholesterol, in it.

Does this mean that it is not good for someone with high cholesterol?

The cholesterol is gone, short chains of fatty acid are not associated with cholesterol from what I understand.

However I will stay my personal findings are that if you are not physically active to raise the heart rate then the fat content may not be good for you. My chest suffers from something caused by fats and ghee affects it more. If I just get out and raise my heart rate a little bit of pressure and it is gone. I mean it can take a moment or two, or use too, but it is like someone turns on the speed when I go running. I assume it is the non-secreter Type A part of me... unless I am utterly confused and I am a warrior.

I love sautéed mushrooms!!!!

Your Father’s grilling ingredients make me sick just reading them.

Ghee is more prominent in my SWAMI than it had been. The last time I made ghee, I was waiting for the foaming to subside and I kept getting bursts of sputtering. It seemed like it would never end. I finally strained it and was really close to burning it. I think I really got the water out fully! Maybe I ended up with more butyrate this time.

I've been trying to eat some every day. My body seems to really need the fats now, so I try to get a lot of variety between olive oil, ghee, sources of GLA, fish oil, flax oil, and sometimes some other oils. Olive oil and blackcurrant seed oil are my diamonds. Most fats are now allowed on my SWAMI, except for ones like peanut, corn, cottonseed, and palm.

The challenge for me is to organize my meals so I don't eat more grain than I need. Beans make a good substitute, although I'm unclear as to what our bean servings are. My thought is that beans aren't limited since they aren't mentioned in the info about frequencies, but I am not one to eat a lot of beans. If I don't get enough carbs at night, my body lets me know (can't sleep), so I do eat some beans even though I tend to eat the full amount of nut servings per week. Since I'm not an O, I feel that carbs are still somewhat important for me as an Explorer. I generally eat the right amount of fruit per day and often some juice.

got my newest foodlists today...    but ok now I am too tired for verifications and tests...but it seems very similar to others before... and as mentioned once it is told I can have a stuff and then denied .... ja..jaa.. those nasty translation systems....   nighty night all...

you won't believe it but yep..another foodlist today.....meep....meep... I knew it.... will compare all the received one and choose the one who fits most... orrrrr........

na ja as I thought parole..parole..parole... but perhaps this-one might be the real true- one.... lets' have an eye on that as well... instead of roflamoing  ...

Isa - how come you are getting so many new food lists? (I'm jealous  )  Are they updating the translations or changing your calculations?  Did you have SWAMI or SWAMI express?

You're still an Explorer, right? Now that I have my SWAMI Explorer list, the latest and greatest to date!, I couldn't be happier. It is so much more tailored to me than the one in the book and fits me much better than my old Teacher list, as enticingly varied as that was.

Symbi, my *measurer* has gotten dif. informations whithin the last few years about me ...that'swhy now I can profit of those diverse lists ... now joke appart this is exactly as P.D. describes.... a lot of errors and then getting along with doing it to the very best ....   I;  à nouveau became a guinea pig .... and as I once wrote about the european situation of needs for more educational issues and also sustain from IfHI & all the big maischddas overthere ........seem to know better to implement the whole swami's then .....
but one thing I've to mention, my *measurer* isn't at all from the medical line but is infact an ingeneer, so far I am proud that he made all those progresses and that today he is even better then most of us coz he really got the combinations and what's about it ....he took the pain to get introduced by BIT/BRT etc (bioresonance therapies etc...) and then at the same time he learned to manigance a machine called Global Diagnostics...computerized thingy ) and at the same time he choosed to get into the swami and BTD themata... man, and what else... he really is a very intelligent man and well educated ....You see, I am in good hands .... but justamente love to make some jokes about my own situation......

I think getting the most of informations is one of the very best things, but we are all humans and committing errors are ok  for humanoides...isn't it ....

Ok I will compare all the lists also with my own trouvailles via Vegatestings... and
yep I think he made it ........ but we all can learn how quick things can change and that we must be aware  to work very accurately as therapists.....

the very best as a joke is; always he tries to get me back to the warriorhood... the program converts me directly to explorer....

Thanks Isa, being human we all do make mistakes and it's good to try out different things so we can know we're on the right path.  Probably good you are getting an average of different readings and having access to all those machines and information.

You're lucky!  An engineer would be the best for measuring!  If anyone would know their way around a ruler or a protractor ...

I'm glad you're an Explorer!  Not that we're planning a softball game or antyhing, at this stage, but I'm glad you're on our team  

BTW I also swing between Perceiving and Judging.  Used to be more P when I was younger, now becoming more J, isn't that typical.   It sneaks up on you.  I hope to keep an open mind, though not so much that my thoughts fall out

thanky you Symbi
btw....please remember the scripts of Briggs-Myers...the booklet *gifts differings* here she explains why all introverts are justamente doing the opposit of their endings ... ... meep...meep...

little update: since a while I'm on the new  explorer program; but not one gram lost..... ....ahem....ok menopsy's kiss... and not enough of sports.... ....
hmmm next saturday my new challenge as a hypnotherapist begins; perhaps the combination of both.....

Remember dancing, walking, and hiking, Isa!

Physical activity required, not specifically sport!  Are you drinking Yerba Mate?  Mike implied it is better than green tea for Advanced Glycation End product removal.   If this is the therapeutic emphasis that Swami prescribes for you, consider drinking Yerba.

I don't like that much the taste of Yerba M tea....but I do take a lot of greentea & lemon ....

I'm looking about how many *new* swami's I will get in futur.... and what it seems is allowed for me...

it's hard to follow those advices... but you can be re-assured... I didn't have lost one gram .... .....and I now really move... with all those beautiful musiques of ishtar alabina...and a min. 12 h. of daily obligations of blo.. würrg (work)... ........ but ok that musique is really lovely...
