I am interested in understanding more about the Geno Harmonic food list in my SWAMI.  First, I noticed that Bok Choy and Endive are listed as geno harmonic foods with many other foods.  It is interesting that both Bok Choy and Endive are neutral foods for me, as are some of the protein sources I should eat along with them.  How do neutrals turn into Superfoods?

Also, since the idea behind the Geno Harmonic Foods is detoxification, how often should I try to fit in a Geno Harmonic combination per week?

The genoharmic combos often use neutrals combined with some superfoods.  Each person has
a personalized goal to reach towards improving their genetic profile.  Read the information right above the genoharmic food list on your SWAMI and it will tell you what these foods are doing to help your body.  In other words, because of gene methylation properties in my food combinations,  two or more foods work together to enhance gene methylation for me.  My body needs to make good copies of genes.  Perhaps your diet needs to be accomplishing something else for you than it is for me.  It's not that a neutral becomes a superfood....The properties
of combined foods have the power to enhance the goals of whatever SWAMI determined would
be in your best interest.  Different for me than for you.

In my case SWAMI says this " these Geno-Harmonic food relationships emphasize superbeneficial foods for your blood type and GenoType which contain nutrients that enhance gene methylation (which increases the fidelity of your gene's ability to make good quality copies of itself). Because the loss of gene fidelity is a major hallmark of aging cells, using these food combinations will produce maximum personalized anti-aging effects in your body. Loss of methyl groups over our lifespan is a precondition for a cell's ability to turn cancerous, so these Geno-Harmonic food combinations will also have anti-cancer effects in your body as well. You can learn more about these epigenetic functions by reading Chapter III GenoType Whys and Wherefores, pages 28-52 in The GenoType Diet."

I eat a genoharmonic food combination as often as I possibly can.  Daily.  And sometimes
more than once a day. Some combinations are easy for me to accomplish.  Others, more
difficult and strange.

it is so easy to combine one left choice, with one choice on the right.....

do it as often as you see fit, together with your other food choices.

Does anyone know if eating the horseradish leaves would have similar genoharmonic effects as the root?  It is easier for me to pick some leaves to chew on or add to salad, etc. than to dig some root...

Also, if I use whole cranberries in a dish rather than cranberry juice, I presume it will do the same as the juice is made from the whole berry...  Is this reasonable extrapolation?

The juice will presumably have a higher concentration of what is desired.

There is no way to know about the horseradish since we don't know what was being looked for in the root. It seems like it might work but that is strictly a wild guess.

I think when Dr. D chooses a specific food to be combined with another specific food, he
means exactly that....exactly the way it's written is the way it should be combined.

Only reason I'm thinking this way is people have asked over the years why a juice gets one
rating and a food another, even if of the same food.

I get lots of blackberry juice on my GH combos....but blackberries aren't on my GH list..
Some of my options include both flax seeds and flax oil to be combined with a specific food....but on some lists, only one or the other is chosen, not both.  That leads me to believe
there are very specific reasons for these combo choices.

I would follow the way your GH list is written if you want to be absolutely sure you're going
to get the GH benefits you want...  IMHO, of course.  

I am so glad to see this topic.  

I'll save my Questions for after I read the above.  Except for this One

Across from:   Goat,   Lamb, & Green Tea  -- the first thing listed is Baking Soda  ?   What does SWAMI have in mind??  

Quoted from Chloe

Thanks for the explanations, Lloyd and Chloe.  Makes sense to me to follow it as written for maximum benefit.

Baking Soda generally helps regulate ph

teacher GT is susceptible when it comes to bacterial overgrowth.......

I personally believe swami knows you may benefit from this combination

I put 1/2t in water and down it, if any left I add a bit more water.

THIS combo means any one food > not all that are listed on the Right??

I looked at my O Gatherer list and could not find beef > does that mean I dont ned to combine or I should not have it?

In the meat listing I can have it. why not in the green harmonics list.. or is all super/beneficial food gene harmonic with beef?  

if baking soda regulates Ph, any chance it would help with occasional reflux or indigestion?

yes, mother

I'm just getting use to the Nomad list since I've switched from Nomad to Explorer now back to Nomad.  The GenoHarmonic Food combos are something I have to get use to using as well.  I like the simple method - one food on the right with the one listed on the left.  I think I'll start with that.

Quoted from Goldie

Goldie, all you have to do is take the one food from the left column and combine it with one of the foods from the list the right. No, not all on right. Doesn't matter how many more you want to add from the right, but at least consuming one food from left and one from right would be considered a Genoharmonic combination.  I like to go for the highest starred combos.  A 5 star combo is listed as "exceptional".  Hope
this answers your question.

what about the fact that I have no beef on either side?

thanks for your answer..

I will add at least one or more from now on,

but if beef is not included on either side, then that leaves me turkey, since I don't eat fish things.    

beef by itself if it's a diamond is still medicine. i get to have grapefruit and butter! there are some weird foods but still workable combos. It doesn't mean beef isn't good, it's still a diamond. eat it

Don't be concerned about foods that aren't listed on your GH combinations.  Your diamonds
and beneficial foods in their own right provide their own health benefits.  A GH combo gives
an additional health benefit.  Read your SWAMI and find out exactly how your GH combos are
going to benefit your genes.

What I do is make one GH combo and just eat it...separate and apart from a meal......not care much about what foods I'm combining or whether they particularly taste good together.

If turkey is on your list....then take a slice or two of turkey, combine it with anything from the
food list directly across to the right....aim for the highest starred combos and I think you'll
find this easy.  Make a GH combo into a snack if you like...not a meal.

Thanks for info on Baking soda.  
I actually do drink it whenever I feel that my urine is getting strong. I read years ago that it could help and it does.   I have never taken it with food thinking it might make digestion more difficult.  ??


Its such a relief to know I don't have to combine all these foods. A few is doable.

I noticed quite a few of mine are beverages -- that should be easy to incorporate in a meal

Chloe, I'm with you. I actually take a small fingerful of butter then go to the refigerator and eat a little grapefruit. . Never thought I'd be doing that, or enjoying sardines! I wish in GH mayo was there!

Quoted Text

I wish in GH mayo was there!

if you have eggs, olive oil, or other compliant oil, and lemons,......in your GH list
you ve got Mayo!!

Do GH foods make anyone else hungrier? I though it was my imagination so i've been playing with it. When i eat them , it feels like I never ate?

it speeds up your digestion no doubt......try combining more stuff in the mix

there usually are many choices for each gh combo

Goldie- I think beef is one of your super foods, but not a diamond


gh foods are two foods together, that if eaten that way, will benefit you, but eaten alone probably, would not so there not listed as a diamond or super food.

Am I right, in the above description of gh?  thanks!

Green tea is a diamond; grapefruit juice is neutral. Green tea and grapefruit juice make a GH combination.

Similarly, butter is neutral, but it's a GH combination with some vegetables, including some that are only neutrals by themselves. Together, however, they become "mega-super-beneficial" because of the GH combo.

I don't think I have any GH combos with beef either, although beef is a superfood all by itself. I usually eat beef several times a week.

Most of my GH combinations include fish I've never heard of and/or vegetables I've never heard of. Only the butter or ghee with certain veggies, and juice in green tea, am I able to consume regularly.

IMO, the main thing is to eat the right portions of foods- enough meat, enough veggies, etc. A secondary concern is to emphasize beneficial and diamond choices within those categories. (It's better to eat neutral veggies than it is to eat insufficient quantities of veggies and overeat beneficial fish.) Getting in some GH combos is a tertiary concern. I try to do the green tea with a GH juice daily, but it's hard to do the butter on veggies when my added fats are so limited, and my other GH combos aren't really practical for me at all.

I have Butter and grapefruit together (same meal okay! together, no thanks lol)

Quoted from geminisue

I have Butter and grapefruit together (same meal okay! together, no thanks lol)

When I was a kid, my mother used to broil grapefruit....mixed a little butter and sugar together
and sprinkled it on the top.....It made a bubbly, sweet topping.  So as strange as the butter
and grapefruit sound to you, it sounds pretty yummy to me...~

I'm wondering if molasses/butter on top of grapefruit, broiled would taste good?

the bio-molecular structure in GHs enhances the effect you chose to run your swamies, like detox or anti inflammatory.......these work in synergy when mixed

not all GH combos are in fact SFs for all

my combos are different from the rest, and so on.......so generalizing won t be very helpful here

Lola- I think of the GH combos as being "super beneficial" because of the synergizing effect the foods have when comsumed together. I'm not going to limit my consumption of a neutral food (such as grapefruit juice) when it's a GH combo with green tea. I think of that combination as "super duper beneficial" compared to green tea without grapefruit juice. (And I generally don't have grapefruit juice unless it's in tea.)

Does anyone know the answer to this?

If you're consuming two foods that create a GH effect, can you add any other foods to that combo
that are not on the GH list?  Would your body benefit just the same?

Quoted from Chloe

I would assume that the GH combo could be part of a meal and still work, but I don't know that...

All formsof tea of black tea are on the right side of my GH foods. So all I really need to do is drink it with any item on the left and voila! Red wine is on the right with a lot of items, too. I am way liking my Nomad diet yawl. Gonna' be healthy and happy at the same time.  

Dr D has always said that it is what you eat that will make you healthy, and not what you avoid....
so I believe that if you are having a GH combo, there s nothing wrong with all the other SFs and diamonds you add in a meal......

I like that     "Super Duper Beneficials"  .

I'm getting it.  (can't believe I'm so slow)

My 9 Fish listed on the Left side = have the same compliments on the right.  
(I thought they were 9 dif variations I needed to learn)  

I was sick last week w intestial problems so I combined Cranberry (left list) & Goji berry juice (right list); added lots of water and  Vit C powder. I drank it all day and ate Grapefruit sections  (right list) and also took Coconut Oil (right list).  

I realized something....I used to just eat foods on my SWAMI list that I knew were super beneficials or diamonds...but I printed out my GH list and left it out where I can see it... so, now if I am going to eat something, I quickly check to see if my chosen food has any GH combination I can make.

I was having a snack of just walnuts when I suddenly saw that if I combined it with blackberry juice or gouda cheese, I'd have a GH combination.  Only 3 stars but it was much more valuable to have eaten a GH combo than not. I wound up having a small wedge of gouda....about an ounce of blackberry concentrate mixed with water and a small handful of walnuts. A happy gene snack. My combos help my genes make good copies of themselves. (too bad that I
wasn't able to do this before I had two children -- my children would have benefitted)

I've eaten 3 GH combos so far today.

GH takes snacking to a whole new level.  

I reprinted my GH list in a form I can work with.
Put same together. There is a very basic list to start with. (matched things as much as possible)
Then right side list one color  - left side list another color.    

Today I bought Horseradish; Oysyer mushrooms; Goji Berry/Mangosteen juice -- my new foods for this week

Have you used Horseradish?   wondering if I should make it into a Tea?

Quoted from geminisue

I have Butter and grapefruit together (same meal okay! together, no thanks lol)

In our Sunday newspaper, in the children's section, there was a recipe called Toasted Pineapple.  I really think it would work for grapefruit, but I don't know if you would like it.
If you want to try it with grapefruit, take half of a grapefruit and place it on an oven safe dish.  Melt 2 tablespoons butter in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds (or stovetop).
Stir 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into melted butter.
The above 2 ingredients are enough for 8 slices of pineapple in the original recipe, so you could make less.
Drizzle butter over grapefruit.
The next step is to sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the grapefruit.  You could use agave or something else from your swami, but maybe after you remove it from the oven.
Broil in oven for 2 minutes.

This is almost the same as what Chloe mentioned.

Horseradish is VERY strong tasting,and should be used in condiment-sized portions; like raw garlic or raw ginger (though it's much stronger than garlic.) I think it would be very bitter and medicinal tasting in tea form.

thanks for the ideas about the grapefruit and butter, but I still think I will skip it.  

I tried my first geno harmonic combination last night.

Food on the left was tomato juice. Tomatoes are an avoid for me but the juice isn't.

So I figured to juice some tomatoes and add 2 combos to it: 1 zucchini & 2 endive.

The juice was delicious! And secondly I felt soooooo great after drinking it, it felt like my stomach was being repaired or something. I slept better and woke up earlier this morning.

there you go!

glad you took the plunge and succeeded!

Quoted from geminisue

Ahhh, and here I was wondering if this might get me back on the bandwagon eating all the grapefruit I want! I was thinking more along the lines of just having some ghee before eating grapefruit and seeing if that would help me with the problems I have with it.

Quoted from Lola

there you go!
glad you took the plunge and succeeded!

But, Lola, it will take a while before I get up the nerve to try pickle brine or vinegar with ANYTHING!!! I hate what vinegar usually does to me!   To say nothing about ingesting BRINE!?! My salt-hating doctor would have a terminal stroke if I even mentioned such a thing. Not that I pay a whole lot of attention to his antics! But these success stories are really getting me fired up, so we will see, but not just yet. My stomach simply feels tooooo good right now!

Quoted Text

No wonder!   Salt drives me up the wall. I have used very little of it for years. It also makes my blood pressure rise. And, sad to say, most sauerkraut made commercially seems to be made with vinegar. Sauerkraut is on my GHF list.

I'm like Chloe, for now I just use these combos for snacks. That way I have a very clear conclusion about the benefits I'm getting from them. I think I overdid it on a combination yesterday. I combined about five foods, one of them being Gouda cheese which had already bothered my stomach a few days before. I felt nauseous for a little while but later felt wonderful! Still had a little discomfort in my stomach but the super energy outweighed that. Gouda is a neutral for me ordinarily, but I always have to take lastase with any dairy product whether it is a diamond or not. The foods were apricots, banana, cranberries, flax seed and tangerine. I didn't eat a whole lot of either of them. Maybe I should have added some ghee which is in that list!

I'm say over 2/3 of my list (right side) has cranberry juice, hazelnut oil together in it using ingredients from that side I can make a dressing something I could make once a week or so.  The left side is mostly fish, and most of which I can't get here, but lamb, ghee, squash are on the left side and I could use the dressing or sauce with them.

I picked for swami to choose, I was wondering about printing off two other list, (of my choosing) and perhaps incorporating them as well.  Would that be counter productive?

Quoted from deblynn3

I picked for swami to choose, I was wondering about printing off two other list, (of my choosing) and perhaps incorporating them as well.  Would that be counter productive?

I think the GH combos from other lists will have a different focus, so in that sense, it will take some focus away from the intended goal of the SWAMI chosen GH list.  It shouldn't do any harm, however.

My GH food list is for Enhancing Cellular Detoxification..  Can't find that on the list of options. Maybe Ubiquitinylation? (I'm going by the description) or Enhance Global methylation?

I juiced a Super combo last night with 6 foods.

This time with the juiced tomato, I added zucchini, endive, grapefruit, bok choy & then 2 ounces of goji berry juice. Stirred it up and drank it down!

Then for dinner after my juice, I made a small geno harmonic combo: buffalo dog with hearts of palm.

Whoa I felt super-duper good!

My skin has stopped itching since these last 2 days of doing geno harmonic combos.  

I"m hoping to get up to SD USA this next year definitely need to bring some bison back, so where do I find a palm's heart?

Quoted from deblynn3

I"m hoping to get up to SD USA this next year definitely need to bring some bison back, so where do I find a palm's heart?

I got the hearts of palm at Trader Joe's- most supermarkets carry them canned or in glass jars. Whole foods has really good canned ones. The ones at T Joe's were in a glass jar.

I love hearts of palm. they are so tasty.

You can also order buffalo online from several places. I don't see why you'd have to wait. I like the buffalo hot dogs from Whole Foods.

I will look but won't hold my breath, my choices are Walmart, and the local thriftway. The only Whole foods in Arkansas is 85 miles away.  

Ok, squirrel I can get,  Red, or gray?

Compute Best - SWAMI will pick the best of the 4 to focus on.
Broad Benefit - A mix of the four different Genoharmonic Combo groups.
Gene Fidelity - (methylation)

Quoted Text

Enhancing Global Remethylation Effects :
These Geno-Harmonic food relationships emphasize superbeneficial foods for your blood type and GenoType which contain nutrients that enhance gene methylation (which increases the fidelity of your gene's ability to make good quality copies of itself). Because the loss of gene fidelity is a major hallmark of aging cells, using these food combinations will produce maximum personalized anti-aging effects in your body. Loss of methyl groups over our lifespan is a precondition for a cell's ability to turn cancerous, so these Geno-Harmonic food combinations will also have anti-cancer effects in your body as well.

Gene Control - (histones)

Quoted Text

Enhancing Histone Acetylation Effects :
These Geno-Harmonic food relationships emphasize superbeneficial foods for your blood type and GenoType which contain nutrients that enhance the function of histones, proteins which allow DNA to coil and condense itself. Proper histone function increases the ability of your genes to react promptly and efficiently to environmental stimuli; for example, allowing for the rapid removal of toxins. Because the loss of histone function is a major precondition for a cell's ability to turn cancerous, Geno-Harmonic food combinations will have maximum personalized anti-cancer effects in your body.

Glycation Removal - (sugar)

Quoted Text

Enhancing Glycation Endproduct Removal :
These Geno-Harmonic food relationships emphasize superbeneficial foods for your blood type and GenoType which contain nutrients that enhance the removal of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) molecules. Because the accumulation of AGE molecules in brain tissue, arteries and digestive organs is a major hallmark of aging, using these food combinations will have maximium personalized anti-aging effects in your body. AGE molecules are also responsible for many of the conditions characteristic of poor blood sugar control, including diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Ubiquinylation - (cell detox)

Quoted Text

Enhancing Cellular Detoxification :
These Geno-Harmonic food relationships emphasize superbeneficial foods for your blood type and GenoType which contain nutrients that enhance detoxification. Many of the genes found in the liver (the 'Phase I and Phase II' enzyme systems) speed the removal of man-made (xenobiotic) chemicals from the body. These are enhanced by choosing to eat foods combined as listed below. Other food combinations enhance the ability of the body's cells to excrete their metabolic waste products into the blood and lymph. Food combinations which speed removal of waste material from the intestines and kidneys or balance the level of microbial overgrowth in the digestive tract are also emphasized.

I guess I'm not to bright, It say "Enhancing Cellular Detoxification"

The lists, don't seem to use that title. I'm not getting to hipper about it.    

Just above, I documented the choice from the list, then the paragraph from the SWAMI print describing what the GH was doing...  Hope this helps.

Quoted from ABJoe

Yes indeeded the light is much brighter.

and thanks to all with the information. I also see the reasons for this one. I wonder if when my white line go I will get to work on something else.  They are much better than before. This sure is an interesting diet. Once you think you know it, it changes. Keeps you on your toes.

Quoted from ABJoe

I documented the choice from the list, then the paragraph from the SWAMI print describing what the GH was doing...

Wow, after taking some time to review the other GH lists - other than the Cellular Detox list that came up with my original SWAMI print, I found that my body had been "choosing" several GH combos from the "Methylation" list.  

This is a really interesting concept.
