At the begining of the summer it was mentioned that there would be updates coming out at the end of the summer. Fall is almost here, where are the updates? Have they already happened and I just missed them or are they coming later in the fall? Just curious!

The updates should be finished shortly.  

ExplorerInNM,

while you wait, why not take a shot at finding out your subtype and MN system?

you already have done a secretor saliva test, right?

then there s the genographic project mitochondrial dna,
and even the y chromosome if you had a blood brother close or your father living

all these can be imputed into swami, and will help narrow your genetic individuality yet more

I see you are the curious kind, like me!!

I'm chomping at the bit myself.  

As much as I love summer, part of me could hardly wait for the summer to end so that we can have v.2 of SWAMI!  

Certain updates must already have happened, as I have been instantly transformed from a Warrior into a Teacher, by merely logging into the SWAMI web interface after a several month absence.

Adam, after being totally astounded that you were changed from a Warrior to a Teacher, I reran
my SWAMI this afternoon and saw that my Teacher status change to Explorer.   It's rather
daunting to start another diet.  But after reading my food list, I think this new diet suits me much
better.  I always felt something about eating cheese all wrong.  And now eggs became neutral
which sounds right to me.  How does SWAMI know so much?  

You are right! I am now a Warrior! I was a teacher by the book, then Swami had me as a teacher, but I had rushed the measurements and when I fixed them I was a warrior, then I change healthe history and I was an explorer and now I am back to a Warrior! I need to print out my lists again! Or should I wait for hte rest of the updates??

I went from 38% explorer to 45% warrior. Pretty cool! So more updates are coming? Does that mean I may change genotypes again? I don't want to go crazy warrior only to find out it may change again. This is exciting to have changes. I need to go back and look at my new food lists again.

WarriorInNM - nothing has changed yet for me except last night when I logged on there was a sentence saying that my SWAMI was being edited as of 1:21 p.m., Sept. 20, 2011. Looked today, but no changes. My original SWAMI shows me as 44% explorer, how did you get percentages for the other genotype? I intuitively think I have gatherer %'s in there, but don't know the actual #. Perhaps it the blood type A's that are being tweaked at the moment as the changes mentioned thus far as from the A's? It will be interesting to see if there are changes for me; I never thought about it until now but I wonder if for some nothing much will change? We'll just have to wait and see won't we!

You only get the % of the Genotype it labels you. Some people are on the cusp between 2 or more different gentoypes, and a few "minor" changes can change their genotype, which then comes with its own %.

Thanks for that Ruthie! I can put that question out of my mind to rest.

The psychic teacher

This literally made me .  Good one!  

I had the % from when swami had me as an explorer, then I got the % when it switched me to warrior.

I have had my type changed again!!  Now I am a Teacher again.  

I am going to check again tomorrow, hopefully my sanity will still be with me and this will just be a dream.

When your (I'm speaking to everyone who's status has changed recently) status has changed from one "type" to another, do your food lists also change dramatically?

Howdy Teacher!!  

I'm going to go log into mine now.

Mine used to change back and forth between Explorer and Teacher depending on very minor changes, but now it comes out as Explorer no matter what, which is good because the Teacher diet doesn't work for me

Quoted from Drea

When your (I'm speaking to everyone who's status has changed recently) status has changed from one "type" to another, do your food lists also change dramatically?

Yes, huge difference for me.

I lost chicken livers as a superfood and wound up with lamb, which had been a neutral.

Remember me complaining about being allergic to eggs, dairy, wheat and gluten grains.

Eggs which were superfoods became neutral.....Most wheat became neutral....most gluten
grains are now neutral and yet I didn't tell SWAMI anything new about myself.

All my diamond berries became neutral...I've got a really weird group of fruits....most I've
never tasted in my life....Most are uncommon wild berries that aren't readily available where
I live.  Maybe as jam, but not as food.

Fish didn't change all that much....Minor changes there.

My grains went down to 2 portions per day....which is no big deal.

My live foods went to 5 cups from 6 cups.

My condiments didn't change much.

Dairy for the most part changed in minor ways. I got ricotta and mozarella back to superfoods.
They were Teacher toxins...

Teacher diet didn't work for me at all....THe longer I followed it, the more Explorer "issues' I
started to have.  Allergic to foods I didn't eat for so long when I followed the BTD, to airborne pollen, trees, weeds, mold. Oddly enough these were the very issues the BTD cleared up for me.
THe Teacher diet brought all these issues back...and made me appear to be overly sensitive
to my environment.  I became the canary in a coal mine on the Teacher's diet...Took me 3 years
and each month I just became more reactive.

In the past 2 months I had slipped back slowly to the A diet....but now Explorer diet has taken
away most of my soy....which was the one food I never did that great on when I followed the A
diet. I always upped my poultry instead of eating soy....and now I've got a whole bunch of
strange poultry....grouse, squab, quail, partridge, ostrich...foods I've never tasted and not sure
I can find them locally.  But still, got turkey as a superfood.  Poultry is now 2x a week. My
portions changed somewhat.

So the answer to your question "yes, my diet looks drastically different, especially the proteins"
and the foods I know don't work for me seemed to have dropped down to neutral status.

I think I will be happy with these new foods.

I went from 42% Teacher to 41% Explorer...I changed my avatar to Explorer but not printing out my new diet until all the changes are done.

Like you, I don't want to see my food list change again...although I agree...it is exciting to have
changes.

Now I'm wondering if the changes that happened to my swami weren't because of me putting in a new weight (which is what happened a couple of months ago). My "type" didn't change (I'm still a Warrior), but my food list changed...cabbage went from an avoid to neutral, for example, and turkey went from a neutral to a bennie). I had my old bennies and avoids laminated, and saved the cards, so I can compare.

Changes users make in the data on the intake form are normally what creates changes in diet plans.

The changes* in the next release of SWAMI Xpress are already complete in SWAMI GenoType.

These changes have not resulted in major changes to my client's diet plans.

Changes elsewhere in the product are much easier to note than in the diet plans:

The color of the data intake form changed.

Some terms changed. For instance, people now have a "Epigenotype Superfamily" rather than a "GenoType"

The meal planner has a new interface and is substantially enhanced.

*There could be things I do not know about.

---

I think their is one exception to the above.  The new SWAMI Xpress release should include new recipes, which I think are not yet in SWAMI GenoType (my information may not be complete).  But the presence are absence of new recipes does not affect the calculation engine that generates the diet plans.

Yeah, you people who are getting changes, are you changing some kind of input?  Because my list stayed the same last night.  But I didn't change anything myself.  

JJR I think the changes occur more often when you are close to another geno 33 1/3 if 44% less chance perhaps although i suppose you could be 43 % of one 43 % of another and just 14 of the last like me. but is 43 33 24 change would be rare.
