Quoted from paul clucas

The Explorer diet in the Genotype book is a massive compromise designed to be suitable for the great variety of Explorers.  Explorers are inherently weird in a number of different ways, so sensible rules that cover most Explorers are difficult to say the least.

Quoted from Possum

Yeah they sure are... I sometimes think the Explorer genotype (in particular) would be better split into different bloodtypes...(but I guess that would defeat the purpose of having a GT )

Quoted from C_sharp

There are two SWAMI versions: SWAMI Xpress where Dr. D. is the autopilot flipping the switches for you and SWAMI GenoType where you visit a practitioner who configures SWAMI and adjusts the settings in SWAMI GenoType to meet the needs of a particular client.

Quoted from ABJoe

In SWAMIExpress, there are many more values affecting the results, so even though the Genotype family changes, the food lists may not change that much.

Quoted from paul clucas

This is why we should encourage the Explorers we meet here on the board to get on the Swami diet.  Swami opened up my food choices and made it possible to lose weight - for me it was worlds better than both the BTD and the GTD.

The scale leaves you with no doubt as to the effectiveness of what you are currently doing.

Quoted from explorer7

Beef and Lamb are diamonds on my swami but I feel better when I eat the lamb. But I eat more beef cause I like its taste better. They both satisfy me longer then any other food source it seems and I crave them more too!

Patty,
Did you try to run the swami with explorer as an override?

Quoted from explorer7

We all are unique and a collection of all those who came b4 us in our journey. We are viruses that have beat the odds and survived. The more you learn the the more you want to know. I believe I read that Dr. D. would have liked to break the explorer category into 4 different diets but the publisher wanted to keep it simpler for the public so he compromised. That was when it clicked for me that we are all unique in some ways and it is not rigid as I was imagining which makes perfect sense because evolution is clearly random caused by good viruses making slight changes in our evolution.What's amazing is how minute the differences are and it is easy to see why it has taken man so long to understand it.

Quoted from ABJoe

As I recall, Paula, Dr. Nash ran her SWAMI in the office.

Quoted from Seraffa

How bizzare that sounds.....perhaps this was what people were trying to "get at" when I would ask them "34% hunter and 38% (whatever) ......you're a mix of BOTH?"
Ok now I can see the relevance!   AHA!

Although GT4 Explorer was not what SWAMI Xpress would have calculated as your exact GenoType, here are the findings which are often seen in this GenoType.

Calculator Points:
•     Torso to Leg Ratio /Characteristic of Explorer.
◦     Your upper leg longer than your lower leg.
•     Ring to Index Finger Ratios /Characteristic of Explorer.
◦     Your index-ring finger ratio in asymmetrical to your gender.
•     Your ABO blood type (O) is often found in Explorer GenoTypes.
•     Non-secretor status is a strong marker for Explorer GenoType.
Strength Testing, First Pass
•     Brachycephalic cranial index /Characteristic of Explorer.
•     Incisor shoveling /Characteristic of Explorer.
•     Index finger ridge pattern asymmetry /Characteristic of Explorer.
•     PROP super taster /Characteristic of Explorer.
Strength Testing, Second Pass
•     MBI JP(P) Function suggestive of GenoType /Characteristic of Explorer.
•     MBI SN(N) Function suggestive of GenoType /Characteristic of Explorer.
•     MBI TF(F) Function suggestive of GenoType /Characteristic of Explorer.
Ridge patterns asymmetrical to blood group /Characteristic of Explorer.

Quoted Text

G6PD is critical to the body because it enables the production of a critical antioxidant called glutathione. In addition to powerful detoxification effects in the liver, glutathione protects red blood cells against damage caused by certain drugs and foods. Explorers often have trouble clearing foreign or man-made chemicals from their blood. This clearing process is called acetylation. Efficient acetylation helps drugs become more effective, and detoxifies cancer-causing substances. GT4 Explorers have problems detoxifying drugs, carcinogens, and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means, such as pesticides, fertilizers, and hydrocarbons. Because of these issues, Explorers can be quite chemically sensitive, and often react negatively to the ‘typical doses’ of drugs, antibiotics, and even vitamins and minerals. When using these medicines they should always start with the lowest doses and gradually work their way upward.

If you are an Explorer you can modify the genes that cause poor detoxification in your own lifetime -- but even better, you can take steps to change the forecast for generations to come. With the right diet and lifestyle for your GenoType, you can be caretakers of both the young and the old. Perhaps you will be surprised to find out that food sensitivities and toxicity are best treated by the proper foods for one’s body, not just avoiding the wrong ones.

Quoted from Patty H

Part two of my SWAMI Xpress Explorer Genotype:




This is really fascinating because I am really high in mercury and lead and extremely low in glutathione.  I have been supplementing with glutathione for months now after testing showed I don't clear toxins.  I even had to go off the bio-identical hormones because I was not clearing the estrogen.

Patty,
Did your food lists change as an explorer?  Any interesting changes there?

Quoted from 14442

I would not want to switch to be an Explorer personally, would not want to give up my meat and fish.

Quoted from Patty H

Sahara, I ran my SWAMI as an Explorer and I got about the same red meat and even more fish!  Go figure    No need to give up anything.  I'm just not sure what difference it would make.
