Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Just so you know: I have the book and was hoping to join the group to help me figure out which Genotype I am. However, the moderator will NOT let you join if you don't already know your genotype. I was really disappointed in that. I'm hoping someone starts another, more friendly group.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 If you want to watch the YouTube videos and measure your leg and torso lengths and your upper and lower leg lengths and your index and ring finger lengths, I can look up your genotype for you based on that information and your blood type and secretor status if you know that. You'll want the book for the food lists and general information, but you could get started until you get the book. The food lists hopefully will eventually be on the website, but they don't seem to be on yet.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I appreciate what you are saying; I like openness and money is a big issue. I also think I understand where Nina is coming from. I have the book and I'm willing (unless it gets overwhelming) to answer questions and look up genotypes if anybody wants to take the necessary measurements and give me the information. The genotypes are based on a number of things, including blood type, secretor status, Rh status, and a number of physical measurements, which need to be done in certain ways. You really need to watch the YouTube videos to learn how they want the measurements done; it's easy to do them in a different way and end up with inaccurate information. To narrow it down a bit, type Os can only be hunters, gatherers, or explorers. Re: Genotype diet?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I don't think the book talks about children specifically. But that is an interesting question; the measurements the determination is based on will keep changing with children as they grow. The moderator of the GTD group has a daughter and she has determined her daughter's genotype. I will ask her about it and let you know what I find out. Re: Genotype diet?

Dear , I am not sure if I know enough about the gene diet system to comment, but genetics is my field as is constitutional type (involving body proportions among other characteristics). So I can say with confidence that constitutional type is there at birth - so the body proportions are there from the get-go as well. So even though *measurements* change - the ratios are there. As an example my own two sons, both very tall type O blond with blue eyes: One is constitutionally an Arsenicum album (ars-alb) type - he has a long body and very powerful but slender muscles. Longish legs, not too long, and relatively short arms for his body - big feet(size 15.5) and hands. No bum to hold pants up. Overall 6 foot 10. Susceptible to gastric upsets from food. Intelligent, likes to be in control. Artistic rather than gymnastic. Flat feet. All ars-alb features. O pos blood. The older son is a Phosphorus (phos) type - very long legs and very long arms, but not such a long body. Smaller feet (size 13)and hands and overall 6 foot 6. Susceptible to bronchial infections. Very extrovert, clever and very sensitive. Not artistic but very creative and super-agile. Very high arch feet. ...all phos type. O neg blood. The point is that the two boys were BORN with these proportions and constitutional type. We all have our type at birth - as do our pets by the way. For example an Ars-alb cat almost seems to be walking down hill as the arms are shorter than usual, and as with ars-alb humans there is zilch bum flesh - very clear to see on horses for example, who will have the wiry muscles to do long distance running where Phos is more the gymastic and agility type. Phos dog is what you want for agility trials for example. Phos has such long legs that a Phos cat seems " square " from the side - same length legs and back, not longer back than legs like most cats. Although my sons were 3.5 yrs apart there was not a single item of clothing for top or bottom wear or even shoes that I could ever pass down from the long-limbed one with smaller feet to the long-bodied one with big feet :-) Their father is the long bodied type too - I am the long limbed kind.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm really sorry this is happening. Nina really is friendly, but I know this makes it seem like she's not. I would be happy to help you figure out your genotype, but I need the measurements and you really do need to watch the videos on YouTube to know how to take them. The videos are very short; watch the ones about finger measurements, torso and leg lengths, and upper and lower leg lengths. The hard part for me was taking the measurements without help. But I did it. Email me directly if you prefer. RE: Genotype diet? Just so you know: I have the book and was hoping to join the group to help me figure out which Genotype I am.

After I complained here I magically received a joining approval. This morning I got *digest* from the group. I HATE digests and never sign up for them, I have no wish to handle them so it will be deleted unread. Again - it is Nina being controlling. It's for ME to choose whether I want individual mail or digest, not Nina. The default is individual, I did not need it changed on my behalf. I sent an email change request for individual email but I am ready to unsubscribe, I am not in kindergarten, I can make my own basic decisions on what and when to read a book and whether to read individual or digest. This is ridiculous. Controlling other adults is NOT friendly. Nina needs to let list members be the adults they are. (Feel free to forward this to her.) She can set rules or guidelines and they should be up front. Any rule that I have to see digest, and I'm outta there. Any rule that tells me how to spend my money and I am also outta there. Sorry but I am unusually miffed at this controlling attitude. I spend most of my days trying to do what's right for my health AND helping others do likewise. I do not need Nina pulling my strings about it. Will someone PLEASE start a friendly and *welcoming* gene type list as an alternative to the controlling thing on offer?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I don't know why we should not be able to discuss the genodiet here also?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I agree -- why don't we just continue discussing the Genotype diet here? We already discuss things that aren't directly related to the BTD. Yes, I presume there will be variations among us, but what does that really matter? And we all know we are friendly, right? I first need to get up to speed with the book, though. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opens minds, freedom > choice and all that. > > Happy New Year > Everyone !!!! Thank You - and yes I like the idea of discussing the gene related diet issues for us O's here too. Thanks Emm for suggesting it. The fact that we are all O's will make it easier if anything, than mixed in with A, B and AB types as well. If I understand correctly, there are only three possible O types? Are there links to some basic information on the types somewhere? I went to the library today to collect the book (reserved by internet last night). Well, naive me! They tell me that yes I am first in line to get it but that it is " still in catalog " (department I presume) and so it is literally too new and not yet covered, labeled and catalogued and whatever so is not yet in circulation. They'll send an email when it is available - I should expect it to take a week or so. I found a different new book to read meantime but I hope I can find out my gene type somehow too meanwhile. I find gene-related things fascinating - especially as here when they start to confirm homeopathy-knowns as well. I have been seeing relationships between homeopathy knowledge and genetics knowledge for some years now. I suspect each science can learn from the other since the relationships seem fixed and predictable. For example in homeopathy certain foods are known to upset certain constitutional types - I can't wait to see if that correlates with the new gene type diet food issues...... If so there will be more that is predictable from what is currently known. Namaste, Irene PS I see this list also hides its member list from other members, even though addresses are munged by so they can't be " harvested " .

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 << I would be happy to help you figure out your genotype, but I need the measurements and you really do need to watch the videos on YouTube to know how to take them. The videos are very short>> Hi , I just spent three hours downloading three of the videos. Yes they are short but on my oxwagon era dial-up line - well...... so it is the witching hour here already:-) What if you can not get it accurate enough? For me, my sitting height hence torso length - is almost impossible to get right, and I can not say closer than 37 to 37.5 inches for torso when sitting. This has to include inaccuracy for serious overweight too - I do not sit on my bones!!!! Since my height is 74 inches, it matters, as if 37 is right for torso, I am " equal " and if 37.5 is right, torso is a tad longer. The other thing that potentially matters is that my current height is 2 inches less than it used to be due to osteoporosis and age shortening from crushed discs. So MAYBE my torso would be longer if anything....or maybe not. I have a similar problem with leg length - mine are distorted by edema etc and it is so hard to know where to measure from and to exactly. Again I get almost equal measurements. Upper leg about 17 and lower maybe an eighth of an inch less at 16 7/8 inches. I find it interesting - I always thought I had specially long legs - but now they look only equal to torso:-) It's strange to me though how they measure torso because they include neck length (mine is very long) and that can vary independently of body length and leg length as I know for homeopathic constitutional types (of which there are LOTS not just a few as here.) Makes me wonder if neck length can be a confusing factor that might be more carefully addressed at some later point. Or maybe the book covers this - I have not read it yet. At least the fingers were easy for me - my ring fingers are a lot longer. (86mm as opposed to 76mm and you can see my MUCH shorter index fingers a mile away. The difference is less when you measure their way as opposed to just looking - but still enough to leave no doubt. Are others also having results that can go either way? Or am I making assumptions that will fall apart when I get the book I wonder. I presume I'll be hunter or gatherer somehow - as I'm O neg nonsecretor. Something else - being overweight is not necessarily dietary. In my case it is tumors producing hormones - so do I consider myself the way I was before I got this disease (when I was referred to as telephone pole or stork etc - or do I use my current body shape which is almost a hundred more pounds all central from the illness. My instinct is that actually I should use my " normal " body - as opposed to the one distorted by an illness. Maybe I just need to " reverse engineer " it and choose the diet that makes the most sense from personal eating knowledge??? Oh well - it's all interesting and measuring was kinds fun.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi Irene, Yes, it can be difficult to do the measurements and figure out the results. Ties always go to torso, lower legs, and index fingers. Adjusting for osteoporosis would make your torso longer, so it seems pretty clear to me that your torso is longer. The book does not talk about neck length, but that is an interesting point. I would say you would go by your normal body shape. There are a number of tests that are not necessary to determine your genotype, but can help if you're not sure or can't get some of the basic measurements. So it seems to be a matter of take measurements and determine a genotype, consider the other " strength testing " (testing the genotype determination) tests, and then listen to your body about how well the genotype you've come up with works for you. With a longer torso, longer upper legs, longer ring fingers, O neg non secretor, you would be an explorer. If you were a man you would be a hunter. In your case, the upper/lower leg ratio doesn't matter, so you don't need to worry about that. To " strength test " explorer: Rh negative: give yourself 5 points PROP supertaster (propylthiouracil tastes really terrible): 5 points Sensitive to caffeine: 5 points Left handed or ambidextrous: 3 points Square shaped jaw and face (narrow genial angle): 3 points Muscular body type (mesomorph): 3 points Broad, short head shape (brachycephalic): 3 points Index fingers have different finger prints (different patterns: arches, loops, or whorls): 3 points Does that sound like you? Re: Genotype diet? << I would be happy to help you figure out your genotype, but I need the measurements and you really do need to watch the videos on YouTube to know how to take them. The videos are very short>> Hi , I just spent three hours downloading three of the videos. Yes they are short but on my oxwagon era dial-up line - well...... so it is the witching hour here already:-) What if you can not get it accurate enough? For me, my sitting height hence torso length - is almost impossible to get right, and I can not say closer than 37 to 37.5 inches for torso when sitting. This has to include inaccuracy for serious overweight too - I do not sit on my bones!!!! Since my height is 74 inches, it matters, as if 37 is right for torso, I am " equal " and if 37.5 is right, torso is a tad longer. The other thing that potentially matters is that my current height is 2 inches less than it used to be due to osteoporosis and age shortening from crushed discs. So MAYBE my torso would be longer if anything.... or maybe not.
