This software sounds interesting. Can you provide more information on it?
It’s called SWAMI Xpress—don’t ask me what the letters stand for. (It’s actually web-based; what you’re buying is a passcode that’s physically shipped to you.)
Edit to add: here’s a sample diet report (PDF) from the software, in case you’re wondering what its output looks like.
Can one use it alone at home or does it require fancier tests that one would involve doctors to handle?
ABO blood type and secreter status are the only tests that have to be sent off for lab work; the rest can be done entirely at home if you have someone to help with the measurements and observations. (For example, the PROP test is a blinded taste test, so it’s easier if somebody else administers it; other tests require inspecting the shape of your teeth, measuring the angle of your jaw, etc., which are very difficult to do by yourself.)
My wife already knew her ABO/secretor results, but she bought the home genotyping kit to get the PROP test strips and fingerprinting kit. There’s enough stuff in the kit to do at least two people—it comes with a lot of taste strips, and a bunch of the stuff (like the jaw-measuring protractor) can be reused for as many people as you like.
The book has some shortcuts you can do for a quicker but lower-accuracy grouping, using a smaller set of measurements; the software is supposed to basically take more factors into account in food selection than what can be done with the six generic charts in the book.
(As I understand it, a person can have markers from more than one group, so a weighted scoring system is used to rate the markers.)
