Those sway stats are fun to look at but you must always keep in mind that they are preselected for what people are told to do for a sway. So most of the blue swayers do egg white and baking soda, but just because they do those things it doesn't mean that's why they are getting boys or that it's the ONLY way to get boys. Egg white may be totally neutral or it may help a ton or it may be that EWCM and Preseed is just as good as egg white...it's just because since egg white is considered the "gold standard" on some of the sites, the people who are the most dedicated to having the "perfect" sway tend to use egg whites. They're also the ones who do everything else they're "supposed" to, to achieve this "perfect sway" and the more obsessed and detail-oriented you get with swaying, the more your testosterone levels go up and that DOES totally sway blue regardless of anything else. As a result, it may be that the people who used egg whites were extra-diligent with their sway in other ways or it may be that the people who were extra-diligent with their sways raised their testosterone or a combo of the two.
Researchers once analyzed rape statistics and found that rapes went up when more ice cream was consumed...that doesn't mean that ice cream causes rape, it turned out that rape and ice cream consumption both increased during the summer months. Sometimes things are simply unrelated coincidence and this is true even when that coincidence is dressed up in fancy science talk.
In terms of a lack of statistics, please understand that this website didn't even go up until Christmas of last year. I wasn't even promoting the Trivers-Willard stuff actively until that point (I mentioned it sometimes on IG but I chose to keep that to a minimum out of respect to Tamara) and I didn't make the HE Diet plan up until well after this site went up. Most people at the beginning were not willing to give up the mineral stuff (and most of them still aren't willing to give it up, which is fine), so it is not at all surprising that there are few successful HE Diet sways yet. I would not give that lack of statistics any weight whatsoever for your decision. You can't expect something that didn't exist until a few months ago to have the same statistical support as something that has been promoted on every other site on the Web for years. It doesn't mean it doesn't work as well as, or better than, the mineral diets.
I promise ya, I ate TONS of calcium with my boys. Plus nuts every day with gobs of magnesium in them. Virtually every failed pink swayer was taking/eating tons of dairy and they still conceived boys despite that. And vice versa because there are plenty of failed blue sways out there too and they were guzzling salt by the barrelful and avoiding dairy like the plague. The calcium cannot be a magic bullet in either direction or there would BE no failed sways. The premise that the FGD is based on, which is that calcium sways pink and sodium sways blue in every animal on the planet from sea slugs through humans, just can't be true or there would be no failed sways, let alone the fact that cultures who eat a lot of dairy have more sons than cultures where they eat very little dairy and are in fact physically incapable of digesting it.
If you don't feel good about calcium, it's fine to limit it, that won't kill a blue sway if you're getting a lot of other nutrients elsewhere and your body just robs your bones and teeth to get the calcium it needs. You see, you're really not depriving your body of calcium at all because if the level of calcium in your blood****** changes in any appreciable way, it means you have a serious medical condition like cancer, kidney disease, and thyroid problems that you can DIE from...it doesn't just change due to changes in your diet regardless of what some other sources say. A healthy person will have a normal amount of calcium in their blood whether they eat tons of calcium or very little because that is how your body is designed to function.
I simply don't want anyone to rely SOLELY on minerals to sway because I think that's not the best sway and I just really really want you guys to get your DG (that is why I waste time doing this rather than crocheting haha). Whatever you do, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater and do/eat things that are not boy friendly in other ways (like Rice Krispies with non-dairy creamer for breakfast, iceberg lettuce salads for lunch, bacon and ham and hot dogs and Campbell's soup for every other meal) in some attempt to chase mineral levels, because those things are terrible for blood sugar and are full of chemicals that will only harm your fertility overall and that is not the way to go for a boy.
