Egos are insane.  They cannot be satisfied.  For instance, a woman or
man can be told how attractive they are by their spouse for 1,000 days
in a row.  If the praise does not come on day 1,001 the recipient
immediately wonders what is "wrong".

A bit of examination shows that nothing is wrong with the world, but
everything is wrong with the ego. That ego within routinely urges
people to lie, cheat, or even steal---all to protect its constant
arrogance and insecurity.  As stated, the ego is insane.

Learning, practicing, and benefiting from RBTI does not automatically
make one immune to the ego insanity.  Quite the contrary, those who
employ RBTI to become stronger and stronger, both physically and
mentally, sometimes find their ego keeping exact pace with the
vitality increase. The casual observer might even think that the ego
gains faster than the body being restored to health.

Whereas in the past those first taking up an RBTI lifestyle may have
been too weak and exhausted to have a say, the ego-burdened find it
all too easy to use the powers of the new "me" to jump on the words
and actions of others.  The casual observer can almost predict that if
someone shares a hard-learned RBTI rule and another has the temerity
to point to a shortcoming or misunderstanding, then the fur & feathers
will fly.

Much of this was once summed by an astute RBTI forum member who,
watching an open clash of over-inflated egos on the bulletin board,
commented that "RBTI types tend to eat their young."

Dr. Reams taught much about the calming influence of proper calcium
absorption. Actually, his RBTI guidelines speak to all mineral
imbalances, but he was quick to single out how proper calcium can make
the hardest person in the world to live with become as sweet as can
be. It is a pity that he didn't recommend a specific to calm a raging
and self-righteous ego.

Those who truly follow the RBTI program for a lengthy period tend to
grow up. Yes, grow up---as in becoming an adult. A self-aware adult
learns to guard against those crazy egotistic rushes and to quickly
rein in the insane one when it acts up. Adults understand that
apologies should flow quickly if wounds and scars are to heal.
Perhaps we can go further here and imply that those who have trouble
being an adult may be providing proof that they are not following the
program.

RBTI stands alone in the world. I am reminded of a relative's comment
about his company being "poor and helpless". No one in the company
was allowed to be exasperated with another because they were without
allies and defenseless against consumption by competitors. Similarly,
RBTI can ill-afford to have internal squabbling over an un-crossed "t"
or missing period. The drug dealers, in particular, love angry
squabbles as they provide "proof" that RBTI is a bit nutty.

However, correcting the misunderstanding of a fellow Reams adherent
is not squabbling, if done in a civilized manner. Even though we are
all trying to follow the same protocols given us by Reams, we all
sometimes get it wrong. When another steps up to help our
understanding we should welcome the assistance, not turn it over to
the insane one for bitter rebuttal. Well-meaning criticism can be our
biggest friend.

And we all need friends.]]>Tue, 04 May 2021 11:59:06 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/fear-and-anxietyDear Reader, I enjoy your curious mind. You asked about anxiety and panic attacks.

I tend to think of those two in terms of FEAR. Remove fear and the mentioned two should dissipate.

Reams made this statement in the Anatomy 1 transcript (which everyone here has access to)

Another thing is anxiety. Anxiety.  Fear of the future.  Which is low calcium.

My mind visualizes a see-saw: as calcium goes down, fear goes up and as calcium goes up, fear goes down.

None of this directly deals with the person who has spent a lifetime of self-generating their anxiety, panic, paranoia, restlessness, or whatever. However, my money says all those terribles will start fading when they let some of their fear go as they build up their calcium reserve.

For instance, if your urine pH tends to run a little too alkaline (usually from consistently eating too many calcium-oxide foods) then a glass of buttermilk or some pickle juice can give the body the cations needed to rebalance. But what do you do with the person who decides they really like buttermilk and consumes a glass every day? The only thing I know is to quietly whisper, "Hey, dummy, you are drinking too much."

2. Similarly, procedures have a place but too much or many is not good. For instance, colonics are a good thing for folks with higher urine pH. There is even a basic formula to help you judge when too much is TOO MUCH. For instance, you should stop when your urine pH settles into a proper value. But what do you do with the person who decides they like the clean feeling of the process or who falls in love with the therapist and returns just to visit? Again, I only know to quietly tell them, "Hey dummy, that's enough."

3. And we shouldn't leave out overeating. Reams students sooner or later have to wake up to the reality that some high-quality food is rich in life-enhancing substances while lightly saddled with life-harming material. As soon as they grasp that, they start understanding that the vast majority of their SAD comes from low-quality ersatz "food" that is composed mostly of substance that the body must expend considerable energy to excrete or overcome. You ask what that has to do with overeating? How about everything. Talk to a farmer who understands that a healthy cow who is satisfied with two bales of great quality hay must eat six bales of low quality junk hay to keep going and they won't keep going all that long. However, they will get fat and lots of farmers sell by weight. So think a moment. Reams suggests keeping your urine Brix between one and two. When you start sourcing higher quality food and being satisfied with eating less, that urine Brix (total carbohydrate) will move where it should be. 

The payoff of the above is that your brain will start working better when you get your diet in order with the right amounts of what is needed. Too much of a good thing...anything...will forever be TOO MUCH.

Rex Harrill]]>Thu, 25 Feb 2021 23:16:13 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/all-disease-is-a-mineral-deficiencyHow many times have ordinary humans read the above line and missed the point. Most think the takeaway is that if we find the missing mineral related to any disease and supply it, the disease will fly away.

Well, yes and no. Most diseases will do that, but not all diseases in all cases. For instance, an abundance of manganese-rich foods for the building of new sex-organ cells as proper water drinking washes out the old, fits nicely for such as prostate or breast trouble. Cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy seemingly fit not at all. Those and others are generally considered "birth defects." Personally, I think conception mistakes is a better label.

I met "dead doctors don't lie" famous Dr. Wallach many years ago at a farm conference. We got to talking about how if a properly mineralized sperm joined a properly mineralized ovum, a zero-defect baby would result. 

"I guarantee it," he said. When I commented how lucky an expectant couple would be to get him involved, he cut me off with, "Oh, no...they have to come to me 6 months ahead so I can examine, then modify, the diets of both." He also assured me the child would be sexually sure and that such as Down Syndrome, as well as 30 or 40 other so-called genetic diseases are actually mineral deficiency cases.

Wallach's "Epigenetics: The Death of the Genetic Theory of Disease Transmission" is almost 600 pages of intoxicating stuff to those who truly understand Reams' constant harping that all disease is a mineral deficiency.https://www.amazon.com/Epigenetics-Genetic-Theory-Disease-Transmission/dp/1590791495/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=wallach+epigenetics&qid=1614118310&sr=8-1

Everybody here knows a 2 legged stool will fall over. It takes 3 legs for stability and here is our third.

Dr. Richard Olree focused on minerals for the genetic code. ACRES USA has a pretty good overview book. I only met Olree once, courtesy of Dr. Littleton, but I quickly understood that what he taught backed up Dr. Reams and his "all disease is a mineral deficiency.
"https://bookstore.acresusa.com/products/minerals-for-the-genetic-code?_pos=1&_sid=117577b1e&_ss=r

However, some may want to watch videos to get an idea and YouTube has plenty if you type in Richard Olree.

Many will say, "How in the world can I absorb all this and put it to work." The easy answer is to seek out high Brix food, take your Min-Col, plus Algavim, and keep those RBTI numbers lined up. Then you can wait for your perfect descendants to thank you.

Rex Harrill]]>Wed, 14 Oct 2020 14:23:34 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/elephants-mining-for-mineralsIf you are into RBTI, you probably are aware that the basic (or grunt) work calls for proper water drinking to wash out the constantly collecting nasties as a major step. 

The next step is to seek out and consume the substances that are used to build new cells to replace the worn-out. 

A key part of that process is to eat a significantly varied diet so that the body has a chance to absorb all the minerals needed. If you understand plants, you can appreciate that plant A is richer in substance P {or L or G or whatever) than another plant type. 

A classic example is that asparagus, turnips, parsnips, celery, and Min-Col are rich in the much-needed arsenic for the heart. Other plants are richer in different minerals and the varied diet helps us mine them out if our digestive juices are strong (proper pH).

But what do you do when the plants are so devoid of minerals that you can't get what is needed from your diet?

Supplement, of course. RBTI has a focus on Min-Col plus Algavim for average cases with special supplements in some cases, mainly to get the calciums high enough.

If you understand all that, you may love this video that shows elephants mining underground for minerals because the vegetation they get is from leached out soil.

​]]>Wed, 16 May 2018 16:15:41 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/handwriting-on-the-wallAlmost every RBTI person here is familiar with that old standard, "the more your urine foams, the higher your nitrogen numbers."

Below is a quote from Joanne Fontenot's "No Time to Die."

"Recent studies indicate that "cancer" patients, because of a lack of anionic enriched foods and minerals, fail to digest proteins. Doctors can test for this by a method discussed later in this book. The average reader will notice this by an excessive amount of "foam" or "suds" on his urine. There should be none! I have found that most medical doctors are surprised to learn of the relationship of cancer to undigested proteins." 

Now and then I shake up some urine in a 6" tall graduate to see how much foam I can generate. I am getting the feeling that 7/7 urea usually gives about 10% foam. This is experimental stuff, so anybody who decides that "10% foam means 7/7 urea" is an idiot who needs to be drummed out of RBTI. 

However, I do look forward to the day that several busy consultants in different parts of the world start accumulating data and build a table of how to obtain a rough urea reading by agitating urine so as to measure the foam height. To me that would be real science like Reams taught.

Why is this important. Well, gee---has anyone noticed the headlines about "acid attacks" in various countries? Can you not see the day a tiny bottle of RBTI sulfuric acid reagent might be considered a weapon---perhaps even a terrorist tool? Can you see yourself trying to explain your innocence to an angry judge who has witnessed more than one acid-scarred face? 

We need better alternatives and I don't mean the $500 ammonia or nitrate meters sold by PikeAgri. I have talked before about using the ammonia and nitrate test sticks that aquarium operators favor, but I seem to remember someone pointing out they are not as accurate as the near century old Reams/LaMotte procedures. So what? For instance, using a bathroom scale to estimate a two pound package when your postal scale is on the fritz does not make anything wrong. It will do exactly what you think: help you estimate.

Although I will be staying with the acid reagent procedures for now, I do pray that some bright mind---perhaps a member of this list---will get to work and provide a much safer alternative. The "handwriting" really is up on the wall. Who knows? You may prevent a lot of heart attacks and save a lot of lives.

Rex Harrill]]>Mon, 25 Sep 2017 09:52:39 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/dominant-calciumsDr. Reams early on taught his students that the optimal human body required "some" of each of the 6 beneficial calcium kinds to be available to the liver each day. Indeed, this is the starting point for the liver to produce the 5+ billion enzyme types required to maintain perfect health.

Many of his students assumed that meant they should exclusively work with supplements to achieve the goal. However, many of those same students failed to recognize that various foods have higher or lower contents of those same calcium groups depending on the specific food and also depending on the quality level of the food.

It is well known that Dr. Reams never tired of reminding his students that they should constantly seek out foods higher in overall mineral composition as denoted by higher Brix values. During prodding at the Advanced Anatomy class held in 1984, Dr. Reams shared some nominal calcium type "prominence" values of particular foods he had discovered in over 50 years of research. This seemed a logical outgrowth of his constantly shared information about particular foods being known for particular minerals such as beets being richer in copper, asparagus richer in arsenic, carrots richer in iodine, etc.

This research trove was later organized by Michael Olszta into a single page chart that is of great use to the student trying to minimize certain calcium type overloads and at the same time maximize certain calcium type deficiencies. For example, food "A" may contain more of a particular calcium type (with lesser quantities of other calcium types), while food "B" may have a different calcium type dominance (with lower quantities of other calcium types following).

The wise student usually soon realizes that there is little economy in continuing to eat too much of particular foods richer in certain calcium types at the same time as they are forced to buy supplements to compensate for the lack of other more needed calcium types.

Rex Harrill]]>Sat, 15 Apr 2017 11:22:36 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/a-quote-from-dr-arden-andersens-first-book​"Ideally (since it is the foundation element upon which all else is built), when calcium is sufficiently present, the biological entity, whether it be a single cell, a plant, an animal or human, is able to discard toxins readily and does not have any magnetic attraction for environmental toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, or drugs." 


The Anatomy of Life & Energy in Agriculture was updated a few years ago and thankfully the above quoted phrase survived. I can't remember whether it was from one of his lectures I attended or from a book where he stressed that a high-Brix plant (i.e., high quality) grown in toxic soil will assay lower in toxic matter than a low-Brix plant (i.e., low quality) grown in organically "clean" soil. 

While we usually keep Reams-Ag and human RBTI separate, serious students can put 2 and 2 together. They should understand that the calcium-rich human subject with near perfect RBTI numbers can eat something with no distress that will just about do in their friend who ignores pH-established calcium needs to go through life with miserable RBTI numbers.

It is all about selective assimilation.]]>Sat, 11 Feb 2017 03:32:48 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/a-few-words-about-gmoThe dictionary describes "genome" as: the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism. The complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism.

That definition expands to cover the confusion offered to nature by scientists and their ever-pressing mission to somehow improve lifeforms via GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) processes. To listen to them, they will not be satisfied until they can modify life to the point it can be born, grow, and not age on a diet of nothing at all. Think "sunset technology" here and rest assured that nature will effortlessly continue to squash their lofty plans.

Most, if not all, authors quoted in the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization literature are uniformly unimpressed with GMO. They stand united in viewing lifeforms coming down the biological ages as fully perfect in every sense. They have unwavering trust that when those biologically perfect lifeforms are conceived and allowed to grow with the full spectrum of minerals needed for their respective kind, or order, they will progress through their lives unaffected by germ, parasite, or disease.

The RBTI community views all disease as a mineral deficiency. Their response when shown a gene sequence which claims to identify a "disease" is that if the appropriate minerals had been available at the time of the gene creation, a higher order of genetic expression would have developed.

Although there are several diseases, plant or animal, such as wheat rust or muscular dystrophy, that strongly resist mid-life reversal, almost all life forms will find health if their required building materials are present during seed, sperm, or egg development. Good parentage and good food (following a good birth) is to be devoutly desired and is absolutely our heritage. ​

​Rex Harrill]]>Wed, 08 Feb 2017 10:49:39 GMThttp://www.brixman.com/blog-page/calcium-potassium-and-the-supplement-bottleI am sometimes asked why we RBTI types seem to always be supplementing with calcium. "Why not potassium, its sister major anion, or other elements?" they say.

There is no doubt that potassium, the major element for the brain, is important. Too little and the possibility of brain tumor appears. We don't actually test for potassium availability, but low ureas when in the earlier stages of the healing range can signal a problem. On the other hand, too high a urea reading requires equal wariness because of the risk of heart attack. That concern takes the joy out of an automatic "Yay! I am getting lots and lots of potassium."

So where might we be getting too much potassium? Dr. Reams entrusted the agricultural and animal husbandry side of RBTI to Dr. Skow, his veterinarian associate of long standing. Those of us who have used a Brixmeter enough to know that 99% of everything we find in a grocery store, fresh or processed, is the lowest possible quality, keep our calcium supplements nearby. Dr. Beddoe even goes so far as to say that he considers modern low-Brix, low-calcium foods "toxic," by their very nature.

But again, "How does it get that way?" Perhaps our answer is in these few words in which Dr. Skow elegantly describes the state of modern agriculture where we can almost visualize need-to-pay-the-rent farmers over-fertilizing abused soil with growth inducing potassium. The reference is to livestock. The wisdom applies to all animals.

-------Mainline Farming for Century 21--------
Potassium is essential for growth, but it is easy to fertilize with too much. Potassium in soil is fairly soluble. Calcium is fairly insoluble. Nature has ordered microorganisms into the soil to manage the ratios. But when chemicals of organic synthesis annihilate that valuable livestock in the soil, plants substitute potassium for calcium, always exacerbating disease problems, always setting up the ultimate embarrassment. Cows go down on bad feed. The classic signs and symptoms are bad kidneys. Hogs become arthritic. Dairy animals [cows] get mastitis and somatic cell counts go through the roof.  
---------------------------------------------------

Most readers can decipher "go down." Some will use Skow's words as enough reason to study RBTI.
