There was a post on one of the Facebook RBTI sites that found its way to my desk.  His main point seems to be that he thinks RBTI adherents get too hung up on other people's "best practice" with the thought that their particular variant is RBTI itself.

I've seen a lot of people quit RBTI, but I think that's because they get hung up on other people's best practice, thinking that the best practice they tried was RBTI itself -- which it isn't, and never is. RBTI is a theory and a set of numbers representing perfect health. RBTI can be used independently of any 'best practice.' You can use the numbers to test any health program, and likewise, I really believe that the 30 minute drinking schedule is not the only solution. There's more than one way to skin a cat. That said, I've found supplementing the proper calciums according to the urine pH to be invaluable, and getting the urine and saliva pH into line is one of the most straightforward things in RBTI that can easily be added to a person's lifestyle, whatever they're doing. 


I must say that his thought is compelling.  Most RBTI people are aware of the instant squabbling that breaks out when two or more start discussing the details of how to follow RBTI.  The quoted writer seems to be saying that once you recognize the value of the theory then you should use your test numbers to figure out if your own "best practice" can do the job.  My mind flashed back to a few months ago when a gentleman who I consider extremely RBTI-solid told me that he has his clients drink 8 ounces of water when they first get up.  "Yes," I fessed up, "That is what I do, too."

The funny thing is that when someone innocently asks me how to start their daily water drinking regimen, I tell them to drink 4 ounces when they start.  After all, that is what it says in the literature.  And, yes, I tell people who inquire that they should alternate the 4 ounces of plain distilled water with 4 ounces of lemon water each half hour.  What I don't say is that I, myself, often don't.  Hey, I have a life---and it comes first, RBTI second.  If I am hunting, fishing, or working, I do the best I can.

Don't get me wrong.  I make my lemon water each morning right after refilling the distiller and by the end of the day both lemon water and distilled water are gone.  I do a quick check often enough to know that it works for me.

In my mind, the "RBTI rules" are more accurately "RBTI rules for retreats" where someone else is keeping an eye on details.  Your mileage may vary.

Carey Reams worked hard to perfect his Biological Theory of Ionization.  Sincere students well understand that the RBTI represents a radical shift in thinking about "how the body really works."

Reams was not without his hangers-on, look-alikes, and plain counterfeit competitors.  Those that denied his teachings have proven far less troublesome than those who imitated, often without even a basic understanding.  Perhaps the very most problematic were those who took one or two of Reams' classes and then launched themselves into business.

Over the years I have tried to collect as much as possible of the bogus materials and have some of them on this page.  There are those who accuse me of being too harsh, but as of yet I have not found a way to discredit them without simply saying, "bogus."  You, of course, can make up your own mind.  I feel confident that if you study any of the bogus imitations you will soon feel as I do.  The RBTI is complex enough in itself that it has no room to be undermined by variant materials and they should be labeled as such.

Those of you in the RBTI Yahoo newsgroup are familiar with the pop quiz.  The quiz itself is stored in a DropBox.  For benefit of those who may come across the new website but who do not belong to Yahoo I have put a button link they can click if they wish to try it.

I first built the RBTI site at Brixman.com over 12 years ago.  FrontPage was the rage then.  Now it is so obsolete that I can barely use it and support articles are not to be found.  A couple of days ago I found out about Weebly and decided it was time to transfer all those dozens of RBTI pages and articles over. Ultimately the new site will be what you readers say you need. So feel free to comment. I never know what might need clarification, but when someone comments and someone else comments on that comment I will start getting the idea.

And thanks for letting this site serve as one of your RBTI stops.  RBTI is a wonderful science that deserves endless study.
