Few members of the RBTI Yahoo group are aware of how long I have prayed for a comprehensive compendium of all the RBTI materials out there. My own efforts to develop such a tool kept falling short. One day the thought came that perhaps there was someone in the community who could undertake (and finish) the job. And then young Joel Horst came into view.

Carey Reams had a few choice words in Choose Life Or Death (page 53): "The Reams Biological Theory of Ionization is the practice of health through diet. The practice of medicine is the practice of illness through drugs and surgery."
Have you ever noticed that people are so brainwashed with current drug-think that they view mineral supplements as drugs? In other words, they may have a complaint or "symptom" and they look through the various minerals seeking a magic pill to "cure" their "symptom." I observe exactly that and I see it a lot. People are so swept up into the idea that drugs "do something" that they cannot see the forest because of all the trees in their way. Rex, you said.... "Min-Col is nothing more than the
calcium-rich purified remains of marine organisms" Doesn't Reams say that Min-Col is the essence of bone meal? He did say that. Being as "bone meal" is where they steam off the fat from slaughtered animal bones and then grind up what is left, I suspect he mis-spoke, unless to him "bone meal" meant the remains of ancient marine organisms. At the bottom of each RBTI message from the Yahoo server is this note and link.
FUN RBTI QUIZ: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11543729/RBTIquiz.exe If you click it, a short quiz will download as an executable file. When you open the quiz, you will be shown 20 simple random RBTI questions (from a current database of about 200). After you finish, you will see your score and the CORRECT answers to each question. You can then take another test of another 20 random questions if you wish. The questions are drawn from general RBTI literature and should be a big help to each of you in building your basic RBTI knowledge. So how do the thoughts and ideas of a man finally make it into the Quackwatch spotlight? Obviously, this is a first step in being singled out by the American Medical Association as a target. Interestingly, Carey Reams, although mentioned, has never made the cut while one of his wayward students, Gary Martin, rates a full page. Wayward, you say? Yes, while Martin did attend at least one of Reams earlier classes, he has long since moved on to his own thing which has earned him a "bogus" rating from some of the more staunch RBTIers.
Actually, Reams tended to find himself in the sights of local medical societies instead of the national AMA. This usually came about when too many of their patients started preferring gentler, kinder treatments that zeroed in on bodily dysfunction via analysis, rather than diagnostic guessing. While Reams steadily denied he was a medical doctor ("neither am I posing as one"), he did have an ego and was not so inclined to turn away a loving "Doc" now and then from a grateful client. Guess what?---that can get you charged. Trying to explain away the charge in a courtroom to a letter-of-the-law judge is a tough job. And only a foolish person would think that having one or more people testify of the incredible help you got from "Doc Reams" might mitigate "practicing medicine without a license". No, that merely proves the charging document is true. You can almost see the glee in the eye of an AMA representative sitting in the back of the courtroom as a prosecutor lets the defense make the prosecution case. From my seat it appears that if you truly wish to help your fellow man through dietary reform, then the most safe path to avoid the wrath of the AMA is to openly practice Unlicensed Practice. This book has merit even if you are a licensed MD and you wish to use urine/saliva analysis in lieu of the long-dominant cut/burn/poison paradigm urged by such as the PDR. Yes, there is a way to help your fellow man but you are not apt to avoid trouble if you think you can simply photocopy a form in a book and use it as a shield against laws originally intended to keep you from competing with an established money machine. Do your homework. I've been searching around for rules on how to determine who might be good candidates for going to a retreat. So far I have found the Reams criteria and the Manthei/CHEM table, which are similar but not exactly the same.
If you wish to take a look, you can click this link. Hopefully, some of the more RBTI savvy will study these and submit other thoughts. An interesting point of view is that many "candidates" are so very... Most folks who venture into our little internet corner are ailing and also wary of the drugging scene. Only a few will understand right off the bat that all disease is some form of mineral deficiency. Actually, they have had it hammered into their heads that sickness is a DRUG deficiency. We are talking quite a leap and I'm never surprised when a couple of people quickly bail out because the chasm is just too vast.
More than likely, our new visitors have a lifetime of being taught that all food is the same and that what you or I eat doesn't have anything to do with one's health. Although some have abandoned the drug scene (legal or illegal) because of the harm they have witnessed and the dependency they wish to avoid, a few will only rise to the level where they start thinking that this or that "secret" fruit cures this or that disease and some "rare" juice is the remedy for arthritis---or whatever. In other words, they will climb out of the void---but only so far. No one will force feed them anything here, but they do now stand a chance of learning, starting with the idea that worn out soil with scarce minerals produces food of nutritional nothingness and that there are several ways out of the wilderness. One, actually the best, is to grow or find food of superior nutrition---the foods that their ancestors took for granted. Trust those of us who have been here a while. That is one tough task. An alternate path is what RBTI is all about. If you decide to walk our straight and narrow way, you will learn that you gain most of the benefit of superior high Brix foods by eating a very wide diet---a great variety---buffered with small amounts of special condiments and carefully selected mineral supplements. Both ways out of the jungle require proper water drinking and digestive assistance from the common ordinary lemon. When the simple RBTI urine and saliva analysis shows improvement, you will have your proof that the old dead or dying cells clogging your body are being steadily replaced with fresh new high energy cells. You should experience that "aha" moment, as so many before you have, when you realize that "disease"---whatever disease is---is going out with the yucky and useless. It is a good moment. Of course, there are the few who go back to the comfort of a pill for every trouble. It's OK. I received private feedback about the blog article on RBTI retreats. Some described total satisfaction. Some wanted to substitute other ways for the known particulars of certain retreats. And, yes, some total dissatisfaction was reported.
I do not think that any retreat will ever do EVERYTHING exactly as Reams would have wanted it done, but there is the old story about him getting tears of joy in his eyes when he visited the resort that Elinor Barnes worked in up Massachusetts way. Perhaps if we move away from wanting to see 100% Reams and think more in terms of a passing grade we will see existing retreats flourish and new retreats spring up. Good retreats certainly are needed. The evaluation form I am working on is intended to allow any retreat client to give the rest of us valuable feedback so that we can make better choices. Although it is not programmed on a 1-5 star (5 maximum) concept, those who have chosen which book they may or may not care to read by looking over the Amazon reviews will understand. Retreat stay reviews from clients can be as valuable to the retreats as it is to prospective clients. The retreat operator who does not notice that they are getting bad reviews and make necessary changes is short-sighted. You can click this link if you wish to participate in the design. The completed survey will be offered to all. Over the years as moderator of the RBTI forum I have had many, many requests from desperately ill people who are looking for a Reams-retreat. While I am reasonably confident that there are many "private" retreats where a consultant takes a client under their wing, I only know of three that openly speak of their ability to offer the full RBTI program to all comers.
Before naming them, I should explain my understanding of the RBTI program and how I personally would expect to be treated. Obviously, I would want to be frequently tested and fasted if appropriate. I would want my urea determined and kept in the rebuilding range. If I were diabetic, I would expect even more frequent testing so as to avoid the possibility of diabetic coma should my body release stored insulin too quickly. Not only would I expect a wide variety of foods at meals, I would expect them to be slanted such that I personally got more of the calcium types I might be deficient in and less of the calcium types I was overloaded with. Also, whether diabetic or not, I would like green drink a couple of times each day with the hope that my pancreas would continue to strengthen. If supplements beyond MinCol and Algavim were required in addition to diet, I would expect serious understanding by the dispenser as far as type or quantity and I would anticipate automatic Vitamin C if my urine were alkaline or Vitamin D should it be acidic. Let there be no doubt that I would expect my water and my lemon water on a rigorous schedule exactly like I would expect scheduled medicines were I in a hospital. So few people fully understand the powerful qualities of washing away deleterious cell waste and many certainly don't comprehend just how effective fresh lemon juice is in scouring out or digesting nasty things in dark corners of the body. And, yes, if my urine Brix couldn't seem to settle into the proper range, I would appreciate the proper amount of rotated added sugars. As a clean colon is important to RBTI, I would love for any retreat to not only be able to arrange or direct me to such service while a guest, but to actually insist I start with either a local professional or home self-service before reporting for my stay. There is no need to mention quiet peaceful sleeping quarters or a just as quiet and peaceful daytime meeting area where the consultant could talk to me about how well my numbers were holding or improving. There would be no reason to talk about my rapidly disappearing disease(s) as RBTI is not about that, or diagnosis, or doctoring. Instead, I would like the consultant to talk at length about how God created my body perfect and that I can expect it to remain perfect if I simply "go by the numbers." And if my numbers did not remain in the healing range with the above care, I would expect my consultant to quietly but firmly urge me to look within my soul for unclean spiritual matters that might be restricting the flow of my life juices. Actually, on second thought, I would appreciate my consultant reviewing my spiritual state every time we met. Finally, once the consultant really knew me and realized that my numbers showed I was no exception to the RBTI standard, I would want them to review my ways and habits in my work-a-day life so they could identify those things I might improve to stay in the healing range upon return to home. Currently, there are three retreats where I think a client might get the care discussed above (and more). In no particular order they are: Carey Reams restored a lot of cancer patients to health without drugs, radiation, or surgery. What is not recorded is the percentage of those cases that were breast cancer. I've often wondered how his theories might address today's exploding epidemic. Those who have studied RBTI know his thoughts about "new cell, wearing out cell, dead cell." They understand that the body must break down the dead cells or remove them unless we want cancer in our lives. So we have solid cell debris fragments that must flush out and we have dissolved cell-remains urea that must be similarly washed away. It causes me to reflect that even though Reams never said a word against bras, I would have to be dense to not understand that the devices put his healing methods at severe disadvantage. Even the beginning farmer knows that if you inhibit drainage, the swamp builds and cattails flourish---cattails being a stand-in for the radiation/chemo/surgery crowd waiting for your money.
