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:

• Home For Health in Kentucky 
  
• Christian Health Education Ministry in Tennessee 
  
• Promise Outreach in Wisconsin

I have often noticed that people find many reasons to avoid the lemon that Reams so clearly thought vital to proper RBTI.  Aside from the fact that some are too cheap to buy them, many people have claimed an "allergy".  Why they cannot understand that Reams found lemon juice integral to RBTI because the liver could so easily convert it to enzymes, mainly digestive, is beyond me.  As Challen Waychoff has said, "The lemon is a must."  Anyway, you may enjoy this use-more-lemon story just as it came to me.  No, I know nothing about chemotherapy and whether the lemon acts that way.

Amazing frozen lemons 
All it is.....is a frozen lemon 
 
Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use the whole lemon without waste? 
 
Simple.. place the washed lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.
 
Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes, whisky.... the list is endless. 
 
All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before.  Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore.
 
Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles. 
 
What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes? 

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself.  And yes, that's what you've been wasting. 
 
But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier.
 
It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body. 
 
So place your washed lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret! Better late than never, right? The surprising benefits of lemon! 

Lemon is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.
 
Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. 
 
You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.
 
How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? 
 
As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes.
 
You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. 
 
This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. 
The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas... 
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.
 
And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells. 

So, give those lemons a good wash, freeze them and grate them. Your whole body will love you for it!!!!! 

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. 

When people apply to join the RBTI group they are encouraged to say a few words as to why they are interested.  Those who have been there for years should take a moment to study the responses as they might see something they can help with.  I know that we rarely see a long time member jump up to offer help and I've always assumed that is because they have not yet built their reserve energy up to a very high level.  Some (dare I say many?) people here are still on drugs and their battered bodies (or energy levels) simply do have the wherewithal to help others struggle.  Others may have never felt good a single day of their lives and helping has never been a part of what they do.  Others are just shy and find the ordinary (and normal) back & forth dissecting of fresh ideas a bit threatening to their egos.  Although the forum is not a classroom, I picture them as never raising their hands.  That may be more comfortable, but that is hardly a way to get their most sincere questions answered.

Anyway, it is important that we welcome the newcomers and help them get a basic idea of "what we do."  The basic intent of the newsgroup is to study, research, and report on the work of Carey Reams.  Reams taught over and over and over that all disease is mineral deficiency and not a shortage of drugs.  Reams was astute enough to know that medical doctors are trained to push drugs of all sorts, so he tried to avoid getting in the path of that juggernaut.  Instead he advised people to eat a very wide variety of foods, drink enough water to wash out waste products, and take mineral supplements to close the gaps in their nutrition.  He adapted simple chemical analysis developed for testing soils and instructed people how they could rebuild the "soil of their life," not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.  

Here are a few resources that have proven useful in the past.
1. Thomas Giannou's transcription of a class that Reams taught using Dr. John Black as an assistant
2. The Brixman.com website devoted to all aspects of Reams' work
3. And, of course, everyone should read Reams' book "Choose Life Or Death" (CLOD).  The most inexpensive place I have found to get a copy is from Pike Agri.  The horribly overpriced versions that show on Ebay are an aberration.
4. Finally, the archives of the forum are a gold mine of information.  Often you will find hundreds of prior posts concerning something that seems entirely new to you.

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.

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.

The phrase, which refers to over-excited hunting dogs confusedly seeking their prey in the wrong place, helps us see a picture of over-eager health researchers grinning at the world and saying, “We’ve found it.”

Today’s Washington Post is not the first to trumpet that a cure for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is at hand. A short examination of the history of SIDS shows that an almost endless stream of medical researchers has excitedly put forth an equally endless string of theories as the cause of this most tragic disorder. The problem is that today’s “This is it! This is really it!” claim will soon join its earlier now-discredited brethren.

One can only wonder at what wild-eyed theories future researchers will offer to the disconsolate parents of lifeless children. Dr. Carey Reams’ Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI) requires a simple measurement of the undigested protein and protein digestion byproducts as a factor in urine/saliva analysis. He found that as those factors approached a combined total of 30 parts per million spillage from the blood into the urine, sudden death was to be expected. Whether the ordinary pectoris heart attack of the adult or a loving parent’s discovery of a no longer breathing child, Reams steadfastedly maintained that one should expect a heart exhausted from dealing with impure blood to ultimately give way.

Reams tested his theory by obtaining urine samples from SIDS victims through personal friendship with various pathologists at several Orlando hospitals. In all cases of SIDS, he found a combined nitrate and ammonia nitrogen level of 30 ppm.

One would think that medical science would be quick to bark up the right tree, but that is evidently not to be. Simple, fully-scientific, double-blind tests of residual urine in post-mortem babies could point the way to an immediate end to such deaths. However, it would appear that SIDS researchers find it far more challenging, finanacially rewarding, and glamourous to race off in all directions to find their own tree to bark up.

And countless families will suffer because they were never alerted to Reams’ advice to give babies water so as to avert this senseless slaughter.

There really isn’t much needed to enter the world of RBTI.  The easiest way is to find a qualified consultant who can perform the analysis, guide the client as to food or water, furnish supplements, and teach the RBTI lifestyle.  From time to time I will make blog entries intended to help the seeker locate… RBTI [...]
