After years and years of immersion in Reams-think it is hard for me to see the world through medico eyes.  Below is a story about a kidney failure.  God alone knows exactly how much money will be spent on this one case.  I'll bet a donut and a cup of coffee that Reams simply would have made the man drink his water---no drama whatsoever.  Does that "protein build up" sound like huge numbers of delta and omega cells stacked up and waiting to get out? Are we talking extreme congestion? Should we add some lemon at the right time and some goldenseal to be sure everything gets out?  Of course we have to run the risk of the medical-lobby screaming that we are "practicing medicine without *our* license" as they try to throw us in jail. Pointing to a happy guy with both kidneys intact means little to them.

Carey Reams had his own ideas about cancer.  Reaching back to the days when apples were stored in barrels for the winter, he likened cancer cells, dead cells, to rotten apples. Just as a rotten apple could start rot in adjacent apples, he visualized dead cells not promptly removed from the body as causing "rot" in adjacent cells pressed hard against them.

Apparently the cancer answer, in Reams' view, is to be sure the body has abundant minerals it needs to build fresh cells even as old dead cells are being flushed away with distilled water, augmented with the scouring power of lemon juice.

How simple...and how different from the drug-company mentality taking root in government offices.  There is a push---driven by profit---to prescribe cancer drugs to you and I even though we are cancer-free. 

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:

• 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.
