Pure RBTI

4/6/2013

6 Comments

 
Some years ago I was sitting with Challen Waychoff, who is a RBTI consultant practicing out of Wheeling, WV.

Challen was telling me how often he comes across a client who has been steeped in various healing "fads" and who wishes to "blend" their preferred therapy with RBTI. "I tell them it won't work," he said, "but it usually takes them a good while to understand."

While he has detractors, those who know him credit Challen with being a stickler for staying very close to the original notes he took during his Reams' classes. Challen has no use for fads.
So what is a fad?  Joseph Manthei found it easier to simply list the more common fads (and demolish them) than to try to define them. Reams often spoke of there being so many "health" books out there that were "down on everything except what they were up on," that pretty soon nothing was left.  

Many who have lived and breathed RBTI for years remember the "RBTI teacher" who was far more interested in creating and selling myriad specially-created supplement cures than in practicing (and teaching) pure RBTI. From time to time I was guilty of having a bit of fun with that "teacher" because they sold a pill for every trouble. Actually, they had a heavy catalog's worth of pills. Interestingly, that "teacher" made good money while the practitioners of a more pure RBTI slowly went broke.

And people do seem to always have money to buy some pill or potion, some miracle in a bottle that they think---hope---will cure their troubles. This is true, in spades, for those who turn to the drug industry for their "miracle drugs."

RBTI is a whole 'nother animal.  Pure RBTI is about drinking water & lemon water to wash out dying or dead cells.  RBTI is about a bit of fasting, a little intestinal cleaning, some dietary changes, seeking out higher quality foods, and taking a few basic mineral supplements.  These items, as any purist RBTI practitioner will tell you, are always adjusted until an analysis of a client's urine and saliva shows they are lining up closer to the perfect RBTI values. 

Recently, someone who is not employing a RBTI consultant contacted me to find out why they received a less than cordial response when they tried to help a RBTI forum member who had spoken of children's growing pains. The person's proffered "help" was to recommend magnesium supplementation, a recommendation that is not pure RBTI.

Reams felt that we get all the magnesium we need from our food (chlorophyll) and from (gasp) the air.  However, he also suggested dolomite (i.e., a calcium/magnesium compound) to deal with stubbornly high ureas. Drawing from his agricultural expertise, he knew that magnesium displaces excessive nitrogen.

Although I was willing to concede that there may be times a child could get relief from dosing with magnesium, I tend to equate dosing with drugging such as doctors might do.  However, I did offer to do a search of RBTI literature and see what might turn up.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that Joanne Fontenot had filed a "been there, done that, got the T-shirt" report many, many years ago.  Her book is online for anyone to read, but I think it may help to quote her here:

FONTENOT: As a child, I was taken to the doctor again and again with complaints of growing pains, but even then my root problem, a calcium phosphate deficiency, was not recognized: "Nothing to worry about, she'll outgrow them. Many children have these growing pains and outgrow them."
FONTENOT: Our [my parents and I] confidence grew as Reams described my every mental and physical problem right from those numbers, and especially when he knew of my "growing pains" as a child. All these, he said, were the result of a calcium deficiency. The urine and saliva tests showed which particular calcium combinations were lacking in my diet.
FONTENOT: I do not want any more children to have to suffer, as I did, because of "growing pains" which "went away", only to have them resurface as surgery at 28.  


This has been a long blog entry.  I hope it helps one or more people change their understanding from ordinary doctor-stinkthink concerned only with the results of dosing and instead getting at the root cause---mineral deficiency---à la RBTI.

As always, I enjoy your posts.

I read recently in some RBTI literature that a higly alkaline body can't fight off pneumonia. Then it popped into my head why Jack Lalane died from pneumonia. He was a complete vegetarian for his adult life. Shame he could have known where he was with just taking the test.

Thanks for the post. I am pretty new to RBTI (been doing the diet for about 4 weeks now and am using Challen to help me along) and I always appreciate running in to blogs that help me learn a little more.

As for the commenter above - I was a strict vegetarian for many years and I cannot help but wonder if that was part of my problem? I turned to a real strict diet when I started gaining weight - I was bound and determined NOT to get fat like the rest of the women in my family. Little did I know that I was heaping woes on my own head.

I'd like to get in touch with other patients of Challen as I am working with him.

Hi Rex,
Great website, but where did MaxM's comments disappear to? Quite recently I read his detailed comments to this blog with great interest. He mentioned Peter D'Adamo and the success he'd had with that diet. I too think that D'Adamo has a great deal to offer. People can easily follow both RBTI and eat right for their blood types I would have thought. MaxM raised a lot of really interesting points. If there was anything in his comments that was inappropriate, surely it would be better to remove the bits that offended rather than his entire commentary?
We need to hear from people who have struggled with rbti just as much as those who have had their wins with it.

I honestly don't know where the comments went as I simply deleted them when I realized he was here to promote D'Adamo. To my credit, I allowed them to remain longer than RBTI comments would have remained on one of the numerous "Eat Right" boards. Everyone has to stay on topic. I only needed two "why do you let MaxM talk about D'Adamo?" emails to get me to do it. Sorry

    Long time RBTI fan.  Mainly I seem to be a librarian these days.
