Cal-cium per one cubic inch would weigh more than potassium, and much more than phosphate. Oxygen would be heavier than nitrogen. Nitro-gen is heavier than helium. Rememb er, we do not live on the foods we 
eat, we live off the energy from the foods we eat. The energy is created in various organs at a varying ratio of differ-
ent elements. For instance, the brain contains more potassium, that is, it is higher in the brain cells. The liver contains more calciums than anything else. The liver contains the greatest amount of calciums but the next highest is iron and iodine. The heart contains much calciums 
but the next very essential element is arsenic. (If there is enough arse-nic in colloidal phosphate form in the diet you will not have heart 71 valve trouble, heart weaknesses or heart skips, which develop in later 
life.) The total sex organs, male and female, contain more manganese 
than any other elements. The manganese is the one element that con-tains the power of life. Without manganese there would be no life up-on the earth. It is the key factor of all the elements which is responsi-ble for life to continue. An excellent example of manganese deficien-cy can be seen when you open a peach seed and the seed spreads open. But if it is a severe manganese deficiency there will not be any seed inside of the stone or pit. It will be decayed, or just a bit of pulp with no life in it. Another example is a peanut which has a shell but 
has nothing in it (called pops), or a pecan with the meat of it greatly dehydrated, or half of it is black, or has no meat in it at all. Whenever people do not get enough manganese from the food 
they eat then it is the first sign of the beginning of a loss of energy, and delta cells and omega cells (carcinoma, or cancer) are beginning to occur in these organs. In the medical books there are no terms for perfect cells, only terms for carcinoma, or cancer cells. We have made some new terms of names for cells in order to say more accurately what we mean. An ALPHA cell is a cell with 100% of its reserve en-ergy. A DELTA cell is an in between cell that has lost some of its re-serve energy, it is wearing out, but has not yet worn-out. An OMEGA cell is a cell with no reserve energy, it is worn-out like a tire that is ab-solutely impossible to use any more, cannot be patched up, is beyond use. In this way we can zero in on the exact loss of energy because the 
delta cells are losing energy but the omega cells are not losing reserve energy, they are already dead. A deficiency in potassium over a period of time could lead to a 
brain tumor. A deficiency in iodine and iron in the liver, as well as calciums, 
and deficiency of oxygen in the lungs could eventually lead to cancer of the liver, or any other organ, if this condition is permitted to con-tinue over a long period of time. The weakest part of the body will be affected. 72 If there is a phosphate or calciums deficiency it could eventually 
lead to cancer of the bone, and also  cavities in the teeth. There can be 
two reasons for the mineral deficiency . One is that the gastric juices 
are too dilute to digest the chlorine, fluoride, calciums, and phospho-rus which are necessary to make the enamel in the teeth. The second is even though the gastric juices are strong enough to assimilate them, the foods may not contain these elements. In the RBTI the tests denote these deficiencies and are shown in two ways: 
LOSS OF ENERGY, 
WHERE THE LOSS OF ENERGY IS. Consequently, the RBTI tests can predict as much as ten years in 
advance where cancer will strike, or whether or not the person is go-ing to have a heart attack, or whet her or not there are going to be 
health problems. The deficiencies may linger for a long time. This is explained further in the discussion of the numbers which denote these deficiencies. One of the great problems today is the deficiency of minerals in 
the foods that we eat, whether it is fresh, canned, frozen or whatnot, it is a deficiency, or has a lack of mineral. I am going to lay this blame strictly where it should be: the agricultural experimental stations. I'm not casting reflections on any one person, all I'm doing is stating a fact for most of our textbooks on agri culture are written by the experi-
mental stations under the supervision of the fertilizer and the insecti-cide companies. Most of our college graduates in agriculture today learn to do 
three things: to buy fertilizers, machinery and sprays. I was in the agriculture engineering business for 38 years, and had 
32 engineers working for me when I retired in 1968. We were teach-ing farmers how to get a greater yield at less cost per acre. But the ex-perimental stations fought us in every way possible. They never missed an opportunity to slander the work we were 
doing. However, our work prospered, and we were never able to catch up with all the requests we had for help. The average farmer in the United States today is producing less 
than 25% of what that farm is cap able of producing. The greater the 73 yield per acre the higher the mineral content. The higher the carbohy-
drate content the higher the yield per acre. The higher the yield of an acre the less time it takes to produce it. High quality produce with a high carbohydrate content will not rot, it will dehydrate but it will not decay. A few years ago I showed in a fair in Orlando, Florida, for three consecutive years the same watermelons. They were marked and kept under supervision and under the eye of the county agent. The melons had been picked eight months before they appeared in the fair the first time. The most successful farmers today have their own business, and 
their own soil scientists to guide a nd direct them, and they are not giv-
ing out this information to anyone whatever. A very simple example is this: the difference in hard wheat and soft wheat is solely in the min-eral content that is in the soil. If the mineral content is high enough in the soil it is hard wheat. And if it is not high enough it is soft wheat. I know there are wheat growers who will disagree with this. However, 100 years ago much of that same soil produced hard wheat, and today it is producing soft wheat. This fact cannot be denied. Many com growers used to produce 200 bushels of corn per acre, 
and some of that same soil is down to 50 bushels yield per acre now. This is because the mineral has been taken from the soil and has not been replaced. The Bible prophecy is true: the earth shall wax old like 
a garment. Men shall become weaker but wiser. These minerals are available, and are very economical to put back into the soil to help make American people more healthy. Any farmer who is not producing 200 bushels of com per acre, 
two tons of peanuts per acre, 20 tons alfalfa per acre, or 20 tons of wa-termelon per acre should be ashamed. We are teaching seminars in agricultu re to teach the farmer how to 
produce a greater yield per acre at less cost per pound or per capita. This system works, and is proven. No one person, no one doctor, no one dietician, no one merchant, 
no one farmer, no one dairy farmer, no one meat producer is responsi-ble. It is a chain reaction that is cause and effect of our entire society 74 regarding good health. Therefore, if we want to be healthy the best 
way is to use a very, very great variety of foods. In the laboratory tests that we do, the Reams tests are standard la-
boratory tests, made by standard laboratory instruments. I was the first man to apply these biological needs to the function-
ing of these instruments. The Lord taught me how to do it, and this is the forty-sixth year that this system has been in use, and has been proven accurate. One of the problems that we have been facing for the past 21 years 
is the state laws made by the drug establishment, which has greatly re-stricted this knowledge, or greatly  kept this knowledge from the peo-
ple. Consequently, I have been in hot water so to speak with the drug establishment. I have been fighting them in the courts now for nine 
years. And the battle still continues. One of the great things that is going for the American people is the 
National Health Federation, the International Cancer Society, and the International Association of Cancer Victims & Friends. These have done much to help in the fight for the freedom of choice and to en-lighten the people on their rights to choose whom to go to with their 
health problems. Humanity changes very slowly. An example of this is Moses lead-
ing the children of Israel from Egypt into the promised land when they were marching through the valley of snakes and serpents. Moses put up on a pole a serpent and said to the people that all 
who would look toward the serpent on the pole would be healed. Most of the people refused to look because they said it wouldn't do any good. So humanity today hasn't changed very much. They know to do better than they do. They are told what to do and they won't do it. Many people come with dietary probl ems. They get tested and the 
moment they think that they are goi ng to live they go back to the old 
system until they again think they are going to die. Then they get test-ed again and get back to the point where they think they are going to live, and over and over they go through the same process. Never well, never sick enough to die. This is human nature. 75 It is quite disheartening to the doctors and the testers who know 
that they are able to help get the people practically well and the people 
then not seeming to want to be perfectly well. They just want to be able to think they are well. They want to do 
what they want to do. It is an interesting fact when Moses was leading the children of Is-
rael out of Egypt, in two years they arrived at the promised land. But the oldtimers were afraid of the enemy. They were afraid of change. They didn't want to rock the boat. Consequently they didn't get into the promised land. So for 38 years God let them march in the wilder-ness, until all the oldtimers died off. Then God took the young people into  the promised land. Even so 
today, the RBTI probably will be accepted by the young people. People who break the rules of health grow old prematurely. So naturally they go to a premature grave. There are many names 
for the diseases that caused them to die. However, the cause of the death was a mineral deficiency. All illness is a result of a mineral deficiency. No drug can supply a 
mineral deficiency. The reason most people get well in the hospital is because they rest. Some illness comes about because people do not rest, and lack of rest depletes minerals. The only way health can be re-stored is to supply the mineral needed for God to restore the decayed tissues. If we will supply the minerals, God will do the rest. A famous doctor once said, "All I do is entertain a patient while 
nature heals." In the process of healing there is a divine process and a miracle in 
itself. We cannot do miracles. We can onl y set the stage for God to do 
His miracles. One of the saddest things about Am erica is the fact of how much 
we are abusing our children. The public schools are often giving them foods that their bodies cannot digest, and they are getting diets all alike regardless of whether or not their body chemistry is synchro-nized to accept it. If the body is not s ynchronized to take food then the 
food moves the body chemistry out of the range of perfect, and the 76 further from perfect range the body chemistry gets, the more ill one 
becomes. It is not practical for every child in a public school to have the ex-
act same food. Some have diabetic tendencies, some have low blood sugar tendencies, and some have digestive problems, some are over-weight, some are underweight, some have worms, some have hyper-tension problems, and all of these can be corrected by diet. But in or-der to do that, tests have to be made. There are three groups of food that will fit all categories of chil-
dren 's diets that can be served in any school. My dream is to see that the RBTI be used in all schools and diets 
made to fit the children by groups instead of each child choosing what food he wants in his lunch. And also helping parents in the home to supply the need of the children. The purpose of the RBTI test is to determine whether or not the 
body chemistry is too acid or too alkaline, whether it has or is accept-ing too much carbohydrates, or whether it is not getting enough, whether the body is retaining too much salt or not enough, whether the body is digesting the proteins or not digesting the proteins, etc. It is God's plan in bringing anyone's health back to perfect. The RBTI works well on all people whose body ch emistry will receive or will re-
spond to diet. There is less than I percent of all the people who are placed on a diet to bring their body chemistry back into a perfect range whose body will not respond. This is because there is either brain damage, a tumor of the brain, a potassium deficiency, or low blood sugar in which the brain is not getting enough oxygen, or brain injury or damage to the central nervous system (which is the nerve that takes the message from the brain to the vital organs). This plan of diet is not the practice of medicine in any shape or 
form, because everyone is on some kind of a diet, either good or bad. Some people are inhibited by cigarettes and some are not. Some people are inhibited by drugs, 80 percent given by medical 
doctors. (The other 20 percent of the people on drugs buy them on the black market.) 77 Some people are inhibited by diet. Their body accepts too much of 
one thing and not enough of the mineral and vitamin content of anoth-
er. All the RBTI diet does is correct a person's mineral and vitamin 
deficiency. If the person gets well, it's not my fault or anyone else's I have taught. God does it. No one can heal another; only God can heal. There have been some very simple instruments made that will be 
on the market soon that the housewife may use. Instruments that will be easy to use and read, as a watch dial which will show the mother how to prepare a diet for her family. If there is some member in the family that needs a different diet, these instruments will show her how to make the diet for this particular individual. This will be one of the greatest factors in the world to prevent family illnesses. This will give a family more money for pleasure and the things they want to do, and to be healthy. It will decrease the loss of man hours due to illness by hundreds of percent. More progress has been made in every field of science than has been made in the field of health for the people of this world. The purpose of this book is to enlighten the people that it is easier 
to be healthy than it is to be sick. 78 CHAPTER 9 
REAMS BIOLOGICAL THEORY OF IONIZATION 
 
The theory of ionization was discovered after a father with a three 
and one-half-year-old child had been to a medical doctor. The child was having seizures and was diagnosed as an epileptic. The doctor had told the parents that this child would go into a sei-
zure and would not come out and could not live to be five years old. "You just have to do something for my child for drugs have 
failed," the father of the child said. They lived two doors from us. I knew the boy well. When I went to the laboratory that night I just sat for three days 
and nights wondering where in the world to start. What could I do? What approach should I use? Mother would bring my meals to the lab, and from one meal to the next I would not have touched the previous meal. The days almost seemed like minutes as I was meditating around the clock. I didn't sleep at all, I was so engrossed in the prob-lem at hand. I was not even sleepy. On the end of the third day the thought came to me that if I knew 
the mathematical chemistry of perfect health, then tests could be run on the boy's body chemistry and we could find out how far from per-fect his body chemistry was, and then we could make a diet and bring his body chemistry back to perfect. It was then I started from the knowledge of frequencies I had on 
grapes. It was the only thing I knew the frequency of at that time to calculate, or you might call it "dead reckoning," what a human anato-my should read if it were perfect. I'm sure that an angel held my hand for in four days I had come up with a formula which I consider today to be perfect for human anatomy, regardless of the age of the person. This was almost four years before I had discovered the frequency of the human being, which proved that this equation was indeed correct. I asked the parents to bring the little fellow in and we'd run tests 
on him. The first equation was much longer than the equation we have now. We ran tests on stool, blood, tears, ear wax, finger and toe nails, 79 sweat, hair, urine and saliva. As far as I know I was the first person to 
do a hair analysis. After a week I had completed the test and was 
amazed at how much duplication there was. I began to drop off vari-ous things in the next three years until I had left only the equation I now use. We had the parents come in and made a diet for the boy, and 
found he was not an epileptic at all , but that he had low blood sugar, which was causing the seizures. His pancreas was manufacturing too much insulin. We corrected the diet by using fresh green, raw chloro-phyll. We used some St. Augustine grasses and ground them in a food chopper, put them in a strainer and pressed out the juice with a fork. We didn't have juicers at that time, as they had not yet been invented. Immediately, the boy began to improve. In three months there 
were no more seizures. In a year he was doing well. Then the family moved to Texas, and I didn't see them again for 35 years. I was on the streets of Orlando, Florida, near the corner of Church Street and Or-ange Avenue when a young man came to me and said, "Are you Carey 
Reams?" "Yes," I said. "I know you, but you do not know me," he said. I said, "No, sir, if I've ever seen you I don't remember." Then he told me, "I'm the little fellow who had the epileptic sei-
zures, and you gave me a diet. I remember you real well. I never had another seizure. When I was seven years old, we were in a little acci-dent and I had a light seizure and went into shock. But I've never had another since that time." This was my first test of this ionization theory. From time to time I was called upon to do this test. I had talked to 
different doctors about it. At this time I still had the medical laborato-ry, and doctors began to use it some and found the test to be accurate. When I discovered frequency it was brought about by two police 
officers bringing some ashes from a building that had been burned. They had reason to believe that the ashes were from humans, or possi-bly an animal. The undertaker had a crematory (he and my father had been friends). I had known him all my life. I went to him and told him 80 my problem, and asked to borrow some ashes of a corpse where he 
knew the sex, age, height, weight, and color of hair. In two weeks I 
had established the frequency upon which human beings live, and could even tell the race, but could not tell anything about the age be-
cause the age of carbon is measured in  thousand of years. I returned to 
the crematory every atom of the ashes. I was able to determine that there were two fern ales and one male 
in those ashes. I did the work for the police department for a number of years, until I went to war and then I gave it to the Commission. They don't follow it anymore because it is an aggravation to sit in court for a few days waiting to testify for the little bit you get for the testimony of it. Police departments today can determine if it is human or animal ashes. This was one of the steps in which the RBTI was dis-covered. I sold the medical laboratory, and then spent my time in the Agri-
cultural Engineering field. I knew I had something, but did not know where its strong and weak points were. When any chemist or physicist makes what he thinks is a discover y, the first things he wants to know 
are: 
Is it real? Is it true? Does it work every time? What are the exceptions? I did then what is the duty of every scientist and physicist: set out to prove that this theory was not true. The theory of the entire equation is: Whether the body has too much carbohydrate, or not enough. Whether the body chemistry is too acid, or too alkaline. Whether the body is retaining too much salts or not enough. (There are many different kinds of salts. Chloride salts, and salts 
without chloride. Even insulin is a salt.) Whether the body is throwing out the worn-out cells, or not throw-
ing out the worn-out cells. Whether or not the proteins are digesting. Whether there is too much manganese, or not enough. 81 Whether there is too much iron, or not enough. Whether there is too much iodine, or not enough. Whether there is too much arsenic, or not enough. Whether or not there is enough potassium, phosphates, etc., of all 
the elements. The perfect equation is:  
ͩ.ͭ	(ͩ)				ͮ.ͬͨ	(ͪ)
ͮ.ͬͨ	(ͫ)
ͭ)					ͫ	(ͮ)
ͫ	(ͯ) 
 
The first number denotes the carbohydrates (1.5). The numbers (2) and (3) denote the lack of calciums, or the re-
sistance between the anions and cations, the anions and anions, cations and cations. This is a key factor in measuring the total amount of en-ergy in our bodies, and is the key factor in the reserve energy, howev-er, it is not the whole key. The pH (measure of resistance) factor is number (2) and (3). The top number is the pH of the urine, and the bottom is the pH of 
the saliva. The numbers are not fractions. The fourth number denotes the total salt measurement in micro 
numbers. This indicates whether the body retains too much salt or not 
enough. This is done through the process of elimination, which is a mathematical calculus equation. The fifth number indicates the basic change of worn-out cells. The sixth and seventh numbers cover or indicate many things. If 
these numbers are running too high it indicates that the proteins are turning to urea because of the high salt, and causes the heart to beat too hard, and the person is a candidate  for a pectoris heart attack, also 
the person is too tired, or tensions are building up. If the worn-out cells are flushed out of the system in three days it does not turn to 
urea. Urea is undigested protein. The iron, iodine, manganese, and arsenic are measured by the pro-
cess of elimination. 82 These numbers show where, or in what area or areas, is the great-
est loss of energy. The combined salt reading and the urea reading co-
vers many reasons for the loss of energy in the body. Practically all diseases start with mineral deficiency, which begins 
with the liver and has an effect on the other vital organs. As these vital organs begin to malfunction this affects the muscu-
lar action of the cranial nervous system, therefore it may make the symptom in a different location from the cause of the symptom. Here again we run into energy cause and effect. What the RBTI Test Will Not Do By taking the tests consecutively certain dietary patterns can be 
determined. Then we can zero in on the health problem. The test will not show gallstones because the gall bladder is so 
thin that when it stretches the energy is covering such a large area. However, there are other symptoms that show that there is a loss of energy in the digestion of foods because the bile has been in the gall bladder too long, and it is in a rather fermented state and therefore it upsets the digestive system. Then by deduction we can conclude that the gall bladder is not functioning normally. The stones receive energy but do not give it off. Nausea, and soreness in the solar plexus area are symptoms of a 
gall bladder disturbance. (The solar plexus refers to the area where the ribs connect to the sternum bone. The solar plexus is at the bottom of the sternum.) Where ulcers have been many times the gastric juices kept the ul-
cers so clean until the energy was dissipated over such a large area that we could not pick them up on the first test. After three or four days of tests they are very easy to pick up and locate. The RBTI test does not pick up a broken blood vessel in which 
there is no loss of energy. It is just that the blood vessel is leaking a little bit of blood and no energy is lost because the tear in the blood vessel may be in the dermis of the skin or elsewhere in the body. If a hernia is completely healed and there is no loss of energy it 
will not show. However, the hernia can still be there and cause trou-83 ble. If that hernia has inflammation, and there is a high amount of cell 
decay, it will pick up this hernia. There must be a loss of energy in order for these equations to 
work. People who have a buzzing or bells ringing, or humming, or a 
noise in their ears, it is actually a t ype of energy and can be picked up 
in the test. This js because the energy gives off a little bit of heat, and 
the heat waves are striking the anvil of the ear and this causes the buzzing, humming or noises in the ear  which indicate an infection, or 
whatever the problem may be. This ty pe of energy is easy to pick up 
even in very small amount. These then are the weak points in the equation. 84 CHAPTER 10 
RANGE A – E 
 
In the RBTI equation there are five patterns that are away from 
perfect. The perfect range has numbers so many decimals on each side of 
perfect. The ranges are A, B, C, D,  and E. Range B is whole numbers 
away from range A. The C range is way out, it is a long way from range A. In range C the numbers are the farthest out above the ones in range A. That is, they are on the alkali side, or on the anionic side. In the range D the numbers drop below perfect, or on the lower 
side of the A range. In the E range the numbers are way out below the A and D range. People in the E range are near death. In these five ranges we have 2,600 differentials (i.e. we have 
26002600 different variations within the equation). To give a compar-ison of how great a number this is, here are some examples: 
3
2 means 3 times itself 2 times (3 x 3 =9) 
34 means 3 times itself 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3 =81) 
There are 80,000 standard drops of water in 4 liters (which is 
about one gallon) of water. That means there are about 23 standard drops of water in all of the oceans (i.e. 23 times itself 23 times). Now the RBTI equation has 26002600 different variations. That means 2600 times itself 2600 times. That number is more 
than there are grains of sand or drops of water in the oceans. Do you realize that we are unique individuals and yet God knows each one of us? It is possible for a person's body chemistry range to be in all five 
ranges. And. this is where the differential comes in. We call these ZONES. It is in these zones that we measure named illnesses. For example, if one has a very low urinary sugar, it would be in 
range E, and yet the salt could be in range D, or C (or any range). Or, you could have pH in the C range and the liver pH in the D range (or any range), or vice versa. The same is true of the urea. This brings 85 about what we call "zones." These zones can be graphed and in them 
the malady is located. When one understands the numbers well enough, the frequency, 
the micronage, the milli-micronage  and the milli-milli-micronage you 
can also see it in three dimensions, you also see the color, and you can draw a picture of what the problem is and where it is in the body with absolute accuracy. This RBTI equation reading is not something simple and easy. It 
is being taught in nine seminars. We are covering a four year post-graduate course in 45 days. We advise anyone to spend at least three months (six months is better), between each course so that it can be thoroughly learned or mastered. Ever y rule must be memorized and 
known as the multiplication table is known. After working 38 years with this system in the three largest hospi-
tals in one of our larger cities in Florida, I was not found wrong one time in doing this work for the doctors. Even surgery was performed when all the instruments showed nothing was wrong and the RBTI test was proven correct each time. Sometimes surgery was performed, when I had given the instruction that the patient's energy was too low to stand the operation, and would die on the operating table. There was not one exception. With the RBTI test we have located everything from brain tumors 
to ingrown toenails without any physical examination other than the numbers, and later we did look at the blood vessels in the eyes to see if the body was cooperating. I have challenged the scientists to prove this either to be accurate 
or inaccurate. At this point no one has accepted the challenge. Some have used smear tactics, trying to destroy it rather than to prove it right or wrong. I am willing to take any case, without seeing the person, or having 
any case history , and in thirty minutes can tell by the numbers what the problem is. Hundreds of doctors have seen me do this. We have taught nearly 1,000 people the basic principles of this 
course, and many of them are medical doctors and chiropractors. 86 They are now using the RBTI tests and are amazed at the accuracy 
of this even though all nine seminars have not yet been taught. We 
have been teaching these seminars now for over two years. My estimate is that 4% of all the people who take the seminars 
will master them and to actually see the picture that these numbers in-dicate. Numbers do paint pictures, as they too are a language. An archi-
tect must see the picture in his mind before he can take the math that he knows and make a blueprint of the building, the bridge, or whatev-er he is going to build. He must see every number and every piece of material it takes to make whatever the blueprint calls for before an es-timate of cost and time to build it can be completed. If an architect can 
do that with a building why can't a biophysicist do it with a person's body? It can be done for I have done it. I am not out to prove anything. I am out to make America the 
healthiest nation on earth. I am teachin g principles that are in the Bi-
ble. When these principles are put into proper practice God will bless, God will honor, God will restore people to health. Bad health is a result of disobedience to the laws God has made. Good health is obedience to the laws that God has made. I readily accepted the challenge to prove this when I taught the 
first seminar. 87 CHAPTER 11 
HOW A NEW CELL IS DEVELOPED 
 
A new cell does not develop by dividing. It forms by a process of 
ionization, the same way that a silver-plated, nickel-plated or chromi-um-plated process takes place. The liver manufactures amino acids. (I have already explained 
how amino acids are formed and established, etc.). Then on the end of a nerve when it is cut it forms little branches. On each end of these lit-tle branches it forms a stolon which is a cation of energy which lodges with nowhere else to go. This pr ocess repeats itself and a cell comes 
into being. It does this on both sides of a cut, or bruise as an incision from an operation. This process is cal led knitting. If there is a mineral 
deficiency adhesions form and the flesh is hard. But if the mineral is sufficient then no adhesions form. If the mineral is plentiful there will not even be a scar left from the ope ration. It may be a little lighter in 
color, or maybe a bit of a marking there for a few months, or even a few years, but there will be no adhesions. All adhesions are caused by a mineral deficiency. Many times adhesions form within the body be-cause of a mineral deficiency when there has not been any operation because the worn-out cells are swelled and there is not enough mineral to force them into the blood stream, or to break them loose from the nerve ending, and for a new stolon to form and a new cell to come into 
being. Until the principle of the forming of a cell is understood, all diag-
nosis can be incorrect. RBTI is not a system of diagnosis. It is a system of analysis. An analysis is something that is very accurate. It is very difficult 
to find a group of doctors that agr ee on any diagnosis, but if one mil-
lion people did a RBTI test all of them would come up with the same answer and it would be accurate. (it is very easy to miss a diagnosis and to make a true analysis but it is impossible if your instruments and laboratory equipment are kept clean. However, humans being what they are, it is possible for a lack of training to misinterpret the analy-88 sis.) It practically eliminates human error because there are ways to 
prove whether or not the mathematics of the RBTI is accurate or not. If you can think of a jigsaw picture with only nine different pat-
terns of parts, but yet the parts of variable sizes, then you can imagine the shape and form of energy that makes up a human body, which is the most complicated of all the creatures God made. If you would look at the brain under an ultraviolet ray microscope, 
it would look like a series of little rods. These small rods are not the brain at all, they lead to brain ce lls which are round, and at the end of 
each one of the rods is a very small round cello They are in clusters. Each one of the clusters causes us to do certain things. In the left quadrant of the brain rests the involuntary system of the body which controls the vagus nerve system. The right quadrant of the brain is the one that controls the muscular action. The frontal part of the brain controls our thoughts, our knowledge and etc. Whenever we wish to recall something we are using the frontal part of the brain. If there is a potassium deficiency then electrical impulses do not travel in the de-sired paths to locate the information in the cluster in which it is stored. Therefore, we are absent-minded. But don't let that excite you at all because absent-mindedness is a sign of genius. Now, if it gets to the place where it is forgetfulness, it is rather se-
rious because then delta cells are beginning to form and maybe the re-call is gone forever. Omega cells are premature aging and death has started. On a 
peach, apple or banana, if there is a rotten spot, as far as that fruit is concerned that is complete loss of  reserve energy because it is de-
cayed flesh of that fruit. Decayed flesh in our system is complete loss of reserve energy. We have cancers that are benign, that means they are contained, 
and then we also have malignant cancers. However, a benign cancer may be malignant too, for it also may be growing very rapidly even though it is still benign. It is like a boil, which is a type of cancer. It has a rotten core in it, and that rotte n flesh is cancer in any man's lan-
guage. Any other rotten or decaying flesh is cancer, whether it is a 89 pimple on the face, or a sore on the leg or arm, or anywhere in the sys-
tem. Our system should throw out a few hundred thousand delta cells 
every day and replace them with new cells. This is the process of life. Every cell in our body, from the brain to the tip end of the too should be exchanged about every six months. The proof of that is the finger-nail. They grow out about every six months. As long as this is happen-
ing, cells being replaced throughout the whole system, you are in per-fect health, and in for a ripe old age. This is what the perfect equation denotes: How to grow old in good health. Fifteen years ago I was called to the hospital early in the morning. I had been there nearly all day with doctors on various patients that had accumulated while I had been out  of town. I had just gotten home 
on a Friday afternoon and did not wish to go back to the hospital when the telephone rang with the message that they had a case and for me to come in. A woman, age 35, had broken out in hives two hours earlier from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. You couldn't put a pin down on her body anywhere but what there was a hive. She was about as red as a beet. The doctor asked if I had any suggestions to make without coming to the hospital. "No," I said, "I can only come to that answer by asking the lady some questions first." The three doctors had examined her and one called me about the 
case. I asked if the lady had had a family upset, family argument. No, she had not had any family upset. Had she had any bad news from anywhere that upset her, like an 
illness or death in the family? No she hadn't had any of that. How long after she ate did she have this attack? They said three 
hours. Did she have cold hands or cold feet? No cold hands, no cold feet. I then said that the hives were caused by a calcium imbalance, and 
the only thing that could have thrown her calciums out of balance so quickly was a heart attack. I asked how long it took the hives to come on. They answered, "15 to 20 minutes." Did she have sharp-shooting pains in her stomach or chest? 90 Yes, but it quickly went away. How long from then until the hives broke out? From 20 to 30 
minutes. That meant the hives had broken out in a ten-minute period from 
the top of her head to the tip of her feet. Then I said, "See if she has not had a heart attack, and if she has not had a heart attack then I will 
come to the hospital. Call me back  within an hour, let me know one 
way or the other." One other question I had asked, Did she have deep wrinkles in her 
forehead? The answer was, "Yes." This indicates inward tension and potential of heart attack. The inward cause of body chemistry will cause outward effects on 
the body. In the seminars we teach the students who take the numbers to be able to describe the person. They learn to describe the outward appearance. The numbers talk and give the inward appearance. (lf your wife sent you to town to get a spool of number 40 or 50 thread, you would bring her back a thread one fiftieth of an inch in diameter. If you don't believe numbers talk ju st look at your bank statement the 
first of the month. Sometimes they even scream at you!) This is the re-sult of cause and effect, the loss or gain of energy. The doctors laughed at me for suggesting a heart attack. They ran a test and found that she had had a heart attack, and that 
there was slight heart damage. I said, "You know what to do, and in the meantime I am going to suggest something for the hives. Put her on the lemon and water according to the weight, every hour, and water every half hour for ten hours a day. Also, give her asparagus twice a day, with some bread, and for the dinner meal only raw, leafy salads. I will be in to see her with you on M onday, and I think she will be able 
to go home." I was in on Monday and went to see her with the doctors. She was feeling fine and all hives were gone. We gave her a diet 
to follow. She got along beautifully. This is an example of cause and effect. 91 CHAPTER 12 
TESTING PROCEDURES 
 
One thing about the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization tests 
is that they are done so quickly, in less than 30 minutes. When tests are made no case histories are required and no one has 
to be undressed. No questions are asked other than identification, name, address and telephone number for the purpose of getting in touch with the person as needed. We do look at the eyes to know whether or not the body chemistry 
is cooperating, or not cooperating. In each eye, if the blood vessels were stretched out end to end, we are told there would be approxi-mately 80 miles of blood vessels. In the sclera of the eye there are two groups of blood vessels. One running horizontal and one running per-pendicular (upright). The perpendicular blood vessels indicates loss of delta cells that are not being washed out of the system from above the diaphragm and upper extremities. The horizontal blood vessel indi-cates that the loss of cells is below the diaphragm and the lower ex-tremities of the body. The delta cells that are not being washed out of the system will eventually turn to urea and are indicating that a heart attack will be in three hours, days, or years, regardless if in the hori-zontal or perpendicular blood vessel eye dilation, unless something is done. The sclera of each eye is divided into 60 parts, a total of 120 divi-
sions for both eyes. By writing down the eye numbers of the sclera when it is checked off on our little checkerboard scale form, then the greater the amount of numbers or lit tle boxes we have in the eye that 
has dilated blood vessels the greater the number the delta cells, or even omega cells, that should be thrown out of the body. These blood vessels are so delicate until they are very easily 
stretched or expanded, and can also denote a vitamin C deficiency 
in the body. This is as much as the eye test tells us. There are certain body conditions in which the body chemistry 
cannot accept vitamin C. Vitamin C is the element that knits the cells 92 together. When women are pregnant and have a vitamin C deficiency 
they have stretch marks in their skin. Men with vitamin C deficiency 
may also have stretch marks. Stretch marks is always a sign of vitamin C deficiency. The RBTI testers do not have to examine a person to know whether or not there are stretch marks. Not the eye numbers, but the lab numbers tell whether or not there is a vitamin C deficiency. Everyone who has a body chemistry with 4.5 milligrams of vita-
min C per gram of blood has no type of disease. Vitamin C is the po-lice department that keeps the diseases out of the system. There is a theory that vitamin C cannot be stored. It can be and is 
stored in the system! One of the early signs of a vitamin C deficiency is a cold. A runny 
nose or sore throat is a very early sign of a cold. Also, swollen tonsils is a sign of vitamin C deficiency. Swollen tonsils are also a sign that 
the person is not drinking enough pure (distilled) 
water. I've never seen a case of tonsillitis, regardless of how badly 
the tonsils were swollen, that couldn't be brought down normally with-in a week with drinking the proper amount of distilled water systemat-ically, plus taking vitamin C as soon as the body chemistry (pH above 6.40) was ready to accept vitamin C. 
The taking of vitamin C does not mean that the body assimilates it 
at all. You may take vitamin C by the pound and the body not accept one milligram. One milligram is one thousandth of one gram, and it takes 28.4 grams to equal one o unce (1 ounce = 16 ounces = 1 pound). So you see that one milligram is a very, very small amount. Vitamin C 
has a low pH and if your body chemistry has a low pH it rejects vita-min C. There is one exception, when a cation is added to a cation, it will give off enough vitamin C energy to supply the required amount needed. We can connect the deficiency in vitamin C to a direct cause of 
lack of calciums in the system. The vitamin C is deficient because of the lack of enough varieties of calciu ms in the system, plus the oxygen 
that we breathe, plus enough iron and iodine for the liver to function normally. So when we begin to study body chemistry we are going to run into chain reactions. One body action has a reaction upon another 93 body action, and each time there is a reaction then our reserve energy 
level changes. Most medical doctors cannot find anything wrong with 
our bodies until the reserve energy drops below 30, sometimes to even 25, and less. Whenever the principles of the RBTI are put into practice, all 
stretch marks can be eliminated in the skin. All cavities in the teeth 
can be stopped. All heart attacks can be predicted in a matter of minutes, to months, and even completely prevented. Angina heart attack is not caused by cholesterol (a fatty sub-
stance). Cholesterol is the final effect that brought about the heart at-tack. The angina heart attack was brought about because of cholester-ol, but the cholesterol formed in the blood vessels and in the veins and arteries because the body retained too much salt, causing the vessels to lose their ability to expand and contr act so nature puts grease or oil in 
the blood vessels so that the blood can get away from the heart and back to the heart. Otherwise the person would die much sooner if the blood vessels dilated and the cholesterol did not form in the blood vessels. However, it is possible for enough cholesterol to form in the blood vessels, but a piece of this cholesterol can turn loose and plug up the heart, causing it to go into a spasm and cause a fatal heart at-
tack, or damage to the heart. It ma y take years for the heart to repair 
itself unless steps are taken to supply the proper mineral needed to ef-fect the healing. When the doctor tells you that once a heart is damaged by a heart 
attack that it will not repair itself, he means that no drug will repair it. But diet will repair a heart that has been damaged by a cholesterol heart attack, or a pectoris heart att ack if the body responds to a tailor-
made diet. A pectoris heart attack is brought about because the system has not thrown out the delta cells, and the salt in the blood has broken the cell down to a urea. Urea is in two forms-NITRATE NITROGEN and AMMONICAL 
NITROGEN. These two nitrogens cause the heart to beat too hard. Not any fast-
er, but much harder. When this reading of the urea (the last numbers in the equation) gets to 18 to 20, or 23, the person is very, very tired 94 all the time because the heart is beating much too hard, causing the en-
tire body to be tired. This is a very common occurrence with women 
because they use seven times more calciums a day than a man. Since the need for calciums is so much greater in females the weaknesses are magnified much more than in the male. The lack of calciums causes the urea to rise higher and higher. If 
this urea rises above 24 to 27, this person is in the zone for a major heart attack. Above 27 anyone would be in the zone for a fatal heart attack, if it was a first reading. It s houldn't be that high even in a sec-
ond reading. Heart attacks, both angina and pectoris, can be blotted out within 
30 days in the United States in a patient any time the people demand it. The quicker they demand it, the easier it will be. Another thing that causes heart problems is acute indigestion. Fifty years ago a cute indigestion was a very common disease. It generally could be cured in 30 minutes. But today there is no 
money in acute indigestion so everybody has "heart attacks” and it takes two or three weeks to get well, even though it is acute indiges-tion. It is very easy to tell if it is acute indigestion, or a heart attack. If 
acute indigestion, one has cold hands and cold feet. If it is a heart at-tack you may not have cold hands and cold feet. They are treated ab-solutely differently. Acute indigestion is gas forming in the stomach and puts pressure 
on the heart. The heart has so much pressure on it that it cannot beat properly and goes to skipping. This causes chest pains very much like an angina or pectoris heart attack. Generally a pectoris heart attack is 
caused by the high urea in the blood. If it is coming along rather slow-ly it will cause pain in the left arm a long time before you have chest pains. These are problems that can be prevented with diet, and be 
stopped forever. Someday a scientist will make an instrument that will be sold on the market so the people can use it and it will solve many of the common problems that are in the beginning of trouble or bad health for people. 95 The possibilities of what can be done with the Reams Biological 
Theory of Ionization equation is so great it is uncomprehendable by 
the human mind. We are truly marvel ously made, and it is a matter of 
obedience to the rules that God has made, for us to be in good health. 96 CHAPTER 13 
LOW BLOOD SUGAR 
 
Approximately 80% of the people that are classified as having epi-
lepsy and on dilantin, or other drugs, are not epileptic. They have low blood sugar. The low blood sugar is causing sei-
zures. There are no two seizures alike. No one by watching can tell the 
difference in whether it is an epileptic seizure or a low blood sugar seizure. The RBTI tests are the only tests that differentiate between an epileptic and a low blood sugar seizure. A 27-year-old girl was brought in from Daytona Beach to be test-
ed in Orlando, and had been on dilantin since she was two and one-half years old. After the tests were made I said to her, "So you think you are an epileptic?" The people who had brought her were her neighbors, said, "We know she is an epileptic because she had a sei-zure on the way over here." "I'm not talking about seizure. I'm talking about the cause of sei-
zures," I said. I thought the lady had lied to me about her age because she looked 
47 or 48 years old because she lived in fear of the next seizure. She was having as high as 15 seizures a day, and had to have someone with her around the dock. The dilantin and anything else they had tried was wearing out to where it no longer was effective. I said to the lady, "I have news for YOU. You are not an epileptic, 
you are having low blood sugar seizures. You may or may not believe me. I am going to give you food which I want you to begin taking now. Take it until you eat supper tonight. Then I am going to give you a diet, and I want you to follow it. I want to see you in two weeks. If you do exactly what I tell you, you will not have any more seizures." She did not believe me at all. Neither did the people who were 
with her. Now they really thought I was a quack. I made up for her what can be made in most ordinary kitchens. 97 It was just a matter of mixing juices together that would fit her 
body chemistry. It was something to keep her blood sugar from drop-
ping too low. In a week the neighbors who brought her called saying, "This girl 
has not had a seizure since starting on the diet." "I didn't expect her to have any seizures. Bring her back in another 
week," I said. They brought her back and I gave her a diet to follow and told her 
to come back in two months. In two months when she came back she looked her age. I then asked her to return in three months. When she came back she looked 20 years old! A year later she was able to get her driver's license. And a year later she was happily married. This is just one of the cases of a missed diagnosis, and the suffering this girl had gone through for nearly 25 years could have been eliminated if the RBTI tests had been used. Another case was a 30-year-old man who was the head computer 
operator in a modem company in Orlando. The job was demanding so much of his time until he was about to lose his family. He was called on almost day and night and had no time for his 
young family. He had taken the contract to put a computer system into the hospital. After a few years he began having very serious migraine headaches, and they were getting worse. It was on Labor Day 1960 that he called me from the hospital. "Do you have a headache now?" I asked. "Yes," he said. "Get someone to drive you to my lab. I can get you over the mi-
graine headache in approximately 30 minutes." I had to work him in between others needing dietary guidance on 
the Biblical health message. I had already been arrested two or three times, so it didn't make any difference if I got arrested again. Those who instigated my arrest had forbidden the doctors to use 
my services. And the doctors who used my services, or wished to talk to me personally about their cases, came to me by night. I told the girl in the office that the man was coming and to test him 
as soon as he came and to bring me the result of the test. 98 When she brought the test I made up for the man four ounces of 
juice to sip slowly for 30 minutes. I gave it to the girl to give him, and 
didn't even go to see the man. I just said, "Give him this and tell him to sip it very slowly for 30 minutes, and his headache should stop when the 30 minutes are over." (This was not a drug. This was a food that can be found in most homes.) "Tell him I 
don't mean 28 minutes, and I don't mean  29 minutes, I mean sip it 30 
minutes. But probably before the 30 minutes are over the headache will stop. And as soon as the head ache stops you have him come and 
knock at the door." Nineteen or twen ty minutes later he knocked at the 
door and I said, "Come in." He came in and I said, "So you are the person who had the head-
ache are you?" "Yes," he said, "I want five gallons of that stuff." "You don't need any of that any more at all," I said. "What do you mean? This is the first thing that stopped my head-
aches. I was told just today to eith er get rid of the headaches or my 
company is going to get rid of me. I told them, 'You are the doctors, you get rid of it. I'll do anything you say.' They said, 'That's beside the point. You get rid of the headaches or we'll get rid of you.' And that is why I called you. Now then, you've got me rid of the headache with this for the first time and I want five gallons of it." I said, 'Tm sorry but you don't need five gallons of it. The numbers 
indicated your problem is tuna fish. You are allergic to tuna fish. Don't eat any more tuna fish and you won't have any more headaches." "I like tuna fish! I eat it three or four times a week," he said. "Well, that's what is causing th e headaches. There may be some-
thing else you are allergic to. Come to see me in four to six weeks and let me know. But if you'll leave tuna fish alone you won't have any more headaches," I said. In five weeks he called saying, "Mr. Reams, no more headaches. No more tuna fish. I'm fine." Tuna fish in this man's system was creating a pancreatic enzyme 
reaction which was causing a displacement or confusion of the potas-sium and oxygen for the brain, and was short-circuiting before the 99 blood got in his brain because of th e particular poisoning this was to 
his system. What I'm saying is that allergies are a mineral deficiency. This is how accurate the RBTI tests are. In this case you may ask, "How come if you eat tuna fish that has 
mineral in it that it created  a mineral deficiency?" The minerals in the fish prevented the minerals that he needed 
from becoming available. In other words, the digested fish created a catalyst, which prevented the potassium and oxygen from performing its duty in the brain. It was as plain as the nose on your face to fix. So much suffering can be prevented when you work on cause rather than 
effect. Within the last year I had a call from a medical doctor who had 
done a test on a two-year-old baby. The first question I asked after he read the lab test numbers to me was: "Does this baby have seizures? " "No," said the mother. I then said, "The baby is in the zone for seizures. And since it does 
not have seizures, I don't see what the problem is." "The baby has convulsions," the mother replied. I said, "A convulsion and a seizure is the same thing. The problem 
with the baby is low blood sugar." I knew it was that and for the baby to have seizures, but if she wants to call it a convulsion then it is a convulsion. Most all babies that have convulsions, the problem is low blood sugar. The quickest way to bring a baby out of the convulsion is to place a little honey in its mouth a nd in one minute it will be out of 
the convulsion. The modern tests that doctors do on blood chemistry for low blood 
sugar, and even the glucose tolerance tests, are very difficult to locate low blood sugar, and the blood sugar problems. The glucose tolerance test is only at its best 50% accurate, and that 
misses it by a lot, too far for safety. There are those who have said it misses it 85% of the time. The very first RBTI test will denote if there is a low blood sugar 
problem. For 23 hours and 55 minutes of a day the blood sugar may be perfectly normal. But for the next five minutes the blood sugar may drop too low, and the person feels like he is going to die, or may have 100 a blackout. It is one of the worst feelings in the world. By the time he 
can get to a doctor, the doctor can find nothing wrong because the 
adrenalin glands have started to flow and the blood sugar is back to normal, and the doctor says, "It is all in your head." It was all in the head, but the doctor didn't find out the cause for it. In low blood sugar the blood does not take enough oxygen to the brain, and it was "in the head." I have had people with low blood sugar that would go into coma at 
any time of the day or night, and the doctors knew nothing to do about it. In a matter of two or three weeks with an individually-made diet we would have them completely free of the low blood sugar problem. Low blood sugar is caused by the pancreas manufacturing too 
much insulin. There are foods that cause the pancreas to manufacture and flush too much insulin. So the doctors take patients off of all sweets and carbohydrates because they have found some whose pan-creas flush es because they use certain sweeteners or carbohydrates, and they put them on an all-protein diet, which raises the urea, causes them to be more tired, puts them in the zone for pectoris heart attack, and, therefore, "robbing Peter to pay Paul." The patient won't die at the moment but probably will die much earlier with pectoris heart at-tack. This type of person must be in a retreat and each day have a given 
diet, and each day the medical doctor on the staff serving that patient can tell them by the diet they had the day before which carbohydrate has caused the pancreas to flus h, or which carbohydrate caused it not 
to flush. Then the patient is taken off those carbohydrates that cause the pancreas to flush and they no longer have low blood sugar. It is just as simple as that. But these tests are the only tests that can detect every stage of high and low blood sugar, and are accurate. In the low blood sugar range there are people who have other 
problems besides the low blood sugar problem. They may have the low blood sugar and may have a very high urea. The diet for the very high urea, and the low blood sugar are opposite. There is no way to handle this kind of problem without having the 
person in a place where they can be tested two or three times a day so 101 that blackouts or seizures can be prevented. It only takes about two 
weeks to correct this kind of a condition. I wish it were possible for us 
to give everyone a diet so no one would need to go to a retreat, but this is not possible because of the necessity of running a test many times a day. The American Medical Association often complains about the 
prices that are charged in the retreats for services that we give on diet. The prices are about the same as staying in an A-class hotel. This price is the total of all tests, dietary aids, and diets. The hospital rates generally start at $75 a day for room only, be-
sides the doctor fee and other tests that are made. In one Los Angeles, California, hospital that I was in this past year for 12 days, my room rate was $350 a day. Now, who is giving the rip off, the medical doc-tors in the hospitals, or we in the retreat with the health message as written in the Bible? We are not running hospitals. We are not running drug centers. We are running seminars in which we teach the health message as written in the Bible. We are not treating diseases. We are teaching people how to live 
without drugs and to live healthy. Many people are coming to spas and retreats because drugs have 
failed to get them well. Operations have failed to get them well. Many 
of those coming are young people, some just children. As a means of last resort they search out any place where they 
have hope, where they can get encouragement. They are disenchanted, disappointed, brokenhearted over brainwashed ideas of what drugs can do. The drug establishment is trying to make people stay on drugs 
even when many medical doctors know that no drug can heal. Medicine is the practice of drugs, it is not a food. In fact, many 
doctors pooh-pooh the idea of food having anything to do with a per-son being in the best of health. Therefore, when I am accused of prac-ticing medicine without a license on a subject that is pooh-poohed by the drug establishment, it proves that I am not practicing medicine without a license. I am practicing drugless therapy, and medicine is 
the practice of drug therapy. 102 If you wish to get well on drugs, I have no objection. If you wish to get well by the use of God's plan of a better diet, I 
have no objection; or the use of both drugs and food, but I do maintain that this is America and that you have a freedom of choice to choose the way and to whom you should go with your health problems. You should have the right to choose if you are carried to the cemetery young, or live in the best of health to a ripe old age. Anything less than this is tyranny. 103 CHAPTER 14 
OBESITY 
 
Obesity, or not obesity, that is the question! There are many causes for weight problems, and only about 2% of 
overweight people are obese. I would venture to say that 95% of the 2% are ill. There is a reason for them to be obese. A 28-year-old woman came to my office who weighed 550 
pounds. However, she was 6' 4" and had a big frame. It was all we could do to get her through the door. She was the biggest person for whom I had ever written a diet. It took two scales to weigh her. She had six children. Two years prior to coming to us she had been put on the birth-control pill, and immediately began to gain weight. For the previous two months before she came in she had gained 55 pounds each month. She had been told she would be dead within 90 days be-cause there was no way to stop this weight gain. They owned an or-namental nursery, and she was a very hard worker. The first thing I did after the test was to suggest she stop taking 
the birth-control pill. Second, to take her off of all wheat and milk products. I then furnished her with a refractometer to measure the car-
bohydrates in the urine so she could keep them between 1 and 2 brix (the measurement of sugar per pound of volume) on the refracto dial. I told her to eat nothing but vegetables, lots and lots of raw salads, and no meats at all until I gave her the word to eat meats. She was to drink raw vegetable juices made with a juicer. She didn't have a juicer, she had to buy one. I wanted her to come back in two weeks. After two weeks she had lost 12 pounds. I then put her in bed for 
two weeks on nothing but lemon water and distilled water (four ounc-es lemon water every hour for 12 hours a day, and four ounces of dis-tilled water every half hour for 12 hours a day). All she was to do was to go to the bathroom. No work. No noth-
ing. 104 The reason for not being on the lemon water for the first 14 days 
was because the urea was so dangerously high that if she had gone in-
to a withdrawal it could have caused a heart attack. The diet I gave her 
brought the urea back down out of the zone for a pectoris heart attack. Then she was put on a very, very light diet for another two weeks. I was to have a report every other day. If she got weak or hungry I was to be notified. The thing about it was I wanted her to rest. If she had tried to work then the lemon water and the water would not have taken effect. She would have been burning up the very energy she needed in order to restore her body chemistry so that it would rebuild itself. The next 14 days she was to have a very, very light diet with a 
very small amount of food and continue on the lemon and water. She said she lost no strength, that she felt wonderful. By the end 
of the fourth week it was very difficult to keep her down. By this time she had lost 60 pounds of weight. I restricted her work to one-half day in the ornamental nursery. It was to be very, very light work. She was to continue on the lemon and water and a very light diet, along with lots of vegetable juices, very low carbohydrates, a little fruit for break-fast and no more throughout the day. She continued to lose 50 pounds a month until her weight dropped to 260 pounds, which was about normal for her big size. To this day sh e is still that size. This was in 
1968. The refractometer I had given her is an instrument to measure the 
total carbohydrates in the urine. She kept her urinary sugar between land 2. She had to keep it there and it  was very difficult to do because 
her own fats turned to sugar. But she did it and is the picture of health today. She can pick up and carry 300 to 400 pounds. This is one case where the birth control pill caused overweight. It caused the pancreas to stop manufacturing thyroxine. The pancreas takes the glycogen from the liver and manufactures 
thyroxine out of it. It goes to the thyroid gland which adds potassium to it, and the potassium then forms with the thyroxine and forms a substance similar to grandma's old-fashioned soap, which dissolves the excessive oils in our body and is a weight-control factor. It is the governor for weight. The birth cont rol pill upset the thyroxine manu-105 facturing in the pancreas and therefore it didn't manufacture enough 
and the lady just kept putting on weig ht. This is one great cause of 
overweight. You can go on all the calorie-counting diets you want and if this is 
the problem you will starve to death and still won't lose any weight.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        Cal-cium per one cubic inch would weigh more than potassium, and much more than phosphate. Oxygen would be heavier than nitrogen. Nitro-gen is heavier than helium. Rememb er, we do not live on the foods we 
eat, we live off the energy from the foods we eat. The energy is created in various organs at a varying ratio of differ-
ent elements. For instance, the brain contains more potassium, that is, it is higher in the brain cells. The liver contains more calciums than anything else. The liver contains the greatest amount of calciums but the next highest is iron and iodine. The heart contains much calciums 
but the next very essential element is arsenic. (If there is enough arse-nic in colloidal phosphate form in the diet you will not have heart 71 valve trouble, heart weaknesses or heart skips, which develop in later 
life. ) The total sex organs, male and female, contain more manganese 
than any other elements. The manganese is the one element that con-tains the power of life. Without manganese there would be no life up-on the earth. It is the key factor of all the elements which is responsi-ble for life to continue. An excellent example of manganese deficien-cy can be seen when you open a peach seed and the seed spreads open. But if it is a severe manganese deficiency there will not be any seed inside of the stone or pit. It will be decayed, or just a bit of pulp with no life in it. Another example is a peanut which has a shell but 
has nothing in it (called pops), or a pecan with the meat of it greatly dehydrated, or half of it is black, or has no meat in it at all. Whenever people do not get enough manganese from the food 
they eat then it is the first sign of the beginning of a loss of energy, and delta cells and omega cells (carcinoma, or cancer) are beginning to occur in these organs. In the medical books there are no terms for perfect cells, only terms for carcinoma, or cancer cells. We have made some new terms of names for cells in order to say more accurately what we mean. An ALPHA cell is a cell with 100% of its reserve en-ergy. A DELTA cell is an in between cell that has lost some of its re-serve energy, it is wearing out, but has not yet worn-out. An OMEGA cell is a cell with no reserve energy, it is worn-out like a tire that is ab-solutely impossible to use any more, cannot be patched up, is beyond use. In this way we can zero in on the exact loss of energy because the 
delta cells are losing energy but the omega cells are not losing reserve energy, they are already dead. A deficiency in potassium over a period of time could lead to a 
brain tumor. A deficiency in iodine and iron in the liver, as well as calciums, 
and deficiency of oxygen in the lungs could eventually lead to cancer of the liver, or any other organ, if this condition is permitted to con-tinue over a long period of time. The weakest part of the body will be affected. 72 If there is a phosphate or calciums deficiency it could eventually 
lead to cancer of the bone, and also  cavities in the teeth. There can be 
two reasons for the mineral deficiency. One is that the gastric juices 
are too dilute to digest the chlorine, fluoride, calciums, and phospho-rus which are necessary to make the enamel in the teeth. The second is even though the gastric juices are strong enough to assimilate them, the foods may not contain these elements. In the RBTI the tests denote these deficiencies and are shown in two ways: 
LOSS OF ENERGY, 
WHERE THE LOSS OF ENERGY IS. Consequently, the RBTI tests can predict as much as ten years in 
advance where cancer will strike, or whether or not the person is go-ing to have a heart attack, or whet her or not there are going to be 
health problems. The deficiencies may linger for a long time. This is explained further in the discussion of the numbers which denote these deficiencies. One of the great problems today is the deficiency of minerals in 
the foods that we eat, whether it is fresh, canned, frozen or whatnot, it is a deficiency, or has a lack of mineral. I am going to lay this blame strictly where it should be: the agricultural experimental stations. I'm not casting reflections on any one person, all I'm doing is stating a fact for most of our textbooks on agri culture are written by the experi-
mental stations under the supervision of the fertilizer and the insecti-cide companies. Most of our college graduates in agriculture today learn to do 
three things: to buy fertilizers, machinery and sprays. I was in the agriculture engineering business for 38 years, and had 
32 engineers working for me when I retired in 1968. We were teach-ing farmers how to get a greater yield at less cost per acre. But the ex-perimental stations fought us in every way possible. They never missed an opportunity to slander the work we were 
doing. However, our work prospered, and we were never able to catch up with all the requests we had for help. The average farmer in the United States today is producing less 
than 25% of what that farm is cap able of producing. The greater the 73 yield per acre the higher the mineral content. The higher the carbohy-
drate content the higher the yield per acre. The higher the yield of an acre the less time it takes to produce it. High quality produce with a high carbohydrate content will not rot, it will dehydrate but it will not decay. A few years ago I showed in a fair in Orlando, Florida, for three consecutive years the same watermelons. They were marked and kept under supervision and under the eye of the county agent. The melons had been picked eight months before they appeared in the fair the first time. The most successful farmers today have their own business, and 
their own soil scientists to guide a nd direct them, and they are not giv-
ing out this information to anyone whatever. A very simple example is this: the difference in hard wheat and soft wheat is solely in the min-eral content that is in the soil. If the mineral content is high enough in the soil it is hard wheat. And if it is not high enough it is soft wheat. I know there are wheat growers who will disagree with this. However, 100 years ago much of that same soil produced hard wheat, and today it is producing soft wheat. This fact cannot be denied. Many com growers used to produce 200 bushels of corn per acre, 
and some of that same soil is down to 50 bushels yield per acre now. This is because the mineral has been taken from the soil and has not been replaced. The Bible prophecy is true: the earth shall wax old like 
a garment. Men shall become weaker but wiser. These minerals are available, and are very economical to put back into the soil to help make American people more healthy. Any farmer who is not producing 200 bushels of com per acre, 
two tons of peanuts per acre, 20 tons alfalfa per acre, or 20 tons of wa-termelon per acre should be ashamed. We are teaching seminars in agricultu re to teach the farmer how to 
produce a greater yield per acre at less cost per pound or per capita. This system works, and is proven. No one person, no one doctor, no one dietician, no one merchant, 
no one farmer, no one dairy farmer, no one meat producer is responsi-ble. It is a chain reaction that is cause and effect of our entire society 74 regarding good health. Therefore, if we want to be healthy the best 
way is to use a very, very great variety of foods. In the laboratory tests that we do, the Reams tests are standard la-
boratory tests, made by standard laboratory instruments. I was the first man to apply these biological needs to the function-
ing of these instruments. The Lord taught me how to do it, and this is the forty-sixth year that this system has been in use, and has been proven accurate. One of the problems that we have been facing for the past 21 years 
is the state laws made by the drug establishment, which has greatly re-stricted this knowledge, or greatly  kept this knowledge from the peo-
ple. Consequently, I have been in hot water so to speak with the drug establishment. I have been fighting them in the courts now for nine 
years. And the battle still continues. One of the great things that is going for the American people is the 
National Health Federation, the International Cancer Society, and the International Association of Cancer Victims & Friends. These have done much to help in the fight for the freedom of choice and to en-lighten the people on their rights to choose whom to go to with their 
health problems. Humanity changes very slowly. An example of this is Moses lead-
ing the children of Israel from Egypt into the promised land when they were marching through the valley of snakes and serpents. Moses put up on a pole a serpent and said to the people that all 
who would look toward the serpent on the pole would be healed. Most of the people refused to look because they said it wouldn't do any good. So humanity today hasn't changed very much. They know to do better than they do. They are told what to do and they won't do it. Many people come with dietary probl ems. They get tested and the 
moment they think that they are goi ng to live they go back to the old 
system until they again think they are going to die. Then they get test-ed again and get back to the point where they think they are going to live, and over and over they go through the same process. Never well, never sick enough to die. This is human nature. 75 It is quite disheartening to the doctors and the testers who know 
that they are able to help get the people practically well and the people 
then not seeming to want to be perfectly well. They just want to be able to think they are well. They want to do 
what they want to do. It is an interesting fact when Moses was leading the children of Is-
rael out of Egypt, in two years they arrived at the promised land. But the oldtimers were afraid of the enemy. They were afraid of change. They didn't want to rock the boat. Consequently they didn't get into the promised land. So for 38 years God let them march in the wilder-ness, until all the oldtimers died off. Then God took the young people into  the promised land. Even so 
today, the RBTI probably will be accepted by the young people. People who break the rules of health grow old prematurely. So naturally they go to a premature grave. There are many names 
for the diseases that caused them to die. However, the cause of the death was a mineral deficiency. All illness is a result of a mineral deficiency. No drug can supply a 
mineral deficiency. The reason most people get well in the hospital is because they rest. Some illness comes about because people do not rest, and lack of rest depletes minerals. The only way health can be re-stored is to supply the mineral needed for God to restore the decayed tissues. If we will supply the minerals, God will do the rest. A famous doctor once said, "All I do is entertain a patient while 
nature heals. " In the process of healing there is a divine process and a miracle in 
itself. We cannot do miracles. We can onl y set the stage for God to do 
His miracles. One of the saddest things about Am erica is the fact of how much 
we are abusing our children. The public schools are often giving them foods that their bodies cannot digest, and they are getting diets all alike regardless of whether or not their body chemistry is synchro-nized to accept it. If the body is not s ynchronized to take food then the 
food moves the body chemistry out of the range of perfect, and the 76 further from perfect range the body chemistry gets, the more ill one 
becomes. It is not practical for every child in a public school to have the ex-
act same food. Some have diabetic tendencies, some have low blood sugar tendencies, and some have digestive problems, some are over-weight, some are underweight, some have worms, some have hyper-tension problems, and all of these can be corrected by diet. But in or-der to do that, tests have to be made. There are three groups of food that will fit all categories of chil-
dren's diets that can be served in any school. My dream is to see that the RBTI be used in all schools and diets 
made to fit the children by groups instead of each child choosing what food he wants in his lunch. And also helping parents in the home to supply the need of the children. The purpose of the RBTI test is to determine whether or not the 
body chemistry is too acid or too alkaline, whether it has or is accept-ing too much carbohydrates, or whether it is not getting enough, whether the body is retaining too much salt or not enough, whether the body is digesting the proteins or not digesting the proteins, etc. It is God's plan in bringing anyone's health back to perfect. The RBTI works well on all people whose body ch emistry will receive or will re-
spond to diet. There is less than I percent of all the people who are placed on a diet to bring their body chemistry back into a perfect range whose body will not respond. This is because there is either brain damage, a tumor of the brain, a potassium deficiency, or low blood sugar in which the brain is not getting enough oxygen, or brain injury or damage to the central nervous system (which is the nerve that takes the message from the brain to the vital organs). This plan of diet is not the practice of medicine in any shape or 
form, because everyone is on some kind of a diet, either good or bad. Some people are inhibited by cigarettes and some are not. Some people are inhibited by drugs, 80 percent given by medical 
doctors. (The other 20 percent of the people on drugs buy them on the black market. ) 77 Some people are inhibited by diet. Their body accepts too much of 
one thing and not enough of the mineral and vitamin content of anoth-
er. All the RBTI diet does is correct a person's mineral and vitamin 
deficiency. If the person gets well, it's not my fault or anyone else's I have taught. God does it. No one can heal another; only God can heal. There have been some very simple instruments made that will be 
on the market soon that the housewife may use. Instruments that will be easy to use and read, as a watch dial which will show the mother how to prepare a diet for her family. If there is some member in the family that needs a different diet, these instruments will show her how to make the diet for this particular individual. This will be one of the greatest factors in the world to prevent family illnesses. This will give a family more money for pleasure and the things they want to do, and to be healthy. It will decrease the loss of man hours due to illness by hundreds of percent. More progress has been made in every field of science than has been made in the field of health for the people of this world. The purpose of this book is to enlighten the people that it is easier 
to be healthy than it is to be sick. 78 CHAPTER 9 
REAMS BIOLOGICAL THEORY OF IONIZATION 
 
The theory of ionization was discovered after a father with a three 
and one-half-year-old child had been to a medical doctor. The child was having seizures and was diagnosed as an epileptic. The doctor had told the parents that this child would go into a sei-
zure and would not come out and could not live to be five years old. "You just have to do something for my child for drugs have 
failed," the father of the child said. They lived two doors from us. I knew the boy well. When I went to the laboratory that night I just sat for three days 
and nights wondering where in the world to start. What could I do. What approach should I use. Mother would bring my meals to the lab, and from one meal to the next I would not have touched the previous meal. The days almost seemed like minutes as I was meditating around the clock. I didn't sleep at all, I was so engrossed in the prob-lem at hand. I was not even sleepy. On the end of the third day the thought came to me that if I knew 
the mathematical chemistry of perfect health, then tests could be run on the boy's body chemistry and we could find out how far from per-fect his body chemistry was, and then we could make a diet and bring his body chemistry back to perfect. It was then I started from the knowledge of frequencies I had on 
grapes. It was the only thing I knew the frequency of at that time to calculate, or you might call it "dead reckoning," what a human anato-my should read if it were perfect. I'm sure that an angel held my hand for in four days I had come up with a formula which I consider today to be perfect for human anatomy, regardless of the age of the person. This was almost four years before I had discovered the frequency of the human being, which proved that this equation was indeed correct. I asked the parents to bring the little fellow in and we'd run tests 
on him. The first equation was much longer than the equation we have now. We ran tests on stool, blood, tears, ear wax, finger and toe nails, 79 sweat, hair, urine and saliva. As far as I know I was the first person to 
do a hair analysis. After a week I had completed the test and was 
amazed at how much duplication there was. I began to drop off vari-ous things in the next three years until I had left only the equation I now use. We had the parents come in and made a diet for the boy, and 
found he was not an epileptic at all, but that he had low blood sugar, which was causing the seizures. His pancreas was manufacturing too much insulin. We corrected the diet by using fresh green, raw chloro-phyll. We used some St. Augustine grasses and ground them in a food chopper, put them in a strainer and pressed out the juice with a fork. We didn't have juicers at that time, as they had not yet been invented. Immediately, the boy began to improve. In three months there 
were no more seizures. In a year he was doing well. Then the family moved to Texas, and I didn't see them again for 35 years. I was on the streets of Orlando, Florida, near the corner of Church Street and Or-ange Avenue when a young man came to me and said, "Are you Carey 
Reams. " "Yes," I said. "I know you, but you do not know me," he said. I said, "No, sir, if I've ever seen you I don't remember. " Then he told me, "I'm the little fellow who had the epileptic sei-
zures, and you gave me a diet. I remember you real well. I never had another seizure. When I was seven years old, we were in a little acci-dent and I had a light seizure and went into shock. But I've never had another since that time. " This was my first test of this ionization theory. From time to time I was called upon to do this test. I had talked to 
different doctors about it. At this time I still had the medical laborato-ry, and doctors began to use it some and found the test to be accurate. When I discovered frequency it was brought about by two police 
officers bringing some ashes from a building that had been burned. They had reason to believe that the ashes were from humans, or possi-bly an animal. The undertaker had a crematory (he and my father had been friends). I had known him all my life. I went to him and told him 80 my problem, and asked to borrow some ashes of a corpse where he 
knew the sex, age, height, weight, and color of hair. In two weeks I 
had established the frequency upon which human beings live, and could even tell the race, but could not tell anything about the age be-
cause the age of carbon is measured in  thousand of years. I returned to 
the crematory every atom of the ashes. I was able to determine that there were two fern ales and one male 
in those ashes. I did the work for the police department for a number of years, until I went to war and then I gave it to the Commission. They don't follow it anymore because it is an aggravation to sit in court for a few days waiting to testify for the little bit you get for the testimony of it. Police departments today can determine if it is human or animal ashes. This was one of the steps in which the RBTI was dis-covered. I sold the medical laboratory, and then spent my time in the Agri-
cultural Engineering field. I knew I had something, but did not know where its strong and weak points were. When any chemist or physicist makes what he thinks is a discover y, the first things he wants to know 
are: 
Is it real. Is it true. Does it work every time. What are the exceptions. I did then what is the duty of every scientist and physicist: set out to prove that this theory was not true. The theory of the entire equation is: Whether the body has too much carbohydrate, or not enough. Whether the body chemistry is too acid, or too alkaline. Whether the body is retaining too much salts or not enough. (There are many different kinds of salts. Chloride salts, and salts 
without chloride. Even insulin is a salt. ) Whether the body is throwing out the worn-out cells, or not throw-
ing out the worn-out cells. Whether or not the proteins are digesting. Whether there is too much manganese, or not enough. 81 Whether there is too much iron, or not enough. Whether there is too much iodine, or not enough. Whether there is too much arsenic, or not enough. Whether or not there is enough potassium, phosphates, etc. , of all 
the elements. The perfect equation is:  
ͩ. ͭ	(ͩ)				ͮ. ͬͨ	(ͪ)
ͮ. ͬͨ	(ͫ)
ͭ)					ͫ	(ͮ)
ͫ	(ͯ) 
 
The first number denotes the carbohydrates (1. 5). The numbers (2) and (3) denote the lack of calciums, or the re-
sistance between the anions and cations, the anions and anions, cations and cations. This is a key factor in measuring the total amount of en-ergy in our bodies, and is the key factor in the reserve energy, howev-er, it is not the whole key. The pH (measure of resistance) factor is number (2) and (3). The top number is the pH of the urine, and the bottom is the pH of 
the saliva. The numbers are not fractions. The fourth number denotes the total salt measurement in micro 
numbers. This indicates whether the body retains too much salt or not 
enough. This is done through the process of elimination, which is a mathematical calculus equation. The fifth number indicates the basic change of worn-out cells. The sixth and seventh numbers cover or indicate many things. If 
these numbers are running too high it indicates that the proteins are turning to urea because of the high salt, and causes the heart to beat too hard, and the person is a candidate  for a pectoris heart attack, also 
the person is too tired, or tensions are building up. If the worn-out cells are flushed out of the system in three days it does not turn to 
urea. Urea is undigested protein. The iron, iodine, manganese, and arsenic are measured by the pro-
cess of elimination. 82 These numbers show where, or in what area or areas, is the great-
est loss of energy. The combined salt reading and the urea reading co-
vers many reasons for the loss of energy in the body. Practically all diseases start with mineral deficiency, which begins 
with the liver and has an effect on the other vital organs. As these vital organs begin to malfunction this affects the muscu-
lar action of the cranial nervous system, therefore it may make the symptom in a different location from the cause of the symptom. Here again we run into energy cause and effect. What the RBTI Test Will Not Do By taking the tests consecutively certain dietary patterns can be 
determined. Then we can zero in on the health problem. The test will not show gallstones because the gall bladder is so 
thin that when it stretches the energy is covering such a large area. However, there are other symptoms that show that there is a loss of energy in the digestion of foods because the bile has been in the gall bladder too long, and it is in a rather fermented state and therefore it upsets the digestive system. Then by deduction we can conclude that the gall bladder is not functioning normally. The stones receive energy but do not give it off. Nausea, and soreness in the solar plexus area are symptoms of a 
gall bladder disturbance. (The solar plexus refers to the area where the ribs connect to the sternum bone. The solar plexus is at the bottom of the sternum. ) Where ulcers have been many times the gastric juices kept the ul-
cers so clean until the energy was dissipated over such a large area that we could not pick them up on the first test. After three or four days of tests they are very easy to pick up and locate. The RBTI test does not pick up a broken blood vessel in which 
there is no loss of energy. It is just that the blood vessel is leaking a little bit of blood and no energy is lost because the tear in the blood vessel may be in the dermis of the skin or elsewhere in the body. If a hernia is completely healed and there is no loss of energy it 
will not show. However, the hernia can still be there and cause trou-83 ble. If that hernia has inflammation, and there is a high amount of cell 
decay, it will pick up this hernia. There must be a loss of energy in order for these equations to 
work. People who have a buzzing or bells ringing, or humming, or a 
noise in their ears, it is actually a t ype of energy and can be picked up 
in the test. This js because the energy gives off a little bit of heat, and 
the heat waves are striking the anvil of the ear and this causes the buzzing, humming or noises in the ear  which indicate an infection, or 
whatever the problem may be. This ty pe of energy is easy to pick up 
even in very small amount. These then are the weak points in the equation. 84 CHAPTER 10 
RANGE A – E 
 
In the RBTI equation there are five patterns that are away from 
perfect. The perfect range has numbers so many decimals on each side of 
perfect. The ranges are A, B, C, D,  and E. Range B is whole numbers 
away from range A. The C range is way out, it is a long way from range A. In range C the numbers are the farthest out above the ones in range A. That is, they are on the alkali side, or on the anionic side. In the range D the numbers drop below perfect, or on the lower 
side of the A range. In the E range the numbers are way out below the A and D range. People in the E range are near death. In these five ranges we have 2,600 differentials (i. e. we have 
26002600 different variations within the equation). To give a compar-ison of how great a number this is, here are some examples: 
3
2 means 3 times itself 2 times (3 x 3 =9) 
34 means 3 times itself 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3 =81) 
There are 80,000 standard drops of water in 4 liters (which is 
about one gallon) of water. That means there are about 23 standard drops of water in all of the oceans (i.
