Reams Biological Theory of Ionization
Reams Biological Theory of Ionization, referred to as RBTI, is the incredible work of the late Dr. Carey A. Reams (1903-1985). RBTI is a system in improving wellbeing that is centered around a 7-parameter urine and saliva test. The results of this test are used to guide individuals in what diet to follow, how to drink distilled water, as well how behaviors and cognition are affecting health. Dr. Reams utilized RBTI to help people in his health retreat. Today, many practitioners around the world utilize RBTI to effectively help clients improve their wellbeing thanks to the legacy left by Dr. Reams.
Dr. Reams was known as a man well ahead of his time. He was a mathematical genius, who was educated in mathematics, medicine, biophysics, and biochemistry. He made many discoveries and contributions to the health field as well as the field of agriculture. Reams had amazing abilities in testing soil and knowing exactly what was needed to restore balance in any situation from golf courses to farmed fields. He later took these findings and created a system which he applied to an overall and in-depth view of life and biological energy. This system he referred to as the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI).
“God is the basis of life, life is the basis of energy, energy is the basis of matter.”
Dr. Carey Reams
We are beings of energy, created by God, our source of energy. Remember the law of the conservation of energy, “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one state to another”. Remember too Einstein’s relativity equation, E = mc2. E refers energy, m refers to mass, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. Energy is mass times the speed of light squared! Expanding on these laws of physics, Dr. Reams developed an amazing way to very simply and quickly measure the energy of living things. Even more amazing is that this system of testing the energy, can be used for the maintenance, as well as the improvement, of health and well-being of people. RBTI is the map provided to a person on a journey to improve lifestyle.
Dr. Reams had adapted his system of testing called, The Reams Theory of Biological Ionization, from a soil and plant testing technique. Using laboratory instruments and techniques found in agricultural testing, Dr. Reams tested urine and saliva samples of human beings, thus creating a simple and non-invasive testing technique which an individual could perform in less than 10 minutes.
The Reams Test
The test consists of 7 parameters. Sugar brix (1.5); Urine pH (6.4); Saliva pH (6.4); Conductivity (7C); Cell Debris (.04M); Nitrate Nitrogen (3); Ammonia Nitrogen (3). Combined these parameters form the Reams equation of health displayed in the perfect numbers.

CS = Common Sense, PH = Perfect Health
This perfect equation represents the ideal cellular resistance required for life. This is very similar to 98.6 degrees representing the perfect temperature (resistance) for a healthy body. The higher the resistance, the higher the temperature and the lower the resistance, the colder the temperature. Death may occur from either extreme. The premise behind this theory is that if a person maintains a lifestyle that is conducive to consistently manifesting the perfect numbers, there would be no premature aging.
“We do not live off the food we eat, we live off the ENERGY in the food we eat.”
Dr. Carey Reams
How is energy created from the food we eat? As explained in the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization (RBTI), the process of ionization is the LAW OF PUTTING THINGS TOGETHER AND TAKING THEM APART, ION BY ION. Ions are either anions or cations. An “anion” is an ion with a negative charge and a “cation” is an ion with a positive charge. The electrons in the outer orbit of an anion move in an opposite direction than the electrons in the outer orbit of a cation. When they come together they create resistance. The resistance created between anionic foods and cationic foods in the human body gives off energy used for life. Resistance is required for life. The resistance between these orbiting anionic and cationic molecules in the human body creates the necessary energy for good health. On this same note, an excess or a deficiency of resistance can result in disease and death.
“Any day that a person burns up more energy than he assimilates from his food, that is the very first day of his illness.”
Dr. Carey Reams
According to Reams’ theory, we receive 20% of our mineral energy from this digestive principle of resistance. 80% comes from the atmosphere. The more efficient the digestion, the more efficient the body is in extracting mineral energy from the atmosphere.
After years of testing hundreds of foods, Dr. Reams found that all foods are cationic, with the exception of fresh lemons which are anionic. Liver bile he found is also anionic. The minerals calcium, potassium, and chlorine are anionic as well. To determine this he measured the pH. The pH is the measure of resistance between cationic and anionic in the body. If the pH reading is 6.4/6.4 for urine and saliva, a person is getting maximum energy from the food he is eating. Therefore, if this number is either higher or lower than this, over a long period time, too much energy is being lost, and illness begins.
The Reams test yields the proper information to mathematically analyze the body chemistry, the body’s energy. Based on this analysis, it is possible to prepare a customized diet that is designed to promote excellent health in people. Using food and specific nutrients based upon the test results, a person can balance their numbers, their chemistry, and ultimately their energy, to improve their health!
According to Reams’ theory, degenerative diseases are caused by a mineral deficiency in the cell structure of the affected organ or gland. The loss of reserve energy results. If, for example, the liver is deficient in calcium, it might produce only 50% of the anionic bile needed in the body, thereby throwing off the pH balance. If the body is deficient in potassium in the brain, or manganese in the reproductive organs, or copper, iron, or zinc in the colon, the cells cannot produce the normal amount of energy and will die prematurely. Fungus and bacteria often then invade these areas and affect the nearby healthy cells as well. The eventual result is decay. Decay is the complete loss of reserve energy.
The Reams Program
Body chemistry is corrected by following the Reams program. When the body chemistry is properly balanced, all the numbers in the equation are aligned. A Reams program includes drinking pure steam-distilled water which picks up excess salts and urea in the body and flushes them out. Distilled water also removes other toxins which have collected in the weakest parts of the body. These toxins are often responsible for causing pain in the joints and muscles.
The Reams program also includes using fresh lemon juice to improve the function of the liver. Liver bile in its purest state is a form of diluted hydrochloric acid. It is anionic. Fresh lemon juice is nature’s version of diluted hydrochloric acid and is also anionic. The liver can convert it into an astonishing number of different enzymes and vitamins. It is extremely important to build up the liver, as all diseases begin in the breakdown of this very important organ in the body.
The Reams program includes a variety of foods specific to balancing the body based upon the Reams test readings. It is also important to avoid substances or foods being consumed that are keeping the chemistry out of balance. These substances usually include alcohol, black tea, cocoa, refined white sugar and white flour products. These substances are found to deplete the minerals in the body and cause a loss of reserve energy.
Other than diet, additional behaviors are recommended in a Reams program. Proper rest is very important. Lack of proper rest will cause a loss of reserve energy. The emotional state of a person, such as the harboring of hate, anger or resentment, and un-forgiveness can also cause energy loss which leads to changes in the body chemistry that lowers immunity to diseases. It is well known that stress leads to disease, but also disease leads to stress. When the numbers come into balance, stress in the person is lowered, sleep comes easier, moods become more in balance, and over all sense of well-being is improved.
The Biological Theory of Ionization does work! I have used this system for my clients for many years. I’ve had people travel across the country to have the opportunity to get started on this fantastic road to wellness. Ultimately, the choice to get well is up to the individual. It requires Effort, Sacrifice, and Faith. Effort is made by making wise choices in food and lifestyle decisions. Sacrifice is made by avoiding those things that are keeping the numbers out of balance and are resulting in loss of reserve energy. Faith is required in any choice in health improvement because there is something far bigger than we are. When these procedures are followed consistently, a person can expect to achieve their health goals.
