“Why guess when you can be sure.”
~Carey Reams
Hi, I‟m author and independent health researcher Matt Stone of www.180degreehealth.com
Welcome to the weird, urine-scented world of RBTI – Reams Biological Theory of Ionization.
Yes, it‟s a catchy name I think. It‟s this catchy name that has made RBTI a household name
since its heyday in the 1970‟s.
Oh wait what? You‟ve never heard of it? Come on man! It‟s like, the Reams Biological Theory
of Ionization! It‟s the hottest thing since Richard Simmons bought his very first Thigh Master!
Errr wait, nobody has heard of it. Well, aside from a few hardcore health nerds like myself.
RBTI was started by an agricultural scientist named Carey Reams. Reams, in his early studies in
soil science, noted that soil with a higher mineral content (among other indicators of quality)
yielded vegetation that was resilient to disease and insect damage. Really outstanding soil
yielded complete disease and insect resistance. And the vegetables grown in such soil did not
rot. It‟s even allegedly possible to put two identical potted plants side by side – one in mineral-
rich soil and one in depleted soil, and watch one decimated by insects and the other completely
untouched – even with the plants so close that the leaves are touching.
In turn, Reams was able to observe that livestock feeding on vegetation grown in ideal, mineral-
rich soil, also were completely immune to livestock diseases and general common health
problems. Eventually, someone asked if he could do the same amazing things for the health of
humans like he had for plants and livestock. The rest is history.
Reams went on to test everything from human earwax to hair to sweat in the pursuit of
determining what exactly was ideal human body chemistry. Eventually he arrived at the
following equation…
1.5 6.4/6.4 6-7c .04M 3/3

The first number represents the dissolved solids in the urine as ascertained by a tool commonly
used in winemaking called a “refractometer.” Most of these dissolved solids are various sugars.
The 2nd and 3rd numbers, written as a fraction, are the urine pH on top, and the saliva pH on the
bottom. 6.4 is where anionic and cationic energies are equal (according to Reams), and where
the body picks up nutrients and energy from the food you eat at the maximal rate.
The 4th number is the salt reading. The “C” stands for “conductivity units” and is basically an
assessment of the total electrolyte content of the urine.
The 5th number is the albumin count. This is a visual count of the “dead cells” being excreted in
the urine.
The 6th and 7th numbers, also written as a fraction, are the ureas or undigested proteins in the
system.
Individually, these “numbers” as they are referred to, don‟t mean much. Collectively, and
paying careful attention to the natural fluctuations and interrelationships in these numbers – as
well as the overall “patterns” in body chemistry, they can paint an amazing picture of what is
going on in someone‟s body.
Reams was branded as being a mega quack for his ability to look at a set of numbers on a
notecard, ascertained from a simple urine and saliva test, and give an elaborate and long-winded
analysis based on those numbers that often included very specific observations such as “pressure
in the left eye,” “varicose veins behind the knees,” “carcinoma forming in the prostate gland,”
and on and on and on. These were observations he could make just by looking at a set of
numbers. He didn‟t need to actually see the person face to face.
His accuracy with this analysis was the stuff of legend. It was enough to earn him the reputation
of being a “psychic,” especially seeing that he was unable to really explain to anyone with any
kind of real coherence how he was able to see the things that he was seeing. People from all
over the world flocked to Reams‟s retreats – over 10,000 in total.
Despite his legendary reputation amongst the formerly ill, and apparently excellent track record,
Reams got reamed by the medical establishment – getting exiled from something like 6 U.S.
States during his tenure as a mere nutritional consultant and colon hydrotherapist.
Alternative therapies are generally disliked and distrusted by the mainstream medical
establishment. One with wild claims of achieving the seemingly-impossible on a regular basis
(like you know, eradicating cancer in 3 months, regenerating organs and vertebrae – that kind of
thing) raises even more eyebrows and red flags. And one that, in addition to all those strikes
against it, cannot be explained rationally or has any straightforward and agreed-upon scientific
explanation – well, they don‟t have much of an open mind about that. Reams certainly had all
the markings and telltale signs of being a total wacko imposter.
My first impression of RBTI was similar to the first impression that most people get upon their
first exposure. This must be total bullshit! But after spending 8 hours a day in RBTI clinician
Challen Waychoff‟s office for a month – doing exit interviews with all his clients both local and
distant, and experiencing some health improvements myself with some pretty lackadaisical
adherence to the basic program, I‟m now certain that it is not.
With my limited exposure to it, I cannot say for certain how consistently RBTI can perform.
Does it work for 40% of people? 95%? There‟s no way of knowing. What are its uses and
limitations? I don‟t know that either. I‟ve spoken with many people and heard their reports of
the impossible taking place – shoe size increasing 2 sizes in adulthood. Growing several inches
in adulthood due to full regeneration of the spine. Stage 4 breast cancer (1% survival rate) wiped
completely clean in a matter of months. 20 years of migraines gone without a trace in a week.
Chest pain so severe that the guy couldn‟t sleep on his back for years – and was sleeping on his
back by the 2nd day. Multiple seizures per hour decreasing to once daily by the end of a week
with complete eradication within a month. Tinnitus and TMJ improved. Depression and anxiety
gone. Heart arrhythmia erased.
The list goes on, and includes dramatic improvement in my own issues such as foot pain, nasal
congestion, and pet allergies, not to mention the loss of a couple inches around the waist eating
ice cream every day.
Needless to say I‟ve been humbled by the results that are obtainable through this method. And I
feel fairly confident that RBTI as practiced by Challen Waychoff could very well be the most
advanced and precise form of nutritional therapy currently in use worldwide.
By precise, I mean that Waychoff (and even me sometimes after just two months of exposure),
can sometimes tell what a person ate and what day they ate it that is not part of the program. By
precise, I mean that I have seen Waychoff pinpoint whether a person ate meat or a vegetarian
dinner 6 days ago. He‟s like Santa Claus. He knows when you‟ve been naughty and he knows
when you‟ve been nice. And he likes milk and cookies, and presumably elves and reindeer
although I haven‟t asked him about this directly yet.
When I heard about this I knew I had to see it to believe it. I immediately recognized the infinite
power in having such mastery over how diet and lifestyle effects basic body chemistry. And of
course I had to see if it really was possible or if this was just some kind of woo-woo rumor.
Well, it is true. And Challen is no psychic. The guy can barely find the Kosher section in the
supermarket or remember where he left his keys. He thinks he is going to get rich off of the Iraqi
Dinar revaluation for crying out loud (a cheesy internet scam)!
I‟m no psychic either and I‟m having my fair share of “psychic moments” as well. I told a lady
the other day that her coordination was a little off. Her eyes lit up. I told another lady she had a
congested liver and she had many medical tests to back this up. I told a guy he had a lot of
pressure in his chest and his heart was beating too hard, and that he could probably hear it
pounding against his pillow when he lays down at night. He said “Wow you are getting good at
this!”
It‟s all very simple and straightforward, and it‟s in “the numbers.” And when you reverse the
clear patterns that show these health problems following very simple, precise, and effective
protocols to do so, the problems start to reverse themselves or simply go away altogether.
I am infinitely grateful to have “discovered” this, and be the first health writer to bring it to a
sizeable audience. Although I don‟t know everything about what it can and cannot do, I
certainly know that this obscure, noninvasive, and undiscovered therapy, at the very least
deserves its place amongst both mainstream medicine and the countless alternative modalities
that can be found in just about every city in America.
It is my great pleasure to bring to you the simple and straightforward methods of balancing body
chemistry – keeping it stable in the range where, in the words of Challen Waychoff, “your body
is picking up the maximum amount of vitamins and minerals and energy from the food you eat,
and your body is healing as fast as Mother Nature will allow.”
When the body has the tools and stability to heal itself, it can do remarkable things.
A Little Background
Many months ago a small handful of people that I am in close communication with started
working with Challen Waychoff. Waychoff claims to have spent many years working in close
contact with Carey Reams – an odd old man no longer with us that had an affection for
nutritional excellence on the agricultural side of things. From this, and his studies of animal
health in relation to soil quality and vegetation quality, stemmed what turned out to be a very
powerful human health theory – the Reams Biological Theory of Ionization, or RBTI for short.
I got curious when I heard, consistently, that Challen Waychoff could look at the values on this
simple urine and saliva analysis, and tell someone what they had eaten that was forbidden on the
program, and what day they ate it. He could tell if they had been eating sweets at night or not.
He could tell how much water they had been drinking, or whether they were using regular table
salt to season their food or sea salt. I recognized, immediately, the nearly infinite power in
understanding, with such clarity and extreme specificity, how food influences body chemistry.
And that‟s what is really going on here. It is a system completely in and of itself. And the
interactions and dynamics between various levels in the “numbers” as they are called, are
predictable and revealing thanks to the four decades that Waychoff has spent trying to catalog
consistent associations and patterns in body chemistry – as well as fine-tune the diet, lifestyle,
and vitamin and mineral supplementation required to bring body chemistry into harmony.
In a sense, it lines up well with my own research – particularly that of early pioneers in nutrition
such as Weston A. Price, Sir Robert McCarrison, T.L. “Peter” Cleave, Denis Burkitt, Melvin
Page, and Roger Williams. All of these researchers noted time and again that when the vitamin
and mineral supply of the diet was degraded (this happened throughout history primarily through
the refining of carbohydrate foods into things like white flour, white sugar, corn syrup, and so
forth – but poor agricultural practices have certainly exacerbated this larger mineral loss),
“modern” disease emerged where it didn‟t exist prior. This was seen in the Australian
aborigines, in the Zulu tribe studied by Cleave, in Uganda and other parts of Africa as studied by
Burkitt and Howell, in India and Pakistan as noted by McCarrison, in the Pacific islands as noted
by Prior and Price, in the Eskimo and American Indian, in the Swiss and Gaelics, the Maori of
New Zealand, all over South America, and in animal studies cited by Roger Williams and
conducted by Robert McCarrison.
In essence, mineral depletion in the form of carbohydrate refining and poor agricultural practices
(soil depletion), predates the emergence of most of today‟s degenerative diseases – from the
early signs (tooth decay, crooked teeth, bowel problems, respiratory illness, etc.) to the long-term
accumulations of poor nutrition (heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, etc. – all diseases
virtually unknown in “primitive” populations that were found to consume up to ten times the
vitamin and mineral levels of modern man).
All these researchers understood fully that the depletion in these foods was the cause of
degeneration. It was obvious, observable, and undeniable. But no one could explain exactly
why or how the body broke down because of it. The same thing has been observed by
agriculturalists raising livestock. Good soils with a good mineral supply produce crops with
profound resistance to pests and disease. Good quality produce, as I can attest to having done
some gardening myself, literally does not rot. I‟ve eaten plenty of 4-month old homegrown
carrots without a trace of mold and as fresh and crispy as they were the day I pulled them from
the ground.
The crops and grasses grown from mineral-rich soil, of such high degree of excellence, in turn
produce cattle and other livestock that are nearly disease-free. Certainly much more healthy and
robust than cattle and livestock raised on poorer food. Any mineral problems in the soil can
yield severe debilitation, infertility problems, proneness to infectious disease, milk with lower
vitamin, mineral, and butterfat content – and so on. Imagine if livestock received more than 70%
of their calories from white flour, white sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and mineral-free fats
and oils what bad shape livestock would be in!!! Well, you don‟t have to imagine it. There is a
type of livestock eating such a diet. It‟s the American breed of the species Homo sapiens.
Mineral depletion is at the heart of RBTI. In fact, Reams proclaimed that, at the core, all illness
is caused by mineral deficiency.
Although I‟ve just been newly exposed to RBTI, I wrap my head around it like this…
If you have a tank of water with no minerals in it whatsoever, a pH of 7.0, and you put a small
amount of a highly-acidic substance into the tank, the pH of the tank of water will change
dramatically. It doesn‟t take much of a disturbance to change the environment of the water
substantially. Fill that tank with a ton of minerals of the kind and balance to keep the pH of 7.0,
and adding a little acid to the tank has very little effect. It is buffered by all the minerals and the
pH of the water in the tank is not really affected much.
That is more of a direct metaphor. One that‟s a little easier to understand might be if you had a
giant seesaw. If you have one person on each end, adding one person to the seesaw is enough to
make it swing wildly. But what if you have 1,000 people on each end and you add one person?
The seesaw might not even move. If it does it will be just a tiny wobble.
That‟s really what the RBTI is all about. It‟s about re-mineralizing the system so that body
chemistry becomes more stable as a direct result of this re-mineralization.
Most have thought, as did I in the beginning, that if we just ate like our ancestors somehow, we
could all return to the level of physical and mental fortitude that they apparently possessed
according to the reports of those who studied isolated peoples in the 20th century – like a Weston
A. Price for example. It didn‟t take long before I encountered the very simple fact that, when
your body is ill and depleted and not working correctly, you can‟t expect to digest and
metabolize food properly. You can virtually count on it being mismanaged upon entry into the
system, perhaps, in the paraphrased words of Robert McCarrison, “yielding byproducts harmful
to that organism.”
My favorite example of this has always been Grand Canyon National Park deer as cited by
author T.S. Wiley – after getting accustomed to eating human food, and getting very sick off of
it, the deer then could not return to eating their natural diet of grass successfully. Enough said.
This is what turned me on to focusing on raising metabolic rate. One telltale sign of illness and
degeneration in a human body is a reduction in body temperature below the formerly-established
“normal” or “ideal” human temperature of 98.6 degrees F (roughly 37 C). By eating an actual
excess of relatively nutritious food by modern standards and avoiding stress and strenuous
exercise, I discovered that this problem could be corrected pretty reliably – typically with
improvements in mood, health, and physical function to varying degrees.
But this too of course has its limitations. The weaker the person, the weaker their digestive
juices, and the more chaos is created by the ingestion of food. Someone with an eating disorder
for example might have a blackout after eating a big meal due to the rapid fall of sugar available
to their brains (not to be confused with blood sugar levels per se, which often move in opposite
directions as the systemic sugar levels as the adrenal glands activate to try and increase the sugar
available to the system). It didn‟t take long before I ran into a substantial amount of people that
simply couldn‟t get off the ground with the program. They were too ill. Too weak. And they
needed more specific guidance.
And body temperature is just one number. Just one indicator. It is a very revealing one, but it
still has its limitations, and there‟s of course nothing wrong with ascertaining more information
from a person‟s body to work with – such as the pH of urine and saliva, the dissolved salts in the
urine, the ureas or undigested protein that is built up in the urine, and so forth – some of the data
collected for doing the RBTI.
What RBTI tries to achieve is getting the body in a reasonable state where it can absorb vitamins
and minerals more effectively – and manage them correctly along with everything else. For
example, in RBTI, the body cannot absorb vitamin C until the urine pH is 6.2 or above. Thus,
someone trying to stuff themselves silly with vitamin C in an attempt to top off their nutritional
reserves and heal themselves isn‟t gonna get very far if they have a very acidic pH of say, 5.5.
But with RBTI you can identify it, fix it fairly quickly by consuming the foods and minerals that
raise pH towards the ideal 6.4 (where anionic and cationic energies are supposedly balanced and
most efficient according to Reams). At that point you can take vitamin C, absorb it, and often
experience rapid healing of all the tissues that were suffering dearly from inadequate vitamin C
supplies.
Along the lines of the seesaw metaphor mentioned earlier, the lower the mineral supply,
generally the greater the fluctuation in sugar levels from too high to too low (at least in the
beginning, eventually sugar levels become and stay elevated in a more pre-diabetic or diabetic
type of condition – this probably coincides with the onset of insulin resistance, but who knows).
In RBTI, the “sugar” level is measured by a tool called a refractometer (shown in the picture on
the title page). The meter measures the amount of dissolved particles, sugars included, in the
urine. Contrary to the commonly-held belief that only diabetics pass sugar in the urine, normal
humans pass a considerable amount of carbohydrate of many varieties in the urine. The
refractometer picks this up and is quite revealing. Many who have lifelong sugar regulation
problems swear by this tool. It is pretty impressive from what I‟ve seen of it so far.
Back to the idea of being on a violent sugar seesaw, this wild sugar ride, if not managed carefully
by following very simple but effective tips, leaves the body almost completely unable to heal.
Proper mineral and vitamin synthesis and absorption are difficult. Once again, RBTI tries to
flatline this wild ride and enable the body to heal and remineralize in ways that simply eating
nutritious food willy nilly cannot achieve – at least not with the same speed and efficiency.
I guess that‟s all I‟m really trying to get at. Screwing up human health was an easy process. We
just started eating a bunch of junk food depleted of minerals and the human body, collectively,
broke down. No more 32 perfectly-straight teeth or entire islands and villages with no signs of a
single heart attack or cancer (or even a pimple in the case of the Kitavans – there, I said
“Kitavan”1).
Going back in the opposite direction is harder than an Arkansas artery. There are many
roadblocks. And minerals don‟t just get into your body and act like your best friend. They are
directed according to your body chemistry and hormones. Taking calcium supplements doesn‟t
always make your bones stronger. With your chemistry off, you might find that calcium
hardening your arteries, giving you cataracts, and contributing to kidney stones. It‟s never what
you eat, it‟s what your body does with what you eat.
And that‟s exactly what RBTI aims to address. I believe it can do so very effectively from some
of the things I‟ve witnessed thus far. I heard more stories of the impossible happening in the
month I spent with Challen and his clients than in the previous five years of study and
communication. I‟ve done the best I could to actually contain my excitement (people still
1
Sorry, this is an inside joke to entertain my long-term followers. Carry on…
respond to me like I‟m reporting seeing a UFO, and am telling them that after being abducted
and subjected to probing in various orifices, the aliens, led by their leader David Wolfe, shared
their health secrets with me over a superfood smoothie).
I knew immediately that what I was witnessing made a lot of what is going on in the field of
health, nutrition, and medicine obsolete. And it is just the beginning of what is truly achievable I
suspect. After all, the farm Challen gets most of his food from is Pepperidge Farm. I‟ve even
renamed the line of frozen foods from Marie Calendar‟s to Marie CHALLENdar‟s to honor his
love affair with white trash cuisine (although I kinda have a crush on it too – I once made a bread
pudding with home-reduced Dr. Pepper syrup, Twinkies, and Krispy-Crème doughnuts… I
called it “In-Bread Pudding”).
Anyway, I don‟t want to go on and on about how theoretically the program might work. There‟s
not that much point to it. Those who have tried in the past have, generally-speaking, failed. And
in the work of Reams himself there is a plethora of factual and scientific error (like the belief that
black Africans absorb more of the sun‟s energy and therefore produce more vitamin D – it‟s
actually the exact opposite), which comes as a major turnoff and deal-breaker for many who
would have had fantastic results with the program if they hadn‟t talked themselves out of trying
it.
Then of course comes some of the other stuff Reams said and believed, which went well beyond
scientifically false and entered into the zone that is best described in modern lingo as “batshit
crazy.” But geniuses who created amazing things and had amazing scientific breakthroughs
often were nuts. That shouldn‟t invalidate their work. Don‟t judge Reams‟s therapy based on
his religious beliefs or scientific integrity. If you do, you will never get to take advantage of the
part of his work that really was valuable.
It shouldn‟t require too much of a leap of faith to be open to the idea that this program,
methodology, system – whatever you wanna call it, works.
All you have to digest is a few basic concepts…
A) Various health problems are associated with very set and predictable patterns in body
chemistry as revealed by the tests done in an RBTI urine and saliva analysis
B) Someone who has studied those numbers and how they are impacted and altered through
diet and lifestyle means for 40 years (to the point of exactitude that he can often tell what
day you ate a handful of nuts!) has developed a great degree of mastery when it comes to
getting body chemistry out of those zones associated with those diseases
C) When the chemistry goes out of the zone associated with a certain disease or diseases,
those diseases often disappear – or at the very least BEGIN to reverse themselves
It‟s really not that conceptually different than what Western Medicine is attempting to achieve
with drugs, lowering cholesterol or blood pressure for example in an attempt to prevent a heart
attack. But this system is simply easier, does not use drugs or herbs to force body chemistry to
move (which comes with penalty such as side effects and the development of new health
problems), and because of its simplicity and the understanding of why diseases develop in the
first place (poor mineral supply), it actually works. It takes the seemingly complex galaxy of
illness, and makes it quite simple, straightforward, and easy (relatively-speaking… healing ain‟t
exactly a picnic sometimes!!!).
And, as Challen says, “the secret is in the diet.” You don‟t have to study this for a lifetime to put
it into practice. While there are tons of aspects of this program, subtle nuances, and fine details
that I don‟t know a damn thing about – the bulk of it pretty much all boils down to eating certain
foods and avoiding others, eating on a certain schedule to work with the natural daily rhythms in
the sugar levels, following a few straightforward rules, and taking the right vitamin and mineral
supplements that counterbalance your current body chemistry. That and yeah, maybe firehosing
your pooper from time to time too, when needed.
And the good news is, you don‟t have to be fanatical about this to take advantage of some of the
simple principles. “It‟s not an all-or-nothing type of program” I often say. Even just eating on
the RBTI schedule is probably enough for some people to notice weight loss if needed, better
sleep, more energy, better digestion, and better moods.
So good luck. We are all very fortunate to have “discovered” Challen and his breakthrough in
how to get some of the amazing results Reams was able to. It can only grow and get better and
more refined from here. This is just the beginning of unlocking the potential of RBTI.
The Healing Range

The primary objective of RBTI, contrary to popular belief, is not to justify playing with your
own pee pee. Sure it‟s fun. We‟ve all done it. But no, that‟s not the primary goal. The primary
objective is to get the body into a range in body chemistry that, in the words of Challen
Waychoff, “allows your body to pick up the maximum amount of nutrition and energy from the
food you eat, and allow your body to heal itself as fast as Mother Nature will allow.”
Basically, you just try to get the body in a place where it can heal itself most efficiently. When
the body has the right tools, it can do amazing things.
Don‟t confuse the “Perfect Equation” with the healing range though. If your body chemistry was
“perfect,” you would probably be dying unless this perfect chemistry was arrived at from years
of strict adherence to the program. Often the body goes to “perfect chemistry” when it has
abandoned all attempts to heal itself. That is why one of the “rules” in RBTI is that when more
numbers are perfect or close to perfect on the first test, USUALLY the sicker a person is. I have
seen this for myself many times now. The best set of numbers I‟ve seen was in an uber-paranoid
woman with cancer who was totally shut down. This might not make sense until you develop a
greater understanding of what the numbers actually mean.
In other words, the perfect equation represents a body not healing. You can be really sick and
not healing, or just be not healing because you already healed everything. Big difference. One
person is in perfect health. The other is about to croak (this is why you can fast, drink excessive
amounts of water, or take herbs or drugs to get your chemistry almost to the perfect equation, but
be royally screwing yourself by doing it because you shut down your body‟s ability to heal itself
by doing so).
The healing range, or A range, represents a good, stable set of body chemistry that signifies your
body being predominantly in its healing mode.
On an 11am test, the healing range is basically having each test land within the following
parameters…
 Refractometer reading between 1.2 and 2.0

 Urine pH between 6.2 and 6.8
 Saliva pH between 6.4 and 6.8
 Salt reading between 6c and 25c
 Albumin count 4M or higher
 Urea total between 12 and 20
Ah, and you were thinking you wanted to be .04M and 3/3? No way! That would mean that
your body isn‟t cleansing out all the junk in your system. Do not get caught up on the “perfect
equation.” Having a set of numbers that looks like this will get you better grades on your report
card…
2.0 6.2/6.8 22c 4M 7+/9

That‟s what healing numbers generally look like, and they should gradually continue to move
towards “perfect” month after month of following the program until they become even more
solid – eventually stabilizing at what I would consider to be closer to “perfect” healing
numbers…
1.5 6.4/6.4 10c 4M 7/7

Basics of the Numbers

While there‟s no reason to be an expert on what all these numbers mean, nor is it my objective to
give you a lengthy sermon on RBTI – taking your focus away from what really counts, which is
how to follow the general program correctly… I‟m sure your curiosity will demand at least a
little familiarity. Well, here goes…
Firstly, you must understand that the primary objective of this book is to give you precise and
explicit instructions on how to follow the program correctly. That is pretty easy to learn, and I
have learned it pretty well in my first three months of exposure. This book is about sharing the
work of Challen Waychoff with the world. As of now, there is no such set of clear and concise
instructions on how to follow Waychoff‟s program correctly.
As far as theoretical materials on what these numbers mean and the basis of the ideas behind
RBTI, you can find those in a dozen places. Alexander Beddoe for example has written a
mountain of a text on RBTI. Waychoff has published 11 “books.” Michael Olszta has some
great materials on the subject. But of course, Waychoff‟s materials are not concise and clear. In
fact, much of what is in his books is totally opposite of what he practices. For example, he lists
white flour, white sugar, and salt as “no-no foods.” He eats these almost daily.
And you can read the theory put forward by Beddoe and Olszta all day long – but you are
unlikely to get the same results from following their guidance. Or at least not get the kind of
results that Waychoff is capable of getting with his clients.
So, having said that, here is a very superficial primer…

The “SUgar” NUmber

First off, the “sugar” number is of course not just a reading of the sugar in the urine. A
refractometer measures all dissolved particles in the urine. Why do you think people who use
saltwater aquariums use refractometers? To measure the sugar in the water? Ha! No, to
measure the salt in the water. Yet, winemakers use them too to see primarily the sugar content of
grapes before harvest. In short, the refractometer measures any and all dissolved particles.
Alone, the number might not be that useful, but of course you have the salt number too – and that
ratio is given very careful attention. What I‟m saying is that it is accounted for, even though
Challen himself, after decades of using the RBTI, still has no idea that there is salt being picked
up on the refractometer reading. But like I once said, he can think that the refractometer is
measuring the amount of alien lifeforms in the urine for all I care as long as he knows what the
ideal reading should be, how to get people there, and ultimately get a sick person well again.
That‟s really all I care about. I am unfazed by any scientific errors in the theory or in the minds
of the practitioners.
The ideal “sugar” reading is 1.5. Keeping your sugar level at 1.5 24 hours a day is more or less
impossible, especially as you are starting out and your mineral supply is low and body chemistry
unstable. But you still try to get the reading in the ideal range of roughly 1.2-2.2 for as much
time each day as you possibly can (warning: do not try to drive sugar number down by drinking
water in the evening… the after effects are not good).
When the sugar reading is too low, according to the RBTI theory, your body has to borrow sugar
from the system to do its healing work, and when this happens a loss of energy can occur, which
takes six days to recover from. So anytime the reading is too low, it is imperative to provide a
small bite or two of fruit or teaspoon of sugar (dissolved under the tongue if sugar levels are
below 0.5) immediately.
This is an important point. You are NOT trying to prevent your sugar levels from going too low.
Rather, you are trying to CATCH it when your sugar levels fall too low, and act accordingly.
For this reason, it‟s nice to have a refractometer handy and use it frequently to learn the basic
tendencies of your sugar levels, and some of the physical and mental changes that occur when
your sugar level goes too low.
In a normal person, sugar levels naturally dip in the middle of the day and rise in the evening.
Thus, eating your heaviest foods (the most meat, fat, rich desserts, and overall calories) during
the middle of the day is essential. By sending the sugar levels up here, you are actually keeping
them from rising so high later on, and this carries over into the next day – sort of flattening the
sugar curve and hopefully keeping it from going to such great highs and extreme lows.
Likewise, because sugar levels naturally go up in the evening, you don‟t want to push them up
even farther by eating heavy food like meat or desserts after 2pm. What goes up must come
down. Eating a heavy meal late at night often results in sugars crashing the following day, or
even in the middle of the night around 4am. “Filling the valleys and leveling the mountains” as
Challen likes to say. He also likes to say borderline inappropriate jokes. Although not even
close to inappropriate, I think my favorite is when he asked me…
“You know the one food that will completely ruin your sex drive right?”
“Uhhh, no,” I said, maybe thinking soy milk in the back of my mind.
“Wedding cake.”
The Urine pH
The urine pH is believed to represent the pH that the fluids in your body naturally gravitate to
(excluding blood and saliva). Reams believed that 6.4 is the ideal urine pH – not too acidic, not
too alkaline.
A very highly alkaline urine pH of say, 7.6, often signifies that things are travelling too slowly in
your body. Too acidic with maybe 5.5, and things are moving too quickly (this refers to the
speed at which electrons travel). While not everyone with a high urine pH is “constipated” in the
traditional sense of the word (I define constipation as having to strain to poop basically), it is
believed that more waste is accumulating in the transverse colon than is being excreted. The jury
may remain out on that one, but it is interesting that when a person eats something indigestible
(like nuts or seeds or overly-coarse whole grain or an excessive amount of raw lettuce or raw
vegetables), it does have a strong tendency to make the urine pH go alkaline. Performing a
series of enemas or colonics, if done properly, almost always results in the urine pH quickly
shooting down to 6.4 or even lower as body chemistry shifts.
I know that when my pH was 7.6 in my early days of RBTI, a single colonic shot it down to 6.2
the following day and my urine pH has never come back up that high again. Thus, expect to be
advised to do a little butt irrigation if you follow the program for many weeks and vitamin C,
citrus foods, and calcium lactate (the 3 things you‟ll be instructed to do if urine pH is too high)
fail to bring your urine pH down. Have fun with it. Make lots of perverse jokes.
More interesting and mysterious (but I‟ve found true) is that the higher the urine pH, the more
energy flows up on your body. My high pH for example, tipped off to Challen on my first test
that I…
1) Ate a lot of bananas (a very alkalizing food – great for those with a low urine pH)
2) Had really tender, weak, and aching feet that were losing minerals (minerals being pulled
from my feet upwards because overly alkaline energy pulls up towards the Van Allen
Belt in RBTI theory)
3) Had lower back pain (losing minerals from the bottom of the spine, and also had pain
from swollen transverse colon)
4) Had swelling in the throat and nasal passages, and had my tonsils removed from frequent
swelling in that region as a kid
Anyway, it‟s all better now and the pH of my urine usually runs right around 6.4 – although there
are fluctuations as low as 5.8 and as high as 7.2 depending on what I‟ve got going on in my
chemistry, and what time of day it is.
With the opposite problem – if my urine pH was 5.8, and my saliva pH was roughly the same, he
might think I eat pork or citrus in excess – or take a really high dose of unbuffered vitamin C
every day. Likewise, he might tell me I‟m losing shoulder mass and my neck hurts or at least
has a tendency to hurt (losing minerals from the top of the spine as opposed to the bottom), and
that my ankles/calves are swelling.
There are many other interesting things surrounding this very important number. Some things I
have found interesting is that most athletes tend to have an overly alkaline pH – the generation of
lactic acid makes their pH move closer to perfect and makes them feel better. They gravitate
towards and thrive with lots of sports and exercise. Acid people generally dislike hard exercise
more, as it makes them feel awful. Even sick.
Women with wide hips and big legs and small breasts tend to be more acidic, generally-speaking
(energy moving down towards the earth). Women who are overly alkaline tend to have chicken
legs and large breasts (energy moving up towards the Van Allen Belt). Likewise, the portrait of
an overly-alkaline man might be an NBA basketball player. Tall, very thin, almost non-existent
calves. It‟s interesting that the Masai tribe fits this description and they happen to live off of
milk, an extremely alkalinizing food.
Anyway, that‟s enough of that. Spend too much time in the RBTI vortex and you might get a
little silly. These are just things that make ya go hmmm. You don‟t have to get too wrapped up
in whether or not any of that is true. I just want you, if you feel like your body isn‟t working
quite right, to at least give RBTI, version Waychoff a fair trial. At the end of the day the
methodologies that stemmed from the theory, regardless of how outlandish and “the world is flat
and 2+2=7” some of the theory is, work remarkably well in a lot of people. It balances out
imbalances in body chemistry. That‟s when the magic happens. And the urine pH is a
particularly important number.
The Saliva pH
The saliva pH is generally looked at as a number that shows what‟s going on in the liver. Too
acid and your liver is irritated by something. Too alkaline and it‟s congested. Eating some of
the primary “no foods” seem to make the liver irritated. Eating too heavy late at night will often
make that saliva pH show some liver congestion. The saliva pH should stay pretty much in the
A range (6.4-6.8) most of the time if you are following the program correctly. If it is high and
remains high even though you are following the program correctly, you may need to do a coffee
enema. Again, this may sound scary or unpleasant, but it has a purpose and is never abused.
You know exactly when you need to do a coffee enema on this program, which for most people
is seldom or never. This stands in stark contrast to other advocates of coffee enemas, which
often recommend doing one daily or close to it for months! Lunatics I tellz ya!
The Salt Number

The salt number basically shows how much corrosion is going on with your blood vessels and
nerves. It is typically very easy to bring it down once you start the program. Drinking distilled
water will usually bring that right into range.
Many people hear “salt” number and think, “Well gee I do eat a lot of salty food.” I don‟t see
much correlation here. It‟s more of an internal management issue. You can still eat a fair
amount of salt – certainly enough to enhance the flavor of your food to your liking, and bring the
salt number down as much as 80% in just a few days (if doing what is called a “water wash” –
drinking distilled water every half hour, 8 hours per day, for 3-7 days typically). You can also
eat a low-salt diet and still have very high salt readings.
One of the most interesting things I‟ve seen with this number is that if the ratio of the salt
reading vs. the sugar reading is less than 4:1, then usually the person has some coordination
issues. The older a person gets, usually the more prevalent this becomes. This may have
something to do with hyponatremia (low blood sodium levels), I don‟t know. I did hear recently
that supposedly 50% of nursing home patients suffer from hyponatremia. Coordination is clearly
off in many nursing home residents. Someone should go test all their stinky old person urine and
find out. Not it.
The Albumin Count

This is just a visual count to see if there are some particles floating around in the urine. It
doesn‟t carry a whole lot of significance as you are on the program per se. The ideal is .04M,
basically crystal clear urine with no particles. But again, this only happens after you have fully
completed the healing process – otherwise your body is just shut down and not healing much at
all. The albumin is referred to as the amount of “dead cells” that your body is getting rid of.
You want it to be getting rid of a lot or “dumping” at times on the program. Some particle-rich
or even cloudy urine isn‟t abnormal. Or bad necessarily. But generally-speaking your urine
should become more lightly-colored and clear over time on the program – as your system
becomes cleaner and cleaner.
The Ureas
The top number is the test that turns blue and forms patterns when you do the test. Yeah, the
hard one to read that takes 5 minutes to develop – referred to as the nitrate urea. The bottom one
is the yellow one – to be read in 30 seconds after placing drops of ammonia in the well. The
ammonia urea.
The top or bottom number itself is not as significant as the total amount of urea that you see in
the two urea tests combined – added together that is. For example, 8/12 would be “20.” A level
above 20 indicates a lot of pressure on the cardiovascular system. If advanced, and very high,
there may be pain radiating down the left arm, or the shoulder may feel weak or “dead.” Some
of the most amazing results on the RBTI are achieved by lowering the ureas in people with
extremely high levels. This is done via a “water wash,” which is drinking distilled water every
half hour for 8 or more hours per day for up to a week in duration. This brings those numbers
down and takes pressure off the heart, getting it out of the “heart attack zone” where all that
pressure can cause the heart to spasm (heart attack).
Again, this is all in the RBTI version of science, which is sometimes a little off. But at the end
of the day, these high ureas are very significant for pressure in the chest and cardiovascular area.
And that pressure can be relieved quickly with a water wash. This is easy to see, and easy to fix.
People with advanced heart disease or peripheral artery disease and the like will typically have
very high salt and urea levels. Plain as day. And it‟s a quick fix to relieve it. Mind-blowing in
fact.
Pork elevates the ureas beyond where they should be more than any other food I‟m aware of.
When the ureas are low, below a total of 12, this is bad news too. This is very common in low
sugar people who are really low in energy, brain-fogged, and pretty feeble overall. This is
referred to as a “potassium deficiency.” When the ureas are below 12 people are encouraged to
eat the foods that bring the ureas up to normal, which are…
Salmon, sardines, grits, hominy, okra, and bananas (keeping in mind that bananas are not
recommended when you are in an overly-alkaline state).
In addition to that, those with a urea total below 12 are typically put on Alganim/Algazim, a
kelp-based iodine supplement taken with your meals.
That doesn‟t mean eat 3 pounds of each every day. But a portion of one of them a day. Please
no extremism on this program…
That was a problem for me. Pretty funny, but Challen told me on the first consult that asparagus
would be good for me – where my chemistry was at the moment. So I of course went and had 2
entire bundles of asparagus for dinner. When I told him that he was like, “I mean eat maybe 6
spears with your dinner.” Yeah, I‟m an idiot.
When the ureas total 14 or higher you should be taking dolomite with your meals. If it falls
below that, you need to come off of that immediately, as taking dolomite when the ureas are
below 13 can cause your neck to get wicked stiff. I got it bad. Pretty far out, but it‟s just another
one of those weird RBTI occurrences that played out exactly as I was told it would. Creepy.
Okay, that‟s enough of an introduction to the numbers. It may seem simple and like there‟s not
much there, but altogether the numbers take on much greater significance when looked at as a
whole. But don‟t go expecting anything in here to be very complicated or complex. It‟s not. It
can almost strike you as disappointing when you see how simple things are. Like you must be
missing something. Don‟t let the simplicity of it trigger your disbelief.
Now time to eat!
Helpful tip: If the nitrate urea (the blue one) has any breaks or spokes in the well when the test
develops, this is supposedly a 7 by default. When in doubt, it‟s a 7. If it‟s very dark, it‟s a 7+,
very light colored and it‟s a 7-. Don‟t be too intimidated by the test though. The main thing is
that you are able to determine if the combined urea levels are too low (below 12), in the A range
(12-20), or too high (above 20).
The Eating Schedule

Although Reams wanted the general population to know two things first – to drink distilled water
and avoid the “no-no” foods as he called them (human psychology almost makes it a guarantee
that these foods become “yes-yes” foods when you give them a name like that), I think one of the
biggest parts of the program that can be applicable to a large audience is the simple eating
schedule of the RBTI.
For starters, one of the key elements of the program is to develop consistent rhythms for your
body to adjust to. I‟ve advocated this for years with consistent bedtimes, and, at a time –
consistent mealtimes. I knew there was power in having a consistent regimen. As Scott Abel
wisely says, “the body loves regularity.”
While systematic drinking of water and the RBTI “lemonade” (we‟ll discuss this later) is one of
the primary ways this is done according to Challen, it is a huge roadblock for the average Joe
who just wants to know a few tips that can be used to improve his health without having it take
over his life.
But the eating schedule isn‟t that painful, and in a world where diabetes and obesity are the
primary concerns of the general population – and verifiably on the rise at an alarming rate,
establishing regular meal patterns to start with, moving towards the eating pattern of the RBTI, is
a pretty powerful and universal thing that just about anyone can implement.
I actually suspect the improvement in my pet allergies and asthma since starting the program
(and yes, they at one time were very severe and had bugged me, to various degrees depending on
what kind of diet and lifestyle I was following at the time), is primarily attributable to this simple
practice. I feel even more confident that this eating regimen is responsible for the body fat that
has left me since starting the program.
There is no magic here. Here are the simple, general recommendations…
Sugar levels naturally bottom out between 11am and 2pm (or an hour difference when the clocks
change by an hour – our rhythms are set to the sun, which is why jet lag seriously effs with our
bodies and minds). Then they start to ascend and peak in the evening. You can see this for
yourself with a refractometer – the tool that picks up dissolved sugars and salts in the urine.
Many people have symptoms and health problems that are a result of having sugar levels drop
too low and too high. Some have both. And it‟s not necessarily that you have high or low sugar.
The problem, in a great many people, is simply the wild fluctuations between high and low. It‟s
chaotic. And it takes a toll. Once again, the lower the mineral supply, the wilder the swings. If
you wanna see it for yourself, get yourself some potato chips and ice cream, a refractometer, and
an anorexic. That sugar will be all over the place, creating massive fluctuations. No that doesn‟t
feel good physically or emotionally – one of the many reasons why eating disorders are self-
perpetuating.
So the trick is to both keep the sugar levels from falling to such low-lows, and also keep the
sugars from going to such high-highs. The metaphor used by Challen, as I mentioned earlier, is
“leveling the mountains and filling the valleys.”
So you want to push the sugars up about as high as you can during the lunch hour to prevent
them from diving so low, and hardly eat any heavy food and certainly no meat or sweets after
2pm when the sugars are naturally rising. I hate to generalize, as the RBTI is supposed to be the
solution to guesswork (the RBTI catch phrase being “Why guess when you can be sure?”), but
hopefully most of you reading this will have tested your urine and know the tendencies of your
own specific chemistry (many will need to work hard to keep the sugars down - like when your
sugar reading is above 6.0, only eating a few bites of fruit at breakfast time and then abstaining
from sweets for the rest of the day for example).
To do this, you basically eat your biggest, heaviest meal of the day at lunch – to be completed in
its entirety no later than 2pm. This is the meal where you eat your meats and desserts if desired.
You do not have to eat meat every day. You do not have to eat dessert every day. The greater
your tendency towards hypoglycemia, the more important it probably is to eat the desserts and go
hog wild. This is mandatory as part of your sugar crash prevention program. Ice cream,
cheesecake, pie – these things can actually help you out. And this is the time to eat them.
Yeah you can abuse these, and when your sugars become more stable you really don‟t need to
work so hard to keep them from falling. “Enjoy the desserts,” Challen says, “because someday
you won‟t need to eat many of them anymore.” Challen rarely eats dessert nowadays. But he
understands the important healing property they have for many individuals at pivotal points
during their recovery.
And this is an important point that I shouldn‟t just gloss over. Your chemistry changes as you
progress on this program. You do not pick a diet and supplement collection and stick with that
forever. There is a constant need for fine-tuning. Yesterday‟s medicine is today‟s poison if you
are not monitoring your body chemistry from time to time to see what‟s going on. And this is
what happens on various popular diets. Often you get great relief from the initial changes or
even reversals in body chemistry. But then you keep on too long in the opposite direction and
create a whole new set of problems. Always chasing health, but never having a hard set of data
to show you where you are in relation to perfect, and what you need to do to hug tighter to that
ideal. “Why guess when you can be sure?” is an idea that has great appeal to anyone who has
been at this health game long enough.
So that‟s really it. Each day…
1) At roughly the same time every day if possible, eat a good-sized carby breakfast – mostly
cereal grain porridges like oatmeal, grits, buckwheat or the like, the occasional bowl of
cornflakes or waffle, eggs a couple of times per week, juice or skim milk, a piece of fruit
– and put a special emphasis on variety. It‟s best to have no meat at this meal but eggs
and skim milk are okay. Reams was a strong advocate of a very diverse and varied diet.
You can get more creative too. Pan-fried plantains with beans and rice and salsa was
something I had during the week I wrote this. I‟ve even had homemade fruit pie for
breakfast! So don‟t feel deprived trying to eat gruel every day.
2) At roughly the same time every day if possible, eat a monster lunch – the main meal of
the day. Eat until you are 100% satisfied and do not desire another bite. You do not have
to overeat. This is the time to eat well-cooked, approved meats (no pork, shellfish, or
„no‟ fish like tuna and marlin – discussed later) – at least a few times per week – from a
few tiny bites of chicken in a stir fry to the giant porterhouse I slayed with Challen the
other day. Nutritious and mildly-stimulating foods are best – like roasts with yams and
parsnips and onions and fresh salads (which you should habitually try to eat before
beginning your lunch each day), but you are certainly more likely to get away with eating
things like pizza and ice cream at lunch than at other times of day. Drinks like juice and
skim milk are fine. Just make sure you get it all in by 2pm. That cutoff time is taken
very seriously.
3) At roughly the same time every day if possible, have a light dinner. No meat or sweets,
like fruit, fruit juices, or desserts. A typical RBTI dinner is steamed vegetables (as much
variety from day to day as your culinary repertoire allows) with a scoop of cottage cheese
and a glass of milk. Or a big bowl of marinated garden tomatoes with basil. Or a
vegetable soup. After being on the program for a while I‟ve been going even lighter than
that. One night this week I only ate a bowl of turnip greens in their own broth. Tonight
was veggies sautéed in olive oil with a roasted ear of corn (a little starch, like toasted
bread, corn on the cob, beans, or roasted vegetables are fine in small amounts if your
sugars don‟t tend to run high). But go pretty light and get your body in that rhythm. The
first two weeks can be brutal!!! But when you get used to it you‟ll likely discover higher
energy levels, sounder sleep, better body composition perhaps, lowered appetite and
cravings, and so on. It took me about two weeks to adjust to this. Some have much more
trouble with it though. Going overboard at lunch in the beginning is an important step in
making that transition in my experience. Others find eating too much at lunch to make
them crash too hard in the afternoon. So play around with this for yourself. Also, if you
an athlete and need to be eating more in the evening that is fine. Just make sure you are
keeping it free of meat (including fish, eggs, and broth – but not milk products) and
sweets.
And that‟s it. A big adjustment for some perhaps, but certainly not complicated. But having that
consistency and rhythm is a powerful way to regulate appetite and cravings, improve energy,
sleep, and digestion, clear up your skin, better regulate sugar levels the following day(s) (which
equates to all kind of physical and psychological/emotional enhancement), keep you from
waking up in the night to have to pee, and all kinds of other minor things. I think eating regular
meals on a schedule like this, even if you can‟t follow the meal structure, is powerful. It
removes much of the pornographic quality of snacking, late night junk food munching, and food
in general – returning it to its rightful place as nourishment and sustenance. Food is awesome,
don‟t get me wrong – but a whole tv network dedicated to it? Come on man. If you need
entertainment, hump your furniture or watch an 80‟s movie with Schwarzeneggar in it. And this
is coming from a former chef people. I used to think food was life. Food is fuel for living life,
not life itself.
Energy Loss Foods

Believe it or don‟t believe it, but Reams set out to systematically test how all kinds of different
foods impacted body chemistry – using a decent-sized group of people to figure this out (as the
story goes). A general RBTI “rule” is that any movement towards perfect numbers is a gain of
energy. Any move away from perfect is a loss of energy. And that‟s the criteria Reams used to
try and figure this out.
As he went through – testing various foods, he noticed right away that many of the foods causing
a loss of energy were foods condemned for consumption in the Old Testament. In Leviticus and
Deuteronomy, consumption of pork, shellfish, skin fish like catfish and eel, and other critters that
I doubt you will be eating much of (groundhog anyone?), are forbidden. Reams, being a
hardcore Bible thumper, raised a lot of red flags with his list of “no-no foods” that included
everything the Bible said not to eat. You‟d think the Christians would lap this up like hungry
kittens, but many Christians are very upset by this whole no pork thing even though it‟s right
there in their Holy Scriptures. I am too. Dude, bacon. I make awesome ribs, and well, even
Mexicans bow down in honor of my pulled pork tamales. And I, like you, had to see this to
believe it.
But having Challen tell people what day they ate pork when he sees their numbers is, well, pretty
convincing after about the 10th time you‟ve seen it. Some people are apparently so sensitive that
Crest Whitening toothpaste, a few brands of breath mints, and even cooking food in cookware
that has cooked pork before is enough to “show up in their numbers.” But please, don‟t delete
this book off of your hard drive just yet. Don‟t let this freak you out.
Just don‟t eat pork. Ever. It‟s the one food that really must be avoided and apparently has the
strongest negative effect. I‟ve seen with my own eyes how powerful it is at destroying people‟s
body chemistry. Some can get away with eating it if they happen to have an excellent mineral
supply. If you are a sick puppy, that‟s not you – and pork in any form will work strongly against
you in an attempt to heal. Just getting pork out of your diet can often yield substantial health
improvements. Try it and see.
The next step in making your diet even cleaner, if you are up for it, is making sure that any
processed food products you buy are Kosher – by learning the basic Kosher symbols that appear
on food products, and maybe taking a few minutes to browse through some of the common
porked food and household products at the website… www.theisraelofgodrc.com
The Kosher symbols on packaged foods look something like this… There are several different
ones. The most common are shown below…
But there are others too…

Again, if you are very ill, you should probably take this provision very seriously. If not, I
wouldn‟t become a Nazi over it or let it deter you from trying other, simpler parts of the
program. Capiche? No human could follow this program perfectly. This program is not about
perfection, it‟s about doing enough to steadily gain energy, feel better, and be more resistant to
disease. You don‟t have to be puritanical with your diet to achieve that.
So pork is the big one. Here are the other foods that you should really try to avoid 100% of the
time…
1) Nuts and seeds of all kinds except coconut (boiled peanuts are great, small amounts of
peanut butter on occasion is fine)
2) Chocolate and cocoa (white chocolate is okay if it doesn‟t contain “cocoa” in the
ingredient list – watch out for cocoa in foods like Pumpernickel and dark rye breads)
3) Black and green tea (a few types of herbal tea are okay, such as peppermint and
chamomile, but that‟s it)
4) Shellfish – which includes scallops, shrimp, oysters, clams, lobster, crab, mussels, urchin,
etc.
5) Skin fish/non-Kosher fish/And a few upper food chain fish – such as catfish, eel, skate,
shark, sturgeon, monkfish, swordfish, sailfish – as well as tuna, mackerel, marlin, and
mahi mahi
6) Undercooked or raw meats or fish – this includes rare steaks and chops (well done is
ideal for meats) and sashimi, poke, tartare, carpaccio, and similar raw meat/fish dishes.
7) Other random meats including dog, cat, groundhog, rabbit, squirrel, goose and duck,
snake, alligator, ostrich, kangaroo, and frog legs.
Not exactly an excruciatingly painful list is it? I know it‟s tough giving up that groundhog, but
see what you can do. Okay, for chocoholics it might be tough. But you have to admit the list is
not that long. And come on – you can eat freakin ice cream, pie, and cheesecake. Drown your
chocolate sorrows in a silky strawberry milkshake – which reminds me of some of the more
nitpicky stuff on the program. Other foods to try to avoid pretty strictly, although these are
certainly more negotiable than the items on the prior list, are the colon cloggers and irritators…
1) The hard seeds found in strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries – you can eat seedless
stuff made from them, like seedless all-fruit spreads. These things supposedly get caught
in the colon very easily.
2) Popcorn – Ditto. And yes, you can have any other kind of corn. Corn is highly prized on
RBTI actually.
3) Nutmeg
4) Black or white pepper
And these miscellaneous foods…

1) Sea salt – Many people think that having all the extra stuff in sea salt is beneficial over
refined salt. From what I‟ve seen, I‟d look at unfiltered salt kind of how you look at
unfiltered water – you want to filter out that junky sludge from the ocean! This really
shows up in the numbers when used regularly. Some things are better purified.
2) Potatoes (not including yams and sweet potatoes, which are fine) – a little is fine if your
sugar is pretty stable. But don‟t make them a staple food. This includes home fries, hash
browns, potato chips, French fries, gnocchi, potato breads, and so forth. They can be
problematic to those with overly-dramatic sugar fluctuations. I know. I love „em too. It
hurts.
And then there are some foods that you just don‟t want to eat too much of. A little bit won‟t kill
you. Even a little bit every day is fine. But they, after all, are some of the low-nutrient foods
that caused the mineral depletion in the first place. So don‟t expect to get away with abuse of
these foods…
1) White flour – and a massive excess of wheat products in general – in fact, 100% whole
wheat is discouraged as well due to its indigestibility. Multi-grain breads or breads made
from rye, spelt, millet, etc. are often superior
2) White sugar and other refined sugars, like high-fructose corn syrup
3) White rice
And finally, you should know the general beliefs about fats on the RBTI program. It‟s okay to
eat plenty of fat. This is not a low-fat diet by any means. But the ideal concentrated fats to
ingest (oils, that is) are those that supposedly have the lowest solvency. Low solvency oils like
corn oil and olive oil have always been the preferred fats with RBTI because of their
digestibility. Other oils have a tendency to cause a loss of energy when eaten in excess (note,
you don‟t have to abstain from other oils – like if you see them in a product that you are buying
or are eating out at a restaurant – but don‟t make them a staple, ingest them on a daily basis, or
consume large quantities in one sitting). These other oils include coconut oil, other vegetable
oils like safflower, cottonseed, canola, grapeseed, and soy oils, all nut and seed oils, peanut oil,
ghee, butter, and so on.
Dairy fat is the trickiest. Butter seems to cause the most problems, probably because it is so
concentrated. I assume that the more concentrated dairy fat becomes, the more problematic it
becomes. Because of this, butter and milk that contains fat (including whole milk, 2%, and 1%),
appear on the original Reams “no-no foods list.”
However, full fat ice cream in reasonable amounts, cream cheese, sour cream, yoghurt, cheese,
cottage cheese – these things are all fine and highly encouraged. Skim milk, yoghurt, cheese,
and cottage cheese in particular are highly prized for their high mineral content and large
calcium spectrum. But I would choose low-fat or nonfat versions when available.
And that, unless I‟m forgetting something, is about the only foods that are strongly discouraged
on the RBTI program. At first blush you are thinking you can‟t eat anything. But in reality the
diet can still be very diverse – comprised of hundreds of fruits and vegetables, dozens of starchy
root vegetables, dozens of grains, and a wide array of animal products from dairy and eggs to
lamb, beef, venison, buffalo, chicken, Cornish game hen, guinea hen, pheasant, quail, squab, and
hundreds of fish – like trout, salmon, haddock, flounder, sardines, halibut, perch, tilapia, all kinds
of bass, cod, snapper, roughy, etc. And most can even get away with moderate consumption of
convenience foods like frozen waffles, breakfast cereals, ice cream, cookies, sandwiches, bottled
juices, pizza… as long as they are completely pork-free.
Beverages
There are two absolutely mandatory beverages on the RBTI program – distilled water and
homemade lemonade. These two, while forming a pretty tedious drinking regimen, are a very
important part of the program.
What has been mentioned prior – the eating schedule and the energy loss foods, are relatively
realistic changes to implement for even the most casual RBTI follower. The drinking protocol,
while not difficult or terribly rigorous once you get into the habit of doing it, is something that
only the serious RBTI adventurer will be able to experiment with.
I will say that I have gotten annoyed by the lemonade schedule on many occasions. Most
recently, I had a big argument about the scientific validity of some of Carey Reams‟s weird
science theories and scientifically-incorrect vocabulary. When I woke up the next morning I was
like, “screw this stupid effing lemonade!!!” But then I got thirsty. Orange juice, milk, and water
were the only things I had on hand. None of them really sounded as refreshing as the lemonade.
So I made lemonade an hour late and started drinking it as usual.
So there ya have it. While it may be daunting to think of drinking lemonade every day, you have
to drink something and the lemonade is actually pretty enjoyable, and continues to get more and
more enjoyable the more accustomed to the taste that you become. It‟s not nearly as big of a
deal as it seems.
Still, like I say and will say again, RBTI is not an all or nothing program. Don‟t ditch the whole
program because there‟s one tiny thing you don‟t feel willing to do at first. Even the slightest
change – like the elimination of pork from the diet and eating a little less food at dinner time, is
enough to yield some noticeable benefits for the vast majority of people within only a matter of
weeks. Many who are more sensitive or more ill, require more strict adherence to a greater
number of basic principles of the RBTI. A big step is adopting the drinking regimen.
Water
Water is an incredibly powerful substance. And after seeing how it can both cause great harm in
one individual while triggering seemingly-miraculous health improvement in another has given
me a monstrous appreciation for the necessity of individuation. Water heals and water destroys –
just like the water that falls from the sky. In nature, the right amount of water triggers a massive
bloom of life. An excess destroys farmland, buildings, soil quality, and even takes human lives.
This is a perfect metaphor for the use of water in Challen‟s program.
Challen understands, perhaps more than any living human being, how powerfully healing water
can be. His company is named “Heavenly Water.” Yet he is constantly telling people to drink
less water. In some, he strictly warns them not to consume any plain water at all! Who knew
that something so simple could be so powerful and so highly individual? The topic of water
certainly doesn‟t begin and end at the doctor prescribed “Drink 8, 8-ounce glasses of water per
day.”
Before I get too ahead of myself here, the first thing you should know about water on RBTI is
that distilled water – that made via steam distillation where water is heated and the vapor is
collected – leaving behind all impurities, is the ONLY type of water used in RBTI. All drinking
water and all water used for the preparation of lemonade should be distilled water. As you are
just testing out what the program can do for you, store-bought, bottled distilled water is perfectly
acceptable. Over time you will probably find, especially if more than one person in your
household is practicing RBTI, that a home water distiller is much more convenient, better-
tasting, and perhaps even economical.
Distilled water should also be used for cooking when feasible. Food that you prepare and will be
consuming the cooking liquid should be prepared with distilled water. I‟m thinking soups and
things like oatmeal here. For things like boiling vegetables or pasta noodles – where you are
going to pour off the liquid after cooking, regular tap water is perfectly fine. Of course you can‟t
be 100% diligent on this – as you will have ice cubes and soups at restaurants on plenty of
occasions, but you probably don‟t need to be 100% diligent to still get remarkable results. Like
any of the provisions in RBTI, you do your best without it taking over your life completely.
The reason for drinking distilled water, other than its purity, is that the pH of water is
significantly lowered when you distill it. It falls much closer to the ideal range of 6.4 pH. When
you drink water systematically (as you will be on the program), the pH of your urine, and all of
your other body fluids, tend to gravitate towards the pH of the water that you are drinking in this
systematic fashion. Thus, no matter what a person‟s chemistry, drinking distilled water helps.
The general program is to drink 4 ounces of distilled water on the half hour from 8:30am to 3:30
pm. So, 4 ounces at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, and so on until 3:30 – where you stop drinking fluids for
the most part. There are many subtleties to this and special circumstances that make this
provision highly variable though. For example, if you struggle with constantly having your
sugar level (the refractometer reading – the first number in the Reams equation) below 1.5 (the
most obvious sign being frequent urination), it is imperative that you switch from drinking water
on the half hour to 4 ounces of juice instead – or no fluids on the half hour at all. Likewise, if
you bring your sugar level into the ideal range between 1.5 and 2.0, you stop drinking water until
it rises too high again. Water dilutes the sugar out of the system – you don‟t want to drive it
lower if it is already in the ideal spot. You will learn more about this in the short chapter “Rules
of the Sugar.”
By the way, I‟m sure I‟ll mention it again, but if you are a small fry – say 120-130 pounds or
less, you drink more like 3 ounces instead of 4 ounces of the various liquids at each drinking.
The Lemonade
The RBTI lemonade is one of the signature parts of the program. Reams found that lemon juice
was the only purely anionic substance on earth. Because other foods were cationic, the lemon
juice had a tremendous ability to assist in breaking down food and getting more nutrition and
energy from it.
The lemonade is also meant to simulate liver bile – as well as help to support the liver and trigger
it to flush. The lemonade can often trigger a powerful flushing of the liver, resulting in nausea
and vomiting at various points in the program. This may sound like a bad thing, but this was
such a prized event at Reams‟s retreats that he would throw a mini party for people when they
vomited. Sounds like my kinda party!
The lemonade you also drink on a systematic basis. Typically you have your first 4 ounce shot
(and by the way, you should be throwing these small drinks back – not sipping them), at 8:00am
and drink a shot every hour until your bottle is empty at 3:00pm. Then you are done with it for
the day.
Unless you are a little shrimp – like 120-130 pounds or less, the basic lemonade recipe is 3
ounces of freshly-squeezed and strained lemon juice, 29 ounces of distilled water, and 1.5T of a
natural, sugar-rich sweetener (no non-caloric sweeteners). Of course, the math is a little off here,
as this adds up to be a little more than 32 ounces, and if you drink precisely 4 ounces, 8 times,
you‟ll have a little left over. I suggest dividing however much lemonade you make into 8, near-
equal sized portions. I just guess. I know about how many swigs constitute 4 ounces after a
couple months of practice.
For smaller people, Challen recommends a formula of 18 ounces distilled water, 2 ounces of
lemon juice, and 1T of sweetener. The math here is even more whack as you are supposed to
have 3 ounces 8 times!!! Comical I tell ya, as that‟s not even 21 fluid ounces – not even enough
to drink 3 ounces 7 times much less 8!!! But go ahead and drink it in 8, near-equal sized
portions starting at 8am and finishing at 3pm (by the way, you can also start at 7 and finish at 2 if
that works into your lifestyle better).
As long as the ratio of water to lemon to sweetener is roughly 9:1 distilled water to lemon juice,
and the lemon juice to sweetener is 3-6:1 depending on your sugar level (low sugar people need
a 3:1 ratio, high sugar people need a 6:1 ratio, and when you are pretty stable in the right range
you need to be somewhere in between there), I‟m sure you‟ll be fine.
Other Beverages
Okay, here we go with the grand topic of other beverages besides the lemonade and water. For
starters, you will be pretty damn well-hydrated on the water/juice and lemonade regimen. Your
need for extra fluids besides that found in your fruits, vegetables, porridges, and food in general
won‟t be all that high. But it is nice to drink some fluids with meals I find.
Skim Milk
Skim milk is a bit of a superstar in RBTI. I wouldn‟t go overboard on it. But drinking a glass
with each meal is customary at 1061 Market St. in Wheeling, West Virginia. It is a rich source
of the major minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, and potassium – in a complete spectrum
with a good balance. Skim milk is particularly valuable in the evening, when you cannot drink
fruit juice, but need some fluids as you are not drinking any from 3:30pm until 8am the
following day if you are following the schedule closely. Raw milk is fine if you skim the fat off
of it. Goat‟s milk and all that is fine too.
Tea
As you saw in the energy loss foods, black, green, and other caffeinated teas are forbidden –
strictly forbidden in fact (doesn‟t that make you wanna go drink some haha!!!!). I think
Kombucha is off limits too. You can have some herbal teas on occasion, but don‟t overdo it.
The typical serving size for tea is just 4 ounces at a time. Peppermint, spearmint, and chamomile
are fine. I do not know the extensive list of acceptable and unacceptable teas. I would think that
the more medicinal they become, the more unacceptable they become, as a general rule. So just
brew a little tea in 4 ounces of hot distilled water, and don‟t develop a compulsive tea habit –
drinking tea several times per day. Just have it as a treat from time to time on a cold day if
desired.
Coffee
Coffee, surprisingly, is acceptable and even encouraged for some people. One of its main
benefits is lowering the alcohol content in the system when sugar levels get too high. In fact, it‟s
quite a headache remedy for someone with high sugar levels. Make sure you read the fine print
on this one though. Challen advises people to make what he calls “Brazilian Tea.” This is just a
weak, 4-ounce cup of coffee brewed with 4 ounces of distilled water and ½ teaspoon of Maxwell
House coffee grounds. Yes, true coffee drinkers who got excited at the prospect of drinking
coffee after the first sentence are now entering into a state of deep depression. Anyway, it‟s kind
of nice once in a while to have Brazilian Tea. Let the grounds sit in the hot distilled water for a
few minutes, strain, and serve. Add sugar to it if consumed early in the day, and drink without
sugar if you are having it late in the evening. Adding a splash of milk, half and half, or cream to
it is fine. You need not worry about that.
Soft Drinks
Even more surprising than the coffee is soft drinks. Not only can you have a clear, carbonated
soft drink from time to time, but it seems like it is the preferred beverage to drink late at night if
you are thirsty between dinner and bedtime. This means Sprite, 7Up, Sierra Mist, one of the
clear Hansen Natural Sodas, and so on. Again, only drink 3-4 ounces. You don‟t want to drink a
lot of soft drinks. They are obviously not good for you. And things like Coca Cola, root beer,
Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew are pretty strongly discouraged. Soft drinks sweetened with non-
caloric sweeteners are certainly forbidden. It may seem strange that you can‟t have sugar past
2pm, but a little sugary soda is okay. Beats the hell outta me. I think drinking pure water is
considered to be the greater of the two evils, as that really has a tendency to crash out the sugars
the following day. I am also experimenting with things like fresh green vegetable juice and
coconut water to see if that would also make an acceptable, and more nutritious evening
beverage for the more inspired health nerd. I suspect they are fine if you have a huge block
about drinking these. I don‟t typically. But after making the adjustment to the eating and
drinking schedule I really don‟t get very thirsty anymore in the evening. If all else fails you can
drink skim milk in the evening.
Sweat Replacement
A question that comes up frequently is “What the hell am I supposed to drink if I sweat really
hard from working outdoors on a hot day or from hard exercise?” That‟s a tough question to
answer. For starters, know that when drinking the lemonade and water systematically, you‟ll
find you will be much better hydrated and generally won‟t need to consume as much liquid as
you used to. Also be mindful of the fact that during hard exercise you burn sugar and excrete
lots of water and salt out your skin. To replace that with drinking just water will dilute your
system too much and cause trouble. I have suggested to people to make some kind of homemade
Gatorade type of concoction (the modern Gatorade formula is meant to be more palatable so it
sells better, but the formula isn‟t as good as the original which contained less sugar).
For this I would mix 1 part fruit juice with 2 parts distilled water, no more than 50:50. I think
grape juice tastes the best personally. To this you might add a little bit of minerals in the form of
a ½ teaspoon of blackstrap molasses (high in potassium and magnesium, with a little natural
sodium). That should be better than plain water and not completely empty sugar like soda or
standard sports drinks. Exercising like this and drinking this formula is probably best early in
the day as opposed to late in the afternoon or evening – that‟s simply too late to be drinking
sugary fluids in large quantities. It will most likely compromise the success you will get with the
program.
Also try to consume this in a more “systematic” way. One of the main reasons for systematic
drinking is to never take in too much at one time – flooding the system. So at least make an
attempt to drink small amounts at regular intervals while exercising – not doing the dumb stuff I
used to do – like exercise until totally dehydrated and then sit down and drink an entire liter of
fluids or more. Oopsies. I used to work as a Wilderness ranger, and doing this made me dizzy,
fatigued, have to urinate constantly, and doubly thirsty – all signs of the sugar levels crashing
that are obvious to me now.
Alcohol
I‟ve never been that fond of how alcohol treats me, but some seem to do just fine with it. Wine
and beer are generally discouraged, whereas the clear liquors have been given approval.
Peppermint Schnapps, vodka, gin – with a little soda if alcohol doesn‟t make your sugars crash
or consumed with a little fruit juice or 7Up or something if it does (pay attention to this with
your refractometer) are all approved. Again, a little is fine. A lot is not. This is pretty much
common sense though. I would be careful with alcohol personally. Overdoing it or consuming
lots of wine or beer or anything really can take a long time to clear out of your system. But you
don‟t have to turn totally Mormon or anything (I fully support you wearing magic Mormon
underwear though – wicked sexy).
Actually, you winos will be pleased to know that for problems with gas trapped in the upper
abdomen/chest and for those with chronically low sugar levels, Challen recommends what he
calls Zest Tonic. When sugar levels are low, the body cannot manufacture the amount of alcohol
it needs for having a good mood and warm hands and feet. If that‟s you, you might find Zest
Tonic doing great things for you. Zest tonic is 4 parts Gordon‟s Gin, 1 Part Crème de Menthe,
and 1 part Apricot brandy mixed together. Sounds exciting perhaps, until you realize that you‟re
only supposed to have like 2 teaspoons of it at a time. Man, this Challen character is a real party
pooper I tell ya.
Fruit Juice
3-4 ounces of fruit juice, depending on your size, is recommended for people having severe
problems keeping their sugar levels above 1.5 on the half hour (instead of distilled water). But
anyone can have some fruit juice. I wouldn‟t drink much fruit juice until you‟ve gotten on the
program and gotten to see where your sugar levels tend to hover. In the beginning, many have
very high sugar levels (6.0 or above frequently) and should probably lay off of fruit juice
completely until this comes under control. But that‟s just temporary. Once you‟re in the swing
of things, some fruit juice is fine.
If you are overly alkaline (urine pH above 6.4), the best juices for you are prune juice, pineapple
juice, apple juice, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and orange juice.
If you are overly acidic you‟ll want to avoid those and get down on some apricot nectar, peach
nectar, or grape juice (although in one of Challen‟s books he does say you can have some orange
or grapefruit juice if you add ½ teaspoon of baking soda to each glass).
But, just to beat you over the head with it once again – try to avoid drinking fruit juice in the
evening unless you need a little to counteract your alcohol. If you aren‟t a chronic
“hypoglycemic” you‟ll want to avoid fruit juices after 2pm. Again, this is just temporary. You
won‟t stay severely hypo forever. Speak to your RBTI coach/consultant about this to know
when it‟s time to make the switch.
Finally, if you are drinking fruit juice on the half hour and notice some indigestion or heartburn
type of feelings, you may find you do better with it diluted 50-50 with distilled water.
Fresh juices
Some RBTI musketeers have taken to juicing fresh greens and vegetables. As a clichéd health
nerd I find this idea to be pretty attractive. I would encourage drinking some fresh juice with a
meal in reasonable quantities – like 4-8 fluid ounces at a time. More is not always better. Make
sure sweeter vegetables and fresh juices that contain some fruit in them as well – things like
beets, carrots, apples, etc. are consumed earlier in the day with your breakfast and lunch. Dinner
is a good time to have a little “green drink” which is also referred to as Tiger Milk in RBTI, just
to make it sound more awesomer I guess. It is not advised to drink fresh green juice in the
evening if your sugars are very high (not sure how high, let‟s say over 5.0) – so be cautious
about that. Green drink is believed to be a very powerful pain reliever. Just throwing that out
there.
Aloe Vera Gel
I had no idea where to stick this, but aloe vera gel is a liquid, so why not file it under
“beverages?”
I heard aloe vera gel mentioned many times during my time in Wheeling. Note, we‟re talking
about the gel here not the juice. The gel is very soothing for things like heartburn, and those that
are having problems with heartburn while drinking the lemonade, or have inflammation in the
digestive tract of some kind, are often advised to add 2T of aloe vera gel to their lemonade
recipe.
Drinking a couple of tablespoons mixed in with juice in the morning is also recommended for
those with such problems, as is mixing in 2T with a clear, carbonated soft drink in the evening
(like Sprite, Sierra Mist, Ginger Ale, etc.).
Rules of the Sugar

The rules of the sugar as they are referred to are based on what you see with your refractometer.
While you only run a “full set of numbers” once every two weeks at the most, it is recommended
that you really get to know your sugar levels by checking out your refractometer reading on
several occasions throughout the day. To someone not on the program, this sounds pretty
ridiculous. Once you play around with the tool, and start to understand the program, you‟ll be
too curious NOT to check and see what your refractometer reading is. Well, at least that‟s how it
is for me. I probably won‟t continue to be this anal about it forever, but in the early stages it‟s
always good to get to know your body via the refractometer. It is a really fun and revealing tool
worthy of its own entire book.
For starters, you don‟t have to pee in a cup to test your “sugars.” For bros, it‟s really easy.
There‟s always a couple drops to squeeze out at the end, and the panel on the refractometer is an
easy target. Having a target is nice actually, and every man, whether willing to admit it or not,
loves to hit a target with urine if one is made available. One drop is all you need to flip the panel
of the refractometer down and get your pee pirate on! Garrr!!! It‟s a 1.2. Me needs a bite of
fruit matey!
For women, a little sucky dropper like thing is the right tool for the job. One should come with
your refractometer. You just stick that thing into the stream, suck up a little urine, and then put it
on the refractometer. Bingo! You did it! Trying to whiz on it directly can be messy. I don‟t
know though. I don‟t know as much about female anatomy as I would like to. Perhaps you can
do that whole last drop thing directly on to the refractometer like the boys. Whatever works.
Unfortunately even I, in my infinite perversion, am not accepting video submissions of your
refractometer testing style at this time. You‟re on your own.
Now that we‟ve got that outta the way, the rules of the sugar are all based on the refractometer
reading and couldn‟t be much simpler.
 If the reading drops to 2.0 or below, stop drinking your distilled water on the half hour
(temporarily)
 If it drops below 1.5, stop drinking the water, and eat 1-2 bites of fruit or the equivalent –
such as a couple of grapes or cherries or handful of raisins.
 If it drops to 0.5 or below, stop drinking the water and say “screw fruit, I need a spoonful
of white sugar under my tongue!” Place 1t or so (doesn‟t have to be measured) of pure,
white, crystalline sugar under your tongue. Let it dissolve slowly. Don‟t panic about the
white sugar thing either. I‟ve seen someone completely remineralize a cavity and
develop teeth that looked like a white string of pearls popping sugar up to 10 times a day.
Carry sugar packets around with you for convenience if you need to.
Now, I should also mention that the point of the program is not necessarily to prevent the crashes
in sugar by not drinking water, or the lemonade, or eating foods with a high water content like
watermelon or oatmeal (things that crash my sugar pretty reliably). Go ahead and let them crash.
You want to follow the program as advised, and when your sugars crash, all you are trying to do
here is provide some sugar to the system at that point so that the body does not have to borrow it
from the reserves. When it does have to borrow it from the reserves, it can cause a loss of energy
that takes six full days to recover from.
So don‟t try too hard to keep those sugar levels perfect – so hard that you don‟t follow the
program and say, end up snacking on cheese every hour to keep your sugar levels stable. Let
them fall, and then respond accordingly. Keeping sugar levels in a tight, rock-solid range takes
time to achieve. Be patient. Let it happen on its own instead of trying to force it to happen.
If you don‟t have a refractometer, or you are away from it for a day, or you just don‟t have the
time to be testing your sugars on a regular basis – then you can still get by at times based on your
own biofeedback. After using the refractometer rigorously, you will get to know when your
sugars crash, what it feels like in your body (and mind) when they crash, what your urine looks
like when your sugars have fallen too low, and so forth. In other words, you have to obsessively
play with your urine at first to get to know yourself, your tendencies, etc. After that, you
probably can “get by” without checking your sugars so often.
The biggest thing you will notice is that when your sugars crash, you will have a stronger than
normal urge to urinate. Urinating several times in a one-hour period is also a strong cue that
your sugars have crashed. If you do not have a refractometer to confirm this, eat a bite or two of
fruit anyway. It‟s better to eat a bite or two of fruit when your sugars aren‟t low than to NOT eat
a bite or two of fruit when your sugars ARE low. Urine tends to be very clear when sugars are
low as well. Basically, the sugar in your system has been diluted too much. In essence, the
systematic drinking of lemonade and water in tiny amounts and at regular intervals is an attempt
to create the perfect level of hydration and maintain it.
Too much and the sugar in your system gets too diluted, you start peeing like crazy, get
dehydrated, and actually get a dry mouth that makes you want to drink more water! Too little
and the sugars, salts, and ureas remain too high and age you at an accelerated rate – while also
hindering your body‟s ability to heal.
What is a little trickier to figure out is when to resume drinking the water again once you have
stopped. After all, if your sugars come back up and go high, you won‟t have the urge to urinate.
Again, this just takes a little self-experimentation. For me, a typical day goes something like
this…
Eat breakfast
Drink lemonade at 8am, water at 8:30, lemonade at 9, water at 9:30…
And then at about 10 I start to feel a pretty strong urge to urinate. I go and check my sugars.
Typically they have fallen at this time. They can fall as low as .6. Today, they dropped to 1.4.
In either scenario, I eat a bite of fruit. If really low I might eat some dried fruit, as that seems
like a good halfway between eating a bite of fruit and absorbing pure sugar sublingually.
Of course I continue drinking the lemonade. I drink that no matter what.
But I stop drinking the water until later. Maybe I resume drinking water again at 12:30 and can
continue that until my last drink at 3:30pm. Maybe at 3pm I take a whiz and my sugars are at 1.7
and I don‟t drink that last sip of water. Basically, it‟s variable. It‟s best to keep an eye on it.
In short, if you sugars are high, water is the best thing for bringing them down. If your sugars
are too low, water is the worst thing for bringing your sugars back up. Water is the primary
force that drives the sugars up and down. Get to know yourself and use your accumulated trial
and error knowledge to get to know when to drink water, when to stop, and when to resume.
That is all.
But you better believe there is some serious magic with these sugar rules. For people with
chronic, violent sugar fluctuations, and repeated crashes below 0.5 (which can often trigger
seizures, headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia, and so on), these simple “rules of the sugar” can
work like a miracle drug (not that one actually exists, but if it did).
Vitamins and Minerals

Warning! Danger! Warning!!!
The minerals used with RBTI can be very powerful. Some drive pH up and down, and do so
very powerfully. In fact, the big pH drivers Cal II and Calcium lactate are too strong for anyone
to take that is under the age of 21. Hardcore stuff man! The goods!
I‟m actually being serious here. If you are unable to frequently check your “numbers” – aka if
you don‟t have convenient access to an RBTI testing kit, it‟s not a good idea to be taking either
one of the primary pH drivers. That would be calcium lactate – the primary supplement used in
RBTI to drive an overly alkaline pH down, and Cal II, the primary supplement used to drive an
overly acidic urine pH up.
Minerals that are okay to take (pH neutral) without testing, or for youngins, are Min-Col, a truly
remarkable mineral supplement, and Calcium Gluconate. These are fine to take as general
mineral supplements to your diet.
Other minerals that you might take are Alganim, a kelp-based iodine supplement that is typically,
but not always used when the ureas are low…
Dolomite, which you take two with each meal if your urea totals 14 or higher (one if 13 total),
but you never take with the ureas below 13 (again, we are talking the sum of the two ureas here
being less than 13)…
And K-Min, a soft rock phosphate and Diatomaceous earth supplement that is helpful with
parasites – given with signs of parasite infestation, and if the urine pH continually bounces back
to being overly alkaline even when colonics/enemas and the proper pH-lowering supplements are
given.
Ferro-Tonic, an iron supplement, is often taken infrequently in a glass of Welch‟s grape juice for
those with signs of iron deficiency in the numbers. A skilled RBTI consultant should be able to
identify this.
Minerals are to be taken with meals, three times daily if you can pull that off. I don‟t always get
around to taking them with EVERY meal, but I do make an effort and only miss a few meals per
week typically.
Vitamins are taken twice daily between meals, ideally.
Vitamins B-12 and B-6 are pretty much always given to start the program and assist your body
with the initial turmoil of healing. These are temporary recommendations. Challen suggests that
people take 2 B-6 and 2 B-12 twice daily until two bottles of each have been consumed. Then
you are through with them forever.
Vitamin E is typically given in doses of 400 or 1000 IU twice daily. It is a hefty dose, but
supposedly plays an important role. Most people continue to take vitamin E indefinitely unless
they take the program to completion – not something that happens often.
Vitamin C in the form of acerola – a natural vitamin C unlike the typical ascorbic acid pills that
will “burn a hole in your stomach,” is given in reasonable doses in those with an overly-alkaline
urine pH. It is not as strong of a pH driver as calcium lactate, but it does typically move the pH.
You only take it when urine pH is above 6.4 to bring it down lower. If you start out at say, 7.6
urine pH, you will typically continue taking C even after you hit 6.4 to make sure it “holds.”
Often if you jump right off of it you‟ll bounce right back up to an overly-alkaline pH.
Vitamin A and D is used in the opposite manner. Taken together, A and D is used when urine
pH is below 6.2. Once urine pH goes up to ideal or higher you stop taking the A and D and
generally don‟t have to take it anymore unless you turn very acid at a later time.
And with the supplements, that‟s basically it. I would not recommend taking anything else at all
in terms of herbs, supplements, vitamins, minerals, or medications (with your doctor‟s approval
of course, and let it be known that Challen NEVER interferes with doctor-prescribed
medication). Sometimes a single substance can stand in the way of your success with getting
your chemistry into the A range and holding it there.
And Challen thinks that supplementing big doses of other vitamins, and minerals as well, is
dangerous. You‟ll note that all of his mineral supplements and his vitamin C are “whole food”
supplements in a sense. Instead of giving you a big dose of one isolated kind of calcium or
magnesium, you get various types of rock basically – which are full spectrum and contain dozens
of types of minerals in a natural and balanced form as nature intends.
I also wouldn‟t take anything besides the 2 initial bottles of B-6 and B-12, vitamin E, Min-Col,
and Calcium Gluconate if you are not going to have access to a test kit AND planning on at least
consulting with someone who knows what they are doing at least once in a while – until you get
the hang of it yourself. This stuff is complicated to a total noob, and mistakes are easily made.
Sometimes even the most tiny error can screw things up depending on which aspect of the
program we are talking about here. For example, a 105-pound girl accidentally was drinking a
lemonade recipe intended for someone at a much higher weight. She was up urinating four times
per night!!! It would have ruined her, and she would have concluded that RBTI sucked
something awful and made her really sick if she hadn‟t had me to figure out what had gone
wrong. Most only need supervision for a few months before they totally know the program for
themselves front and back, and no longer require outside support except on rare occasion if
something unusual is regularly showing up in the numbers.
And I can‟t stress this highly enough… ORDER YOUR VITAMINS AND MINERALS FROM
CHALLEN WAYCHOFF, JIM DAILY, OR ONE OF DAILY‟S AFFILIATES!!!
One person tried to order Min-Col and ended up with some strange liquid. Another decided to
take a vitamin C from a health food store that was buffered. When she switched to Challen‟s
vitamin C her high pH was miraculously fixed! Buffered vitamin C does not drive the pH!
Others get the wrong dosages. And others get supplements with pork-based gelatin capsules.
These supplements are not something you can just run out and pick up anywhere. Try finding
Min-Col, calcium lactate, or dolomite at your local GNC. It won‟t happen. These supplements
are specially-formulated, dosed correctly, packaged into vegetarian capsules, and made in ways
that meet RBTI standards. It‟s not like there is some outrageous premium for these either. They
are totally reasonable. A bottle of Min-Col is like $26 last time I checked and that‟s for 250
capsules – enough to last you a month and a half if you are super anal and never forget to take
them.
You can order them online at www.heavenlywater.com or via phone (better if you can get
through on the phone) at (304) 230-9283.
Or you can get them through Daily Manufacturing… http://www.daily-mfg.com/index.html
Naturopathic Doctor Garrett Smith is also now selling all the supplements needed on RBTI…
http://www.repairrecoverrestore.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5
And no, this is not some sweet ass business scheme I‟ve worked up with these guys. I‟m not
flippin‟ Joe Mercola. I don‟t sell supplements. And I‟m not doing it as a favor to anyone either.
I‟m not sure the guy will even send me supplements next time I order after calling me up and
accusing me of “blasphemy” the other day and insulting me by saying that “all the things that
you don‟t understand are so voluminous that I don‟t even know where to begin.”
I just want YOU to get the right stuff and not piddle around with nutraceutical industry crap. My
allegiance is to no one else except you, the reader of this eBook. And I have no vested interest in
the sale of any products on earth other than the information I distribute – information as straight
and honest as I know how to make it.
Reader reaction: “Easy Stoner, easy boy. We get it. Man that kid‟s got issues!”
But seriously, my integrity as a health writer, researcher, and reporter is something I hold more
dear than anything else in the world. I don‟t talk about how great something is and then turn
around and sell it by the truckload like all the other con artists in this health game. Imagine your
favorite news station anchor talking about how great some new cancer therapy is, only to find
out months later he owned 50% of the company that was selling “x” drug or screening machine.
You‟d be ready to string him up and flog him like a pinche piñata! I don‟t play such games. I‟ll
go on the “dumpster diet” long before I stoop to such low standards.
I do this because I love it, and I‟ll go to the end of the earth and back (pretty sure Wheeling,
West Virginia where Challen practices was the end of the earth) to bring you the information that
I think can bring you the highest probability of success with your health struggles.
Okay okay, I‟m allowed at least one tangent per book. I guess this was it. Ummm, awkward.
Remineralizing Food
This is by far the most complicated thing on the program – “remineralizing your food.” To do
this, add roughly ½ teaspoon of blackstrap molasses (remember, don‟t use this kind to sweeten
your lemonade, blech) to your food. A little maple syrup if you like as well.
See, I told you it was complicated.
Yes, it‟s very simple, but I would try to make an effort to get a ½ teaspoon of blackstrap
molasses in wherever you can (and no, I don‟t measure this or anything). Blackstrap molasses is,
ounce for ounce, about the most mineral-dense substance on earth (excluding maybe rock, coral,
and bone). It‟s very high in calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium. Because it is so high in
iron, you really don‟t want to be getting tons of it – which is why you don‟t add it to your
lemonade, but instead use regular molasses for that, but a little bit is great. The golden rule is
that if you can taste it, you‟ve used too much (although this wouldn‟t apply to spreading some on
a cracker or adding some to a glass of milk per se)…
Some ways you can incorporate blackstrap molasses into your meals are:
 Adding blackstrap to your morning porridge

 Adding blackstrap to a glass of milk
 Adding blackstrap to the cooking water of your vegetables
 Adding blackstrap to your salad dressing
 Adding blackstrap to ketchup or barbecue sauces
 Adding blackstrap to pancake or waffle batter
 Having a little blackstrap on a cracker
 Adding blackstrap to cookie dough
 Adding blackstrap to all your soups
 Adding blackstrap to homemade ice cream
…And however you can envision working it into your meals. Or you can get really creative with
it, licking blackstrap molasses off of the body part(s) of a willing participant. This is much
healthier than chocolate syrup. This, in particular, can really help to increase bone density!
Wacka, wacka, wacka!
Variety
In the RBTI universe, it is believed that there are something like 85 minerals needed for a human
being to function properly. Your typical bowl of oatmeal is NOT going to contain all 85
minerals. Thus, it is recommended that we all eat the widest variety of foods that we can to
insure that we receive a full spectrum of trace minerals.
As long as you have variety in mind, and don‟t eat the exact same thing day after day after day,
you‟ll be fine.
Since you start each day with at least a little fruit, this is a good place to start. Don‟t ALWAYS
have a banana, or an apple. But when you buy a bunch of bananas and eat them, go and buy a
different fruit the next time. Maybe a cantaloupe. Chip away at the melon for a few days, and
when that‟s done go and get yet another type of fruit. Let‟s say pears. Then grapes. Then
mangoes. Then papayas. Then peaches. Okay, okay that‟s enough. But you get what I mean.
Try to eat as many different types of fruit at breakfast throughout the year as possible. This
doesn‟t mean that you can‟t eat the same fruit two days or even 10 days in a row. You can. But,
with a big picture overview, eat a lot of different fruits.
You can do this with breads as well. Buy a loaf of bread. Say rye. When the loaf is gone, go
buy a multi-grain bread. When that‟s gone, go buy an oatmeal bread. And so on. Or make your
own homemade breads using a wide variety of grain flours – from millet to spelt to buckwheat.
But do be careful NOT to use grains that are overly coarse. This is way beyond the digestive
capacity of a lot of people. Do not use things that are 100% whole wheat unless it is extremely
fine-ground.
Same for cereals of course. Have some grits, then some polenta, then some Cream of Wheat,
then some Cream of Rice, then some corn dry cereal, then some oat dry cereal, then some
oatmeal, yada yada…
Vegetables are of course another very diverse food group. The sky is the limit on the varieties of
vegetables you can have depending on your access to produce. In the U.S. it‟s generally pretty
easy. Most supermarkets have a pretty good selection. Of course, if you have access to a
farmer‟s market or CSA type of produce buying club you‟ll get a massive collection of
vegetables, and really up your culinary repertoire.
Have different salad greens. One week buy arugula, the next week a field green mix, the next
week Romaine lettuce, the next week red leaf lettuce, then some spinach…
And eat a big variety of meats and fish as well. Without being able to eat shellfish, many fish,
pork, duck, goose, rabbit, and so on (wow, I feel like I just listed all of my favorite foods right in
a row), many people get in a rut of eating just beef, chicken, and salmon. I think there‟s a much
bigger opportunity for variety here. Each fish is nutritionally different, and a broader range of
fish is becoming increasingly available in supermarkets.
Fish you CAN eat are snapper, halibut, perch, barramundi, cod, flounder, turbot, coho salmon,
sockeye salmon, pink salmon, Atlantic salmon, Pacific king salmon, striped bass, black bass,
loup de mer (sea bass), trout, walleye, Arctic char, Steelhead, Chilean sea bass, Dolly Varden,
Pike, Crappie, haddock, grouper, redfish, tilapia, cobia, Dover sole, Orange Roughy,
Opah/moonfish, sardines, anchovies, Rouget and the list goes on and on.
You don‟t have to just eat chicken and more chicken in the bird category either. Have some
quail sometime, a little pheasant perhaps, and some Cornish Game Hen. Get super fancy and
have some squab (I think that‟s okay to eat). I think Guinea hen is okay to eat too, and is one of
the best birds ever if you have a chance to eat it. I‟ve even been known to go grouse hunting.
And don‟t forget turkey either.
Red meat? Buffalo is becoming increasingly available and is very tasty. The same can be said
for other game meats. Australian elk and venison is some of the best quality meat on earth.
Caribou – eat it if you ever get the chance. It‟s amazing – or at least it can be. Lamb – the best
thing ever when it‟s good quality (pretty much tastes like dirty underwear when it‟s poor
quality).
Okay, we‟ve beaten that idea to death. You get the point. Don‟t freak out about getting lots of
variety or get stressed out about it. Just keep it in mind, and make a conscious effort to get some
variety in your diet. Don‟t get stuck eating the same breakfast or the same dinner every night.
Mix it up.
RBTI for Kids

Going bonkers on a new health program and suddenly forcing your kids, spouse, friends,
siblings, parents, grandparents, dog, and cat to do the same thing is one of my personal pet
peeves. RBTI is neat stuff, but go easy. You don‟t get people on board with the program by
acting psychotic and brainwashed saying “Challen this and Matt Stone this” before every bite of
food you eat – or yelling “that‟s a no-no food!” at your wife when she is about to bite into a bar
of her favorite chocolate.
Tiptoe into it and see how it goes. Experience some of the changes for yourself. Don‟t
discourage anyone from trying it out, but keep the pressure off at least until you have shocked
them all with some substantial improvements.
If you do have some children, I would let them be kids unless they have some serious health
problems. If they do, then you might consider taking this RBTI for kids thing a little more
seriously. The big things with kids are…
1) The primary no foods

2) Foods that require more digestive power than kids have – most notably meats, nuts, and
nut butters
So yeah, no peanut butter and no meat. That‟s pretty tough with standard American fare. I think
the most common foods consumed by kids today are chicken nuggets and peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches. The rest is pretty much sugar and white flour.
So it‟s not going to be easy raising kids with RBTI. In general though, you can do the best you
can by giving them an easily-digestible diet of pureed starches, breads and porridges, lots of
fruits and a few vegetables, and plenty of dairy products and eggs. Milk, milkshakes, yoghurt,
smoothies – kids will love all of these. You can also remineralize their food with blackstrap
molasses.
They can take a Min-Col capsule with meals if they like (or broken up and stirred into water or
juice maybe). This is a great mineral supplement.
You can also give them distilled water to drink and make them some lemonade to drink as well.
Make sure they are getting plenty of fluids – or, on the other side of the coin, not drinking so
much plain water that their sugars are chronically crashing.
If they run into problems, you can test their chemistry and see if they need an enema. This is
obviously a controversial thing to do in today‟s molestation-phobic society, but from what I hear
kids respond to it well. Meat can certainly plug them up, as well as many difficult-to-digest
foods. When they do get plugged up they will probably develop lots of congestion and swollen
tonsils. This basically sums up my childhood, which involved appendicitis – a complication of
constipation primarily, and having my tonsils removed because they were giving me so much
trouble.
I think the biggest thing is just keeping meat, pork especially, out of their diets and letting them
be kids otherwise – eating plenty of macaroni and cheese, spaghetti with tomato sauce, pizza, ice
cream and all that. If problems arise, make minor adjustments, not huge, dramatic overhauls
where the kids are on lockdown and are now forbidden from going to friend‟s houses or going to
school where they serve “poison.”
Just don‟t go too psycho on them okay? Seriously.

What To Expect
Within the first month of doing RBTI, if you are a male you should expect your penis size to
enlarge by 3 inches – and women, you should lose 40 pounds of excess fat and look like a large-
breasted gymnast – with that luscious hair you‟ve always dreamed of having.
Okay, so…. Not exactly.
Challen says that in 40 years of doing RBTI, he‟s “never seen anyone have any problems that
have followed the program.”
But that is absurd. In fact the entire atmosphere surrounding RBTI reeks of bullshit. If I hadn‟t
seen many people improve with my own two eyes I would be 100% convinced that this was one
of the most ludicrous and outlandish modalities in all of alternative health. And trust me, I‟ve
been exposed to some pretty weird stuff in that realm – from waving Atlantean wands over my
body to having an Acupunturist cover me with suction cups for 10 weeks without a sign of
improvement other than mysteriously becoming constipated from it (my checking account had
diarrhea).
I know I mentioned people growing a couple inches and increasing shoe size and remineralizing
teeth and all that. And I do not doubt that it has happened. But I‟m not going to hype up
anything here. I want you to be honest with yourself and really pay close attention to the fine
details. Be particularly on the lookout for things that really MUST be attributable to the dietary
change. Look for changes in body composition, digestion, skin moisture and softness, the
hardness of your fingernails, the whiteness of your teeth, changes in libido, and big changes in
mood, mental focus, personality, and energy levels in particular.
Of course, any health problems that you have can improve if you improve your body chemistry.
After all, that is the entire premise here.
But I want you to be mentally prepared for what kind of journey RBTI is. I‟m still in the very
early stages of mine. I know very little of the whole iceberg that is RBTI. But I do know that it
has been strange – but in a good way. Like, interesting.
For example, when I first started I was miserable. Switching over to the new eating schedule
made me starving hungry in the evening. I was used to having food sort of put me to sleep at
night. I was up until 2am pretty much tweaking out. Wired. Heart racing. Good times!
Plus I was thirsty. I had never intentionally avoided liquids in my life. Going from 3:30 pm to
8am the next morning with a glass of skim milk just felt absolutely horrible to me. I was
shocked that this was the prescribed formula that I had heard so much about. But you know me,
always willing to push on. Always the willing guinea pig, health explorer, and dietary
adventurer.
After a couple of weeks it started getting even more strange. I started having these pains all over
my scalp. It was like my hair hurt. And if I touched my head in a certain spot it would make me
jump the pain was so piercing.
I lost weight, my digestion became kind of off – slightly constipated feeling at times and more
prone to getting gassy and bloated. I had some of those other telltale signs of metabolism going
down – like loss of sex drive and cold hands and feet. But I pressed on.
This may sound rough, but I actually feel I‟ve gotten off pretty easy thus far. Many people
become ill. Fever. Aches. Chills. Diarrhea. Nausea. Vomiting. This can happen pretty much
anytime you have a withdrawal – or big shift in body chemistry during a dramatic healing phase.
You have been warned! Don‟t give up per se if you don‟t feel well for a while. How you feel
for a few weeks or even a month or two is not necessarily a bad thing. Remember that what we
call “getting sick” is actually a phrase used to describe the symptoms of our body healing itself.
Don‟t jump to false conclusions over transient and temporary ill feelings. Just stay focused on
improving your “numbers,” giving them a full chance to show you what they can do for you.
It didn‟t take long before my own personal transitional symptoms went away. Of course, when
you shock your body with a new eating and drinking regimen that it is not used to – it can be
quite stressful. And stress shuts things down – digestion, libido, metabolism, and so forth.
But now I‟m not hungry in the evening. I started sleeping well – the best I have in a couple of
years in fact. I have lots of energy and it‟s steady – even more so than when I started (and I‟m a
pretty upbeat and energetic guy). I don‟t get sleepy after big meals much anymore. I‟m not
thirsty in the evenings at all. That glass of skim milk is more than enough to keep my mouth
moist, and even when I wake up to urinate after 16 hours with hardly any liquids my urine is nice
and light-colored. Amazing. And like I said, strange.
Sex drive is back. Toes are warming back up again. My fingernails are super hard. My teeth
have no pain whatsoever and appear whiter when I look at them in the mirror. And I keep
getting leaner.
Sure, all of these things are interesting and all. I‟ve experienced positive changes in all of those
categories from other dietary changes I‟ve made in the past – most of them signs that your body
is getting healthier.
But more importantly were the big changes that happened to me. The biggest has been the
improvement in my sore feet – they used to be so sensitive that driving a 5-speed would hurt my
foot in heavy traffic with pushing the clutch so much. Ya see, I‟m one of those sock and shoe
haters after living in Hawaii, so I always drive barefoot. I used to have to put on a shoe to drive
in traffic, and my feet would get wicked sore if I spent too much time on them.
But that has tremendously improved, and improved in a short period of time. Even less than 2
months after starting I was able to drive around in New York City traffic barefoot without even
noticing that I was in traffic. My foot felt fine. I can push that clutch in all day with my bare
feet and it doesn‟t bother me.
I also showed up in Wheeling with some pain in the center of my chest that started back during
my low-carb days. I now assume this to be from high ureas and my body poorly digesting meats.
But that has improved by at least 80%. It hardly bothers me at all anymore, and it was by far my
greatest and most mysterious health problem over the past several years.
So I‟m happy, and eager and willing to see where all this leads.
Sure, I‟ve got some negatives going on too. Nothing that I‟m particularly concerned about or
planning on ditching the program because of. Those problems are gas in the evening, a little bit
of acid indigestion from time to time, and that seems to be about it. Not that long of a list, and
not something that seems out-of-reach to figure out how to clear up – perhaps by just staying the
course, perhaps by making a few or maybe even just one minor change.
In summary, be prepared for bumps in the road. Be prepared for perhaps a very severe healing
reaction on the program. Be prepared to have a rough transition just to the eating schedule – let
alone the rest of the program.
If you are prepared for this, and you take this on like a strange adventure into the unknown –
exploring what this program, and your body, is capable of doing when your chemistry is in the A
range – you‟ll be much more likely to succeed. You‟ll also need a good bit of realism going for
you as well. If you are expecting a quick fix for a condition that developed over 40 years, you
aren‟t going to make if for very long before you get disillusioned about that problem not totally
clearing up… And quit. Some things in RBTI are a quick fix – and can be eliminated by the 2nd
or 3rd day of the program. Other issues take many years to overcome.
So give this a realistic trial. Two weeks is not a realistic trial. I don‟t expect to really know what
I think about all this RBTI stuff exactly until I spend a year or more on the program. My initial
impression is pretty good. Good enough to stick my neck out and put together this instructional
package for all those interested – sharing the basics as I have come to understand them from
spending time with Challen, overhearing his consultations, receiving direct instructions from him
on my own personal chemistry, and reading through most of the materials he has put together.
Best of luck on the program, and remember that if you are in good health, you don‟t need to be
obsessive about the fine details of the program. This is not an all-or-nothing program at all. I
can‟t state that emphatically enough. Do what you KNOW you can realistically do for months
without it being too much of an inconvenience or burden. You don‟t want to come to resent your
diet, only to revolt against it later like an oppressive boyfriend. That won‟t get you very far.
And then, as you get comfortable, add more to it. Inch your way deeper and deeper into the
RBTI rabbit hole as you see fit, and as you feel is necessary to heal. The sicker you are, the
more precise you will have to be with these guidelines.
Anyway, that‟s all outta me for this introductory book. Look forward to more information on
RBTI in the future. Please feel free to email me any positive or negative experiences you may
have on the program at sacredself@gmail.com. I ask that you follow it at least for several
months before writing to me to share your experiences. I find that many people experience
positives during the initial honeymoon period on all kinds of diet or lifestyle changes, and then
write to me raving about how amazing it is and how awesome I am for having told them about it.
This gets me really fired up and eager to share it with everyone, but over time many see those
improvements go away – or run into new problems. And they rarely contact me again – leaving
me permanently believing that something was their salvation when in actuality it started to fail
them shortly after they thought they had found the answer to all things health.
So please, take time to make your assessments, and share them with me in a level-headed
manner. Don‟t write me to thank me, but to inform me as honestly and fairly as possible so that I
come to get a better understanding of what remains to be the biggest unanswered question about
RBTI… What really are the uses and limitations of it? I know there is some use, but how much I
have absolutely no idea, and don‟t feel I can trust anyone else‟s propaganda for or against it. I
must, as always, see for myself what the answer to that question is. And I appreciate any help I
can get. I promise it won‟t hurt my feelings a bit if you think this program sucks and doesn‟t do
a thing for you. I want to know your honest experiences with it, so I can know for myself.
Thanks for taking the time and interest to check this out, and trusting in me that I haven‟t lost my
marbles (you are in the minority that‟s for sure!). It means a lot to me, as I absolutely pour my
heart, soul, and mind into the work I do – simply fulfilling my unquenchable curiosity about the
vast topic of human health, with no motives other than to discover the truth about health-related
matters and deliver it to as many people as possible. I hope the information in this book serves
you, and I believe it has a good chance at doing just that if you apply it correctly. If I didn‟t, I
wouldn‟t have written it.
I suggest printing out the following Program Review for quick referencing and reminders if you
need it. It contains most of the primary recommendations of the general program…
Program Review
Foods to strictly avoid:
1) Pork, including bacon, ham, sausage, and products, including personal hygiene products,
gum, breath mints, condoms, etc. containing pork-based gelatin or lard. You can find a
thorough list of “porked” products at www.theisraelofgodrc.com . Waychoff also
strongly encourages people to only use grills, skillets, woks, and other pots, pans, and
baking dishes that HAVE NEVER COOKED PORK. At least consider buying a new
cheap pot and frying pan to start the program with, and experiment later on to see if your
old cookware has been tainted enough to negatively affect your body chemistry.
2) Nuts of all kinds except coconut, boiled peanuts, and a little peanut butter on occasion.
This also includes most seeds like caraway, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, and others.
3) Chocolate/Cocoa (a little white chocolate is okay as long as it doesn‟t contain “cocoa”)
4) Black, green, and other caffeinated tea (a few types of herbal tea are okay, but that‟s it)
5) Shellfish – which includes scallops, shrimp, oysters, clams, lobster, crab, mussels, urchin,
etc.
6) Skin fish/non-Kosher fish, such as catfish, eel, skate, shark, sturgeon, monkfish,
swordfish, sailfish – as well as tuna, mackerel, marlin, and mahi mahi
7) Undercooked or raw meats or fish – this includes rare steaks and chops (well done is
ideal for meats) and sashimi, poke, tartare, carpaccio, and similar raw meat/fish dishes.
8) Other random meats including dog, cat, groundhog, rabbit, squirrel, goose and duck,
snake, alligator, and frog legs.
Foods to minimize:
1) The hard seeds found in strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries – you can eat seedless
stuff made from them, like seedless all-fruit spreads. These things supposedly get caught
in the colon very easily.
2) Popcorn – Ditto. And yes, you can have any other kind of corn. Corn is highly prized on
RBTI actually.
3) Nutmeg
4) Black or white pepper – spicy red pepper is okay
5) Sea salt – Many people think that having all the extra stuff in sea salt is beneficial over
refined salt. From what I‟ve seen, I‟d look at unfiltered salt kind of how you look at
unfiltered water – you want to filter out that junky sludge from the ocean! This really
shows up in the numbers. Some things are better purified.
6) Potatoes (not including yams and sweet potatoes, which are fine) – a little is fine if your
sugar is pretty stable. But don‟t make them a staple food. This includes home fries, hash
browns, potato chips, French fries, gnocchi, potato breads, and so forth. Foods such as
grated cheeses with trace amounts of potato starch used are usually not problematic.
Potatoes in general can be problematic to those with overly-dramatic sugar fluctuations.
7) Concentrated oils and fats other than extra virgin olive oil – no oil or fat is strictly
forbidden, but excessive consumption of any high-solvency oil that is difficult to digest,
like butter, coconut oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc. can very easily result in a significant
loss of energy. Corn oil is considered an ideal oil because of its low solvency, but
probably isn‟t something to consume in large quantities. But do not fear eating
something with say, butter in it. A little butter from a once-weekly homemade batch of
oatmeal raisin cookies, or once-weekly restaurant meal, is very unlikely to have a
significantly negative effect.
8) Whole milk – This includes 1% and 2% milks. Skim milk is the best tolerated milk.
Other dairy products like ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, yoghurt, cheese, and so
on are fine to eat in reasonable amounts.
Foods to Eat in Moderation:
1) White flour – and a massive excess of wheat products in general – pizza at a restaurant, a
couple of waffles or pancakes in the morning or a sandwich made with toasted bread
containing some white flour is fine (for most people). Also avoid 100% whole wheat
products! Often whole grains are hard to digest, and more refined products are actually
superior. This varies from person to person.
2) White sugar and other refined sugars, like high-fructose corn syrup – but a little daily
dessert is totally fine
3) White rice – Brown is better generally-speaking. Again, this doesn‟t mean no white rice,
and some with weak digestion may fare much better eating white rice than brown. What
it does mean is that you should only eat it a couple times per week – not 3 meals per day.
Eat a lot of variety in your diet:
 Rotate fruits – buying a wide variety over the course of several months
 Rotate breads, hot cereals, cold cereals, and other products (watch out for cocoa in dark
breads like pumpernickel and dark rye)
 Eat a variety of greens and vegetables in your salads, as well as vegetables with your
main and evening meals.
 Rotate at least 3 sweeteners in your lemonade on a 3-day rotation.
Drink lemonade on a schedule if appropriate for your body chemistry (sugar level below
6.0 and urea total below 20):
 If you weigh less than 120 pounds, mix 18 ounces distilled water, 2 ounces fresh-
squeezed/strained lemon juice, and 1T of sweetener… Drink 3 ounces on the hour
starting at 8am. Bottle should be empty at 3pm
 If you weigh more than 120 pounds, mix 29 ounces distilled water, 3 ounces fresh-
squeezed/strained lemon juice, and 1, 1.5, or 2 Tablespoons of sweetener depending on
how strong your tendency is towards hypoglycemia. Full hypoglycemics use 2T, mild
hypoglycemics use 1.5T, and those with high urine refractometer readings (at least 5.0)
will use 1T. Drink 4 ounces on the hour starting at 8am. Bottle should be empty at 3pm
 Never drink lemon water without a sweetener – no-calorie sweeteners are not acceptable
 Acceptable sweeteners include molasses (NOT blackstrap molasses, which is too strong),
agave nectar, maple syrup, honey (acceptable only for those who never see sugar levels
fall below 1.0 on refractometer), brown rice syrup, sorghum syrup, Karo syrup
 Always use distilled water to make your lemonade
 If you like, you can drink from 7-2 instead of 8-3. Just make sure you pick a time that
you can be consistent with 7 days a week
Drink distilled water or juice on a schedule depending on body chemistry:
 With a very high reading on a refractometer (above 6.0), consume 3 ounces of distilled
water on the half hour (8:30, 9:30, 10:30 and so on) if your weight is below 120 pounds –
4 ounces if above 120 pounds. Begin drinking at 8:30am and finish by 3:30 pm.
 With a moderate refractometer reading (~2.0-6.0) and a “tendency towards
hypoglycemia,” drink water according to the guidelines above but stop drinking water if
you experience excessive urination, dizziness, signs of hypoglycemia, or a reading of 2.0
or below on a refractometer (***Also carefully read the Rules of the Sugar section
below***). A typical schedule for someone in this range will be to drink water at 8:30
and 9:30 - skip several rounds, and then drink at 2:30pm and 3:30pm.
 With severe hypoglycemia – frequent crashes in the refractometer reading below 1.5
throughout the day, drink 3 ounces of juice (under 120 pounds) or 4 ounces of juice (over
120 pounds) on the half hour starting at 8:30 am – final drink at 3:30pm. Drink NO
WATER at all – just the lemonade according to the formula listed above and juice on the
half hour. Any bottled fruit juices are fine, generally-speaking, but those with a very
acidic urine pH below 6.0 should avoid citrus (lemon NOT included) such as grapefruit,
orange, tangerine, and pineapple juices – and those fruits in general until urine pH is
consistently 6.4 or above. Those with an overly alkaline pH should preferentially drink
citrus juices until the pH has returned to the optimal 6.4
 Liquid intake should be minimized after 3:30pm – with the exception of skim milk with
dinner or a few ounces of a clear carbonated beverage such as Ginger Ale, Sprite, 7Up, or
Sierra Mist. You will have no water or lemonade after 3:30pm if following the schedule
properly, but if you drink a little bit later that is okay. But no plain water or lemonade
after 5pm.
Beverages:
 Any beverages are fine. Other than the lemonade and water/juice consumed on a
schedule, you will not need many other beverages. But other beverages are acceptable.
 With breakfast and lunch it is best to drink juice or skim milk with meals.
 If you desire a hot beverage, 4 ounces of weak coffee made with distilled water is
excellent. Feel free to add cream, milk, sweetener (before 2pm), etc.
 Skim milk is ideal with dinner – no fruit juices late in the day.
 Many herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile are acceptable, but do not drink more
than a 4-ounce cup per day – or drink it too late in the evening.
 Alcohol can be consumed on occasion. Beer and wine are generally discouraged,
whereas clear spirits and liquors are favored such as peppermint Schnapps, Vodka, etc.
But do not drink too much or more often than once or twice per week. If you find your
refractometer reading crashing, be sure to always drink your alcohol with a little fruit
juice. Alcohol is often a very powerful trigger of hypoglycemia.
Eating schedule:
 Eat your 3 meals at about the same time every day if possible
 Breakfast should be eaten within an hour or so of waking up in the morning.
 Lunch is the main meal and should be completed by no later than 2pm.
 Dinner should be eaten at least a couple of hours before going to bed if possible.
 No meat or sweets – including fruit, juice, and desserts after 2pm (although if you are
having a low sugar episode you can have a bite of fruit or teaspoon of sugar any time of
day or night)
Breakfast:
 Start the day with a high-carbohydrate breakfast that includes at least one piece of fruit
(or equivalent of one piece) AND…
 …a warm or hot cereal like grits, oatmeal, quinoa porridge, Cream of Wheat (with or
without added fruit and sweetener)
 OR something like pancakes, waffles, French toast, toast, biscuits, or other common
breakfast favorite (potentially better for a low sugar person, or if digestion is poor)
 Eggs are fine with breakfast a couple times per week.
 Turkey or beef bacon/sausage is fine on occasion with breakfast as well, but typically
meat (not including dairy and eggs) is consumed at the lunch meal only – and not
multiple times per day.
Lunch:
 Lunch on the RBTI is almost a form of recreation. You get to really chow down. This is
the meal of the day to totally satisfy every hunger or craving. When in doubt, eat a little
more – especially in the beginning as it can be really tough to eat lightly in the evening
when just getting started with the program.
 Try to start each lunch with a small, obligatory salad. The salad can be dressed with
whatever you like – extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar is the standard. Finish the
salad before you eat the rest of the meal
 Any accepted meat or fish is great, and should be accompanied by starches such as
grains, breads, root vegetables of any variety (except potatoes), beans, corn, or tortillas
and plenty of vegetables.
 Dessert is fine to eat. Low sugar people should eat a dessert every day – such as ice
cream, pie, or cookies. Remember no chocolate or nuts.
 The golden rule with lunch is to complete the meal in its entirety by no later than 2pm.
Dinner:
 Dinner is by far the lightest meal of the day. If you are VERY active and need to eat a
larger dinner you can, but make sure the meal contains no desserts, fruit, or meats (dairy
is fine).
 No sweets or meats at dinner.
 A wide variety of non-starchy vegetables should comprise the bulk of your evening meals
– in the form of steamed vegetables, sautéed vegetables, salads, and vegetarian soups
 Unless you have very high sugar levels, small portions of starches are okay in the
evening as well – including an ear of corn on the cob, tortillas as in tortilla soup or a
veggie quesadilla, a couple slices of toasted bread (toasted is always superior to glue-like,
untoasted bread), beans, rice, and so on.
 Skim milk is the ideal beverage with the evening meal. Avoid fruit juices.
Remineralizing your food:
 When feasible, add ½ teaspoon of blackstrap molasses to your food. Blackstrap molasses
is one of the most mineral dense foods on earth – with very high concentrations of
calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron.
 For example, add ½ teaspoon of blackstrap molasses to pancake or waffle batter,

cornbread batter, the water you are steaming your vegetables in, your soups, and your
breakfast porridges.
 A teaspoon of maple syrup can be added as well – maple syrup also has pretty good
mineral content.
Distilled water:
 Distilled water should be the only type of water you ingest. It is important not to switch
types of water if at all possible – such as drink a glass of tap water at a restaurant.
 If you are cooking something like a porridge or soup where you will be ingesting the
water, used distilled water in preparing it.
 If you are cooking pasta or vegetables and will be draining the water, it is fine to use
regular tap water.
Vitamin and Mineral Supplements:
 Vitamins recommended on the RBTI program such as Vitamin E, B6, B12, C, and A and
D are typically temporary recommendations – looked at more as a kickstart to the
program. They are to be taken twice daily in between meals, not with meals. You might
take them at say, 10:30am and 3:00pm. You will probably not need many vitamins,
except for maybe vitamin E, after spending six months on the program
 Minerals recommended on the program are to be taken with each meal – so 3 times per
day. The minerals you take at any given time are very individualized and require
supervision at first until you get the hang of the program.
 To make sure you get the right dosage, form, and quality of these supplements in a pork-
free capsule, all vitamins and minerals should be obtained through Daily Manufacturing
www.daily-mfg.com, Garrett Smith www.repairrestorerecover.com, or the office of
Challen Waychoff at (304) 230-9283 or ordered online at www.heavenlywater.com
Rules of the Sugar:
 If the refractometer reading drops below 2.0, stop drinking distilled water on the half
hour. As long as the refractometer reading is above 2.0, drink the full portion as advised
based on your chemistry
 If the refractometer reading drops below 1.5, stop drinking distilled water and eat a single
bite of fruit – or the equivalent, such as 2-3 grapes or 2-3 cherries. This small amount
works. If you consume a whole piece of fruit it can start the roller coaster ride all over
again.
 If the refractometer reading drops below 0.5, put a teaspoon of white sugar under your
tongue and let it dissolve slowly. Do this any time, day or night, that it happens
 Do not try to anticipate drops in sugar by not drinking the recommended amount of
water. You are trying to get the refractometer reading as close to 1.5 as possible. When
it is there, you try to keep it there as long as possible by adjusting water consumption
accordingly.
 If you do not have a refractometer, eat a bite of fruit and stop drinking water at the onset
of low sugar symptoms - which vary from person to person but include frequent and/or
urgent urination, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, shaking, etc.

Buying a Test Kit

Most RBTI practitioners charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 for a test kit. The good
news is, I‟m NOT an RBTI health practitioner. So, although Challen will gasp in horror at the
fact that I‟m giving you the scoop on how you can get the cheapest test kit, my allegiance is to
you and no one else. My goal is to get this information to as many people as possible, and
ensure that the maximum amount of people that stand to gain from doing RBTI can get what
they need to succeed on the program. And often that $400 initial charge is more of a leap of
faith than people are willing to take – especially for something they‟ve barely heard of, and
something that has such a strange and kooky history.
As of now, I think it‟s possible to get a test kit for just over $200 plus shipping charges. While
many will still try to weasel their way out of getting a test kit even at this price, I honestly advise
you to just man up and do it. The kit can be used for you and your whole family. It can be used
for friends and loved ones. Sick parents of friends. Sick kids that your kids are friends with.
You‟ll be really glad you had it. Sure, you could get a refractometer and some pH strips and
probably get by – maybe only spending $50. But this is really short-sighted.
Having said that, the things you will need to purchase are:
1) A refractometer
2) pH and urea testing supplies
3) A conductivity meter
4) Conductivity meter calibration fluid
Here is my current collection of cheap kit supply links…

3) Conductivity meter
Not sure what the cheapest functional one would be or where to get it. The Hanna DIST 6 is
what is used by Waychoff…

4) Calibration Fluid
http://www.pikeagri.com/Accessories-and-conductivity-standards/Conductivity-Standard-
12880uS-1-Pint/Detailed-product-flyer.html
As of this writing, this should allow you to get a test kit for roughly $217 plus shipping. If I find
a way to piece together a kit for less, I will certainly update the book.
Using a Consultant
Never in my life have I ever consulted with someone else about my diet. So if you have
reservations about this and are a self-sufficient do-it-yourself type of person, I fully understand.
But it‟s worth mentioning here that a consultant/coach can be very useful with RBTI. Body
chemistry is typically very easy to correct. Someone with even the smallest amount of
experience can see simple things and advise you in ways that, as a beginner, you will be highly
unlikely to do yourself. Over time you will get it, and be able to sort through things on your own
unless you run into an occasional roadblock that you can‟t seem to get around.
I think the chances are high that if you get on the program, you may run into some problems and
just throw in the towel, when odds are a consultant could have pinpointed what you may have
been doing wrong and tell you exactly what you can do to fix it – often in a matter of 24 hours.
Because it is so simple, a periodic check-in with a coach rarely last more than 15 minutes, and as
of now only costs $25.
To get a lot of personal attention, troubleshooting, and clarification on the finer details, you can
work with Pippa Galea. To do so, simply go to www.180degreehealth.com, go to the shop, and
add a $25 follow-up consultation to the cart. She will contact you soon to schedule your follow-
up.
If your case is extremely complex, or you don‟t seem to be responding to the program as
expected, you will be referred up to Challen Waychoff for his expertise, but this is rarely
necessary because most of this program is quite simple and easy. It just takes a while to learn it
for yourself, which is why a consultant is needed for the first few months – with a once-in-a-blue
moon check-in later on.
For your consultation, you will want to get a full set of “numbers,” unless you live in a foreign
country and have had trouble obtaining the urea testing chemicals or have found the full kit to be
too cost prohibitive. The test should be used with urine collected as close to 11am as possible.
This gives the best and most reliable portrait of how well you are following the program, as body
chemistry fluctuates throughout the day and makes it harder to see what‟s going on at a later
hour.
While you should test your urine at least once daily with a refractometer at the beginning, the full
test is only something that you need to do once every 2 weeks. Then the program will be
adjusted. You don‟t want to get in the habit of obsessively testing and then tweaking things
around. This is too chaotic for the body to have this kind of radical inconsistency. This leads to
neurosis as well, and wanting to send out four emails to your consultant full of questions every
day about what you should do and what the changes that you‟ve seen day to day mean. The
daily fluctuations don‟t mean much. It‟s more looking at a general overview of the direction you
are headed in – are you gaining or losing energy? (Meaning, is your body chemistry moving
closer or farther away from perfect?).
