Jim, I was going to post some info on the Reams lemon thing, but thought it would cause an uproar, yet I am encouraged by your little discussion, so here is a bit I was composing for Vilik. Let me know what you think. Also, I have people all over the continent who want me to test them. Would you be willing to tell me how you can do long-distance testing? Reams always said that the urine/saliva samples must be less than 30 minutes old. If you are willing to share this with me, you can send it to me privately at tw...@yahoo.com. (There are enough clients for us both!?) (BTW, I would consider 4 oz per hour of lemon water to a bit high at the beginning. Carey Reams had most clients - according to his son - drink two oz per hour or one oz every half hour. In case of too severe a healing crisis, go down to one oz per hour or even 1/2 oz every hour.)
Vilik, this is for you (and any interested others). Glancing at your email on the list, I felt I wanted to respond to your line of questions. This will again differ from the norm, but I am still coming from Dr. Reams teaching. The chemist you mentioned touched on the central issue concerning lemons, when he mentioned that it is attracted to cations. To make sense of that, let me define anions and cations. Firstly, an ion is a molecule with an electric charge. An anion contains the smallest amount of energy known to man. One anion will contain from 1 to 499 Milhouse units of energy. It is a negative charged ion. Anionic corresponds to alkaline. Its electrons orbit around the nucleus in a clockwise direction. A cation corresponds to acid. One cation will contain from 500 to 999 Milhouse units of energy. It is a positive charged ion. Its electrons orbit in a counter-clockwise direction. When a cation gains more than 999 Milhouse units of energy, it splits into two anions. Lemons are the only food which are purely anionic. The catch (which your chemist may not know) is that this is only true of fresh lemons. After about 30 minutes of exposure to air (oxygen), lemon juice becomes cationic. The confusion comes when one thinks in terms of acid and alkaline. Lemon juice would always be thought of as acid, but, while fresh, is anionic (which corresponds to alkaline). If you had an acid urine pH and you used Dr. Reams' lemon/water drink as he suggested, your pH would become more alkaline. This seems illogical when you think of lemon juice as acidic. But it's not, its anionic. In addition to fresh lemon juice, the only other thing that is purely anionic is pure calcium. According to Reams, anions are attracted to the Van Allen radiation belt around the earth. Cations are attracted to the earth itself. Cationic foods include potatoes, carrots, beets and other root vegetables, which grow into the earth because of their cationic composition. They are not wholly cationic, however; the flowering, leafy part is anionic, which is why it grows upwards (actually, even the roots are part cationic and anionic, but mostly cationic). Corn, tomatoes, etc., are mostly anionic and grow upwards, but their cationic root parts grow down into the earth. According to Reams, the key issue here concerns our digestive process. The gastric juice produced by the liver is anionic. All foods (except fresh lemons) are a varying mixture of cationic and anionic. When the anionic gastric juices come into contact with cationic foods, the two ions react to each other, much like vinegar and baking soda, and energy is released to be used by the body. Let me quote from Dr. Reams, "We do not live off the food we eat, we live off the energy from the food we eat. The anion rotates in a clockwise direction. The cation in a counter-clockwise direction. Resistance is created when these two moving forces, rotating in opposite directions, collide. The measure of the resistance, in chemistry, is called "pH". When a person gets sick, there are not enough anionic substances present to supply the energy he needs from the cationic foods eaten." Add to that the issue of the foods being demineralized, and the problem becomes more serious. Dr. Reams used fresh lemon juice as a part of a restorative therapy with his clients (one part juice to nine parts distilled water). The juice provided anionic substances to their livers. To Reams, the issue was not eating an alkaline or acid diet, but giving your body what it needed, which focused especially on the right kinds of calciums. When I test a client's urine/saliva pH, I am looking to see how efficient their digestion is, which is one of the first issues to rectify, because, if you can't digest it, how can you utilize it? The proper calciums provide the body with those elements that are necessary for the body to manufacture essential digestive juices. The pH tests also indicate the speed and efficiency of the digestion (alkaline pH means slower digestion, acid pH means faster digestion), the level of minerals available to be used by the body, the strength/efficiency of the insulin, the mineral reserve (what is left) in the body, and they effect the interpretation of the other numbers from the test. Dr. Reams said that if you could only do one test, the pH test would be the most important. As Jim said, the lemon/water therapy is so effective, many people experience a healing crisis when they do it. But don't think of it as lemon juice, think of it as supplying your liver with the anionic materials it needs to correct unbalanced metabolic chemistry.
