>From my Metabolic Bioanalysis brochure: HISTORY: "Metabolic Bioanalysis was first developed in the early 1930's by the late biophysicist/biochemist Dr. Carey Reams. Early in his career, Reams had earned a reputation for his work in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry. Dr. Reams would test and analyze a farmer's soil, and when the farmer would follow Reams' recommendations for treating and restoring the soil to optimum productivity, the farmer would frequently experience up to a five-fold increase in crop production. Dairy cows fed with grain that was grown on this improved soil were known to produce 3-5 times more milk than ordinary dairy cows, and the milk was noticeably sweeter and creamier. "In the late 1930's, Dr. Reams had a neighbor who had a little boy, 3-1/2, whom the doctors said was having epileptic seizures. The doctors had told the boy's father that his son would not live beyond the age of 5, that one day he would go into a seizure he would not recover from. At this time the boy was having 8 seizures per day, and medicine had no effect. Dr. Reams took the principles of biochemistry that he had developed in the field of animal husbandry and applied them to human biochemistry. Dr. Reams (not a medical doctor, but a biochemist/biophysicist) took samples from the boy's body of everything it was possible to get a sample of and discovered that all the test results were duplicated in urine and saliva. (Reams believed he was the first person to ever do hair analysis). He made suggestions to the father of diet changes and supplements. After one month, the boy was down to one or two seizures per day, and after three months, all seizures had stopped. By 1968, Reams was traveling 150,000 miles per year as an agricultural consultant. After he retired from being an agricultural consultant, a 20-year old girl with Hodgkin's disease came to see him, telling him that the doctors had given her 30 days to live. He tested her, made recommendations, and she recovered. After that, people began to seek him out in large numbers. "As Reams' reputation spread and the demand for his attention grew, he decided to teach his analysis method to others. Though Dr. Reams died in 1988, today his bioanalysis technique is practiced and taught by his son, Eugene Reams, and his many students throughout the U.S. and Canada. Dr. Reams raised six children to adulthood, and none of them ever had a cold, ever had a cavity, ever missed a day of school in their lives! (They were all honor students, too.) "People would come to Dr. Reams and say, "I'm experiencing such-and-such a symptom, what do you think I should do?", and Reams would say, "I don't know, I haven't tested you. Don't tell me your symptoms, I don't trust symptoms. I only want to see what your test numbers are. The numbers never lie." He had no favorite diets (except good, natural food), and he didn't believe in consuming unnecessary nutritional supplements. His philosophy was, find out what your body needs, supply that to your body, and you will experience better health." Further comments: Dr. Reams never actually went to Mexico. After he helped that first little boy, word got around and people began to flock to his door. The local medical folks charged him with practising medicine w/out a license, so he moved to another state and bought a ranch. Pretty soon, 300 people a month were coming to him. The doctors in that state got him thrown in jail for a year, so he sold his ranch, moved to another state and bought a ranch way out in the boonies with no street signs. 300 people a month showed up. One night, someone came in and burned his ranch down. So he moved to another state, and began doing what he should have done from the start: Teach his testing method to others. When I first read one of the books about Dr. Reams, it addressed some very important concerns I had had about the nutritional field. When I first began investigating the field of holistic health (back in the 70's), I didn't like the fact that 10 different people would write 10 different books describing 10 different diets that everyone should eat, accompanied by wonderful testimonies from people who had experienced renewed health. Yet each of these books described diets that were mutually exclusive of each other. One author would declare with great authority that everyone should eat 75 grams of protein per day, while another would state unequivocally that the healthiest diet was pure vegan. Some said no dairy products, another said heavy dairy products. Some said we needed lots of supplements, others said all we needed was good food. When I started to get training, and later when I visited with some of Reams' students, and when I spent a week of intensive all-day training with Dr. Reams' son, I was struck by the individualization that the testing produced. One client was told to eat no protein at all, not even grains, until their chemistry balanced. Another needed 8-ounces of beef per day, again until their chemistry balanced. One client who came in was dying of leukemia. The practitioner (this was in Oregon) put her on a pound of bacon per day. When he told me that, I just about yelled, "BACON?!?! WHY THAT'S FULL OF SODIUM NITRATE!!" But as soon as I said that, I remembered that one of the tests is to determine the level of nitrate nitrogens, which are by-products of protein metabolism. This doctor told me, "Yeah, her nitrates were so low, I was afraid she would fall into a coma. I had her eat the bacon for one week, tested her, and then told her to never eat bacon again". Dr. Reams, near the end of his career, stated that he had treated 50,000 cancer patients in his lifetime, and only five of them died from cancer. Plus, these were usually patients who had suffered the doctors worst, then came to Reams as a last resort. Did Reams know everything? No. He didn't know about colloidal silver. (We're not totally off-topic here!) But most of Reams' students have gone into hiding from FDA persecution. I am in Canada, in the most relaxed province (for alternative health), and have found a very good reception from the folks here.
