Why RBTI and Metabolic Typing are likely to converge

Recently I’ve been able to summarize my learning more succinctly. RBTI resonates most with a much larger topic, the power of learning metabolic patterns. Given major metabolic systems in humans:

  • Breathing and blood circulation (oxygen),
  • Digest, assimilate, eliminate (as measured thru lymph biochem),
  • Sympathetic~parasympathetic dominance (neurological balance)…

…when biomarker reference ranges for optimal — not “average-normal” — are used for one or more of these systems, we begin to perceive Nature’s Plan for optimal physical wellness.

The more primary metabolic systems, where optimal reference ranges for biomarker numbers are known, the more perspectives we have on triangulating where optimal health is; and, how close or far away from it, we are today.

In this way for me, Dr. Reams, “Follow the numbers,” opens up into, ‘Nature’s Plan for optimal physical wellness.’ For those spiritually inclined, this highly resonates with ‘God as my Partner.’

Where does RBTI fit into this larger scheme of Nature’s Plan? Urine-saliva biomarker testing-analysis is the middle school, high school; and, community college level of learning and applying metabolic patterns.

In about 75 years, when the power of employing biomarkers for optimal wellness catches on and replaces pathology-germ-based medicine, it will be obvious urine-saliva biomarker testing-analysis supports any and every medical and health specialty, from podiatry to brain surgery. A great demand for Dr. Reams urine-saliva biomarker testing-analysis will arise. Testing to get the seven numbers alone will become a respected and profitable career.

In mainstream healthcare, in about 50 years, RBTI consulting is likely to merge with Metabolic Typing. Why? MetType expands on RBTI’s genius of assessing one primary metabolic system, based on optimal biomarker reference ranges. MetType assesses at least two metabolic systems. Sooner or later, MetType people will grasp adding a third system, optimal lymph biochem biomarkers, multiplies the effectiveness of their assessment and analysis.
