Ivan,
I will let Terry defend himself here, but I do want to give a bit of
input.
I also use the Ream's urine/saliva testing in my practice. I find it
to be very useful and accurate. It is very hard to understand, and it
sometimes seems confusing. But the bottom line is that it does work.
According to Dr. Reams, there are 7 types of calcium. Most disease
is mainly due to lacking one or more of these calciums. According
to the Urine pH, we supplement with one or more of these 7 types of
calciums.
Also, the testing will tell you if you need magnesium or
potassium, or iron, or many other minerals. It will tell you if you are
drinking enough water or not. It will tell you if your liver and other
organs are stressed. In fact Dr. Reams could tell you a lot of things
from the test that I don't know how to tell, but it really doesn't matter
as long as I can get the chemistry to move to a balance, it will work!
Also, Dr. Reams used 2 mineral products. One was a desalted
kelp found off the shores of Norway, the other was a product called
Min-Col and was a phosphate form of many of the minerals. He
didn't have the liquid colloidal minerals, so I don't know what his
opinion would have been for them.
Even though the info seem to contradict itself, most of what
Terry had to say was right on as far as Dr. Reams was concerned.
Just realize that Dr. Reams was a very smart man, and yet until you
learn his ideas and apply them in the lives of people, they seem to
be strange and way off. But in practice they are right on!!!
Hope this helps shed some light on what Terry had to say and
on Dr. Reams.
Take Care!
