Dear Terry, Its quite obvious having read your message and some other information about Dr Reams, that he was an innovator and rebel, who developed systems and treatments that work in both humans and agriculture. His ideas may be of great benefit.
It is therefore unfortunate that he chose to co-opt conventional scientific terminology to describe his theories, in a manner which makes his theories read like nonsense when read by someone with more than a little scientific knowledge. This would pretty much ensure his ideas, whether right or wrong, could never gain wide acceptance. It is a great shame that your explanations to us must taken on trust, as the words you use do not mean the same as currently understood in the scientific community. Cations and anions, pH, acid and alkaline etc. do not mean the same to you as to me. Your explanation to Vilik is not going to be much help to her if your terms don't equate to hers or to those of the people she has relied on for information thus far. Fortunately there are some books available, which are "successfully demystifying and clarifying the great man's beliefs and terminology", so perhaps in the future we might meet on common ground. Until then...
