I’ve made the point before and I’ll make it even more emphatically here – there is only one person that has cracked the code of the RBTI. His name is Challen Waychoff. It has recently come to my attention that many people are hearing about RBTI here, googling it, and ending up on the forums of various jagoffs that have no idea what they are doing. Fail.There is only one person...

This work with Challen is heating up and getting more and more interesting every day. I’m away from my beloved Wheeling at the moment, but used one of the simple rules of RBTI today to prevent someone going into a seizure. In fact, the person was so disoriented that she thought she had had a seizure and?rushed to the bathroom mirror to look for bite marks on her tongue. But there were...
Hypoglycemia ? It’s Not All in Your Head, It’s All in Your Urine
While I of course am still very unsure of what to make of my RBTI adventure overall (it’s only been a week, and it is quite a shocking mind funk), I feel comfortable saying that there is at least something of value going on here. How much value? I don’t know. It remains to be seen. I have no doubt that some seriously undesirable body chemistries can be greatly improved, and from the...
Mushroom Hunting in West Virginia
Just a little show and tell here. On my way up to Wheeling I stopped in the Monongahela National Forest for some backpacking and general Tom Foolery. Along the way I found some chantrelle mushrooms that were absolutely huge.?Chantrelles are very common in the backcountry all over. I find them in Colorado like it’s nobody’s business. But this was my first Southern Fried chantrelle...
RBTI ? Challen Waychoff Delivers
I went to see Challen Waychoff because I was told he could look at a basic set of numbers ascertained from a series of simple urine tests and tell what was wrong with a person, what they ate and even when they ate it, and precisely what course of action to take to fix their body chemistry. This seemed like incredibly powerful knowledge, and hinted at a more sophisticated understanding of...
Why RBTI?
So why exactly have I journeyed up to the dilapidated town in West Virginia known as Wheeling, where tattooed rednecks walk around with no shirt through city streets, where the Klopeks would be scared of their neighbors ? and would have the best kept house in town… …where cars like the one shot with my phone are parked on lawns, where some of the world’s most unnattractive and...
John C. Parkin: F**k It
Alas! I have returneth from the rugged wilderness of West Virginia where the work to reward ratio is probably the highest I’ve ever encountered. I was swarmed by insects, walked through miles of nasty bogs, got completely drenched by hard rain, bushwacked up the nastiest slope of all time ever, and got ripped to shreds by thorns only to see 50 miles of trees, shrubs, and rock. The Rocky...
180 Healthy Eating Guide Part III ? Investigation
Of all the components to the 180 Healthy Eating Guide, none is more important than investigation. And I’m not just saying that because the only books I read as a kid were Encyclopedia Brown.Investigation is by far the biggest gaping hole in Western medicine, as well as many alternative therapies. While you may receive many blood tests and get diagnosed nearly to death, and this can prove...
The 180 Healthy Eating Guide Part II ? Information
In the last post we talked about the importance of intuition in choosing the foods that you eat. The bottom line is that if you are having a strong biological craving, you must fulfill it to the best of your ability. For young children intuitive eating is probably the most important guide. In an adult, especially one that spends a great deal of time lingering at food-centric health websites like...
The 180 Healthy Eating Guide Part I – Intuition
It’s time to do a quick summary on what I’ve been thinking lately as it pertains to diet. Remember, this is just the eating component we’re talking about here, not the literally hundreds of other factors that go into achieving and maintaining good health. So don’t get overly wrapped up in it, or in eating in general. If anything, I look at eating as a tool to help combat...
Pineapple
Recently a lot of people have reported to me that adding the good old-fashioned white powder to their diet has made them “feel like a new man (or woman).”? I’m talking about good old cane sugar of course. Sucrose. We discussed the possibility that sucrose has special properties, with a tendency to increase carbohydrate oxidation more than other carbohydrates, and potentially...
Frank Forencich
Not long ago I received three books in the mail from 180 follower Rob A. Rob and I have communicated closely for going on a couple of years now I think, and the arrival of these books ? all of them written by exercise scholar Frank Forencich, was timely. Every time summer rolls around I get the itch to spend a lot of time outdoors doing active things. My earliest dabblings with health came in my...
Dangers of Colorectal Cancer Screening
Last night, it was announced by my brother-in-law during dinner (ALWAYS while we are eating – is my family the only family like this?), that he will be going in for a colonoscopy later this week. Then, to my horror, other family members chimed in and started talking about their colonoscopies. I decided to eat in peace, and not get into it. With many things in mainstream medicine, people...
How Fast Should You Lose Weight?
If you are reading this, then consider yourself lucky. I’m about to solve all of the world’s problems with this simple article. World peace. A cure for AIDS. Global warming. Tupac’s whereabouts. Where Bin Laden got his growth hormone injections. It’s all here. Well okay, maybe not. But I do find that sometimes the very simple things that I take for granted often have the...
Sauteed Okra
Okra, a green (and sometimes reddish)’vegetable with starchy, slimy’seeds on the inside, is one of the most adored and hated of all vegetables in the United States. It has a true cult following. Those that love okra really LOVE okra. When I lived in Colorado, few growers produced it and it was rarely if?ever available at supermarkets. It was a dogfight to get the okra every...
Hypothyroid Face

The before and after pictures shared by Korg Kcuf in the last post on low-carb hypothyroidism reminded me of the stunning before and after hypothyroid treatment?pictures I once came across. Fortunately, I have found these photos online, and they do show some remarkable changes in?facial appearance. By Matt Stone You often hear this’swollen facial appearance referred to as “carbo...
Paleo Fail
I have written about the before and after of eating a low-carb Paleo or low-carb non-Paleo diet for going on three years now. While it is extremely common to lose weight without effort, hunger, or cravings ? and have amazing energy levels to boot (and temporary alleviation of health problems), that doesn’t make it healthy, sustainable, or permanent. In what I would venture to guess is the...
Medifast Hair Loss
Medifast, a “fast, safe, and effective weight loss program recommended by 20,000 doctors since 1980,” is one of those super low-calorie weight loss programs. Oh, but the doc oversees your progress so it’s “safe.”? Kind of like chemotherapy. Speaking of which, the inspiration for this post came from my mother, who I’m staying with for a few weeks here in...
The HCG Diet Scam

I tried for nearly six months to get my dietician friend Ariel to write a post about her first-hand experiences working at an HCG diet clinic. But she isn’t really a writing machine, and has been busy. Suffice it to say, she decided to quit working at the clinic even though the money was great ? because the people being treated looked and felt ill, and were not seeing lasting results from...
Starch Lowers Insulin

?It is of interest that diets high in fibre-rich cereals and tuberous vegetables tend to result in an improvement in basal blood glucoses. p. 281 Burkitt, Denis, Hugh Trowell, and Kenneth Heaton.? Dietary Fibre, Fibre-Depleted Foods and Disease.? Academic Press:? London, 1985. It is a common belief that starch, or any type of carbohydrate – particularly high-glycemic starches like...
