to Use Cell Salts

Early Development Dr W. H.
Schuessler of Oldenburgh, Germany was a follower of Virchow
who in 1858 announced his "cell theory" in which he stated
that the human body was composed of a series of cells from
which it followed that as a consequence medical treatment
against illness should be directed towards healing the
individual cell. Schuessler applied an analytical approach to
Virchow's cell theory and spent much time analysing blood as
well as the ashes obtained from dead people. As a result of
this investigative work he was able to establish the twelve
mineral compounds which made up the bulk of each cell. By 1873
he was calling these mineral compounds "Cell salts" or "Tissue
Salts".
Schuessler's next investigation was
to relate the various symptoms of illness displayed by his
patients to known call salt deficiencies. He discovered that
when the deficient mineral was supplied to his patients the
illness disappeared and the body automatically corrected
itself. In other words application of the correct cell salt
automatically cured an ill patient. This was the beginning of
Dr Schessleras biochemic system of medicine.
The body provides an accurate
indication of balance by functioning in perfect harmony and
being healthy and symptom free. If each cell does not receive
its proper nourishment or if the cell cannot rid itself of
toxic waste a disease process begins.
The success of the Biochemical Cell
salt theory lies in accurately linking a person's symptoms
with the appropriate Tissue/Cell Salt. Symptoms occur in a
variety of forms and are a guide to the nature of the body's
deficiency and to the correct treatment required. How and
where they occur helps to determine the correct tissue
salt.
Finally for optimum results Dr
Schuessler applied his findings through the medium of
Homeopathy. This was because it was observed that when
inorganic mineral salts were ingested directly into the
metabolic system they were found to pass through undigested
the process of mineral assimilation and digestion failing to
liberate the inorganic substance. Homeopathy however ensured
that the mineral cell salt was presented in a form that
optimised its transportation and assimilation into the body.
When the Homeopathic cell salt tablet is place sublingually
(under the tongue) it is absorbed directly into the blood
stream through the process of osmosis thus by-passing the
inefficiencies of the metabolic process.
Because the
mineral salts work inside the cells (intra-cellularly), they
are called "cell salts" or "tissue salts". Schuessler also
coined the term "Biochemic" to describe the method whereby the
chemistry of an inorganic mineral (Cell Salt) in Homeopathic
form is used to balance a deficiency within the cells of
the human body with the express objective of correcting the
imbalance and restoring health.

Summary of Schuessler's
Biochemic Cell Salt Method
1. The
human body contains 12 vital inorganic substances (or Cell or
Tissue salts) that are responsible for the maintenance of
normal cell function.
2. When from some cause one or
more of these Cell Salts become deficient the normal cell
function or metabolism is disturbed and a condition arises
known as disease.
3. By supplying a body which
exhibits symptoms of Cell Salt deficiency with the deficient
Cell Salt in the form of Biochemic remedies the imbalance is
corrected and normal cell function and health
resume.
Schuessler introduced his 12
inorganic salts as embracing all the essential nutrients known
to medicine and chemistry at the time. He presented them as
necessary for proper growth and development of every part of
the body. For ease of identification he designated a number
from 1 to 12 to each salt.

Why are Cell Salts
Essential?
Because mineral Cell
salts are the foundation from which all other metabolic
activity proceeds. Cell Salts are necessary for vitamins and
enzyme production and activity in the body and serve as
catalysts in energy cycles and other functions including water
balance, digestion, removing toxins, cell elasticity,
oxygenation, nutrition, sodium/potassium balance etc. The body
thus has a prime requirement for Cell Salts without which
metabolic activity of any description would not be
possible.

How do Cell Salts
Work?
The easiest way to describe the
function of Cell salts is by reference to the principle of
magnetism. Most people remember the first principle which
states that like poles repel whilst unlike poles attract.
However most people forget the second principle which sates
that a weak pole is attracted to its similar strong pole (ie
similar poles are attracted if one is weak whilst the other is
strong).
Homeopathic cures are based on the Law of
Similars. Thus a Homeopathic remedy with a similar vibrational
frequency to that of an illness will oppose the illness and
restore health (ie like poles repel) always provided the two
vibrations are of similar strength. On the other hand a strong
Homeopathic vibration when confronting a similar but weak
vibration (such as that produced by a deficiency symptom) will
attract or rejunvenate the weak deficiency vibration thus
correcting the imbalance.
Cell salts are low potency
Homeopathics (6X) and consequently have strong vibrations.
These strong Homeopathic vibrations will, when confronting the
similar but weak vibration of a deficient mineral, rebalance
or augment the vibrations of the deficient mineral thereby
restoring tone and balance (ie similar poles are attracted if
one is weak whilst the other is strong).
Cell salt
therapy may thus be regarded as a stimulation therapy. One
expects the effect of cell salts to be such as to encourage
deficient body cells obtain their mineral requirements from
dietary sources. The body cells are thus being enabled to
digest and assimilate the deficient mineral from the food in
larger quantities than heretofore until such time as the
requirement is met. In this way body cells are rejuvenated
and health and vitality restored.

The Biochemic Method vs
Homeopathy
Similarities 1. Both systems
used potentised remedies. 2.
Prescription is based on symptomology
Dissimilars 1. The Cell Salt
system regards illness chemically whereas illness in
Homeopathy is regarded in terms of an unbalanced vital
force.
2. The basis for cure in the Cell
Salt system is that of rectifying chemical deficiencies in
nutrition whereas the basis for cure in Homeopathy
is holistic. The Cell Salt system
works from what it considers to be the
cause of the disease whereas Homeopathy works from the similimum
3.
The Cell Salt system uses only 12 remedies (or 27 if
the new Cell salts are included) to effect the cure
of any health problem. Homeopathy has several thousand
remedies.

Identifying the Condition
1. Using
Physical Symptoms. This is most convenient
for acute situations (ie diarrhoea, fever, back injury,
gastritis, headache, sprains & strains
etc).
2. Using Facial
Analysis This method is more suitable for
the treatment of chronic long term conditions the precise
causal symptoms of which may be unclear. It can also be used
for the treatment of mental or emotional conditions and
concerns. For example one may be bothered and anxious over
issues such as: "Why do people treat me the way they do?" or
"Why does the same theme keep repeating in my life?" or "Why
do I react in the same way even when I know it is going to
hurt me?" In many ways Facial Analysis corresponds to
Constitutional prescription in Homeopathy.
Schuessler was the first to detect
that the lack of minerals reflects as a disturbance in the
body as well as in the face of a person. He understood Facial
Analysis as an art and for him, all such signs were clear
indications of an impending disorder.
His follower Dr Kurt Hickethier
established the Facial Analysis Clinic in Germany and
published the first standard reference text book on the
subject in1936. Facial Analysis proved that every disease is
caused by certain mineral deficiencies which are reflected in
the face.
Our internal energy is reflected in our
external appearance. We are the sum total of what we
look like, how we behave and all the events that we have
experienced. Each of us is unique and yet there is a
blueprint to who we are. That blueprint is our survival
instinct and our face is an objective way of determining which
survival instinct we inherited.
Facial therapy
has experienced a growth of popularity in the last few years
and none has done more for its Homeopathic promotion then
Grant Bentley. His two books on the subject are already
regarded as seminal and bring the therapy into the
contemporary 21st century. Dr Schuessler's Cell Salts have
proved to be so successful that they survived over a century
of medical advancement. This happened maybe because of the
fact that Tissue Salts work with the cause and not only with
the symptom.

Matching the Condition with the
Recommended Cell Salts
This is be done with the help of a
Cell Salt Condition Index. The
Condition Index is an alphabetical list of
symptom conditions against which are provided the recommended
Cell Salts for treatment. Thus if the presenting condition
is cough/ eczema/ headache/ heartburn etc the recommended Cell
Salts can be readily found by reference to the alphabetically
arranged Condition Index. Cell
Salt Condition Indexes may be found in various
publications or on the web

Cell Salt Condition Index - Web
Based A suitable web
based Condition Index can be found by clicking the MORE
button below.
Beware however
a) The Condition Index is essentially a translation from
German and some of the conditions make for stilted
English whilst others are unclear as to precisely what
condition is actually referred to.
b) The Condition
Index includes 15 New Cell Salts in its recommendations with
Cell Salt numbers 1-27. This contrasts to Schuesslers sequence
of 1-12 (which excludes the New Cell Salts). The last three
Cell Salts (numbers 25-27) are not accepted by some
authorities as being sufficiently proven to be included as
Cell Salts unlike the first 24 which have universal
acceptance.
c) You may experience difficulty in Europe
obtaining the New Cell Salts outside of Germany. They are
virtually unobtainable in the States.
d) The Condition
Index uses the European Cell Salt numbering system rather than
the more widely used USA system. The numbering differences
apply to Cell Salts 1-12 only and a comparison of the two
systems is provided in the foregoing table.

Directions for Cell Salt
Use
Use with
confidence Bichemical remedies are
perfectly safe. They do not produce side effects, react
adversely with other medications and are non addictive.
Infants and small children may use them with complete safety.
Things to
Avoid It is preferable to avoid taking the
following up to 15 mins either side of dosing. Coffee,
caffeine containing products (ie cola, chocolate etc) alcohol,
aromatics, flavoured toothpaste, garlic or other strong herbs,
camphor containing products, tobacco, exposure to strong
odours (ie fresh paint, Lysol etc) Avoid contaminating the
tablets by handling. Use the cap of the container to discharge
the tabs into for counting purposes.

Normal Dosage (Single Cell Salt
Dosing)
Infant 1
tab at a time taken up to 4 times a
day
Child 2 tabs at time taken up
to 4 times a day
Adult 4 tabs
at time taken up to 4 times a day
Normal Dosage (Combination Cell Salt
Dosing)
When combining Cell
Salts (in situations where more than one Cell Salt is
selected) the number of tabs taken each time increases with
the number of Cell salts used. Thus if 3 Cell Salts were to
be used in the case of an Infant the dosage would be 3
tabs at a time taken up to 4 times a day
Acute Dosage Every hour
decreasing frequency as symptoms improve.
Very Acute Dosage (Severe
pain, epistaxis, haemorrhage, injury, wound, shock, trauma
etc) Every 15 mins decreasing frequency as symptoms
improve.

How
to Use
1. Internal Methods
Oral Soft Tab (Lactose)
Method These are soft lactose based tabs with a
sweet milk sugar taste and dissolve very rapidly under
the tongue (within seconds). They are ideal for young
children who may tend to spit out the standard hard tablet.
Count out the required number of tabs directly into the lid of
the container. Place them under the tongue (sub lingually) so
that the cell salts are assimilated by the oral mucosa
directly into the blood stream.
Gum
Application Alternatively the soft tabs can
be rubbed directly onto to the gums in the case of babies
or young infants.
Cold Sip
Method Tip the required number of tablets for the
complete day in a 0.5 litre bottle and fill with warm water.
Shake to mix. Cool in a refrigerator. Sip throughout the
day retaining the liquid in the mouth and under the tongue for
as long as convenient. The bottle need not be kept
refrigerated after cooling.
Hot Sip,
Method This hot sip method is often used with the
Cell Salt Mag-p which is particularly responsive to
temperature. The Hot Sip method may also be used for any Cell
Salt in situations where a fast response to medication is
particularly required. To prepare the Hot Sip add some hot
water to a cup into which the required number of Cell Salt
tablets have previously been placed. Allow to dissolve and sip
(once the liquid is at a comfortable temperature) over the
next hour or so retaining the liquid in the mouth and under
the tongue for as long as convenient.
Dropper Bottle
Method Count out the required number of tabs
directly into a cup. Make a solution of the Cell Salts by
dissolving the tabs in a little tepid water (1-2
tablespoons). By squeezing the bulb of
a dropper tube suck up half a tube of Cell Salt
solution and squirt the liquid into the mouth or under the
tongue. In addition to being suitable for small children
this method may also be useful treating domestic
pets.

2. External
Methods For external use the 3X potency is
preferable but otherwise the normal 6X (which is used
for internal dosing) may be used.
Cream
Method To prepare the Cell Salt cream. Place
the daily (or weekly) number of tabs of selected Cell Salts in
a small bowl and add a small amount of water (1-2 tablespoons
only) enough to obtain a tablet mash. Mix the daily mash
with about 1 oz of Calendula cream. Increase the quantity of
Calendula cream proportionately when making batches to last
for more than a day. Apply the Cell Salt cream 3-4 times a
day to the area requiring treatment.
Tablet Mash
Method As an alternative to the Cream method if
Calendula is unavailable (or no suitable alternative) the same
tablet mash may be directly applied to the affected
area.
Compress Method Spread the
Cell Salt cream (or mash) on a clean cotton cloth and apply
directly to the required area. Wrap the cloth with a
bandage/tape to fix it. Leave the compress for several
hours or overnight. Remove the compress and rub the rest
of the cream softly, until it is assimilated by the skin.
Navel
Method In the case of very young infants (or
situations where oral administration is undesirable) the
required number of tablets can be dissolved in a little tepid
water (2-3 tablespoons) and applied to the
navel.

 Author Andrew W.
Saul Schuessler's 12 Cell
Salts (Original)
Oldenburg, Germany published Shortened
Therapeutics in 1873. This eminently practical work
concentrated on just 12 simple mineral combinations, or salts,
which he believed to be crucial to the health of the body.
Schuessler's students included major homeopathic figures such
as H. C. G. Luyties of St. Louis, and Dr. Constantine
Hering of Philadelphia, author of Hering's Law of Cure ("Cure
occurs from the head down, from within out, and in the reverse
order in which the symptoms first appeared.")
Efficient use of Schuessler's biochemistry requires
three things:
- a
working understanding of
homeopathy, - a
recognition that LOCALIZED tissue mineral deficiencies may
exist, - and practical
experience.
The
safety of homeopathic preparations is so extremely good that
practically anyone may learn about and try these "cell salts"
at home for themselves and their immediate family. More
information on the salts and their specific health
applications will be found in Dr. Schuessler's
Biochemistry by J.B. Chapman, M.D. (London: New Era Labs,
1973). Dr. Chapman's excellent book indicates some
keynote symptoms for the cell salts, of which the following is
a summary:

MORE ON THE SCHUESSLER CELL
SALTS Twelve cell salts were recognized and categorized by a
German biochemist William H. Schuessler in 1873. He
found that there are certain essential minerals that the body
requires, in proper balance, in all of its cells. An
imbalance or a lack of any of these
minerals may lead to disease in the tissues so
lacking. Providing the missing minerals to
the tissues corrects that imbalance,
and so eliminates the illness.
This seemingly simple system of cure has great
practical application in health. Using only a small
number of harmless combinations (or "salts") of these
minerals, it is possible for any individual to treat him- or
herself simply and effectively for a great variety of everyday
minor ailments. It is significant that such cell-salt
treatment is replenishing something the body lacks and wants,
as opposed to merely suppressing illness with drugs and other
chemicals. Drugs do not provide missing cell nutrients,
but drugs do add harmful chemicals to the body which
ultimately compound the problem.
The Schuessler cell salts may be seen as
special raw materials for the body, which you need more of if
you run out of what you normally have. A "salt" is any type of
readily dissolvable mineral combination, not just table salt.
Many people take dietary iron supplements, but few would chew
on a rusty nail for iron The same is true
with the Schuessler minerals: the potassium, silicon,
iron,phosphate or other substance must be in a special
potentiation to be most useable to thebody. Most
Schuessler cell salts are in a homeopathic potency, which uses
minute quantities of a substance with great effect. The
potentiation process multiplies the essential energy of a
substance while at the same time decreasing the dosage
amount. The subtlety, harmlessness and effectiveness of
such preparations have been clinically proven for well over
two hundred years, since the beginnings of homeopathic
treatment in the 18th century.
Schuessler cell salts (also called "biochemic cell
salts") are a non-prescription item and
are available directly from any homeopathic pharmacy.
Because of the medical profession's long-standing opposition
to homeopathic remedies, it is not certain that your local
drug store will even know what "cell salts" are, let alone
stock them. Most health food stores
do carry them. Schuessler remedies are commonly in a "6X"
homeopathic potency. The "X" refers to the Roman numeral
10; 6x is one part in ten, repeated six times.Reprinted

Salts (New)
Modern Nutritional
Knowledge
As previously explained, Schuesslers
choice of the original cell salts was confined to the
essential minerals known at the time (1873). Since then great
strides have been made in nutritional research and our
understanding of the functions of the healthy organism. Other
nutrients have since been identified as key factors in the
maintenance of good health. These minerals, required in the
diet in very small quantities, are termed trace element or
micronutrients. Deficiencies of these essential nutrients in
the diet have a profound effect on the entire organism, which
may be cataclysmic.
These trace elements or
micronutrients are listed below, with the year of those most
recently identified as essential nutrients shown.

In every
case disorders arising in the human organism resulting from a
dietary deficiency of these elements matched the key proving
symptoms of the remedy.
Here are some examples
Remedy:
Cuprum Aceticum (Copper acetate)
Nutritional Properties of
the mineral Copper deficiency results in anaemia
(necessary with iron for the formation of haemaglobin),
diarrhoea, speech defects, muscle spasms, cramp, rigidity and
neurotic brain behaviour, weight loss, exhaustion.
Proving Symptoms of the
Remedy MIND: Decreased brain functions, delirium,
maniacal talking, use of unintentional words, loss of
consciousness, convulsions, fatigue. HEAD: Vertigo, brain
inflammation, violent throbbing headache. STOMACH:
Diarrhoea, colic, vomiting (Green/white), weight
loss. EXTREMETIES: Drawing and tension in all limbs,
numbness, cramp in calbes, spasmodic contractions of fingers
and toes, stiffness of limbs, paralysis.
The
relationship between the proving symptoms of the Homeopahic
remedy and the metabolic role of the essential mineral
nutrient contained therein is clear if we compare them.
Remedy Lithium Carbonicum
(Lithium carbonate)
Nutritional Properties of
the mineral Deficiency of intake affects the entire
organism. Mood swings, manic depressive illness, chronic
rheumatism, stiffness in limbs. Excess of lithium
interferes with thyroid function and problems of insomnia,
weight loss, weakness.
Proving Symptoms of the
Remedy MIND: Depression, moodiness, anxiety,
(<morning) nightmares, lethargy. HEAD: Headaches,
confusion, dizziness, head feels large. ABDOMEN: Pain in
right kidney, burning in urethra, sore bladder, stools light
yellow. EXTREMETIES: Rheumatic pain in small joints,
particularly lower limbs, swelling on small joints, paralytic
stiffness in all limbs. SKIN: Body itches,
itching.
ALL SYMPTOMS: <morning, right side,
pressure, movement
Thus by the same argument of relating
proving symptoms and the symptoms arising from the deficiency
or excess of the nutrient contained in the remedy, 12 new
salts can be drawn up all based on the Materia
Medica.
12 New Cell
Salts
His thesis is therefore that any fully proved
Homeopathic remedy that contains one or more of the essential
mineral nutrients not known to Schuessler has the potential to
act as a cell salt conforming with the biochemical theory. Dr
Cook selected remedies whose criteria suggest optimum clinical
efficacy in this context. For example it should be noted that
where possible the nutrients presented in the form of a
mineral salt rather than the elements themselves are
preferred. The ionize atoms of these elements can enter into
spontaneous combination to form electro bonds with other
atoms., thus rendering the elements biologically available
more readily.
Dr
Cook proposed the following new cell salt to be added to
Schuesslers existing 12 salts. He emphasized that by doing so
he in no way ran counter to Schuesslers original theory or
even to homeopathic principles. All the remedies are in the
Homeopathic Materia
Medica and are fully proven.

Potency Dr Cook suggested
that whereas Scheussler's recommendation was for 3X or 6X
potencies the infinitesimally small nutritional levels
required for the new minerals in micrograms call for dosing at
potencies of 6C or 12X.
Commercial Practice in
Germany
However notwithstanding the
recommendations of Dr Cook commercial practice took a slightly
different route in Germany where an additional 15 Cell
Salts were added to the original list making a
total of 27 Cell Salts. However not all authorities
agree with the inclusion of the last thee (ie Cell Salts
25-27) citing that insuffieient evidence currently exists to
justify their inclusion. Another variation from Dr Cook's
recommendation is that the actual salts chosen for the
minerals differ on some instances. The current list of German

?> How Cell Salts
Work For an explanation of how Cell Salts
help us absorb minerals look at magnetic principles. I like to
use the following illustration: Just as a north pole
magnet repels another north pole magnet; a like homeopathic
medicine will repel a like vibrational illness in the
body. Once the imbalance is thrown out, the body can heal
itself. New studies verify that homeopathics do indeed carry a
vibration with them. In magnetism a like pole repels a like
pole.
But a
weak like pole can also be regenerated by a like pole.
Likewise, cell salts help to strengthen their like fields
in our bodies. To encourage this regeneration, Cell Salts
are taken at low potencies.

Why are Cell
salts Essential? Because minerals are the foundation for
enzyme activity in the body and serve as catalysts in
energy cycles and functions. For example, the body must
first have minerals to make vitamins or make use of
vitamins regardless of the source. Cell Salts are used in the
basic functioning of the cells including water balance,
digestion, removing toxins, elasticity of the cells,
oxygenation, nutrition, sodium/potassium balance
etc.
Cell Salts are my first suggestion for people new
to homeopathy because of the ease of selection and dosing,
the safety in potency and the quick results. When I
personally work with a client, along with selection of a
remedy, I will add the Cell Salt that is showing deficiency
in the body. I feel this is an essential step to enable
the body to heal.

is spasmodic, use Magnesium Phos. Magnesium Phos calms
spasmodic coughs, hiccups, menstrual cramps.
Magnesium
Phos is from magnesium, an important mineral that is involved
in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Homeopathic
Magnesium Phos goes quickly into the system for prompt relief.
Studies have shown that most adults are deficient in the
mineral magnesium. Refined foods, pollution, non-absorption
and insufficient ability of the body to utilize magnesium in
the body are some of the causes. It is especially recommended
that diabetics, individuals with heart disease and those with
high blood pressure have their magnesium levels checked.
Magnesium Phos, especially in low potency 6X, can help
your body utilize magnesium in the body and from food and is
completely safe (unlike 500 mg supplements that can cause
bowel overload with resulting diarrhea). Cell Salts can
improve the bodys ability to absorb Magnesium. If lacking in
Magnesium Phos, nerves are on edge with the inability to relax
emotionally (showing as anxiety, nervous disorders,
depression) and physically (showing as muscle problems,
fibromyalgia-worse with even a light touch, nerve
sensitivity-even the skin may feel overly sensitive).
Deficiency symptoms include stress, pain, anxiety,
depression, muscle spasms, migraine headaches, PMS headaches,
agitation, irritability, constipation, fatigue. Magnesium
Phos is found inside the cells of muscles, nerves, bones, the
brain and spine. Deficiency affects muscle fibers and nerve
endings. Magnesium is one of the trio including Potassium and
Calcium involved in muscle function. Magnesium deficiency has
been linked with CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Consider Magnesium Phos when there has been nerve
injury or damage. Speed injury recovery with Magnesium Phos.
Magnesium Phos is indicated when nerve pain is shooting,
darting, or spasmodic. Couple this with magnesium's presence

Kali Phos/potassium and Natrum Mur/sodium
comprise the minerals that run our cells' "batteries". They
are the body's electrolytes. Fatigue is a defiency symptoms of
these 2 Cell Salts.
Natrum Mur is one of the most
common constitutional types in homeopathy. This is no surprise
considering the extensive overuse of salt and processed foods
in our society. Natrum Mur is the homeopathic cell salt form
of sodium chloride, so is used to balance excess salt in the
system. Natrum Mur supports kidney function and relieves
edema, whereas overuse of salt overworks the kidneys and
causes edema and fatigue. Natrum Mur balances the important
electrolyte of sodium and correctly distributes the mineral
sodium chloride in the body. If you suffer from lack of
energy, depression, and/or excess sensitivity look to Natrum
Mur.
Other benefits of Natrum Mur include coughs, skin
problems, high blood pressure, and slow digestion with
heartburn. Natrum Mur is used for a headache that begins at
the root of the nose and extends to the forehead and is
associated with nausea.

25% of the Calcarea Carbonia and Silicea remedies, amazingly
we have already been able to tell that my upper abdominal
muscle is tighter. I have always had a weak abdomen as I had
two major surgeries prior to my tenth birthday.(incisional
hernia) My wife and I can tell a difference so we're looking
forward to seeing even more improvement. Mike"
