Tell me about cell salts.

[Cascadian]

I've seen these around - does anyone take them, and why?

TIA!

[Panserbjorne]

all the time. What would you like to know? They are a significant part of my practice as well. I find them to be invaluable.

[mom61508]

Please expand!

Which ones do you use? And what kind of effect in your life? Do you give them to your kids?

[Panserbjorne]

I use all of them, some more than others. Oh my goodness, of course I give them to my kids! I think everyone should. They are so easy to use and just truly wonderful tools. In terms of effect....they do exactly what they are meant to. If they have colds they stop them. If they I have a headache, they nip them in the bud. They are excellent post surgery or chemo to build people back up. I have women take them post birth as well as during pregnancy. I literally have every single pregnant woman I know or see on them. They lay the groundwork for the body to access nutrients. They help with dentition, whether it's painful or faulty. They are magnificent for injuries, stress, chronic illness...the list goes on.

I think that they are a perfect way to start getting into self care. They are easy to learn, easy to use and the results are clear. They really help build confidence.

Can you recommend a beginner book?

[Panserbjorne]

the two easiest ones (IMO) are the Biochemic Handbook which is generally available at www.minimum.com and Homeopathic Cell Salt Remedies by Lennon and Rolfe. Both easy to read and understand.

Thanks to Panserbjørnes advice, we started using cell salts several months ago when my 2 yr old dd's enamel was showing decay. I have given it to her everyday since then, and her teeth are just about healed. The one top tooth is completely healed and the lower one that was worse to begin with is almost better, more like glossed over and scarred from the decay. What would I do without cell salts.

I still would like to learn more and use them for myself.

What is the best place to buy a kit of all the cell salts?

[Panserbjorne]

If you don't mind the lactose pellets I like www.1800homeopathy.com I think if you order all 12 (plus I always recommend the bioplasma as well which is a combo of all 12) you get free shipping. They also sell a kit of all 12 for around $50 but there aren't nearly as many doses in it. For about $8 you get 500 tablets if you go for the full sizes and they come in glass, which I love.

If you need sucrose or liquid it's a bit trickier....but there are sources. I'll post a few resources when I get back home! Seroyal does a great job and they are sucrose tablets-not terribly easy to find for most though. I order from Best Made and they are sucrose as well. However I still do love the lactose at times! They dissolve very quickly and kids adore them.

That is fantastic! Isn't it amazing how well they work? And it's not like it's some strange herbal product. They are just nutrients your body needs anyway in minute doses. So cool.

Isn't that great!!!! Which ones did you use? You planned on talking more about that in another thread but I don't think you did???Maybe I missed it tho.

I meant to, but I am scatter brained sometimes, and forget.

I used Calc Phos 6x everyday and some days I gave Calc Flur 6x. These I determined by pendulum testing (like muscle testing).

[Koalamom]

Another story of cell salts is when I was pregnant with my dd and she was due in a few weeks. My midwives had my iron count tested and I was extremely anemic. So anemic that I was not allowed to have a homebirth if it did not go up. Iron is one of those things you can't rush and there would have been no way to get it up fast enough. With lots of prayer, and cell salt Ferrum Phos 6x, several doses a day, and with my dd arriving 3+weeks late, I got my iron up very well and was able to have a homebirth.

And to add, I have given her silica 30c a few times when she was teething heavy. I gave that potency since I didn't have a 6x around, but it still worked. If it were for longer term dosage, I would have gotten a 6x of it.

[Cascadian]

Another newbie question: When dosing kids, do you use them as remedies for issues (teething, headache) and/or every day, like a vitamin?

I'm assuming that there's no issue around overdosing...I know that the Bioplasma by Hylands is sold here, I might pick it up.

Thank you thank you !

Wow great...thank you. I too am SO scatter brained I was going to PM you but didn't want to bug ya And I'm sure wlong with cell salts you did a lot of dietary things to help her teeth as well?

[Cascadian]

Just wanna say that I ran out on the way to ps pickup and bought Hyland's Bio-XII with all 12 cell salts that they produce, a 1000 tab bottle. The owner said he'd been giving his son cell salts since he was 3 mos old, like a vitamin, daily. Also said his teeth came in really early, maybe because of it.

I think it's called Bioplasma in the US.

[Panserbjorne]

You certainly can give them that way-but it's a different schedule than if you are using it for acutes. You do want to take breaks. And, you want to be sure you are using cell salts and not just a remedy at 6X.

[FireWithin]

We only have a few different salts right now, but plan on buying a full set very soon.

Yesterday, I noticed I needed to cut my youngest son's nails. Now that doesn't seem like a big deal, but this is the first time I needed to cut his nails in years.
In another thread someone asked what we have been doing.
I have been a bit more consistent about supplements and I have been pendulum testing which ones are best at the moment.
I also have been regularly giving my boys the cell salts (calc fluor, calc phos, silica). I think this was a major determiner for nail growth. I think it helps them utilize the nutrients that I am giving them.
