Tell me about cell salts. - Page 4

It looks like it would be better go w/ those single bottles of 500 as it would go through that one pretty fast. As you take 3-4 , 4x a day, that would mean you would go through them pretty fast.

[Panserbjorne]

Absolutely. The kit allows you to a. have them with you in your bag and b. explore them. If you were *treating* then you'd want far more! I'd go for the 500 absolutely.

Chlobo-yes. I give bioplasma to my dh daily but he also gets the biochemic phosphates and calc fluor to address his particular issues.

[crunchy_mama]

alright, I am going to order the 1000 of the calc/flour, calc/phos and silica

Speaking of your DH's Mine is an athlete so I'm wondering what would be great for him to take. He needs to give his body some extra TLC and since the cell salts are so easy to take I think he would ACTAULLY take them Could you recommend a few??? And btw I truly appreciate your advice

[Panserbjorne]

I'd probably want bioplasma (repair and maintenance) calc fluor (overwrought and strained connective tissue) ferrum phos (pulled muscles) and mag phos (muscle spasms.)

I'd also have arnica, ruta, rhus tox and bryonia on hand!

The kali sulph works wonders for my daughter's eczema

I wonder if it would have the same benefit for my son's cradle cap. Or do you know of something better?

[Koalamom]

So let me get this dosage thing right. With homeopathy, you can give only one pellet or 10 pellets at a time and it is still one dose. With cell salts can you do the same? And lets say you are low on cell salts. Can I do a water administration?

So, keep in mind that im a newbie. We take 4 cell salts for adults and two cell salts for kids, but I'm pretty relaxed. If more pours out, well so be it.

I asked Panser the question of water administration as a way to reduce lactose and she said that cell salts don't work that way. You need to take the full amount.

So I have been taking it wrong I guess. We have been just taking one pellet at a time. Still with that my dd's teeth have been healing. Probably enough for her, but not enough for me. It would explain why my cavities are not healing yet.

[Panserbjorne]

Well, I should clarify...you CAN give them in water (and I often do....for dh I just pour them in his kleen kanteen) but the amount still matters. So for dh I still put his daily requirement in and just know he'll take the full day to drink it. His instructions are to sip throughout they day and if he needs to chug water for thirst quenching purposes to use a different bottle.

They are nutritional-NOT energetic. As such the number you take does matter, as it would for any supplement. And (to make it more confusing) it is kind of like homeopathy in that frequency also matters-though many supplements are like that too. Vitamin C for instance. You'd do better taking 1 gram 5 times a day than 5 grams once. Same with the salts. You'd do better taking 4 tablets 4 times per day than 12 tablets at one go.

For cradle cap I'd probably also do calc sulph cell salts but I'd certainly do biotin too. Not a cell salt, but very helpful in cases of cradle cap and yeast overgrowth! This is probably one of the more useful and widely applicable things I was taught.

We have had huge success with biotin for cradle crap and yeast rashes

Great info, thanks! My son is only 4 1/2 mos old, so should I be the one to take biotin to pass via breastmilk? Or can biotin be rubbed onto his scalp?

(OP -- sorry for the thread hijack!)

I do not believe that rubbing biotin on his scalp will help. Mama should take biotin. I don't know how much passes through breastmilk, or how much you should be taking it. We only started doing it when my son was 3.5.

[mom61508]

Can't infants take cell salts though?

[Panserbjorne]

they sure can!

I would probably take biotin myself rather than give it to a 4.5 month old directly. It can be done, but I'm more in the camp of holding off on supplements for a breastfed baby until food is introduced if possible. I'd just make sure you are taking therapeutic dosages as opposed to what is found in most multis.

[Koalamom]

Just a note, that if you do add in biotin, it does destroy candida, and sure does help with cradle cap, but by destroying candida, it displaces mercury or other metals. So if you do have issues with metals or mercury fillings, then I would take biotin really low, or just stay away from it. My son had terrible cradle cap, so bad he had to wear a hat in public. I tried biotin for him and it was detoxing me too much through the breastmilk that he was not only getting biotin, but all my crap the candida was stiring up. We later cut dairy out and his cradle cap is 100% gone.

Thanks for all this info. I am so appreciative of everyone who posts on MDC for enriching my knowledge base so profoundly! Really changes lives, I think.

I have a baby who has painful teething -- my last didn't, but this one does. He sleeps really poorly when teething, and that of course means that I sleep poorly. I have adrenal issues, so that's a big deal for me. I get physically ill, like throwing up etc, when I'm too tired.

I had a few weeks of a break when his bottom teeth came in, but now he's working on the next set, and I a little bit of crazy. Seems like Calc phos might help, is that right?

He also has a bit of cradle cap and lines/ridges on his fingernails. They grow great, but the ridges are odd. From researching, it seems like both of those could be connected to biotin -- is that right? I've been scared to supp it because of the detox issues, but I don't have many metal issues so maybe I should just go for it?

Wow we are living the same lives!!! DD is 20 months so she has most of her teeth in but is working on molars and she was up 5 times before midnight!!! I too have adrenal fatigue so it makes it sooooo I totally understand where you're coming from. She also has mild ridges but her nails grow great. Does your LOs toe nails grow well? Just curious because DDs dont. Her hair grows slow too and she had bad cradle cap but has gotten better as she has gotten older. anyway I thought it feels good to relate

If you are starting out, I think that the biochemic handbook that is linked a few pages up is amazing. I got a copy for a few buck the other day and so worth it. It has so much information. I would check out several other cals besides the calc phos.
I have started giving the calc phos to my 6 month old son 2x a day and also the bioplasma. I have been taking both too hoping it will go through the breastmilk (not sure if it does), and what a difference it makes. He has been so cranky lately, and just after stating up with these, he sleeps so well. I was worried at first since he is suddenly sleeping long stretches. But it is just that he is so relaxed and content from the cell salts. They are my new best friend.
