Biochemic cell salts

From Wikipedia, for those of us who do not know

Biochemic cell salts aka Tissue Salts or Cell Salts are alternative remedies based on inorganic salts elaborated by Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler (1821–1898). Although moderately diluted (3X-6X), they are not classed as homeopathic, because they are not purported to act according to the "like cures like" principle of homeopathy.[1] Nonetheless, they are commonly advocated by people who also advocate similar alternative medicine remedies, including homeopathy.

These days, tissue salts are usually prepared as tablets, made up with lactose powder in a manner similar to homeopathic products: Each inorganic salt is ground (triturated) with lactose powder in a ratio of 1:9, and this mixture is then ground with fresh lactose, again in a 1:9 ratio. This process is repeated either three or six times, yielding a 1 000 000 to 1 dilution or 1000:1 dilution.

Because of this dilution, tissue salts are generally prescribed at dosages that are too low to have any detectable effect on the levels of the minerals and electrolytes involved.[citation needed] No peer reviewed scientific clinical trials have been conducted on tissue salts, and they are less well known to the public than some other complementary therapies.[4]

The twelve salts described by Schüßler, together with the abbreviated names under which they are sold, are:

* Calcium fluoride (calc fluor)

* Calcium phosphate (calc phos)

* Calcium sulfate (calc sulph)

* Potassium chloride (kali mur)

* Potassium phosphate (kali phos)

* Potassium sulfate (kali sulph)

* Sodium phosphate (nat phos)

* Sodium sulfate (nat sulph)

* Sodium chloride (nat mur)

* Ferric pyrophosphate (ferrum phos)

* Magnesium phosphate (mag phos)

* Silicon dioxide (silicea)

The combination of all 12 salts in one formula commonly called by its non-trade name Bioplasma. Often the five phosphates are combined into a compound remedy at a 3X potency called "Biochemic Phosphates". The popular homeopathic combination remedy Hylands Calms Forte, is prepared in a base of biochemic phosphates, in contrast to the regular strength Calms which is prepared in USP Lactose.
