Biochemistry is science, not experimentalism.  There is no more mystery or miracle about it than about all natural laws.

A half-century after Dr. Hahnemann’s revolutionary discoveries in homeopathy, Wilhelm H. Schuessler was practicing homeopathic medicine in Germany.  Dr. Schuessler was influenced by the pioneering work of Dr. Rudolph Virchow, the father of modern pathology.  Dr. Virchow theorized that the disturbances thought of as diseases are actually signs of change in cell metabolism. Based on this idea, Dr. Schuessler became further convinced that the active ingredients in the most successful homeopathic remedies were inorganic.  His research led him to conclude that when the human cell is reduced to ashes, there are only twelve minerals left.  Taking the homeopathic theory into account, Dr. Schuessler reasoned that a lack of these minerals in a living organism will keep organic materials from entering the cells, which in turn prohibits the cells from performing their natural functions.

Facial Diagnosis of Cell Salt Deficiencies:

It is now known that cell salts are the vital portion of the body – the workers, the builders – and that water and organic substances are simply inert matter used by these salts in building the cells.  Should a deficiency occur in one or more of these twelve workers, some abnormal condition arises commonly referred to as “disease.”

Cell salts are necessary when the cells are lacking in certain nutrients, creating a cellular imbalance.  In a very real sense, when you take a cell salt remedy, you are supplying a micro-nutrient that enables your body to rebuild itself on the cellular level.

Cell salts are completely safe and can be taken by anyone under any condition.  Even if your body has no need of a particular cell salt you may be taking, no damage will be done.  They are also an excellent preventive therapy to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Northland Holistic Health can help you determine which cell salts are best for you.

“The body is a self-curing mechanism and it will maintain its efficiency provided it has a normal supply of all those elements particular to its own substance.”
