Herb Corner Issue 17

Here are the next four cell salts and a suggestion for prevention of the swine flu.

Calcium Phosphate (Calc Phos) helps with calcium metabolism. When the metabolism is disrupted it can cause osteoporosis or bone spurs. It can be an aid in teeth and digestive problems, but works mainly with bone tissue. Other uses for Calc Phos include: Eczema, Gout, Infections, Smoking, and Worms.

Potassium Sluphate (Kali Sulf) is specific for the third stage or inflammation. This is the stage where infection (pus) or boils appear. When there is a lack of this cell salt there are usually yellow discharges. It is recommended for high fevers, when the body is working to get the bacteria to multiply faster to eat the toxic substances that are making the body sick. (The are the garbage men, let them take out the trash. Don't stop them from doing there job.) However, the main funtion for Kali Sulf is the making and distributing of oil. Other things it can be used for are: Age spots, Arthritis, Deafness, Scarlet Fever, Vitiligo, and Wandering Pains.

Sodium Chloride (Nat Mur) commonly known as table salt. However, the homeopathic works to the benefit of the body instead of creating problems as regular table salt will. This is due to the diluting and shaking to make it a 6X potency. It is the most used cell salt for digestion, arthritis, and water distribution. It is the key to dry mucus membranes or excessivly watery discharges. Usually, the person who needs this cell salt is experiencing grief and/or self isolation. Some other uses include: Canker sores, Depression, Heart Palpitations, Loss of taste, Hang nails, and parasites.

Silicea (Silica) is nicknamed "The Surgeon." This is because of its ability to help the body rid itself of foreign objects. This cell salt is also responsible for connective tissue strength. It can aid in dissolving scar tissue. Someone who needs Silica is usually timid and the hands and feet are continuously cold. Other uses for Silica are: Boils, Sleepwalking, Cysts, Hip/joint disease, Smelly feet, and shyness.

When it comes to the swine flu, garlic is the herb to use. The dose is 16 cloves of fresh garlic a day if infected or 4 cloves a day as a preventative measure. This may sound simplistic, but it works.

If you want a readymade product, there is no better remedy than Dr. Christopher's Anti-Plague Formula (now called Super Immune Garlic Formula). If infected I would suggest consuming a 4 oz bottle per day until all symptoms have terminated. The dosage on the label would be enough to work as a preventative.
