Hey everyone. Merry Christmas! Bri and I are going to discuss the 12 days of cell salts and hopefully help you get at least a basic knowledge of cell salts, when you can use them, and how you could use them. We are going to release one new episode with a new cell salt each day at 12 o'clock ET, beginning December 12, tomorrow, through December 23. Today, I'm just going to do an introduction into cell salts and the cell salt combination. A lot of people know that as Bioplasma, but I'll get to that in a minute. First of all, all cell salts are homeopathic remedies. A lot of people think of them as minerals or supplements, and a lot of people think of them as different than homeopathy. They are homeopathy. They are homeopathic remedies. Dr. Schuessler was a homeopath who went into nutrition, which is where he developed the cell salts. So he was a homeopath who decided he wanted to get into nutrition, which is kind of like me, right? My whole thing is homeopathy and whole foods. I don't have a nutrition degree or anything, but I think there's food and there's homeopathy, and that's what we need to be using for our medicine. When you're using cell salts, we are actually addressing cell nutrition. Isn't that cool? Usually, we use the cell salts in low potencies like 3x 6x, or 12x, but they can be used in any potency - 30s, 200s, 1M, whatever. You can use cell salts in any potency. Dr. Schuessler's reason for prescribing was to supplement the organism with the mineral that was needed. That is probably why people believe or think that cell salts are supplements. They're really not, and we're going to go into these and help you understand why they're not supplements, but what they can do in the body.

I've heard people get mixed up and think that using a remedy in the 6x potency is the "cell salt potency," like it that potency is what makes it a cell salt rather than recognizing that the remedy itself is a cell salt at any potency level. No other remedies are cell salts.

Melissa Crenshaw  3:45  
That's right. I'll hear people say that if you use other remedies, like Sepia for instance, in a 6x that it's a sell salt potency. Very good point. 

Symptoms of mineral deficiencies are constipation, diarrhea, bloating, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, weakness or fatigue, muscle cramps, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, poor concentration, dark, tarry stools, burping, and acid reflux. Those are just some of the reasons why you might need cell salts in your life. Cell salts tend to be used more for physical complaints. There are some mental things that  cell salts can do and you'll see some of that sprinkled through here in these when we do these 12 days of cell salts, but generally speaking, physical complaints is what we use to cell salts for. Dr. Schuessler arrived at 12 tissue salts because they are the minerals that remain in the cremated human body. There are three calciums - Calc fluor, Calc phos, and calc sulph. There are three kalis - Kali mur, Kali phos, and Kali sulph. Then there are three natrums, which are Nat mur, Nat phos, and Nat Sulph. There's one magnesium, which is Mag phos. It's a magnesium phosphate. There's one ferrum, which is Ferrum phosphate, and then there's Silica. Those are the 12 cell salts!

So really, our bodies are very nutritious for the earth. I mean, that sounds really weird to say, but we take these and I've heard you say they're even good for plants and stuff. And they're what's left over when the body is cremated?! That is very weird, and very cool!

Melissa Crenshaw  6:01  
That's right! I love it. Cell salts are amazing, amazing, powerful little remedies. We have a need to have a balance between the electrolytes - the sodiums and the potassiums, that natrums, and the kalis. We also need the balance between magnesium and calcium, right? A lot of people know that. We also require iron, which is the Ferrum phos, and we need Silica is in every cell in our body. Each remedy is a fundamental basic remedy, and we can group them all together.

Bri Hurlburt  6:44  
Wow, this is so cool. There is also a cell salts protocol for pregnancy, which makes sense because it changes as the baby is developing for what the needs are for the baby. This is all connected.

Melissa Crenshaw  7:01  
Yes! That pregnancy program using cell salts is not only good for the baby, but it's good for the mama. There are so many things happening in the mom while she's making this baby with her body, and then yes, it's good for the baby's development. Potassium delivers sodium, and we need the potassiums in order to be balanced. It maintains blood pressure and acid base balance. Sodium is the most important electrolyte and an essential ion. It maintains fluid balance in the body and influences the blood pressure. It helps the transmission of nerve signals, helps the nervous system fire, and it's very important for osmorregulation, which means one element goes out of the cell, another element comes into the cell. When you think about cellular health, cellular generation, without healthy cells, we have tons of disease. This balance between the potassiums and the sodiums and all of these different things is super important for osmoregulation. The sodium also helps muscles contract which is important for the digestive system to function regularly because the digestive system is one big muscle. If you ever watch a video on how the stomach works, it's really gross, and it's like this muscle contracting. It's very cool. Very, very cool. Praise the Lord, right? He made our bodies to do these things!

Low levels of sodium can lead to nausea, vomiting, headache, brain fog, low energy, muscle weakness and spasms, muscle cramps, irritability, and restlessness. Low levels of potassium can lead to constipation, irregular heartbeat, fatigue and muscle cramps. This is why we need these balances. The cell salts can bring balance - they bring homeostasis to the body when there's a mineral deficiency. One way to do this is the combination of all 12. Most people know it as Bioplasma because Hylands makes the cell salt combination called Bioplasma, but this is their name brand. If you order it from somewhere else like OHM, it's just the cell salt combination. OHM makes them in the sucrose pellets and Hylands makes them in the lactose pellets. Itoesn't matter what they're on, they work the same. Let me tell you about the combo of 12 and then we will get into the other cell salts over the next 12 days. 

Your 12 cell salts combination is great. You can think of it as a homeopathic vitamin. It's not a vitamin, it's not a supplement, but kind of like we think of Hepar sulph as our homeopathic antibiotic, we think of Calendula as our homeopathic antiseptic, the combo of 12 cell salts can be thought of as our homeopathic vitamin. It helps us to absorb minerals. Let's say that you are putting minerals in your water or in your food or you're taking minerals in your mouth every day. If your body can't absorb them or assimilate them, homeopathy can fix that. These can fix the problem of you having a malabsorption or not being able to assimilate those minerals. You can apply Bioplasma topically to remineralize the teeth. I didn't know that until I did some research on these. We would have added it to our dental podcast that we just released the week we're recording this! You can crush the the 12 cell salt combination, the Bipplasma, and use it like your tooth powder. I use the Uncle Harry's toothpowder, and you can do the same thing with the Bioplasma to remineralize your teeth. I think that's pretty awesome. Who doesn't want to brush their teeth with homeopathy?

Bri Hurlburt  12:29  
Right. You are the ultimate homeopathy user when you brush your teeth with Bioplasma!

Melissa Crenshaw  12:39  
You can give it to your plants, animals, family, you can put it in water, you can drink it daily. When I decide I want to take some Bioplasma, I give it to myself and I go around to every family member and every animal and every plant and I give to everybody. I put in the watering can and I go and water all my plants. I give it to the chickens - I put it in their water. Everybody can take it! Bioplasma is a cell stimulant. It's great for before and after exercise or physical activity. It's great for cellular fitness, cell function, and it helps you to balance minerals. I hope this was helpful. I hope that you have enjoyed our introduction. We are excited! We're gonna see for the next 12 days at 12 o'clock every single day, a brand new remedy! Come back and join us. We'll see you tomorrow.
