Questions About Homeopathic Remedies, Especially Cell SaltsPosted By Denise (California) on 03/13/2022
Questions...
1. I have been taking 6 individual cell salt remedies 4 times a day, all of them are 6x. I'm taking nat mur, nat phos, nat sulph, calc sulph, mag phos, and silica. I'm also taking a combined remedy called Candid-y for candida that was (maybe still is) in my throat (I had visible thrush, no longer visible to me but my husband can see it). The candida remedy seems to help the sinuses.
It's kind of a lot to do to get the pellets for all of those doses. Do you think it would be just as good to use the combination remedy (bioplasma) that includes all of them?
2. Why doesn't everyone just use bioplasma?
3. How much should I take of each one, or of the bioplasma? One homeopath told me that it doesn't matter how much you take, she said 1 pellet or 6 is a complete dose.
4. How long should I wait before and after food and brushing teeth? Before/after water?
Thank you very much!

When I don't know what a person needs in terms of cell salts, I would use Bioplasma initially and see if a symptom improves. Based on what symptom improves, then I would apply the specific cell salt that would likely have improved that symptom. Sometimes there is no apparent improvement and then I consider the symptoms and apply cell salts that are likely to improve those symptoms one at a time.
With cell salts, they usually recommend 4 pellets at a time, but you can experiment with less as some people can get the desired effect with less.
I generally don't take anything 15 minutes before to 15 minutes after taking the pellets.
So apparently you are trying to treat candida. If the homeopath that you are seeing does not get the desired result you are looking for, you might consider this :

Please keep us updated on how you do!

Dear Art, thank you for the information, I appreciate it! I actually do Not think candida is my biggest problem, although it may be contributing to the other symptoms, which are ...Gastritis and reflux, severe chronic Pain in soles of feet and butt, severe sleep Apnea, Asthma, constipation, chronic sinus congestion. I'm considering concentrating on the burning stomach (and reflux that started when I stopped using Omeprazole), using nat mur and nat phos. What do you think?
Thank you, Denise
P.s. I currently do not have a homeopath. Thank you for the link.

That's quite a list of health issues, Denise!I think homeopathy is useful for many health issues, but trying to get back to normal stomach acid levels might be a bit more effective by using Betaine HCL.
I think dealing with the sleep apnea as soon as possible is important because if you are constantly sleep deprived, your overall health will suffer and healing will be difficult at best. A C-pap machine should help tremendously and give you restful sleep to help allow your body to start healing.
There are homeopathic remedies for sleep apnea, but a C-pap usually works quickly. The homeopathic remedies are less expensive, but there can be trial and error before you find what works for you.
You need to get plenty of oxygen to help the healing process and that is difficult to do if you have chronic sinus congestion. For that, XLEAR Nasal Spray should be useful :
It has saline, grapefruit seed extract and xylitol. The combination breaks down biofilms that can develop in long standing sinus issues and the GSE is a very potent antifungal and antimicrobial. Btw, GERD can also contribute to sinus issues like sinusitis.
For GERD, it sounds counterintuitive, but sometimes Betaine HCL can help by adding more acid to the stomach. There are many videos on youtube that describe how to use Betaine HCL for GERD. GERD can contribute to some of your other health issues. Having enough acid in your stomach is important because it can kill pathogenic bacteria as well as break down protein in the foods you eat.
Please note that some manufacturers of Betaine refer to their product as Betaine HCI and some refer to it as Betaine HCL, but these are both the same Betaine Hydrochloride.
Here is one video by Dr. Berg that explains what it does :
A bit of warning on his video. He is recommending a very high dose and I have seen that high of a dose cause problems. There are different strengths of Betaine HCL and he should have mentioned starting with the lower dose Betaine HCL and he didn't. I recommend that you watch at least 5 different videos on using Betaine HCL as a treatment for GERD. Here is a typical person and how they used the Betaine HCL in combination with apple cider vinegar tablets to treat their GERD effectively :
Here is a link to different Betaine HCL supplements on Amazon and if you look at the labels, you will see that some are stronger than others :
Regarding the foot pain, do you have an actual diagnosis? Foot pain at the soles of the feet can have multiple causes such as neuropathy, plantar fasciitis or bone spurs as three very common causes. There are other causes, but a diagnosis would be needed to have an idea of the best ways to try and relieve the pain.
Regarding the asthma, GERD is known to be a trigger, so getting the GERD taken care of seems like a good starting point.
Regarding constipation, long-term GERD can cause it also.
I hope this helps!

Hello Denise of California, I think I am replying to a later post of yours?My Homeopath says the following in relation to your inquiry:- "I support Cell salts but like the Homeopathic formulation best, no known side effects.
I suggest stopping taking all medication EXCEPT essential prescription medications.
Then I suggest taking Homeopathic combination of 12 Cell/Tissue Salts for 6 weeks and monitor any changes in the symptoms listed.
Homeopathic Cell Salts work very well and I would anticipate some changes. Vitamin deficiencies may all improve. Then reassess". Well there you have it - monitor your symptoms and let us know how you get on (Me). Cheers from Down Under where the weather is getting cooler at last.

Michael, thank you so much! It seems that you checked with your homeopath on my behalf...how very kind of you!! I'm not sure what your homeopath means by "liking the homeopathic formulation best"...maybe a stronger dose? I also received another thoughtful reply. Based on the earlier reply and the fact that when I take six of the cell salts (that look like they may be helpful for my symptoms) I do have some improvement with stomach pain, I was planning to use 2 of the cell salts to first work on digestion. Now, with your reply, I'm not certain which direction I'll go in, but I think either will probably help...will let it ponder a bit... Either way, I will let you know how things go. I am touched by the kind replies!Denise
