Introduction
After about fourteen years in practice, treating innumerable disease
problems, it became apparent to me that we tend to treat people
with homoeopathic medicines only or on the other hand with mineral
therapy in its many different forms.
When confronted by a diseased person, the approach adapted by
practitioners, therapists or researchers may vary: a biochemist
would refer to Biochemistry while a pathologist would check the
Electrolyte balance in the body. We all know that this particular
approach has saved many lives. The many operations where
patients come out of the theatre with a drip that corrects levels of
one or more electrolyte, such as Potassium chloride.
There are many minerals freely available in various dosage forms, but
mostly as tablets. Information on the symptoms of a lack of minerals
has been generally known for many decades. There seems to be a
general confusion, however, regarding dosage and the absorption
potential of the mineral tablets.
The problem apparently lies in the fact that minerals are inorganic,
which means that they are not easily absorbed by the body. We
should convert the mineral into a colloidal, or absorbable form. In
Naturopathy and Homoeopathy the majority of medicines, especially
in tablet or pillule form, are normally made up of an original colloidal
preparation and thereafter potentised.
The Schussler approach, used by Naturopaths and Homoeopaths is
an example of Mineral Therapy. Tissue salts refers to the
electrolytes present in the body and the Schussler approach apply
these minerals in homoeopathic strengths.
In mineral therapy, experience has taught me that to potentise all
minerals seems to work well in certain patients only up to a point.
In the case of Kali muiriaticum, for instance, it did not seem to fully
replace the missing element physiologically.
Here I would like to refer to the work that has been done by well-
known scientists on Magnesium and Potassium deficiency. Prof.
Peny Leary from Natal University, Prof. WJ Serfontein and Sir Jason
Winters.
These scientists have shown astonishing results regarding mineral
deficiencies in the soil and drinking water and therefore in the foods
consumed in many countries. In his opening address when he was
knighted, Sir Jason Winters said: "Today we suffer from Potassium
starvation".
In the early years of this century Dr Forbes Ross proved that
Potassium was required daily because of its well-known antiseptic
properties. In those days, and for decades afterwards, it was almost
standard procedure to use Potassium citrate in distilled water.
Pharmacists will remember it by the name Mist pot cit. Even up to
the late 1960's Mist pot cit used to be an almost standard part of a
prescription for kidney and bladder problems. However, it could not
satisfactorily replace deficiencies in the body or correct blood levels
and seemed to have been mainly used "as a cleanser and to
stabilise the pH of the urine".
When discussing the ten to twelve major minerals, it will become clear
why I call this manual the application of Electroloids. Authors such
as Dr Lesley Fisher, explain what minerals do in the human body. I
have high respect for all Fishers work but note that the thinking at
that time seemed to have been centred around minerals in their
single form.
This approach works well, only up to a point. A Magnesium deficiency,
for example, could present itself in many different forms. It is
important to remember that Magnesium is needed as a catalyst to
control the perfect balance of Sodium, Potassium and Calcium in
the body and especially in the heart muscle.
Scientists, such as Serfontein, confirmed that the body needs
Magnesium to help with absorption of the co-enzymes. This
discovery was a major break-through in maintaining the health and
well-being of our population. You will now see why I refer to using
the Electroloids in day-to-day practice. Their catalytic properties
reminds me of the lady who tried to bake a cake with eggs, butter
and flour, but forgot the baking powder. It was a flat cake even
though all the other ingredients were present. In otherwords, when
she baked that cake the different ingredients were in an imbalance.
This manual is not intended to repeat or copy what scientists have
already written and published. It is rather meant to guide the reader
into thinking a little further than the mere supplementation of
apparently deficient minerals.
I shall therefore discuss each Electroloid separately due to its
completely absorbable dosage in mineral deficiency problems.
When we discuss the different Potassiums you will see that it would
certainly work to supply the patient with Potassium for, for example,
palpitations if this is clearly indicated. It could, however, work
decidedly better if one also considers the catalytic absorption
properties of the co-enzymes and Magnesium. In other words one
should know all the application of the minerals.
When administered to the patient, minerals should be in an
absorbable form. Electroloids is advantageous because the
supplementation of a specific mineral is achieved in full
physiological dose in a dosage form well tolerated by the body. The
correction of a patient's deficiency problems should be achieved
thus with Electroloids.
I attribute the success of my own practice to the fact that the patient is
invariably treated as a whole. The correct homoeopathic medicines
are supported by the correct Electroloids, used in balance linked to
the necessary vitamins and co-enzymes. Patients should also
always be guided as far as correct diet is concerned.
When each mineral is discussed individually, it will be noted that it is
imperative that the practitioner should know his patient, as well as
the minerals. No matter what system of diagnosis is used, whether
based on Iridology, case history, pathological blood tests or X-rays,
the final decision still rests with the practitioner. He should decide
what Las to be replaced in the sick body to refurbish it with a vital
fighting force to assist the patient "to grow out of" the problem.
For instance, any practitioner who treats a patient who suffers from a
spastic colon with Calc phos only is sure to have come-backs,
because that colon is definitely going to be more spastic unless a
very gentle laxative is also prescribed. In loose stools the binding
properties of Calc phos are well known, however, should Calc phos
be prescribed on its own because the major part of the patient's
profile, fits Calc phos, homoeopathically speaking, it could have dire
results.
It thus becomes most important to realise the need to study the
application of the Electroloids. Mineral deficiency is the common
denominator in most of the illnesses occurring today.
The application of the electroloid approach has given me immense
pleasure and satisfaction. This system can assist with idiopathic
patients, psychosomatic disorders and unknown aetiological
diseases. The Electroloid approach is safe since one cannot harm
the patient and no drugs are used.
 The Potassium Salts
The following three will be discussed:
Potassium chloride. Potassium phosphate and Potassium sulphate.
Potassium Chloride
Physiological Application
Potassium chloride is probably the most important Potassium salt
found in the human body because of the fact that it seems to link
with protein to build new connective tissue wherever necessary.
Pathological Application
A deficiency of Potassium chloride will lead to the secretion of copious
thick whitish mucus. This deficiency may be seen in patients who
are prone to glandular problems, suffer from changes in the blood
viscosity which may then lead to clotting. In the early days
homoeopaths were known to use Kali Muir (Tissue Salt) to
counteract clotting.
When to use
Head: Nauseous headaches
Eyes: Scratchy, as if there is sand in the eyes with occasional white
discharge.
Ears: Eustachian catarrh (invariably caused by a post-nasal drip or
sinus drip) with eventual infection.
Mouth: Cold sores, Aphthous ulcers
Tongue: Very pale often with a whitish coating and dry.
Throat: Throat warts, enlarged tonsils with pain, swollen Parotid
glands, mumps.
Stomach: Windy, bloated, tender.
Abdomen & Colon: Sluggish colon, often flatulence, may be tender,
but not really tender. Nausea, diarrhea, only after fatty food. Very
often more of a tendency towards constipation.
Urinary tract: Pain, inflammation, cystitis, pyelonephritis, occasionally
puss in the urine or proteinuria.
Female: Sterility, vaginitis, white discharge, glandular tenderness,
mastitis, ovarian cysts and fibro-adenosis.
Male: Glandular tenderness.
Respiratory: Loose rattling cough, occasional wheezing, of great help
in bronchitis.
Circulation: Blood pressure often high, clotting may occur.
Nerves: After prolonged suppression of the nervous system by drugs.
Usually tenderness of the lining of the cerebellum often associated
with epilepsy, especially in children who tend to develop fever very
easily or after a previous history of sunstroke or excessive exposure
to sun and heat. An example is complaints of nausea and fever and
fever-like fits after school athletics on the hottest day in summer.
Skin: Warts, people who tend to bruise easily, eczema, boils,
carbuncles, abscesses, acne. Lupus Erythema.
Contra Indications: Patients, especially the elderly, with tongue almost
purplish red, do not prescribe Potassium chloride. There will be too
rapid a change in blood viscosity. Never supply Potassium chloride
to a third person to give to someone else if you have not had a look
at the patient.
Dosage
Adults: 400 mg per day in divided doses.
Children: 200 mg in divided doses.
Potassium chloride patients always feel better when using cold
applications. They feel aggravated and terrible after rich food and
they are definitely worse at the seaside.
Potassium Phosphate
Physiological Application
Potassium phosphate is found in all body fluids. It is of vital
importance and can be likened to fuel for the brain, nervous system
and muscles (including the heart muscle). It is very important in the
blood and stomach.
Pathological Application
A Potassium phosphate deficiency will lead to weaker muscular
tissue. Even the heart muscle can weaken, producing a weak
irregular pulse with reduced contractility and often fibrillation.
Whenever any Potassium (especially phosphate) becomes
deficient, a patient's Magnesium phosphate will automatically be
extremely low.
The causes for a loss of any one of the three body Potassiums are:
vomiting/ sweating, diuretic pills, cortisone, diarrhoea, fever and an
excessive use of table salt (Sodium chloride). The kidneys will
normally retain the salt and Potassium will be lost in the urine.
When to use
Mind: Stressful type of person who easily complains of nervousness
without real cause and then becomes depressed. Has poor memory,
lack of concentration, lack of drive. Sensitive to noise, tearful. Exam
stress, hypoglycaemia, hypo- and or hypertension. Hyperactivity in
children.
Head: Dizzy when they get up suddenly. Occipital headaches.
Empty feeling in the tummy.
Eyes: Staring, as if they are in a trance or their eyelids droop, as
if they are not with you.
Ears: Cannot stand noise. Buzzing or ringing in the ears.
Meniere's syndrome.
Nose: Occasionally thick yellow discharge.
Face: Pale or glowing red.
Mouth: Dry, often with offensive breath.
Tongue: Very dry in the mornings. A brown, mustard-like colour
while edges are red and sore. Dissimilar to Potassium chloride
deficiency where entire coating of the tongue becomes sore and
whitish.
Throat: Dry, salty, mucus, hoarseness.
Stomach: Very thirsty, sometimes complaining of nervousness in the
pit of the tummy, often hungry even after eating. The compulsive
eater, do not forget the tendency to hypoglycaemia (of great help in
pancreatitis).
Abdomen & Colon: Distended with winds, pain. Stools can vary: either
loose, aftershock with a very bad odour or constipation sets in with
dark brownish stools.
Female: Amenorrhoea. Irregular menstruation. Often lack of sexual
desire.
Male: Decreased libido, often due to stress.
Urinary Tract: Wants to urinate frequently and a deficiency may lead
to bed-wetting, especially in nervous children.
Respiratory: Shortness of breath, especially after exertion,
occasionally you may come across asthma after a patient has been
suffering from depression.
Circulation: Irregular heartbeat.
Nerves: Patient may complain of all kinds of neuralgic pains, often
associated with tiredness and feeling depressed, they tend to slowly
but surely become very sensitive to noise, sharp light, sharp colour
and feel half lame. Paralysis. They never sleep well.
Skin: Tends to become itchy or develop eczema in the nervous type
of patient. Most patients, with today's hectic way of life/ will benefit.
Hyperhydrosis.
Dosage
Adults: At least 200 to 250 mg per day in divided
doses, but can be given to the sleepless in one
dose.
Children: Half of the adult dose.
Potassium phosphate patients always feel better in warmth and they
always complain about feeling lousy in the mornings. These are the
night birds. Of tremendous value for exam stress, athletic
competitions, or continuous physical exertion, for instance body
builders and aerobic fans.
Potassium Sulphate
Physiological Application
Potassium sulphate is primarily used to improve oxygenation in the
patient, whether you want more oxygen in the brain, skin, and
nerves or in the intercellular fluids, use Potassium sulphate and link
it to Iron.
Pathological Application
Patients who lack Potassium sulphate invariably have skins which
show desquamation of the epidermis. It is always used in fever,
especially if it is worse during the late afternoon and evening,
becoming better after midnight.
When to use
Mind: Cannot concentrate. Feels confused, always anxious in the
evenings.
Head: Dandruff. Scalp moist and sticky, oily hair and alopecia.
Eyes: Yellow to green discharge.
Ears: Catarrhal deafness, normally due to Eustachian catarrh.
Nose: Usually dry stuffy sinus with no mucus but an outstanding
symptom is loss of smell and eventually loss of taste. Occasionally a
watery nasal drip, but that is seldom.
Mouth: Mouth burning hot.
Tongue: Loss of taste, yellow.
Stomach: Stomach always feels full. These patients always complain
that there is water in the mouth and they do not know where it is
coming from. It looks as if they are dribbling.
Abdomen and Colon: Stools are normally loose, it smells like sulphur.
Itchy anus.
Female: Periods late.
Respiratory: Great amount of mucus that cannot be raised.
Emphysema, bronchial asthma, yellow to greenish mucus becoming
worse in warm stuffy rooms.
Circulation: Palpitations.
Skin: Dry with scales. Sometime eczema. Face dryish but hair
 greasy or oily. An outstanding symptom of these patients is that they
always complain of shifting rheumatic pains. Temperature seems to
rise in the afternoon and early evening, only to fade away at
midnight. Like the cool fresh open air.
Dosage
Adults: 200 mg in divided doses per day.
Children: Half of adult dosage.
Invariably linked to Magnesium phosphate.
Magnesium Phosphate
Physiological Application
Magnesium/ especially the Phosphate, is probably the most important
Electroloid of all because it is a catalyst that should be included in
most prescriptions. It has been well documented that Magnesium
phosphate in particular, is needed to maintain the normal balance
between Sodium phosphate and Calcium, even within the heart
muscle.
An imbalance in any one of these four minerals (Kali Phos, Mag phos,
Sodi phos. Calcium) will lead to irregularities of the heart function. In
other words, Arrthythmias may occur. A relatively small percentage
of Arrhythmias are potentially lethal, it is more likely to be irritating
and worrying to the patient. In South Africa where it has been
proven that Magnesium lacks in our soil and drinking water, it will
definitely be lacking in the food that we eat too.
Inadequate Magnesium intake will automatically lead to a gradual and
general depletion of the body's store of minerals which can affect
any part of the body. Athletes, for instance, may start complaining of
weakness, disinterest, muscular twitching, cramps, irritability,
palpitations or an awareness of an irregular heartbeat. Magnesium
is of vital importance for normal functioning of the brain, spinal cord
and all nerves. Almost fifty percent of Magnesium in the body will be
used by the liver, kidneys and muscles. Approximately one third of
the Magnesium links to protein, which leaves only two thirds
available as free cations.
Pathological Application
Low levels of Magnesium will result in what is commonly known as
neuro-muscular irritability, such as: weaker movement, poor co-
ordination, tremors, unsettled heartbeat, jerking, angina, high or low
blood pressure, confusion, sleeplessness, and disorientation, hyper-
activity in children, nightmares as well as poor concentration and
memory. Every time an alcoholic drink is consumed, Magnesium is
lost five times faster than normal in the urine. In addition, keep in
mind that Magnesium is also used by the kidneys. This is one of the
reasons why it is an absolute must for people who drink alcohol
daily or are alcoholics to replace Magnesium phosphate.
Magnesium phosphate is used by the motor nerves and the body will
try to compensate for a lack of Magnesium by using Calcium
phosphate. Urinary loss of Magnesium will tend to result in a higher
pH which is one of the reasons why some people develop
phosphate stones.
We can also lose Magnesium through vomiting, loose stools,
cortisone treatment, water pills (diuretics) kidney problems,
alcoholism and in patients with over-active parathyroids.
When to use
Mind: Forgetful, confused, restless, sleepless, poor concentration and
memory, nightmares, illusions.
Head: Headaches with either pressure-like symptoms, also
spasmodic headaches. Patient aggravated by noise.
Eyes: Orbital neuralgia, very sensitive to sharp light, floating,
complains of seeing spots.
Face: Twitching, neuralgic pains. Absolutely necessary for Bells'
Palsy.
Teeth: Can become very sensitive to cold and warm drinks or food.
Stomach: Colic. Spasmodic pains which feel better on bending, soft
rubbing or pressure.
Abdomen and Colon: Stools tend to be dark, hard, passed with pain
and spasmodic pains may occur anywhere in the abdomen area.
Urinary Tract: Bed-wetting nightly in very nervous children. Tend to
urinate very frequently.
Female: Colic, cramping pain, premenstrual pain.
Respiratory: Chest feels very tight. Asthma in the very nervous type of
patient.
Circulatory: Angina, heart cramps, palpitations, tremors, tachycardia.
Extremities: Cramps, shooting pains, pins and needles (paraesthesia)
and tremors. Athletes tend to complain of shin splints caused by the
drop in Magnesium and subsequently Calcium phosphate. Muscular
spasms. Continuous backache.
Nerves: Spasmodic pains, trembling, cramps, spasms. Any pain,
when the patient uses the word "cramp-like".
Sleep: Body tired, but it feels as if the brain does not want to switch
off. Wake up during sleep and cannot fall asleep again thereafter.
Some patients cannot fall asleep.
Dosage
400mg per day in divided doses. In severely stressful situations,
alcoholism, palpitations or very bad heart conditions, the dosage
may be increased up to five times the suggested, but in divided
doses. There is nothing wrong with an initial boost of at least
600mg.
Magnesium patients always feel better for warmth, by bending
double, with pressure and having some alcohol to settle them/ but
only initially. They feel terrible in cold weather, cold wind, cold water,
prolonged alcohol use, noise and after prolonged exertion.
Examples are athletes, body builders, students burning the midnight
oil, top executives trying to bum the candle at both ends and
housewives who try to be mother/ father, servant and taxi driver all
in one!
An outstanding cation effect of Magnesium phosphate is that it also
controls and keeps the co-enzymes in balance.
Iron Phosphate
Physiological Application
It is responsible for the blood oxygen carrying capabilities into other
tissue.
Pathological Application
Anaemic women of reproductive age and athletic men need additional
iron. The more active the person, the more oxygen they need. An
iron deficiency can give rise to inflammation and pain. In acute
cases fever appears, the pulse becomes quicker and patients seem
to have a flushed appearance which can be misleading. In chronic
Iron anaemia the patient will tend to be pale, tired and have a weak
pulse. Whenever the body loses Iron, it would appear as if the
Potassium chloride is then lost faster and vice versa. Do not be
misled by the either flushed or pale appearance, rather look at the
inner eyelid, tongue and the colour of the flesh just under the nails.
When to use
Mind: Lethargic, no courage, feels that there is no hope.
Head: Throbbing headaches relieved by cold compresses.
Nose: Nose bleeds. Colds.
Tongue: Bright red with dark red swellings. Note the contrast between
Iron and Potassium, although the two Electroloids are invariably
given together, rather look at the other symptoms if you are in doubt.
Mouth and Throat: Cold sores, toothache, fever, one-sided hot cheek,
sore throat, red and inflamed throat.
Stomach: Vomit with bright red blood.
Abdomen and Colon: Loose stools, watery stools, inflamed
haemorrhoids with or without bright red blood.
Urinary Tract: Bladder infection, disuria, urine feels warm. Urinates
frequently.
Female: Heavy periods with bright red blood. Menstruates either too
often, too soon and / or too long. Females during the reproductive
age obviously loose Iron phosphate quicker due to monthly
menstruation.
Respiratory: Dry barking cough, hoarseness, first stage of all
inflammation problems.
Circulation: Palpitations with very quick pulse. Aneurysms (do not
forget Calcium fluoride.)
Nerves: Tired, worse at night. Tends to depend on stimulants because
it helps temporarily.
Extremities: Excessive night perspiration, high temperature.
Skin: Skin appears red in colour, associated with fever.
Dosage
Adults: Maximum 120mg per day in divided doses, depending on the
patient's diet.
Children: Half adult dose.
Important
Any caffeine intake may lead to Iron phosphate deficiency. Even if a
patient is taking Iron phosphate or plenty of beetroot he will
definitely loose his Iron if he begins the day with coffee, frequently
drinks cool drinks containing caffeine or takes pain pills containing
caffeine. (Chocolates also contain caffeine). There is thus a broad
spectrum of people who desperately need Iron phosphate
supplementation, a need which is invariably linked to Potassium
chloride.
Silica
Physiological Application
Silica is the main carrier of all the other valuable minerals, especially
Calcium fluoride and Calcium phosphate into the connective tissue,
tendons, muscles, skin, mucus membranes, bones, joints and
glands. Silica is regarded as the doubled-edged sword; it can
eliminate old waste by either re-absorption or suppuration. Silica is
called "nature's knife" because it can break down parasitic Calcium
 and Sodium urate and remove this from the joints, muscles and
glands.
Pathological Application
Silica is the carrier of other nutrients and a deficiency will lead to
malnutrition of all the parts mentioned as well as the nervous
system. A chronic condition will heal quicker when we add Silica to a
prescription. A Silica deficiency definitely seems to upset the
absorption of Calcium into bones. That applies to all patients, but
especially the elderly. When an elderly patient suffers from a pelvic
crack or a broken bone anywhere in the body after a nasty fall.
Silica must be in the prescription.
When to use
Mind: Difficult concentration, although not a lack of concentration.
Head: Hair loss, ends split.
Eyes: Cataract. Sty’s. Ulcers.
Ears: Catarrhal deafness with chronic suppuration.
Nose: Loss of smell. Stinking discharge.
Mouth: Gumboils.
Teeth: Toothache, deep-seated abscesses.
Throat: Tonsillitis.
Male: Hydrocele due to the loss in Calcium fluoride caused by a Silica
deficiency.
Female: Mastitis. Fibro-adenosis.
Stomach, Stool and Abdomen: Spasms of the anus, motions difficult
to expell, feels as if faeces is slipping back.
Respiratory: Expectoration loose or difficult to raise, thick yellow
mucus. Asthma after midnight.
Extremities: White spots on nails, brittle finger nails. Ingrown toe nails.
Clammy feet, bone pains, osteoporosis. Osteo-arthritis, arthritis.
Keloid growths.
Dosage
Adults: 400mg per day in divided doses. Children: Half adult dose.
Silica patients always feel better in summer, humid weather and in
warmth. They feel worse when it is cold, before a storm and just
lying down (in the early morning).
The Calcium Salts
Calcium fluoride.
Physiological Application
Calcium fluoride is found on the surface of bones and the enamel of
teeth and provides hardness. It gives strength and tone to the rest of
the body's elastic fibres and connective tissues, especially the skin
and vascular walls.
Pathological Application
A deficiency of Calcium fluoride will lead to conditions where there is
a lack of tone in the fibres. This can occur in a variety of places for
instance: hard knotty glands, a loss of elasticity in the ligaments and
tendons, cracks and keratosis of the skin will appear. Nails become
brittle, ridges on the nails, chipping of the nails, even chipping of
teeth.
When to use
Mind: Anxiety and depression. A loss of mental elasticity, even the
skull is not all that elastic.
Head: Creaky noises in the head. Meniere's Syndrome.
Eyes: Sees spots, cataract, pain and blurred vision. Styes. White of
the eyes sometimes red and bloodshot.
Nose: Green lumpy offensive discharge.
Face: Corners of the mouth crack. (Don't forget the co-enzymes).
Herpetic or cold sores on the lips and inside the mouth.
Tongue: Always cracked all along the middle with some furring.
Teeth: Over sensitive to hot and cold foods.
Throat: Hard swollen tonsils, dry irritating cough.
Abdomen and Stools: Anal fissures. Fistula in Ani. Uterine
prolapse. Prolapsed Colon. Prolapsed Bladder. Haemorrhoids.
Difficulty in passing faeces.
Circulation: Aneurysms. Especially aortic Aneurysms. Varicose veins.
Enlarged heart. Haemorrhoids.
Extremities: Enlarged joints. Inflamed joints, tennis elbow. Ganglia
and hard cysts.
Skin: Keratosis of the palms and soles of the feet. Cracks and
dryness of the skin in the thighs and behind the ears.
General: Hardened glands. Fibro-adenosis in the female breast (very
common, although occurring in men too).
Dosage
Adults 12 to 15mg in divided doses.
Children Half adult dose.
Calcium fluoride patients always feel better in heat and warmth. They
dislike damp weather. A true Calcium fluoride patient is the fair-
skinned" double-jointed ballet dancer.
Calcium Phosphate
Physiological Application
Calcium phosphate is mostly required by the skeletal system. The
skeleton contains most of the body's Calcium phosphate. The
remaining Calcium phosphate is responsible for the manufacturing
of the two hormones thyroid and parathyroid. It is very interesting to
note that parathyroid controls the body's ability to absorb Calcium
phosphate. In other words, the same glands that control Calcium in
the body also need Calcium to function effectively. Please note that
the Calcium referred to here, is not the coarse molecule found in
dairy products. Not the heavy in-absorbable building blocks found in
all dairy products. It is almost as if the parathyroid requires micro-
fine Calcium building bricks to do its work properly.
Pathological Application
The loss of Calcium phosphate may lead to irritability of the muscles
which can lead to tetany, convulsions, cramps and polyuria. If
Magnesium is deficient, Calcium will be lost in the urine. If Calcium
is deficient, Magnesium will be lost. We all know that fractures will
not unite when Calcium is deficient and also that osteoporosis will
develop in old age. Calcium is robbed from the long bones during
deficiency to supply the needs of the soft tissue and that is why we
need Calcium as a supplement, not necessarily for now but for later
on in life. The problem is, however, that Calcium becomes deficient
under the following conditions: menstruation, pregnancy, after X-
Ray therapy, during cortisone therapy, aspirin, a diet too rich in
sugar, a Magnesium deficiency, lactation, lack of oestrogen and
menopause. During a period of Calcium phosphate deficiency cells
break down, causing a white discharge from any mucus membrane
and a loss of protein in the urine.
When to use
Mind: Fretful, slow comprehension, anxiety over small things, poor
memory.
Head: Open fontanelles.
Eyes: Dry and inflamed. Light sensitive.
Nose: Polyps.
Face: Pale. Pimples during Puberty.
Teeth: Brittle. Slow dentition. Toothache.
Throat: Tonsils enlarged. Sore throat always in the morning, but better
after eating. Glands can become painful.
Stomach: Tender to touch, bloated, poor appetite. Calcium phosphate
patients may crave salted and smoked meats.
Abdomen/Stools: Very loose stools, not always painful. A must in
ulcerative colitis.
Urinary Tract: Bed-wetting in young and elderly. Frequency.
Extremities: Cold, chilblains, poor circulation.
Nerves: Nightly pains, as if in the bone.
General: Polyps in the nose, bladder, uterus, rectum. Patient appears
anaemic.
Dosage
Adults: 200 to 400mg per day in divided doses.
Children: Same as adult dosage.
Calcium phosphate patients always feel better when lying down,
resting and in warm dry weather. They feel worse in cold wet
weather, dampness, whilst teething, at night, during exercise or
movement.
The Sodium Salts
Sodium Phosphate
Physiological Application
Sodium phosphate is found in all tissues but primarily in the blood and
all body fluids. Sodium phosphate may literally be regarded as the
most important cleanser in the human body. Sodium phosphate will
neutralise lactic acid, uric acid and cholesterol, even in the
gallbladder. Unfortunately Sodium chloride (table salt) is stronger
than Sodium phosphate, which means the higher the salt intake the
higher the Sodium phosphate loss. Unfortunately the foods that
contain Sodium phosphate happen to be rare and are not really
eaten in South Africa.
Sodium phosphate is found in its trace element form in berries, figs
and goats milk - which explains why we all lack Sodium phosphate
at some stage in life. Like the battery of a motor car, it would appear
that we dare not neglect Sodium phosphate. This is where the
positive and negative Electroloids come into the picture. We should
regard Sodium phosphate as the good guy, the positive Electroloid.
Pathological Application
When Sodium phosphate becomes deficient, the patient will definitely
start complaining of uric acid, excess la<6c acid, gout, inability to
break down fat, rheumatism, arthritis, fibrositis, fibre adenosis in the
female breast, lumbago, sciatica, heartburn, skin itchiness, burning
feet, burning urine and burning female discharge. In other words
 almost everything that is acid related. Sodium phosphate is the acid
neutraliser in the body, whether of the brain or in the feet.
When to use
Mind: Fearful.
Head: Headaches with nausea and pressure-like symptoms.
Eyes: Sticky eyelids, especially in the mornings due to golden yellow
discharge.
Tongue: Always coated creamy yellow, often acid or burning taste.
Stomach: Acid, winds, worms.
Abdomen/Stools: Sour burning green, anus burning, occasional
threat of worms.
Urinary Tract: Frequent urination. Burning (not always).
Female: Acid or watery discharge, creamy in colour. Sterility. Nausea
during first trimester of pregnancy. Fibro adenosis.
Extremities: Gout, rheumatism, arthritis, fibrositis. Aches and pains.
Skin: Eczema due to excess acid. Itchiness all over body and any part
of the body. Sometimes with erythema.
General: Glands swollen. Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, osteomaiacia
due to excess Calcium deposits in the tissue.
Dosage
Adults: 1 500mg per day in divided doses.
Children: Half adult dose.
Sodium phosphate patients feel worse during the afternoon in open
air and sudden changes in climate.

Sodium Sulphate
Physiological Application
Sodium sulphate is found in the inter-cellular fluids, in other words in
the lymph fluids of the body including the vitreous fluid of the eye. It
seems to control the flow of all fluids out of the body, including bile.
Its opposition, once again, is Sodium chloride.
Pathological Application
When Sodium sulphate becomes deficient we can no longer get rid of
excess fluids (water) from the inter-cellular and interstitial spaces.
This is when oedema (water retention) sets in. The patient will
complain of bloatedness, puffy eyes, swollen feet, swollen knees, all
due to water retention. It is nature's own water pill.
When to use
Eyes: Yellow, burning, sticky eyelids occasionally light sensitive.
Ears: Meniere's Syndrome. Ringing or stitches through ears
becoming worse in damp weather.
Nose: Thick yellow discharge. Polyps.
Face: Yellowish jaundiced look.
Tongue: Green-brown coat. Bitter taste. Also red tongue.
Stomach: Biliousness. Liver is tender. Vomiting of bile with giddy
headaches. Jaundice (Hepatitis A & B). Tender pancreas.
Abdomen / Stool: Bloated. Thick swollen tummy. Colic, diarrhoea.
Loose stools, green.
Urinary Tract: Polyuria, biliuria, test positive for urobilinogen
and sometimes positive for bilirubin. Diabetes.
Respiratory: Asthma, worse in humid damp weather, nightly cough,
greenish mucus.
Nerves: Restless. Cannot sit still because they start developing aches
and pains due to lymphatic fluid thickening. They need to be on the
move.
Extremities: Water retention. Fingers, feet and tummy swell. Puffy
eyes. Aches and pains in the back, neck, limbs, worse in warm
stuffy rooms, sitting or lying still and getting out of bed in the
morning due to lymph thickening. Sodium sulphate patients always
feel better whilst moving and in warm weather. They also tend to
eventually almost hate salt. Obvious scurf rim around the iris.

discharge. Forms yellow scales.
Dosage
Adults: 600mg up to 1 200mg per day in divided doses.
Children: Half adult dose.
Sodium sulphate patients hate damp, cold, clammy weather, they do
not feel well at the seaside, they dislike lying on the left side, but
they love dry warmth, changing their body position frequently and
movement. The word "stiffness" becomes a keyword and will almost
always crop up in the examination or case history or complaints.
