What are cell salts?

Cell Salts are a group of homeopathic remedies made from minerals, they are the building blocks of our bodies. Cell, meaning “used on the cellular level” and Salts, meaning “mineral or minerals salts.”

There are 12 basic mineral or tissue cell salts in our bodies, which are:

• 3 Calcium minerals: Calcium Fluoride, Calcium Phos , Calcium Sulphate
• 3 Potassium minerals: Kali Mur, Kali Phosphate , Kali Sulphur
• 3 Sodium minerals: Natrum Phosphate, Natrum Sulphur , Natrum Mur
• Plus: Ferrum Phosphate (iron), Magnesia Phosphate (magnesium), Silicea (silica).

This brings me to my go-to lately for general balance and optimum health, Hyland’s Bioplasma. It keeps the minerals in balance and can be taken daily to keep energy levels high, boost the immune system, and keep your physical performance at its best. Cell Salts are my first suggestion for people who are experiencing deficiencies, and I feel comfortable suggesting these homeopathics due to the ease of selection and dosing plus the safety in potency and the quick results.

When I personally work with a client, along with selection of a remedy, I will add the Cell Salt that is showing deficiency in the body. I feel this is an essential step to enable the body to heal. Upon using this wonderful combination, my digestion was rebalanced, my arthritis has improved, and I sleep better, which has also helped lift my brain fog.

My Journey with Hypothyroidism

In my late twenties, fatigue settled in. I became aware of an overall loss of energy. I visited with my Naturopathic doctor and several tests came back positive for low thyroid syndrome. We made changes in my diet and added 12.5 mg of iodine from the supplement Iodoral. I immediately felt the difference in energy and sleep was once again my friend. As added benefits, my hair stopped thinning, my hormones regulated, and I managed to lose 10 pounds in 3 months.

According to “Nutrition and Public Health,” there appears to be a link between inadequate amounts of iodine and increased estrogen production, which can lead to fibrocystic disease of the breast and increase the risk of breast cancer. Supplemental iodine may help maintain normal breast tissue structure and function.

Long-term iodine deficiency eventually results in hypothyroidism, which is reduced hormonal output from your thyroid. Hypothyroidism leads to sluggish metabolism, weight gain, severe fatigue and colder hands and feet, as well as reduced production and sensitivity of all hormones in your body. This confirmed Iodorel was the right supplement for me. After 90 days my medical doctor conducted more tests and increased my iodine to 36 mg a day. I’ve been on iodine (Iodoral) since 2002 and have maintained my improved health. The body does not make iodine, so it is an essential part of your diet. Iodine is found in various foods although if you do not have enough iodine in your body, you cannot make enough thyroid hormone. In short, your thyroid needs iodine in order to make hormones, which include thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These hormones are needed to regulate cellular metabolism and energy production. You may be aware of the protective benefits of iodine against radiation. All glands, especially your thyroid, are sensitive to radiation. If there is a lack of dietary iodine in your body during exposure to radiation, a form of radioactive iodine-131 will be absorbed and accumulate in the thyroid instead. Radioactive iodine damages your thyroid, leading to inflammation, mutation and potentially cancer.

In radioactive emergencies only, the CDC recommends the following: (The information below was sourced from http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/ki.asp) “According to the FDA, the following doses are appropriate to take after internal contamination with (or likely internal contamination with) radioactive iodine: Newborns from birth to 1 month of age should be given 16 mg (¼ of a 65 mg tablet or ¼ mL of solution). This dose is for both nursing and non-nursing newborn infants. Infants and children between 1 month and 3 years of age should take 32 mg (½ of a 65 mg tablet OR ½ mL of solution). This dose is for both nursing and non-nursing infants and children. Children between 3 and 18 years of age should take 65 mg (one 65 mg tablet OR 1 mL of solution). Children who are adult size (greater than or equal to 150 pounds) should take the full adult dose, regardless of their age. Adults should take 130 mg (one 130 mg tablet OR two 65 mg tablets OR two mL of solution). Women who are breastfeeding should take the adult dose of 130 mg.”

Cannabidiol For Pain Relief

Natural Products Expo East is where my coworkers and I were first introduced to Cibaderm Hemp Salve for pain relief. We were given information, and a free chair massage. Within three minutes, most of us were pain-free and relived from stress. “Could it have been the massage?” we all asked each other, “or the product itself?” I was so intrigued with this product, I decided to visit Cibaderm’s booth once more, and asked the questions, which I believe most people commonly ask. I was excited with the response I received. I have been using the salve since September with astonishing results! Our staff was also intrigued and has tried the product for themselves, with same positive results. cibaderm

What is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, the most prominent naturally-occurring cannabinoid component found in cannabis. It comprises up to 40% of the plant. Cannabidiol is “a cannabinoid devoid of psychoactive effect.” After THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is by far the most studied natural cannabinoid. According to many researchers, CBD may be the single most important cannabinoid ever discovered. Why would hemp (instead of marijuana) be grown for cannabidiol (CBD)? Industrial hemp is already rich in CBD and naturally low in THC, whereas most marijuana is just the opposite (high THC, low CBD). Our industrial hemp is considered Cannabis sativa L., although we have developed our own unique cultivars of this particular type of industrial hemp. Through a combination of these unique cultivars, advanced plant genetics, and cutting-edge growing techniques, an exceptionally high percentage of CBD can be produced naturally and consistently in the hemp plant. When CBD-rich hemp oil is extracted from these hemp cultivars—which can be grown in dozens of countries and imported to the USA legally—it doesn’t make legal or practical sense to obtain CBD from marijuana.

CBD is:

• For overall wellness and relaxation
• Non-psychoactive and safe for all ages
• Sustainably grown on generational family farms
• Natural, non-GMO, vegan, and kosher

I highly recommend this product for quick, long-lasting results for pain, inflammation, sprains and bruising.
