There has been a great amount of interest in cell salts in the last few years. Most of the material in English is a rehash of the classics. I have updated two classic books from the 1920s written by Dr. George Carey. They are The Biochemic System of Medicine and The Chemistry and Wonders of the Human Body. I have adapted Dr. Carey’s materia medica (a collection of symptom details) for the layperson, translating some of his older technical medical terms into more modern-day language.The Glossary at the end of the book will also assist you with terms that are unfamiliar.
Dr. Carey’s reference material is immensely interesting and useful. In each chapter covering a particular cell salt, I provide this information as well as a Reader’s Digest–type version of his other writings on that particular remedy. Included in Chapter 2 are also several pages of cell salt comparisons.
In Europe the use of cell salts and facial deficiency diagnosis is widespread. In Germany alone, there are about sixty “cell salt” organizations. The European view of cell salts originates from two followers of Dr. W. H. Schuessler – Dr. Kurt Hickethier and Mrs. W. Sonner, who established the Sonnerschau Facial Analysis Theory in 1936. Since that time, thousands of practitioners have verified their observation that facial features reflect the symptoms of cell salt deficiencies. In each chapter I provide material from Dr. Schuessler’s “Therapeutic Index,” which can be found in his book, A New Treatment of Disease by the Inorganic Tissue Cell Salts. I also include photographs and descriptions of cell salt deficiencies as seen in the face.
The last part of Dr. Carey’s work has to do with his obsession with the cell salts and their relationship to the astrological constellations, birth times, and body parts. I include this information at the end of each chapter to provide a different view of the cell salts.
