Building the Temple Through Biochemical Nutrition
One of the modalities that might be suggested alongside your acupuncture treatments here at Humanity Acupuncture is biochemical nutrition.
Dr. Wilhelm Schuessler developed Biochemical medicine in Germany back in the early 1800’s. Through his research he found that after the human body was cremated, all that remained were the 12 inorganic mineral salts that compose the human body. Those being: Sodium Chloride, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Sulphate, Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Flouride, Calcium Sulphate, Magnesium Phosphate, Ferrum Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Potassium Sulphate and Silica.
These 12 inorganic mineral salts (often called tissue salts or cell salts) are essential and vital in the building and repair of all 12 main systems of the body.
Some schools of thought in acupuncture focus on both excess and deficiency in the body in relation to states of disharmony. While other styles of acupuncture focus mainly on deficiency, believing that excess conditions presenting in the body (ex: fevers) are a merely a result of a core underlying deficiency. The excess condition being the bodies cry for help, calling you to notice and address the deficiency.
I am of the school of thought that all states of disharmony in the body stem from deficiency, whether it be lack of benevolent Qi (Bio-energy) or deficiency in the blood. Both optimal Qi and blood are needed to build and repair the human body. Our lungs govern respiration and bring the Qi from the heavens into the body to meet with our blood as it passes through the alveoli in the lungs. If the blood is rich in the proper ratio and balance of the 12 inorganic mineral salts, the qi from the air activates the mineral salts in the blood to create the core materials needed to rebuild the tissues that make up the nerves, muscles, bones etc. whose cells are in a constant state of wearing out and needing to be replaced. When one or more of the salts are deficient, symptoms can develop in those areas relating to that particular salt.
You entire body is designed to rebuild itself every 2 years. For example: blood is replaced every 4 months. Your body can only do this if it has the core materials needed to make the repairs. All of the synthetic vitamins in the world are not going to supply you with what your body was designed to work with. The 12 inorganic mineral salts are the core nutritional building blocks that make your living tissues possible.
Biochemical nutrition, targeted to address your specific condition, works beautifully in tandem with acupuncture. Acupuncture is wonderful for balancing, moving, unblocking and fortifying deficient Qi & blood. Utilizing Dr. Schuessler’s mineral salts (which are made in the same method as homeopathic remedies) in conjunction with acupuncture is the perfect marriage my mind, in that they provide a better nutritional state of the blood from the biochemical perspective, giving acupuncture treatments an optimal environment in which to work.
The mineral deficient soil in which most of the food we consume has been grown, has made our food supply deficient in the very mineral salts our bodies need to extract and utilize. Add to this the great many people suffering poor digestion, which only compounds the problem. Mineral salts are safe and do not produce unwanted side effects like some medications. They are the perfect way to get these vital compounds in a small enough size to allow proper absorption through the mucus membranes and right into the bloodstream where they can get to work.
