Homeopathic Cell Salts for Better Training
Laurie Melcuk, a Teleosis alum from Western Massachusetts writes in Homeopathy Today (Summer 2015), that her son was a cross-country runner in the fall of 2014. She suggested to him that he try using homeopathic cell salts to help his performance. “It turned out to be a great experiment because the time it takes an athlete to run a particular course doesn’t vary by much. When people break their former records [by], 30 seconds, [it’s] a pretty big deal.”
According to Dr. Schussler, there are 12 cell salt remedies that have been used to keep people healthy. Dr. Schussler, a German homeopathic physician investigated the chemical make-up of ashes of human tissue, paying particular attention to the human cells found within. This research led him to the belief that all tissues were essentially made up of 12 inorganic mineral salts. If one or more are absent from the body, the proper function is disrupted, inviting dis-ease.
The minerals calcium and magnesium are necessary to the body for muscle contraction, thus Laurie suggested Calcarea Phos and Magnesium phos adding in Ferrum Phos because running demands efficient use of oxygen by the lungs and muscles as iron is needed for metabolism of oxygen.
Young Melcuk used the cell salt combination for the first time during a practice run, taking Ferrum Phos 6x about three hours beforehand and Calc & Mag Phos about a half hour before his run. Laurie asked her son how practice went. His response was shocking, “I couldn’t feel my legs.” This would alarm any parent however, she explained that normally, pain would begin to take over in his legs altering how fast he could run. “This time, I couldn’t run fast enough to make my legs hurt. But I couldn’t breathe!” Hearing that Laurie suggested he take the Ferrum Phos 6x closer to the start time to better aid with oxygenation.
Pairing Mag phos 6x, Calc phos 6x and Ferrum phos 6x and giving this to Laurie’s son about a half hour before his actual race resulted in something that shocked his coach. He broke his personal best record by nearly two minutes! In the cross-country running circles, that’s huge! He vowed to continue with this protocol to help him with endurance.
She noted that once her son had forgotten to take this incredible cell salt combination with him for a race. His times were significantly slower and once home he remarked the difference he felt.
