Cell salt protocol

What is a cell salt protocol?

A cell salt protocol is a personalised plan that names the cell salts I think are worth considering for you, the order I would approach them in, and my reasoning. When I write one, it comes from two places: the blood work you already have and the story you tell me about how you actually feel.

First, what are cell salts?

Cell salts, also known as tissue salts or Schuessler salts, are twelve mineral preparations developed from the work of Dr Wilhelm Schuessler. In complementary practice they are used as a way of looking at mineral patterns within the body. You can read about all twelve, and what each is traditionally associated with, on my cell salts page.

So what makes it a protocol?

A list of twelve salts is information. A protocol is a decision about which of those salts fit your picture.

You do not need to buy twelve bottles and start taking everything. The point of a protocol is to narrow things down to the salts that seem relevant to you, and to explain the order I would approach them in, rather than leaving you with a confusing list of possibilities.

I also explain why each one is there. I want you to understand why something has been included, not simply receive a list of names and numbers.

Where your blood work comes in

Because cell salts are mineral salts, I look through your blood work for patterns that may relate to particular salts. Ferrum phosphoricum, for example, is traditionally associated with iron, phosphate and the blood, so lower iron, ferritin or haemoglobin results may make it one of the salts I consider.

But it is not as simple as “low iron = Ferrum phos.” Your blood work is the starting point, not the answer. I look at your results as a whole and then check whether a pattern fits the rest of your story: your symptoms, how you are feeling and your health history.

What you receive

With Your Blood Story, I personally work through your results and your questionnaire, then write your protocol up as a PDF that is emailed to you. It explains the cell salts I am recommending, how I suggest approaching them and the reasoning behind it. You can keep it for your records and take it to your own practitioner if you would like to talk it through. See what’s included and how it works for the details.

What a cell salt protocol is not

It is not a medical diagnosis, a conventional interpretation of your blood results, or a medical test for mineral deficiency. I am a homeopath, not a doctor, and this sits alongside your existing healthcare rather than instead of it.
