Preface- The steadily increasing demand for this work has exhausted three large editions and necessitated the preparation of a fourth edition. What was intended originally as a mere suggestive guide to the use...
Part I. Introduction To The Theory And General Sketch Of Twelve Tissue Remedies- About a year ago I endeavored to discover by experiments on the sick if it were not possible to heal them, provided their diseases were curable at all, with those substances that are the natural, i e...
The Theory Of Schussler's Biochemic Method- The idea upon which Biochemic Therapeutics is based is the physiological fact that both the structure and vitality of the organs of the body are dependent upon certain necessary quantities and proper ...
The Constituents Of The Human Organism- Blood consists of water, sugar, fat, albuminous substances, chloride of sodium, chloride of potash, fluoride of lime, silica, iron, lime, magnesia, soda and potash. The latter are combined with phosph...
Tissue-Building- Blood, containing the material for every tissue and cell of the body, furnishes nutriment for every organ, enabling it to perform its individual function; thus it supplies every possible physiological...
Inorganic Constituents Of Cells- The inorganic materials of nerve-cells are Magnes. phos., Kali phos., Natrum and Ferrum. Muscle-cells contain the same, with the addition of Kali mur. Conneclive tissue-cells have for their specific s...
Formation Of Tissue Cells- The oxygen of the air, upon reaching the tissues through the blood by means of the respiration, acts upon the organic substances which are to enter in the formation of new cells. 2 The products of ...

Dose Or Quantity Of Tissue Salt Required To Re-Establish Normal Cell Equilibrium- Biochemic remedies are administered in minimal doses. The curative virtue of small doses may be deducted from the following facts: Throughout nature, atoms and groups of atoms or molecules form ...

Schussler's Own Procedure- At first Schussler began with the sixth centesimal or twelfth decimal trituration; but he, very early in his practice, adopted the sixth decimal preparation as the one most generally useful. Lately th...
Frequency Of Doses- In acute cases, a dose every hour or two; in severe, painful affections, a dose every ten to fifteen minutes; in chronic affections, one to four doses daily. In suitable cases the external use of t...
Relations Of The Biochemic To The Homoeopathic Treatment- Often the question has been asked, Is Schusslerism Homoeopathy? and it has as often been answered in the affirmative as in the negative. Schussler himself claims that it is not in any way related to...
Relations Of The Biochemic To The Homoeopathic Treatment. Continued- This rationally explains how inert substances acquire by subdivision (trituration) medicinal properties. This has long been a stumbling-block to allopathic comprehension of Homoeopathy. Do we not w...
