Chronic Prescribing Rules |
CHRONIC prescription: Always include sodium phosphate (SP) or sodium sulphate (SS) & magnesium phosphate (MP). If the patient’s symptom picture does not clearly indicate a sodium salt, or if the indications are equally weighted, then always prescribe sodium phosphate (SP). Prescribe no fewer than 3 and no more than 6 mineral salts in chronic cases. It is time rather than the dose that will emerge as the most important factor in the treatment of chronic conditions. Often 3-6 months is required to fully gain the benefits from the minerals. Address the underlying cause of symptoms to improve disease: - Correct the viscosity of the blood. - Promote the removal of congestion. - Reduce and eliminate inflammation. - Enhance cell replacement. |
|
|
Acute Prescribing Rules |
Acute: 1 to 4 minerals that fit symptom picture and doses should be given as follows: 1-2 tablets, every 15 minutes to 2 hours. Infants & children: Reassess every 6-12 hours, check temperature & hydration regularly. Faster & better results can be gained by crushing or chewing the tablets before swallowing with a few mouthfuls of warm water or juice (breast milk). Minerals for specific digestive disorders are best prescribed with meals. Take 2 hours away from medications or antibiotics. The doses should be maintained for a time beyond the point where the symptoms have ceased. Christina does for Adults: 1 tablet every 15 minutes x 4 1 tablet every 30 minutes x 4 1 tablet every 1hr x 4 1 tablet every 2hrs x 4 1 tablet 4-6 times a day. |
