• Should I stop taking Silicea and Calc. Flour prior to surgery? at 2/8/12 7:50 AM
  • Hello there,
    
    I've been taking Silicea 12ch and Calcium Fluoratum 6ch for the last three days to assist with a Bartholin cyst develped on my left labia, which is now the size of a large marble.
    
    I've heard these natural remedies are a good cure in reducing the cyst size or sometimes it permits drainage of the cyst.
    
    I'm scheduled for breast surgery in 2 weeks, do you reocmmend for me to stop taking the Silicea and Calc. Fluoratum?
    
    I look forward to your response at your earliet opportunity.
    
    Regards,

  • Taking these things before surgery is fine - and may actually help speed your recovery. Cell salts act on a different level than most other supplements so taking them prior to surgery is ok. I also recommend apply Contrast Hydrotherapy over the Bartholin cyst to stimulate blood flow to the area http://www.healthegoods.com/natural-health-forum/contrast-hydrotherapy/?p=1 Best, Dr Ben

• sons anxiety at 2/14/12 7:00 AM
  • Hi, my 17 year old son has recently become extremely anxious and is getting upset stomachs and headaches. He says he feels detached from people. Will Silicea work for him?
    Thanks

  • Hello - I would evaluate his foods and diet first. Fructose malabsorption is very common and causes stomach upset, anxiety and headaches. Have him stop drinking and eating things with corn syrup in it. Soda, sport drinks and energy drinks are loaded with corn syrup. These must be stopped. Also have him stop drinking caffeine. Have him eat smaller yet more frequent meals with some sort of protein - to help balance blood sugar and mood - and energy. In terms of cell salts, I recommend BioChemic Phosphates - adding 25 tablets to a liter of water and drinking throughout the day. http://www.healthegoods.com/natural-health-brands/hylands-homeopathics-and-cell-salts/biochemic-phosphates-hylands.html I also recommend Magnesium and vitamin B6. Consider having him take 1 capsule of Magnesium Plus in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. http://www.healthegoods.com/magnesium-plus-100-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html And 1 more, Ashwagandha by Seeking Health - helps reduce anxiety and stress. Consider taking 1 capsule of Ashwagandha in the morning and 1 at night. He can also have it in his backpack and take 1 to 3 more during the day - during times of stress. http://www.healthegoods.com/ashwagandha-extract-stress-support-60-vegetarian-capsules-seeking-health.html There are other things that he should do as well - but let's start with these. Once we get him on board and feeling better with the changes and recommendations above - then he should add in the following: - Vitamin D3 - Probiotic - Multivitamin Don't want to overwhelm him initially. Keep me posted. Best Dr Ben .

• SILICEA FOR CONSTIPATION? at 3/13/12 2:52 PM
  • I have chronic constipation - rock-hard stools, dry, rectum does not want to let go! I drink 6-8 glasses of water per day - no results.
    
    Will Silicea help me?
  • Made from rock crystal, this cell salt’s source provides the strength in straw, plant stems, sponges, feathers, hair, skin, nails, bone surfaces and other tissues. Nicknamed the ‘grit’ cell salt, Silica’s strengthening action helps many conditions that need strength, cleansing or purging, especially in weakened individuals and disorders. When weak or overtaxed cleansing systems cause skin and glandular symptoms, Silica can help the body clear out many issues. In the skin, it helps clear acne, splinters, sores, corns, scar tissue, tooth pain, athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. It has proven very supportive in helping swollen sore throats and blocked eye ducts. The colds it treats best suffer under sinus and ear congestion with dry, crusty or blocked nasal passages and hammering, burning headaches. When a winter cough will not go away, Silica might be just the solution to clear out thick yellow mucus.

• Anal abscess and anal fistula at 3/19/12 1:15 PM
  • I have a problem with an anal abscess and anal fistula that won't seem to go away. I am being treated by a physician who has directed me to take two hot baths a day.
    
    Will Silcea 6x help to make the abscess and fistula go away?
  • Silicea 6x may help yes - along with: - Kali Mur 6x - Calc Sulph 6x I also recommend you stop eating all wheat and dairy for 2 weeks. Taking an epsom salt bath with about 5 lbs of epsom salt per bath should help as well. Consider obtaining the epsom salt from here: http://www.saltworks.us/ultra-epsom-salt-wholesale.html Add this salve, Bottoms Up, to the abscess twice daily: http://www.healthegoods.com/bottoms-up-balm-2-ounces-wise-woman-herbals.html In health, Dr Ben

• Silica dioxide Cell salt - can it be toxic at 3/21/12 12:19 PM
  • Hi, i've heard that Silica dioxide supplements do not leave the body and build up in body tissue, like breast leaking implants that are made of Silican, is this the same as cell salts, i wanted to take silicon for my hair, dry skin and nails, but am worried that it will build up and cause toxicity.
    
    Regards

  • Hi BH - Silica dioxide = silica. This is the most common mineral on our planet. It is used heavily by our bodies for structural purposes - which is why it is found in bone formulas and ligament formulas as well. Silica does not cause toxicity. You cannot get toxic from taking any cell salt - they are very safe and work on a different level that standard nutrients. To further support your dry skin, consider taking 2 capsules of Optimal Fish Oil. EPA/DHA is very much needed for healthy hair, skin and cell membranes. http://www.healthegoods.com/optimal-fish-oil-60-softgels.html I also recommend you consider taking Biotin 5 at one capsule daily. Biotin deficiency is linked to dry skin, unhealthy hair and nails. http://www.healthegoods.com/biotin-5-90-vegetarian-capsules-by-seeking-health.html A shower filter that removes chlorine is also recommended as chlorine is very damaging to the hair and skin - and lungs. http://www.healthegoods.com/new-wave-enviro-premium-shower-filter.html In health, Dr Ben

• Can I take while nursing at 7/25/12 3:52 AM
  • Is it ok to take silicea while nursing?

  • Hello - 

    Yes it is ok to take while nursing if you are not lactose intolerant.

    If you are lactose intolerant, then I recommend using probiotics such as ProBiota 12 by Seeking Health. There are bacterial strains in this product which support the breakdown of lactose. The results are not immediate so it is best to take ProBiota 12 for a month away from all dairy and then introduce a bit of lactose.

    If you need further lactose intolerance support, consider Lactase Drops by Seeking Health.

    In health,

    Dr Ben

• How long can I use Silicea at 8/10/12 8:12 PM
  • I am 15, male and using Silicea 6x for over a year now for severe acne vulgaris. It helped a lot, cysts are gone but every time i stop taking Silicea for couple days acne is coming back. How safe is Silicea taking longterm?
    
    Thanks.

  • Hello - 

    Silicea 6x is very safe to take long term. I recommend added 30 tablets to a liter of water and drinking throughout the day.

    If you mix in a scoop of Optimal Vitamin C Powder to your 1 liter water bottle along with Silicea 6x, that will also help support your skin.

    A probiotic is also very useful. I recommend you consider taking 1 capsule of ProBiota 12 after dinner. Having a healthy digestive system is critical to having clean skin.

• Silicea to draw out a tiny splinter of glass at 9/10/12 3:19 AM
  • I have a tiny flex of glass in the pad of my foot. I have been advised Silicea will help to draw it out. Either the tablets or the ointment, please advise. Thanks

  • Hello - 

    I'd consider both.

    Also using an epsom salt foot bath may help as well.

• Silicea 6X at 9/12/12 2:41 PM
  • I've recently been diagnosed with Hidradenitis suppurativa, just wondering if Silicea 6X would be something that could help prevent the breakouts

  • Hello - 

    That is a good pick - I'd consider this one also - along with Kali Sulph 6x.

    Consider also the Moor Mud as it is very drawing and may help pull out what is inside.

    MSM Plus Molybdenum may also prove useful. This is a nutrient that docs recommend for facial acne and many get results with MSM - and the added molybdenum helps process the sulfur bonds in the msm.

• tendon and ligament healing at 10/17/12 11:10 AM
  • I was trying to find something homeopathic for my son who recently hyperextended his knee. The lady at the healthfood store told me to give him Silicea to help his knee tighted back up and heal. Is Silicea helpful for sports injuries like this?

  • Sorry to hear about your son’s injury.  Is it a sports-related injury?  If so, I suggest Hyland’s Bioplasma, which is a combination of all 12 cell salts.  http://www.healthegoods.com/bioplasma-500-tablets-hylands.html 

    Here’s information about the cell salts in Bioplasma:

    Cell Salt Ingredient	Impact on Fitness & Sports Recovery
    Calcarea Fluorica 6X HPUSCalcarea Phosphorica 3X HPUSCalcarea Sulphurica 3X HPUS	3 calcium cell salts bring elasticity and circulation to muscle tissue, restore tone and strength, and aid in the removal of waste products from the blood
    Ferrum Phosphoricum 3X HPUS	Provides oxygen to the blood, feeding the nerves, muscles & blood vessels.
    Kali Muriaticum 3X HPUSKali Phosphoricum 3X HPUSKali Sulphuricum 3X HPUS	3 potassium cell salts act as 1. Nerve nutrients to aid in breathing and sharpen mental faculties; 2. Oxygen carriers to benefit perspiration and respiration; 3. Blood purifiers aid in the removal of waste products from the blood
    Magnesia Phosphoricum 3X HPUS	Ensures rhythmic movement of the muscles, relieves muscular twitching and cramps
    Natrum Muriaticum 6X HPUSNatrum Phosphoricum 3X HPUSNatrum Sulphuricum 3X HPUS	3 sodium cell salts act as 1. Water distributors to aid nutrition and glandular activity; 2. Acid neutralizers to aid in the assimilation of fats and other nutrients; 3. Eliminators of fluid to aid in perspiration and respiration.
    Silicea 6x HPUS	Acts as a cleanser and eliminator, initiating the healing process; Acts as an insulator of the nerves, restoring the activity of the skin.

    If the injury is not sports-related, here are 2 primary cell salts to try:

    #2:  Calc Phos 6x Cell Salt: Good for growth and repair.  Boosts nutrition and cellular activity to help restore tone to weakened or growing tissue.  http://www.healthegoods.com/calc-phos-6x-cell-salt-500-tablets-hylands.html 

    #4:  Ferrum Phos 6x Cell Salt:  The anti-inflammation cell salt made from iron phosphate helps assure good oxygen delivery which keeps muscles strong and helps control inflammation after over-exertion, sprains and strains.  http://www.healthegoods.com/ferr-phos-6x-cell-salt-500-tablets-hylands.html 

    The cell salt options are very safe.  The suggested dose of Bioplasma is 25 tablets per day. It is best to add 25 tablets of any cell salt to one liter of filtered water and drink it throughout the day.  This way you are obtaining the benefit of the cell salt all day long while hydrating yourself with pure water.  For the two individual cell salts, it is recommended to add 25 tablets of each cell salt to a liter of water and drink throughout the day.
