If the blood lacks the necessary quantities of these natural inorganic elements, or indeed the cells are having difficulty accessing, absorbing or utilizing these minerals, the cell metabolism becomes disturbed and disease occurs. In the form of a potentised, microscopic amount the tissue salt is therefore more readily absorbed into the bloodstream and cells of the body. The tissue salts can rapidly restore the inorganic balance of cell tissues, thus alleviating the symptoms of disease and in most cases its cause.
