Dr. Schuessler, a German physician developed the Biochemic Therapy, based on the discovery that the natural activity of the cell depends on a standard amount of inorganic salts. According to Dr. Schuessler, any variation in normal amount of inorganic nutritive salts, especially a deficiency of these salts was the cause of a disease. Consequently his therapy consisted of compensating the deficiency of these inorganic salts through their medicinal counterparts. In this regard it is not necessary to compensate the deficiency with substitution, but to release a stimulus to release information which will help the cells to reabsorb the necessary inorganic salts from the food, so that the inner balance is maintained.
