The following is an excerpt from 12 Essential Minerals for Cellular Health by David R. Card:

Cell Salt Solutions are combinations of cell salts you can put together to satisfy the cellular needs of the body systems. It is best to use a combination of all the salts listed under each condition, or use individual salts if indicated.

Stick to one Cell Salt Solution until the condition or dis-ease improves. The results can show up in days, weeks, or months for those with chronic conditions. Acute conditions usually respond within hours or days.

To make your own Cell Salt Solution, place 1 tablet of each cell salt in a 12 to 24-ounce water bottle and shake. Sip on it during the day. You can use one or all cell salts in a formula, according to your own needs.

Have fun! -- Dave
