Tissue Salts - The Calcium Family - Calc fluor Flashcards
Q1: What is the main focus of the calcium family of tissue salts?
A1: The calcium family is focused on structure, stability, and protecting.
Q2: What is the specific role of Calcium fluoricum (calc. fluor.) in tissue salts?
A2: Calcium fluoricum, also known as calc. fluor., acts as a tissue restorer and strengthener.
Q3: Which tissues or organs does calc. fluor. primarily support?
A3: Calc. fluor. has an affinity for connective tissues, including bones, vein walls, tendons, tooth enamel, the larynx, and the thyroid.
Q4: What are some deficiency symptoms associated with calc. fluor.?
A4: Deficiency symptoms include loss of tissue elasticity, dental decay, skin cracks and fissures, and fluorosis, which can cause mottling of teeth and calcification of muscle tissue and spinal ligaments.
Q5: How can fluoride exposure affect the body, and how can calc. fluor. help?
A5: Excessive fluoride exposure from water, pesticides, and dental products can lead to endocrine and connective tissue dysfunction. Calc. fluor. can help correct the imbalance in processing and eliminating excess fluoride in the body.
Q6: Name some clinical conditions that calc. fluor. may help with.
A6: Calc. fluor. may assist with conditions involving connective tissue weaknesses, such as strains, sprains, varicose veins, varicose ulcers, hemorrhoids, fractures, calcification of ligaments, and early onset cavities.
Q7: What are some dietary sources of calc. fluor.?
A7: Dietary sources include foods like grapes, oranges, lemon, onions, pumpkin, and garlic, and herbs like parsley, sage, mustard, buckwheat, chickweed, and cabbage.
Q8: How was calc. fluor. used in the case of a 4-year-old boy with anal fissures?
A8: In this case, calc. fluor. was applied as a balm (20 tabs crushed in a cream base) to the affected area 2–3 times daily, along with an oral dose of 2 tabs 3 times daily. Additionally, hydration, soluble fiber, and magnesium were recommended.
Q9: What is fluorosis, and how might it develop?
A9: Fluorosis is a condition marked by mottling of teeth and calcification of tissues due to excessive fluoride intake, typically from sources like contaminated water and certain foods.
Q10: Which types of connective tissue issues can calc. fluor. address?
A10: Calc. fluor. can address issues like bone, ligament, and tendon weaknesses, as well as nodules, varicose veins, and early onset cavities.
