Vitamins, minerals (misplaced calcium) and supplements generally
As soon as dehydration is present, we know the following occur: the sun/moon shift is impeded, the pushing of sodium and calcium inside the cell by the influence of the sun during the day happens but the pulling out of sodium and calcium by the moon during the night is slowed down, is not as efficient. In other words, sodium and calcium are left behind inside the cell and you can perceive that as a clogging if you like, a lack of movement and a hardening of that cell.
Therefore the polarity of the person is disturbed because they are dehydrated. This means that we are really looking at a situation of misplaced fluids in the body and, as a result, of misplacement of minerals. When you have the fluids in the wrong places the minerals are bound to be misplaced also. And misplaced calcium (i.e. staying inside the cells rather than in the blood) is recognized in homoeopathy as involved in TB. You will find that this misplacement can be masked as an apparent 'deficiency', which has implications for your choice of vitamin and mineral supplements.
Sodium and calcium are the electrolytes that cause contraction in the body, so again we have this thickening, this lack of response inside the cell. When you have this incomplete cleansing, the lack of pulling out of the sodium and calcium, this is always the same as a polarity switch. Each of the main electrolytes has its own charge and if they are in the wrong position then this will profoundly affect the natural polarity of the body.
The natural position of sodium and calcium is outside the cell and the natural position of potassium and magnesium is inside the cell: this gives the perfect polarity, the perfect charge. And this setting, of course, influences the whole body. Sodium and calcium are responsible for contraction of the muscles whilst magnesium and potassium are the extenders which cause the relaxing effect throughout the body (see "Magnesium and Balance" section).
Most people are probably not deficient in certain minerals or vitamins: it is more likely that these are not being used correctly by the stressed body, as we have explained under day/night cleansing. There is a problem of displacement rather than of supply. We are sodium/potassium beings. In the extreme cases where lithium is given (for treating manic-depressive illnesses), that patient will become a sodium/ lithium being, a different person altogether. To a lesser extent, but in the same way, whatever supplements are used will be tending to alter the person, as it all comes back to the sodium/potassium and calcium/magnesium balances.
Returning to the calcium moving inside the cells during the daytime: the definition of blood sugar is the ability of the body to hold a good calcium level in the blood. If you cannot do this you have undesirably wildly fluctuating blood sugar levels. This indicates the fact that the calcium has whipped inside the cell, and stayed there. You can imagine what happens if you start to put more calcium into the body. The body only knows how to try to make the best of the existing situation working within its own parameters. It does not understand why more and more calcium and sodium is being poured into it and does what it can to deal with the overload. I never recommend supplementing with calcium, though I would use plenty of carrot juice, for instance, with pregnant women. (carrot juice is rich in calcium as well as other minerals)
Calcium misplaced and put in the wrong places is the homoeopathic definition of TB - when that happens we also become rigid. The additional calcium taken as supplements will go straight into the cell, hardening it further. Giving calcium to people with osteoporosis, for example, is really just helping them to die more quickly. The body is in the position of having to take calcium from the bones because it is so acidic; it uses the Ca to buffer the acidity and drop it out of solution in the blood. The calcium is coming out of bones, going inside the cell, hardening the arteries. You may know of people who have had a hip replacement, only to die subsequently of a heart attack.
Doctors are not looking to see what is happening with the calcium. Why the need for the hip replacement? If osteoporosis really is a calcium deficiency problem why, in this high dairy consumption country, do we see it as a common condition? It is incredible to me that, on the other hand, when osteoporosis is looked at by the medical profession body fluids are ignored. Laxatives and diuretics are the two most commonly prescribed drugs. Clearly, the natural signals of the body about fluids are not being recognized! By now, I am sure, you are becoming very aware of how interconnected so many events are.
Have you tried to use zinc supplements and got nowhere? The minerals demand the co-factors. zinc requires B6. Cases where high doses of B6 were given and children were malformed, were noted. This was because the B6 was scavenging the zinc. Using supplements may seem to work for a short time, but then a new set of symptoms will appear. I see piling in the supplements without doing the preparatory work as using nutrition in an allopathic way. It is not about movement and change, but about diagnosing something as "wrong" (see "Vitamins, minerals and supplements generally" section).
It can be quite confusing to know where to take your reasoning back to, so we always work with the concept of dehydration because, as soon as this starts to show, there is a cessation of the cleansing process. We know in naturopathy that it is very important to be able to cleanse before we can re-nurture, so always at the bottom of the pyramid is dehydration, lack of movement, lack of freedom and an imbalance in the Water Element, which we know is connected to fear. So we are always looking for a diminution of fear.
