Alternative medicine has always been a topic of debate, and one such product that has been polarizing is the Schüssler Salts, discovered by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schüssler in 1873. However, in recent years, these salts have been experiencing a resurgence due to people’s general aversion to conventional medicine. Schüssler Salts are mineral salts in tablet form that are potentiated and processed according to the principles of homeopathy. The end product contains only a negligible amount of the original substance, known as information by alternative medicine practitioners. While the scientific community considers this theory to be nonsense, many people report experiencing relief from their symptoms after taking these salts.
Elisabeth Metz-Melchior, a naturopath, conducted an empirical study on the effectiveness of Schüssler Salts. She noticed that these salts had a beneficial effect on the body, mind, and soul of her patients. She selected participants who had either never taken Schüssler Salts or had not taken them for an extended period. All participants agreed to take the prescribed salts for at least three months. Before and after the study, their health was documented through anamnesis and various tests. A total of 53 patients participated in the study, with 42 completing it as agreed. The results showed that the majority of participants experienced a rapid normalization of their body’s imbalanced functions, leading to an overall improvement in their well-being.
The study also revealed that Schüssler Salts accelerated the breakdown of heavy metals and environmental toxins such as lead and mercury. After just three months, the participants’ hair mineral analysis showed significantly lower levels of these substances. Additionally, the salts optimized the body’s supply of minerals and trace elements, aiding in the elimination of unwanted substances. The study recorded and evaluated 458 individual symptoms, and the results showed that approximately 90% of the symptoms improved or disappeared entirely after three months of taking Schüssler Salts. Although the scientific community does not recognize these results due to the lack of scientific evidence, the study conducted by Elisabeth Metz-Melchior clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of Schüssler Salts.
