1.5.1 We distinguish between different types of connective tissue
1.5.1.1 The fibrous connective tissue
- Loose connective tissue: In colloidal connective tissue, which is rich in fibres, fibroblasts build up the connective tissue by secreting the proteins of the extracellular network. Macrophages, phagocytic cells, take up bacteria and dead cells of the connective tissue in need of regeneration through phagocytosis4, resulting in the degradation of the connective tissue. In the connective tissue, this process results in a balance between the build-up and breakdown of connective tissue.
- Elastic connective tissue: found as ligaments in the spine, in the walls of blood vessels and in the alveoli of the lungs
- Tight connective tissue: ligaments and tendons.
1.5.1.2 Cell-rich connective tissue:
Cell-rich connective tissue is distinguished between:
- Embryonic connective tissue
- Adipose tissue (fat pad as protection)
- Reticular5 connective tissue: the cell nuclear scaffold is called endoplasmic reticulum, the skeletal muscle cells are called sarcoplasmic reticulum. Reticulin fibres are the elastic support scaffold of the lymphatic organs (spleen, lymph nodes). Reticulum fibres are the stem cells of lymphocytes.
1.5.1.3 The intercellular substance-rich connective tissue
The intercellular substance-rich connective tissue mainly comprises the bones and cartilage.
- Cartilage tissue is rich in collagen fibres incorporated into a rubbery matrix. This matrix6 consists of chondroitin sulphate. Collagen and chondroitin sulphate are secreted by the chondrocytes7. The calcification process begins in the cartilage tissue, which is why a good cartilage structure is also an important prerequisite for a good bone structure.
- Osteoblasts form a matrix of collagen, but also secrete calcium phosphate, which hardens into hydroxyapatite.
1.5.1.4 The blood
The blood is also referred to as connective tissue. It has an extensive cellular matrix. The formation of the red blood cells, erythrocytes, takes place in the bone marrow.
The many components require No. 2 Calcium phosphoricum due to their substance, whereby the protein molecules that have been converted into the body’s own protein structures are then built up into fibrous substances with the help of No. 4 Potassium chloratum.
1.5.2 Colloidal connective tissue – extracellular matrix
The colloidal connective tissue is our topic in relation to No.4. This connective tissue is built up with the help of this mineral as it contains a lot of fibrous elements.
1.5.2.1 It contains a mixture of elastic fibres.
The connective tissue is rich in various elements
- collagen fibres and
- elastin fibres,
- feather-like elements, the proteoglycans (the carbohydrate content is 95%),
- with hyaluronic acid as the stem
- elongated fibres, the glucosaminoglycans
- and finally net-like connecting elements, the laminin and fibronectin.
1.5.2.2 The tasks of connective tissue are manifold:
- It forms the transit route between cell and neighbouring cell.
- Molecular filter and sieve
- Tunnel-shaped transport routes for nutrients and harmful substances (Dr. Schüßler already spoke of connective tissue tubes, which, however, cannot be found in the microscope due to the previous preparation of the tissue).
- It leads to various cellular reactions by changing its electrostatic basic tone.
- The state of the extracellular space (EPR) determines which substances enter the cell and how quickly.
- There is also a metabolism in the extracellular space, which is controlled and kept in balance by fibrocytes (build-up) and macrophages (breakdown). According to the understanding of biochemistry according to Dr. Schüßler, the presence of potassium chloratum no. 4 ions is indispensable for this metabolism.
- The communication between the cells takes place via various immaterial levels (bio-oscillation, electrochemical stimulus transmission) and material levels (e.g. hormones and neurotransmitters) in finely tuned control circuits.
- For this communication to take place between the cells, all these processes must pass through the colloidal connective tissue. By this only, the signals are able to pass from cell to cell and from organ to organ.
- Via contacts between cell and extracellular matrix, even the gene activity in the cell nucleus is influenced. The connections have a multitude of positive and negative charges, resulting in a permanent interplay of attraction and repulsion between the structural molecules. This interplay is influenced above all by the dipole character of the passing water molecules, the connective tissue fluid, which form “hydration envelopes” of constantly changing thickness. In this way, the connective tissue constantly changes its colloid structure and is constantly in motion. If the connective tissue is healthy, its structures are elastic and mobile. One speaks of an “elastic connective tissue”.
- The cellular nutrient supply and intercellular signal transmission in the healthy connective tissue is thus dependent on: the composition of the connective tissue itself, on the water molecules of the connective tissue fluid, on the substances dissolved in the connective tissue fluid.
In the biochemistry according to Dr. Schüßler, No. 8 Natrium chloratum is responsible for the connective tissue fluid, No. 12 Calcium sulphuricum is needed for the permeability of the connective tissue, No. 9 Natrium phosphoricum is needed for the excretion of excess acids, but also No. 11 Silicea, which is not only responsible for the structure of the connective tissue elements, but also binds the acid.
The connective tissue has at least the same importance as the CNS has: The control centre of life processes, because the hormonal commands of the CNS can only be passed on to organs if the connective tissue allows this communication.
- There are even interactions between connective tissue and psyche, which is the subject of psychoneuroimmunology. Also in the biochemistry according to Dr. Schüßler, a close connection is made between this mineral and the psyche, the emotional balance of the human being, which will be discussed later.
- The connective tissue also has an active role in building up a good immune field, self-healing tendencies of the organism are activated.
1.5.2.3 Loss of elasticity of connective tissue
The origin of acidity is in the cell!
Through protein overfeeding, the proportion of acid in the connective tissue is dramatically increased at the expense of the OH – groups of the carbohydrates, it comes to the compaction of the connective tissue, the protein obesity.
In any case, with increasing acidity, i.e. the shift of the pH-value, the connective tissue reduces its permeability for nutrients, because it becomes denser or firmer over time.
If there is only a lack of fluid, this can be quickly regenerated. Dissolved minerals such as K, Ca, Mg, HCO3 are important for the colloidal interplay between polar structural molecules and water.
The connective tissue is not a closed compartment, a closed part of the body, but it is in constant flow equilibrium with the blood, brain and spinal fluid. A loss of electrolytes leads to disturbances in the intercellular transmission of stimuli.
1.5.2.4 Stresses on the connective tissue
The connective tissue is capable of absorbing, intercepting, adsorbing and depositing stresses and damaging influences from the outside over many years.
These include UV rays, heavy metal loads, stress, pathogens and metabolic waste products of all kinds, often due to years of poor nutrition!
In the process, the structure, elasticity and permeability are continuously changed until there is a loss of contact with higher-level regulatory centres, it is decoupled. This results in solidified zones on the surface of the body that are cut off from the supplying metabolism and begin to hurt.
Collagenoses, acute inflammatory processes and chronic degenerative diseases are the result of the loss of elasticity of the connective tissue. (Connective tissue rigidity, acid rigidity, fibromyalgia).
The researchers of the connective tissue, such as Pischinger, later Perger and Heine, proved with their research that the cleansing and restoration of the connective tissue must precede any therapy of a chronic disease.
1.5.3 Regeneration of the connective tissue
The fluid that flushes the healthy connective tissue has the composition of deep-sea seawater. It surrounds the 60 trillion body cells and is responsible for the communication of all these cells.
The connective tissue of the adult has a weight of about 12 kg. It is constantly flushed by 10 to 15 litres of fluid.
The colloidal connective tissue contains a number of high-polymer (large-molecule) sugar and protein complexes (macromolecules) that have gelatinous properties, the glycoproteins.
These are interlinked and form the structural component of connective tissue. In order to build up these highly polymeric, fibre-like chain molecules, it needs the presence of No.4.
Connective tissue regeneration is central to human health on many levels.
Vitamin C stimulates the building of collagen in the connective tissue and protects it from oxidative destruction by free radicals and peroxides and is used, among other things, for the regeneration of colloidal connective tissue.
1.5.4 Regeneration through Schuessler salts
The minerals No. 11 Silicea and No. 9 Natrium phosphoricum are necessary for the breakdown of the hyperacidity in the connective tissue, which has led to the compaction of the same. For the breakdown of the excess protein structures, the organism needs No. 2 Calcium phosphoricum and No. 12 Calcium sulphuricum. For the regeneration of the connective tissue structures the following minerals are necessary: No. 3 Ferrum phosphoricum, No. 4 Potassium chloratum, No. 5 Potassium phosphoricum and No. 8 Natrium chloratum, whereby No. 4 is the main remedy.
In the biochemistry according to Dr. Schüssler, there is the possibility of an excellent combination that relieves and regenerates the connective tissue, as has been achieved, for example, in the Zell Basic from Adler Pharma, where No. 12 Calcium sulphuricum is the main remedy alongside No. 4 Potassium chloratum.
In the meantime it has been used successfully not only for losing weight8 but also as a pack, as a partial or whole pack, to loosen compacts. It has also proved soothing in a special case of scleroderma, a connective tissue collapse, alongside the use of No. 1 Calcium fluoratum, No. 4 Potassium chloratum, No. 5 Potassium phosphoricum, No. 8 Natrium chloratum, No. 9 Natrium phosphoricum, No. 12 Calcium sulphuricum and No. 19 Cuprum arsenicosum.
1.5.5 Minerals according to Dr. Schüssler that build up the colloidal connective tissue
We have already discussed No. 2 Calcium phosphoricum, which is necessary for building up the protein compounds. Above all, No. 2 Calcium phosphoricum is involved in building up the chondrocytes and osteoblasts. It is generally the mineral that is indispensable for building up the body’s proteins. These proteins are then assembled into long-chain molecules. No. 4 potassium chloratum is responsible for this process.
The silicon dioxide is an integral part of the connective tissue substance and ensures cross-linking of the mucopolysaccharides in the connective tissue.
It is responsible for the spatial structure of the connective tissue colloid, No. 1 Calcium fluoratum is responsible for its elasticity. No. 11 Silicea is also important for the transmitter function of the connective tissue between the cells. It stimulates the formation of collagen.
1.6 Fibrous tissue
According to Dr. Schüssler, fibrous tissue is formed with the help of potassium chloratum and protein as fibrous material and is thus contained in almost all cells of the body. If the mineral is needed by the organism to a greater extent, the fibrous tissue is broken down again in order to get to the potassium chloratum. This process triggers violent inflammatory processes in the connective tissue, the fibromyalgias, and the corresponding tissues or body parts, such as the joints, swell up. In contrast to oedema, no imprint remains on these swellings when a finger is pressed on them.
As long as the mineral is not administered in a preparation that it can also incorporate into its structure as an operating substance, it is dependent on the further breakdown of the connective tissue.
1.6.1 Skin grit
The fibrous substances then come to the surface either as a flour-like desquamation9 or as skin grit. These are pinhead-sized, whitish deposits of fibrous material under the skin surface (milia). They cannot be squeezed out because they consist of accumulated compacted fibrous material. It is also possible for the fibrous material to collect in vesicles in which it appears as flour like accumulations (pemphigus).
From the practice: A girl of about 14 years suffered extremely from skin gravel on her upper arms and thighs. The mineral advisor recommended to take some minerals and to use the mineral ointment no.4. Unfortunately, neither the parents nor the girl were open to this healing method, but they thought she should try the ointment. So although the girl only used the ointment for the skin grit, she experienced substantial relief from her ailment. She continued to use the ointment for years and when she changed her home, she felt that she no longer needed anything. At home she had been in a strong electromagnetic field, which put a great strain on the connective tissue, because the organism consumed a great deal of the potassium chloratum for the glandular operation, which was intensified under the influence of electricity. It had been forced to break down connective tissue again and again in order to get hold of this mineral.
