Frequently Asked Questions

No prior knowledge is required. Everything that you need to know (and more) is included in the program. Unlike many other programs, it includes the foundations of biochemistry so you have a good understanding of why the Tissue Salts work, as well as What Schuessler said about each mineral, how each mineral works in the body, signs and symptoms of a deficiency, facial signs and more.

Short courses can give you the basics of the tissue salts and some prescriptions to get started. They cant give you the depth and understanding that this course does. Usually they do not include the biochemic theory. Nor do they include all the facial signs for each of the tissue salts. So when you have a client with more complicated history or presentation you don’t have the basic biochemic understanding to know what else could be going on. This course teaches you not just what you are likely to see, but also why you are likely to see some facial signs or history for one mineral, what could be causing the deficiency, what other minerals the client may need, and why. Consequently our students get better results.

Knowing and understanding the Biochemic principles means that you understand why your prescription is or isn’t working. It also helps you understand what the next step is, and it may even help you know if your client is taking the minerals or not.

Understanding the minerals role in the body means you have a much greater ability to prescribe accurately.

This course enables you to be a Biochemic Practitioner after passing your final assessment. and it makes a great addition to your other modalities. Of course, before you practice you must also check your local, state or national legal requirements, Professional Associations membership requirements or Insurance requirements for practitioners. The Institute of Biochemic Medicine has agreements with various professional associations in a number of countries, so contact them regarding these questions.

If you are already a practitioner, meeting your local legal requirements, you may need to let your professional association and insurance provider know for insurance purposes and legal requirements.

This course teaches “The Clinical Science of Biochemic Therapy”, a scientifically proven evidence based therapy. It is a Continuing Education Module for Doctors, Dentists, Chemists and Veterinary Surgeons and associated modalities in the European Union. It is applicable for Continuing Education Points in many Associations in Australia, and UK, including IICT which is in over 13 countries. Please check with your Association. If we can assist with it being included for your Association, let us know.

No. You don’t need to join any extra associations so don’t have ongoing Association costs after doing this. Continue with your current association and let them know you have completed this course.

Please follow the appropriate requirements for you country. The Clinical Science of Biochemic Therapy Diploma Course is taught in Conjunction with the the Institute of Biochemic Medicine (Asia-Pacific) and is approved and recrgnised by IICT, the International Institute of Complementary Therapists. They provide insurance for practitioners in many countries. Contact IICT for further information.

Some cases are more difficult than others. We have found it makes a big difference if you have a mentor for these cases, to help build confidence when you are starting out. We have experienced resident biochemists on staff who can help to answer these questions. More importantly we want you to learn from such cases, so you can gain confidence. We have a unique system to support you that uses what you already know, combined with a facial photo, and then feedback so that you learn and understand why the particular minerals are needed. This system is unique to this course, and really supports your learning, understanding and confidence in prescribing. One of our goals is to support you in being the best practitioner you can be. It’s amazing how quickly your confidence builds.

We have tips and tricks along the way to help you get the most from the course and become proficient at facial diagnostics and prescribing tissue salts. You have access to a variety of learning styles, including Face to face workshop, weekly e-classes, webinars and manuals.

If you pay $800 you can start now. You receive everything included in the Monthly payment option. AND We will provide links to the book pack containing all the books you need, so that you can get started now. We will also start you on the Online Program. You can also choose which venue you wish to attend for the Live workshop where you can also sit your final Assessment. Every pace and form of learning style is covered.

Yes, not everyone who enrols wants to practice, but some people want really detailed knowledge to help their family. We have some great stories from students who have done this and love how empowered they are in their family’s health afterwards.

Our teaching style reinforces what you learn along the way. You will be amazed at how much you actually know. Please take note of special sections to review. Previous participants have often commented on how much they actually know.

Tissue Salts are the key minerals that the body uses for every function within the body. they are sometimes called Biochemic Minerals, or Cell Salts because they are in a dose that is working at the cellular level, affecting the biochemistry of the body. If any of these minerals are out of balance, then you start to experience facial signs and/or symptoms. Provide the right minerals in the right dose, and symptoms change, often quite quickly. The diploma course teaches you how to recognise the signs of mineral deficiency and how to treat those deficiencies with Tissue Salts. It also teaches you how to work out why those deficiencies are happening, and how to get to the cause of the issue.

Dr. (Med) Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler (1821-1898) was a Medical Doctor, Midwife, and Homoeopath. Schuessler was convinced that missing inorganic mineral salts would result in illness. He was inspired by the works of Ductch physiologist Jacob Moleschott who realised that phosphorus was essential for the nervous system. and Rudolf Virchow, who stated in his work “Cellular Pathology” (which remains relevent today) that “every sickness or illness is a result of a disruption of the cells” and Schuessler was convinced that the missing inorganic mineral salts would result in illness, so if you “add the missing mineral salt, you normalize cell metabolism”

His research analysing the bodys mineral content confirmed the connection between the change of minerals and the casue of illness.

In 1873 he published his results “A shortened therapy based on Histology and Cellular Pathology.

The Biologist Guenther Carl Stahlkopf scientifically proved Schuessler’s theory in 1972 by experimenting with (No1) Calcium Fluoride, (No3) Ferrum Phosphate and (No11) Silica on mono-cells. Depke and hickethier have also confirmed and added to the Facial signs and symptoms recognised by Dr Schuessler for the mineral Deficiencies.

There are many different brands of Tissue Salts. I cannot give you recommendations as different brands are available in Different countries. However, In the course I give you links to the Institute of Biochemic Medicine who can help with how to access suppliers in many countries throughout Asia, Europe, Africa and US.
