Celery
Herb
Both celery seeds and the juice of celery stalks are used
as a herb to promote alkalinization and as a mild diuretic. These effects may
act together to reduce the inflammation of arthritis, and celery seed extract is
commonly used by natural medicine practitioners in arthritis treatment. The
juice of celery stalks is a rich source of organic sodium which is said to help
counteract some of the harmful effects of inorganic sodium chloride.
Cell membrane
The outer membrane of the cell, which controls the entry of
nutrients into the cell and the release of wastes. Also known as the plasma
membrane, it consists of a thin layer of phospholipid and cholesterol molecules
in which proteins are embedded. A variety of binding sites are located on the
outer surface of the cell membrane, for the attachment of hormones and other
chemical messengers. The cell membrane can therefore receive chemical signals
which regulate the cell's activity. Chemical reactions can also take place on
the inner or outer surface of the cell membrane. Other roles include
cell-to-cell recognition and communication. Fatty acids are converted to
prostaglandins in the cell
membrane. Free radical damage to the cell membrane reduces the membrane's ability to transport nutrients, oxygen and water into the cell and to regulate the excretion of waste matter from the cell. Free radical damage can also cause cell membranes to rupture.
Celloid minerals
Supplements prepared from the inorganic minerals originally
identified by Dr Wilhelm Schüssler in Germany in 1873, using a process
developed by Dr Maurice Blackmore of Australia in 1938. The minerals are:
