Phosphate
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a genetic disorder that is most common in males. About 1 in 10 African American males in the United States has it. G6PD deficiency mainly affects red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. The most common medical problem it can cause is hemolytic anemia. That happens when red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them.
If you have G6PD deficiency, you may not have symptoms. Symptoms happen if your red blood cells are exposed to certain chemicals in food or medicine, certain bacterial or viral infections, or stress. They may include:
- Paleness
- Jaundice
- Dark urine
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Enlarged spleen
- Rapid heart rate
A blood test can tell if you have it. Treatments include medicines to treat infection, avoiding substances that cause the problem with red blood cells, and sometimes transfusions.

Physician's Materia Medica on Phosphate
   Alkaloid from GOLDEN-SEAL and some other related plants. Bit ter tonic, hepatic stimulant, antiperiodic. The Hydrochloride is the salt most used. The sulphate and phosphate have' identical proper ties, and have the advantage of being more soluble. Dose of either, 0.06 to 0.25 Grm. (1 to 4 grs.).2

   The root of HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENs, Lin. Diuretic. antilithic; in large doses cathartic. Prescribed with good results in renal colic, especially when due to deposits of phosphates.2
   Calcium Phosphate plays an important part in the animal econ omy in supplying the principal part of the solid framework of the body. Hence phosphates constitute an essential part of our food. In some diseased conditions the system fails to assimilate from the ordi nary food suflicient of these compounds to supply the daily waste, and in these conditions the deficiency must be made up by the use of chemicalfonds consisting of combinations of the phosphates of cal. cium, sodium, potassium and iron2
   Laxative and hepatic stimulant, sub-alkaline; prescribed to regulate the bowels in infancy, and as a remedy for morbid conditions dependant on torpidity of the liver. Dose for infants, 0.15 to 0.25 Grm. (2 to 4 grs.) several times a day; for adults as a hepatic stimulant, 1 to 4 Grru. (15 to 60 grs.), as a laxative 4 to 15 Grm. (1 to 4 drachms) or more.2
