Phosphates
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.

PHOSPHATES
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 iron1

NEURASTHENIA
The remedies indicated are tonics and poborants; hypophosphites (Eupeptic or Vitalic), glycerophosphates, phosphorus, hematics, arse nic; Solution Gold and Arsenic Bromide, N., B. & Co. Change of oc cupation and scene, exercise in the open air as it can be borne, electricity, are often of more value than medication.1

RACHITIS
The disease is one of non-assimilation, the remedies, 1st general tonics and nutrients; cod liver oil. quinine, copper arsenite, syrup ferrous iodide, Haemo-Mangan; 2d Bone lood; phosphorus. glycero phosphates, hypophosphites, lacto-phosphates, Eupeptic Hypophos phites, N., B. & Co. Thyroid extract and suprarenal extract have given good results. Improve hygienic condition of patient and prescribe massage and passive exercise when this is practicable.1
