In this collection of \u003cbr\u003eaddresses, discussions, question-and-answer sessions and lectures – \u003cbr\u003erunning parallel to his major medical cycles – Steiner comments on \u003cbr\u003econtemporary medicine’s emphasis on experimental, materially-based \u003cbr\u003eresearch and its subsequent lack of attention to therapy. Steiner’s \u003cbr\u003eintention is not to detract from developments in medical science but to \u003cbr\u003ebuild on them with spiritual science – not quackery but a true art of \u003cbr\u003emedicine. The medical practitioner has an important task: diseases must \u003cbr\u003ebe cured, and it is wrong not to intervene and simply to allow ‘karma to\u003cbr\u003e take its course’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeaking\u003cbr\u003e to audiences ranging from members of the general public to small groups\u003cbr\u003e of medical professionals, Steiner offers new insights into our \u003cbr\u003eunderstanding of human organs such as the brain, kidneys and liver, as \u003cbr\u003ewell as the efficacy of healing substances including arsenic, sulphur, \u003cbr\u003earnica and essential plant oils. He studies a broad range of specific \u003cbr\u003emedical conditions, giving advice on cancer, hysteria, rheumatism, gout,\u003cbr\u003e skin eruptions, typhoid, diabetes, haemophilia, syphilis, gonorrhoea, \u003cbr\u003easthma, glaucoma, leukaemia, smallpox, insomnia, and childhood diseases \u003cbr\u003esuch as measles. His commentaries on a raft of contrasting subjects – \u003cbr\u003esuch as psychiatry, sexual maturity, memory, poisoning and \u003cbr\u003edetoxification – present challenging perspectives for patients and \u003cbr\u003emedical practitioners. Steiner’s surprisingly non-dogmatic advice on \u003cbr\u003evaccination, for example, gives a refreshingly balanced, and perhaps \u003cbr\u003eunexpected, point of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis\u003cbr\u003e volume also includes a lecture on eurythmy therapy, a comprehensive \u003cbr\u003eintroduction, index and notes, and nine full colour plates of Rudolf \u003cbr\u003eSteiner’s blackboard drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outliers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52965430985015,"sku":null,"price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/3633\/0295\/files\/20908143482848.jpg?v=1788925805","url":"https:\/\/outliersbooks.shop\/products\/physiology-and-healing-treatment-therapy-and-hygiene-spiritual-science-and-medicine","provider":"Outliers Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
