Quotations

• The purpose of the anthroposophischen medicine consists of arriving at "“a riper degree of the higher personality centers over the low with which the health resets itself"”.

• "“Around an opposition against the medicine working with the recognized scientific methods of the present it does not act. This is fully recognized by us in its principles. And we have the opinion that from us the giving only that is to use in the medical art, which can be in the sense of these principles fully valid in law physician. However we add still further realizations, which are found by other methods to what one can know with the scientific methods recognized today over humans, and see ourselves forced to work from this extended world and people realization also for an extension of the medical art. (...) We see the extension of the world and people realization in the Anthroposophie justified by Rudolf Steiner."”
