Rationelle Therapie chronischer Lungenerkrankungen aus der Sicht der anthroposophischen Medizin

Journal/Book: Erfahrungsheilkunde 45 (4), 254-258. 1996;

Abstract: An efficient therapy has to result from the understanding of pathology.On the one hand, the organ where an intrinsic or acquired weakness canexist has to be taken into consideration; on the other hand it has to bedistinguished between a chronic inflammatory and a degenerative process,which might cause a proliferation. A typical weakness of an organ ispresent in the case of tuberculosis, a rare disease today, which is nota question of infection. The number of lung carcinomas has increased,which can be understood from the nature of the organ lung as well asfrom the nature of the carcinoma. In this case, the treatment withmistletoe has been successful very often. The problem for thepractitioner is the chronic bronchitis with the transition to pulmonaryfibrosis as well as asthma, emphysema, bronchiec-tases etc. The ancientphysicians at least until Paracelsus knew much better how to healchronic diseases than today's physicians: the chronic disease is turnedinto an acute one which is healed. This also shows why bronchitisbecomes chronic; it is, because the acute phase is suppressed. That e.g.antibiotics do not act on the disease but on the bacteria is known, butit is not taken into consideration. That the defence is weakened by alowering of the fever is known in theory but not in practice. The fearof fever still dominates the "therapy". A chronic bronchitis can be"stimulated", i.e. made acute with the help of a mustard formentation orby administering Hepar sulf. D4. Essential oils are also active in thisrespect, while the organ lung can be strengthened with mercury of mediumpotency. Asthma requires a more explicit presentation, which isdescribed with the help of an impressive case. This is also the casewith fibrosis.COPYRIGHT BY Medical Information Service, British Library END OF DOCUMENT
