	anthroposophic medicine
		Anthroposophic medicine (AM) is medicine that has been infused with the teachings of Rudolf Steiner.
		Chief among these teachings is that the body is not an independent material organism and that good health depends on a harmonious relationship between the physical body, spirit or vital force, the soul, and the ego.
		However, a remarkable part of anthroposophic specialities is produced using specific pharmaceutical procedures according to the anthroposophic understanding of the human body.

		As such, anthroposophic medicine integrates theories and practices of modern medicine with alternative, nature-based treatments and a spiritual-scientific understanding of the human being.
		Many anthroposophic remedies are specially prepared using homeopathic or modern alchemical pharmaceutical processes to naturally stimulate healing processes in the ill person.

		Anthroposophic medicine is an extension of conventional Western medicine developed in the 1920s by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist, educator, artist and philosopher, in conjunction with European physicians (Steiner also founded Waldorf education).
		Anthroposophic doctors look at human beings as more than simply mechanical beings: they are bodies with a life force, a soul and a spirit.
		In anthroposophic medicine, health results not from the absence of illness, as in conventional medicine, but from a good balance between the head (which has a cooling, contracting, forming energy) and the body's lower region, which includes most of the internal organs and has a warming, expanding, dissolving energy.

	Waldorf Critics Archive 0207 (July, 2002)
		Anthroposophical Medicine, based on lectures Steiner gave to doctors among his devotees, depends on a world-view that, despite public claims to the contrary, is explicitly hostile to modern science.
		Anthroposophical Medicine is an extension of regular, academically based medicine which integrates allopathic medicine and considered by some members of our faculty to be Anthroposophical world conceptions.[sic] Anthroposophy is a way of conducting research and enhancing one's abilities to penetrate the phenomenon of nature and the human being.
		The spiritually advanced will be well prepared by the Anthroposophical movement to remember their "I" and have the power to recognize those that they worked with on Earth, they will find each other in the after life so that they may reincarnate together in core groups spread around the Earth.

		Anthroposophic medicine is an esoteric explanation of how the four bodies interplay with the three-fold functional processes.
		So when laws are passed that control and limit our use of vitamins, minerals and herbs, we simply have to state our knowledge in esoteric and Anthroposophic terminology so that we are free to teach the spiritual wisdom of essential oils.

	Supporting Children's Health
		Many years ago, Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian scientist and founder of the Anthroposophic approach to medicine, argued that childhood illnesses are a standard feature of childhood because the young body needs them.
		While in the view of physicians practicing Anthroposophic medicine it is crucial to not suppress the illness with drugs or antibiotics, we offer many remedies to parents to support the discharging--we call it "the expressing"--of the illness, driving it out of the body.
