Polarities in Illness and Heal

Consider, for a moment, unformed substance with its inherent forces. Now consider another kind of force which molds substance into specific  shapes.Rudolf Steiner calls these force- polarities “albuminizing” and “antimonizing” forces and shows how they exist in all human illness. Healing is the process of balancing the two. In this lecture, Dr. Steiner explains this polarity as it relates to migraine, typhus, and tuberculosis. He speaks also of physical and mental illnesses, anthroposophical therapeutic endeavors and curative eurythmy.
