{"product_id":"9781855840805","title":"Extending Practical Medicine 5\/e","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eIn this classic introductory work on spiritual medicine, Rudolf Steiner worked in a unique literary collaboration with the physician Ita Wegman. Their aim was to revitalize the art of healing through spiritual knowledge—yet in so doing they did not underrate or dismiss modern allopathic medicine; rather, they illumined ordinary medicine beyond its materialistic outlook to a fuller realization of the human condition. As Ita Wegman wrote in her preface: \"The aim was not to underestimate scientific medicine in an amateurish way; it was given full recognition. But it was important to add to existing knowledge the insights that can come from true perception of the spirit, enabling us to understand the processes of illness and healing.\"   Today this new extension of practical medicine—generally called “anthroposophical medicine\"—is used and valued by many physicians in numerous clinics around the world.  \u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Foreword by Dr. Michael Evans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Understanding the True Nature of Man as a Basis of Medical Practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Why Do People Fall Ill?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Phenomena of Life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e On the Nature of the Sentient Organism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Plant, Animal, Man\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Blood and Nerve\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Nature of Medicinal Actions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Activities in the Human Organism – Diabetes Mellitus\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Role of Protein in the Human Body and Proteinuria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Role of Fat in the Human Organism and Deceptive Local Symptom Complexes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Configuration of the Human Body and Gout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e On the Nature of Illness and Healing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Therapeutic Way of Thinking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Method of Treatment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Perceiving Medicinal Qualities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Perceiving the Nature of Substances as a Basis of Pharmacognosy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Eurythmy Therapy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Characteristic Illnesses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Typical Medicines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e This volume is a translation from the German of \u003cem\u003eGrundlegendes für eine Erweiterung der Heilkunst nach geisteswissenschaflichen Erkenntnissen\u003c\/em\u003e (GA 27).\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RUDOLF STEINER PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51415949934866,"sku":"9781855840805","price":31.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781855840805.jpg?v=1774734128","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781855840805","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
