But they should be applied in a rational manner. Institutions for the treatment of tuberculous persons are often breeding grounds for tuberculosis. If tuberculous persons are to be collected and crowded together in special institutions, then these institutions should be dissolved and replaced by others as often as possible. There should, in fact, be a time limit for their dispersion and removal. For this disease has the peculiarity that its victims are extremely liable to secondary infections. A case which may be by no means hopeless, becomes serious if it is surrounded by severe cases of tuberculosis. For the present, however, I am referring to the specific nature of tuberculosis. And it offers a striking example of the interaction of various processes in the human organism. As you will observe, such processes are dominated by the polarity of the upper and lower spheres, which correspond to one another as positive and negative images. The particularly striking phenomena which lead to tuberculosis following the special organic constitution which I have indicated, may be followed up; and they reveal in their future development a general concept of the true nature of disease. Let us take the most frequent symptoms of an individual who is an incipient tuberculous case. Tuberculosis is in his future, and his present state prepares for it. We find perhaps that he coughs, feels pain in the throat and chest, and perhaps also in his limbs; there will be certain states of exhaustion and fatigue; and there will be profuse sweating at night.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"The Heart as Mediating Organ: Upper and Lower Polarities","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Nur sollte man sie im rationellen Sinne wirklich verwenden. Die 'Tuberkuloseanstalten sind ja manchmal gerade Brutanstalten für die Tuberkulose. Wenn man die Tuberkulösen schon zusammenpfercht in Tuberkuloseanstalten, so sollte man diese Tuberkuloseanstalten, soviel man kann, immer wiederum abbrechen und durch andere ersetzen. Nach einer bestimmten Zeit sollten Tuberkuloseanstalten eigentlich immer entfernt werden. Denn das ist das Eigentümliche, daß die Tuberkulösen selber die allergrößte Anlage haben, angesteckt zu werden, das heißt, daß ihre vielleicht sonst ausbesserbare Krankheit vielleicht schlimmer wird, wenn sie in der Nähe von schwereren Tuberkulosekranken sind. Aber ich wollte ja vorläufig zunächst nur auf das Wesen der Tuberkulose hinweisen. Wir sehen gerade bei der Tuberkulose als an einem Beispiel, wie gewissermaßen ineinandergreifen müssen die verschiedenen Prozesse am menschlichen Organismus, die ja, wie Sie sich denken können, immer unter dem Einflusse dieser Tatsache stehen müssen, daß wir es eben mit der oberen und mit der unteren Organisation zu tun haben, die einander so entsprechen, wie positives Bild und negatives Bild einander entgegengesetzt sind. Man kann an den, ich möchte sagen, ganz auffälligsten Erscheinungen, welche die Tuberkulose zunächst vorbereiten, indem eine solche Konstitution des Organismus vorhanden ist, wie ich sie dargelegt habe, in ihrem Verlaufe dann weiter studieren, wie überhaupt das Krankheitswesen anzuschauen ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":226,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/312/1920-03-22/p015"},{"locus":"GA 312/1920-03-22/p016","passage_number":16,"text":"Nehmen wir die gebräuchlichste Erscheinung eines Menschen, der etwa ein angehender Tuberkulosekranker ist, bei dem also die Tuberkulose eigentlich erst in der Zukunft liegt, sich vorbereitet.
