And in this case, one will find something in the area where the lungs unfold towards the front. And there it will be a matter of finding further dilations in some area of the lungs, expansions, for this shrinking - it is a shrinking process. Perhaps it is not in the lung area; it could even be in the bone of one of the ribs. That would have to be looked for. Then it would be a matter of using something that is suitable for balancing the formation of the human body. Now we have a substance that is excellently suited for balancing traumas. That is tobacco. Injected in dilution, it proves to be what balances deformities. If the aim is to bring the remedy to work freely in the organism, phosphorus must be used. Then it will certainly be possible to achieve healing processes in this way. It can definitely be said that healing processes will be achieved if the person concerned is under twenty-eight years of age. But it is not impossible, especially in women, to achieve healing processes even at a later age. And when you have very stubborn natures that are very reluctant, you would have to get them to be cheered up artificially, to cheer up their growth forces, their vital forces a little, and in this way promote the effect. That is what I mean, that in such a case you could do that.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"First Discussion","site_heading":"Etheric Plant Forces and Spiritual Diagnosis in Therapy","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.

Und man wird schon in diesem Falle im Bereich der Lungenentfaltung nach vorne irgend etwas finden. Und da wird es sich darum handeln, daß man höchstwahrscheinlich für diese Schrumpfung - es ist ein Schrumpfungsprozeß — Weiterungen in irgendeinem Lungenbereich, Ausdehnungen findet. Vielleicht ist es nicht im Lungenbereich; es könnte sogar im Knochen irgendeiner der Rippen sein. Das wird man suchen müsser, Dann wird es sich darum handeln, etwas zu verwenden, was geeignet ist, die Formation des menschlichen Körpers auszugleichen. Nun haben wir einen Stoff, der sich in ganz vorzüglicher Weise eignet, Traumatik auszugleichen. Das ist Tabak. Injiziert in Verdünnung erweist er sich als das, was Deformationen ausgleicht. Handelt es sich darum, daß man das Mittel zur freien Wirkung im Organismus bringen soll, muß man dazu Phosphor anwenden. Dann wird man auf diese Weise ganz sicher Heilungsprozesse erzielen können. Man kann unbedingt sagen, man werde Heilungsprozesse erzielen, wenn der Betreffende unter achtundzwanzig Jahren alt ist. Aber es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, besonders bei Frauen, daß auch noch im späteren Alter Heilungsprozesse erzielt werden. Und wenn man sehr hartnäckige Naturen hat, die sehr widerstreben, müßte man diese dazu bringen, daß sie künstlich aufgeheitert werden, daß man ihre Wachstumskräfte, ihre Vitalkräfte etwas aufheitert und auf diese Weise die Wirkung fördert. Das ist, was ich meine, daß man in einem solchen Falle machen könnte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":256,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1924-04-22/p034"}],"english":["GA 314/1924-04-22/p034"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":256,"en_words":278,"ratio":1.09,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5932,"original_word_count":5669,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Meetings with Practicing Physicians","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA314/English/SOL2025/19240422m01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
