Large quantities of pus were drained off by aspiration. The abscess shrank and the swelling of the abdomen decreased as the pus formation steadily diminished and finally disappeared. While the pus was still flowing, we were surprised one day by a renewed rise in temperature. This did not seem inexplicable to us, since, given the constitution of the astral body described above, even slight psychic agitation can cause such fever. However, one must distinguish between the explicability of the fever in such cases and its severely damaging effect. For under the given conditions, such fever is virtually the mediator for a profound intervention of the catabolic processes in the organism. And one must immediately ensure a strengthening of the etheric body so that it paralyzes the damaging effect of the astral body. We used highly potentized silver injections and achieved a decrease in fever. The patient left the clinic with a 20-pound weight gain and in a strengthened condition. We are under no illusion that in this case, a follow-up treatment is still needed to consolidate the healing.\"","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Second Discussion","site_heading":"Astral-Etheric Imbalance: Spiritual Diagnosis and Constitutional Remedy","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.

Es entleerten sich durch Aspiration große Eitermengen. Der Abszeß ging zurück und die Bauchschwellung nahm ab, indem die Eiterbildung stetig nachließ und zuletzt verschwand. Während der Eiter noch floß, wurden wir eines Tages überrascht durch einen erneuten Fieberanstieg. Derselbe erschien uns nicht unerklärlich, da bei der oben geschilderten Konstitution des Astralleibes geringe psychische Aufregungen solches Fieber bewirken können. Man muß aber unterscheiden zwischen der Erklärlichkeit des Fiebers in solchen Fällen und seiner stark schädigenden Wirkung. Denn es ist unter den angegebenen Voraussetzungen solches Fieber geradezu der Vermittler für ein tiefgehendes Eingreifen der Abbauprozesse in den Organismus. Und man muß sogleich für eine Stärkung des Ätherleibes sorgen, damit diese die schädigende Wirkung des Astralleibes paralysiert. Wir wandten hochpotenzierte Silberinjektionen an und erreichten Rückgang des Fiebers. - Patientin hat die Klinik mit 20 Pfund Gewichtszunahme und in gestärktem Zustande verlassen. Wir geben uns keiner Täuschung darüber hin, daß in diesem Falle noch eine Nachkur die Heilung befestigen muß.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":163,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1924-04-23/p063"}],"english":["GA 314/1924-04-23/p063"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":163,"en_words":186,"ratio":1.14,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.11,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6946,"original_word_count":6284,"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/SOL2025/19240423m01.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.
