Suppose we have to do with some disturbance of the digestive system—such as we usually include under the word ‘dyspepsia.’ If we again proceed according to Spiritual Science, we shall discover that here we have to do principally with a faulty and inadequate working of the Ego-organisation. Why is the Ego-organisation not acting strongly enough? That is the question. And we must search somewhere in the functional regions of the human organism for what it is that is causing this weakness of the Ego-organisation. In certain cases we find that the fault lies in the gallbladder secretions. If that is so, then we must come to the assistance of the Ego-organisation (just as we came to the assistance of the kidneys with the equisetum) by administering something which, if it reaches the required spot by being prepared in a certain way, will there strengthen the inadequate working of the Ego-organisation. Thus, even as we find that the silicic acid process (which lies at the root of the nerves-and-senses system) when introduced in the right way to the kidneys enhances their sense-faculty, so we now find that such a process as the gall-bladder secretions (which corresponds primarily with the Ego-organisation) is really connected in quite a special manner (also in relation to other things) with the action of carbon. Now a remarkable thing to be observed is that if we wish to introduce carbon into the organism in the correct way for treating dyspepsia, we find that carbon—(though it is contained in *every* plant)—is contained in *chichorium intybus* (chicory) in a form that directly affects the gall-bladder. When we know how to make the correct preparation from *chicorium intybus*, we can lead it over into the functions of this organ as a certain form of carbon-process, in the same way as is done with regard to the silicic-acid process and the kidneys.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture II","site_heading":"Integration and Disintegration: Spiritual Science in Healing","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.

Indem man wieder so geisteswissenschaftlich vorgeht, wie ich es charakterisiert habe, wird man durchschauen können, daß es sich vorzugsweise um eine fehlerhafte, nicht stark genug wirkende Ich-Organisation handelt. Warum wirkt diese Ich-Organisation nicht stark genug? Das ist jetzt die Frage. Und wir müssen irgendwo im Funktionieren des menschlichen Organismus suchen, was da zugrunde liegt, daß die Ich-Organisation nicht stark genug wirkt. Wir werden in bestimmten Fällen finden, daß eine mangelhafte Gallenabsonderung vorhanden ist. In solchem Falle müssen wir der Ich-Organisation dadurch zu Hilfe kommen, daß wir ebenso, wie wir es vorher mit dem Equisetum gegenüber der Nierenfunktion getan haben, es nun gegenüber der Gallenabsonderungsfunktion auch dazu bringen, dem Organismus irgend etwas zuzuführen, was, wenn es durch seine Zusammensetzung an seinen richtigen Platz kommt, einer zu schwach wirkenden Ich-Organisation hilft. Ebenso wie wir finden, daß der Kieselsäureprozeß, wenn er in der richtigen Weise — als der Prozeß, der dem normal funktionierenden Nerven-Sinnessystem zugrunde liegt - in die Niere eingeführt wird, ihre Sinnesfähigkeit hebt, so finden wir, daß Prozesse wie die Gallenabsonderung, die vorzugsweise der Ich-Organisation entsprechen, nun zusammenhängen mit einer ganz bestimmten Art, wie — mit anderen im Verhältnis zusammen - Kohlenstoff im Organismus wirkt. Da stellt sich zum Beispiel das Merkwürdige heraus: Wenn wir den Kohlenstoff in der richtigen Weise so in den Organismus einführen wollen, daß wir gerade der Dyspepsie begegnen, dann finden wir, daß der Kohlenstoff, der ja natürlich in jeder Pflanze enthalten ist, gerade im Cichorium intybus so enthalten ist, daß er hindirigiert wird zum Gallenfunktionsorgan. Wenn wir aus Cichorium intybus das richtige Präparat zu gewinnen wissen, dann leiten wir in derselben Art einen gewissen Kohlenstoffprozeß zur Gallenfunktion hin, wie wir mit dem Equisetumpräparat einen Kieselsäureprozeß in die Niere hineinbringen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":310,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/319/1924-07-21_02/p023"}],"english":["GA 319/1924-07-21_02/p036"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":310,"en_words":317,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6510,"original_word_count":6332,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"APC1928","book_title":"What can the Art of Healing Gain through Spiritual Science","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA319/English/APC1928/19240721p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
