In diphtheria, the skin suddenly becomes weak and subdued. The activity of the skin is too weak, so a person with diphtheria suffers from too little exchange of air through the skin. Indeed, this is the main problem. The skin, including the skin of the nose exposed to the external surroundings, does not breathe enough, and it becomes too weak. The in-streaming activity, indicated in my sketch by the arrows, no longer functions properly, and the heart senses this. The heart also senses that the kidneys work upward. What is it that the kidneys are doing? The heart can no longer restrain the activity of the kidneys, which shoots upward. Long before inflammation of the kidneys, that is, nephritis, sets in, the activity of the kidneys is already shooting upward. Because the skin activity is no longer working effectively from outside, superfluous skin forms on the inside. Because the, skin's activity from the outside is not working properly, a superfluous skin is formed, filling everything out, because the kidneys' activity is too strong.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Bei der Diphtherie fängt plötzlich die Haut an, zu schwach tätig zu sein. Es ist einfach zu schwache Tätigkeit, der Mensch entwickelt zu wenig Auswechslung der Luft durch die Haut. Das ist sogar die Hauptsache dabei. Er entwickelt zu wenig Auswechslung der Luft durch die Haut, durch die Haut der Nase auch, was auch an der Außenwelt ist. Also die Hauttätigkeit wird eine zu geringe. Dadurch gehen diese Strahlungen, die ich da aufgezeichnet habe, nicht ordentlich. Das Herz spürt das. Das Herz spürt, daß die Nieren herauf arbeiten. Aber was tun diese Nieren? Das Herz kann nun diese Nierentätigkeit nicht mehr aufhalten; die Nierentätigkeit schießt nach oben. Lange bevor die Nierenentzündung entsteht, die Nieren sich entzünden, schießt schon die Nierentätigkeit nach oben. Und weil die Hauttätigkeit nicht richtig von außen wirkt, bildet sich im Innern eine überflüssige Haut. Das ist die Haut (siehe Zeichnung S. 269), die sich im Innern bilder. Also weil die Hauttätigkeit von außen nicht in Ordnung ist, bildet sich von innen eine überflüssige Haut. Und die füllt alles aus, weil die Nierentätigkeit zu stark ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":185,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/348/1923-01-20/p022"}],"english":["GA 348/1923-01-20/p021"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":185,"en_words":181,"ratio":0.98,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.93,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5317,"original_word_count":5735,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maria St. Goar","identified_edition":"AP1983","book_title":"Health and Illness, Volume II","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA348/English/AP1983/19230120p01.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.
