The potentization problem
Sune Nordwall - thebee@hem.passagen.se
Some viewpoints from an
anthroposophical perspective. In anthroposophical
medicine one among other things uses
warmth-processes and rhythmic processes to
produce medicines from different substances. The
warmth-processes are described more closely
elsewhere in this issue (of Nord J Anthr Med). I
will therefore concentrate this description on
the rhythmic processes, and especially the
potentizing process.

Steiner and Homoeopathy
Peter Morrell - pmorr1sc@stokecoll.ac.uk
To a modern medical metaphysician,
it seems fairly obvious that both Steiner and
Hahnemann built their systems upon the same
bedrock of Paracelsian thought. Certainly, the
end products are different, but they seem to
share a common base. The question then becomes to
what extent was this done consciously by
Hahnemann?
Anthroposophy
also has some very clear links with Thomas
Maughan's ideas. Maughan's and Steiner's views on
the Subtle Body, Karma, Rebirth and Chakras are
strongly convergent and are probably imported
from oriental religions via Theosophy. They also
shared these beliefs with Radionic theorists like
David Tansley (a writer strongly influenced by
Theosophy and by Alice Bailey), whose many books
have profoundly influenced the development of
radionics in the last 40 years. Practically all
the above concepts - whatever their origin - are
now in general use within the alternative health,
self-development and New Age movements. The Bach
Flower Therapy also comes close to metaphysics
and homoeopathy in defining and matching essence
states between person and remedy and also in the
emphasis it places upon similarities and
non-causal reasoning.
