Re Anthroposophic Medicine

[Guest guest]

Im a big steiner fan, but i did not go to a Steiner school, in fact i

went to one of the very worst, thus the admiration. However, given what

i know, id expect that the vast majority of bad Dr. I have seen went to

schools where they were also not taught to think. I would hope that a

Steiner trained Dr. would be more open to offering long term multi abx,

AF, if they had the knowledge and experience. Alas I see all too many

who are on the fringes of 'alternative' who have IMO mistakenly cast

the allopathic system in the same bucket as allopathic drugs, which

clearly are not one and the same. For the allopathic systems

institutional resistance to 'sound treatment' there have and are some

of the most important thinkers nestled in amongst this quagmire. In the

alternative world however, you are much more than likely to find

'Steiner kids' where there is little to offer except so-called miracle

cures that are more than likely snake oil salesmen in cloak.

The problem I think is not a result of what one would expect, rather it

is caused by the endocrine system that contains the business world. I

am not a big fan of Ayn Rand and I realize all too well her faults, but

IMO she correctly depicted the cause of the travesties that we are

victim. In her theory, the problem is caused by distortion in markets

(in this case by government sanctioned approval and license) of Drs..

In Ayn Rands perfect world 'lassie fair' capitalism (not to be confused

with the so-called capitalism that we are living in) given her idea of

'lassie fair' meant in practice a world without government as we know

it, that respect and earned admiration would result in a class system

of Drs. who would be elevated by way of their success in the market

rather than as is now, their ability to pass exams.
