Also called Anthroposophically Extended M.Anthroposophical Medicine DefinitionA holistic approach to medicine beginning with fundamental western biomedicine and also incorporates approaches and therapeutics from two alternative medicine movements: naturopathy and homeopathy, then adding spiritual scientific studies outlined by Rudolf Steiner. The result is an integrated image of the whole human being in illness and in health. This makes it possible to have both an holistic and rational approach to physiology, pathology and therapy. Anthroposophically extended medicine is most prominent in Europe, but there are an estimated 30 to 100 M.D.s in the United States who practice it also. To stimulate healing hundreds of uniquely formulated medications are used each seeking to match the key dynamic forces in plants, animals, and minerals with disease processes in humans. Much research in anthroposophically extended medicine has been connected with attempts to understand the nature of disease, assess treatments qualitatively, and understand how the essential properties of the objects under investigation could be applied in therapy.
