Illness and Healing in the Context of Cosmic Evolution

Illness and Healing in the Context of Cosmic Evolution asks the important question: What is illness and how should we regard it? Must we fear it? The author rejects the conventional “cellular” account of disease and explores instead its origins in the individual’s and mankind’s cultural and spiritual past. The role of mistletoe (Iscador) in the anthroposophical approach to cancer is discussed in depth.

About the Author

Dr. Rita Leroi, wife of Alexandre Leroi, was the first head physician at the Lukas Klinik. As a representative of anthroposophic cancer therapy and as a clinic director, she was widely known, not least abroad and also in non-anthroposophical specialist circles. With great drive and persuasiveness, she won the trust of the surrounding hospitals and made Iscador therapy known at home and abroad. She ran the clinic until her death in 1988.
