ARD Wissen - Frank Seibert and anthroposophical medicine - On the trail of anthroposophy
Rebirth, mistletoe against cancer, harp music in intensive care: Anthroposophical medicine offers a spiritual view of illness + healing that also raises many questions. Can one trust a medicine that practices with an esoteric doctrine? Against the background of accusations that anthroposophists are against vaccination, reporter Frank Seibert enters the world of anthroposophic medicine.
He is present when mistletoe juice is administered against cancer, he meets people who were ill for months as children and were not given effective medication. He also learns how a modern hospital combines an esoteric view of the world with the latest scientific knowledge and how patients are cared for with compassion. Frank Seibert experiences a stirring journey that leads him to the essential questions about illness + health. At the end he answers the question: Can anthroposophical medicine, from his point of view, keep its promise and effectively complement scientific medicine?
