NUTRITION AND HEALTH

ADVANCED LEVEL

“The nutritive forces in man are carried over into the breathing system. And whilst they continue to work further in the breathing system they become not only forces to appease hunger and quench thirst; not only the repairing forces of the human being, but the inwardly correcting forces for the sick. He who rightly understands nutrition understands the beginning of the healing process. The healing forces in us are the metamorphoses of the nourishing forces.”

Rudolf Steiner
