“We must understand what happens in the process of nutrition if we want to have the right background for an understanding of the various agricultural problems.

We must know what it really means to give humankind the right food, which will enable a person to build up a healthy body in which his or her soul and spirit activities can live and develop.”

— Eugen Kolisko, M.D. and Lili Kolisko

“Why are natural and alchemical medicines so fundamentally different from synthetic, modern medicines? Where synthetic medicines force the organism to do something or artificially replace what is missing, natural and alchemical medicines have the character of asking it to stimulate a balance or to take over something that the Ego [the higher I] cannot do on its own at the moment.

In natural and alchemical medicines, the qualities of the substances themselves and the will of the person using them come together. These medicines leave people free, they do not coerce. Indeed, they only work effectively if the person wants them to.”

— Volker Fintelmann, M.D. (our translation)
