c. Treatment of the rising fever by, for example, adding external warmth in the form of a<br />
hot water bottle on areas that are cold, can decrease the involuntary movements of<br />
chattering teeth <strong>and</strong> cold chills (see 6.2.1.a.)<br />
d. Antibiotic therapy of regular medicine in infectious processes is designed to stop<br />
bacterial overgrowth <strong>and</strong> kill bacteria. Various types of antibiotics are used, but, as<br />
mentioned above, there is increasing multiple drug resistance in the pathogens that<br />
are involved in pneumonia (Harrison’s 2008). Curbing in the bacterial growth can help<br />
consolidate the dissolving inflammation process.<br />
Homeopathically diluted phosphorus is used in anthroposophical medicine to<br />
support pneumonia treatment. The combination of its relation to form on the one h<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> metabolism on the other enables phosphorus, in the form of Ferrum phosphoricum,<br />
to be a medication in pneumonia. It stimulates the balance between metabolic <strong>and</strong><br />
formative processes in the lung, as well as supports the needed increase in metabolism.<br />
Once the infection is under control, the metabolic process will, with the aid of Ferrum<br />
phosphoricum, once again find easier access to its original localization: the digestive<br />
system (Vademecum 2009 p. 250-253; Schönau 2005, p. 126; Tellingen 2007).<br />
Phosphorus is an essential mineral in every cell in the body because of its role in the<br />
morphology <strong>and</strong> the energy requirement of the organism <strong>and</strong> its cells. In the form of<br />
ATP, it activates the metabolism of cells (Stryer 2000).
