Abstract: The dynamics of and the problems arising at each of the four levels in the vertebral column may be seen to reflect the dynamics of the human being's four bodies. Aspects concerning the polarity between rheumatic diseases of the lower extremities and lower spine (Bekhterev's and other forms of seronegative ankylosing spondylitis) and of the arms and upper spine (rheumatoid arthritis) are discussed. Regarding typical medicines, reference is made to the metamorphoses of carbon dioxide on the one hand (Calc. carb., Kali carb., Carbo veg.) and of silica on the other, and to the medicinal powers of colony-forming insects.
