Final paragraph: We are not in the habit of thinking of the soul processes - thinking, feeling and will intent in conjunction with physiological changes in the blood capable of scientific analysisn. We are even less aware of the soul processes coming to expression in pathologically changed parameters. The vast number of known changes in the blood might become the revelation of unconscious soul qualities in every case of illness. It is characteristic of cancer that typical changes in the blood are seen very late. A particular mystery in this respect are the tumor markers, for they should only have a physical and a soul function during the embryonic period. CEA shrouds the blood salts much more strongly than does albumin. The soul should not yet be in a waking state during the embryonic period. It will be possible to infer changed soul functions of patients with high CEA levels if we have better knowledge of the physiological function of these proteins during the embryonic period. We use mistletoe treatment to effect changes in the blood organism. The term "immunomodulation" points to the problematical nature of this. Agreement has not been reached to date as to which changes in blood parameters indicate optimum Viscum dosage in long-term treatment, or how over- or underdosage may be assessed. The ordering system of the blood presented in this paper arose from the endeavor to gain better understanding both of the study of man in cancer and of treatment.
