Alla Selawry
Alla Selawry, was a Russian born scientist, Anthroposophist, doctor, homeopath, and theologian.
Biography
She was born in Moscow of Russian parents Sergei Ivanovich Selavri, a Sworn Attorney assistant and Antonina Georgievna Stasenkova, and was the older sister of Dr. Oleg Selawry. Her family moved from Russia to Germany in 1922 during the Russian Civil War.She graduated from the University of Tübingen in 1939 with a master's degree in medicine. Shortly after graduating, she worked with Hans Krueger under the guidance of Ehrenfried Pfeiffer to develop Pfeiffer's medical diagnostic technique based on interpreting crystal formations of blood mixed in a copper chloride solution, also known as biocrystallization. She was so successful in this field that she set up a private practice which thrived until her death in 1992. She maintained that blood crystallisation belonged to the "science of the future" based more on intuition than on strictly repeatable, clinical trial studies.
She also developed homeopathic treatment regimens based on certain metals, many of which had properties described in mythological stereotypes.
In addition to her contributions to medical science, Selawry wrote a number a theological books, including: Perpetual Prayer of the Heart, a biography of John of Kronstadt, and an unfinished book on virtues and vices.
Selawry died on 27 July 1992 in Stuttgart, Germany, and was survived by her brother Oleg Selawry, and his children Mark and Lubov.
