Education as Preventive Medicine A Salutogenic Approach by Michaela Glöckler

This is a great reference book on how teachers  and doctors can work together to foster good health from birth through  the teen years. The contributions to this book come from school  physicians. They point in the direction suggested by Rudolf Steiner,  while modern research into salutogenesis and resilience has provided  validation and corroboration for those ideas. Salutogenesis refers  to “inquiry into the origin of health.” This thinking and approach  represent a new paradigm and a fresh direction for research.
How  and when something is taught affects a student's lifelong disposition  toward health or illness. The Waldorf curriculum is based on  understanding the development and physiology of children, as well as the  healthy development of a child’s physical body. This forms the basis  for healthy development of a young person’s soul and spiritual  individuality, suggesting the great importance of doctors, teachers, and  parents working together.
