Review: German New Medicine 101Before we dive in to the 5 Biological Laws of German New Medicine (GNM), it’s important to review exactly what “GNM” is!In the early 1980s, a physician by the name of Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer made a revolutionary discovery that diseases – from a cold to cancer – are not “caught,” nor are they malfunctions or malignancies. Instead, they are significant Biological Laws of German New Medicine that assist us during times of unexpected distress. These Biological Laws of German New Medicine are byproduct signs and symptoms after a significant stressor has occurred. This discovery was first made from personal experience. Dr. Hamer developed cancer shortly after his son was killed in a tragic accident and died in his arms—a significant emotional stressor. It was during his treatment and recovery from cancer that he began to question the “root causes” that preceded his disease, and realized that disease in the body is often preceded by dis-ease (a significant emotional stressor(s) in our lives—not only for himself, but his patients as well. Hamer’s experience inspired him to begin observing the various symptoms and ailments of his patients, and increased his curiosity into the underlying “root causes” behind everything—from cancers to allergies, acne, infertility, bloating and beyond and cancers too, finding that patients presenting with similar diagnoses and diseases also had a shared history of similar stressors in their lives.Taking it a step further, as a fully-embodied medical researcher and non-holistic doctor, Dr. Hamer wanted metrics and began running CT scans on his patients to observe any similarities as well. Was there something happening in their brains? As a matter of fact, yes. What he observed was clusters of “concentric rings” on certain parts of the brain associated with specific tissues, organs and structures in the body that were “sick” or out of balance. For example, in patients with testicular cancer, Dr. Hamer observed that the majority of these patients had also experienced a history of some sort of loss conflict (like the loss of his own son).Their brain scans in turn had concentric rings presenting in the brain’s central amygdala and the insular cortex—associated with the testicular function. Since Dr. Hamer’s time, over 70,000 case studies and CT brain scans have been run and confirm findings. Voila: “German New Medicine” (now called “The New Medicine”) was born. Firmly anchored in our knowledge of embryology, German New Medicine is a new biological science that reshapes our view of all symptoms and diseases. The basic tenet of this theory is that every disease originates from a shock or traumatic event that catches us completely by surprise. The moment the unexpected conflict occurs, the shock occurs in a specific area of the brain causing a lesion, visible on a brain scan as a set of sharp concentric rings.The brain cells that receive the conflict impact send a biochemical signal to the corresponding body cells causing the growth of a tumor, a meltdown of tissue or functional loss, depending on which brain layer receives the shock. The reason specific conflicts are irrefutably tied to specific areas in the brain is that, during our historical evolution, each brain wasprogrammed to respond instantly to any conflict that may threaten our survival.Yes. Way. To simplify things, there are 5 “Biological Laws of German New Medicine”, or 5 core “Gut Brain” Principles that explain everything, how this whole gut-brain thing and Biological Laws of German New Medicine work at a mental, emotional and physiological level.The 5 Gut Brain Principles#1. “Dis-ease” (Stress) in Our Lives Shows Up as “Disease” (Stress) in the Body. Every Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) originates from a SES (Significant Emotional Stressor) in the Unconscious Mind. The body is a mirror of what’s going on inside us. A Significant Emotional Stressor (SES) is a “shock” (aka “conflict shock”) that is picked up socially or in the environment by the Unconscious Mind —or the gut (gut intuition).Some examples of common stressors that may precede the onset of illness or a health issue include:Receiving news that was difficult to take in, digest or comprehendFeeling stuck in your lifeA loss or separation (job loss or income loss, relationship, move, loss of a loved one)Not feeling good enough or wantedAn “attack” such as an offending remarkInability to conceive Any life-threatening situation, for example, in the course of an accident or during a medical emergencyA hard boss or relationship difficulty What separates a Significant Emotional Stressor (SES) that leads to disease or a health setback from regular every day stress is at least one of 4 things. The event is:Unexpected (startling, shocking, surprising), Dramatic (highly emotional)Isolating (can’t talk about it)No Strategy (don’t know how to proceed, not know what to do – feels trapped, choiceless) After the shock, the Gut Brain responds unconsciously, instinctively, automatically and instantaneously. The response is not mediated by the Conscious Mind, but instead the “fight or flight” response and reptilian brain.The Unconscious Mind instantly sends a stress signal to a particular location of the brain (depending on your subjective interpretation of the stressor), and the brain begin to swell in that area. On CT scans, clinicians have actually observe the formation of “concentric rings” where the brain receives this signal and interprets stress.As a result of this swelling and “highlighted” area, the Gut Brain axis goes to work. The brain sends a signal down the Gut Brain axis to the corresponding organs and tissues in the body that are directly connected to that specific part of the brain. Boom: INFORMATION GETS TRAPPED IN THE BRAIN AND CORRESPONDING ORGAN LOCATION. Voila! The 2-Phase Disease Process begins! (Principle #2).Check out the diagrams identifying the Gut-Brain Connection to organs and the Biological Laws of German New Medicine. For example, The Gut-Brain Connection & Specific Organs Brain Stem (Digestion/Guts, Liver, Gallbladder, Kidneys, Lungs, Reproduction)The Brain Stem is also known as the “reptilian brain” and is the oldest, first developed part of our brain, controlling organs that fulfill the basic functions for survival—digestion and reproduction.Someone who experiences and processes a “conflict shock” or stressor at the Brain Stem level may experience health issues related to digestion and gut problems, infertility and hormone imbalances, disordered eating, thyroid imbalances, and the classic 3-F trifecta: feeling “fat, foggy and fatigued.”What possible conflicts could make an organ directed by the brain stem to react? Something that threatens your survival, an “indigestible” or “morsel” conflict, figuratively— a job or financial setback, rejection from your middle school crush or the popular kids, a medical diagnosis, instability in your household, feeling stuck or not knowing what to study in school, the list goes on. When this happens, your “fuel” and/or livelihood may feel depleted Consider the earth worm example: A worm is just munching away. Worms would eat 14 times their own body weight in a day. They crawl around, find food, food goes in, digestion occurs, waste goes out. Easy peasy.So now what would happen if a huge chunk of food gets stuck in its body, or if it cannot digest and break something down? You swallow it and because it is so big, it remains stuck somewhere inside your digestive tract. It does not go back up, it does not go down. It is stuck – (and wriggling your way out of it does not work either).This is exactly what an indigestible conflict is like in the body. Cerebellum – SkinThe organs belonging to the Cerebellum have to do with protecting ourselves—our skin and body cavities. What possible conflicts could make an organ directed by the Cerebellum to react? Something relating to safety. If we perceive an “attack”, we need to “protect” ourselves. Or “nest-worry” conflicts.Cerebellum issues have to do with integrity or defilement. Defilement means the state of being polluted, soiled. Violated in your body’s integrity, not psychological but moral integrity. It also has to do with feeling attacked and injured or disabled.Such as: hearing a heavy and confrontive remark: “You pig!” could be interpreted as “That hit me between my shoulder blades like a knife” whichthe body interprets as aggression against the viscera.Or, a woman went to public bathroom and her body felt “Oh! Yuck!” Instantly her skin started to react, became red, a rash appeared, and she produced a Shingles. Her interpretation was that the integrity of her physical body became violated. Ever since whenever she would think of that moment, the rash would begin.And have you ever wondered why teenages develop acne? They are in the process of developing theirsexual identity and self confidence—which often may feel under attack. Cerebral Medulla (Muscles, Cartilage, Tendons, Tissues & Bones)Cerebral medulla organs have to do with coordination, movement, individuality, and adaptation to anew environment. Medulla related organs are: the skeleton, the muscles, the tendons, the cartilage, the bone marrow, hormone producing glands, the nerves, blood vessels, and the lymphatic system.In general the cerebral medulla refers to who we are as individuals – our inner core – and how we perceive what’s going on and how we value ourselves. All Cerebral Medulla issues are to do with our “core” and how we stand up for and value ourselves. Our self-esteem and inner core strength. All issues are similar to how a bone reacts; when a bone heals, it is stronger than before the break. So after repair, organs are stronger than before. Physical symptoms that may “result” from a cerebral medulla conflict are often related to structural, tissue and/or hormonal issues—like stress fractures, back pain, torn shoulder or knee ligaments, autoimmune disease, and fatigue. The body is a metaphor and symptoms can be very telling for what is really going on under hood. For example: The knees help us to squat, to bend down, to be flexible. So knee problems have to do withflexibility, like the inability to be flexible enough to compete against somebody.The foot has to do with flexibility and moving forward. So problems with ankles and feet have to do with inability to move forward – in a relationship, or in career, or in a certain situation.The pelvic area is the house of sexual organs, so it has to do with sexual self-devaluation. “I am just not good enough sexually”, or “My sex life sucks”.Teeth bone issues? A bite conflict characterized as self devaluation of feeling unable to take a bite or strike a bite, like speaking up for yourself or attaining a goal you’ve been pining for. Cortex – Mucus Membranes and Outer SkinThe Cortex is involved with how individuals interact with each other, the world, and organize socially—think: getting married, having philosophical conversations, building community, watching the news, contributing to society, etc. Cortex-related organs help us to feel contact – the outer skin (epidermis) of all organs in the body, the eyes to see, the inner ears, communication, the whiteness of our teeth, allergy-sensitive tissues in our lungs and throat. Cortex-rleated conflicts have to do with sensory perception; perceiving the environment, communication,social behavior, interactions. They are related to defining territories and learning how to interact as well as with separation issues. The cortex has to do with the social environment. Your ability to deal with other people; your ability to deal with “the outside world”.So, any conflict shock that stresses us out in relation to our external environment could technically manifest as symptomology in the body—sexual or body image pressures, safety issues, competition with another colleagueor with another person for a particular girl’s or boys affection, position and status in community or family, or someone who crosses your boundaries,The common cold is great example—a “this stinks” conflict that arises every winter as the weather starts to shift. You think: “This cold weather stinks!” Not long after, the cough, fever, the sore throat come on. Eye problems like a stye in the eye or contact dermatitis? These have to do with a “being seen” conflict—where in your life do you not feel fully seen?Diabetes and hypoglycemia stem from “disgust, revulsion, fear and resistance conflicts” (such as feeling disgusted by your weight in light of society’s standards of what you think you ‘should be,’ a “fear” conflict around getting fat, or a resistance conflict to being viewed as a minority in society). SummaryOur first Gut Brain Principle (Dis-ease” (Stress) in Our Lives Shows Up as “Disease” (Stress) in the Body) is the complete opposite of Conventional Medicine theory, which says that disease is a mistake of nature or that it has external reasons. It focuses on the Hardware (form, substance, energy, fuel) and the person is a victim. For example:accidents (car crash, cutting finger with knife, etc.)bad nutrition and diet (vitamin, enzyme, mineral deficiency, etc.)lack of exercise (loss of muscles or functionality, etc.)harmful substances (chemicals, toxins, bad air, smoking, etc.)A gut-brain connection approach proposes the model based on Software (content intelligence, information, instructions, emotions, perceptions) therefore disease starts from within and the individual person – since it is the individual’s personal history that has created the body response. The statement from the American Psychology Association couldn’t be further from the truth: “Almost every major illness that people acquire is linked to chronic stress.”If we solve the negative situation, then we can begin to fully heal from disease or pain ailments, and we need to look holistically at mind, body, spirit, social interactions, environment, in order to remove energetic blockages holding our body back from optimal wellbeing (Negative Emotions, Limiting Decisions, Limiting Beliefs, wrong strategies, etc.). #2. The Onset of Disease & Symptoms Happens in 2 Phases: After the onset of a Significant Emotional Stressor (SES), the second brain then goes through two primary phases, followed by “resolution.”Phase 1: Conflict ActivePhase 2: The Healing PhasePhase 1: Conflict Active (Fight or Flight – “Stress Mode”)In the first phase (“conflict active”), the body enters in permanent “stress mode” as if it is running from a bear in the wild: metabolism is increased, the person has lots of energy, the need for food and sleep decreases (with regular waking up around 3 am), pulse rate increases, extremities get cold easily, and the body is using its reserves (energy and nutrients) especially if the stress period is prolonged. When we go into “stress mode,” specific areas of the brain get activated and begin sending inflammatory signals to specific tissues, organs, microbes and cells, depending on the specific type of stress (example: “indigestible” conflict sends signals to the gut, manifesting as IBS, bloating, constipation). CT brain scans show concentric rings in certain areas of the brain (correlated with specific body organs and tissues where inflammation or disease may manifest for that person). For example, a person with acne would have concentric rings in the cerebellum, connected to the skin, whereas a person with irritable bowel syndrome would have concentric rings in the brain stem region, connected to the digestive system. Ideally, Phase 1 is “quick” and it passes onto phase 2 (the healing phase—where symptoms develop). However, it is important to note that many of us are actually living with “hanging conflicts” with little or no symptoms (since symptoms in the conflict-active phase are rare). A “hanging conflict” refers to the situation where a person remains in the conflict-active phase because the conflict cannot or has not yet been resolved.With lasting intense conflict activity (such as continuing to work at a job you hate, working 14 hour days as a high-stressed CEO, staying in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or growing up under the roof of a controlling father)—such ongoing stressors drain the body of energy. Ever wonder why the average American drinks 2 to 3 cups of coffee daily—many for a boost of energy? Their HPA Axis (stress hormone management system) is depleted. The same thing goes for the 50% who experience regular circadian “misalignment,” sleep deprivation and insomnia, and the widespread feeling of being “fat, foggy and fatigue” by many, without an official diagnosis of anything. Phase 2: Healing Phase (Symptoms Begin)In the second phase (“conflict resolution”), as the initial triggering stressor calms down (ie. The bear stops chasing you in the wild), you go into “parasympathetic” (less stressed out) mode and the body begins to take in everything that just happened. Interestingly, the development of the symptoms always matches the development of the conflict and the type of conflict. (ie. sudden conflict = sudden illness; building/long term conflict = disease builds over time). This is where symptoms of all sorts unfold: tumors (cancer), cold and flu, chronic fatigue, skin breakouts, yeast infections, anxiety, hair loss, thyroid flare, food intolerance, constipation, fever, back pain, stress fractures. During this phase, you need to regain energy and you also need correct mental, emotional and nutritional support.Phase 2 is actually known as the “healing phase” (what we may call “disease” or “diagnosis”). On the brain level, most symptoms, diagnoses and diseases occur during the healing phase, when the localized brain edema causes the brain pressure to increase. Any health symptoms you start experiencing — from headaches to insomnia to acne to body fat gain to bloating— are actually a sign that your body is trying to heal. In phase 2, your entire metabolism is now decreased, tiredness and need for a lot of sleep sets in, appetite increases, and symptoms such as fever, infl… truncated (33,009 more characters in archive)
