What if I told you that cancer was not a disease? Metastasis is an unproven theory? And microbes are an essential part of healing?
As a Natural Health author, researcher and practitioner of over 15 years, I believed for most of my life that cancer and diseases are malfunctions of our body caused by risk factors such as toxins, diet, radiation and stress, and that we have to fight these diseases or they will cause our demise.
In conventional medicine, cancer in particular is considered to be ‘random’ and it is ‘bad luck’ if it happens to you – an extremely dis-empowering notion that makes us very fearful, something the cancer and pharmaceutical industries rely upon.
Empowerment or Fear?
The alternative arena can appear to help us take back this power by providing information that seems to answer the questions that the mainstream is unable (or maybe refuses) to answer. Those of us who have researched into natural health may even feel a degree of power. My power and apparent lack of fear was borne from my belief that I had achieved ‘immunity’ against cancer by avoiding all the causes I learnt about, living naturally and taking various supplements. So when I discovered a large lump in my breast a few years ago in spite of my healthy ‘cancer preventing’ lifestyle, I realised that I was still very much afraid.
Furthermore, it is when I discovered the suppressed science of German New Medicine (GNM) that I realised the ‘empowerment’ I believed I had achieved by ‘healing myself’ of breast cancer, was actually fear in disguise and it had spread into all areas of my life. I was actually very afraid of exposure to anything linked to cancer, particularly foods such as sugar, and I was living a fearful life of restriction.
True Empowerment!
True empowerment comes by moving away from fear – as we are not empowered when fear controls us! I am certainly not saying to break open the biscuit tin, but we need to ensure our decisions are made through the wisdom of informed choice rather than fear. I personally found that once I embraced and understood GNM, it truly removed my fear by proving how amazing, intelligent and powerful our bodies really are, and how beautifully we exist in harmony with all of nature.
“German New Medicine is not only a new paradigm of medicine, it is also a new consciousness. It is the awareness that our organism possesses inexhaustible creativity and remarkable self-healing capabilities. It is the recognition that each cell of our body is endowed with a biological wisdom we share with all living beings.” – Caroline Markolin, PhD. LearningGNM.com
This is the irrefutable science of German New Medicine – irrefutable as it contains no hypotheses. In contrast, medical science as we know it contains over 5,000 hypotheses – yet our entire paradigm has been built upon this, whether mainstream or alternative. This is why the concept of this ‘New’ paradigm is often difficult to accept and probably why there is so much controversy behind it.
The Discovery
Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer was a German medical doctor who developed testicular cancer in 1976 shortly after his son Dirk had died in a tragic accident. Being a healthy man, he wondered whether his cancer was linked to the loss of his son, which set the beginning of his research. He discovered that every one of his cancer patients had also suffered some trauma (what he called a ‘conflict shock’) before their cancer diagnosis. While this idea was not new, Dr. Hamer took his research a momentous step further by scanning the brains of all his cancer patients. What he discovered was ground-breaking. He found that the same type of conflicts impacted very specific areas in the brain that, in turn, controlled very specific organs. This psyche-brain-organ relation became the foundation of the new understanding of ‘diseases’.
The Five Biological Laws
Based on the analysis of 40,000 cases, Dr. Hamer discovered the biological purpose of every so-called ‘disease’. He summarized his findings into what he termed ‘The Five Biological Laws’, as these laws are found in all cases without exception and are found throughout nature. His research proves without doubt that diseases are not malfunctions of our body but meaningful biological programmes set into motion by a specific conflict shock or trauma (called a ‘DHS’ or Dirk Hamer Syndrome after his late son).
Here is a basic outline of the Five Biological Laws:
First Biological Law
“Every ‘disease’ is a Biological Special Programme which originates from an unexpected, highly acute, and isolating conflict shock that occurs simultaneously in the psyche, the brain, and on the corresponding organ.” – This conflict shock is an emotionally distressing event that occurs unexpected and is highly subjective, dependent on factors such as our individual perception and emotional state. Specific conflicts activate specific biological programmes, the purpose of which is to strengthen or optimise the organ so we can better cope with the unexpected trauma.
Second Biological Law
“Every Biological Special Program runs in two phases provided there is a resolution of the conflict.” – The first phase is the conflict-active phase which occurs immediately after the conflict shock. In this phase the body is in a prolonged state of stress and we may see cell proliferation to improve the function of the conflict-related organ (i.e. a tumour), or cell loss to widen a vessel or duct. When the conflict is resolved, the healing phase begins and the body enters a prolonged non-stress, restful state to facilitate healing. This is when we experience symptoms such as inflammation and pain.
So we are not ‘sick’ when we have symptoms – we are healing!
Chronic conditions are caused when the body cannot complete the healing phase due to conflict relapses that interrupt the healing process. General stress, a poor diet, and certain medication can also prolong the healing phase. Allergies occur when triggers of the original conflict reactivate the corresponding biological programme.
Third Biological Law
In line with evolutionary logic and the embryonic development of the human organism, the Third Biological Law explains why the affected organ responds to the corresponding conflict with cell proliferation or tissue loss and why the biological conflict themes correspond to very specific areas in the brain that control the course of each Biological Special Programme.
Fourth Biological Law
“The Beneficial Role of Microbes”. – During the healing phase, bacteria, including TB, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and fungi such as Candida are activated in order to remove the additional cells that are no longer required or to assist the replenishing of tissue. So-called ‘infections’ such as Candidiasis therefore occur in the healing phase, its intensity being proportional to the length and intensity of the conflict-active phase. Microbes require an acidic environment in which to thrive and work. Therefore the acidic imbalance is not the cause of disease, but instead an essential part of healing.
Fifth Biological Law
“Every so-called disease is part of a Significant Biological Special Program of Nature created to assists an organism (humans and animals alike) during unexpected distress.”
Metastasis
What appears to be the ‘spreading’ of cancer is actually the result of new or simultaneous conflicts. A prime example is a ‘death-fright conflict’ experienced upon receiving a cancer diagnosis or negative prognosis. This will trigger a ‘cancer’ in the lungs, which explains why lung cancer is often a ‘secondary cancer’.
Causes of ‘Disease’
Understanding the biological meaning of each Biological Special Programme, we can now see that a poor diet, toxins, smoking, or other ‘risk factors’ cannot in themselves cause a ‘disease’ (malnutrition, poisoning, and injuries can result in the dysfunction of an organ in absence of a conflict shock).
The Controversy
It is hardly surprising that the story of GNM is steeped in controversy. In 1981, Dr. Hamer submitted a post-doctoral thesis of his discovery to the University of Tuebingen, Germany, for evaluation, but he was asked to renounce his findings or his employment contract would not be renewed. Dr. Hamer chose to continue his work in private. A few years later he received another warning, and when he refused to renounce his research his doctor’s licence was revoked. He continued his work, relying on other doctors to provide him with patients’ brain scans and medical records.
In 1997, Dr. Hamer was imprisoned for 19 months for giving three people medical advice without a licence. At the court hearing, the prosecutor stated that 500 of Dr. Hamer’s patients had died, though he was forced to admit this was out of 6,500 cases, the majority had terminal cancer, and 6,000 had experienced a full recovery.
This means Dr Hamer had a success rate of over 92%!
The ongoing suppression of German New Medicine by the authorities, the media and the educational establishments, intend to ensure his research is not taken seriously. Yet, despite this, the word is finally beginning to spread, as many people are realising that what we have been brought up to believe is not necessarily so as we lift the veil that clouds the truth in many areas of our lives.
GNM International Conference 2019
My husband, Lloyd, and I first learnt of German New Medicine as part of my own journey, and after studying all the lectures, tutorials and extensive information available on LearningGNM.com, we attended the 3-day GNM International Conference in Austria in September 2019, run and hosted by Caroline Markolin, former student of Dr Hamer and founder of LearningGNM.com.
Approximately 70 people from 22 countries attended, mostly alternative health professionals including doctors of homeopathy, chiropractic and therapists such as kinesiologists and nutritional therapists. Many were already working with GNM principles and we were amazed at the results they have been achieving. There were many useful, thought provoking presentations given by Caroline and many other GNM teachers and GNM practitioners from the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, and India who all shared some of their fascinating case studies of adults, children and even pets.
It was very refreshing to connect and speak with like-minded people and we returned feeling encouraged to share this important and life-saving information with as many people as we could!
A New Age of Medicine
I truly believe there is a new age of medicine dawning, where fear and the fighting of disease
will become a thing of the past. Welcome to the lifting of the veil, and the unfolding of GNM. No one could put this more beautifully than Dr Hamer himself:
“All so-called diseases have a special biological meaning. While we used to regard Mother Nature as fallible and had the audacity to believe that She constantly made mistakes and caused breakdowns (malignant, senseless, degenerative cancerous growths, etc.) we can now see, as the scales fall from our eyes, that it was our ignorance and pride that were and are the only foolishness in our cosmos. Blinded, we brought upon ourselves this senseless, soulless and brutal medicine. Full of wonder, we can now understand for the first time that Nature is orderly and that every occurrence in Nature is meaningful, even in the framework of the whole. Nothing in Nature is meaningless, malignant or diseased.” – Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
