1.  The Iron Rule of Cancer

Every “disease” begins with a sudden, unexpected shock (called a biological conflict).

• It catches you off guard
• It feels isolating (you deal with it internally)
• It has a specific emotional theme (loss, fear, separation, etc.)

At that exact moment:

• The psyche, brain, and organ are all affected simultaneously
• A specific area in the brain corresponds to a specific organ

Example:
A sudden fear for survival → affects lung tissue

2. The Two-Phase Nature of Disease

Every process has two phases, as long as the conflict gets resolved:

Phase 1: Conflict-Active Phase

• Stress, cold hands/feet
• Trouble sleeping
• The body is in “fight mode”
• Tissue changes begin (growth or loss depending on the conflict)

Phase 2: Healing Phase (after resolution)

• Fatigue, warmth, inflammation
• Swelling, pain, fever may occur
• The body repairs what happened in phase 1

Key idea:
What people call “illness symptoms” often happen during the healing phase, not the conflict phase.

3. The Ontogenetic System of Diseases

Different tissues in the body react differently based on their embryonic origin.

There are three main layers:

• Endoderm (inner layer)
  → Organs like lungs, liver, intestines
  → Typically create cell growth during conflict
• Mesoderm (middle layer)
  → Bones, muscles, connective tissue
  → Typically show tissue loss during conflict
• Ectoderm (outer layer)
  → Skin, nerves
  → Typically show ulcers or loss during conflict

Each layer follows a consistent pattern of how it responds and heals.

4. The Role of Microbes

Microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.) are not enemies.

• They become active during the healing phase
• Their role is to:
  • Break down unnecessary cells
  • Help rebuild tissue

They act as helpers in repair, not as causes of disease.

5. The Quintessence (Meaning of Disease)

Every biological process has a purpose.

• The body is not making mistakes
• Each response is designed to help you cope with the original conflict

Example:

• Lung tissue growth → increases oxygen intake → helps with a survival fear

So, what appears as a “disease” is actually a meaningful biological program.

Simple way to think about all 5 laws together

1. A shock happens
2. The body enters a stress phase
3. Specific tissues respond based on their type
4. After resolution, the body repairs itself (with microbes helping)
5. The whole process has a biological purpose

Conflict → Organ Mapping (Examples)

Survival & Fear Conflicts

• “Fear of death” / suffocation panic
  → Lungs (alveoli)
  → Purpose: increase oxygen intake
• “Fear in the neck” (threat behind you, like danger you can’t see)
  → Eyes (retina)
  → Purpose: improve ability to detect danger

“Morsel” Conflicts (Food, money, opportunities)

• “I can’t get something I need” (job, money, opportunity)
  → Liver
  → Purpose: improve processing of “nutrients” (symbolically & physically)
• “I can’t digest something” (situation too hard to accept)
  → Small intestine
  → Purpose: better “absorb and process” the situation
• “I can’t eliminate something” (want to get rid of something)
  → Large intestine / colon
  → Purpose: improve elimination

Self-Worth Conflicts

• “I feel not good enough” (general)
  → Bones
  → Purpose: strengthen structure
• “I’m not good at this specific task”
  → Specific bone or joint related to that function
  → Example:
  • Athletic failure → leg bones
  • Manual work failure → arm/hand bones

Separation Conflicts

• “I lost contact with someone” (child, partner, pet)
  → Skin (epidermis)
  → Purpose: reduce sensation (numb the pain of separation)
• “I want to separate from someone” (unwanted touch or presence)
  → Skin (same system)

Healing phase often shows as rashes, redness, or itching

Territory Conflicts (Often tied to relationships, home, status)

• “Territory loss” (loss of partner, job, status, home)
  → Coronary arteries / heart area
• “Territory anger” (frustration in your space or environment)
  → Stomach / bile ducts
• “Territory fear” (feeling threatened in your environment)
  → Bronchi (airways)

Identity & Direction Conflicts

• “I don’t know where I belong / what my direction is”
  → Kidneys (collecting ducts)
• “Feeling abandoned or like a refugee”
  → Kidneys

Motor Conflicts

• “I can’t move / can’t escape / feel stuck”
  → Muscles (motor system)

Example:

• Wanting to run but can’t → leg muscles
• Wanting to defend but can’t → arm muscles

Hearing & Communication Conflicts

• “I don’t want to hear this”
  → Middle ear
• “I’m not being heard / misunderstood”
  → Throat / voice area

Introduction to Brain “Target” Formations

After understanding how a conflict shock affects the body, the next step is to look at how this process shows up in the brain.

In the system discovered by Ryke Geerd Hamer, every conflict is not only experienced emotionally, but also registered in a specific location in the brain at the exact same moment.

This is described as a visible change that can be seen on a CT (computed tomography) scan of the brain.

What are “target formations”?

These are often referred to as:

• Hamer Foci
• Or target / ring formations

They appear as:

• Circular, ring-like patterns
• Similar to a bullseye or ripple in water
• Located in a precise area of the brain

Why they matter

The key idea is that the brain acts as a control center between the psyche and the body.

• Each type of conflict activates a specific brain relay
• That relay is connected to a specific organ
• The “target formation” marks exactly where that relay is affected

This creates a clear link:
Conflict → Brain → Organ

When they appear

According to this model:

• The formation begins at the moment of the conflict shock
• It remains in the same location throughout the process
• Its appearance may change depending on the phase (active vs. healing)

Putting it into perspective

You can think of it like this:

• The psyche experiences the shock
• The brain records and coordinates the response
• The body carries out the physical changes

The target formation is described as the visible imprint of that moment in the brain.
