What is German New Medicine (GNM)

This is a summary with 6 examples of conflicts, categorized by germ layer:

1. Endoderm (Cerebrum-controlled tissues) – “Old Brain” / Inner organs

• Conflict Type: “Territorial” or “Existential” conflicts; attacks on survival, deep emotional shocks.

• Examples:

  1. Fear of starvation / food deprivation conflict → affects stomach lining or pancreas.

  2. Separation conflict from a loved one or child → affects lungs or inner organs associated with survival.

Characteristics: Cell proliferation (tumor growth) during the conflict-active phase; healing with inflammation or cell breakdown once resolved.

2. Mesoderm (Brainstem-controlled tissues) – “Movement and support organs”

• Conflict Type: Self-devaluation, motor control, or territory defense.

• Examples:
  3. “Self-devaluation” conflict → affects bones, cartilage, or muscles (causing bone loss, tissue thinning).
  4. Territorial or “fight for survival” conflict → affects heart muscle or connective tissue; functional impairment during conflict.

Characteristics: Tissue loss or functional impairment in active conflict; regeneration or swelling during healing.

3. Ectoderm (Cerebellum-controlled tissues) – “Surface / skin & sensory organs”

• Conflict Type: Separation, attack, or fright conflicts; surface-related.

• Examples:
  5. Skin contact or self-worth conflict → affects skin, epidermis, or mucous membranes.
  6. Fright or panic conflict → affects sensory organs like eyes, ears, or nerve endings.

Characteristics: Tissue loss or functional disturbance in the active phase; tissue repair, swelling, or inflammation in the healing phase.

Each conflict corresponds exactly to a brain relay (Hamer Focus), which then determines the organ or tissue involved. The germ layer origin of the tissue dictates whether the response is cell proliferation, tissue loss, or functional disturbance.

Example: Leukemia in the Conflict-Active Phase (Hamer Focus / Active Conflict)

1. Triggering Event (DHS – Dirk Hamer Syndrome):
   Leukemia is initiated by a sudden, unexpected, highly emotional conflict, often a self-devaluation conflict or an existential survival fear (e.g., “I am not good enough” or “I cannot survive this”). This shock strikes simultaneously:

   • Psyche: The emotional trauma is deeply felt.

   • Brain: A specific Hamer Focus (HF) in the brainstem is activated (mesoderm-controlled tissue regulating the bone marrow).

   • Organ / Tissue: The bone marrow, responsible for producing blood cells, receives a signal to respond.

2. Biological Purpose:
   In the active phase, the body executes a specific, meaningful biological program. For leukemia, this involves:

   • Osteolysis — the breakdown of bone tissue in the bone marrow, creating space for later regeneration of blood cells.

   • Reduction or functional impairment of blood cell production, reflecting the body’s adaptation to the conflict.

3. Symptoms During the Active Phase:

   • Often no pain or severe symptoms initially.

   • Anemia (reduced red blood cells) due to suppressed bone-marrow activity.

   • Possible fatigue, pallor, or mild weakness.

   • Emotional symptoms such as stress, hyper-focus, or agitation, reflecting the brain’s full engagement in managing the conflict.

4. Timing and Purpose:

   • The active phase itself is not the purpose; it is the preparatory stage.

   • The true purpose of the program lies in the healing phase, which begins once the conflict is fully resolved. During healing, the body repairs tissue, restores bone integrity, and regenerates healthy blood cells — fulfilling the adaptive and survival-oriented goal of the program.

5. No Healing Yet:

   • In the active phase, there is no fever, inflammation, or repair.

   • The body is entirely focused on managing the conflict and preparing for the healing phase.

Example: Leukemia in the Healing Phase (Post-Conflict / Post-Conflict Phase)

1. Conflict Resolution:
   Once the self-devaluation or existential survival conflict is fully resolved, the leukemia program transitions into the healing phase. This phase is purposeful and represents the true goal of the biological program: to restore and regenerate the bone marrow, blood, and bone tissue, achieving balance and adaptation.

2. Biological Purpose (Purpose of the Healing Phase):
   The purpose of the healing phase is to:

   • Repair the bone tissue that underwent osteolysis during the active phase.

   • Restore proper blood cell production (red cells, white cells, platelets).

   • Complete the program in a way that supports survival and adaptation, rather than causing destruction.

   • Serve as the final stage of the biological solution to the original conflict shock.

3. Physiological Processes During Healing:

   • Bone Repair: The osteolytic bone tissue is rebuilt through recalcification and regeneration.

   • Blood Cell Regeneration: The bone marrow produces new red and white blood cells, restoring normal blood function.

   • Leukemia (as GNM term): In German New Medicine, what is traditionally called leukemia is the body’s natural overproduction of immature blood cells during healing. It is not a disease, but a temporary, purposeful part of the repair process.

   • Exaggerated Healing Phase: If the healing response is particularly intense or prolonged, there may be an overactive healing phase, producing more cells or inflammatory activity than strictly needed. However, this can be managed.

4. Symptoms During Healing:

   • Fever, fatigue, brain swelling, headaches, mild swelling, bone pain or tenderness may occur as part of tissue repair.

   • Increased blood cell counts may temporarily rise (seen as “leukemia” in conventional medicine).

   • Emotional state often improves, person is hungry again, gains weight, reflecting resolution of the original conflict.

5. Completion of the Program:

   • Once the healing phase is complete, the bone marrow, blood system, and bone tissue return to normal function.

   • The leukemia program has fulfilled its biological purpose: the body has adapted to the original shock, repaired tissue, and restored vital blood production.

✅ What modern medicine acknowledges

• There is growing recognition in biomedical research that stress, trauma and emotional/psychological factors can influence health (via psychoneuroimmunology, neuro‑inflammation, HPA‑axis dysregulation). Look Within Holistic Coaching+2Womanfluence+2

• Some alternative medicine reviews note that holistic frameworks (like GNM) may offer perspectives on mind‑body connections or raise useful questions about how emotional conflicts might play a role in illness. PubMed+1

🚫 Key criticisms from mainstream medicine

• GNM’s core claims (that every disease is caused by a specific sudden conflict, that specific brain lesions correspond to specific organs, that microbes are only helpers, etc.) are not supported by rigorous, peer‑reviewed scientific evidence. For example, critics note there are no large, properly controlled studies validating Hamer’s theories. SSL Dragon+2Psiram+2

• Major medical and cancer organisations have warned that reliance on GNM instead of conventional, evidence‑based treatments (for example in cancer) may lead to delayed diagnosis or treatment, and worse outcomes. Wikipedia+2Taste0ftruth Tuesdays+2

• GNM is often labelled pseudoscience in scientific reviews, because his premises contradict well‑established knowledge of biology, pathology, infectious disease, cellular replication, metastasis, etc. Psiram

One of the critiques (both popular and professional) is that:

“If GNM were true in the full sense — i.e., if virtually all diseases came from a single type of conflict shock and resolved via the body’s self‑healing after conflict resolution — then much of conventional medicine (diagnostic imaging, surgery, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals, etc.) would become unnecessary. Hence, many doctors, therapists, pharmaceutical/diagnostic industry actors would face unemployment or obsolescence.”

• One alternative article states: “Mainstream oncology and the pharmaceutical industry are protecting their financial interests by ensuring Dr. Hamer’s German New Medicine’s approach … doesn’t catch on significantly among medical practitioners and the public.” Health Impact News

• Another analysis of GNM argues that it “challenges the conventional medical paradigm … which is deeply entrenched …” and by implication some in the medical establishment may resist approaches that threaten the status‑quo. Bln Advocates

Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer’s medical license was revoked in several countries primarily due to gross professional misconduct and unethical medical practice, largely related to his promotion of German New Medicine (GNM) as a replacement for conventional cancer treatment.

• His GNM theories were never validated by peer-reviewed scientific research.

• Treating patients based solely on unproven methods was considered dangerous and unethical by medical authorities.

• Standard medical ethics require that treatments be evidence-based and that patients receive informed consent, including discussion of risks and benefits of conventional therapies.

• Hamer’s practice violated these principles, as patients were misled to avoid life-saving treatments.

Dr. Hamer explicitly points out that chemo and radiation stops the healing process. Scientific research confirms the toxicity of the treatments in question. 

The following is from the view point of modern science, not from GNM.

Chemotherapy (Chemo)

Origin:

• Chemotherapy has its roots in chemical warfare research during World War II.

• Early experiments with mustard gas derivatives were found to suppress rapidly dividing cells, particularly bone marrow cells. This led to the idea of using similar chemicals to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells.

• Modern chemotherapy is an extension of this concept: using toxic chemicals to disrupt cell division, evolved from these early cytotoxic agents.

What it is:

• Chemotherapy uses chemical agents (cytotoxins) designed to kill rapidly dividing cells.

• It is non-selective: it targets all fast-dividing cells, not just cancer cells.

Effects on the body:

1. Kills healthy cells too

   • Bone marrow → reduces white blood cells (immune suppression), red blood cells (anemia), platelets (bleeding risk)

   • Hair follicles → hair loss

   • Digestive lining → nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ulcers

2. Immune system compromise

   • Reduced immune surveillance can make infections more likely and may impair the body’s natural tumor suppression.

3. Organ toxicity

   • Many chemo agents are cardiotoxic, nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, or neurotoxic. Organs may suffer permanent damage.

4. Potential to trigger secondary cancers

   • Because chemo damages DNA in healthy cells, it can increase the risk of other cancers later.

5. Does not address the root cause

   • Chemo kills cells indiscriminately but does not resolve why the cancer appeared (stress, immune suppression, epigenetic triggers, tissue signaling dysfunction).

Radiation Therapy

What it is:

• Radiation uses high-energy particles or waves (X-rays, gamma rays, electrons) to damage DNA of targeted cells, ideally killing tumor cells or stopping them from dividing.

Effects on the body:

1. DNA damage in healthy tissue

   • Even carefully targeted radiation affects surrounding healthy tissue, leading to fibrosis, necrosis, or organ dysfunction.

2. Inflammation and scarring

   • Radiation can cause chronic inflammation, permanent tissue scarring, or reduced organ function in the treated area.

3. Risk of secondary cancers

   • By damaging DNA in normal cells, radiation can trigger new malignancies years later.

4. Limited systemic effect

   • Radiation is local. It does not address metastases or circulating tumor cells unless applied to every site, which is impractical.

5. Immune suppression

   • Radiation to bone marrow areas reduces white blood cell production, weakening overall immune defenses.
