Real event 6 Introduction On the Creation of this Book With this book, I wish to bring the interested layperson closer to the discoveries of Dr. Hamer. It is not my intention to “adorn myself with borrowed feathers“ in order to gain recognition. The honor and recognition belong to Dr. Hamer alone. It was he who discovered the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, and found out about all of the rest. My role is one of a “translator“ into the language of the common man who, until now, has hardly had the opportunity to grasp and make use of this medical discipline. Since this book appeared seven years ago, my scope of knowledge has steadily increased. At the beginning, I strictly kept to Dr. Hamer's conflict and progression descriptions. This seventh edition is also based on his discoveries. However, to be honest, over the course of time the "strictly according to Hamer"perspective became too restrictive for me. And not just for me, but for many others too. Acknowledgments I thank Dr. Hamer for the gift of the New Medicine. This discovery will employ generations of physicians and change much for the better. I also thank my friends and teachers who have shared their knowledge with me. Great appreciation goes out to my wife for her moral support and patience during this three-year task. I thank all of the people who shared their own “case histories“ with me; without them, this book would only be half as good. Thank you, Dr. Wolf Dieter Diersch, for your paternal guidance and legal support. Without you, this book would probably not have been published. I thank Dr. Ruprecht Volz for his thorough editing of both the language and the professional content in the German version. I also want to express my gratitude towards Wolfgang Kalchmair for graphic direction and typesetting the book and Andreas Meinel for producing the index and looking over the second edition. I also thank the director of the panel www.gnm-forum.eu, Antje Scherret, who influenced the second edition with her treasury of experiences. Thanks to Bettina Mayer's team for graphic advice and Mr. Coser Angelo for the graphics processing. Many thanks go to Carolyn Preissecker and Michael Busboom for the basic English translation. Andrew Schlademan and Niamh Prior deserve special thanks for this English edition of the book. 7 Introduction We want to further develop these thoughts, to evolve. I have asked myself over recent years, how do these conflicts arise in the first place? Which individual preconditions have to exist for this to happen? Which influences lead to which conflicts? What lies in the background behind hereditary diseases? Dear reader, you are holding in your hands the translated and completely revised seventh edition of this book. Many new insights from practice and much new knowledge have been incorporated. I hope you will find enjoyment in reading and using this book. I would like to thank the IBERA publishing house for their fair pricing. A reasonable retail price was important to me as I did not want to sell an expensive textbook, but rather a “book for everyone“ that would be worth its price. This self-help and reference guide is meant to accompany us into a new era: an era full of uncertainty but one that we can look forward to. This book presents the current status of my personal knowledge. Some details will perhaps prove to be wrong; I ask the reader to forgive me for that — to learn means to err! My guiding principle while writing has been: as simple as possible and as detailed as necessary. I hope that therapists will find it useful and interesting as well. I often had to hide my enthusiasm behind factual and concise formulation; perhaps it will be sensed from “between the lines.“ Out of the Ancient Medicine For generations, we have become accustomed to receiving medication for every “illness“ in order to get well. It's normal that when we go to see a doctor, we come out with a prescription. It gives the patients a comforting feeling. After all, having “something in their hands“ means having a bit of hope for eliminating the evil from their lives. These prescriptions confirm our belief that the cause is “external;“ otherwise, an “external“ cure could not happen. It is a satisfying, childishly simple-minded way of dealing with illness. It is a way of handing over responsibility, similar to handing over a broken car to a repair shop. “The specialists will fix it — why else would they have gone through so much to learn their trade?“ Since we have no idea why we get sick or stay healthy, relinquishing responsibility is the easiest option. Even if the doctor does not know the cause of the sickness either, they have a system that offers seemingly appropriate support and a therapy that sometimes helps. The successes in trauma and emergency medicine are so impressive that we feel well cared for in other medical areas of expertise. Of course, over the centuries, the Western medical guild has learned how to credit random successes to their own account. As a child, I read - with veneration - about the alleged annihilation of smallpox and other contagious diseases by medical giants such as Jenner, Koch, and Pasteur. At that time, I did not know that when reading history, one must keep the author in mind: either the winner or the loser. I didn't yet know that - through interest-driven policy - written history is often only a distorted image of reality. I did not know that the real story is almost always sacrificed on the altar of Mammon. Christianity1 and medicine have been following the same path for a long time and they share a common concern: keeping the people in line. Has this always been for the good of the people? Well, it has at least been good for these institutions. It is well known that the blind let themselves be led without any resistance. Until Christianization, the peoples of Europe believed in reincarnation. The church aristocracy exterminated this primal knowledge with “fire and sword“ and replaced it with “heaven and hell.“ For centuries, the fear of eternal damnation was just the thing for keeping people on track. For both clergymen and doctors, it was important to keep the masses ignorant and pretend that they knew everything. For this purpose, the elitist Latin language was ideal: For common people, it was incomprehensible and thus, it provided the perfect protection from criticism. Would it not have been more honest to say, “joint inflammation“ instead of “juvenile idiopathic arthritis?“ Honestly, yes, but what do you answer if the patient tries to examine the cause of their joint inflammation? Do you have to admit that you don't know? How am I supposed to justify the chemicals I'm prescribing? Won't the patient ask why he should swallow the stuff if I don't even know why the joint is inflamed? With “juvenile idiopathic arthritis,“ it‘s all much easier for me. If the patient demands, I can answer that this affliction is an “autoimmune disease.“ If he is not quite convinced, I can then explain the effects of “immune complexes in the reticuloendothelial system.“ 1 With Christianity, I mean the church as an organization and not Jesus' message, which I regard highly 8 With the knowledge of true biological interrelationships, the doctor no longer needs to hide behind incomprehensible terminology and the patient doesn't have to blindly accept it either. These "fig leaves" (incomprehensible terminologies) are no longer necessary as a cover up, because each patient can know, relatively precisely, about the processes of “his illness.“ On the other hand, we must be willing to reclaim responsibility for our own health or illness with all its consequences, even the unpleasant ones. The New Medicine The basics of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature were discovered by Dr. Hamer in 1981. That is already long time ago when you consider how many millions have died unnecessarily from chemotherapy and radiation, but it's only a short time for a new science. We are at the beginning of a new era in medicine. The coming years will fundamentally transform medicine. By means of the “master key,“ the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, we will see a real paradigm shift and a flood of new findings. Today, the New Medicine (NM) and conventional medicine (CM) are seemingly irreconcilable with each other. Naturopathy is also struggling with the facts of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. It will be a difficult road, but there is no other way around it. For the benefit of their patients, CM and naturopathy will have to be joined with the New Medicine, in order to eventually become a whole. This book is an attempt to integrate valuable parts of CM and naturopathy into the New Medicine. Integration in the other direction seems nearly impossible to me both professionally and from a functional standpoint. My first contact with the Germanic New Medicine® I became aware of “The New Medicine“ in 1995 (that's how it was called then and how I continue to call it to this day) through the media when the “Case: Olivia“ story unfolded in Austria. Like most people, I thought to myself, “My God, that poor child!– That is absolutely wrong, what the parents and this Dr. Hamer are doing.“ Even after the “Case: Olivia,“ I kept hearing about Dr. Hamer via the widespread negative headlines, but sometimes also through very positive headlines in various alternative media. At some point, I wanted to know more and I bought Dr. Hamer‘s original “Habilitation Thesis.“ Although it all seemed Greek to me, I got the feeling that this Dr. Hamer was an honest and conscientious person. While I was reading the "Habil" a second time, it finally clicked and since then, this subject hasn't let go of me. I attended study circles, lectures, and seminars, and marched in demonstrations in Vienna and Tübingen. I was known for always asking the most questions; this is something I still do today. The thing that keeps me going is, I got responses that were consistent with my experience as a massage therapist and naturopath. This confirmation of theory in practice and the confirmation I found in diseases I experienced firsthand is what makes this Medicine so valuable to me. Today, 20 years later, I am ashamed of my quick judgment in the “Case: Olivia.“ My confidence in the mass media has certainly faltered and I have come to realize that mass media does not inform the masses, but rather reflects the wishes of certain people. The Discoverer Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer was born in 1935 and he studied medicine, physics and theology. In 1972, he became a specialist for internal medicine. He worked in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Tübingen and Heidelberg, where he had to deal with cancer patients on a regular basis. Even from an early age, he had always been a pioneer and innovator: he invented a scalpel that enabled plastic surgery without bleeding, the so-called Hamer scalpel, a special bone saw and more. Through income from the patents on these inventions, Dr. Hamer wanted to become financially independent and settle down with his wife, also a doctor, and his four children in Naples, Italy. His plan was to open a surgery clinic for poor people and to work for free, but in 1978 tragedy struck. During a boat trip to Corsica, his eldest son Dirk was fatally injured by a gunshot from Prince Emmanuel of Savoy and died in the It is sometimes a matter of perspective to recognize the order. In both images, you get to see the same potato plantlets. Dr. Hamer recognized the order in relation to health and disease, because the line of sight agreed psyche-brain-organ. Introduction 9 1st Biological Law of Nature arms of his father after a four-month struggle. Three months later, Dr. Hamer unexpectedly fell ill with testicular cancer. It occurred to him that this disease could possibly be related to the loss of his son. After his recovery, he decided to investigate this idea further. He began to inquire whether his patients in the Munich Cancer Hospital had also experienced tragedy before they got sick. And indeed, his guess was right: Without exception, all patients told of a drastically shocking event. This was the beginning of Dr. Hamer‘s discoveries. He began to tell his colleagues of this breathtaking correlation, hoping to start a scientific discussion. But this discussion only lasted a short time; he was quickly faced with the choice by the hospital management to leave the hospital or "renounce" his theses. Fortunately, it was not in Dr. Hamer's nature to give in. He decided to continue his research, and when he left the Munich clinic, he had formulated the 1st Biological Law of Nature: the “Iron Rule of Cancer“. Until this discovery, Dr. Hamer had an enviable career. He was celebrated as the youngest patent-holding internist in Germany. With his discovery of the psychic correlation to illnesses, the tide turned abruptly: 1986 saw his physician's license revoked for “not denouncing the Iron Rule of Cancer and not converting back to conventional medicine." He also experienced two imprisonments and three assassination attempts.2 When Dr. Hamer once again presented his findings to the University of Tübingen for review and was again rejected, an inhouse counsel whispered to him: “Our masters have analyzed it hundreds of times behind closed doors; every time they found that everything is correct. If they had found only one case that would not have been correct, they would have invited you for public scrutiny the next day.“3 On July 2nd 2017, Dr. Hamer died while in exile in Norway. According to his wishes, he was buried in Erlangen, Germany. This is where he met his wife and spent the happiest years of his life. Why “Germanic“? Up until 2004, Dr. Hamer published his findings under “New Medicine.“ Dr. Hamer on the renaming: “The only reason why I wanted to rename ‘New Medicine‘ is because about 15 other sub-disciplines of alternative therapies also call themselves ‘New Medicine‘ and the name could not be protected. So I had to find a new name, and since this medicine was discovered in Germania, the land of poets and thinkers, musicians, inventors and discoverers, which is also the mother of almost all European languages, I called it the ‘New Germanic Medicine®‘. Since then, however, sectarianism and even antiSemitism have been associated with me.“4 2 Read about it in “Einer gegen Alle“ (One Against All) by Dr. Hamer. 3 See German New Medicine Quick Reference, p. 38; Amici di Dirk Publishers, 2008. ISBN: 978-84-96127-31-9, hereinafter cited as “Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine - Brief Information “ 4 Dr. Hamer, presentation of the New Medicine, p. 2, see bibliography My future vision We, New Medicine enthusiasts or Germanic health practitioners, practice with respect and appreciation - not only towards each other, but also towards conventional doctors, and therapists. We shun fanaticism and dogmatism and learn gratitude, love and humility from each other. We understand that all humans are spiritual beings on their own path of development. We recognize that the ways of healing are as individual as each person. The “good“ of conventional medicine is combined with the New Medicine. The New Medicine recognizes that their knowledge is also not a panacea and has expanded their horizons to things like family systems, subtle-energies and spirituality. Conventional medicine overcomes its crude materialism - the New Medicine overcomes its strict biomechanical-thinking - spiritual seekers take the leap from reading books to implementing their insights in everyday life. THE 5 BIOLOGICAL LAWS OF NATURE These laws describe the causes and progression of almost all diseases, but they do not apply to injuries (e.g. accidents), poisoning (e.g. fluorine, mercury) and deficiency diseases (e.g. Coca-Cola-McDonald‘s diet, the effects of glyphosate (antibiotic pesticide) poisoning). 1st Biological Law of Nature The Conflict 1st Criterion: Each Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) is formed by a biological conflict, a highly acute, dramatic, and isolative5 conflict-shock experience on three levels: psyche-brainorgan. 2nd Criterion: The biological conflict is determined at the moment of the conflict: both the localization of the SBS in the brain as a Hamer Focus and the localization in the organ(s) as a cancer or cancer equivalent. 3rd Criterion: The course of the SBS at all three levels (psychebrain-organ), from conflict to conflict resolution, on to the healing crisis at the height of the healing process and then the return to normalization (normotonia), is synchronous. Special programs, in my experience, can start without a “highly acute and dramatic“ onset: If stress, worries, or concerns of daily life last long enough, they can become solidified as biological conflicts. You hear the typical idioms: “The straw that 5 Isolative means that in this moment, we are left to our own devices. 10 1st Biological Law of Nature broke the camel‘s back!“ “That's been torturing me for a long time,“ “I cannot bear it anymore,“ and “Yes, it's a burden!“ Simply put: "diseases" begin with events or situations that we haven't "resolved" and are mirrored on the three levels of psychebrain-organ. Small disharmonies cause “minor diseases“ and great shocks cause “major diseases.“ Example of a slight agitation: A wasp flies under someone's shirt. The fright is transferred into their limbs. A small shock with all the criteria of a biological conflict: unexpected, highly acute-dramatic, isolative. After a few seconds the insect buzzes off again. Since the stress (conflict-active phase) lasted only briefly, there is no visible disease. Although an SBS starts, the time for a physically significant impact is too short (in the jargon: “too little conflict mass“). Small biological shocks are commonplace, as opposed to serious events. These heavier shocks cause “diseases“ and this is what this book is all about - the roots of diseases. Examples of serious conflicts: Someone is beaten; a woman is raped; a mother loses her child; a man loses his job, upon which he is highly dependent. Biological conflicts run “past understanding,“ meaning our intellect, reason and logic have no impact at this stage - it‘s about instinctual feeling and sensing. Here, one or more special programs (SBS) may begin, to cope with the “catastrophe“ in the best possible way from a biological perspective . Due to the shock, the brain and body ramp up from “normal mode“ to “special mode.“ Psychology speaks of “dissociation“ in this context: Through not coping with events (traumata), parts of the consciousness can split and can lead to a loss of (conflict) memory, impaired sensory perception and ultimately, disease. Consider this: a part of the consciousness splits off, “freezes“ - in this place, at this time - and is waiting for “redemption.“ The afflicted is called on to retrieve this frozen portion of their consciousness, in other words, to reintegrate it (conflict resolution). Then, it is once again “complete.“ The point in time The earlier in life conflicts occur, the more formative they are. They determine our character, our personality, and usually elude a resolution of the conflict. The more mature we are, the better we can usually deal with conflicts and allow them to resolve themselves. Most conflicts happen in the first three years of life. Two sharp-edged (= active) Hamer Foci in the relay for the inner ear. They show that the client has suffered a hearing conflict, which is not yet resolved. “What I've heard cannot be true!“ These Hamer Foci can be described as “fingerprints of the soul.“ They are living proof that the psyche controls all organs via the brain. To be honest, one has to admit that we are dealing with two, very clear examples here. In principle, they are ususally much less conspicuous. The arrows point to a Hamer Focus during an intense repair phase (CT with medium contrast). Sharp rings are no longer visible, instead you can see large black areas with embedded cerebrospinal fluid (edema) and a bright connective tissue hem. Affected here is the relay for the coronary arteries, corresponding to a resolved territory-loss conflict in this patient. In the CM, such Hamer Foci in the repair phase are often diagnosed as “brain tumors.“ In this patient, the CM speaks of a “glioblastoma“ (“Very malignant!“). 11 1st Biological Law of Nature The term Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) Throughout the book, we will no longer speak of “diseases“ per se, but of Significant Biological Special Programs. Why? Because “disease“ implies that something in the body is “not right,“ “not functioning,“ “worn out,“ or “broken“ (oldfashioned medicine's way of thinking). By understanding the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, we realize that everything in the body has order and meaning. What we referred to earlier as a “disease“ is, in fact (usually time-shifted), a consequence of an exceptional biological situation - part of nature‘s survival strategy. If earlier we thought, this or that "does not work," it was because we didn't know how the body works and the natural relationships. Each tissue, every organ has a “normal program“ for its standard functioning in “everyday life“ and a special program (SBS) for extraordinary situations, for “biological catastrophes.“ A technological comparison Cars with on-demand four-wheel drive (an SBS) have the advantage, for example, to enable someone to drive on snowy mountain roads (exceptional situation). Undoubtedly, this is a good thing. Who would complain about having 4WD after driving up into the mountains in winter, aside from needing a little more fuel (subsequent disease symptom)? The four-wheel drive is a useful, automobile special program to overcome exceptional situations. Only when we don't understand four-wheel drive would we try to dismantle and remove it from our car. In terms of time, there is a difference between SBS and “disease:“ Each SBS begins with a conflict-shock and lasts until the end of the repair phase. Most “disease“ symptoms only occur during the repair phase. (See 2nd Law of Nature.) Term “Biological Conflict“ For Dr. Hamer, the murder of his son Dirk was the worst event in his life, but it allowed him to discover the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Each SBS is a shocking event that causes a biological conflict - hereinafter referred to as “conflict.“ Instantly, the psyche, brain and organ(s) are changed. Psyche: Compulsive thinking: thoughts are constantly focused on one thing - the conflict. The person can think of nothing else. Even at night, one cannot stop thinking. Brain: Sharp-edged Hamer Focus appears in the corresponding brain section (see image below, left). Organ: Cell growth (tumor) or cell diminishing (tissue shrinkage, ulcer, necrosis) or a respective increase or decrease in function. (See 3rd Law of Nature.) Term “Hamer Focus“ From the instant the conflict starts, we find a circular targetshaped structure precisely in the area of the brain that corresponds with the content of the conflict - a Hamer Focus. Such foci consist of spherical, compressed brain tissue. In computed tomography (CT scans), Hamer Foci appear as circular discs. They were described by Dr. Hamer‘s colleagues - derisively - as the “odd Hamer Foci.“ Though, the name, “Hamer Focus,“ finally stuck. The location of the Hamer Focus provides information about what conflict has happened and which organ is affected. Furthermore, one can conclude from the appearance of the Hamer Focus, in which “disease“ phase the patient is. A sharp-edged Hamer Focus indicates that the patient has not yet resolved the conflict shock. A blurred, fuzzy Hamer Focus, on the contrary, indicates a solved conflict, which means the patient has overcome the shock and is healing. Idioms In the vernacular, there has never been a doubt about the connection between the mind and body: “I was scared to death.“ (shock/fear conflict - larynx) “I was paralyzed with fear.“ (motor conflict - muscles) “He spat fire and brimstone.“ (territory anger conflict - gallbladder ducts) “I just couldn't swallow it.“ - Chunk conflict (see p. 15, 16) - throat “This sits in my stomach.“ - Chunk conflict (see p. 15, 16) - stomach “My hands are tied.“ (powerless/helpless conflict - thyroid excretory ducts) “The contact is broken.“ (separation conflict - epidermis) “I can‘t endure this anymore.“ (self-esteem conflict - hip, femoral neck) “The guy is breathing down my neck.“ (fear in the neck conflict - retina, vitreous body) “I lost face.“ (separation conflict - trigeminal nerve). Perception What happened is not the determining factor, but rather how the patient perceives what has happened. What often looks harmless from the outside may have hurt a person deeply, hitting them in their weak spot. On the other hand, heavy blows by fate are often dealt with easily, but they can look like a biological conflict from the outside. They always depends on the psychic structure, weaknesses and the resonances affecting the individual. So, be careful with remote diagnoses! Example of varying perceptions A man learns that his wife was killed in a traffic accident. • “Normal“ would be the sensation of a loss-conflict with SBS of the testicle. The event can also be perceived differently. • Resistance conflict, when he resists inwardly and refuses to accept the death. “My wife can't be dead!“ > SBS of pancreatic islet beta cells (diabetes). • Central self-esteem conflict, when he received all his self-confidence from his wife: “Without her, I am worthless.“ > SBS of the lumbar spine (back pain during the repair phase). • Loss-of-territory conflict, when he looked at his wife as part of his territory: The alpha-male and his female. > SBS of the coronary arteries (angina pectoris). • Frontal-fear conflict, if he has the image of the truck, barrelling towards his wife in his mind. > SBS of the brachial arches (non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma, or branchial duct cyst in the repair phase). • Only a small conflict and no visible SBS, for example, if he didn't care about his wife anymore. 12 1st Biological Law of Nature Biological right or left-handed Even with the first cell division, the decision is made whether the individual will be right or left-handed. In identical twins, one is normally right-handed and the other is left-handed. The determination of handedness is very important for us, because it follows the simple rule that applies equally to men and women: With right-handers, the left half of the body is the mother/child side. This side is related to your own mother, your own children or the people and animals that evoke these emotions. The right half of a right-handed person's body is the partner side (life or business associates, friends, enemies, partners, pets, colleagues, neighbors, relatives, and all other people). For left-handed people, it is exactly the opposite. The cause of a sore right hip in a right-handed person has to do with the partner side. (As for the hip, the conflict is about not being able to endure or prevail at something any longer.) If a left-handed person has problems with the right knee, we must look for a mother or child self-esteem conflict. (The knees have aspects of an unsportsmanlike self-esteem conflict. In this case, the conflict relates to mother or child.) A rash on a right-handed person on the left side of the body has to do with mother or child. (Epidermis - separation conflict in regard to mother or child.) A conflict can also start special programs on both sides of the body simultaneously, e.g., when both knee joints are affected or when the skin rash is over the whole body. These cases involve both partner, mother or child. It is also possible to feel like a mother, a child and a partner to one and the same person (for example, the father in need of care is partially perceived by the daughter “as a child.“) In the SBS belonging to the territorial areas (e.g., coronary arteries, bronchi, or stomach mucosa), the handedness is of particular importance: In these cases, it decides which cerebral hemisphere the conflict “strikes“ and which organs react with an SBS. It is only in the brainstem-SBS, the chunk conflicts (“yellow group“ - the middle ear, intestine, liver parenchyma and others), that handedness does not play a role (see p. 16 - 17). The clap test To determine handedness, have the patient, with their arms not resting on their body, clap their hands. The leading (active) hand indicates the handedness. If in doubt, they can clap alternately fast and slow. If, when clapping, the right hand is moved towards the left, the person is right-handed. Usually the leading hand is the one on top. However, be careful, some people clap with the lower hand up into the upper hand. Therefore, always pay attention to “the leading hand.“ When the clap test is ambiguous, you can use two other tests: Baby Test: For this test, you actually need a baby. As a baby substitute, you can use a rolled up towel or a cushion. Ask the standing patient to put the baby (the cushion) to their breast. Hand over the baby (the cushion) in a neutral position (vertical) and pay attention to whether the patient places the head of the “baby“ on their left or right breast. If the head is placed on the left breast, the patient is righthanded, if the head is placed on the right breast, the patient is left-handed. “Bottle Test“: Give the patient a bottle with a screw cap and ask him to open it. The guiding hand typically does the unscrewing/screwing. For example, a right-hander turns with his right hand while holding the bottle with his left. Note: For drummers, people with paralysis or people, who have had injuries to one arm, these tests can bring incorrect results. In retrained left-handers, (left-handers who were trained/ forced to become right-handers) a reverse training can bring astonishing improvements in various complaints. Local conflict - regardless of handedness The location affected by symptoms doesn‘t always have a parent-child or partner reference. Example: A right-hander gets a slap on the right cheek. A basal cell carcinoma forms on the right cheek. The conflict had nothing to do with mother-child or partner, but simply with the unwanted skin contact. This causes a local conflict - regardless of handedness. In principle, local conflicts can occur anywhere. Mostly, however, they happen in the epidermis, dermis, connective tissue, joints, muscles, blood and lymph vessels, peritoneum and pleura. Right hand on top: biologically right-handed Left hand on top: biologically left-handed 13 2nd Biological Law of Nature 2nd Biological Law of Nature:6 The Two-Phased Process The involuntary or autonomic nervous system consists of two parts: the sympathetic (active nerves) and parasympathetic (resting nerves). The first regulates our involuntary functions when we are awake (activity, work, sports); the second controls these functions at rest (sleep, relaxation). In the normal state, which means when we are healthy and feel comfortable, these two branches switch rhythmically (normotonia, stable circadian rhythm). Dr. Hamer discovered that after the onset of a conflict, the psyche, brain and organ(s) automatically switch on "constant stress“ mode (continuous sympatheticotonia), i.e., the sympathetic nervous system takes over sole command. Conflict-active phase We call this stress phase the “conflict-active phase“ or simply the “active phase.“ Characteristics: tension, thoughts are constantly revolving around the conflict (compulsive thinking), a sharp-edged Hamer Focus in the corresponding brain area, cold hands, increased blood pressure by vascular constriction, faster breathing and heartbeat, poor sleep, feeling “wound up“ even at night, no appetite (i.e., weight loss, “cold diseases“ such as gastritis, and angina pectoris). Repair phase When the individual resolves the conflict (conflict resolution), the conflict-active phase ends and the repair phase begins. Now the parasympathetic nervous system determines what happens. The pendulum swings in the other direction. Permanent stress becomes continuous fatigue (i.e., vagotonia). Characteristics: relaxation, end of compulsive thinking, emotional relief, warm hands, poor circulation, poor performance, great need for sleep, fatigue - especially during the daytime, large appe6 “Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine®–Brief Information“ pp. 14, 15 tite leading to weight gain, headache and fever. The Hamer Focus in the brain shows soft contours due to fluid retention. Most CM “diseases“ can be found during the repair phase, including the so-called infectious diseases and other hot diseases. In the first part of the repair phase, water is deposited in the affected brain section and organ (edema), which can be very distressing for the patient (pain). If an individual cannot resolve a conflict, he becomes weaker and weaker until he dies of exhaustion (cachexia). Mostly, however, it does not go that far, because instinctively we suppress such conflicts from our consciousness or “come to terms“ with the matter (downward transformed conflict, see page 23f). Note: a pure repair phase lasts max. six months. If the repair phase symptoms continue for longer than half a year, there is a reoccurring conflict present. Repair phase crisis (chills phase, “cold days“) At the mid-point of the repair phase, the moment of truth arrives with the repair crisis (chills phase). With severe diseases, this short, but intense, “sympatheticotonic wave“ determines whether we make it “over the hump“ or not. Its duration lasts from a few minutes to about three days. The repair crisis is the most critical phase during the entire SBS. The most prominent healing crises are the heart attack (SBS of the heart) or epileptic seizure (SBS of the skeletal muscle). Sometimes in these “cold days“ of the crisis, one goes through the conflict in slow-motion once again. Through the healing crisis, the rudder is turned around again towards normality. In the brain and organ(s), the water retention, which has been accumulated in the first part of the repair phase, is eliminated. The second part of the repair phase, which deals with moving in the direction of normal conditions (normotonia), is characterized by increased water excretion (“pee phase“). This is accompanied by a rapid improvement of the symptoms. Each SBS has its specific repair crisis, even harmless “illnesses“ such as rhinitis (sneezing repair crisis) or laryngitis (repair crisis cough). The peace and harmony of the forest promotes relaxation, i.e., parasympathicotonia or vagotonia Imagine this lion comes up to you in the wild! Instantly you are in sympatheticotonia! 14 3rd Biological Laws of Nature The knowledge of this two-phase process brings order to the “diseases“ of CM. The first phase - the conflict-active phase - has been often overlooked up to this point, since it only accounts for a small number of complaints. During the second phase, the repair phase, “diseases“ are diagnosed and treated, but in reality they are just repair phase symptoms. 3rd Biological Law of Nature:7 The Ontogenetic System of Diseases or Germ Layer Order This third natural law states that all bodily processes can be understood and explained through an organism's developmental history (ontogeny). From embryology, we know that each tissue, each cell in humans and animals is assigned to exactly one of the three germ layers.8 Dr. Hamer observed the following: On the one hand, there are tumors that grow in the conflict-active phase and “shrink“ in 7 Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine - Brief Information, p. 19 8 Do not confuse germ cell layers (formed during embryogenesis) with the pathogenic microorganisms commonly known as germs. the repair phase. On the other hand, there are cancers that form “holes“ (tissue-shrinkage - ulceration, necrosis) during the conflict-active phase, which fill up again in the repair phase. This appeared to be contradictory, seemingly “illogical“ behavior. Through study and comparison of approximately 10,000 patient cases, Dr. Hamer solved this puzzle and discovered a breathtaking order with respect to germ layer, conflict theme and the part of the brain: the ontogenetic germ layer system of nature. Looking at the four tables on page 15, one can see that the endoderm and old-mesoderm tissues behave the same - this pair works according to the "old brain" model. The second pair, the new-mesoderm and ectoderm, works according to the "new brain" model; here it functions in exactly the opposite way (see p.15). To sum up, you can say that with the 3rd Biological Law of Nature, we can understand tissue growth (tumor), tissue breakdown/ degradation (ulcer), function reduction (e.g., diabetes) and increased function (e.g., hyperthyroidism). We also know now, which conflict affects which organ and which part of the brain steers the action. Thus, the idea that cancer “proliferates“ uncontrollably until the person is doomed is an out-dated concept. We can recognize, that cancer is not a senseless process carried out by rampaging cells, but one of Mother Nature's perfectly coordinated processes. The course of an illness when the conflict is resolved — our most important graph!8 Konfliktaktive Phase Repair phase I Edema Day Repair Phase Crisis Chills phase - pain Night Healthy Night Parasympathicotonia = vagotonia Constant relaxation Tired, feeling sick Day Sympathicotonia Healthy Constant stress very energetic Conflict Conflict Resolution Conflict-active phase 8 Cf. “Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine®–Brief Information “ pp. 14, 15 Repair phase II Water release 15 3rd Biological Laws of Nature Tissue/organ Type of conflict Conflict-active phase Healing-phase Tissue/organ Type of conflict Conflict-active phase Healing-phase *Digestive organs, kidney collecting tubules, pulmonary alveoli, uterus mucosa, prostate gland, etc. Chunk conflicts - Unable to get or get rid of something ("chunk").

Nerve conduction from brain to organ not crossed. Handedness doesn't matter! The digestive tract is arranged in a ring formation in the brainstem - according to Dr. Hamer, following its ontogeny (in my opinion this is an ancient building block of nature): protozoa (e.g., sea anemone), the model state for this, has a single opening for intake of nutrition and excretion. Right side: The nutrition (chunk) is ingested . Left side: The indigestible (chunk) is excreted. The same system has been assumed by higher species (including human beings) - but in order to make an elongated, not ring-shaped body possible, the ring was broken apart. The mouth and anus represent the beginning and the end of the former “digestive ring.“ Conflict theme: archaic “chunk“ conflicts; on the right side wanting to ingest/get something and on the left side wanting to get rid of something.

This is also true for microbes. Here, dead wood is being broken down by fungi. 4th Biological Law of Nature 4th Biological Law of Nature:9 The Ontogenetic System of Microbes This natural law states that fungi, bacteria, and viruses (nucleic acid-protein compounds) are indispensable aids (= symbiotic) and fulfill defined tasks. We know from CM about the classification of microorganisms into “good/mutualistic“ (e.g., coliform bacteria in the gut, mouth flora) and “bad/parasitic“ (e.g., tubercle bacteria, streptococci, viruses). The “bad“ has been given the blame for various “diseases,“ namely the “infectious diseases.“ This error occurred because coinciding with many "diseases," fungi, bacteria and viruses (nucleic acid protein compounds) are actually found in the body. What CM likes to conceal is the fact that if you look for them, you can find lots of microbes in healthy people too. If they are found in sick people, they are called “pathogenic“ (disease-causing) bacteria - “Here, we've found it! - It‘s an infection!“ They explain why one and the same germ sometimes makes you ill and at other times doesn't - on the basis of having a good or a bad “immune system.“ “Infection experiments“ have been repeatedly carried out in secret and have always brought back the same results: germs are partially transferable but the associated diseases are not. Microbes - The Firefighters If someone was investigating the cause of building fires, they might come to the following crazy conclusion: 9 Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine® - Brief Information, p. 29 “In all instances of building fires, fire department vehicles and firefighters were present.“ These vehicles and fire-fighters must bethe cause of fires! Right? Everyone knows that this is nonsense, because the firefighters are actually there to extinguish the fire. Fungi, bacteria, and viruses (nucleic acid-protein compounds) do just the same. They “put out fires“ and optimize healing. They are not to blame for the disease. Faithful Companions Microbes have been our faithful companion for a long time. Our body is “riddled“ with them down to the very last cell (e.g., mitochondria). In nature, nothing is “germ-free.“ On the contrary, every living thing is full of microbes (such as topsoil/humus). Since the beginning, we‘ve lived in perfect symbiosis with them. Without them, we would fall stone dead on the spot (cellular respiration, digestion). Dr. Hamer has found out that the three microbial species (fungi, bacteria, viruses) are controlled by different brain regions. From those regions, they receive their orders for targeted “operations.“ Important: Our little micro-surgeons work exclusively during repair phases! Fungi and Bacteria These work at the brainstem‘s command and clear away excess tissue from the inner germ layer (e.g., candida fungus in the gut and thrush fungus in the mouth). Night sweats means that they are currently at work. The brain-stem gives the command to multiply in the active phase (to produce an appropriate quantity for storage). If they are found in this (asymptomatic) active-phase, CM calls it “non-pathogenic bacteria.“ Bacteria There are many different types of bacteria. Each bacterium has a certain “special field,“ for example, the gonococcus in the urogenital tract or corynebacteria in the throat. A part of them is controlled by the cerebellum and destroys tissue (“old brain“ principle), and another part is controlled by the cerebral white matter and builds tissue (“new brain“ principle), e.g., bacteria help during the bone SBS to build up bone substance. Viruses To date, there is no direct evidence for viruses being the cause of diseases. “CM's virus evidences“ are all indirect tests based on the binding or non-binding of proteins to other proteins. These tests are not calibrated, because to do this, you would first need to isolate the virus. The evidence that viruses cause disease is therefore lacking. Undeniably, there are a large number of very small nucleic acid protein compounds (globulins) in the blood and other fluids of the body. These globulins can be roughly equated with these socalled viruses. It is possible that the cerebrum works with these proteins to build up missing ectodermal tissue in the repair phase (still unclear). How do we explain epidemics? Through collectively perceived conflicts in families (e.g., mom needs to suddenly go to work), school classes (e.g., difficult math 19 4th Biological Law of Nature test, exam week at the end of the semester), or entire regions (e.g., natural disasters or wars suffered collectively), this is where the group's common field of perception comes into play. Similar stress or negatively experienced emotions lead to similar diseases in the repair phase. See chapters: Vaccination p. 70 and Measles p. 323. Further aspect: If relationships are very intimate/are characterized by strong compassion (e.g. parent-child, husband-wife) the healthy person can feel solidarity with the sick person and also become ill (they unconsciously want to help/they feel guilty for feeling better). See also p. 34ff. This aspect often functions together as a unit with the previous aspect. Example: Polio (infantile paralysis) epidemic after WWII After the Second World War there was a polio epidemic in Western Europe. Vaccine supporters claim that polio was eradicated in the 60s thanks to vaccines. They have a strong argument, but is it correct? From the standpoint of the New Medicine, paralysis disorders (earlier polio, today referred to as MS) are a consequence of motor conflicts and the symptoms are usually first noticed during the repair phase. During WWII, when motor conflicts were the order of the day (“Where will the next bomb explode?” “Is the basement safe?” “We should leave the city – but go where?”) When peace came, thousands resolved their motor conflicts and came down with “polio.” Furthermore: The claim that polio viruses were discovered by Landsteiner and Popper in 1908 isn’t even theoretically possible. This is because Russka and Knoll built the first electron microscope in 1931. To this day, there is no direct evidence of polio viruses. See also the section on vaccinations, p.70. Example: Austria’s February flu epidemics Every year, Austria is plagued by a flu epidemic in February. Interestingly enough, this always begins in the eastern states (Vienna, Lower Austria) before it spreads westward through the western states (such as Salzburg, Tirol). This can’t be attributed to the wind direction, because the prevailing westerly winds would carry germs in the exact opposite direction. Those who are familiar with the New Medicine know: It is due to school vacation scheduling. Every year in Austria, the eastern states start their semester break a week before the western states. In the east, students, teachers and parents are delivered from the stress of school a week earlier. Thus, they also get sick a week earlier (healing phase). For the clustering of colds and flus in the winter see p. 71. Example: Everyone’s sick in the family business The owner of a bakery gets sick (bronchitis, flu) and “infects” half of her employees over the course of a week. History: For a year, the business has been running at its limit due to a lack of personnel. What this means for everyone is: getting up even earlier, shorter breaks and even less time off.

The owner knows the 5BLN and makes the right decision before recovering at home in bed, informing the staff: “Please see the manager with all your questions and concerns…” (Archive B. Eybl) Example: The whole family is coughing It started four weeks ago with the oldest daughter. Soon the mother, father and the other children were all coughing too. History: At a young age, the oldest daughter already had a boyfriend. Five weeks earlier, she asked her mother if she could travel alone with him to visit relatives in another state (first time). The mother, unsure if she should allow it, gives in after her initially hesitation, thinking: “Let her go.” She reports: “I was really proud, because I knew that I was going to have to let her go eventually.” The daughter was happy about her mother giving her “sanctuary” and the whole family sensed the freedom, the letting go, the open possibilities. = collective resolution of a territorial conflict. The unwritten family rule was: “The family must always stick together.”8 Before the trip was over, the daughter began to cough. Additionally, her neurodermatitis flared up again (= separation-conflict resolution). Mother’s conditioning: Her parents live with and for one another wholeheartedly. One can never be without the other. Note: After a few weeks, all of the family members’ coughing went away without any pharmaceutical medications. (Archive B. Eybl) Reservations/open questions Microbes can only be a problem if they are not part of our “body flora.“ We come in contact with “unknown“ bacteria strains, for example, when traveling overseas. They provide the body with the difficult task of integrating previously unknown bacteria and fungi into the body‘s microbial pool. Aside from that, I think that a sick, poisoned environment can also give rise to pathogenic microorganisms. In this context, it is interesting that the medical medium Anthony William (MediThe climax of the healing phase determines whether we will make it = repair crisis. Everything is OK again. We have gotten well and are even stronger and wiser than before. A new adventure is already waiting. Suddenly, we are caught off guard (biological conflict). We only think of the ONE thing and try to resolve our conflict with all our power = conflict-active phase We succeed in solving the challenge = conflict-resolution We are healthy! The stress is over, the body demands its due - we feel "sick" = 1st part of the repair phase The worst is over. Things are definitely getting better — 2nd part of the repair phase. 21 5th Biological Law of Nature ale Medizin, Arkana Verlag 2016) dates the emergence of the Epstein-Barr virus to the beginning of the later industrial revolution (around 1900). He sees this virus as a cause of very diverse diseases like chronic fatigue, hepatitis and fibromyalgia. In general, we still know far too little about the precise work of microorganisms, because for over a century, research has only been conducted to study “infection.“ 5th Biological Law of Nature: The Biological Reason for “Diseases“10 Dr. Hamer calls “diseases“ “Significant Biological Special Programs (SBS)“ with good reason. The name sums it up succinctly: Each “disease“ has a significant meaning. CM assumes that man is a random product of evolution, so the question of "meaning" has never been an issue. According to the CM paradigm, diseases happen by chance or because the “body machine“ did not get the right fuel or hasn't been wellmaintained, right? Understanding the meaning of “disease“ is probably the best thing about the New Medicine. With this understanding, we can gain insights into the processes of nature. We recognize that everything has evolved to fulfill a purpose. Every SBS has been proven over millions of occurrences. They only start when we are confronted by a certain exceptional situation, when we are caught off guard. The significance of colon cancer? “I still can't digest that to this day.“ - The conflict in colon cancer is “indigestible anger.“ For example, an employee is looking forward to an upcoming promotion when suddenly someone else is chosen instead. A cell division begins in the large intestine. These additional intestinal cells produce additional digestive juice, so that the “anger chunk“ can be better digested. The same special program starts in the wolf, when a bone (“chunk“) is stuck in the intestines. With additional intestinal cells, nature tries to break down the obstacle. In humans, it is not usually real pieces of food, but “job (chunk),“ “house (chunk)“ or perhaps even “sports car (chunk).“ The meaning of testicular cancer? Cell division in the testis occurs after a “loss conflict.“ For example: a close relative dies; the beloved cat gets run over or a child makes a permanent move to another city. Additional testicular cells produce more testosterone (male sex hormone) and more sperm. This hormone acts as a sexual boost, i.e., the reproductive instinct is increased, with the intended result being the quick replenishment of this loss. Nature does not distinguish between the death of a loved one and a beloved cat. Both cases initiate the same SBS to ensure offspring. Women respond to a “loss conflict“ with ovarian cancer. Cell growth in the ovaries causes a flood of estrogen. The high levels of estrogen make women very receptive to sex and ready to 10 see “Dr. Hamer, German New Medicine® - Brief Information“ p. 29. conceive. Again, nature steps in to insure rapid “replacement.“ In this case, this is provided by pregnancy. Musculoskeletal pain Musculoskeletal pain has the function of bringing a living being to rest so that the affected structure, which has proven to be too weak, can strengthen. Bone, cartilage, tendons, and muscles can only regenerate or rebuild when they are at rest (even cars have to stop if you want to fix them). When the repair phase (inflammation) is finished, the pain stops and the bone is fully resilient again; what's more, bone becomes stronger than before (luxury group). The associated conflict is the self-esteem conflict. The purpose of hyperthyroidism? When an individual suffers a conflict because they perceive themselves as being too slow, cell division begins in the thyroid. For example, a vendor has customers being “snatched away“ all the time because he is not fast enough. In this case, Mother Nature makes more thyroid tissue for a higher thyroxine output, which results in an increased level of activity for this living being. The vendor can now act faster. If the conflict is resolved, the thyroid tumor is destroyed by fungal bacteria (thyroiditis). The Meaning Beyond the 5 Laws of Nature According to my experience, the purpose of symptoms/illnesses sometimes goes beyond biology. The Law of Correspondence The reason often lies in the need to mirror psychic processes in the body so that they can be recognized = Law of Equivalence/ Mirroring. E.g., overly active joints (hyper-mobility) show signs of inner instability. Aside from this, all suffering/affliction also has a Spiritual Meaning This fact is hardly mentioned, even by most representatives of the New Medicine. I suppose this is because of their own adherence to materialism. However, the spiritual meaning associated with diseases is a reality, at least for a large part of the population. Long before Hamer, Thorwald Dethlefsen theorized on the meaning of diseases (in his classic book “The Challenge of Fate”). Today, Dr. Rüdiger Dahlke and the brilliant Louise Hay are among the most influential representatives of this view. What can the mental/spiritual meaning of diseases/accidents be? • Encouragement/compulsion toward a new purpose (e.g. career). • To prompt a change in one’s traditional attitudes towards life (e.g. superficiality, arrogance, ambition, greed). • To prompt a change in one’s lifestyle (e.g. forced rest and recuperation time, drug abuse intervention). • A test of one’s own trust/confidence (“everything will be alright”). • A test of one’s capacity for devotion (God knows when it’s right – to stay or to go). 22 Terminology a A few years ago, I was involved in a bicycle accident and I broke my wrist. For the first few days I was really angry because I had to cancel the next four weeks of appointments in my practice. I thought about the lost income and I felt useless. A few days later, though, I realized what a blessing this pause was and how well I was sleeping at night. New thoughts rose to the surface. I thought about the meaning of life, like I‘d often thought about it when I was younger. All my recent hustling and bustling suddenly seemed ridiculous to me. Today I can say: A broken wrist was ‘just what the doctor ordered’ at the time. (Own experience) Questions for discovering a spiritual meaning What is this disease/injury compelling me to do? What are the positive aspects of my present condition? Which people are now getting closer to me? Which old attitudes/habits do I have to throw overboard? Which new thoughts/emotions are welling up? In every case, the reasons will be highly individual and it is worth taking the time to examine them through deep introspection. Important Explanation of Terms “Benign“ or “malignant“ This classification is of great importance to CM, but not within the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. In CM, “benign tumors“ are considered harmless and peaceful, while “malignant tumors“ are considered to be aggressive and life-threatening. However, what does the biological reality really look like? What makes the “malignant tumor“ so “malign?“ The decisive factors for CM are size, appearance, growth behavior, and especially the biopsy findings: If in a microscopic examination reveals many enlarged cells with enlarged nuclei, then the diagnosis is "malignant." If uniform cell structures are found, the diagnosis is “benign.“ How does cellular growth function? First, the cell swells to almost twice its original size. The nucleus and the other constituent parts of the cell double themselves. Shortly afterwards, the cell constricts in the middle and divides. One cell becomes two. The “offspring“ have - in comparison to the rest of the mass - large nuclei. Here, CM speaks of “malignant tissue.“ More correct here would be simply to speak of “growing tissues.“ This division gets even more absurd when you know that the boundary between “benign“ and “malignant“ is anything but clear. The same tissue sample often produces divergent findings in different laboratories. The specialists often contradict each other. This happens frequently when the tumor is just beginning to grow or growth has almost come to a standstill. We used to think tissue growth was a mistake of nature and thus, said it was “malignant.“ We now know that tissue does not randomly start to grow. An SBS will only start if there is a biological necessity. If one were to put embryonic or wound-healing tissue under the microscope, according to CM, it would be classified as malignant, “because we see brisk growth.“ A similarly absurd diagnosis would be a tissue sample from a healing fracture. The tissue at the break does not differ from the bone cancer tissue, osteosarcoma. We would get the same results from a tissue sample of a pregnant woman‘s breast. During this phase, mammary cells multiply. Conclusion: we should quickly forget the classification into “benign“ and “malignant“ tissues because it has nothing to do with science. Metastases “Metastasis is the spread of a cancer from one organ of the body to another... Metastasis is widely accepted to be the result of the tumor cells' migration...“ These assumptions can be found in Wikipedia. They are only eluded to as a hypothesis in relation to other hypotheses. Unfortunately, I know of no cancer patient In this picture, we see cells with greatly enlarged nuclei (2). The dark coloration of the preparation shows an increased cell metab- olism. Some cells divide (3). All together clear indications of grow- ing tissues. CM findings: “malignant.“ New Medicine findings: repair phase of a female territory-loss SBS. Source of both imag- es: a hospital laboratory. The two images show smears from the cervixes of two different women (400 × magnification). Above we see almost equally sized cells with normal pale-small cell nuclei (1). Few are undergoing division = not growing tissues. CM findings: “benign or regular“ 23 Terminology Conflict Persistent conflict activity Strong persistent sympathicotonia Mild persistent sympathicotonia Downward transformed conflict Conflict Repeating conflict = recurrence Multi-phase course of events (recurring conflicts) = alternating sympathicotonia and parasympathicotonia Repeating conflict = recurrence Conflict activity Repair phase Repair phase Repair phase Conflict activity Conflict activity Conflict active phase Conflict Repeating conflict– recurrence Repair phase Repair phase Repair phase Repeating conflict– recurrence Persistent repair: permanent parasympathicotonia with short active phases The image on this page is based on the graphics of Dr. Hamer on insert 016 of the CD-ROM “Neue Medizin“. 24 Terminology who has had it explained to them as a theory. On the contrary, “metastases“ are presented as medical fact by CM. Blood donations: Why is the blood from blood donors not examined for “metastases“? Would that not be a medical concern, when you consider that on average, every 4th person falls ill with cancer during their lifetime and “metastases“ might be in the blood donor's blood? Mysterious migrations: How can cells of an intestinal primary tumor “resettle,“ for example, in the bone (“bone metastases“) and suddenly turn into bone cells? How can specific intestinal cells turn into bone cells? Upon examination, nothing else can be found in the supposed bone metastases. What then are “metastases“ if they impossible? They are newly formed cancers (second or third cancers), usually caused by conventional medicine's death-diagnoses and prognosis shocks. “You have prostate cancer!“ or “The liver cancer in you is very aggressive. Realistically, you have one more year. Enjoy the time you have left and get all your affairs in order.“ So, if you get information like this without knowing the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, you will suffers a massive conflict. If the patient feels, for example, the fear of death at that moment, a new SBS begins with cellular growth in the alveoli, as it combines the fear of death with “getting too little air.“ After a few weeks and a series of "continuous" check-ups, the so-called pulmonary nodules are found. It may also happen that a man will suffer a self-esteem conflict along with a prostate cancer diagnosis: “After the surgery, I‘ll probably be impotent.“ In this case, “holes“ (osteolysis) form in the bones of the pelvis or the lumbar spine that CM calls bone cancer. Why is it that you almost never find “metastases“ in animals? Fortunately, dogs, cats and parrots do not understand when the doctor tells their owners about the “malignant cancer,“ which their pet supposedly has. The animal is happy that the visit to the vet is over and it‘s on its way back home. Another reason why animals are diagnosed with cancer less frequently than humans is because animals are scanned less frequently. Immune system We do not use the term immune system because there is no such thing. The fight against hostile invaders (CM's “antigens“) does not exist any more than the fight against cancer cells. What does exist is a kind of “waste disposal“ system for the body: i.e., scavenger cells (macrophages) break down e.g., dead cells and cell debris. These substances are excreted through the lymphatic system and the blood (= sewer system or drainage system). Also, terms like “immunoglobulins,“ “antibodies“ and “antigens“ are superfluous. It would be better to speak of proteins or globulins. Recurring conflicts - the multi-phase process (Diagram top of page 23) Ideally, after the completion of an SBS, the individual returns to health (normotonia). That would be the ideal biphasic course. As it happens, however, multi-phase processes are far more common. Here, after a shorter or longer break, the person is afflicted again by the same or a similar conflict (recurrent), either by a repetition of the conflict or a conflict trigger. The intensity is usually lower in the case of recurrence, because we “already know“ the conflict. Nevertheless, we must pass through the entire SBS conflict with its conflict activity, repair phase and repair crisis again. This often happens again and again, like a broken record. Recurrences and triggers are extremely important in practice, because much of the suffering that confronts us in everyday life is not based on new conflicts, but on the recurrence of old conflicts or conflict triggers. These are complaints that happen again and again without any apparently serious conflict (e.g., repeated stress/frustration at work or constant arguing with your partner). Often, recurrences also happen in the form of memories or dreams. Persistent conflict activity (central diagram on page 23) If an individual‘s conflict cannot be solved, it remains constantly in the stress phase and does not make the transition to the repair phase. We speak of persistent conflict activity. A pure, persistent conflict is literally a single-phase process and leads to exhaustion or death. Normally, to keep it from coming to that, we instinctively “adapt“ ourselves to the conflict (downward transformed conflict). Statements such as, “I'll just have to live with it,“ or “I can't change it, but I suppose it's not so tragic anymore,“ indicate a conflict that has been transformed downward. In practice then, we speak of persistent conflict activity if the activity is interrupted by brief partial solutions, but the active phases predominate (strictly speaking, a multi-phase conflict with an emphasis on conflict-activity). a A department manager is demoted. He grapples with his loss-of-territory conflict and this affects his coronary arteries, but he makes the best of it and is now trying to enjoy life more. Nevertheless, at his workplace he is still slightly conflict-active. From this point on, he suffers from persistent angina pectoris (sign of an active coronary artery SBS). Persistent repair (lower diagram on page 23) With persistent repair, the situation is reversed. Here, the repair phases predominate the multi-phase progression. Short active phases alternate with longer repair phases. The healing always begins anew, but unfortunately, it is incomplete. “Hay fever“ example: Just before summer vacation, a student finds himself on the borderline between passing and failing. Despite his best efforts, the teacher gives him a failing grade. The student “can't stand it“ because now his summer is ruined. Affected organ: nasal mucosa. Trigger: pollen in early summer. From this point onward, he suffers periodically from “hay fever“ - persistent healing. (Runny nose is a symptom of the repair phase of a fed up conflict.) Triggers At the moment of conflict, the subconscious usually records all of the circumstances accompanying the shock. These accompanying circumstances are stored under the heading “warning signals“ and are retrieved on demand from the sub- 25 Terminology conscious database. Accompanying circumstances are all sensations that are perceived as being connected to the conflict in question: Certain pollen (e.g., birch) or fungal spores in the air, certain scents (e.g., perfumes), wind, drafts, cold, heat, dust, certain types of music (e.g., jazz) or music in general, certain types of noise (e.g., car horns) or any noise, certain voices (e.g., loud male voice) or certain colors. Foods that you eat during a conflict can especially become triggers; however, bodily sensations such as hunger, thirst, a full stomach, cold feet or wet hair can also become triggers. When a sensory impression matches a "warning signal" from the subconscious database, the brain reacts: “Caution! XY conflict! - Start the SBS immediately!“ By means of the conflict triggers, the subconscious “remembers“ the original conflict and starts the SBS. Most of our triggers are “collected“ in the time between our conception and adolescence. Put positively, these early conflicts shape our being, our character.12 For example, our first contact with water decides if we will feel comfortable in it or whether we'll avoid it for the rest of our lives. If we experience any conflict in or with water, water will become a trigger for that particular conflict.1312 a A toddler nearly drowns in a swimming pool and suffers a liquid conflict as a result of the accident. It is probable (but not a given) that water will be added to the “warning“ database, i.e., it becomes a trigger. Later in life, the person often can't remember the conflict all; however, he notices that his blood pressure is always higher after a bath. (See p. 270.) 12 In psychology, this is called conditioning. 13 Psychology: water is associated with the negative. Note: A trigger always causes a recurrence and the SBS will start again. If it is possible to resolve the conflict, the trigger becomes irrelevant. Triggers or recurrences are the basis for all allergies. a Mold allergy: A student lives for a year in a small cottage. It is poorly heated, the walls are partly moldy. One day, a big argument with his best friend takes place in this house. Bad smell conflict: “I can't stand this guy anymore.“ The mold spores in damp rooms become the trigger here. From this point on, the patient was allergic to mold or damp rooms. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 40 year-old mother of two has suffered from gastrointestinal issues since she was 23. She experiences a her allergic reactions especially after eating fruit. The following comes to light: When she was 23 and still living at home, she dropped out of college against the will of her parents. At the dinner table, there were constant arguments over this. There was always a large fruit bowl on the table = indigestible anger conflict affecting the intestines. Trigger - fruit. (Archive B. Eybl) Procreation from a biological perspective The cycle of sexual reaction in humans and animals is a perfect educational example of how Mother Nature uses the elements of sympathicotonia, parasympathicotonia (vagotonia) and epileptic crisis according to her need. The following describes the male processes in colloquial language: Normal condition - not aroused: standard day-night rhythm, normotonia, everyday life (1st section). Sexual distress: “There she is; I want her. I desire her so much. How can I win her over? What will it be like?” = stress, tension, compulsive thought like in the conflict-active phase of an SBS. Relaxation, intercourse: “I have her!” = resolution of the “sex- "Sexual distress" Relaxation I = "intercourse" Relaxation II = "sleep" Orgasm 26 Terminology ual emergency” > relaxation, vagotonia. Now the penis ring muscles, the bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus, contract around the base of the penis and it becomes erect. (Even at night, men have long erection phases during deep sleep due to the strong vagotonia). Orgasm: With its involuntary, whole-body contractions, the orgasm constitutes the epileptic crisis (the highest form of sympathicotonia) from natural elements. During these few seconds, both penis ring muscles relax and the penis retractor muscle contracts. This frees the way for the flow of semen. In an SBS, this is where edemata (fluid) is pressed out during the repair phase, here, seminal fluid. Relaxation, sleep: After the orgasm comes the “sleep,”the second phase of the parasympathicotonia. In females, everything functions similarly. During the female orgasm, the cervix’s exterior orifice opens and the cervix makes peristaltic pumping motions to help transport the sperm cells. Right afterward, the cervix closes again. Among other realizations that this knowledge gives us, it is clear that sex/procreation can only be successful during a state of relaxation. Pregnancy from a biological perspective Knowledge of the two-phase process has important practical consequences for our understanding of pregnancy. The moon orbits the Earth in 27.3 days. A pregnancy lasts about 273 days. The first part of the pregnancy - approx. 3 months is sympathicotonic. This causes a boost in growth for the organs controlled by the brain stem and cerebellum (see p. 16) (= sympathicotonic tailwind). The woman is generally nervous, at least not totally relaxed. The cervix is slightly dilated. In these first three months, nature leaves itself the possibility to end the pregnancy through miscarriage. 80% of miscarriages take place within this period. The most common reasons: too much stress, hectic lifestyle (“superwoman”), active conflicts, noise and/or necessities of fate (family energy, karma). The second part of the pregnancy lasts about six months and is characterized by parasympathicotonia (vagotonia). Now, primarily the organs controlled by the cerebrum are growing (see p. 17). After the first three months are over, the conditions are so good that nature will now want to carry the pregnancy to term. The cervix closes, the woman becomes relaxed and cannot be so easily perturbed anymore. The radiant period! Only severe conflicts can put the mother into such a state of turmoil that the pregnancy would now come to an end. The birth can be described as an epi-crisis. The first labor pains already count towards the birth. They end the vagotonia, the pendulum now swings in the other direction to strong sympathicotonia. Our usual method of placing a mother on her back for the entire birth makes the process more difficult: better would be changing positions with squatting and on hands and knees. The nursing period should last long enough (for the infant) and is again characterized by vagotonia (relaxation). It can be classified as the second part of the “repair phase.” Like during an SBS, now liquid in the woman’s body is eliminated. The mammary glands are sweat glands that were modified over the course of our developmental history - these now “sweat” the mother’s milk out. If we consider the diagrams below: the red phases are highly intense periods of sympathicotonia in which all events are exactly imprinted in the subconscious. This is where the conditioning happens that we would like to discuss now. Conception Birth Pregnancy 2nd part Nursing period Pregnancy 1st part 27 Conditioning Conditioning The 5 Biological Rules of Nature are undoubtably true. They are valid for every living being. However, it would be a bit shortsighted to assume that a person's health is dependent solely on the individual conflicts experienced during their lifetime and how they overcame them. For this reason, we need to turn to the important questions that lie behind the conflict - how it could even arrive at this point. Which internal, psychological conditions have to exist to give rise to this or the other conflict? Why do we react so sensitively to one issue when it doesn’t seem to matter to others much at all? What makes us into who we are and how we behave? We should approach this from the firm footing of biology: The most essential biological need of people, animals and plants is survival. • Survival of the individual – the 5 Biological Laws of Nature set forth and explain our survival programs (SBSs). • Survival of the species – these relationships will be explained in the following. The sum of an individual’s experiences and the sum of a species’/ family’s experiences form an “experience database” from which we base our daily decisions. Can a species, can a family compile an experiential database? At the University of Zurich, the neurologist Isabelle Mansuy conducted the following experiment with her team: She repeatedly separated baby mice from their mothers and locked them in tight tubes. Afterwards, the mice behaved like traumatized people: risk-averse, apathetic and lacking curiosity. In their genes, the researchers found “traces of epigenetic trauma.” In the second decisive step, they extracted egg cells from normal, adult mouse mothers and artificially inseminated them with sperm from traumatized mouse fathers. The resulting mouse children, who never suffered trauma themselves and never had contact with their ancestors, were still risk-averse, apathetic and lacking curiosity. In contrast, the control group behaved as normal. Mansuy was also able to prove that a comfortable environment was able to reduce or heal the symptoms over the course of their later lives. Conclusion: Trauma is hereditary – at least in mice (https:// academic.oup.com/eep/article/4/2/dvy023/5133241) Therefore, anyone who finds the following examples to be too unbelievable, who thinks that we are leaving the firm footing of biology here, they should reflect on Mansuy’s mice. Conditioning from the Family The feedback relationship between the family and the individual has come to our attention in recent years through “family constellations/systems therapy.” Thanks go to the following people for their research into and writings on these relationships, among others: Fromm-Reichmann (neopsychoanalysis), Nathan Ackerman (family therapy), Jacob Levy Moreno (psychodrama), Mara Selvini Palazzoli (“Milan Systems” model), Iván Böszörményi-Nagy (contextual/intergenerational model), Anne Ancelin Schützenberger (psychotherapy, family tree – genosociogramme), Bert Hellinger (Family Constellations), Dr. Claude Sabah and Angela Frauenkron-Hoffmann (Biological Decoding). a A 22 year-old student has suffered from a bladder infection for 10 weeks (= chronic, repeating territory-marking conflict). Her story: For the first two years of her studies, she lived in her own apartment in Vienna, but for financial reasons, she moved into a shared, student apartment 11 weeks ago. After moving in to the apartment, she drove to visit her parents. When she came back, she found her things "pushed to the side" = territory marking conflict ("my territorial borders were not respected"). Despite discussing the situation and "feeling comfortable in the apartment," the conflict persists. Why? The following conditioning factors came to light: While her mother was pregnant with her, their family lived with her father's parents on a farm. The mother-in-law was constantly violating her mother's private sphere (territory) and her mother divorced a few years later. Just becoming aware of the connections seemed to have a therapeutic effect. For further treatment after that, we made an additional, internal voyage back to the unborn child and her mother at the time. The symptoms disappeared and have not returned. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 38 year-old office worker is married and has two children, 7 and 10 years-old. He has an athletic/muscular build even though he isn't very physically active at all. He came to my practice because every time he does any physical labor, he always gets terrible back pain for several days afterward. E.g., in the summer, he helped his neighbors with building their garage for a day. The result was three consecutive days of intense back pain. CM diagnosed him with a protruding disc between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. Recently, he changed the tires on his car. Again he was in pain the next day! After doing office work, aside from slight tension, he never has any complaints. 28 Conditioning In the eyes of the New Medicine, it seemed to be an open and shut case: a self-esteem conflict brought on by physical labor - he knows that he's not the best handyman - repair phase spans the subsequent days. As his "therapy," I advised him that when he did any physical labor, he had to make sure he told himself, "It's not a big deal," etc. His symptoms, however, didn't get any better. Why? The solution was too shortsighted and the cause lay deeper. During one of his next appointments, I asked him spontaneously, "What did your father and your grandfather do for a living?" Answer: "My grandfather was a farmer, but came back from Russia with only one leg after the war. He had to give up farming because he couldn't do the work anymore. They took pity on him and gave him a post in the local government. My father had to take over the farm work at an early age because of my grandfather's disability and at the same time he was studying to become an electrician. After a few years, he couldn't do any more physical labor because his back was shot, so he had to switch to an office job." Now we were getting somewhere: the patient was carrying the same conflict that his forefathers couldn't resolve. This is why he reacted so sensitively to physical labor. The guiding principle from his grandfather and also his father: "I can't do physical work anymore." Knowing this was the key that this person needed to move forward. It opened up new therapeutic opportunities, namely recognizing the traumata that his direct ancestors experienced, acknowledging it and illuminating it with love. (Raising the patient's awareness - more on that later). We become increasingly aware of the interdependencies between the family and the individual when we shine a light on the family's history. For being able to draw on the results of the research into these connections, I owe a debt of gratitude to, among others, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann (neo-Freudianism), Nathan Ackerman (family therapy), Jacob Levy Moreno (psychodrama), Mara Selvini Palazzoli ("Milan systems approach"), Iván Böszörményi-Nagy (multi-generational perspective), Anne Ancelin Schützenberger (psychotherapy, family tree - geno-sociogram), Bert Hellinger (Family Constellation) Dr. Claude Sabah and his student Angela Frauenkron-Hoffmann (biological decoding). The following are some of the most important guiding principles: Everyone is connected to everyone This concerns family members in particular. In families, the networking is so strong that we can almost consider it as an independent creature. We and our children are the last members in a long line of ancestors. As such, we carry all the experiences of our ancestors - the good as well as the bad - in ourselves. A child is, if you will, the result of all of this experience. The experiences that are most important are usually those of the parents and then the grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. In the family, all events are recorded and the bad/negative wants to be redeemed. In some families, similar tragedies happen again and again. The descendants are confronted with an unhealed issue until it is healed. Even harmless events remain in the family chronicle. Nothing comes from nothing Everything proceeds according to psychological or biological habits. Every abnormality, every symptom, every disease in a person has a cause. These can either be found in the life of the person in question or in the lives of their ancestors. As with a tree, the leaves (children) get nourishment from the trunk and roots (parents, ancestors). The tree (family as a whole) is dependent on the leaves (children), because this is where the real life is taking place, in the form of photosynthesis. The leaves and bark (the survivors) allow the tree (the family) to grow. The heartwood (of the tree) forms the base and supporting structure. For example, a child may have difficulty learning a foreign language because an ancestor was “opposed“ to this language (due to the stress of learning it, by displacement, emigration, hatred of a language group, etc.). a An example from the book by Frauenkron-Hoffmann: The 5 year-old Laura can absolutely not stand to be separated from her mother (i.e., go to kindergarten). The cause is found in an interview with the mother: Laura‘s great-grandmother was an adopted child. At the age of one year, she was given away by her birth mother. Laura has saved the experience of the great-grandmother, although she doesn‘t know her. She lives in constant fear that she could lose her mother. Laura was told this story, as part of the “therapy.“ Her mother also assured her that what had happened to the great-grandmother would never happen to her. This released the fear pattern in the girl and she suddenly liked to go to kindergarten. (see Frauenkron-Hoffmann, So befreien Sie Ihr Kind, p. 38) Both of the following testimonials touched me very deeply. They are from the Austrian therapist Alexandra Kutin. a Leg pain A 5-year-old boy came into the practice with his mother because, since he was very little, he had always had 29 Conditioning extremely strong pain in his legs at night. Nothing had helped up to this point. While I performed healing-code therapy on him, his legs kept twitching. Two weeks later his mother told me that after the treatment, her son kept writing “Opa” (grandpa) on a piece of paper. I asked if the boy’s grandpa or great-grandpa had problems with their legs. She looked at me in shock and said, “I would have never thought of that. My grandfather had both his legs amputated and he had extreme phantom limb pains.” As his mother told me this, the boy’s legs were shaking. We performed a letting-go ritual. After that, the pain was gone. a Three-year-old girl wont’s speak. A mother came into my practice with her 3-year-old daughter and told me that her little one hadn’t spoken a word up to this day. Instead, she blabbered in a language nobody could understand. I asked her about the birth experience. The mother broke into tears and told me that a caesarian section was necessary. However, anything other than a natural birth had been out of the question for her, because her own mother is a midwife and her credo has always been, “A child comes into the world naturally, and without painkillers.” I asked her if she had been able to come to terms with the birth afterwards. She answered that since then, i.e. for three years, she has never spoken to anyone about how she wasn’t able to give birth naturally. I performed a “healing code” with her and afterward we had a long conversation. Three weeks later, she called me and told me that her daughter began speaking only a few days after their visit. Note: The grandmother’s credo became the mother’s belief structure, “A child comes into the world naturally, and without painkillers.” This belief structure contradicted her own life experience. Instead of reconsidering the phrase in the light of the circumstances, she ignored the trauma and never spoke about it. Her daughter was mirroring her mother. She wasn’t speaking – at least not in an intelligible language. When the issue was resolved and the mother’s energy began flowing again, her daughter’s blockage was also resolved. Similar fates within families show us that the issue that these people are dealing with has not been resolved/healed yet. This is why it appears again. • The patient - a third-generation hairdresser - comes to an appointment with Mrs. Schützenberger in a neck brace because of a car accident and talks about her family history: Her grandmother experienced the Armenian genocide first-hand. She saw her mother's and her two sisters' decapitated heads on the ends of lances. "There were so many heads!" The relationship to the hairdressing occupation over three-generations: The daughter and granddaughter care for and beautify heads. Mrs. Schützenberger comments:"... as if they could somehow undo the genocide while at the same time needing to remember it and its injustice ..." Further details: 1. The patient was wearing a neck brace. 2. Her daughter was - almost strangled by the umbilical cord - born handicapped and died young (again the neck). After this, she didn't want to have any more children. 3. The patient's sister, also a hairdresser, had a child that was born with a deformed skull. "Its brain was running out of its head." (see Anne Anceline Schützenberger, Oh meine Ahnen! S. 147ff) Unspoken and repressed When unpleasantness within families remains repressed or unspoken, these things have a higher likelihood of coming out "into the open" over the following generations - sometimes in very peculiar ways: a A 3 year-old girl suppresses her natural bowel movements, sometimes for days. She puts herself through this ordeal the most when she is constantly with her parents, e.g., on vacation. At preschool, the problem isn't so pronounced. Her mother has already tried everything possible, e.g., "poo-poo games" to make it a positive experience, but nothing helps. The little one is even frightened when someone else has to the toilet to go number two. During her appointment, the mother can't think of any conflict that her daughter might be having. For this reason, I directed my focus on the parents and asked if there is anything that they aren't allowed to or don't want to let out? "Yes, there is something!" answered the mother. My husband suffers from the so-called Tourette syndrome and that puts a lot of strain on our relationship. When he's relaxed, he makes arbitrary, animal-like sounds. In everyday life, at work, he always has to pull himself together, but when he relaxed, he lets it all out." That's it! He wasn't allowed to let his dreadful grunting out. His daughter wasn't letting her stinking feces out. She was mirroring for her father. The family had to come to terms with the situation. Therapy: The parents should speak about it openly and think about why the father isn't allowed to let out his ugly unpleasantness. (The father's family has a history of not discussing anything unpleasant). A few months later, I learned that the little girl was now going to the toilet normally (Archive B. Eybl) Things left unresolved Sometimes children act out what parents or ancestors could not translate into action and, in this way, facilitate the healing of the family. Here‘s an example from a book by Achleitner-Mairhofer: A mother is worried about her young son: He belongs to a group of right-wing extremists. He hates foreigners and feels an intense need to protect Austria and his family. It turns out that the boy is "enmeshed" with his late grandfather: During World War II, while his grandfather was on duty, his family was driven out of their Czechoslovakian homeland. All were able to flee, except the grandfather‘s sick, old mother, who had to be left behind. Shortly thereafter, she died in a Czech concentration camp.From then on, the grandfather hated the Czechs and he could never forgive himself for not being 30 Conditioning able to save his mother. Now to the heart of the matter: The boy in question hardly knows anything about his grandparents, but because he is enmeshed with his grandfather, he now feels what his grandparents were feeling. He hates foreigners (and doesn‘t know why). Since his grandfather couldn‘t protect his family, the son feels the need to protect his family - the son must basically continue to serve up the hate that his grandfather‘s unwillingness to forgive left stuck in his throat. In the course of a family constellation session, the therapist had the son say the following healing words: “Grandpa, I see your helplessness and your grief for your mother.“ Then she had the grandfather and son bow before the fate of the grandmother and the fate of the Czechs. (see Achleitner-Mairhofer, Dem Schicksal auf der Spur) If we were to concentrate solely on the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, we would diagnose in this young man with a bio-aggressive constellation. (See p. 373) However, it would remain unclear why the patient, perhaps for almost no reason at all, reacts in this way. Why was he so susceptible to this conflict? Knowledge of the family history is essential for therapy: In the case of the boy, we can learn the cause of his susceptibility to a territorial-fear conflict - the enmeshment with his grandfather, and resolve it. Vertical Family Waltzes Just like in nature, everything pulsates musically-rhythmically and this is also the case with families. It's easy to trace the duple metre: Here, the connection between the child and its grandmother/father is profound. We see similarities in character, health or in the course of their lives. The 3 beat rhythm represents the connection me and my greatgrandmother/father or between my child and my grandmother/father. You should pay especially close attention to this 3 beat rhythm when it comes to children born with disabilities. In practice, you should keep an eye out for dramas that played out in the lives of their great-grandparents. The key to understanding the disability might lie there. Horizontal Family Waltzes This “musical piece” is somewhat more complicated – here, we’re dealing with relationships according to the order of conception. Miscarriages, stillbirths and abortions are included in this order. Every conceived child is numbered (e.g. also children from earlier partners). Position 1 = the first conceived Position 2 = the second conceived Position 3 = the third conceived Position 1 = the fourth conceived Position 2 = the fifth conceived Position 3 = the sixth conceived Position 1 = the seventh conceived, etc. • Every child is assigned to one of three positions. • Now let’s look back a generation and make the same assignment for the mother and father. • If the mother is in, e.g. position 2, she transfers her unresolved issues to her position 2 child. • If the father is in position 1, he transfers his unresolved issues to his child/children in position 1 (which is/are the first concieved and the fourth concieved). • Now let’s look back two generations and make the assignments for both branches of grandparents. The same rule still applies: E.g. if the grandmother is the fourth conceived, she occupies position 1 and is linked with every grandchild who also occupies position 1. The point of the whole exercise it to understand whose unresolved issues someone has taken upon themselves. The realization alone is often enough to have an effect on the soul. The possible steps toward resolution are: 1. I can empathize with my ancestor’s life (and the issue we have in common). 2. I illuminate their life with unconditional love and gratitude (for the wealth of experience). 3. I transform the emotional aspect of this issue and use it to my advantage in my daily life. Nomen est omen When the same name is repeatedly given within a family, it forms a bond between these people. It can point to a similar fate, similar role/mission/expectation. This means that little "John" bears similarities to the old "John." As well intentioned as it may seem, you're not doing your child any favors when you give them the name of one of your ancestors. a A case study from Alexandra Kuttin, Austria: Jacob, a 9-year-old can’t spend one second alone, follows every step his mother makes and is afraid that he is dying. The mother had a brother who was never born. He would have been named Jacob, but he died in the womb at 8 months. Afterwards, Jacob’s grandmother battled with depression. Jacob’s mother felt like she had been left alone her whole life. For her, it was always clear: “If I ever have a son, his name will be Jacob.” Therapy: I performed a healing code with her and she did TREs (Trauma Releasing Exercises) every day. With Jacob, we crea- 31 ted a life candle (a ritual, because although he has the same name as his uncle, he is the one who is alive). After carrying out these measures, Jacob came down with extreme neurodermatitis for six weeks (a sign of resolution – see p. 318). His fear of being alone began to diminish and it was essentially gone after three months. Anniversary syndrome Important events that share the same date (e.g., births, deaths, weddings, accidents) indicate that these events/people share a connection and the issue behind them is waiting to be seen, acknowledged and healed. Also when the birth of one family member and the death of another roughly coincide, it can be that the one will take over the missions/burdens of the other. a A 39 year-old man is diagnosed with testicular cancer and after the operation, he declines all further treatments. It turns out that his grandfather died at the age of 39 after being kicked in the testicles by a camel. "Therapy"from Frau Schützenberger: "You can love your grandfather without having to die at the same age as he did!" (see Anne A. Schützenberger, Oh meine Ahnen! S. 138f) a A mother comes to a session because she is worried that her little, firstborn daughter could die of asthma. She reports that for generations in her family, the oldest child always died young. Their family tree goes all the way back to the time of the French Revolution. At the time, the family gave refuge to a priest who was on the run. When the terror ended, the priest came out of hiding and blessed the family with the words, "As thanks, the oldest of every generation will watch over you!" For two hundred years, the oldest child from every generation always became a "little angel in heaven" that has watched over the family. Was that a blessing or a curse? Did the new orientation discussion with Mrs. Schützenberger change the situation? At any rate, the girl regained her health and was still living 10 years later. (see Anne Anceline Schützenberger, Oh meine Ahnen! S. 175ff) Note: the scientist, Mrs. Schützenberger, doesn't believe in reincarnation or similar phenomena. She documents cases, asks questions about why, but doesn't provide any spiritually-oriented answers. Birth and death synchronicity When the birth of one family member roughly coincides with the death of another, it can be that the one will take over the missions/burdens of the other directly. Comparison: The relay runner hands off the baton (family issue) to the next runner. For the one, the race (life) is over, for the other, it is just beginning. Conditioning from Past Lives Even if we are only granted glimpses into past our lives under exceptional circumstances, I am convinced that our previous incarnations have a strong influence on us. Not all readers of this book will share my belief in reincarnation and I can accept this. I also understand that some think that it's wrong to place science (the 5 Biological Laws of Nature) and religion next to one another, but I am of the opinion that they do belong together. Schopenhauer called sleep the "brother of death." At night, one dies; in the morning, one is born. At the end of life, one dies and will be born again - if necessary. There is countless evidence, but every one of us, even the most serious, can only accept what we find in our personal world of convictions. Even the following example isn't evidence, but it is thought provoking: How are we supposed to understand one day in a person's life, without knowledge of the days, months and years that came before this day? How are we supposed to understand their current life situation and mannerisms, if we don't know their history? a Bound by an oath: A 55 year-old woman and single mother had a 30 year-old son with a special trait: He feels completely and totally responsible for her. E.g., she planned a trip to Asia. Without even thinking about it, her son said that he would accompany her (although the trip wasn't even interesting to him). He has a girlfriend of 10 years that he wants to move in with, but he stayed true to his mother, staying together with her in their home. At one point the mother went to see a psychic about another matter. The psychic told her that she wasn't here about another matter, but that she was here because of her son. She saw her son next to her and told her that they had already spent many lives together. The last time he was her husband. On his deathbed, he swore that if they should ever be reunited again, he would always take care of her. Today, he doesn't remember this oath, but he is still acting according to it. In a ritual with the psychic, the oath was declared to be null and void. She didn't tell her son anything about it, but soon noticed within a few days that he was behaving differently. He wasn't so courteous and helpful anymore. A few days later he informed her that he was moving in with his girlfriend and they were going to build a house together. (Archive B. Eybl) According to my experience, in practice, resonance from past lives can be considered similarly to resonance from ancestors. Seen in this way, it will become easier again and provide the same results: "Recognize yourself as a living being. Develop your character. Make amends with everything that was. This will not only help you, but it will help everyone." You can achieve a great deal by saying prayers that you have formulated yourself when they come from deep within your heart. Example: Through the dissolution of oaths: "I ask God to help me. Here and now, I release myself from all oaths, vows or promises that I entered into in this or in previous lives. I forgive myself and all involved who I have harmed through these bonds. I am now free. Thank you." Liberation from negative feelings: "I now let go of all feelings of hate, envy, anger and jealousy that I brought into this world in this life or in any previous lives. I am sorry that in doing so, I have caused others pain or injury. I now let go of these feelings forever." Conditioning 32 Conditioning Conditioning during procreation Procreation represents the (re)entrance into material existence, the beginning of an (re)incarnation, the start of a new life. The thoughts and feelings of the prospective parents, before and during procreation, already have an influence on the child. It is the difference between whether this procreation was an "accident" or a conscious act. A child that is conceived of pure love - ideally, the mutual wish to create a home for a soul - has the best start in life. It will be able to draw from a large well of primordial force and trust. Conditioning during pregnancy Its nest in the mother's body is the cosiest and best place for the child. Day after day during this intimate symbiosis with the mother, the little one collects and registers not only all of the mother's feelings, thoughts and words, but also those of the father, the rest of the family and their environment. This more or less creates the indestructible foundation of feelings and thoughts for its entire later life. It will become the basis for its perception of love, trust, joy and helpfulness, but also for its relationship to God. The foundation is also laid for the way it will deal with difficulties, relatives, authorities, etc. Most significant, though, are those thoughts and words that concern the child itself. However, even if what's being said isn't about the unborn child, it still feels like it's the one being addressed: I, you, he, she, it, we, they - regardless - the child applies it to itself. If during a fight, the future father says to the mother, “You don't understand anything!“ Does he know that his unborn child can possibly apply this to itself and later in life (eg., at school) may "understand little or nothing?" If the mother often thinks, “I feel so lonely,“ the child will later often feel “lonely.“ After all, it learned from a very early age to feel that way. • If the mother or father are worried that they might not have enough money for a (further) child, deficiency conditioning with regard to money could arise. It is probable that later in life, this child could attract this lack of money on itself, because it is already resonates with this condition. • If the mother, father or both are completely fixated on having a child of a certain sex and are then disappointed, it can turn out that later in life, the child will have problems with their gender identity. Typical example: the girl that tries with all her might to be a boy, gets her hair cut short and plays rough sports with the boys. Example: The 10 year-old Carl has cognitive problems - he is developmentally delayed and can neither read nor write. The cause: The mother wanted a daughter so badly after her firstborn was a son. When the gynecologist offered to let her know the sex of the baby, she said that she didn't want to know. From the corner of her eye, she saw that he entered the male symbol into her record. This shock accompanied her for the rest of the pregnancy. She cried often, trying to convince herself that the doctor made a mistake or that she read it wrong. The boy is now living the mother's perception disorder. He cannot (doesn't want to) read and write. He cannot absorb any knowledge and is extremely jealous of his younger sister. However, the causal history goes back even further: The parents of the mother (grandparents of the boy) wished for a boy after two girls. When she - a girl - was born, they were very disappointed. She naturally noticed this and therefore behaved like a boy. She wants to be like a boy. Her parents often say: “You‘re still our boy…“ As therapy, the mother should talk with her parents about this matter and meditate to heal her own gender-rejection. Every night at bedtime, she should say to her son Carl, “We are delighted that you‘re a boy. We are delighted that you are here with us.“ (Archive B. Eybl). • Unwanted child: If the mother or father consider an abortion, it is a tragedy for the child, because firstly, its trust in the father or mother is gone and also its joyful anticipation of life. It will be at the mercy of this dominant feeling. Later in life, this can be expressed by mistrust toward the parents or all people, an inability to make emotional commitments or by low self-confidence (one always remains unnoticed). • When the mother is a fearful person, she passes these fears on to her child. It will be just as overcautious as its mother. Most will even transfer the details: e.g., fear of losing their partner, of certain animals, of heights, etc. As the case may be, if the father behaves differently, this conditioning may be balanced (like always, it depends on who the child primarily takes after). • If the mother or father are afraid that the child could be sick or handicapped, a special fear seed is sewn: mistrust in one's own health. In the later life of the child, this usually leads to medical bondage (hypochondria) or frequent visits to the doctor. This parental fear is normally masked by solicitude: "We don't want to take any risks with our child, that's why we naturally take advantage of all of the recommended precautions." (Ultrasound, amniocentesis, etc.) The pediatrician will praise the parents for their "responsible" behavior and the media sounds the same trumpet. What we forget is that every preventative 33 Conditioning examination is done out of mistrust - and the child can sense it. Note: Examinations carried out for a distinct symptom are okay of course. • When the parents fight frequently, the child naturally picks up on this. The programming reads: "Fighting is normal and is a part of life." According to the law of resonance, it will attract conflict, even though it might possibly be longing for harmony. Certain conflicts can produce special impressions: a A 4 year-old preschooler refuses to sing and dance with the others, but alone at home she always sings with her dolls while she's playing. The cause: The father is a trucker and always likes to sing along with the radio while he's driving. During the pregnancy, whenever he sang along with the radio at home it got on the mother's nerves and she would say to him, "Why don't you just shut up! You're ruining the whole song!" After this programming was explained to the little one, she always sings along enthusiastically with the other children. (See FrauenkronHoffmann, So befreien Sie Ihr Kind, p. 24f) • Some of us (about 10 - 20 %) were not alone in the womb during the first weeks after conception, but rather, we had a twin. Nature/fate wanted us to be born, while our little sister or brother died off (and was reabsorbed). Most of those affected don‘t have any idea that this happened, but are sensitized to separation, departure, loss or death due to this early conditioning. > If someone has an inexplicable, heypersensitive reaction to these topics, a “lost twin” should be taken into consideration. Up until now, I have just sketched out some prenatal conditioning - trailblazers for later conflicts. Conditioning has limits - and conflict is blurry. What follows are the most common, concrete conflict situations that occur during pregnancy: • Noise of all types (domestic, traffic, construction, motorcycles, aircraft, fireworks, aggressive music, pop concerts). • Conflict: 1. noise components, 2. emotional components. • Danger or fear of all types. • Ultrasound examinations: The No. 1 preventative examination. The sound waves mean enormous noise stress for the child. Some can tolerate it, others can't and suffer hearing, territory or separation conflicts that manifest as corresponding diseases after birth. What's the use of the ultrasound? What's the use of knowing the length of the femur or the size of the head? • The amniocentesis is even more dangerous and prone to conflict. I wonder: Why take this risk? Would I abort a child who is possibly handicapped? Here is something on the subject from Werner Hanne's brochure "The Development of the Child - What's Going on There?" (Die Entwicklung des Kindes - was spielt sich da ab?): Is it not possible that a soul would like to incarnate in a body that doesn't conform to our expected norms in order to introduce the parents to a very important, albeit wholly extraordinary, learning experience? Conclusion: "Expecting mothers, step back from your daily lives and be happy about your child. Leave of all your worries and fears behind you and go forth in confidence!" Conditioning during birth According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann‘s observations, labor and delivery determine the child‘s approach to work and life's ordeals. The way the mother prepares herself to give birth can also be an indication of how the child (later as an adult) will cope with ordeals. Midwives or doctors should help the child to get through (through the birth canal). Later, teachers should help the child get through ordeals (tests). For the child, the teacher has a similar status to those who helped with their birth (positive or negative association). The birth is the first great challenge in life. The mother's anxiety before birth can later express itself as test anxiety in the child. A Cesarian section can condition the child insofar as that it now believes that it can't get anything done without external help. (Parents have to help extensively with school work, a need for tutoring; later in life, always trusting experts instead of one's own common sense). A normal birth - even if it was difficult - confirms to the child that it can do it, if it puts in the effort. Also, trust and confidence between the mother and child is strengthened. Children delivered by Cesarian section suffer more often from depression, respiratory illnesses and much more. This is probably also because oxytocin, a social-sexual hormone, is only sufficiently produced during a natural birth. Deciding the time of the birth normally affects the child as well: The release of cortisone from the adrenal cortex initiates the contractions. If the birth is artificially induced (usually for reasons of hospital organization), it could be that later in life, the child has difficulties making their own decisions. Some behaviors can be explained and thus resolved by understanding special circumstances at birth: a A 10 year-old regularly makes a "terrible mess" at the dinner table. Cause: During the delivery, a Cesarian section had to be performed because of a placenta praevia (placenta located in the lower uterine segment). The whole procedure culminates in a "terrible mess." The delivery theater was full of blood. For the boy, the mess was basically a prerequisite for survival. The mother explained the connection to him and told him that as of now, he can eat like a normal person, neatly, just like she does. Since then, the boy has acted normally. (see Frauenkron-Hoffmann, So befreien Sie Ihr Kind, p. 59f) Summary: "Expecting mothers, find yourself a good midwife and a good place for your delivery. Accept all help and devote yourself to love." Conditioning during the first years of life Conditioning can be generated throughout our whole lives - just think of how adults return after being at war. For the most part though, it is the "formative" years that make us who we are. This decreases as time goes on. Mind you, all of this unfolds according to the blueprint left for us by our previous lives, ancestors, pregnancy and birth. Survival after birth is not something that is self-evident, because without love, in the form of attention, warmth and nutrition 34 Children (mother's milk), we die. Strategies to receive love - to be loved - arise from our will to survive. These accompany us later, mostly unconsciously, through the rest of our lives. A baby learns: "When I scream, somebody comes. When I scream even more, mommy comes. Then everything's how it should be." "At nursery school, mommy isn't there. When I scream, auntie comes. That's okay. Once, I fell down and got a bloody nose. Then, mommy came right away. We went to the doctor and then home. Mommy loved me more for those few days than she had in a while." "That always works and I've learned: To be loved, something bad has to happen to me first, but it doesn't matter, because love is more important to me." Result: Suffering, sick, acts needy for love. Another child learns: "When I laugh, everyone comes and hugs me, even mommy comes and is happy. Result: friendly, perhaps even over-friendly. Or it learns: "When I do my homework, everyone praises me. That is nice." Result: hard working and conscientious for love. Or it learns: "When I can't do my homework, daddy comes and helps me. I have to do poorly in school, because then daddy will come. He gets angry a lot, but still, I have him with me." Result: A failure for love. I, myself, grew up in a home where efficiency was the most important value. I received my father's recognition when I performed, when I proved myself in life. At school, I was mediocre, but I was good at sports and this brought me my father's recognition. Even though my father passed away 20 years ago, I still try to be as efficient as possible..." The intellectual calls love recognition, but love is what we're all striving for - the small child, the adult, the elderly. The following example should show what a large effect a small event can have when it harmonizes with an important resonance: a A 50 year-old mother of 4 came into the practice, because right after ending a telephone call, she was hit with a sudden bout of brachial neuralgia that she had been suffering with for a week ("only birth was worse," pain killers didn't help). Her girlfriend had asked her over the phone if there was anything she could do to help her get her apartment in order now that her partner had died. Could this trifle have had such an effect? The following came to light: While she was still an infant, her oldest brother had died while he was still a small child. When she was two and a half, her second brother died. Finally, 4 years ago, her third brother died as an adult. After this last death, her parents forced her to immediately liquidate her brother's apartment, but she felt she still needed time to grieve. I sensed that for her healing, we had to go back to the little, two and a half year-old girl: We spoke to her and explained to her that she also is loved. "You are not alone. You are loved. Your mother loves you too, but she is grieving for her son." Then, we hugged her in our thoughts and sent her a portion of love from the present time. Immediately after the meditation, she reported that her pain had subsided by about 70%. The patient told me a week later that she now felt lighter than she had felt in a long time. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 62-year-old woman has been reacting with difficult constipation after eating corn salad “since forever.” Her mother had the exact same symptom: Constipation after eating corn salad. Therapy: She goes to her mother in her thoughts and establishes a deep connection, saying, “When you have trouble with corn salad, I shouldn’t have it any better!” Then she says to herself, “The corn salad constipation problem is all yours. It doesn’t have anything to do with me – I give it back to you in its entirety!” On the same day the patient ate a small portion of corn salad. The next day she enjoyed a whole bowl full. She was healed. (Archive B. Eybl) Children are different When we are looking for the cause of diseases in children (this also applies to house pets), we have to take two possibilities into consideration: 1. The child has suffered their own individual conflicts. Here, the 5 Biological Laws of Nature apply (see section). 2. The child is bearing something for its parents, ancestors or loved ones. In this chapter, we would like to delve into this aspect and thus, go beyond the 5 Biological Rules of Nature. Family-centered thinking is needed here. The essentials: Children do not yet carry any responsibility. This lies with their parents or ancestors respectively. The child can do nothing about its bad habits, weaknesses or misbehavior. In principle, it has no other choice. Indeed, it has a resonance with the issue. Through their behavior or their illnesses, children reveal the issues in their family or their surroundings that urgently need to be resolved or healed. This, or their behavior is part of a special survival strategy (this is most prominent with hyperactivity, see below). Finding the cause frees the way for healing. a A 3 year-old girl has recurring nightmares that wake her up because she feels like she's suffocating. Mrs. Schützenberger's research into the cause reveals that during WWI, the girl's great- 35 Children uncle fell to poison gas at Ypres and her great-grandfather was wounded at Verdun. After the issue was discussed as a family, the nightmares and complaints came to an end. The girl was born on April 26th 1991, Ypres witnessed the first major gas attacks of the war over April 26th 1915 (see. Anne Anceline Schützenberger, Oh meine Ahnen! p. 219f) Also, in the next two case examples, we may recognize that our little patients are not actually the real patients: a The 7 year-old Peter, an intelligent, right-handed boy, had been suffering for two years from epileptic seizures. It always started like this: First, his right eye twitches, then he pulls his arm up involuntarily and covers the affected eye with his hand, as if to protect it. CM diagnosed a “frontal lobe epilepsy“ and treated it with anti-epileptic drugs (unfortunately without success). When I asked about the family history, the cause was clear: Peter's father fell ill two years ago with a disease in his right eye. After surgery, it was better in the short-term, but eventually he became blind in one eye. The whole family had been worried ever since, the relationship between the parents and the financial situation was still tenser than before. Explanation: Due to his father's illness, Peter suffered a motor conflict. Now, he wants to actively protect his father‘s eye for him. He does not want his father to suffer. He does not want the family to break up. Therefore, during the seizure, he puts his hand over his right, "daddy-eye." The conflict “persists“ because of the continuing bad familial situation. Epileptic seizures are the healing crises of a motor conflict. The attacks will stop when the conflict is permanently resolved. Note: Children can usually cope well with parental disabilities. That said, suffering or quarreling parents have more potential to cause conflict in children. The main treatment for Peter would be harmony and joy being restored in his family.The father should tell him often that he is doing fine with only one eye and that everything is okay now. Healing sentence: “Thank you for taking that on for me, but now you don't have to do it anymore, because I‘m okay.“ (Archive B. Eybl) a Aortic valve stenosis: A 4 year-old boy was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis = persistent self-esteem conflict affecting the heart. History: When his mother was pregnant with him, his great-grandmother on his mother's side's was in critical condition with arterial sclerosis of the coronary arteries (her bypass OP was unsuccessful). Her only wish was to see her great-grandchild. She waited until after the birth and then died two weeks later. At the same time, the mother's mother, with whom she had a very close relationship, was diagnosed with restrictive heart valves. So, two close relatives had heart problems. The 4 year-old bore it with them (here, Hellinger speaks of "familial solidarity"). As the "therapy," I suggested that the grandmother and mother completely make their peace with the death and the heart problems respectively. The mother should say the healing phrase to her son: "People come and people go. Your greatgrandmother is doing well on the other side. We, the living, can accept that and we're also doing well. Thank you, but you don't have carry this weight for us any longer." (Archive B. Eybl) The following are, for the most part, derived from a book I recommend by Angela Frauenkron-Hoffmann, "Biologisches Dekodierung: So befreien Sie Ihr Kind" (Biological Decoding: How to Free Your Child): Screaming child It’s often difficult to know why an infant is crying. However, there is a reason – and it’s not always due to pain (e.g. gastrointestinal issues): a A baby whose screaming can’t be quieted (Case report from the Austrian therapist Alexandra Kuttin). The mother of a 4-month-old girl came into my practice completely exhausted. Sometimes her little one screamed day and night, almost constantly. I asked her to tell me about the birth and her pregnancy, but we didn’t find any possible trigger. I kept digging. Suddenly she started crying and explained that: Back then – two weeks before she knew she was pregnant – the horse she loved so much had died and she still hadn’t gotten over the loss. What she meant: “As soon as I knew that I was pregnant, I immediately tried to suppress my emotions so that the baby inside me didn’t have to deal with it too.” We performed a healing code to gain access to her cell memory. During the treatment, she imagined the death of her horse again visually. Two weeks later she called me and told me that, for the first few days, she had broken down in tears many times. Even her daughter was crying more. However, from this point on, her little daughter achieved a balance and her seemingly unstoppable crying came to an end. Note: The paradox – the mother wants the best for her child and forbid herself from grieving. The mother didn’t cry – but her baby cried instead. She was doing it for her mother – until the issue was resolved. Aggressiveness, destructive anger The child mirrors the anger that the mother and/or the father (or ancestors) keep bottled up inside (pregnancy) or express (presently). Therapy: Determine the anger-causing situation, evaluate it, acknowledge it, speak about it and resolve it. Explain to the child that it doesn't have to act it out anymore and thank them for pointing out the problem. a Four-year-old rebels and will not touch his penis: While talking with the mother, I didn’t find any disharmony in the family, except this: When this boy was one-year-old, his mother (and thereby the whole family) broke off all contact with her mother-in-law. For this reason, the boy’s grandmother was only able to see and touch her grandson once at his baptism. The mother’s reason: “I want to protect our children from the vulgar way she expresses herself. Furthermore, she was never interested in our son – after he was born, she didn’t even want to see him. This was completely different with our first-born girl – she 36 Children didn’t want to give her back.” I asked her about the mother-in-law’s story: After having a son, her husband’s mother wanted a daughter. Her second child was a girl, but it died in infancy. She was never able to come to terms with the pain. Then, she gave birth to another son – unfortunately not a daughter this time! > The grandson was carrying the information: “I will only be loved as a girl.” So he refused to touch his genitals. “I have to be rude and loud and sometimes hit people,” this way I’ll get my grandmother involved in this. Therapy: Reconciliation with the mother-in-law, then her son won’t have to carry the rebelliousness/vulgarity anymore. Secondly, only when the mother-in-law gets the chance to know and love her grandson will she be able to resolve her fixation on having a daughter. – With the information, “I will also be loved as a boy,” the child will be able to touch his penis again. A half a year later, I learned that the mother hadn‘t been able to bring herself to establish contact. However, the boy’s other grandmother worked on it subtly: In silent prayer and in conversations with the boy, she brought him closer to his grandmother. The result: He has become significantly calmer and more balanced. (Archive B. Eybl) Hyperactivity Children with Ants-in-the-Pants syndrome don't fidget for fun, but they do it because they have to. For them, constant movement is a part of their survival strategy. a A common situation: The mother has experienced a past miscarriage. She morns and thinks to herself, "The next time,I will pay very close attention to the child inside me and its movements. Then I'll be sure that it's alive." Now she is pregnant again and focused on her child's movements. For the child, the programming reads: "I have to move, otherwise I am (or will be considered) dead!“ a An example from the book by Frauenkron-Hoffmann: The 4-year-old Anton is hyperactive. His parents are nervous wrecks. The history: Anton‘s mother lost her baby in a previous pregnancy in the eighth month. She suddenly felt no fetal movement. Shortly thereafter, when she is pregnant with Anton, she directed all of her attention toward signs of life from her unborn baby. Once, she did not feel any movement, so she pushed against her stomach with her fist to induce fetal movements. The child receives the message: “I have to move, otherwise I‘m considered dead!“ This principle follows Anton in later life: “If I move, every body know that I‘m alive.“ His motto: “Always move!“ Therapy: Find the cause and explain to the child that the matter is now settled. Attention Deficit Syndrome (ADS) It comes to this when the mother or father want to "tune out" during the pregnancy but can't. • A pregnant woman has to listen to her mother-in-law and all of her endless stories the whole time. • After giving birth, a woman is visited by a flood of well-wishers who are constantly talking. She needs rest and tries to ignore them, because she is too polite to send them away. Another common situation according to Frauenkron-Hoffmann is: A woman accidentally becomes pregnant and doesn't want to accept the reality of her situation. The child learns from this: "It is better just to tune out when someone wants to tell me something," (teachers, parents). Reading problems can be an issue if the mother, father or ancestors have experienced stress while reading at decisive moments (especially during the pregnancy). The details of the problems provide a guidepost to the cause. A very slow reading tempo indicates, e.g., that someone was too slow (there wasn't enough time) or too fast (something important was missed). a A 6 year-old boy was far behind with his reading and was scheduled to repeat the school year again. During dictation though, he always did very well. History: The mother had prepared a prayer for the birth that she wanted to read when the contractions started. When the time came, the mother tried to read the lines, but she couldn't because of the stress. The boy was thus blocked. "I see letters, but I can't read them because of the stress." Whenever he has to read something, his brain remembers that = trigger. If the mother hadn't tried to force herself to read, this program wouldn't have been created. When he understood why he couldn't read, he quit having the problem, because it didn't make any sense anymore. (See Frauenkron-Hoffmann, So befreien Sie Ihr Kind, p. 23f) This boy was able to do it, otherwise his skills would have also been weak during dictation. He took up his mother's stress and carried it on; he was basically mimicking her. Grammar problems are, according to Frauenkron-Hoffmann, linked with the father, authority, order, law, police, etc. When a child can't follow the rules of grammar ("law and order") you should examine these issues among its forefathers. Conflict search: more often with the father or male ancestors than with the mother. Also, situ- 37 Getting into the practice ations during pregnancy or birth in which there was real stress. Therapy: Find the cause, examine it, acknowledge it and discuss it. Explain to the child that the issue is now resolved and thank them for pointing out the problem. They may now write according to the rules. Word or spelling problems Grammar orders the words in their proper places and defines their relationship to one another. Words stand for people, sentences for families. A child having problems with words or putting letters in the right place is not aware of their rank or their place in the family. E.g., friendly relationship between the parents and child (as opposed to a parental relationship) or true family relationships are actually being kept secret from the child. It is also possible that ancestors got into trouble because of family relationships that weren't clear. Therapy: see above. Foreign language problems indicate that the mother, father or ancestors are having or had stress with this language or the speakers/nation of the language. When the mother or father regularly criticizes a language group during the pregnancy, it is likely that this language group will be blocked for the child. It will be harder for them to learn it later. When one parent is bilingual, the partner should truly appreciate the second language and thus also participate in the "programming." a A woman had learned English and Russian very easily when she was younger, but she couldn’t get anywhere with French. Years later, she was able to realize why: “My father, who I couldn’t stand anyway because he hit me, would always lock me in my bedroom. He did this to me between the ages of four and six, because he was attending a French course in the evenings. At the time, my mother was studying in another city and my grandmother also wasn’t there very often. Still, even when someone was there, he wanted to lock me in my room. One time, when he was forcing me into my room, the door hit me in the nose – since then it’s crooked. Ever since I have become aware of these connections, my French has gotten much better. (Archive B. Eybl) a My mother is an absolute Francophile. She loved this language. My father acknowledged her enthusiasm. This is the reason that French in school was a walk in the park for me. I hardly had to study because I knew the grammar and vocabulary "just like that." Everything about the language simply made sense. Math problems Problems with division (common) can indicate that the child is afraid of "being divided apart." Standard situation: The parents fight - the child fears a "division" (divorce) or it fears a separation from its school class due to changing schools (class will be divided). Ancestral trauma of this sort can also be a reason. Problems with multiplication (rare) can mean that the family is getting into trouble because of "multiplication" (too many children). Problems with calculating percentages indicate that someone in the family had stress with percentages. • A 10 year-old girl couldn't calculate percentages. Cause: The parents were renovating their house during the pregnancy. The father was counting on a tax of 6%, but suddenly he realized that in their case, they would have to pay a 21% tax. He wasn't counting on that. (See Frauenkron-Hoffmann, So befreien Sie Ihr Kind, p. 105f) Therapy: Find out the cause, examine, acknowledge and discuss. Explain to the child that the situation is resolved and thank them for having pointed out the problem. Getting into the practice Remain realistic Without a doubt, the strength of the New Medicine and the 5 Biological Laws of Nature is that we can now understand and explain the body's processes. Cell growth and cell diminishing processes, inflammation and pain become comprehensible. This makes the New Medicine (in contrast to today‘s conventional medicine) a science. This leap in understanding is so great, it gives rise to extreme expectations: “If the New Medicine can explain almost everything, then it can certainly heal almost anything.“ This describes my experience and it is similar to almost everyone's reaction when they encounter the 5 Biological Laws of Nature for the first time. However, this is misleading. The fact of the matter remains, in spite of this knowledge, we can often do very little. This means that we have less influence on diseases processes - particularly with advanced cancers and psychosis - than we would like to have. This is not because the New Medicine is not correct; it is because we humans seem to be unable to cope with difficult situations and many continue to drag the same heavy baggage along with them for years. We are at the mercy of a culture of fear - pure poison for our bodies and souls. This is sobering and disappointing, but that's the way it is. Dr. Hamer raised enormous expectations in his publications. The 98% survival rates in the New Medicine, which he continued to claim, are nonsense. This number, which is hypothetical at best, could only apply to a time in the future when the New Medicine is used by all physicians in all clinics and in an era free from the fear of cancer. In the lexicon, starting on page 64, I describe all known SBSs and their ideal course: as a special, temporary natural/biological aid for optimally overcoming exceptional situations (conflicts). Nature anticipates that conflicts will be resolved in a relatively short time (a couple of days or a few weeks). This is how it is has evolved and how it should be. When this is the case, the SBSs run as described and they are actually beneficial. On the other hand, when conflicts last longer and are repeated over and over, vicious circles arise. Unfortunately this is often the reality we find ourselves in and this is when things can get ugly: tumors that enlarge, tumors that don't break down, pain that doesn't stop or always comes back. Nature and the New Medicine cannot be blamed for this. With this in mind, I ask the therapists who are reading this to be realistic and humble despite your enthusiasm. 38 Case study Case Example: Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a disease that mostly affects older women. It is a progressive loss of bone mass. As a result, the bones become weak and susceptible to fractures (e.g., hip fractures). Conflict: self-esteem conflict. During an extended conflict-active phase, cells in the bone break down. In the short time between regeneration phases (cell development) pain may occur. These are times when selfworth receives a boost, for example, through a beautiful event. (See also p. 338). The woman, now 61 years-old, is right-handed, a gymnastics and mathematics teacher and a single mother of one daughter, now an adult. She lives for sports: running, tennis, hiking, skiing, gymnastics, etc., usually in the company of friends. No one would have ever thought that such a physically fit, non-smoker with a healthy diet could be diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 47. During a checkup in August 1999, a “manifest osteoporosis“ was discovered in a quantitative CT scan. By September 2002, the values had deteriorated. In the left thigh, a density of 0.576 g/m3 was measured. She takes her doctor prescribed osteoporosis drug (bisphosphonate) on a regular basis. Conflict history The patient had been unhappy teaching over the last two years. Things were not going well in school - it wasn't just the school director that was getting on her nerves. However, this was only the “background music.“ The main conflict is her daughter - her pride and joy. She has become independent and has moved out. Yes, it gets even worse. She is going to go to Australia, where she has received an in interesting job offer. In the fall of 2002, the patient is sitting at home alone, with an autumn mist hanging in the air and she doesn't know what she's going to do with her life anymore. Suddenly, she has an idea: “I will go and visit my daughter in Australia. The school will be begging for me to come back after this!“ Note: in Austria, teachers can take a year sabbatical without fear of losing their teaching position. After tying up loose ends at school, the patient took the trip to Australia in January 2003. Since the osteoporosis drug did not help anyway, she leaves it at home. From January 2003 up to June 2004, she spent a fabulous year with her daughter under the Australian sun, “the best time of their lives:“ swimming, the beach, tennis, trips and so much more. She recalls that she did not have any back pain at all in Australia, but before that, it was troubling her continuously. (Constant back pain is an indication of a chronic, persistent self-esteem conflict). After her return in June 2004, she arranged to have her bone density checked again. And lo and behold, with 0.590 (p. 39, color graphic, no. 3 on the x-axis) she was once again above the osteoporosis threshold, which means she was healthy again. The cure “happened“ in Australia without any medication. When measured in August 2000, the bone density on the right femoral neck had 0.599 g/cm3 , and the left had 0.554 g/cm3 . Here, the right-left correlation shows clearly that the self-esteem conflict is mainly concerned with her daughter, because the patient is right-handed, i.e., the left half of the body is her mother-child side. In September 2004, the teacher started getting back into her daily life. After the glorious year in Australia, she swings into the “worst school year.“ Since leaving her daughter, she misses her worse than ever and the foggy autumn weather is depressing = conflict recurrence. The results of the density measurement in 2005 at the left femoral neck has a value of 0.522. Again, the osteoporosis is back with a vengeance! The values are reflecting the swings in her psychological condition.In the winter of 2005, the tide turns. Her daughter returns from Australia and the patient also feels better at school. Basically, she now sees everything in a much more positive light. It was during this time that she encountered the New Medicine. With her new lease on life, she endured even the dark winters over the subsequent years too (p. 39, Nr. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Her bone density improved steadily. This is no medical miracle; this is because her daughter moved back to their hometown again and bones can regenerate (heal themselves - like we're all sure they will after a break). Hip and femoral neck self-worth conflict, something can't be overcome. “I cannot do that.“ Bone in general self-worth conflicts Lumbar spine central self-worth conflict. “I am totally worthless.“ 39 Case study 0 - 1 Bad time: "The daughter is gone" 8 - 11 Good Time: "The daughter is back home" 5 - 7 "The daughter comes back" 3 - 4 "Worst School year" 2 - 3 Beautiful Australia-year Oteoporosis is no longer detectable 40 Case study Another case example/true story An 84 year-old female retiree with chronic diarrhea was admitted for a colonoscopy at a hospital in Upper Austria. After the procedure, the patient was administered an infusion. Still hanging on the drip, she asked what the drip was for. The answer: “It‘s against osteoporosis, which everyone has at your age.“ The patient is surprised, because three months before she had her bone density measured in another hospital and the result was: “Everything is OK.“ The current visit was entirely about to her intestines. Nobody even examined her bone density. Shortly after the first osteoporosis infusion, she was administered two further infusions. She asked, “What‘s happening now?“ Answer: “These are painkillers that we administer to control the pain caused by osteoporosis.“ In the patient, discontent was spreading and indeed, she felt a lot of pain - pain that she didn't have prior to getting the infusions. Now to the point: That evening in her hospital room, she was watching TV. Coincidentally, the program included a report on the clinic where she was staying: “…the largest osteoporosis center in Austria and the one with the most patients…“ It took a few weeks before the woman was able to recover from this hospitalization. Case Example “22 Brain Metastases” A mother of three children, now 39-years-old and living in southern Germany, survives “22 brain metastases” (picture series p. 44). Because of the catastrophic diagnosis, she was sent into early retirement – she is considered unique because she should have died long ago. Conflict history: On her parent’s farm, she never felt comfortable and experienced innumerable biological conflicts. Extremely difficult was the time between the ages of 12 and 22 when she had to sleep in her grandmother’s room as a “nurse/caretaker.” Her grandmother’s lungs rattled at night and when it got bad, she had to wake her parents. = multiple-conflicts, especially territorial-fear and territorialloss conflicts (larynx, bronchi and coronary arteries). When she was 22, she married the love of her life and the couple moved into their own home. After they moved in, she suffered from panic attacks for years and extreme fluctuations in her pulse (= slow repair of the territorial-loss conflict). Five years previously, after the birth of her second child, she was diagnosed with lung cancer after experiencing a persistent cough. In the course of her examinations, they then discovered the “22 brain metastases.” Initially, she allowed herself to be “persuaded” into getting radiation therapy, but then she stopped it after one treatment. In the meantime, she learned about the New Medicine. She only barely survived the medically critical phase: A pleural effusion with total atelectasis had to be punctured = repair of the diagnosis-shock-attack conflict. The doctors punctured the effusion once and were astounded that nothing leaked out. They then gave her chemo, but the patient soon stopped the treatment after experiencing strong side effects, and due to the doctor’s own contradictory statements. They couldn’t believe that she then survived. For many months, the woman was plagued by headaches that she was only able to manage with cortisone (= repair of the “brain metastases”). Presently there are only four small foci left. The patient is doing very well. What she still can’t handle is the summer heat – a sign that there is some remaining intracranial pressure. (Archive B. Eybl) Cerebral White Matter Self-Esteem Conflict (explanations p. 338) Cerebellum Conflicts Related to: Integrity Injuries, Attitudes, Attacks and Worry - among others Cerebral Cortex Social Conflicts Midbrain Chunk Conflict, Motor/ Peristaltic (explanations Brainstem p. 15, 16) Chunk Conflict (explanations p. 15, 16) 41 Case study The images on the left side were are from 8/2016 (for reasons of space, only the relevant sections are pictured). The light spots are the so-called “metastases” – in our view: brain relays in healing. Clearly visible are the dark areas around it – so-called perifocal edema (accumulation of brain fluid). The lower sections show a shift of the central axis to the left – due to the healing relay, it shows a massive need for space near the coronary arteries (red arrow). The multiple edemas are responsible for the strong headaches. Right side: Three years later (10/2019) most of the “brain metastases” and all perifocal edemas have all regressed. As residuals, we still see the clearly smaller foci in the frontal lobe (yellow arrows), the foci on the right lateral ventricle (green arrow) and a minimal scarring in the occipital lobe (blue arrows). The patient is doing well and doesn’t have any headaches anymore. 42 Diagnosis Making a Diagnosis When we make a diagnosis, we are not only dependent on physical aspects like in CM, but we have three levels available: psyche - brain - organ. Example: An ovarian cyst always means there is simultaneously a Hamer Focus in the repair phase (soft-contoured) in the corresponding brain location (in this example, the ovarian relay in the cerebral white matter) and a psychic cause, a resolved loss-conflict. Each finding on one level must agree with the other levels. As a result, errors in diagnosis can largely be avoided. The old saying, “As many diagnoses as there are doctors,“ should now be a thing of the past. The Diagnosis of the Brain The brain level of the diagnosis has enormous scientific value, because it proves the interrelationship between the psyche and the physical body. In practice though, reading the CT scan has little actual meaning. A CT scan of the head can possibly help when the disease patterns are unclear, but as a rule, we do NOT need it. Why? 1. Because it has a high potential for causing diagnosis shocks. 2. Because a cranial CT scan can't usually be interpreted with 100% accuracy (it isn't easy to find Foci and to match them properly). 3. Learning to read CT scans takes a long time. It takes experience with hundreds of scans before someone can make even partially reliable claims. There are hardly any therapists that can do this. Fortunately, you can work with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature without a CT reading, because we still have two levels (psyche and body) to cross-check. If you still decide on a CT, it must meet the following criteria: • CT (brain area), note: MRIs are unusable. • Parallel to the base of the skull. • Without contrast material (“native“). • Digital images (CD-ROM), (paper printouts are useless). The evaluation of CTs is not the subject of this book. CT reading is difficult and requires profound study. For those interested, the corresponding relays are shown in mini-brain images in the lexicon. Note: CM now calls Hamer Foci "ring artefacts," which also happen and are an effect of CT's radial motion. Obviously, when there are multiple, non-concentric Foci or the Focus does not correspond with the radial axis of the CT scan, it cannot be a ring artefact. New generations of CT machines are being designed to eliminate ring artefacts. Diagnoses on the Psychological and Physical Levels CM diagnoses: It is good when we have all CM diagnoses on hand. However, note this: only about 60% of all CM diagnoses are correct, i.e., 40% are incorrect. Also, X-ray images are often misinterpreted. Even large cysts are often assigned to the wrong organ. These errors can happen because CM works without cross-checking the psyche and brain. Laboratory Values are an important pillar of diagnostic assessment for monitoring progress. With the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, some values will take on a new and different meaning, while others will remain consistent with CM. Some values, such as the pancreatic enzymes lipase and amylase, are highly variable and are only meaningful when they are compared with previous values in the same patient. Laboratory testing comes with the great danger that the results themselves are deemed to be so important, the data itself creates a conflict for some patients. People prone to hypochondria often run from one examination to the next until the trap they have built for themselves ("abnormal results") eventually snaps shut. Thyroid laboratory values Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) The majority of these two types of thyroid hormones are bound to proteins in the blood. Only a small portion is provided in the form of free thyroxine (FT4) or free triiodothyronine (FT3). CM-normal values (serum):14 T3 67–163 ng/dl, free T3 2.6–5.1 qg/ml, T4 5.1–12-6 µg/dl, FT4 1.0–1.8 ng/dl. Elevated • Conflict-active phase of a thyroid gland chunk conflict. • Slightly increased in conflict-active phase of a powerless conflict (thyroid excretory ducts). Reduced • Persistent-repair or the condition after a thyroid gland chunk conflict. Increased or decreased TSH levels are an indication of an SBS of the thyroid excretory ducts (p. 121). 14 see http://www.netdoktor.at/laborwerte/fakten/schilddrüse/t3_t4/htm 15 see Böcker/Denk/Heitz, Pathologie, Urban & Fischer, 3rd ed. 2004, Spickzettel Pathologe, hereinafter cited as B/D/H - Pathology 43 Laboratory values Blood laboratory values (See also p. 133ff.) Erythrocytes (red-blood cells) CM normal value:15 women 4.0–5.2 million/ml, men 4.2–5.9 million/ml Reduced (anemia) • Active-phase of a self-esteem conflict: bone SBS. Whether the bone SBS is noticeable in the blood count depends on how many and which bones are involved, because blood formation (hematopoiesis) takes place mainly in the flat bones (e.g., sternum, vertebrae). SBSs in the tubular bones are hardly reflected in the blood count. Elevated (high red blood cell count) • Repair-phase of a bone SBS. At the beginning of the repair-phase, the erythrocyte count falls even further, but only in appearance, because the blood is thinned by vagotonic blood vessel dilation with additional serum (lower hematocrit value). The erythrocyte production is running at fully capacity at this time, so the actual amount is already increasing. • In endurance athletes or with very good physical fitness. Leukocytes (white-blood cells) CM normal Value:16 leukocytes (Adults) 4–10t /mcL (4–10 G/l) Reduced (leukopenia) • Conflict-active phase - self-worth conflict (bone). • Spleen SBS (rare). Elevated (leukemia) • Inflammation (repair-phase) somewhere in the body (the leukocytes have the function of “garbage collection“ in the body). • Self-esteem conflict in repair-phase. Hemoglobin (red blood cell pigment) along with the red blood cell count (RBC) is an important parameter for anemia. CM normal values:16 women 12–16 g/dl, men 14–18 g/dl Reduced • In the active-phase of a self-esteem conflict - anemia. • In the repair-phase (vagotonia) of other conflicts due to dilated blood vessels. • In the second (vagotonic) part of pregnancy due to dilated blood vessels. • If bleeding (injuries, internal bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding). Elevated • In the repair-phase of a self-esteem conflict (bone). At the beginning of the repair-phase, the hemoglobin and the RBC fall further, but only because the blood is “thinned“ by the vagotonic blood vessel dilation with additional serum. • In the conflict-active phase of other conflicts. Blood vessel constriction increases the vascular blood cell concentration. • In endurance athletes or with very good physical fitness. Hematocrit (proportion of the cellular portion of the blood's volume). This value indicates how thin or thick the blood is, i.e., the concentration in which blood cells occur (viscosity). CM normal values:16 Women 37–46%, Men 41–50%. Reduced 16 see B/D/H–Pathology • Conflict-active phase of a self-esteem conflict (bone) by reduced production of blood cells. Even lower values at the beginning of the repair phase. • Conflict-active phase of a refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules SBS). Fluid retention in the blood also. The blood is thinner, even though the blood cell count hasn't changed. • In the repair-phase of other conflicts (vagotonia - blood vessel dilation). • In the second (vagotonic) part of pregnancy, hematocrit is lowered due to dilated blood vessels. (Absorption of fluid into the vascular system) infusions briefly reduce hematocrit due to dilution. Elevated • In conflict-active phase other than the conflicts described above. With constriction of the blood vessels, the blood cell concentration increases. • In athletes, especially after altitude training through increased production of red blood cells. The blood thickens, the ability of the blood to transport oxygen increases. • By loss of fluids or dehydration (sweating, thirst). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) One of the oldest and simplest blood test methods: In a glass tube, the amount of blood cells that have settled to the bottom is measured after one or two hours. According to CM, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation is an indication that inflammations are underway in the body. Normal values:16 1h : women 6–11 mm, men 3–8 mm. 2hr: women 6–20 mm, men 5–18 mm. Elevated • Repair-phase (inflammation), somewhere in the body. C-reactive protein (CRP) This is one of the so-called "acute-phase proteins." When an inflammation is taking place anywhere in the body, CRP rises the fastest of all values. Normal Value:16 10 mg/l Elevated • Acute repair-phase of any organ. • After surgery, injury, accidents, after a heart attack (also repair phases). Cholesterol In CM, cholesterol is not determined in order to detect certain disorders, but rather to estimate the risk for vascular disease. It is considered a “risk factor“ for heart attack, stroke and other diseases. LDL (low density lipoprotein) is believed to be responsible for vascular damage and is considered “bad,“ while the “good“ HDL (high density lipoprotein) is attributed a vascular protective effect, as far as the CM opinion goes. In fact, cholesterol - HDL and LDL - is absolutely vital and is produced for the most part by the body itself. We can assume that Mother Nature produces nothing that is nonsensical or bad. Cholesterol cannot be transported in the blood because it‘s not - as fat compounds (lipids) - soluble in water. It is transported by binding to HDL and LDL. We therefore speak of a HDL and LDL 44 Laboratory values lipoprotein-cholesterol complex. HDL lipoprotein receives the cholesterol absorbed by food and transports it to the liver for processing into bile acids and free cholesterol. LDL lipoprotein receives the cholesterol made by the liver and leads it to the body‘s cells. The cholesterol transported through LDL is the basic substance of steroid hormones (sex hormones, cortisol, etc.), vitamin D3, bile acids, etc. It also takes care of the sealing of arteries and membranes. To depict LDL as harmful is absurd. Since 80% of the cholesterol is formed by the liver itself, diet can have little influence on cholesterol levels. Thus, the value can be reduced at most by 5%, and only for a period of 24-48 hours, as the liver otherwise engages to increase its own production. To win about half the population as “patients,“ the cholesterol "limit" was arbitrarily set to 200 by the pharmaceutical industry. Since then, patients have been “treated,“ at the cost of the severe side effects associated with lipid-lowering medications. “Cholesterol appears to be involved as a repair or putty substance in the restoration of vascular damage.“17 The fact is, the so-called plaques consist mainly of connective tissue, in which cholesterol can only be found only in minimal amounts (about 1%). Cholesterol is an important part of the body's outer sheath of cells. It increases the stability of the membranes. Total cholesterol CM normal value:16 120–200 mg / dL (3.1 - 5.2 mmol / l). LDL-cholesterol CM normal value:16 <150 mg / dl (<3.87 mmol / l) HDL cholesterol CM normal value: > 50 mg / dL (> 1.3 mmol / l) We can probably derive only little from high or low cholesterol values (whether LDL or HDL) (it often runs in families). If the value changes suddenly (it rarely does), you can possibly give it some thought: Elevated • Lack of exercise, obesity (overweight), alcohol. • Medication side effects (cortisone, beta blockers, etc.) • In general, a sign of increased stress. • Especially to be considered: thyroid, kidney collecting tubules, adrenal, liver and pancreas SBSs. Liver laboratory values Gamma-GT The liver enzyme gamma-GT is the most important parameter with respect to an SBS of the gallbladder ducts. CM normal values for the new unit: women up to 36 U/l, men to 64 U/l. Elevated • Repair-phase of a territory-anger or identity conflict (gallbladder ducts). The critical phase (repair-crisis) begins when the gam17 http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny_de.html 16 see B/D/H–Pathology ma-GT value starts to drop. For values up to 400, the repair-crisis usually proceeds without complications. At values of 400–800 it is critical, at values above 800 it is very critical (new unit). GOT (glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase) According to CM, GOT is elevated in cases of liver, heart and muscular diseases. CM normal value (new unit):18 adults 34 U/l Elevated • Probably like gamma-GT: Territory-anger or identity conflict (gallbladder ducts) - repair phase GPT (glutamate pyruvate transaminase) An enzyme whose highest concentration occurs in the liver, and at lower levels in skeletal and cardiac muscles. CM normal value for new unit:18 Adults 55 U/l. Elevated • Territory-anger conflict (gallbladder ducts) - repair-phase. AP (alkaline phosphatase) will indicate if a bile duct or bone SBS is in progress. Normal Value:18 40 - 150 U/l (age 60–170 U/l) Elevated • Territory-anger conflict (gallbladder ducts) - repair-phase. • Self-worth conflict (bone) - repair-phase. • Following bone fractures. Bilirubin Bilirubin is a liver value. The amount of bilirubin is determined in order to detect and control the course of jaundice. Bilirubin is a waste product of hemoglobin and is normally excreted via the bile ducts. If it is backing up, bilirubin increases in the bloodstream. CM normal value:16 Bilirubin, saturation — adults 0.2–1.1 mg/ dL (3.4–18.8 micro-mol). Elevated • Territory-anger or identity conflict (gallbladder ducts) - repair-phase. Repair swelling of the bile ducts with temporary closure of the outflow. • Accelerated breakdown of red-blood cells (hemolysis) by blood, 18 see http://www.netdoktor.at/laborwerte/fakten/leber/ap.htm 16 see B/D/H–Pathology 45 Laboratory values poisons or medicines, large bruises (blunt injuries), malaria. • Even though rare, bilirubin levels can increase because of a liver parenchyma SBS (starvation or existence conflict), if a major bile duct within the liver (intrahepatic) is closed off due to lack of space. Cholinesterase In CM, the cholinesterase value is assessed for the detection of liver damage and poisoning. Because of its strong individual variations, it is better suited to monitor progress than to diagnose. CM normal value:16 adults from 3000–8000 U/l. Elevated • Starvation-existence conflict - active-phase (liver parenchyma). Increase due to increased metabolic function of the liver. Pancreas laboratory values Blood sugar The blood sugar value indicates the concentration of dextrose (glucose) in the blood. It is controlled by the pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon. CM normal value:16 adults 70 - 100 mg/dl (3.89 - 5.55 m-mol/l). Reduced (hypoglycemia) • Fear-disgust or resistance conflict SBS of the alpha-islet or beta-islet cells of the pancreas (see p. 261ff). Elevated (hyperglycemia) • Resistance, or fear-disgust conflict SBS of the beta-islet or alpha-islet cells of the pancreas (see p. 259ff). Amylase (Alpha-amylase) The enzyme alpha-amylase is produced by the pancreas and is used for carbohydrate digestion. In CM, it is determined in cases of suspected pancreatitis. Amylase may be measured in the blood (serum) or urine. CM normal value (serum):16 adults 70–300mm U/l. Elevated • Territory-anger or identity conflict - repair-phase. Pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis). Repair swelling of the bile ducts with temporary closure of the outflow. Increase of pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipase. Lipase (phospholipase) Lipase is the generic term for a group of digestive enzymes (esterases). Their task is to break down fats. Lipase is the most sensitive parameter with respect to the pancreas. CM normal value:16 adults 30–180 U/L. Elevated • Territory-anger or identity conflict - repair-phase (pancreatic ducts). Repair phase swelling of the bile ducts with temporary closure of the outflow. Pancreatitis, increased pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipase. Kidney laboratory values Creatinine In the view of CM and also in NM, creatinine is the most important kidney value, but it is interpreted quite differently. Creatinine is a metabolic end product of the muscles, so the value is “muscle-dependent.“ We are mainly interested in the serum (blood) value and not the amount of urinary excretion of creatinine, the so-called creatinine clearance. CM normal value (serum):16 0.5–1.2 mg/dl (44–106 micro-mol) Elevated • In the conflict-active phase of a refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules SBS). This “energy saving program“ stores liquid and recycles nutrients. Creatinine, urea and uric acid are kept in the blood system in order to store more energy for use in times of need (CM: “uremia“). This recycling process is called the nitrogen cycle. In CM, dialysis is performed from about 4 mg/dl. With the understanding of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, dialysis only comes into consideration from 12 — 14 mg/dl. See also p. 266ff. • In very muscular people, after muscle strain and meat consumption. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) Even at normal creatinine values, the kidney collection tubules can also be slightly to moderately active (the “blind spot” of creatinine measuring). To be sure of this, the determination of the creatinine clearance value can be useful. Reduced • In the conflict active phase of a refugee conflict (kidney collection tubules) See also p. 266ff. Urea CM-normal value (serum):16 10–50 mg /dL (1.64–8.18 mmol). Elevated • Refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules SBS) - activephase. In the so-called nitrogen cycle, protein is “recycled“ from urea. • After diarrhea, vomiting, fasting, excessive sweating, burns, dehydration. • After injury, accidents, transfusions (protein breakdown). Uric acid In CM, this is the parameter for diagnosing “gout.“ For us, the diagnosis of “gout“ means that an active refugee conflict combined with any self-worth conflict is present in its repair-phase. (= “Syndrome,“ see p. 266ff) Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. It is produced during the digestion of meat. So the value is also dependant on nutrition or toxins. In an active refugee conflict, the body tries to obtain excess energy from the uric acid by leaving it in the blood, rather than excreting it. CM-normal value (Serum):16 women <5.7 mg/dl, men <7 mg / dl. Elevated • Refugee conflict active-phase (kidney collecting tubules), - analogous to creatinine and urea. • Due to increased purine intake through food (meat, offal, etc.). • Due to increased purine formation: cell death by drugs - e.g., chemo, blood thinners, blood pressure medication and many more. 16 see B/D/H–Pathology 46 Laboratory values Protein (albumin, microglobulin) in urine (= proteinuria) Alarming sign for CM: Indication of poor renal filtration performance (“nephrotic syndrome“). However, the protein does not pass, as CM believes, from the blood into the urine, but comes from the kidney collecting tubules during repair, thus, from the kidneys themselves (kidney tuberculosis) = breakdown of tumor tissue (see p. 266ff) Positive test (detection of protein) • Repair-phase of a refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules SBS). Breakdown of the tumor > the broken-down tissue is excreted in the urine > protein in the urine. • Repair phase of a sexual conflict (prostate), or the repair phase of a barely-digestible, unpleasant-situation conflict (bladder submucosa) - bladder tuberculosis. In both cases of tubercular breakdown of tumor tissue > washing out through the urine. > Protein in the urine, accompanied by night sweats. Blood in urine (hematuria and hemoglobinuria) If, with the naked eye, red coloration of the urine is visible, it is called “hematuria,“ as opposed to “microscopic hematuria,“ which is detecting traces of blood only in the laboratory. Test positive (detection of blood) • Territory-marking conflict - repair phase (renal pelvis, ureter, bladder or urethral mucosa). Reconstruction of the transitional epithelium (urothelium). Blood in the urine indicates an inflammation of any of these structures. • Refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules) - repair phase. Breakdown of a kidney collecting tubules tumor with the washing out of protein and blood. (Here additional night sweats). • Barely digestible, unpleasant situation conflict - repair phase (bladder submucosa). Prostate laboratory values Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) The enzyme PSA is produced in the prostate gland and is, according to CM, a parameter for the size of the prostate gland or tumor. That this relation is uncertain is also widely known by conventional medicine, because PSA is also produced in the liver and in part in the pancreas. CM-normal value:16 0–4.5 ng/ml Elevated • Sexual conflict, conflict-active or repair-phase (prostate). • In cyclists and horseback riders. • After sexual intercourse, after prostate sampling and analysis, among others. • In women after menopause. • During a liver SBS. The fact is, the more often the PSA level is tested, the more often (practically healthy) people die from prostate cancer. From the perspective of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, even values far above the norm are no cause for excitement. Due to the risk that learning of a raised value can trigger a conflict (with the danger of a vicious circle), it is recommended that the PSA value shouldn't be tested. 16 see B/D/H–Pathology Intestinal laboratory values Blood in the stool This can be seen with the naked eye. With a stool sample, however, we can look for “hidden“ (occult) stool blood in the laboratory. Positive findings (blood in the stool) • Repair-phase in a section of the digestive tube (esophagus to rectum). The darker (older) the blood, the farther “upstream“ the source of bleeding is to be found. Rheumatism laboratory values Rheumatoid factors, antinuclear antibodies (ANA) Among rheumatoid factors, CM understands “antibodies“ that are directed against endogenous structures or proteins that fight against their own body. To determine the “rheumatoid factor,“ the reaction of the blood serum is observed with other proteins in the test tube or on a testing surface. For this, CM has various tests such as the so-called Waaler-Rose test or the ELISA assay. From the perspective of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, the rheumatic hypothesis is false and determining the “rheumatoid factor“ is meaningless. Allergy Histamine intolerance (histaminosis) Histamine (a hormone and neurotransmitter) occurs in food in varying concentrations, but is also produced by the body itself (connective tissue, mast cells). The self-test, whether a change in diet improves the symptoms, can be cross-checked and is reliable. Less reliable is a diagnosis based on skin, blood and stool samples. Positive test • SBS of the mast cells. Active being-on-alert conflict (see p. 161). Histamin (HISTA) Histamin (ein Hormon und Neurotransmitter) kommt in der Nahrung in unterschiedlicher Konzentration vor, wird aber auch vom Körper selbst gebildet (Bindegewebe, Mastzellen). Der Selbsttest, ob eine Ernährungsumstellung die Beschwerden bessert und die Gegenprobe ist zuverlässig. Weniger sicher ist die Diagnose über Haut, Blut, Stuhl. Test positiv • SBS der Mastzellen. Aktiver Alarmbereitschafts-Konflikt (siehe S. 168) Diamine oxidase (DAO) An enzyme containing copper that breaks down histamine in the body. Elaborate, moderately reliable test. Indicates whether histamine plays the main role in the allergy or not. Conspicuous test results • SBS of the mast cells. Active being-on-alert conflict (see p. 161). Immunoglobulins (Ig) M, G, A, E, D, among others. The terms “immunoglobulin,“ “antibodies“ and “antigens“ can be disregarded. It would be correct to just speak of globulins. Globulins are the smallest of the body‘s own protein compounds, which play an important role in the growth of tissues 47 Laboratory values and for sealing off injured cells. Globulins are found in the blood in higher quantities after poisoning (vaccinations, drugs, alcohol, etc.), injuries (bruising, sprains, etc.) or during repair-phases. Using electrochemical procedures (electrophoresis), globulins can be classified according to size. The determination of “immunoglobulins“ has no meaning for us. “Infection“ laboratory values AIDS-Tests AIDS tests such as the ELISA assay and the Western Blot test are not able to identify the HI-Virus. Scientific evidence for the virus has still not been produced to this day. These tests are indirect, non-calibrated detection methods, which do not work. "For today‘s so-called anti-HIV antibody tests, there is no international standard. The test result “HIV positive“ or “HIV negative,“ i.e., test scores above or below the specified measurement thresholds in the same person, vary from continent to continent, from country to country, from city to city and even from laboratory to laboratory. In the African test sets, for cost reasons, often only 2 different test proteins are included. When “HIV-positive“ people from Africa are retested in Europe, they are often called “HIV-negative,“ in other words they are no longer “HIV-infected.“19 The HIV test is not standardized. The test result must be interpreted; the criteria for this interpretation does not only vary from lab to lab, but from month to month.20 On the package of the AIDS testing kit (Roche Manufacturing), you can find the following admission: “A negative test result does not exclude the possibility of HIV infection.“ Factors that are known to cause false-positive test results are:21 • Flu • Infections of the upper respiratory tract • Hemophilia • Herpes simplex • Cancers • Swollen lymph nodes • Renal insufficiency, “blood cleansing“ in renal failure • Currently existing “viral infections“ such as hepatitis • Naturally occurring antibodies • Antibodies in forms of rheumatoid arthritis • Blood transfusions • Tetanus, influenza, hepatitis B vaccinations • Organ transplants • Administration of immune globulins • Receiving anal intercourse Borrelia Antibodies Lyme disease is, according to CM, an “infectious disease“ caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by insect bites. (See also p. 84.) 19 see. Dr. med. Krämer, Die stille Revolution der Krebs- und AIDS-Medizin 20 New England Journal of Medicine, Ausg. 317 21 Cf. Michael Leitner “Mythos HIV“, Videel publishings From the perspective of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, Lyme disease is a separation conflict in the repair phase - with or without insect bite or tick. The Borrelia laboratory test (IgM and IgG “antibody“ test) is certainly useless. Even in CM, it is not considered to be very meaningful.The result is not yes or no, but it is either lower or higher than a certain threshold. If the so-called "tilter" is located above this arbitrarily fixed threshold, Borrelia is regarded as proven (= indirect test). Chlamydia, campylobacter, streptococcal antibodies These tests are analogous to the AIDS and Lyme antibody tests. > Indirect limit value tests without a biological basis. Tumor markers Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) In CM, this is the most important tumor marker, especially in relation to colon, lung, and breast cancer. The name alone is an indication of CM's tumor medicine dilemma: This protein appears to be an indicator of cell division, but cell division is high in both embryonic as well as in tumor growth. Normal Value:16 2.5–10 µg/l Elevated • Conflict-active or repair-phase of an SBS. Probably old-brain organs in the active-phase or cerebral organs in the repair-phase. • In smokers (poisoning-repair-metabolism). Carbohydrate antigen 19/9 (19/9 CA) is a part of the human blood groups' characteristics. Used in CM as a marker for pancreatic, liver and gastrointestinal tumors. Normal Value:22 <37.5 U/ml Elevated • Conflict-active phase or repair phase of the related SBS. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Much like CEA, AFP is produced in embryonic tissues and in various tumors. In pregnant women and in infants, the value is also increased. In both cases, high mitotic rate like in tumors. CM marker for liver, germ cell, bronchial and gastric tumors. Normal Value:23 <20 ng/ml Elevated • Conflict-active or repair-phase of the related SBS. Tumor marker pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein (SP-1), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) Again, you can see how tumor growth is related to pregnancy from a biological perspective. Both SP1 and HCG levels are elevated during pregnancy. For non-pregnant women, they serve as tumor indicators. According to CM, cell division in pregnancy is normal and “benign;“ later in life, cell division is considered as abnormal and “malignant.“ 16 see B/D/H–Pathology 22 see http://www.laborlexikon.de/Lexikon/Infoframe/a/Alpha-1-Fetoprotein_als_ Tumormarker.htm 23 New Eng land Journal of Medicine, # 317 48 Initial consultation INITIAL CONSULTATION - DETERMINING THE CONFLICT As therapists, we try to understand a person as a whole in order to determine their conflict and the previous conditioning associated with it. First, it makes sense to concentrate on the patient‘s most important symptoms or main manifestations of distress. I proceed as follows: 1. I try to correlate the symptom with the right special program (SBS). (See lexicon). 2. I determine the phase (conflict-active, repair phase or recurring) that the patient is experiencing. 3. I/we look for the cause of the conflict. 4. I/we look for the underlying conditioning. 5. We plan the path to recovery: through changes in their emotional life/their attitude and through changes in the external situation if this is possible. If the patient is not yet familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, the basics should be explained first. Just getting to know the biological connections can have a healing effect because the patient is relieved and fear loosens its grip. The amount of time required for the initial consultation depends on various factors: the patient's familiarity with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, their cooperation and the complexity of their medical history. Many therapists schedule three hours for the first session. The therapist - patient relationship For reasons of simplicity, I speak of the "therapist" and the "patient," but this traditional relationship - on this side, the knowing therapist and on the other side, the needy patient - isn't a good basis for a relationship. The reason is that this type of relationship is based on a disparity and creates a dependence (like a child to its parent). A good therapist knows that whether the patient will recover or not does not lie within their power. They hand over all therapeutic decisions to the patient. They help humbly, because they know that there are greater forces are in play. They see the family in the background and the divine core within the person seeking assistance. When a patient complains about their parents or others, they are giving these people a place next to themselves in their soul and not condemning them. Now it comes down to asking the right questions, being a good listener and being able to sense what is resonating behind the words of the patient. Questions about the conflict Cold or warm hands? The first handshake when we meet the patient tells us whether they have warm or cold hands. Cold hands indicate conflict activity. It could be that the patient is conflict-active because they are nervous at the beginning of the session, because of their "disease" or simply because the weather is cold. Be careful not to judge too quickly! Biologically right-handed or left-handed? Carry out the clap test and determine which hand leads (see p. 12). Familial status, occupation, age? We are interested in their age so we can estimate their possibility for regeneration, but also with regard to the state of their hormones (first menstrual cycle, menopause, etc.). Caused by a conflict - yes or no? Some disorders - usually smaller ones - are not caused by conflicts: a Example: An athletic young man has been suffering for a week from mild pain in both Achilles tendons. The tendons and both ankle joints are reddened and lightly swollen. He especially feels pain with the first couple of steps when he gets up in the morning. - It turns out that, following a half a year of not working out, he has started again with strength training in his legs = strengthening of the Achilles tendons, and the symptoms are the same as sore muscles after unusual muscle use - adaptive reaction, training effect, probably not caused by a conflict (= "organ conflict"). • E.g.: Reddening of the skin due to sunburn. Increase in the pigment cell layer - adaptive reaction to UV radiation. • E.g.: Digestive problems after gluttonous behavior - poisoning by "overdoing it" or an unwise combination of foods. • E.g.: Corns caused by ill-fitting shoes. Deciding whether a conflict is the cause or not isn't always selfevident. Purely adaptive reactions usually pass quickly. During the training pause, for example, our young man could have suffered a local self-esteem conflict with regard to his physical fitness. (“I probably can't run as fast as I used to.“) > Through a good period of training, he could come into a repair phase and experience > pain. Repair-phase, conflict-active phase or recurring conflict? When the patient explains their woes, they either describe symptoms of repair or conflict-activity or both of them alternately. For example, constrictive chest pains (angina pectoris), 49 Initial consultation a painful stomach ulcer (gastritis) or diabetes are signs of an active conflict, whereas a slipped disc or pneumonia are signs of a resolved conflict. Our task is to classify the symptoms correctly. To do this, we need to know the individual SBS. If the patient describes conflict-active symptoms, we know that the patient carries around a conflict within themselves that they (we) need to identify and resolve as necessary. If the symptoms are repair phase symptoms, we know that the patient has resolved the corresponding conflict or conflict trigger already, namely just before the complaints started. General conflict-active symptoms: thoughts revolve around the conflict (compulsive thinking), stress, insomnia, poor appetite (possible weight loss), cold hands and feet or sensitivity to cold. General repair phase symptoms: psychologically relieved and more easy-going, but physically “sick and tired," fever, sweating, fatigue - especially during daytime hours, healthy appetite (possible weight gain), warm hands and feet. Symptoms - since when? The most important question - the clue to the conflict. Most complaints are repair-phase symptoms. The conflict must have been resolved just before the symptoms appeared for the first time (i.e., something good must have happened). After identifying the event that brought the conflict to an end (e.g., “mom is back,“ the beginning of the holidays, starting retirement, new love, passed the exam, a clarifying or conciliatory conversation or recognition from their partner or boss) - it is usually easy to get to the conflict. Sudden conflict resolution > sudden onset of symptoms (usually in the evening or at night). Symptoms that we can attribute to conflict activity or the conflict-active phase must have started with a negative event (conflict) (e.g., dispute, loss, anger, separation). Please remember: Most important is not the external event itself (this could even appear trivial), but rather the internal perception of the event. New conflict or recurrence? Most complaints are not based on new conflicts, but on recurrent conflicts or triggers. In order to clarify this, you should ask the following question: Are you experiencing these complaints for the first time in your life or have they happened before? If yes: > new conflict. If no: > conflict recurrence or trigger. > Next question: When did that happen? What happened at that time? After or during which events did your symptoms appear? > Find the original conflict. Assuming you can find it, you will usually find the cause of the present recurrence. Recurrent dreams? Does the patient describe dream imagery that appears regularly? Have their dreams changed since experiencing one particular event or another? During the night, the subconscious mind processes what has happened during the day and in the past. Some dreams, but not all, are conflict related. Recurring dreams often give us a distinct indication of what the conflict is about. Dreams can also have the effect of keeping conflicts active. a A schoolboy‘s uncle dies. The two of them had a very close relationship. The boy suffers a loss conflict (testicles) and a general self-esteem conflict (anemia, leukemia). Regularly, he dreams of his uncle‘s death, in this case the conflict is protracted (persistent-active conflict). Once the conflict has been found, a decision is made to proceed as follows: The anniversary of the uncle‘s death is approaching. The boy is taken along to the requiem mass and people talk freely to him about his uncle. At last the boy gets warm hands again (repair phase). The boy needs blood transfusions for a period of time and then everything is fine. In CM, the repair phase is diagnosed as “aleukemic leukemia.“ (Cf. Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch (Golden Book), vol. 1, p. 573). a Muhammad Ali reported that he regularly dreamed of his match with Joe Frazier in March 1971. This fight resulted in his first and certainly the most painful defeat of his boxing career. As a result, he suffered from the following conflicts: not being able to cover oneself > trembling hands. Fear-fright conflict > speech impediments. Not being able to flee from the ring > walking difficulties. With every dream, he briefly enters into conflict-activity. The Parkinson‘s disease (trembling) represents the repair phase or more precisely, the repair phase crisis, which never ends (= persistent repair). Unsuccessful conflict searches Some people think that terms like “identity conflict“ or “chunk conflict“ (see explanations p. 15, 16) don't apply to them because they try to understand these expressions literally. In this case, it is often helpful to simplify the questions: What was the worst thing that happened to you at the time? What causes you the most stress when you think of the near future? What thoughts keep going around and around in your mind? What would you like to change in your life? What are you most afraid of? What is your happiness most dependent on? How were your school days? Also, try remember or get information about prenatal or early conflict: What was the pregnancy and birth like (complications, 50 Initial consultation Cesarian)? Were you breast-fed? How was your childhood? It's not uncommon for a conflict to lie so far back in the past that it can't be identified anymore. In cases like this, we can only find out what events reactivate/trigger the conflict (= recurrent). Fortunately there are methods like total forgiveness (p. 55), music therapy (p. 59) or ho'oponopono (p. 61) that enable us to move forward, even in situations like this. Questions about conditioning Family Is there a family history of similar illnesses - mother, father, ancestors? If yes: There must also be psychological parallels here or common patterns (often down the whole family line). For clarification: Did the mother, father or ancestors have similar difficulties, behavior patterns, familial situations? What secrets did/does the family have (skeletons in the closet)? What topics are/were taboo? Early or dramatic deaths of ancestors? Causes? Was there a tragedy in the family? Are there heroes or black sheep? Has anyone been rejected/excluded from the family? Why? Does the family have a typical feature or a creed? What were the worst experiences in the mother's life? What were the worst experiences in the father's life? What was the financial situation like? Was the mother's pregnancy planned? Was there anything out of the ordinary/problematic about the patient's conception? Were there miscarriages or abortions before/after the patient was conceived? Birth (mother questions) How was it? Was the patient allowed to be with their mother immediately after the birth? What was the mother's reaction after the birth? Was the patient breast-fed? How long? Did the mother fear giving birth? Premature birth, episiotomy, Cesarian, breech birth? How was the relationship to the midwife, obstetricians? Pregnancy (mother/parents questions) How was it? (Ask about the details: conditions, situations, accidents, deaths (of family/friends) etc.). Was the pregnancy criticized by anyone? What was the relationship like between the mother and the father during and after the pregnancy? Were there fears about the health of the child or the mother during the pregnancy? Was the weight gain okay for the mother? Did the sex of the child make a difference? Do any ancestors have the same name? Childhood Was there anything that characterized the first years of life? (mother questions) What problems did the parents have? Were there operations or stays in the hospital? Was one of the children the favorite/given preferential treatment? How was school life? What difficulties were there? What would the patient criticize about their parents? The first love? The first partner? What is the decisive conditioning with regard to my main problem? > Work it out and formulate it. Which religious beliefs/convictions were inherited/formed? Q & A examples for determining conflict Knee joint pain a A right-handed, 69 year-old woman has been complaining about intense pain in the left knee since the end of the previous week. Deduction: last week a non-athletic, self-esteem conflict with regard to mother or child must have been resolved (healing symptoms). Now we have to ask about the family situation. Q: “Do you have children? How old are the children? What do the children do? Do you have pets (“pet-child“ or “pet-partner“)? Is your mother still alive? How old is she? Does your mother live with you?“ A: “Two grown daughters, the mother died many years ago.“ Deduction: Mother - conflict is unlikely, it probably has to do with the daughters. Now, we need to clarify whether it is a recurrence or a trigger or if the complaints are the result of a new conflict. Q: “Have you had pain in your left knee before?“ A: “No.“ Deduction: Now I know the complaints are the result of a new conflict. At this point, I don't know when this happened. If the patient had said yes, she had previously suffered pain in the 51 Initial consultation left knee, the symptoms could be the result of a trigger. Next, I try to zero-in on the conflict from the direction of repair phase symptoms. Q: “When does your knee hurt the most?“ A: “At night, when I turn over.“ Deduction: Clearly the repair phase due to night-time vagotonia. Definite inflammation and energy abundance. Q: “Did the pain come suddenly from one day to the next or did it start gradually?“ A: “The pain started suddenly.“ Deduction: Sudden pain indicates sudden conflict resolution. Therefore, a clear, positive conflict-resolving incident must have occurred. (With gradual conflict resolution, e.g., pain that increases slowly over several weeks, they usually don't undergo a sudden healing experience, but rather a slow, often hardly noticeable improvement of the conflict situation). Q: “What kind of positive experience did you have at the end of last week? Did you have a nice experience with one of your daughters? Did you receive good news?“ A: “How did you know that? Yes, I spoke with my daughter on the phone. She told me that she received a job offer.“ Note: the daughter lives abroad and has just completed a time-consuming, rather doubtful (for the mother) job-training program with few job opportunities. (Her financial situation is rather precarious due to her three sons). Deduction: That's it! Non-athletic self-worth conflict due to unsatisfied ambitions regarding her daughter. The conflict had been active for years and thanks to the positive news, now (partly) resolved. If the daughter really gets the job we should anticipate that there will be no further aggravation of the knee symptoms. (Archive B. Eybl) Pain at the back of the head a A 48 year-old, right-handed, unmarried, slender patient works in an office and has no children. Exactly one year ago, on Good Friday, sudden pains began radiating from the back of her head to her jaw and face. In CM, nothing was found. Countless examinations were made and a tooth was needlessly pulled out. The skin was and is not sensitive or reddened or otherwise conspicuous. Deduction: not a skin SBS. The facial muscles (facial expression) are OK; there are no signs of paralysis or nervous twitches. Deduction: no facial motor impairment (being made a fool of conflict). At this point, I draw a false conclusion: bone SBS, intellectual self-worth conflict. Q: “What positive event happened on that Good Friday or in the days before?“ A: “Nothing - on the contrary, I can remember exactly how badly things were going for me on that day. I felt miserable, extremely cut off from everything, especially from my partner.“ Deduction: I was wrong. Not a self-worth conflict. The pains are occurring in an active phase. It could only be a periosteal ("bone skin") SBS. Q: “Do you suffer from cold feet?“ A: “Yes.“ Q: “Do painkillers help?“ A: “No, not at all.“ Deduction: Cold feet = sign that it's periosteal, painkiller ineffectiveness as well. Q: “Do you feel the pain more intensely during relaxation or in stress situations?“ A: “In stress situations and during the day I feel the pain. At night, it is gone. On the weekend it feels better too.“ Deduction: Clearly pain during sympathicotonia - bone SBS can be ruled out as a cause of the pain. In further consultation, it turns out that the patient had a very painful separation from her partner. On that evening two years later, she felt the pain of the separation intensely. Everything came back up, especially since she has still not found a new partner and things are not going very well at work either (intense separation conflict affecting the periosteum at the back of the skull). Has been active for exactly one year. (Archive B. Eybl) Atopic dermatitis/eczema a A 4 year-old girl has atopic dermatitis all over her body. The mother wants her to undergo rigorous treatment. I suggest looking for the cause first. Deduction: Atopic dermatitis indicates the repair phase of a separation conflict. Q (for the mother): “When was the first time you noticed the rash?“ A (mother): “A week after birth by Caesarean section we noticed red spots on her face.“ Deduction: Delivery by C-section or the circumstances thereafter was already the reason for the original conflict. One week after birth, the baby entered the repair phase for the first time. Q: “On which side of her body did the rash appear most?“ A: “On the whole body, everywhere.“ Deduction: A generalized separation conflict. The child suffers from the separation from father and mother. She is lacking skin contact in general. Q: “When did the rash appear the worst so far?“ A: “All over the body, everywhere.” Deduction: The first few days of vacation - strong repair phase, because the whole family was there. She could “cuddle“ whenever she wanted. Before the vacation was over, the healing was completed. After the vacation, the child was conflict-active again and remained in a conflict-active state until Christmas. During Christmas vacation, she went into healing. The mother says that after the first half year of her maternity leave she went back to work. The work is only part-time, but the child must nevertheless spend two and a half days a week at her grandmother‘s. The separation at birth was the initial conflict. The separation from the mother, due to the part-time job initiates a recurrence of the conflict. > “Atopic dermatitis breakouts“ in the repair phase (Archive B. Eybl). 52 Therapy THERAPY Since we were little children we have been administered various medications whenever we were ill. Although we were usually given our "therapy"during repair phases, the medication was still a comfort, a companion and it gave us hope. Now, I think we must take our time and organize the existing therapies according to the criteria of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. This cannot be done by simply waving a wand. On the contrary, it requires the cooperation of medical specialists who have first become acquainted with and then studied the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Again and again I experience people diving into the subject matter enthusiastically and then resurfacing to ask, “Yes, that's great and all, but what now? Where is the therapy?“ To simply do "nothing" is inconceivable for the vast majority of us. We are too deeply conditioned by our previous medical experiences for that. In this book, I attempt to give therapy its rightful place. What I mean is: everything that helps is welcome. Of course, understanding the biological interrelationships of the New Medicine is important, at least until the time comes when all doctors employ it. Even then, there will still be people who find it too inconvenient to have to think for themselves and will still just want to “believe“ their doctor. We have to accept this. Regardless, knowing what's going on frees patients from torturing fear and uncertainty. When someone knows, for example, that pain in their musculoskeletal system is part of the repair phase, they can tolerate it and even welcome it. Deducing the causes can even become a hobby. In the following, we will take a look at what we can do in relation to the phases on the individual levels - psyche, brain and body. In the lexicon, you will also find special treatment suggestions for every "disorder." Treatment - conflict-active phase psyche level Possibilities for conflict resolution The purpose of every SBS (Significant Biological Special Program) is to overcome a certain “catastrophic situation“ (biological conflict). Nature places this “tool“ in our toolkit for our survival. In making use of it, however, we cannot allow ourselves an endless amount of time. We are talking about a limited special program here, which puts an inordinate amount of strain on our psyche-brain-body system and would exhaust it over the long run. The consequence of constant stress: emaciation or repair phases that can hardly be endured. All SBSs have their origin in the “soul“ or psyche, and here lies the key to healing. When the conflict, triggers and conditioning have been discovered, we can start to think about how to resolve the situation. Just as every person and every fate is individual, so is are the possibilities for resolution. Our guiding principles: 1. Determine the conflict and the conditioning. 2. Actively and, if possible, tangibly bring about the solution. Examples: a In preschool, a child is put under pressure to always eat all the food on his plate, even if it doesn't taste good (= conflict, not wanting to swallow the food). Since he started going to preschool, he has regularly suffered throat infections. Tangible conflict resolution: the mother agrees with the preschool teacher that the child only has to eat what it really wants to. = Tangible solution by action. The child has no throat infections any more, since it has been allowed to eat "voluntarily." (Archive B. Eybl) a A left-handed man always experiences a territorial fear trigger (larynx mucosa) whenever his free time gets "filled up" with too many appointments. Tangible conflict resolution: the patient holds true to his rule of not scheduling fixed appointments in his free time any more. Since that time, he no longer has had laryngitis, just some “light touches.“ (Archive B. Eybl) Unfortunately, there are also difficult cases in which a tangible solution is not that simple: a Following a divorce, a young woman is left with a mountain of debt (= existential conflict - water retention, weight gain, headache). A practical solution would be a big box full of money for the patient, but more realistic would be moving back in with her mother to save money or to file for bankruptcy. For the patient, however, neither option is acceptable. (Archive B. Eybl) In such cases, we have to try to come up with an alternative, a “plan B.“ 53 Therapy The subconscious mind - the decisive factor Wanting to try and resolve the conflict with the conscious mind is good, but it's not that simple. This is because the levels of perception at which the biological conflicts have settled have little to do with the intellect and the conscious mind. Therefore, the key to success is getting the subconscious involved. The subconscious mind represents an essential, indeed the larger part of our psyche. It holds an unbelievable treasure of experiences, including all of the so-called triggers. In order to “delete“ triggers, we must reach the subconscious. When compared to the subconscious, our everyday consciousness is of little significance. Comparing it to a car, one could say that the subconscious is the drive chain and the chassis while consciousness merely represents the steering wheel.Nevertheless, our consciousness has a decisive, defining influence on the subconscious. The following citation is from the 1990s: Mind your thoughts, for they will become your words. Mind your words, for they will become your actions. Mind your actions, for they will become your habits. Mind your habits, for they will become your character. Mind your character, for it will become your fate. Or, as Marcus Aurelius said nearly 2,000 years ago: “The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.“ If the subconscious does not cooperate with the chosen therapy, no amount of effort will help. Understanding alone is not enough. So how do we bring the subconscious "on board?" Involve as many senses as possible. The more senses that are involved, the more likely it is that the subconscious will get involved. Over the years and decades, our conditioning and the triggers we respond to have worn deep ruts in our souls. They have become an integral part of us. Powerful impulses are necessary in order to get out of these ruts and replace them with new patterns. The Russian doctor Mirsakarim Norbekov ("The Experience of a fool who had an epiphany about how to get rid of his glasses") gives us guidance on how to reprogram the subconscious: He calls the power that is to be applied and activated by therapists, “the Octave.“ The “Octave“ is the most beautiful feeling we can imagine or that we have experienced in our lives. For example: a great success which gave us the feeling of being in “seventh heaven,“ a wonderful sunset shared with a loved one, the moment we were able to take a small child in our arms or the unforgettable beauty of a river. “The Octave“ is the coming together of conviction, determination, power, strength and firmness with tenderness, love and goodness and with the feeling of weightlessness and joy. “It is the relaxed, quiet, confident feeling that something will be as you wish it to be. At the same time, the Octave is the driving force toward achieving our goals. The Octave is the art of steering your own body, commanding and forcing it, step-by-step, both outwardly and inwardly, into transforming into the picture we wish to see.“ The inner effort must be very strong. It is a kind of inner attitude that says: "I am the will I am the power I am the love I am the forgiveness I am the youth I am the health I am the wisdom I am the joy of living I am everything beautiful Everything depends on me Everything lies in my hands.“ Practicing, performing rituals or providing therapy with this inner attitude can change the subconscious. It cannot withstand this powerful impulse. With this mind set, we can heal ourselves of chronic suffering. With this mind set, we are no longer the little, insignificant people, who are "steamrolled" by one conflict after another anymore; instead, we elevate ourselves to become the masters of our own destiny. Understanding the family situation Whoever is familiar with the hidden ordering in families as discovered by Bert Hellinger will be able to find resolutions to conflicts more easily. The clarification of the family situation is part and parcel of my work. Next to the awareness of early conditioning, it is the most important instrument for progress/healing. You aren't required to work out the family constellation - that's not everyone's cup of tea. You can explore the family dynamics in other ways - e.g., through a conversation. Here, the most important few: (book recommendation - Bert Hellinger, "Love's Hidden Symmetry," Zeig, Tucker & Co.). • We are bound to the family/clan that we are born into. Our (clean/guilty) conscience is part of the family's conscience. Total freedom is an illusion. > "I am the continuation of my parents and my ancestors." • If someone in the family has committed an injustice (or the family as a whole) and has not atoned for this, a descendant will later feel responsible for this (unconsciously) and will want to make up for this in their own way (usually to their detriment). > "Whatever you did, I'll leave you with the blame. I don't have 54 Therapy to shoulder it. I am only a child." • The hierarchy is ordained. Whoever is there first has a higher rank than those who come afterward. This mean the parents come first and then the children in their order. The first partner (and their common children) come before the next, even when they are divorced. Also, the parents have mothers and fathers and they come before the parents. From this, we get an endless row of ancestors with a natural order. This hierarchy also applies to groups like cliques, organizations, etc. > I insert myself into this hierarchy - freedom grows from it. • Even the outcasts belong to the family (e.g., a handicapped member living in an institution), the deceased (the premature or stillborn, abortions) and ones who moved away. If these aren't given their place, disharmony/illness arises in the family system. > I give them all a welcome place in my heart! • The children should accept their parents just as they are. There are none better (even when they were/are bad). Whoever only takes what they want from their parents (like from a buffet), is not taking them as a whole. Whoever despises their parents is cutting themselves off from the power completely. Then again, whoever says "Yes" to their parents wholeheartedly is in agreement with their life and their destiny. (This doesn't mean that you can't be of another opinion and travel down a completely different road than your parents.) Hate and contempt are chains of bondage. Love makes you free. > "Thanks mom, I accept everything from you. I keep you in my heart. Thanks dad, I also accept everything from you and I honor you. I follow my own path with strength." • If a boy or a man can't accept his father, the "masculine energy" can't flow to him. His masculinity is restricted, he tends toward depression. > "You are my only father and the best one for me. Thank you." • When a girl or a woman can't accept her mother, she can't be/ become a complete woman. > "You are my only mother and the best one for me. Thank you." • When it comes to their relationship, parents should not confide in their children. When parents say something to their children that is none of their business, children should ignore it. "Don't say anymore, I'm only your child." Children have just as little right to get involved in their parents' relationship(s). E.g., an affair, divorce or abortion is the parents' exclusive business. > "That's none of your concern my child." It's not appropriate when children act as a substitute partner. The child often feels flattered, but the rank is not suitable. > "I am only your child." (Also with adult children.) • When it comes to parenting, children should know who's in control. Children need loving AND strong parents. Children develop by obeying and also breaking the rules. Both are important. This is why rules are necessary. However, the essentials of parenting happen in the way the parents model behavior. Children mimic them automatically. If the parents disagree on questions of parenting and the father stands down (often), the child will unconsciously show solidarity with him, because it will want please both parents. Eventually, it will become just like the father. This will be even more pronounced the more the mother tries to shut out the father (e.g., alcoholic, failure). > "You are allowed to become like daddy or like me." • Children often forgo their own happiness and take on the unresolved/difficult/hushed-up/guilt-ridden issues of their ancestors (usually parents). Often, this is where you can find the deep roots of addiction, illness or problematic character traits according to the motto: "I should suffer too" or "I'll follow in your footsteps." • The end of the couple's relationship doesn't mean the end of the parental relationship. The mother will always remain the mother and the father always the father. (Always remember to tell this to the child!) > "We have separated from one another - that doesn't have anything to do with you. We are still your parents." • After a divorce, children should go to the parent that holds the other in the highest regard. The reason: The other parent has a greater presence there. A child should not be entrusted with this decision (they will be left with feelings of guilt). • Adoption motivated by, "We want a child," is inauspicious. Temporary foster care is okay. • In relationships, giving and taking must be balanced. Whoever is constantly giving and never takes always become more powerful, will want to maintain their superiority and this endangers the relationship. Whoever constantly takes and doesn't give anything destroys it as well. Parents give children so much (life) that the possibility of achieving balance is only limited: when the parents get old. • "I'm sorry" is better in a relationship than "please forgive me." Through the former, you're more likely to find equal footing than with magnanimous forgiveness. Making amends can also bring things back into balance. • Hellinger's great guiding principle: "You always have to search for the love - that is where you will find the solution." Talk about the conflict and your conditioning Men find it harder to talk about their feelings - this is probably one of the reasons why women live longer. The earlier and more we talk about a conflict we've experienced, the faster we come out of the conflict-active phase. If it was deep- 55 Therapy ly hurtful or embarrassing, this is not easy. However, we should move outside of our comfort zone and talk about the experience “from the heart.“ It is possible that the person we are talking to has experienced something similar or knows somebody who has experienced something similar. Knowing that you are not the only one with the conflict makes it less dramatic. Through talking, the “thinking in circles“ comes to an end. Afterwards, we see more clearly, can put things into some sort of order and perhaps even find a solution. The important thing is that we talk to someone, whether it is a friend, a partner, a colleague at work or someone else. What's decisive is putting an end to the psychological isolation. If there is no one we can talk to, we can tell our story - our suffering - to an animal. Pets are excellent listeners. They have certain disadvantages, but also advantages: They do not interrupt, judge, or gossip about us afterwards. Obviously, the ideal person would be someone who is familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and someone we trust. “Professional help“ from psychotherapists or psychologists makes sense if they are also familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and the effects of family conditioning. Write about the conflict It is also possible to write about the conflict "from the heart." Through writing, we often get to the point better because we have time to consider everything. Writing clarifies things. Writing can also help us come to conclusions. In light of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, keeping a diary is valuable for many reasons: for diagnosis, for keeping a record of events as they play out over time and for therapy, because through writing about it, we have already “worked through“ the conflict. With some (interpersonal) conflicts, writing an honest letter often helps you to get things off your chest. You can then consider if you really want to mail the letter (caution: you probably don't) or only mail it symbolically by means of a small ritual. It doesn't matter if the recipient is alive or has already died. An example ritual could be: after writing the letter, take it to the bank of a river, ceremonially burn it and then commend the ashes to the flowing waters. Forgiving - reconciling Most conflicts happen in relation to other people. Many recurring conflicts are “kept alive“ by holding a grudge against someone. In this case, forgiveness is a simple recipe. Sometimes we don't even need to forgive, but only to put ourselves in the other person‘s shoes and try to understand their words and actions. Every action a person performs is based on their own individual history and personal conditioning. If we have had the same history, we would have acted likewise. Sometimes we drive ourselves to madness by thinking that somebody wants to hurt us, to rob us, to ruin our reputation, etc. There is also a deeper aspect of forgiveness: We have caused everything that happens in our lives ourselves - in this life or in a previous one. Our environment, our fellow human beings are just holding up the mirror for us. Everything we emit from ourselves (thoughts, words, and deeds) comes back to us - the effect of the "law of attraction." This law works, whether we believe in it or not, and it works as precisely as a clock. I recommend the book on this topic by the practicing naturopath Marion Kohn (see source list). Using case examples, she shows that conflicts do not just “fall from the sky,“ but they appear according to plan. She links the 5 Biological Laws of Nature with the spiritual realm. In this way, forgiving becomes easier, because we realize that greater forces are at work behind the biology. There's no doubt about it, it's easier to feel like the poor victim than to take personal responsibility for our own lives and accept the strokes of fate with gratitude. The truth is: we are always the victim of our own deeds. Once we understand this completely, there is no reason to be angry with anyone. - Why should we be angry with someone who brings back a part of our self to us? Consequently, when we see the world in this way, there is then also no need to forgive anymore. All that remains is gratitude and amazement at the wonderful order in which all of our lives are embedded. Personally, I find the easiest way to forgive someone is if I remind myself: What was acting here was this person's “little ego“ and not their divine core. With this in mind, I can't possibly be angry with this “little ego.“ A prerequisite for forgiveness is mental maturity or religiousness in the sense of a connection to a spiritual world. Forgiving does not mean "backing down." It is not a contradiction when you turn away from someone and also forgive them at the same time. You can even fight with someone and at the 56 Therapy same time still forgive them and understand why they don't act in another way. When we forgive a person, it's best to let them know, because your forgiveness can also be a healing factor for that person. The act of forgiving someone registers directly in the subconscious when we make a small, ceremonial ritual out of it (e.g., a handshake, a hug, a present, or an invitation). If forgiveness doesn't come from our hearts, but only from our minds, the conflict resolution usually doesn't work. Playing out conflicts and solutions ("Theater therapy," psychodrama acc. to Moreno) Theater is as old as mankind itself. Only on the surface do we perceive theater as entertainment. However, the deep meaning of theater is healing. Healing of the audience and society respectively and the healing of the actors. The ancient Greek tragedies, like many classical works of music, are constructed in two phases and were intended as "healing exercises" for the audience. Theater attempted to show individual or collective conflicts and increase awareness. In the protective atmosphere of the theater, the conflict can be felt again. The renewed experience of distress motivates the individual to a solution (which can then be played out). If a person was denied his freedom because of a conflicting event in real life, theater reopened the door to freedom. Theater touches all of our senses and, thus, reaches our innermost being. The subconsciousness can be programmed anew by reenacting the conflict and "playing out a solution." If one day, the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature is integrated into so-called theater therapy, we will be able to expect quite a lot. What is presented to us today as "modern theater“ is practically meaningless. It lacks connections to nature and to spirituality and the responsibility for healing is missing. For our purposes, we don't necessarily need a stage and the fancy term “theater therapy.“ We can act out, alone or with others, a certain scene that we cannot come to terms with in real life - one which “won‘t let go“ of us, in the form of triggers, and is making us ill over the long run. We relive the conflict and “let off its steam“ reduce its significance, rearrange it, and evaluate it in a new way. The old programming, with all of its triggers, is wiped clean and new, positive programming is anchored firmly in its place! a The story takes place in France: A four-year-old boy is often naughty, so the parents hire a Santa Claus (Papa Noel), who should “read the riot act“ to the child. When the doorbell rings, the father tells him, “That is Papa Noel, so you‘d better pay attention.“ For 10 minutes, there is thumping, scraping and scratching on the door - a horrifying eternity for the boy. Afterwards, it seems as if he had been struck by lightning (a motor conflict of not being able to flee and a separation conflict from the fear of being taken away). He dreams about the scene every night (= recurrent). Up until the age of 26, the boy suffers from epilepsy. The conflict was successfully resolved thanks to Dr. Hamer, who reenacted the scene. Again, a stunt Santa was hired and a corresponding set was constructed. Again, there was thumping and scratching, but when "Papa Noel" finally entered the room, the tables were turned. This time, Santa Claus was given a proper thrashing. Since then, the patient was healed. (Cf. Dr. med. Mag. Theol. Ryke Geerd Hamer, Vermächtnis einer Neuen Medizin, Teil 1, Amici di Dirk Verlag, 7. Auflage 1999, ISBN: 84930091-0-5. Hereinafter cited as “Goldenes Buch vol. 1“ p. 143) a At the age of six months, an infant is operated on for an anal fistula. In order to clean the wound, both of the child‘s parents have to hold the child‘s arms and legs. The poor baby screams painfully (motor conflict of not being able to escape). In the following months, the boy shows a marked slowdown in his motor development. The parents, who are familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, discover the conflict six months later and release him by replaying the scene. The father‘s story: "So we laid him down on a table again. I held his legs and my wife pressed around on his bottom, so 57 Therapy that he would be reminded of the situation. As soon as I took hold of his legs, the joy and smile disappeared from his face. His eyes opened wide with fright in anticipation of the pain! It was so clear! My wife pressed a little bit on his bottom exactly on the same spot, so he could remember. He was absolutely tense, in panic, about to start screaming. I loosened my grip so that my hands were barely touching him. Actually, I was expecting him to start kicking, but he lay completely still. I waited. Then I felt a little bit of movement in his legs. I overreacted and acted as if he had pushed away my hands, raised my hands and arms and took a step backward. He just looked at me. Again I went close to him and took hold of his legs, but not as tightly as before. My wife pressed on the spot of the already-healed wound on his bottom again. Following a more noticeable movement of his legs, I let him push me away again. His eyes were fixed on me. We went through this routine about 10 or 15 times and each time the movement of his legs became a little stronger and slowly the fear and panic disappeared. In the end, he even liked it and laughed. As I am writing this story, I have to think of Dr. Hamer‘s words: “A conflict is then resolved when the person can laugh about it.“ How true! Now he had a big smile on his face. While I held him, he stretched out his legs and I let myself fall on my back. It was so good to see how he be-came “free.“ His little legs had no strength, but he made the flexed them to push me away. It was wonderful to see how he had changed. It was late afternoon and bedtime soon, so we decided to repeat the play the next day. The next morning we were surprised: he had slept through the whole night - the first time in months! During the day, we also found that his hands were warmer and that he was much more even-tempered and whined less. We played the game again and again. No more panic was seen in his eyes - he wanted to start the game right away and “knock me over.“ Two days later, we stopped playing the game; we did not want to do it too often. The following nights, he continued to sleep through. So it all hadn‘t been by chance. His ability to crawl slowly improved about two weeks after the resolution of the conflict. We could clearly see how he was getting more and more active as he turned, crawled, stood up and even walked. Six or seven weeks after resolving the conflict, he took his first steps holding onto a little play buggy. Soon he was walking alone, rarely falling. Now he is two and a half years old and has completely caught up. The examinations show that he is developing normally.“ (see www.germanische-heilkunde.at) Performing rituals Rituals are symbolic actions for sealing intentions or decisions. They are not relics of the past, but powerful therapeutic tools we can apply specifically with our knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Our goal is to inform the subconscious and to reprogram it. If, for instance, we cannot get over the separation from our partner (= separation conflict), we can perform a farewell ritual where we make a clean break and cut the cord that still binds us to the relationship. Examples: • I revisit a place where I had spent happy hours with my partner. I light a candle, thank fate for the time we spent together, say goodbye in my thoughts before blowing out the candle and leaving the past permanently behind me. • I fumigate the apartment with incense, light a scented candle. • I build a campfire, throw the partner‘s letters into the fire and say goodbye in my thoughts. • I meet with the partner for a last time and say good-bye in a deliberate and formal way. In the case of a persistent fear-of-rear-attack conflict, we can consider a protection ritual. We can end a persistent territorial-marking conflict by clearly marking our territorial borders. The most important thing is that we "get to the point" and experience it with our whole heart. The more feeling we put into the ritual, the more effective it will be. The best rituals are the ones that occur to us spontaneously. Religiousness, praying, and meditation Through prayer and meditation we try - based on our attitude and orientation - to come in contact with a higher power, be it God or the Gods, angels or our guardian angel. The motives for prayer are various and everyone should pray in their own way. The connection to "above" is immensely important, at least as important as being grounded, in other words, standing with both feet firmly on the ground. Someone who is connected to a spiritual world does not suffer from every "trivial" conflict they experience. A person who knows that life is just a brief intermezzo in a long journey, can't be thrown off balance easily, since their foundation is of a spiritual nature and therefore indestructible. When we pray and meditate with regard to conflicts, we shouldn't make the same mistake as the young woman on page 63f. Praying can also be a request - asking for help. It is okay to ask 58 Therapy for help if we find ourselves at a dead end or if a conflict situation appears to be hopeless. The possibilities for receiving help from the spiritual world are enormous. Every one of us has a protective spirit who is happy to help us if they are allowed to intervene, that is, if the intervention conforms with our life‘s plan. As a therapist, I have become used to silently asking for the recovery of everyone seeking help. The act of asking brings a certain comforting humility. I think that every patient should also sincerely ask for healing. Regardless of the phase, we will be helped! Making amends Many conflicts remain active because we cannot forgive ourselves, usually for thoughtless words or deeds that hurt someone or caused damage. I.e.: We have committed, in effect, a hit and run. E.g.: A man cheats on his wife one single time and is plagued with guilt for many years afterward until he finally "confesses" the fling to his wife. (Archive B.Eybl) "A guilty conscience" usually begins a shoulder SBS. But it can also turn into a trigger for some other conflict. Please note: This is not about being right or wrong in a moral or legal sense, but rather, it's about someone's personal feeling of having done something wrong. An violent criminal who feels no remorse for what they have done will also have no conflict, no SBS will begin. - That at some point fate will make them pay the bill in full - well, that's another matter. People are only tormented by lingering guilt when they don't acknowledge it and they try to suppress it instead. When guilt is faced and fully acknowledged, the guilty feelings mysteriously disappear. Even if it takes great effort, we should resolve conflicts whenever possible by making amends or even by turning ourselves in (if you believe in the judicial system). "I am sorry," often works wonders. Leaving the conflict behind you ("Toilet Bowl Therapy") Each of us knows what needs to be done on the toilet: leave a little pile, wipe, flush and you're finished. A simple procedure that we've done thousands of times. Now let‘s just imagine the following: A person leaves his little pile. But instead of flushing, they use the toilet brush to spread out their faeces - insane? Of course, but this is what many of us are doing over and over. Instead of flushing conflicts (= toilet bowl contents) away and forgetting about them, we carry them around for days, weeks, years, and even our whole lives (persistent conflicts). Grumbling and brooding, more or less thinking in circles, we block our life energy. Always thinking about old burdens from the past, we stagger into the next ditch fate puts in front of us, because we are not living in the present. Enough of that. Get rid of the old baggage. Learn your lesson from the past, but then leave the ballast behind. Let's begin every day fresh. Putting the conflict in perspective (Example: the Milky Way therapy) Consider the Milky Way: estimated at over 200 billion suns and their planets. The Earth is a small planet near the edge of the galaxy - one of hundreds of billions of others. On this earth alone, we live as one of over 7 billion people. Each of us considers him or herself to be the most important of all - the center of the world, every man for himself. But be honest: From a cosmic perspective, are we not incredibly insignificant? Dust particles of the cosmos, tiny cells in a giant organism. Why do we think we're so important? How meaningless, how trivial are our little human "mini-problems?" Let's broaden our horizons and put things in perspective. “Above the clouds, the freedom must be boundless. All fears, all worries, they say, remain hidden down below and then, what seems grand and important to us, would suddenly seem be trivial and small…“ (Chorus of “Über den Wolken,“ a song by the German singer-songwriter Reinhard Mey) 59 Therapy Music therapy, singing — dancing Experiments with plants and animals show that music has a positive effect on their health. First and foremost, music doesn't heal the physical body of the plant, animal or human; it first heals their souls and only then the body. Music opens our hearts - actively making music as well as listening to music. I think that basically any music you like heals, at least a little. Although, you probably can only speak of healing music when it is naturally balanced and harmonizes (resonates) with the good, the beautiful and the divine that is in all of us. Ideally, this kind of music can evoke our conflict (with its disharmonic aspects) and then heal or carry it away on its their harmonic waves. True healing music is inspired and comes from the spiritual realms. It reflects the divine cosmic order, as well as sacred geometry (Melchizedek), mathematics (Plichta), physics (Schauberger), biology, chemistry (Russell) and indeed the whole of nature. Through the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, the therapeutic use of making and listening to music and dancing and singing will certainly receive increased recognition. Dr. Hamer recommends his song: “Mein Studentenmädchen" (can be heard on YouTube). Laughter Laughter is the best medicine. - We can learn this from the Mediterranean cultures. It is not just the olive oil and tomatoes that allow them to live longer, but their lightheartedness and cheerful outlook as well. With humor, we can overcome conflicts and crises better. We should not take ourselves and our life, the “game of life,“ too seriously. We won‘t get anywhere in life when we only have a doggedly rigid attitude - and certainly not when it comes to resolving conflicts. When the rigidity gives way to laughter, we're already winners. Imagine health - imagine the solution (Visualization) Our thoughts and the images we see are forces which will manifest themselves sooner or later. Negative thoughts and horrible imagery manifest themselves just the same as positive thoughts and happy visions do. Even if the conflict cannot be solved in real terms, we shouldn't constantly linger in a haze of conflict and "sickness." We have to look forward. By imagining health or the solution to our conflict in intensive imagery, we set powerful forces in motion. Today‘s dream is tomorrow‘s reality. The most effective visualizations are those in the state between being awake and dreaming. In this relaxed state of awareness, our brain oscillates at a frequency of around 10 Hz (= alpha waves). This is the point where dreaming starts and the inner imagery appears by itself. If we decide in favor of visualization exercises, we need to set up a certain time in our daily routine, e.g., before getting up in the morning or before going to bed at night. Example: Someone has been suffering from pain in their lower back for a long time, because when they were a child they had the feeling that they were not worth anything (persistent conflict). Possible visualization: e.g., being in a beautiful field of flowers, running around and dancing in a completely healthy body. My spine feels light and free. I acknowledge the dark chapter in my childhood and leave it behind. I look forward to a new feeling of being alive. Bach Flower Remedies During the course of his life (1886–1936), the English physician Dr. Edward Bach came to realize that all physical ailments have a psychic or spiritual origin. During the last years of his life, he fully devoted himself to looking for natural healing methods, which showed no side effects. With his innate sensitivity, he wandered through the woods of Wales and sensed the characteristics of various plants. By the time of his death in 1936, he had developed a system of 38 flower concentrations, produced from the blossoms of wild plants, trees, and shrubs. According to Dr. Bach, illness is the reaction of the body to psychological disturbances (conflicts). Using Bach flowers, negative feelings are not suppressed, but rather transformed into positive attitudes. E.g., through its unique nature, the yellow willow can help us to forgive past injustices and let them go. Careworn people, blocked by self-pity and bitterness, can recover with the 60 Therapy help of this plant. Dr. Bach always advised chronically sick people not to pay attention to their physical symptoms, but rather to work on the continued development of their soul. When harmony is restored on the spiritual level, the complaints will improve automatically. In practice, Bach flower remedies can hardly be used symptomatically, because in the Bach flower system there are no correlations between conflicts and organs. Bach flower therapy is especially suited for the conflict-active phase, but also for providing moral support during the healing-phase. The choice of flowers can be rational, intuitive, or made by the patient themselves. The patient, for example, is allowed to pick his own essences. - When you are making your selection, ask for guidance from “above.“ Painting therapy “When put onto paper, inner visions (imaginations) can represent unconscious needs or conflicts in the form of deep psychological symbols. In the act of doing so, conflicts are expressed and experienced. With the support of therapists, flashbacks to traumatic scenes are made possible in a protected environment. Feelings and conflict tensions are registered. By viewing the image with its symbolism from a different perspective and with a certain distance, internal relationships can be recognized. This new perception makes it easier to find creative solutions to the problem - at first on paper and then in real life." (www.maltherapie-zentrum.at) Painting therapy seems to be especially well-suited for people, who cannot be reached intellectually (through conversation), whether this is because they are too young, or they have a mental disability or a communication disturbance disorder (such as autism). It could also be the right thing for people, with old, deep-rooted conflicts and for people, who are drawn to painting. The language of animals is images. - If you want to communicate with them, you have to send them pictures. Telepathic messages are inner images. Inner images are telepathic messages. Images are “in-FORM-ation.“ Images form matter. In other words, images shape our future, consciously or unconsciously. Psychotherapy Since psychotherapy has always been concerned with the healing of the soul, we can not ignore it. The last decades have brought about countless psychotherapeutic techniques. This makes the field so vast that it is hardly manageable, even for “insiders.“ One valid guiding principle in this jungle of methods is the saying, "The healer is right!" Those methods that helps us out of conflict-activity, "are right" and are "the right methods." (On a physical symptom level, the saying has only limited validity.) However, two things are crucial: First, the psychotherapist should try to help the patient find a real resolution to their conflict. Real conflict resolution means a biological solution of the conflict that overshadows all “tricks“ by its effectiveness. The psychotherapist should work on the basis of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. The best psychotherapist is a physician and the best physician is also a psychotherapist. We need to breathe new life into the methods of psychotherapy by applying the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. This work must be carried out by specialists of the relevant medical fields. Matrix Reimprinting This very effective treatment is a further development of the, fairly well-known EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). The founder Carl Dawson assumes that in a conflict shock, a part of our psyche splits off and, in doing so, "freezes." One now gets in touch with this "partial-I" to convince it that the act of splitting off was well-meant, but it is no longer necessary. Through this process, the release of conflict mass and reintegration of the partial-I happens instantly. Carl Dawson is familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Regression therapy, reincarnation therapy A regression therapy, whether under the guidance of a therapist or alone (in meditation), makes sense if the conflict arose a very long time ago or if it has been forgotten. Regression is finding the conflict first and then conflict resolution by "bringing up" the conflict and experiencing it again. a The author Christopher Ray describes in his book: 100 Days Heart Attack,24 how he resolves a territorial loss conflict, which he suffered in the womb, through a regression that he carried out himself. 24 Monika Berger-Lenz & Christopher Ray, Neue Medizin 8, 100 Tage Herzinfarkt, Faktuell Verlag, Görlitz 2009 61 Therapy He found himself with his little sibling (twin) in his mother‘s womb when she decided to have an abortion. This was only partially successful, meaning his sister died and left the womb. = Loss-of-territory conflict (he felt that is sister was part of his territory). He was then born, but because of the unconscious memory of his sister, he had massive heart problems his entire life. After 6 decades of activity, the conflict resolved itself through the regression. As a consequence, he suffered a series of heart attacks over a period of 100 days, which he fortunately survived. After that, the chronic angina pectoris that plagued him before the regression disappeared. As we can see, regressions are somewhat risky, even the ones that are carried out with guidance. It can be dangerous to cut through the veil of forgetting, for we do not forget in vain. Forgetting is a sensible form of protection. This also corresponds with the findings of Dr. Hamer. Old conflicts, especially the so-called territorial conflicts, should not be resolved after the passage of so much time. Consider the boss at a company, who carried a job-related territorial conflict around with him his whole life, and then, a few weeks after retiring, dies of a heart attack during his repair phase crisis. There are very specific instructions for conducting regressions in the book, "The Journey"25 by the American author Brandon Bays. Her methods are well-suited for our purpose. In the reincarnation theory, one tries to return to a previous lifetime and find the cause of the problem(s). There is no doubt 25 Brandon Bays, The Journey: A Practical Guide to Healing Yourself and Setting Yourself Free, Atria Books, Reissue edition, 2012 that existing therapy successes speak for these methods. The “overview“ over many incarnations and the parallels to today‘s problems in life may have a healing effect. This also goes for an understanding of certain weaknesses and preferences that one may have had in previous lives. On the other hand, I think that there's a reason that nature put a barrier between lives. Obviously it is best, with a few exceptions, that we concentrate on this life rather than poke around in the past. How does it help us to know who we were and where we lived, whether we were rich or poor or what occupation we had? Maybe it's interesting to know all that, but it doesn't help bring us any further. What does help is treating our neighbors as we would like to be treated ourselves. To recognize and solve our life‘s tasks (main conflicts) - in the here and now - that's what helps us further. This should give us - every one of us - enough to do for the rest of our lives. I am perhaps cautious when it comes to reincarnation therapy, but the knowledge that we are repeatedly born again with the sole purpose of furthering our spiritual and emotional development is, in my opinion, the basis for a meaningful life free of fear. Healing by assuming full responsibility (Ho'oponopono) This wonderful, unbelievably appealing method gained worldwide recognition through the success of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len in Hawaii. To put it briefly, we can heal sick people, ourselves and Mother Earth in the following way: • I see the sick person and recognize the illness with all of its burdens and weight. • I recognize that all of it has something to do with me, for the external world is just a mirror of my inner self. • This is why I assume full responsibility, for I am in some way partially responsible for the situation. • Now I want to make amends and say, “I am sorry that I was part of the cause. • Please forgive me, Creator! And I forgive myself too!" • "Thank you, for now I have the chance to heal it!" • "I love you!" • Ho'oponopono short form: "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you." Trauma Release Exercise (TRE) The physiotherapist David Berceli recognized that during a traumatic experience, people develop protective muscular patterning that often remains long after the trigger is gone. Here, the lumbar muscle (M. Psoas) plays the main role. The first part of the therapy consists of subjecting the muscles to strong tension (~ conflict activity) to then relax them completely while lying down (~ resolution). The conscious relaxation will provoke a muscle tremor (~ healing crisis). Berceli calls these tremors “neurogenic tremors.” From our perspective, this technique pushes a persistent conflict through the two-phases (see p. 13) and will resolve it in the process. You can “shake” the conflict out of your body. According to Berceli, it is necessary to be aware of or imagine the trauma. “Simplifying it” is enough. 62 Therapy Healing rituals after pregnancy/childbirth The Swiss midwife Brigitte Meissner has developed three rituals for healing the trauma of pregnancy and/or childbirth: 1. Healing Conversation: During a peaceful moment, the mother can tell her child about her problems, what was painful or difficult, what she was worried about and how she would do things differently now. She simply shares her feelings with her little one. Babies understand what their mothers’ want to say, even when they are only a few days old. 2. Mother-Child Bath: The basic idea is a repetition of the birth. The baby is bathed and placed naked and wet on the mother’s breast. Then they are both swaddled together in warm blankets and can peacefully repeat the experience of the baby’s arrival. The bath should remind the baby of the warm amniotic fluid, and lying wet and naked on mama’s breasts with extensive cuddling reenacts the feeling of security after birth. Mother and child are allowed to cry – the little one usually does, because they like to explain their side of the story too. The healing bath should be done on a weekly basis and repeated three to four times. 3. Pink-Heartstring Technique: The mother imagines that there is a pink string representing her love that extends from her heart to her baby’s heart and will remain forever. This technique can heal, for example, if the mother and baby were separated after birth, if the child was taken to the nursery too soon and/or if the child had to stay alone in the hospital. Whenever the mother feels that she is losing contact with her child, the connection can be made via the heartstring. How I proceed in my practice 1. Beforehand, I ask the patient to bring the results of all of their medical examinations (blood work, x-rays, etc.). At the beginning of our conversation, they can describe their complaints/symptoms. 2. I try to assign the symptoms to the right SBS and the right phase. 3. After that, I ask targeted questions to find the corresponding conflict. E.g.: "In terms of the New Medicine, this appears to be a persistent separation conflict. Did you experience something of the sort five years ago?..." 4. We work together to find out what conditioning underlies the conflict. This is where we will find the actual cause. At this point, the patient can decide for themselves if they would like to proceed with this information alone or if we should proceed together. 5. An appropriate therapeutic massage to facilitate relaxation. 6. Following that, a meditation in this prone position: Step 1. Prayer Silently (or aloud), ask for spiritual help in resolving the conflict or for helping the patient. Make the connection to God. Step 2. Naming, declaring the intention I name the conflict/conditioning again briefly and ask the patient if they are now ready to resolve it. Step 3. Reliving The patient should place themselves in the situation or conditioning once again (e.g., Mommy wasn't there...). Step 4. Appreciation Ask the patient to express their appreciation for the conflict situation. In other words, they should say, “Thank you that I was able to experience this situation, so I could learn from it.“ Step 5. New conditioning Based on the conflict situation, we imagine a good situation. E.g., Mommy comes back and gives me a big hug and says that she's always there for me." Step 6. Enjoyment The patient should "bathe" in this new feeling with pleasure. This energy should fill their whole body. Step 7. Seeing the Conflict in the Larger Context We travel to the ancestor who had such a decisive influence on the patient, so that they can gain an awareness of the issue. We honor their life by bowing in thought in front of the ancestor (possibly in front of the whole line of ancestors). I say the healing phrase, e.g.: “I have acquired the issue of ... from you. I transform it now … I am doing this for my healing and for yours and for the whole family’s.” Step 8. Giving thanks We thank the spiritual world for its help. Homework: Every evening for three weeks, the patient should relive/feel the healing thoughts/imagery as intensely as they possibly can. In their daily lives, they patient should consciously deal with matter they identified in a new/different way. The method that I have just outlined is just one of many possible ways of proceeding. There are “many roads that lead to Rome.“ This is confirmed by the many letters I received following the first edition of this book. Successes in resolving conflicts were also reported by using neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), the Chinese Quantum Method (CQM), quantum healing, matrix energy, two point methods, and many others. 63 Therapy Set a time limit for the therapy In naturopathy, we know the basic rule of therapy that states: a certain remedy should only be taken for a certain period of time (e.g., drinking a tea mixture for three weeks). Taking it for any longer doesn't make any sense. This rule also applies to psychic healing as well. A good therapy first brings up the conflict on the conscious level and makes us briefly conflict-active. In the second step, we try to resolve the conflict somehow. If the resolution is not successful within a certain period of time, we should stop the therapy. This is because there is a certain danger of keeping the conflict alive artificially. This result would be counterproductive - wellintentioned, but off-target nonetheless. a Example: A young woman is suffering from a loss-conflict because her mother has died. She makes it a habit to pray for her mother every day. Years later, after she finally stops doing it, an ovarian cyst grows, which is diagnosed four months later. Note: Rather than to conclude with the event and starting new again, she keeps the conflict alive for years with her daily prayers. The unusually-long conflict period results in an unusually large conflict-mass. Instead of a small cyst, a large cyst grows in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Excursus: The Phenomenon of First Worsening In natural healing, the “first worsening,“ in Chinese medicine and homeopathy also often referred to as a "healing crisis," is when the symptoms get worse at the beginning of the therapy. The “first worsening“ is - for homeopaths and natural healers - a welcome sign, because it shows that the therapy has taken hold and is starting to work. How can this phenomenon be explained? Many years ago, when I first took an intense interest in the findings of Dr. Hamer, I plowed through all the different illnesses with their various conflict origins and compared them to my own illnesses. Soon, I became sicker than I ever had before. What had happened? I had "dug up" my old, unresolved conflicts and by understanding how things were interrelated, I had resolved them through this process of reevaluation. Chronic processes have to be taken back to the acute stage if they are to be healed. This is true for the body level as well as for the level of the psyche. Abscesses (encapsulated pus) can be caused “erupt“ (e.g., with heat treatments. - A first worsening (pain and even more swelling) is unavoidable. How do natural healing and homeopathy "kick-off" the healing (= first worsening)? Could it be that in this process we're dealing with a resonance phenomenon? Nobody doubts that every person has a certain character - certain psychological traits. This is also true of animals and plants; something that is now recognized by science as well. Shouldn‘t we also attribute a certain character to “dead materials,“ such as stones, minerals, metals, salts, and so forth? After all, all materials are of a spiritual origin and therefore also have specific spiritual-psychic characteristics. Isn't it possible that, e.g., the specific character of a pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) could come into resonance with the specific conflict-active spirt of a person and heals them in this way? On the organic level, these means strengthen the vagotonia, so that after the first worsening, a thorough healing can follow. What can stand in the way of healing 1. Advantages through the illness: Many people are lacking attention. As a child or an adult, they may have experienced that they receive love and attention when they're sick. From this, a program is created: "I may be sick, but that's not so bad, because now I am loved." Unconsciously through this, they will cling to their suffering. Also, consider the advantages of early retirement, disability, care allowances, and other "benefits." 2. Some people identify themselves as a victim (e.g., of a bad partner, an unloving mother). With an illness, they can get revenge by giving the "oppressor" a guilty conscience: "Look how sick I am (silently: because of you)." 3. Healing requires change. Some people don't want to change themselves (mostly due to laziness or fear). > I'll check and see if these patterns are right and then forget about them!" Therapy - conflict-active phase at the brain level I am not aware of anything that can be done during conflict activity at the brain level. What's decisive is approaching conflict resolution at the psychological level (see previous pages). Therapy - conflict-active phase at the body level Most SBSs do not cause physical symptoms in the conflict-active phase; this is because we do not feel “ill.“ In fact, the body usually functions especially well during this phase. It is more or less in a state of “doping“ by the sympathetic nervous system. - A natural overdrive for overcoming the conflict. We pay for that later in the repair phase in form of a “healing hangover“ (= vagotonic repair phase). Even if we know that a conflict has just taken place on the body level, unlike with the psychic level, there is not much we can or should do. As the "executive body," the body carries out the appropriate special program. When it comes to starting (psyche) and steering (brain) them, the body only has influence within the frame- 64 Therapy work of its own “feedback“ For example, if an intestinal tumor develops because of indigestible anger (= conflict-active phase), we have to try to deal with the conflict on the psychic level. At the body level, we can or must intervene, e.g., if the conflict lasts too long and there is a risk of a bowel obstruction (ileus). In such cases, we are happy and thankful for modern surgical interventions and certain medications. Nutrition During the conflict-active phase, repair-phase and also when we are experiencing no phase at all (normotonia), healthy, organically pure, genetically unmodified and balanced nutrition is important. During conflict-activity we tend to eat less. At the same time, the body is running at “full speed,“ meaning it is willing and able to perform. Logically, fasting or a reduced diet is the wrong thing at such a time, especially for thin people. The few things that appeal to us should be nourishing and biologically valuable. Overweight people might want to take advantage of such a situation and lose some weight - this is especially easy during this phase (except in the case of an active refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules). I have found out that in a conflict-active (stressful) phase, I tend to reach for less valuable foods (sweets, white flour, etc.) more than I do in good times. The biological explanation for this is that short-chain (simple) carbohydrates give you more energy quickly and easily cover your energy needs during conflict-activity. Let‘s be honest: just about every one of us knows what good nutrition is. We all know exactly what is good for us - organic, natural, full-value, balanced foods in reasonable amounts. We all know it and nevertheless, few of us are strong enough to follow through with it, actually “do the right thing.“ At first, let's try to stop making our worst dietary mistakes by overcoming our “weaker selves.“ In the following, I limit myself to the basic interrelationships. Nutrition and cancer Along with inner balance, good nutrition is the second most important pillar for stable health. An undernourished, "run-down" living being is prone to attract conflict upon themselves. E.g., self-esteem conflicts because they feel inferior, territory conflicts because they are too weak to defend their territory, anger conflicts because they have lost the fight for the "chunk." So saying that poor nutrition predisposes someone to cancer is correct in this sense. I am also of the opinion that continuous poisoning (fast food diet, residual pesticides, electromagnetic pollution, chemtrails, pharmaceuticals, immunizations, and much more) can cause feedback effects via the brain that eventually do lead to cancer. It's not only bad nutrition that can undermine our vitality, but also active or passive smoking, drugs/alcohol, too little, too much or too monotonous physical activity, improper breathing and bad posture. A well-fed individual - because of their vitality - can deal with a repair phase crisis better than an individual who has been weakened by the consumption of poisons. There is no doubt that having a healthy diet increases the quality and quantity of life. The medical medium, Anthony William has been able to heal thousands of people through his nutritional recommendations alone. His credo: fruit, vegetables and herbs above everything (don't be afraid of fructose). His favorites: apples, pears, lemons, oranges, blueberries, apricots, melons, mangoes, papayas, salad, asparagus, beans, celery, red beets, radishes, garlic, onions, spinach, avocados, sprouts, nuts, dates, honey, parsley, spirulina, barley grass powder, thyme, sage, tumeric, stinging nettles (an amazing plant that is almost completely overlooked) and lemon balm. To be avoided according to William: meat, animal fat, milk products, marine fish, mussels, etc. (due to mercury). The atmosphere at mealtime Eating in a positive atmosphere, enjoyed with pleasure and due concentration, also promotes one's health. Eating and drinking makes us ill when we are angry, afraid, or worried. It can cause triggers to be set that can reactivate throughout our whole lives (food allergies). To eat while driving is also dangerous, because conflicts can happen at any moment while driving. The acid-base balance In natural healing circles, over-acidity is heard quite often and has become something of a "knockout argument." Over-acidity has been made the culprit for nearly every illness imaginable. From the point of view of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, overacidity means basically the same thing as conflict activity. Stress, negative thoughts and feelings, all increase the acid milieu in the body. When something doesn't suit us, we become “sour“ - psychologically and physically. Vagotonia is alkaline. Positive feelings and thoughts lead to an alkaline milieu in the body. 65 Therapy It is interesting that in the body, poor nutrition, in terms of the acid-alkaline balance, is hardly more noticeable than stress. You can prove this for yourself by means of a test that measures the urine‘s pH value.26 A good mood, the joy of living and positive experiences cause the urine's pH to be higher than 7, even when eating a less than optimal diet. Similar values, but with not quite as high a pH, can be obtained from alkaline meals (e.g., raw vegetables, bitter herbs, etc.). Conflictive events, stress, bad moods and so on, lead to low pH values in the urine (acidic). A person can eat as many carrots and vegetable as he wants; in such a psychological state, the pH value will not go up appreciably. Taking alkaline powders is a chemical-mineral means for "fighting" the level of acidity. This is fine in the case of heartburn, but using them over a longer period to lower the bodily milieu, is not good (in my opinion). To lower the level of acidity, we have to change our inner lives, the habits of our everyday lives and our nutritional habits. Organically-bound bases in our daily fruits and vegetables (sprouts, bitter herbs, etc.) can be absorbed by the body far better than non-organic alkaline powders. Edgar Cayce, the “sleeping prophet,“ recommended that we should consume 80% alkaline and only 20% acidic foods. Translated onto the level of the psyche, this means in order to stay healthy, we should be relaxed and happy for 80% of the day and only be under stress 20% of the time. The strongest providers of alkalis are medicinal herbs that grow in the wild, such as dandelion, common centaury (Centaurium erythraea), bear‘s garlic (Allium ursinum), sage, peppermint, daisies (Bellis perennis), stinging nettles, Melissa, buckhorn (Plantago lanceolata) and many more. The ingredients from “God's pharmacy“ are free for the taking and, for healing, are a thousand times better than all of the expensively packaged products in the stores. Pick them as you take a relaxing nature walk. When fine26 I use the “indicator paper Uralyt-U ph 5.2–7.4“ from the company Madaus. ly chopped, they can give a variety of dishes an organic upgrade. Wild herb base drink (alkaline tonic): Mince a handful of wild herbs according to your preference or a specific organ's need. Place them in a container and cover them with about one cup of cold water. Puree with a hand blender and pour through a sieve or strain. That's all there is to it - drink the green juice. In spring this is recommended as an alkaline tonic - a drink full of vitality! The amount of protein According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a clinically relevant protein deficiency begins at about 30–35 g or less per day. The Dutch Professor Oomen followed up on this assertion and found a tribe of natives in New Guinea who live exclusively from sweet potatoes. They eat practically no meat. According to CM, with their 9–24 grams of protein per day, this tribe should suffer from chronic protein deficiency. The people should also suffer from emaciated muscles, anemia or hunger swelling - but the opposite is the case. They are very energetic and downright muscular. He wanted to look into this discrepancy and discovered that anaerobic bacteria (clostridium) in these people‘s intestines produced proteins from carbohydrates with the help of ambient nitrogen. Vitamin B12, mainly found in animal food, is also produced by intestinal bacteria.27 Studies show that many people in our affluent Western society are “eating themselves to death“ by consuming an excess of meat. Too much animal protein is an unnecessarily burden on the body and over-acidifies it. This is particularly true in the case of pork from factory farming. Putting an end to our Western overconsumption of meat and protein would not only be good for all human beings, it would also be good for “Mother Nature.“ Raising livestock causes untold suffering, and besides, three-quarters of the original nutritional energy is lost during its detour through animals' digestive systems, which we euphemistically call a "refining process." 27 See Dr. Ralph Bircher, Geheimarchive der Ernährungslehre, p. 40–44, BircherBenner Verlag, Bad Homburg, 11th edition, 2007 66 Therapy We could easily give back the tremendous portion of the earth‘s surface which is now used for keeping and producing feed for livestock, if we could just give up eating so much meat. The amount of food In laboratory feeding tests with rats, it was determined that the ones who were always being fed sooner put on weight sooner, grew older faster and died earlier. When the rats always had a full food dish, they lived an average of 600 days. With fewer feedings, the rats were always a little hungry, but they lived an average of 900 days. These rats were a little smaller, but quicker, more intelligent, more curious, and more active than their well-fed contemporaries.28 The most vital people in the world are not those in the well-fed, rich Western countries, but those in the poor mountain areas of Asia. In any case, a simple lifestyle and meager diet doesn't appear to be harmful. The habits that are a necessity for these people can also be a virtue for us as well - and one that would increase our life expectancy. Effective Microorganisms (EM) EM were discovered by the Japanese agronomist and university professor Dr. Teruo Higa. EM are a mixture of lactic acid and photosynthesis bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. EM are used worldwide in agriculture and in the fields of the environment, industry, and health. Although ordinary EM are not permitted in foods and medications, they may be used internally as well. I personally use them for the regular freshening up of my bacteria and fungi reserves. When I do this, I take a regimen of one teaspoon of EM1 in a glass of water every day for a week. Homeopathy Classic homeopathy is a gentle method that can be used to sup28 See Dr. Ralph Bircher, Geheimarchive der Ernährungslehre, p. 40–44, BircherBenner Verlag, Bad Homburg, 11th edition, 2007 port patients through all the phases of an SBS. It's best when the therapist is skilled in both the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and the basics of homeopathy. I cannot recommend individual medications here, as my knowledge is not extensive enough and because they have to be exactly and individually matched to the phase and the condition of the patient. Massage may help in the conflict-active phase and in the repair phase: • Lymph drainage is a good method to use in the repair phase, especially when there is fluid retention (syndrome). • Classic massage, segmental massage, as well as foot and ear reflex-zones and acupuncture massages are suitable for both phases. • According to Chinese energetics, the corresponding meridian area shows a shortage of energy in the conflict-active phase. A shortage of energy demands an influx of energy. • Osteopathy: There are many different manual techniques associated with this term. The idea is to ease problems in the musculoskeletal system with various pressure, stretching, and movement stimulations - useful in the active and repair phases. • In classic and segmental massage, energy is applied in a pleasant way. Stroking, pressing, and dispersing, improve the body‘s metabolism and energy flow. Inner organs, which have been affected by an SBS, can be reached therapeutically by means of skin and muscle stimulations (cutivisceral reflex arcs) in the back. • With foot and ear reflex-zone treatments, we can supply the inner organs with energy and harmony. Massages do not affect the person‘s conflict on the psychic level directly, but the relaxation, being indulged, being touched, and gaining trust can bring about a change in attitude - a good basis for healing. Therapy - repair phase at the psyche level Dr. Hamer rightly criticized that therapy need not be carried out during the repair phase. Repair phases are times when the body 67 Therapy repairs and regenerates itself. To view repair phases as “illness“ and to try to treat it is a good indication of ignorance, a lack of knowledge of biological interrelationships = old medical paradigm. • What does make sense, however, is attending to the healing-phases - easing the symptoms, making the suffering bearable. • Provide courage and confidence. • Make clear to the patient that the conflict will be resolved and everything will be all right again. • Provide a "protective atmosphere" for the patient. In other words, protect them from the negative. Keep them away from new conflicts and avoid recurrences. • Guiding thoughts: “I am going to be completely well again!“ “I am at peace with everyone and everything.“ “I am looking forward to a new beginning.“ Therapy - repair phase at the brain level A Hamer Focus in the brain during the repair phase causes fluid retention. The Hamer Focus expands and displaces the surrounding areas of the brain. The brain itself has no receptors for pain; however, the cerebral membrane (meninges) does. > Headaches are caused by the pressure on the meninges. In severe cases, it is advisable to reduce the pressure on the brain; this can be decisive as to whether the patient will survive the repair phase or not. Measures to be taken • Any kidney collecting tubules SBS (syndrome), if active, should be resolved as quickly as possible (see p. 230ff). • Cooling the head (cold showers, cold wraps, bags of ice). • Take a walk in the cold air. • Protect the head from sun and heat. • Take organic dextrose (“quick energy“), possibly maltodextrine 19, a water soluble carbohydrate mixture (longer lasting) at short intervals, especially at night (strongest vagotonia) - allow the dextrose to dissolve in your mouth. • With sympathicolytic substances such as vitamin C, coffee or black tea, the vagotonia can also be reduced (see below). • Ingest natural borax, dark beer (malt beer). • Full or partial baths with sea salt, 0.9% or more concentrated (the sea is our home). Fluids are removed from the body through the pressure of osmosis as well. • Head and facial lymph drainages. • Foot and head are opposite poles of the body that influence one another. This can be used therapeutically: Warming or stimulating the feet relieves the head energetically > walk barefoot, take hot foot baths, foot massages. • No salt infusions because salt binds water in the body. • No glucose infusions if intake is possible orally (sugar in the blood binds additional fluids). • Visualization: Starting from the head, energy flows over the spine into the legs and feet. My head becomes empty. My feet feel as though they are full of energy. Surround the head with blue light. • Colloidal silver or MMS as necessary. In extreme cases, cortisone (Prednisolone) to reduce the vagotonia. Therapy - repair phase at the body level Inflammation should only be hemmed if suffering makes it unavoidable. Intense inflammation = intense repair > fast recovery. Taking anti-inflammatory measures could prolong the repair phase. If the pain is too great or the fever climbs too high, one should take measures to stimulate sympathicotonia. Before reaching out for chemical substances I would use natural means. Natural healing has a treasure trove of remedies and methods for easing the repair phase symptoms (more details in the lexicon). Painkillers work by exciting the sympathetic nervous system - the pain of repair is reduced because the vagotonia is correspondingly reduced. Chemical stress stimulus pulls the organisms up from the vagotonic wave into sympathicotonia. In severe cases, we must seek the assistance of intensive care physicians and surgeons. Natural, general pain remedies • A reasonable amount of movement and activity. • Black tea, coffee. • Schüssler Salt No. 3 • Cold-hot treatments with emphasis on cold: cold-warm showers, “Kneipp“ treatments, cool bags, cold showers. • Hot spices, e.g.: pepper, chili, ginger, mustard, saffron. • Willow bark tea: Willow is an ancient pain remedy. The bark of young shoots contains salicin (natural aspirin) and tannins. • Teas made from peppermint, sage, thyme, arnica, wild daisies, celandine, pansies, or creeping thyme. • Use refreshing, stimulating essential oils topically - i.e., peppermint, eucalyptus, sage, thyme. • Cannabis. Lymph drainage works amazingly well and also eases pain. Rhythmically pumping hand motions improve lymph drainage and soothe the patient. From an energy perspective, lymph drainage has the effect of being relaxing (sedative), in other words, energy is reduced and inflammation is also reduced. 68 Medicines It is a good pain-relieving method, during repair phases in the musculoskeletal system (inflammations of the joints and after injuries, bruises, contusions, etc.). During repair phases in the head and facial areas (e.g., toothache, neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve) and in the repair phase of internal organs, a good lymph drainage treatment is followed by increased urination. Acupuncture, acupuncture massage, shiatsu, acupressure By using these methods, therapists work with the patient‘s meridian system. The main principle is: If there is too much energy at one point, it is taken away. If there is too little energy, it is added. For the Chinese people, we are healthy when all of our meridians are totally filled with energy. The healing-phases in the organs distinguish themselves by an abundance of energy (inflammation).Thus, somewhere else in the patient‘s meridian system there is an energy deficiency. The therapist tries with needle, stick, or finger pressure, to lead the energy from the inflamed area to the area with a deficit. Cod Liver Oil Without this home remedy (which has unfortunately fallen into oblivion), many people would not have survived the times of the great wars. Very helpful, particularly for emaciated (conflict-active, stressed) people. An ideal, cheap supply of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E can be found in a 1-2 tablespoons of cod liver oil daily. Oil pulling Put a tablespoon of cold-pressed sunflower seed oil into the mouth and swish it around the mouth and throat for about 10 minutes. Repeat this every morning on an empty stomach. Afterwards spit out the oil, which by this time will have taken on a milky-whitish color, as it is now loaded with toxins. You can do this for four weeks as a “cure“ or make it a oncea-week routine. Natural antibiotic recipe 700 ml (23 oz) vinegar, two tbsp ea. of chopped garlic, chopped onions, grated ginger, grated horseradish, tumeric powder and two freshly chopped chili peppers. Fill a glass jar with the ingredients, close and shake. Continue shaking occasionally for two weeks and then afterwards, press the contents through a sieve and strain. Dosage: up to a max. of 6 tablespoons daily. MMS (sodium chlorite NaClO2) by Jim Humble A controversial substance, which I appreciate regardless. A strong oxidizing agent (the opposite of antioxidants), which we can use as a sympatheticotonic. I consider it to be a good substitute for CM antibiotics. From the perspective of the New Medicine, it can be used as a “mild antibiotic“ for the attenuation of an intense repair phase. Please note: Before use, you must thoroughly inform yourself about the ingestion procedure (only recommended for adults). Due to its oxidative properties, I do not advocate long-term use. Petroleum Crude oil or petroleum (mixture of various hydrocarbons) is used in traditional medicine in Eastern Europe with success in treating various ailments. The mechanism of action is unclear, but you can risk a try. Because it is cheap and effective, it is discredited as outdated and toxic. (http://petroleum_de.lorincz-veger.hu) Medication from the perspective of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature Basically, it must be clear that everything in the body is there for a reason. Thus, we should think twice before making any chemical interventions. Medications can be roughly divided into two groups: • Stress-promoting medication (= sympathicolytic substances) like antibiotics, antirheumatics, cortisone, MMS and coffee. In this group, you'll find most of the CM medications. • Sedative medications (= vagotonics) like anticonvulsants, sleeping aids. Pain Medications Active ingredient: paracetamol/acetaminophen Trade names: Tylenol, Excedrin, store brands and can also be found in various cough and sinus medications, etc. Effect: analgesic, antipyretic. Good pain relief and not too many side effects. Recommended for the attenuation of healing-phases. The most recommended chemical painkiller - well-tolerated, central effect on the brain, no blood-thinning effect. However, for rheumatic complaints (bones, joints), it doesn't work as well as antirheumatic drugs. Active ingredient: acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) Trade names: Bayer, Bufferin, Excedrin and store brands, etc. Aspirin works well as an analgesic with few side effects (only harmful to the kidneys). From our point of view, the bloodthinning property of aspirin is not desirable in most cases. > Only conditionally recommended. Active ingredient: diclofenac - antirheumatic agent Trade names: Voltaren, Cataflam, Cambia, Zorvolex, etc. Effect: analgesic, anti-inflammatory 69 Medicines > Recommended for attenuation of bone and joint pain during intense repair phases. Active ingredient: ibuprofen - antirheumatic agent Trade names: Advil, Motrin, Medipren, Nuprin, etc. Effect: analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic. > Recommended for attenuation of bone and joint pain during intense healing-phases. Active ingredient: indomethacin - antirheumatic agent Trade names: Indocin, etc. Effect: analgesic, anti-inflammatory > Recommended for attenuation of bone and joint pain during intense healing-phases. Active ingredient: morphine - strong painkiller Trade names: Avinza, Astramorph, Duramorph, Kadian, etc. Strongest sympathicotonic. Morphine is addictive. It paralyzes the intestines by causing continuous tension; it will break the morale of the patient. Morphine is usually a one-way, dead-end street. It shocks the vegetative nervous system and instantly shrinks the Hamer Focus in the brain. If the next dose does not come on time, the Hamer Focus will swell up again even faster. This leads to a breaking off of the connections between brain and nerves (synapses). In CM, morphine has been used very generously, because cancer patients "should at least be spared the suffering." Thus, it has become the “euthanasia drug.“ Morphine, as an intravenous therapy, is often given without any sort of agreement from the patient or family members. > Always ask, “What exactly is in there?“ Even better: draw up a patient's decree (living will). > Morphine is not recommended in general. Morphine patch - active ingredient: fentanyl, buprenorphine If anyone still needs morphine, they should be given morphine patches with semi-synthetic opiates. These have fewer side effects than real morphine and so there still is a “way back“ (not a one-way street). Cortisone Cortisone effect: strong sympathicotonic - adrenocortical hormone. Menacing, strong repair phases can be attenuated rapidly with cortisone. Dr. Hamer recommends cortisone during very strong repair crises to better survive the critical period just after the repair phase crisis. During a syndrome, i.e., active kidney collecting tubules, cortisone is not to be recommended due to additional water retention (contraindicated). Cortisone can only be recommended in very severe cases, but use only for as short a period as possible. Antibiotics It only makes sense to take antibiotics when a healing-phase is too intense, a fever is too high or the pain is unbearable. They should only be taken as long as symptoms require. For example, if an infection of the middle ear has improved after taking antibiotics for two days, the patient should stop taking them at once. This approach is “strictly forbidden“ by CM due to the danger of “building up resistance.“ Their argument that the patient must “take the entire package in order to kill off all the bacteria,“ however, does not hold water: It is simply not possible to destroy a single strain or even all of them. If that were possible, we would be “clinically clean“ and “clinically dead.“ Antibiotics damage the genes and should only be used in exceptional cases. A gentle alternative: take colloidal silver or MMS (see p. 68). Anti-fungal drugs (Antimycotics) > Using these drugs internally is very damaging and corresponds to a small dose of chemotherapy. Anti-fungal medicines are not to be recommended! Anti-viral drugs > Not recommended because they are senseless and damaging. Antihypertensive Medications (Blood Pressure Drugs) Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, AT1 antagonists, calcium channel blockers, etc. According to CM, hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Up until 2008, a blood pressure of 100 + age was considered normal. This prompted the WHO to suddenly fix the limit at 140. Since then, anything above that is now “treated.“ High blood pressure is no risk for the heart, blood vessels, or the brain. Blood pressure medicines have significant side effects and are not recommended for prolonged use. Only in exceptional circumstances is this sensible and only for a short time (see also p. 65). Water pills (diuretics) Only recommended if you have previously done everything to resolve the kidney collecting tubules conflict (see p. 266ff). Cholesterol reducing medications Not to be recommended due to their basic uselessness and strong side effects (see p. 43f). Anticoagulants Active ingredient: apaxiban - trade name: Eliquis Active ingredient: warfarin - trade name: Coumadin > The effects are similar to slight, continuous poisoning. 70 Medicines Coumarins (Coumadin, etc.) are also used as rat poison. It is only useful a few weeks after pulmonary embolism or thrombosis. It is not recommended as a long term medication. Psycho-pharmaceuticals Certainly there are exceptional cases, in which sleeping pills, anti-depressants and tranquilizers, make therapeutic sense, i.e., to avert something worse. > They are not to be recommended in general, because of their ineffectiveness, the danger of addiction, their personality-altering effects and severe side effects. Chemotherapy (cytotoxics) Dr. Ulrich Abel of the German Cancer Research Institute in Heidelberg: “In the future, the dominance of chemotherapy research could turn out to be one of the most far-reaching aberrations in the clinical battle against cancer.“32 Radiation therapy Because of its harmfulness, it is generally not recommended. It is recommended only in very rare cases, when a surgery is impossible because of inaccessible tumor location or if you can‘t calm down an extremely intense repair phase. For example, in 32 Ulrich Abel: Chemotherapy of advanced carcinomas. A critical survey. 2nd updated edition, Stuttgart: Hippokrates Verlag, 1995. ISBN: 3-7773-1167-7 an extreme bone repair phase in the spinal canal. Hormonal contraception (“the pill“) The pill makes the woman hormonally masculine. Due to this, she switches over to the right, “masculine“ side of the brain (except in the cases of left-handed women or those who are already configured in this way). Shift of the active side of the brain (lateralization) produces “masculinization“ as a result of the contraceptive effect. From the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, the pill is to be rejected, because it turns the normal brain relationship upside down. Conflicts can be activated or resolved by taking or stopping the pill (= “Russian roulette“). The pill increases the risk of cardiac infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, and much more. All other methods of contraception are better. Vaccinations and Inoculations Even without the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, there is much to be said against vaccinations: • There is no proof that they are effective. • They go against the basic principle of medicine: “Above all, do no harm.“ • Poisoning with aluminium hydroxide, the mercury alloy (thimerosal), formaldehyde, phenol, and recently also nanoparticles and many more. The result: increasing rates of physical deformities, sterility, children with "Attention Deficit Syndrome" (ADS), allergies, mental deficiencies, and much more. The case for vaccinations is made by fear. Fear can only arise in combination with ignorance. Our knowledge of the 4th Biological Law of Nature, which says that fungi, bacteria, and viruses (globulins), are our symbionts and “friends,“ liberates us from fear. Recognizing this is simple: If there are no invaders from whom we must protect ourselves, then we no longer need inoculations. We can also safely abstain from many “hygienic precautions“ of modern, everyday life. What remains of the term “immune system,“ when the enemies out there are not even there at all? Just a term from the old school of medicine. The biological reality of the situation is that there is a kind of “garbage collection system“ for the disposal of toxins, waste products, and dead cells. Responsible for this task are the lymph nodes and vessels, the kidneys, liver, and spleen. Summary: Vaccinations - regardless against what - are not only useless, due to their ineffectiveness, but also harmful due to poisonous side effects and the traumatic vaccination process itself (patient's fear, e.g., holding on > motor conflict). 71 Frequently asked questions FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why do we get sick more often in winter? 1. Winter vagotonia: Nature/every living organism pulsates rhythmically between tension (sympathicotonia) and relaxation (parasympathicotonia/vagotonia). By nature, the day phases (sunrise to sunset) and the summer half of the year (21 Mar – 22 Sep) are intended for activity, creative energy and the urge to explore. The night phases (sunset to sunrise) and the winter half of the year (23 Sep – 20 Mar) are for relaxation, regeneration and returning home. During the summer, sympathicotonia predominates, in winter, vagotonia. According to nature, longer healing phases are intended for the winter half of the year – time is too valuable in the summer for this. Therefore, the “vagotonia tailwind” in the fall marks the beginning of the healing or repair phases for various SBSs. See the illustration on p. 71. (A finding of the Neuen Gemeinschaft von Philosophen (New Community of Philosophers)). 2. Colds are caused by cold: “You’ve caught a chill,” is not entirely wrong from our perspective, because cold is a track for many of us: A baby/child who is abandoned will often freeze to death (= conflict + sensitivity to cold). For this reason, the cold track is permanently installed in us. Situations in which someone freezes are more common during the winter. When it gets warmer, we experience conflict resolution = colds/runny noses, etc. Additionally, this cold track is often passed down from “well-meaning” parents to their children: “Put on a cap or you’ll freeze!” To heal: “I recognize that I used to freeze and, with this, I deprogram this track. I will spare my children this unnecessary nonsense.” Phases of the Moon: Liquids pulsate to the rhythm of the moon: For Mother Earth, it’s the oceans (high and low tide), for people and animals it’s the lymphatic system and other fluids. Waxing moon = sympathetic phase. Full moon = highest point of sympathicotonia/healing crisis. Waning moon = vagotonia phase. New moon = highest point of vagotonia. Weather – for meteorologists and weather-sensitive people: Even the weather pulses between sympathicotonia and parasympathicotonia. The high pressure systems correspond to sympathicotonia and the low pressure systems the vagotonia. Figuratively, God sends us clouds and rain to return home and relax, the sun to be active. Here lies the cause for our so-called weather sensitivity too: The low pressure system/bad weather ends a sympathetic phase of nice weather – it begins a phase of parasympathetic repair. Result: Various repair phase symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, joint pain and many more. Why is the average life expectancy always getting longer at our latitudes? At the end of the 19th century, babies born in Germany could expect a life on Earth of 48 years. Today they can expect 88. The medical establishment likes to take all the credit for this. Is this really a medical achievement? Here are the reasons: • Long periods of peace (nobody is dying young in wars). • Increasing standard of living, better hygiene: At the end of the 19th century, we installed drinking water and sewer systems in our big cities, and this had dramatic effects, e.g. reducing typhus and cholera. • Lower infant mortality through impeccably hygienic maternity wards equipped with intensive care facilities – almost every newborn baby (and mother) survives. • Improved working conditions: limits on working hours, improved safety and protective measures (e.g. for working in toxic, dusty or physically dangerous conditions). • Healthier living conditions: warm, dry and clean apartments, access to sufficient and variable foods rich in vitamins and minerals, etc. Spring equinox 21st of March (moon phase: first quarter) strong sympathicotonia Summer solstice 21st of June (moon phase: full moon) Spring equinox 21st of March (moon phase: first quarter) strong vagotonia winter solstice 21st of December (moon phase: new moon) Autumnal equinox 23rd of September (moon phase: last quarter) 72 Frequently asked questions • Improved social welfare: Earlier, caring for the elderly and disabled wasn’t taken for granted. • Better medicine: Yes, modern medicine has also played a role in increasing life expectancies. Emergency medical treatment for accidents and acute symptoms has achieved great things. Can the 5 Biological Laws of Nature Lead to Longer Life? Can we use this knowledge to avoid illnesses and remain healthy? • Yes, because we have recognized that psychic well-being and harmony is the basis for health. With this in mind, we will pay attention to what is good for us and what is not. We will free ourselves from the compulsions, expectations and norms and, as far as possible, live a self-determined life. • Yes, if we have recognized which conflicts and conflict triggers are making us ill and make concrete changes accordingly. It is quite simple if we change our lives and no longer produce our own stress. • Yes, because thanks to our knowledge, we will hardly suffer diagnosis and prognosis shocks and take a detour around damaging therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, vaccinations and pointless surgeries. Statements like: “You have a metastases in the liver!“ or “Enjoy your life while you can, because we cannot do anything more for you!“ may possibly worry us, but should not send us into a panic. • No, because nobody among us is completely immune to biological conflicts. The unexpected is simply unexpected. Remaining calm is surely a good attitude in life, but it‘s hard to remain calm when it comes to our “weak spots,“ the very things in life, with which we identify ourselves with and hold dear. For example: If somebody, to whom we have no special relationship dies, we can stay calm. However, if our own child dies, we can no longer stay calm. A car lover whose car was stolen cannot remain calm, nor can an athlete who loses a championship title when they were the “favorite.“ • The expectations of this “New Medicine“ are simply too high in some people. Dr. Hamer claiming a “98% New Medicine chance of survival“ was completely illusory and unrealistic in the present system. I have seen countless people die in CM treatment, but I have also seen many people die, who did everything right when they were sick from my point of view. The 5 Biological Laws of Nature cannot guarantee survival. Rather, we live and die “within“ the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Now, we can understand health and sickness in most people, but often, we have no other choice but to “understand“ that a human being will die. For instance, when the conflict mass was too great and/or the conflict kept recurring. Death is not a disorder, it is as much a part of life as birth. Unfortunately, this is being measured by a double standard: When a single person dies practicing New Medicine, all hell breaks loose: “He could be alive today, if he hadn‘t believed that nonsense!“ For the thousands that die every hour in CM’s care, we hear: “We did our best but they couldn‘t be saved!“ The fact is, we all die one day and we should reflect on the concept that our lifespan, at least from a spiritual point of view, is at least in part, predetermined. When the bell tolls, no medicine will help: not this one, not that one. That‘s right, nothing will help, for when fate wants us, for whatever reason, our incarnation will come to an end. Of course, we can shorten this span through our own mistakes, e.g., disregarding spiritual, biological and physical laws, recklessness, selfindulgence, destructive thoughts and actions, etc. Why Is the New Medicine Often Rejected? New discoveries that question the fundamental tenets of old scientific disciplines have never had it easy. 200 years ago, when the controversial Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis demanded that doctors delivering babies observe strict hygiene measures, he made so many enemies that he ended up in an insane asylum. Today, we sing his praises. The discoveries of the no-less-controversial Dr. Hamer are even more fundamental, so much so, that they bring the whole materialism-based medical worldview into question. People say that had Semmelweis would have achieved more had he only been more diplomatic. This goes even more so for Dr. Hamer, who had to fight on all fronts simultaneously – even politically. The main criticism: He advised patients against undergoing necessary, conventional medical procedures. This is justified. In his books, he painted orthodox medicine in such a bad light that many of his patients’ greatest fear became having anything to do with an allopathic doctor, even if this was urgent and necessary. Furthermore, Dr. Hamer opened himself up to criticism by making overly optimistic prognoses (“98-99% chances for survival … ”) This is where the media always attack him, incentivized by the world’s top revenue-generating economic sector, the pharmaceutical industry. Unfortunately, any discussions based on the science of GNM have remained completely absent. (“Fringe medicine and pseudo-science” is all that the average person ever hears about the 5 Biological Laws of Nature). 73 Frequently asked questions Is the New Medicine Risky? Yes, if you are considering it as an either-or situation is cases of serious illnesses. I.e. you are excluding conventional medicine from the outset. Conventional measures/procedures are often necessary to save lives. The recognition and resolution of the cause of disease with the help of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature does not stand in opposition to established medicine. A logical combination of all medical disciplines according to sound common sense would be the best way to proceed. The patient should accept responsibility for their therapeutic decisions. How do I find a therapist/doctor who practices the New Medicine? Many therapists/doctors are aware of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Few employ them... and almost none will admit they do publicly. The result is that it is difficult to find someone. Why do these therapists practice it secretly? Doctors will (presently) have their license to practice medicine revoked if they publicly admit that they practice medicine according to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. The current system doesn’t even give naturopaths and energetic healers much more freedom. So, you have to ask around among those “in the know.” If it’s any consolation, you don’t always necessarily need a therapist. Are Medical Check-Ups Useful? According to a 30-year study involving 251,891 people, general health checks for healthy people have no influence on a person’s life expectancy. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/30699470) “Nothing but expenses?” – From our perspective, medical checkups may carry a very high risk. A recent event: A healthy 49-year-old woman went for her medical check-up. Via ultrasound, they found a cold lump in her right thyroid gland. Scintigraphy and a biopsy followed: “Suspicion of malignancy.” Even though her thyroid gland values T3, T4, TSH were completely normal and the patient didn’t have the slightest symptoms, she was given a surgical appointment. The “follow-up therapy” will be determined afterwards ... > From one day to the next, a healthy woman was turned into a cancer patient. The diagnostic shock may have caused subsequent conflicts. What many don’t consider: Patients with top-notch insurance are even more welcome in the “system” than those with normal insurance. The late Austrian MD Roithinger: “Health checks are the last chance they have to bring a healthy person into the health care system.” In this context he also spoke in terms of “dragnet investigations.” Is Chemotherapy Always Bad? Most of the time, chemo does more harm than good. Sometimes, however, taking the poison does make sense, because chemo/radiation can often reduce the size of inoperable/large tumors significantly - that is a fact. Chemo is more helpful for people who believe in it. People who have a deep-seated belief in it or who see it as their best chance should take this route. The belief that it will make you better can actually lead to someone getting better. The worst thing you can do is to accept chemo if you are NOT totally convinced it will work. This is why you should lovingly accompany anyone you know who is enduring this torture instead of constantly sowing them full of doubts. How Do I Find a Surgeon? The most urgent problem at present: Someone has a large tumor that must be surgically removed, but can’t find anyone who will do it. Why? Every doctor is required to work according to the “lege artis” or state of the art. These rules are based on WHO recommendations and so-called protocols that prescribe in detail how a doctor should proceed with any given disease. Every doctor must adhere to this if they want to keep their medical license. Experienced 100 times in this way: A woman wants to have a breast lump, 4 cm in diameter, surgically removed (which is normally not a difficult thing to do). • She goes in the clinic and expresses her request. • Their protocol stipulates that a diagnosis must be made before each treatment. I.e. the woman must undergo an ultrasound, CT/MRI, blood tests, possibly scintigraphy (to exclude “metastases”) and a biopsy. • The protocol dictates that you have to undergo chemo before surgery. • Then, a date for discussing the test results is scheduled. Let us assume that, fortunately, no “metastases” were detected, but the tumor was classified as “malignant” (also because of its size). The doctor: “First, we have to start with chemotherapy.” The woman, “But I only want to have the lump removed.” The doctor, “I’m sorry, we have to follow our standard procedures.” • The woman thinks to herself, “I’ll look somewhere else and see if I can find someone who will perform the operation.” • Unfortunately, she doesn’t find anyone else. That the poor woman is now utterly miserable is of no interest to anyone. Moreover, she has probably also suffered subsequent conflicts throughout the course of her ordeal. Nobody in these clinics understands the effects of diagnosis shocks. It is also hard to believe that the woman, who has faithfully paid her health insurance premiums for decades, is now denied the cheapest option (surgery only). Summary: With a little luck and some charm, you might find a surgeon who doesn’t follow all the rules to the letter. Do Operations Stop the Self-Healing Process? Yes, this is sometimes the case. Still, let’s be realistic: What help is the “self-healing process” when problems (tumors) get bigger instead of smaller. Operations are often the best option, but sometimes they aren’t – this is something that needs to be determined with sound judgement on a case-by-case basis. Some people who are very spiritu- 74 Frequently asked questions ally oriented or understand the New Medicine will resist getting an operation, because they interpret this as a sign of their own failure. This is false ambition and dangerous nonsense, because every individual incarnated on Earth has their own faults and weaknesses. Is it possible that the operation may have a deeper meaning for me? Is it possible that my fate is leading me to a person who is important to me? Maybe an interesting near-death experience is waiting for me? Perhaps we may learn how to accept help? What Should Be Considered Before Operations? Whether an operation is successful or not depends not only on the surgeon, but also on our attitude Thoughts and preconceptions have, as we know, the propensity to manifest themselves – We should also be aware of this when it comes to surgical procedures. Once you have decided to have an operation and were possibly even able to choose the doctor, you should proceed with a feeling of complete confidence and calm. Typical symptoms resulting from non-acceptance of a surgery are keloids (see p. 337) and postoperative inflammation (see hospital germs p. 90). > “I have complete and total trust in the surgeon and their team and will remain calm. I humbly ask for support and blessings, for me and anyone else this may effect.” Preparing your body Operations are more successful when the area to be operated on is as free of inflammation as possible on the day of the procedure. For this reason, you should, e.g. take it easy on swollen joints and possibly ice them a few days in advance. An alkalinerich diet (mainly fruit and vegetables) is also beneficial. The timing In emergencies, there is no time for discussions. For operations planned in advance, it is better to schedule them for when the moon is waning. Do the Laws of Nature Help in Relationships? In our daily practice, we see that a large part of biological conflicts involve, directly or indirectly, problems between men and women. This leads us to conclude that if there were more harmony in our relationships and marriages, many of our conflicts wouldn’t even arise in the first place. There is certainly no panacea. However, if we learn to understand the fundamental differences between men and women and learn to adapt ourselves to this reality, it will be easier. Family therapist, John Gray has written a much-to-be-recommended book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, which every new couple should read. What Is the Significance of Radiation? Radioactive radiation This is a poison that damages molecules and cells. At high doses, it “burns“ the body. Lower doses have the effect that many body cells must be exchanged or replaced during the repair phase. When blood or bone marrow cells are destroyed, the body responds by increasing the rate of cell reproduction. We then find many unripe, enlarged blood cells in the blood, which can lead to a CM diagnosis of leukemia, which is principally a repair measure (see p. 135f). Electromagnetic radiation (cell phones, electricity, radio waves) In recent decades, the earth‘s natural electromagnetic information field has been superimposed with countless technologically produced electromagnetic fields. The negative effects of this “wave chaos“ on man, animal, and plants, are being deliberately played down by the mass media. Added to that is radiation inside and outside the house, for example from Wi-Fi (WLAN) routers, clock-radios, TVs in the bedroom, microwave ovens, fluorescent lights, LED lamps, cordless telephones and other devices, transmitters, military communications, atmospheric projects like HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) and EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association) and others. (These are very powerful transmitting sites in Alaska and Norway, respectively. This is an attempt to influence the ionosphere. Both projects have been linked to earthquakes and weather abnormalities.) Such electro-smog “poisoning“ that we are all exposed to - some more, some less - falls outside the scope of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. What this means is that often, illness is not caused by the psyche, but by radioactive contamination. Hartmut Müller has proven that it would be possible to forgo mobile communications: By coupling into Earth’s natural energy field he was able to transmit information and energy without friction loss and without artificial fields (See www.global-scaling-institute.de). 75 Frequently asked questions Earth rays and water veins Are earth rays as powerful and water veins as harmful as some people say? Are they not part of Mother Earth? The fact is: every geographic location has certain characteristics and effects on living organisms. Some places suit some people but not others. It is known, for example that ants, bees and cats, “look for“ earth energies, while dogs, pigs, and horses, avoid them. Human beings are also said to avoid them. Along with earth rays, there are also grid networks like the Curry and Hartmann grids. Also, there are places that are “haunted” (e.g., old dungeons) or “holy“ (e.g., Lourdes) based on their history. There is really a lot more than meets the eye. One thing is certain: The most dangerous things are the things we are convinced will hurt us. If we address the issues as calmly as possible, then we will get a sense of which places are good for us (e.g., where we sleep well) and which are not. Is Sport/Exercise Really So Healthy? As a former competitive athlete, I see sport through different eyes: Sport is only good for you if you do it for the joy of movement. Competitive thinking is damaging, because it is bound to lead to conflicts. This applies both for children and older athletes. Whether or not competition is controversial is only of secondary importance if one‘s inner attitude has been formed by false ambition. However, and without a doubt, sport in moderation is good for us for so many reasons, including: having fun, promoting team spirit, improving energy flow, compensating for the lack of movement in our civilized (sedentary) lives, working off stress (breaking down sugar), connecting with nature and for our own bodies (grounding), strengthening self worth, etc. My friend, Adi Sandner, has been studying the 2nd Biological Law for years: He discovered that the so-called “training effect” also represents the two-phase process: The stress of training represents the sympathicotonic first phase. In the training pauses, the parasympathicotonic second phase repairs and strengthens the body. This rhythm leads to increased performance (overcompensation and sore muscles when you overdo it). Summary: In our latitudes, we aren’t active enough. Especially in the second half of our lives, regular exercise/gymnastics/ yoga is essential for staying healthy and active. Why Are the “Male” and “Female” Hemispheres of the Brain Reversed in the New Medicine? The so-called “hemisphere model,” in which the left hemisphere of the brain is supposed to be the male (analytical) and the right hemisphere the female (intuitive), goes back to the physician Roger W. Sperry (1913-1994). In 16 epilepsy patients, he severed the connection between the two halves of the brain (the so-called corpus callosum) and noticed subtle changes in the subjects’ nature: Some could speak without restrictions, but suffered from limited perception. Others could recognize their environment, but could no longer describe it correctly. Although Sperry said that we shouldn’t generalize his idea, this is exactly what happened: Without any further inquiry, one pseudo-scientist has copied the next for the last 50 years. In refuting the theory of the hemisphere model, conventional medicine has made an exception by being correct in this assertion. Conventional medicine currently states that both halves of the brain constantly interact, so a division into male and female is impossible. Dr. Hamer knew about the hemisphere model, but didn’t bother with it (that’s just how he was). As befits a scientist, he was guided by practical experience (empiricism). By studying thousands of patients’ cases and CT scans, he found out which brain regions control which organs. The result: In the LEFT hemisphere of the cerebral cortex, we find the female organs such as the cervical mucosa and Broca and Wernicke’s areas. This half can be stimulated/opened by the administration of female hormones (estrogens). In the RIGHT hemisphere of the cerebral cortex, we find the male organs such as the seminal vesicle mucosa. This side can be stimulated/opened by the administration of male hormones (testosterone). What Does New Medicine Interpret the Theory of Evolution? Regarding the origin of life, there are two basic theories: The creation theory, which I personally believe in, and the evolution theory. In the 1980s, the evolutionary biologists were sure that they had found the “missing link“ (the missing form of life between apes and human beings or, in a broader sense, between all forms of life). Thirty years later, they have not come a step further. Even worse, between similar species, not a single transitional form has been found, although the search continues uninterrupted. “From the amoeba to Shakespeare“ (= macroevolution) is evidently mistaken. The facts (fossils) say clearly that no evolution crosses the borders of the given species and that there are only varying characteristics within a species caused by adaptation (= microevolution). Undeniably, however, is that we are composed of “building blocks“ (programs and special programs) of the animal kingdom, which is attested to by i.e., the different embryonic stages. To this, Ivita Blömer provides in her book, Crazy Truths, extremely valuable information by the clairvoyants Svetlana and Nikolay Levashov: In a fixed order, different animal beings “visit” the 76 Frequently asked questions embryo. This round starts one month after fertilization when the cells are grown to approximately 5 mm. First, a fish-essence comes and forms fishlike structures (e.g., gill arches). In the second month, an amphibious entity settles in - now amphibious structures are formed (e.g., webbed extremities). In the third month a reptile essence comes and in the fourth month, one of a mammal. Only in the fifth month of development, does the etheric body of a human enter the embryo - the actual incarnation starts. Up to this point, according Blömer, a quality barrier between essence and embryo biomass existed. The human soul must basically wait “on hold“ until the foreman (animal entities) have prepared everything. Biology confirms the chronology: From the sixth month of development, the rudiments, such as the animal-tail, regress. Now the embryo develops, until birth, into the kind of individual, human, etheric body it is going to be. Mrs. Ivita Blömer points out that the birthing process is the easiest and most painless in the sitting, squatting, or kneeling positions (gravity helps). The conventional supine position today is actually the worst position. What Do You Think of “Hereditary Diseases”? In CM, it has been thought that faulty genes are due to certain “illnesses“ and that the genetic substance remain unchanged during one‘s entire life. This belief is beginning to falter, largely due to the work of the New York cell biologist Bruce Lipton: He has discovered that a human being is determined less by its genes than by its environment. Genes are subject to the influences of the environment and can mutate. Only its basic constituents remain unchanged. His knowledge of the cell membrane has made him a pioneer in the so-called field of epigenetics. The link, according to Dr. Hamer, is simple. Longer lasting conflicts can, of course, change the genetic substance as can conflict resolution. In this way, an individual‘s genes are constantly changing (being modified/updated) to meet life‘s demands. Why do we find a preponderance of certain illnesses in certain families? According to the law of attraction (resonance), like attracts like. Thus, mother and father attract a similar child-soul, which relates to their characters. > A daughter, whose psychic landscape is akin to her mother‘s, has genes similar to hers and perceives similar conflicts > the similar perceptions lead to similar SBSs. Furthermore, from the beginning of pregnancy, the child senses every feeling of its mother (and father) > this basic pattern of thought and feeling is internalized and adopted > it develops into a body much like the parents‘, just as its immortal soul is similar to the parents’. It is clear that having the same foundation, the new organism will have similar conflicts and illnesses. However, we are only partly subject to this fate, for in principle, we can leave these limitations behind us at any time. There are no incurable (hereditary) diseases, but only incurable (rigid) people. Does Spirituality Protect Us from Conflicts? Let‘s imagine a person who remains calm, regardless of what happens to them. No dreadful event, be it loss, attack, separation or death can move them. A person full of love, in total harmony with themselves, their environment, united with all, free from dependencies, free from shocks and from illness. It may sound unrealistic, but we must recognize that there are people, who have come close to this ideal through spiritual development. What I want to say with this is: let’s not get carried away. The special biological programs discovered by Dr. Hamer are, if you will, “animal-biological“ survival programs. We need to obey the “laws of the jungle“ only if we are tangled up in the perceptions of chunk, attack, defence, fear and territorial conflicts. However, we are not animals. While it is true that we live in animal bodies, we differ from animals in that each of us has an individual, immortal soul. Unlike plants and animals, we can make mistakes, reflect upon our actions and are capable of self-recognition. With our primitive, animal biology, we navigate amongst conflicts and diseases within the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Through spiritual development, that is, by maturation and refinement of character, by loving thoughts and deeds and by dissolving dependencies, our spiritual nature can flourish. Not overnight, but at least within several incarnations. By gradually decoupling ourselves from our animal instincts and urges, biological conflicts no longer affect us so strongly. However, if we are caught in its orbit (conflict), we must solve the conflict at the corresponding biological level. If we speak with admiration today of the exemplary and harmonious life of 77 Frequently asked questions the Native Americans or other aboriginal cultures, we should not forget that the lives of these peoples were not only biologically natural but also marked by deep spirituality. When one expands the scope of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature too far, they risk succumbing to a “evolutionary-theory-justified materialism,“ of believing that “might makes right” in property and territorial thinking. Such an attitude prevents spiritual development. As happy as we can consider ourselves in our knowledge of what causes disease, we should not forget about the most important questions in life: Who am I? What is the meaning of my life? Where do I come from? Where am I going? The spiritual and energy healers among the readers will forgive me that their methods were glossed over in this book. My intention was to elaborate on health and illness from a psyche-biological view, on the connections between the body and psyche. That things are possible for the creative spirit, which by far exceed our current horizons, is clearly evident to me. That we have infinitely more to learn is also clear. One needs only to think about the healing of broken bones within minutes, as practiced by the aborigines or of the countless spiritual healings by the Brazilian, Joao de Deus. Nevertheless, I think that it is good to start with a solid knowledge of biology and from there, embrace the spiritual levels. I am convinced: The basis of every intentionally healing is the connection with God and the acknowledgement of this connection, for we have always been bound to God since the beginning of time, just as a child is and was always will be bound to its parents. What Role Do Ethereal Beings Play? A touchy subject, because many might regard this as pure rubbish and not even a pseudoscience. In my own experience, I have no doubt that behind the material plane, subtle levels and beings exist, which can have a significant impact on our lives and our health. The senses of children and animals, such as dogs and cats, are often open to these worlds. Among us “civilized adults,“ only a few can, while awake, feel or see deceased souls, angels, ghosts, fairies, or gnomes. One of these is the Swiss architect Anton Styger. According to his descriptions, there is lively activity and a sheer unfathomable variety of different beings in the ethereal world. This all has intense interrelationships to plants, animals, and human beings. Styger has been asked by psychologically and physically disturbed people to take a look at what is going on with them or their houses. While doing so he finds, for example: • People who are being bothered or occupied by dead relatives. • Children who can not sleep and are afraid, because deceased former residents move around. • People who created demons by negative thinking and with which they can‘t cope anymore. • Cows who are being mistreated by the deceased and become sick because of it. • People who are no longer happy on their property, because they have incurred the hatred of earth spirits, etc. The difficulties with these phenomena are, firstly, being able to recognize what is going on and secondly, taking the right steps. Anton Styger is praying with the persons concerned and addresses the troublemakers directly. He explains the situation to them and then sends them to the light. He always asks his angels and guardian spirits for help. His reports show how important a loving coexistence and the respectful treatment of all living things is. I am convinced: Conflict events, family forces, influences from subtle beings and everything else that happens to us in our lives always „fits in“ with our personal destiny. The law of cause and effect functions like clockwork. Everything that occurs in our lives only happens for one reason: So that we may learn from it and develop our spirit and soul! A GOOD START IN LIFE As briefly as possible, the most important things for a good beginning to the incarnation:15 15 In reference to Werner Hanne’s work “Die Entwicklung des Kindes – was spielt sich da ab?” (The Development of the Child - What Is Going on There?). Free copy or download at: www. die-entwicklung-des-kindes.de, www.free-new-medicine.com. Say yes to life Sometimes a child is planned, sometimes not. Either way: When we find out, it’s very important that we say yes to life: “Little one, you are welcome! I trust that your coming is the best thing for me/us.” After treating thousands of patients, I’m sure: The deepest worries in people (and cause for later illnesses) is the impression that they were not wanted. It takes a heroic achievement in mental development to transform this initial rejection. The decision also weighs heavily on the other side: The sting of an abortion remains with every woman for the rest of her life. Love, love, love of God, of the child, of the partner, of life. This is the most important elixir of health. 78 Frequently asked questions No ultrasound or amniocentesis Both are harmful and common direct causes of illnesses. More on p. 32. No Caesarian section unless absolutely necessary. • The child itself decides on the right time for birth by releasing cortisone (sympathicotonic starting signal). If it is denied this codecision, a weakness in decision-making ability may result later. • The hormone oxytocin is only produced in sufficient quantities during a normal birth. As a result, there can be breastfeeding problems, a weak emotional attachment to the child, and a postpartum depression can occur in the mother. • A lack of microbial transmission: During the passage through the birth canal, the child is covered with a film of bacteria, which it also swallows (see the 4th Law of Nature). Let the umbilical cord pulsate out • After birth the child breathes doubly: First via the umbilical cord, then, only minutes later, does it begin to draw in air through its nose. For this reason, you should wait at least 30 minutes before cutting the umbilical cord. In normal maternity wards it is cut immediately: Sensing its own death by suffocation, the newborn baby is forced to breathe while it’s screaming. • 1/3 of the blood is still in the placenta at the time of birth. If you cut the cord immediately, this blood can no longer be make its way into the child’s circulatory system. (In an adult, this would correspond with the loss of 1-2 liters (1-2 pints) of blood). Nature glues/closes the umbilical cord from the inside and lets it turn white when the blood is transferred and breathing is stable. No injections after birth (vitamin K1) Immediately after birth, a little person is injected with 1000 times the normal amount of vitamin K1 without being asked. Standard argument: It stimulates blood clotting. Why don’t we trust the natural composition of the blood? No unnecessary examinations after birth Groping by strangers, injections and drawing blood disturb the relationship of trust between mother and child: “Mommy, why aren’t you protecting me?” Restraint with neonatal jaundice In about 50% of children born in clinics, the eyes or skin turn yellowish – this is referred to as neonatal jaundice (icterus). The benefit of the so-called “UV light therapy” is questionable. From our perspective, the long hours the baby is separated from its mother for radiative treatment are unfavorable. See also p. 254 and the chapter on skin p. 318. Vaccinations – no thanks There is too much to this topic to go into detail here. From my point of view, vaccination can be considered as a form of assault. Vaccine injuries are very rarely accepted as such by the medical establishment and the protection they allegedly offer has not been adequately proven. Why do unvaccinated children tend to be healthier? See also p. 75. Wear your baby using a sling Baby slings are a good thing and are normal in many cultures. They strengthen the bond between mother and child. The child’s upper body should be facing the carrier. Strollers – it’s a question of direction The child shouldn’t be facing forward; they should be able to look back at their caregiver. Why? Test it yourself: Sit down in a wheelbarrow and let someone push you along a busy street facing the oncoming traffic … The little one’s crib – not too soon Among indigenous peoples, a crib doesn’t even enter into the equation. No animal mother leaves her little one(s) alone at night. By sleeping together, physical contact lost during the day can be made up for at night. Daycare – no thank you The first years determine the rest of someone’s life! Have we forgotten this? One-year-olds are delivered to daycare in the morning like living packages and then picked up in the afternoon. This drastic separation experience is often the first step toward illnesses. Typical for when the child is given away too early are the illnesses toddlers often experience at the beginning of vacations or on weekends (see the two-phased process p. 13): “Mommy and daddy are back.” Preschool – when they’re ready Essentially, the aforementioned applies, but we have to keep in mind that different children have very different needs: Some dare to go out into the world very quickly and like contact with other children. For others, this step is still too early. Here, we can’t lump all children into one group. With regard to daycare, mandatory preschool/kindergarten and all-day elementary school (half-day elementary school until 4th grade is still the norm in the German-speaking world), we must note that in totalitarian regimes, they have always tried to get children into their custody as early as possible. This is the bloodless way they mold unique individuals into “system sheep” so they can keep them in line. 79 Lexicon of disorders Conclusion The New Medicine has emerged in these changing times in which we live, because spirit and psyche have once again become centers of our attention. Purely materialistic, reductionist thinking is “running out of steam,“ for it does not fit into the new era. The time of medical materialism is over. With the discovery of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, Dr. Hamer has placed the key to the understanding of health and disease and the key to therapy in our hand. Nobody needs to wait until “the men in the ivory towers“ say, “Yes, the 5 Biological Laws of Nature are correct!“ We do not need to wait until all the doctors have switched over. - No, our own health and that of our loved ones are too precious. We can begin to use the 5 Biological Laws of Nature right now. The rules are simple once they‘ve been understood. We don‘t need to know all the details - we can look them up as need be. Of course, this knowledge brings with it a responsibility: not letting others literally “die of ignorance.“ In my experience, one is most successful when one offers help discreetly. I also learned that some people will never be ready for this information at any time and now I can accept this wholeheartedly. With doctors, one has to speak more directly. After all, it is their duty to keep up with the latest advances in science. It is tragic, but not surprising, that at the present time, there are no surgeons, specialists nor clinics that work under our criteria. It is also dreadful that children are taken away from their parents if families want to follow this new path. This will probably not change until the 5 Biological Laws of Nature have been officially recognized. Now, with all of this information swirling around in our heads about conflict analyses, cell growth here and cell degradation there - we shouldn’t forget the most beneficial, the most important and easiest principle: Love heals all wounds. Let‘s practice the New Medicine with love, joy, compassion, and gratitude in union with God. Also, let this biological knowledge resonate with the tidings of spiritual teachers, the spiritual principles, and combine the essence of all religions. Let‘s build bridges to other therapeutic approaches - almost all have valuable insights to offer us. God bless us all. LEXICON OF “DISORDERS“ Important instructions for use: The lexicon is indexed according to the organs of the body, beginning with the nervous system and is ordered in the sequence normally used in professional medical literature. It is advisable to begin study starting on page 266 with the Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) of the kidney collecting-tubules (fluid collection in the body). This forms the “background music“ for many other “diseases“ and is often referred to elsewhere (key word: syndrome). For understanding diseases where muscles are involved (e.g., twitching eyelids), it is advisable to read the chapter beginning on page 362 first. For almost all diseases, I have given examples of typical conflicts. Those beginning with ➜ are typical conflict situations. Those beginning with a have been taken from real events. In a few cases, I have changed the patient‘s gender or other details for the sake of privacy. When printed in bold, the expressions “conflict-active,“ “repair phase“ or “repair phase crisis“ refer to the disease mentioned in the title. Please note that with recurring conflict, this classification is often inaccurate. > Always try to deduce for yourself, which phase the patient is experiencing. There are therapy suggestions for every conflict. For diseases in the repair phase, "therapy" means attending to the patient's recovery. The natural healing of tumors only works when they are small. > The description - conflict-active > repair phase > everything's better - only works with small tumors. Larger tumors have to be surgically removed/treated. (Nature will remove the individuals who can't find and implement solutions). When it comes to the remedies recommended and their applications, I concentrate on simplicity, nativeness (overwhelmingly domestic herbs) and cost effectiveness (hardly any readymade preparations). I have personal experience with most, but not all of these applications. It is my wish to connect the New Medicine with natural medicine and the good aspects of conventional medicine. The patient seeking help does not care what helps; the main thing they want is that it helps. For this, I will build bridges between disciplines. These bridges will be necessary until the separation of the medical disciplines is finally overcome. The growing consciousness within the community can already be felt everywhere. In my opinion, this is an evolutionary step toward the New Age and the New Medicine. 80 General Symptoms GENERAL SYMPTOMS High blood pressure (hypertonia, hypertension) What is high blood pressure? Up until a few years ago, what is now considered “at risk” was still considered perfectly healthy: Until 2008, a blood pressure of 100 + age was okay. Then, the World Health Organization arbitrarily set the borderline value at 140/90. Since then, countless people have been continuously sedated with medications. The consequences: fatigue and the loss of strength, vitality and libido. According to CM, high blood pressure is a risk factor for diseases of the heart and circulatory systems. This claim is both right and wrong. It is right, in so far as conflict-active persons with stress-related high blood pressure suffer more often from heart attacks, strokes, and similar illnesses. It is wrong because the guilt lies with the stress and not the high blood pressure. For instance, through territorial-loss conflicts or conflicts stemming from being overwhelmed or outsmarted with regard to the heart. Comparison: risk factor and oil pressure warning light. Assumption: cars with oil warning lights will have more engine damage than cars without an oil indicator light. - This is also both true and false. > High blood pressure is not a danger to the heart, blood vessels, or brain; however, stress certainly is (= conflicts or triggers). Possible causes • Medication, alcohol, and drugs: The rise in blood pressure is based on the sympathicotonic effect. Especially: cortisone, adrenaline, antibiotics, immune suppressants, chemotherapy, etc. • General sympathicotonia - active conflict: People, who are always “wired,“ and get upset about every little thing. Some are calm on the outside, but still tense on the inside. A lack of serenity = the most common cause of high blood pressure. The body is constantly in a state of alarm > narrowing of the blood vessels, tension in the skeletal muscles > high blood pressure. This is either linked to the situation (momentary stress) or longer lasting conflict activity due to one or more running, active conflicts (see p. 13). • Smooth vascular musculature: The most common type of high blood pressure in the active phase: constant tension of the vascular musculature. Stress conflict: one believes that they can only get through life with conflict and stress (see p. 168). • Right heart muscle (myocardium) - Conflict of being overwhelmed or outsmarted during the repair phase crisis: The left part of the heart must pump harder to compensate for the uncoordinated contractions of the right part of the heart > compensatory rise in blood pressure. Comes in sudden attacks (paroxysmal), usually occurring during a resting state (e.g., evenings on the couch). Possibly breathing difficulties due to involvement of the diaphragm (see p. 150ff). • Kidney parenchyma in the active-phase or during persistent conflict activity: cell degradation (necrosis) in the kidney parenchyma > the organism raises the blood pressure so that the filter function can remain intact = “compensatory hypertonia“ (CM: “renal hypertonia“). The blood pressure sinks to a normal level again when kidney cysts return to normal after about nine months. Up to that point, the cysts help the rest of the kidneys with filtering. In persistent conflict activity, the blood pressure remains high, because the filter tissue that was degraded has not been replaced by new tissue. This is because the repair phase is lacking (see p. 270). a Example: A man suffers a liquid conflict when his mother drowns in a river. Since then, this river has always been a trigger. Unfortunately, he has to drive across the river every day to go to work = persistent conflict activity - chronic high blood pressure. (Archive B. Eybl) • Narrowing of the kidney arteries: Persistent conflict according to Dr. Sabbah. One is boiling with anger on the inside and can’t let off steam. The blood pressure receptors in the kidneys incorrectly register low blood pressure > impulse to raise blood pressure > increased blood pressure (possibly paroxysmal), dizziness, morning headaches (see p. 272). • Thyroid: Raised thyroid hormone-level, during persistent conflict activity. Thyroid hormones make a person sympathicotonic > increased blood pressure, accelerated pulse rate, accelerated metabolism, weight loss (see p. 141f). • Adrenal cortex with regard to cortisol in the repair phase: excess production of cortisol = CM‘s “Cushing’s syndrome“ (see p. 138). • Adrenal cortex with regard to aldosterone in the repair phase or in persistent healing: raised aldosterone production = CM‘s “Conn‘s Syndrome“ - falling potassium levels (hypokalemia), high blood pressure, muscle weakness (see p. 138). • Adrenal medulla in the conflict-active phase: increase in dopamine, noradrenaline, and/or adrenaline production - hyperfunction of the adrenal medulla: sudden attack-like bouts of high blood pressure during stress with accelerated pulse, raised blood sugar levels, sweating, and trembling (see p. 140). Therapy According to the causes. Determine the conflict and family conditioning and resolve. Calm down and relax. Disengage from life as much as possible. Reduce activities. “Take your foot off the gas.” Endurance sports, stretching gymnastics, no weight lifting, yoga, vegetable diet, vegetables rich in potassium like spinach, fennel, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, garlic, and many more. It only makes sense to take blood pressure medications in exceptional situations (on a case-by-case basis and only short-term) due to their fundamental pointlessness and the severe side effects (e.g. follow-up conflicts: impotence, lack of drive). 81 General Symptoms Low blood pressure (hypotonia) Low blood pressure is, by and large, seen as positive from the perspective of the New Medicine and thus, doesn’t require treatment. Although, values under 105/65 are often disconcerting: dizziness, black spots in front of the eyes when standing, lack of drive. The following causes come into consideration: • Side effects from blood pressure lowering medications: Common situation among older people who do everything their doctor tells them. • Relaxed lifestyle: People who enjoy a generally relaxed lifestyle, free of stress for the most part > low blood pressure - a good sign. • Withstood stress: A person who has just gotten through a stressful (conflict-active) time. They relax, sleep well = repair phase > temporary low blood pressure (see p. 13). • Left heart muscle (myocardium) - Conflict of being overwhelmed in persistent repair phase (recurrent conflict): The left half of the heart is weakened and doesn’t pump sufficiently for the greater circulation, while the pulmonary (lung) circulation experiences (unnoticed) higher blood pressure. Main symptom: At rest, usually after stress, one feels their heart “beating in their throat” = repair phase crisis of the heart muscle (see p. 150f). • Adrenal cortex in the active phase: reduced cortisol or aldosterone production = CM “Addison’s disease“: fatigue, nausea, brown coloration of the skin (see p. 138). Therapy According to the cause. Determine the conflict and family conditioning and resolve. Often no need for treatment. Due to a general state of vagotonia, people with low blood pressure, as opposed to those with high blood pressure, should show more commitment to life, get more involved, take a stand more often. “Get living!” Tightening up the family arrangement leads to a tightening of the vascular musculature. > Increased blood pressure. Contrary to those with high blood pressure, people with low blood pressure should practice strength and speed training (muscle and blood vessel tension). (Less endurance training). Make sure the diet has enough protein. (A purely vegetarian diet lowers blood pressure). Sleep disorders (insomnia) Possible causes • Severe conflict activity (= stress): one or more conflicts can keep someone from being able to relax, even at night. Even though this endless thought usually doesn’t result in anything constructive, one can’t just turn it off. > Restless, light sleep, difficulties falling asleep and sleeping through the night, waking up early in the morning. Biological function: The individual is kept awake in order to resolve the conflict. > Therapy: resolve the conflict! • Skeletons in the closet: People who have trouble sleeping often fear coming in contact with their subconscious (repressed feelings, things left unsaid, taboo topics) - in principle, a form of conflict activity. Daytime
