corresponds with consciousness, night, the subconscious. Also, the fear of death can play a role: “Sleep is death’s little brother.” > Address the taboo topic with courage, even when it seems very difficult. Come to terms with the reality of death and dying by reading, speaking and laughing about it etc. • Strong repair phase: sleeping problems can arise even during vagotonia - not only due to the pain (repair) in the night. During the day, one is tired and looks forward to going to bed. However, sleep only seems possible during the second half of the night. During the day, you are tired again (see p. 13). There are two explanations for this phenomenon: 1. Nature wants to protect the vagotonia-weakened individual from being “easy prey“ for predators (animals active at night). Sleeping during the day is safer > People who are in the repair phase should surrender to their fatigue during the day and allow themselves to take frequent “naps.” 2. Nature makes sure that the nightly vagotonia does not cause an individual, who is already in a state of vagotonia, to fall into “super-vagotonia.“ This could possibly become critical. (Strong vagotonia = strong healing symptoms). Through this natural minimization of sleep, the person is kept in a tolerable vagotonia that is not too deep. By drinking coffee (or other sympathicotonics) in the evening, we can “outfox“ nature. The body believes it is daytime and gives up the sleep inhibition. > In the repair phase, coffee helps a person to sleep better during the night (= paradox)! • Breathing disruptions (sleep apnea) at night due to mini rightheart myocardial infarction: A coupling of the muscle of the right heart chamber with the diaphragm causes breathing to “stumble” > sleep disturbances. (See chapters on heart p. 150 and diaphragm p. 245). • Breathing disruptions (snoring) at night due to a slackening of the soft palate and disrupted air flow, usually occur among the obese. Loud snoring alternates with abnormally long breathing lapses > sleep disorder. • Hyperfunction of the thyroid, adrenal cortex, or adrenal medulla > increase in sympathetic function > sleep disorders (see corresponding chapter). Therapy for sleep disorders • Do enough exercise to make the body tired in the evening. Spend the evening quietly (without TV or computer). Do not eat too late in the evening. • Always go to bed at the same time and not too late. • Perform a switch-off ritual: For example, take several deep breaths in bed, review the day, say farewell to the day, and then “switch off.“ 82 General Symptoms • Bach flowers: hornbeam, impatiens, olive; in the active-phase, Star of Bethlehem. • Place lavender sachets near the head. • Make sure the feet are warm (foot bath, socks). • Teas of valerian, melissa, hops, lavender, fennel, etc. • Hildegard of Bingen: Eat two tablespoons of poppy seeds a day. • Natural borax internally. • CBD oil (cannabis oil). Fatigue (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS) When fatigue isn’t caused by sleep disorders (see above), the following causes can be considered: • Medication side effects: blood pressure medication, psychotropic drugs and many more. Often among older people who do everything their doctor tells them. • Withstood stress: A person who has just gotten through a stressful (conflict-active) time. They relax, sleep well and are nevertheless tired during the day = repair phase (see p. 13). This type of fatigue should last a maximum of 6 months. • Adrenal cortex: in the active phase: conflict - having deviated from the right path. Reduced cortisol or aldosterone production. Does not necessarily have to be diagnosed as “Addison’s disease” - there are also mild forms. Main symptom: stressed fatigue, poor appetite (see p. 138). > Observe to see which situations cause the fatigue: e.g., the work week. • Heart muscle (myocardium): chronic conflict of being overwhelmed: fatigue in the sense of having reduced performance (at work, sports) see p. 150. • Pericardium (heart sac): chronic attack-to-the-heart conflict. > Heart weakness (see p. 154). Therapy According to the cause. Determine the conflict, family conditioning and beliefs, resolve. Overweight, obesity (adiposity) Possible causes (combinations) • Obesity through conditioning • When a child or their ancestors (e.g., parents) have the experience that they will only be loved when they are fat, they will become fat unconsciously. Conditioning through statements like, “You are as skinny as an starving man. Look at your sister, look at how beautiful and full her face is!” • When a child or their ancestors have the experience that losing weight is dangerous, the person will unconsciously refuse to lose weight even if they would like to: e.g., ancestor had esophagus cancer and died of malnutrition or an ancestor died of starvation, e.g., in a concentration/POW camp. • The ongoing struggle with obesity and dissatisfaction with one’s own body is usually carried on over generations and always has the same result: e.g., for her whole life, a mother repeats the phrase, “Oh man, I’ve really got a big butt!” Her daughter adapts to this pattern and the corresponding reality materializes - namely, a big butt. When her curves get rounder during puberty or pregnancy, she will think to herself, “My God! Now I’m almost as fat as my mother!” (= multi-generational vicious circle). Through this kind of programming, the Special Program will begin for the corresponding fat cells (see p. 282f). > “I love my body the way it is - just like my fat mother/father. I may become just like her/him, but I can also become someone different, the person I want to become.” • Chronic conflict of the active kidney collecting tubules: the most common cause by far. Refugee conflict: Fluid deposits, everything with caloric content is retained in order to get through the “lean times” > weight gain while eating very little. Few calories are needed. Dark urine, usually raised creatinine and uric acid values; fluid is also removed from the stool > hard stool, constipation. By filling up their body, a person creates reserves. Left alone, they effectively protect themselves in this way from cold or further emotional disappointments, injuries, attacks (protective armor) (see p. 266). • Fatty tissue: Conflict of feeling unattractive at the particular bodily locations > persistent repair > excess fatty tissue in the “problem zones“ > formation of fatty tissue, cellulite (p. 176). The obese/unattractive condition can also be a part of a (usually unconscious) protective strategy: When someone is fat, they will be “left alone” by the opposite sex. This means that they are less likely to experience sexual violence. E.g., when ancestors or the person themselves were the victim(s) of sexual assault or abuse. • Alpha-islet cells (pancreas): Fear-disgust or resistance conflict, chronic conflict-active phase > reduced function > constant low blood sugar (CM: “hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia“) > constant hunger due to low blood sugar levels, craving for sweets, “hunger attacks“ > weight gain (see p. 261). • Liver: Early childhood starvation conflicts lead to a loss of “feeling full“ or satiated. Later the person doesn‘t know when they have had enough. (See p. 252) • Thyroid Gland: Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) of being too slow, persistent repair of the resulting condition > low production of thyroxine = thyroid insufficiency. (In CM, hyperthyroidism, myxedema, possibly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis“) > slowed metabolism - less energy is used up > weight gain (see p. 141). • Adrenal cortex: Conflict of having gotten on the wrong track, persistent repair > increased cortisol production = adrenal hyperfunction (CM: “Cushing‘s disease“) “moon-face;“ the symp- 83 General Symptoms toms are similar to long-term cortisone intake. (See p. 138) • Lack of mobility: If the balance between energy intake (eating) and energy consumption (movement) get out of kilter, the excess is stored in the form of fat. The body‘s need for mobility and a variety of motion is not met > regular exercise, sports, etc. • Malnutrition: Low-fiber, “dead,“ cheap, mass-produced food (white flour, sugar, margarine, soft drinks, etc.) makes you fat and sick with the same amount of calories. > Nutritional switch to “living food,“ prepared with love. • Aspartame: People want to become or stay slender with these zero calorie artificial sweeteners. However, if they knew that aspartame is given to livestock to fatten the animals up (it makes them hungry) and that it causes brain and nerve damage, they wouldn‘t touch it. Alternative: Stevia. • Low fat foods: People wanting to lose weight are making a mistake if they believe that these will help. Valuable fats (e.g., butter, cold-pressed oils) don’t make us fat. • Side effects of medication: Cortisone, anti-depressants, tranquilizers (neuroleptics), “the pill“ (chemical birth control), blood pressure medicines (beta blockers), insulin and more. > Go through your medications and weigh the risks and benefits. Perhaps you can reduce the dosage or cut them out altogether (“medication vacation“). Therapy According to the causes described above: Recognize the entanglements and the thought patterns and throw them overboard. Be sure to “nurse” your new way of thinking on a daily basis, so it becomes anchored in your subconscious. Anton Styger’s morning ritual: You stand naked in front of the mirror, observe your body and say: “Thank you (body) for being such a beautiful enclosure for my soul. Thank you letting me live inside you. You are strong, beautiful and I like you just the way you are. You and I will stay healthy until the end!” Afterward, clothe your body in divine, white light. Underweight, lack of appetite, eating disorders (anorexia) Put simply: The desire to eat is equivalent to the desire for life. Those who don’t want to eat anymore will waste away. Possible causes: • Conflict activity: Lack of appetite and the weight loss resulting from this problem are classic signs of an active conflict (see p. 13). Proper nutrition isn’t a concern, because the person has other things to worry about. Further symptoms: restless thoughts, poor sleep, cold hands (see p. 9ff). Constant conflict activity saps a person’s will (cachexia). One is thin and tense, but this is rarely fatal. The most common examples of cachexia that can end in death: people suffering from diagnosis shock (completely giving up) or the last days of a long life (one stops eating because they want to go). > Resolving the conflict . • Underweight through conditioning • I will only be loved if I am thin - can lead to eating disorders (e.g., anorexia): “Don’t eat so much or you will soon be as fat and ugly as Aunt Tracy!” • People with anorexia feel drawn by death. The cause can often be found in the family system. The unconscious pattern is often, “Better me than you.” (Someone becomes severely ill and the person wants to sacrifice their own life in the place of the other’s). Also, “I will follow you.” (E.g., someone has died and the person feels guilty because they are allowed to go on living). • Perfectionism “My body has to be perfect.” • Purity: One wants to be pure and spotless like a virgin. One doesn’t want to defile themselves with food/bad nutrition. > Recognize the situation and break out of these patterns/habits. • Stomach mucosa: Active territorial-anger conflict. One is especially nauseous in the morning, one has little appetite in general and loses weight. Usually accompanied by stomach pains, acid indigestion (see p. 223). > Resolve the conflict. • Intestinal mucosa: Chronic chunk conflict (see p. 235, 243) > chronic bowel inflammation (enteritis) with tendency of diarrhea (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis). One has an appetite, but can’t “digest” much of it. Bad nutrition conversion > weight loss > resolve the chronic conflict. Colds, flu infections (influenza, viral bird and swine flu) According to the 4. Law of Nature, no diseases are communicated from outside of the body. With this conviction, you can relax and don’t have to worry about the various strains of the flu. CM makes an unnecessary distinction between “a dangerous, real flu” (= influenza or viral flus) and a “harmless flu-like infection.” Seen from our perspective, we only pay attention to the symptoms (see below). Why influenza epidemics usually occur during or at the end of winter: 1. In the winter half of the year, there is a predominant “parasympathetic tailwind.” I.e. nature uses this time for regeneration and healing (see also p. 71). 2. Why flu outbreaks usually sweep through the population during or at the end of winter: Most people are discomforted by cold or the cold times of the year. For our ancestors, the winter was often a threat and at least, a time of privation - this conditioning is embedded in our subconscious. > Cold (name “the common cold”) = conflict or conflict triggers. The end of the winter = repair phase with the common symptoms as follows: • Pain in the limbs = self-esteem conflict - repair phase. • Sniffles = stinking conflict or scent conflict - repair phase. 84 General Symptoms • Inflammation of the throat = conflict of not wanting to swallow something, wanting to spit it out - repair phase (see p. 208). • Inflammation of the larynx = shock-fright or speechlessness conflict - repair phase (see p. 184). • Bird, swine, and other new influenzas are campaigns staged by the World Health Organization. The above symptoms can become dangerous illnesses or epidemics through conventional therapeutics such as Tamiflu, Relenza (chemotherapies that blocks a cell’s ability to metabolize), vaccinations, and above all, through mass fear hypnosis. I can’t judge if you can rule out every infection. It is possible that infectious germs or parasites that cause sickness could actually arise in a completely polluted environment. Hospital germs (MRSA) We designate a group of staphylococcus bacteria that doesn’t respond to antibiotics anymore as hospital germs because these germs have developed a resistance. From our view, this is unfortunate, because the (sometimes necessary) antibiotic option for attenuating an intense repair phase often no longer works. The decisive factor is still: infections arise from within. This means: without germs introduced from the outside. The standard situation: Someone receives a routine operation, e.g., on their knee. Despite being thoroughly disinfected, their knee becomes purulent within a day or several days following the OP. This is easily explained from the perspective of the New Medicine: this affects people who have a conflict with the operation itself, who fear that something will go wrong, fear a lengthy recuperation phase or fear the pain afterward. Simply put: they are OP conflict-active. If the patient sees that everything went well after the OP (which is usually the case), their optimism returns = beginning of the repair phase. Their body now builds or breaks down tissue in a meaningful way, depending on which SBS has started. > Fever, infection (e.g. of the knee), blood sedimentation, elevated white blood cell counts, etc. The diagnosis is “MRSA.” > “After I decide to go through with a procedure/an operation I trust in the fact that, with God’s help, everything will turn out all right and everything will soon be back to normal.” Parasites in the blood This diagnosis is often made very hastily by dark-field microscopy technicians. From my own experience with microscopy, I can say that there is a great deal of room for interpretation. However, if the diagnosis is correct and living creatures are actually detected moving in a fresh blood sample, the question arises: Where did they come from and why are they there? After all, it is still not clear whether any given parasite should be classified as a pathogen or a symbiont. Even if we assume the former, we should remember Claude Bernard’s famous quote, “The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything,” and realize that the inner (fluid) terrain is also influenced by our inner life: Our collective emotional field is often full of inhibiting thoughts of scarcity, “I need more money/energy/love,” and full of egoistic/parasitic solutions: “Pay as little as you can for good work; collect as much as possible for yourself. Give the least amount of love; expect the most in return.” On top of that, there is also our collective exploitation of Mother Earth and our own communal/state resources (finances). Parasites mirror these aberrant developments and create a balance by turning the taker (egoist) into the giver (host). Therapy • Recognize that God’s love is unlimited, and therefore, scarcity is an illusion. This understanding has given us the axiom: “It is better to give than to receive.” • Naturally pure, predominantly vegetable diet. • The success of chemical purges (antibiotics, antifungals) is not sustainable over longer periods and has many side effects. • See also: intestinal parasites, p. 231 Lyme disease (lyme borreliosis) In our view, the ring-shaped reddening of the skin attributed to Lyme disease is a separation conflict in the repair phase. With or without the tick bite - both are possible. The joint and nervous symptoms are mistakenly attributed to a tick bite. The reddening is a reaction to the introduction of foreign protein by the insect. In any case, a repair phase infection. The screw-formed bacteria (spirochetes) don’t have anything to do with the illness. This is also exactly what the medical medium Anthony William asserts and he wonders why the therapists and their patients jump on the spirochetes train without any critical deliberation. I observed a patient with the typical ring-shaped reddening of the skin on their shoulder following a very small tick bite. Three weeks later, just as described in CM, massive bone pains set in, emerging from the very spot where she had been bitten and they spread over her whole body. The patient was not afraid of ticks or infections (in other words, no fear conflicts). The interesting thing is, just before that, she had made a huge step forward regarding her self-esteem. This involved her elderly father, who for the first time, had opened up to her. The patient healed her borreliosis with natural remedies (teasel, oregano, anise, agrimony), but for the first two weeks she re- 85 General Symptoms quired painkillers (antirheumatics). Another patient also had borreliosis without any demonstrable insect bite; two important people in his life had died three weeks prior (= separation conflict, p. 318). When he overcame it, he contracted borreliosis on his right (partner) hip (= repair phase). Something else that argues against it being an infection: Why has there never been any direct proof of Borrelia found in those affected? Many homeopaths believe that borreliosis is a result of vaccinations (vaccine damage). > For this reason, always determine the cause: Was there a vaccination before the onset of the symptoms? Were any antibiotics or other serious drugs administered? Down syndrome (trisomy 21) affected children Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder in which three instead of two copies of chromosome 21 are present. It appears more often in children born to older women. New Medicine’s view: Unfortunately, reliable statements about the cause of the conflict still cannot be made. Nevertheless, the old adage, “Nothing comes from nothing,” still applies. Dr. Hamer reported on a Down syndrome child in his Golden Book, vol. 2, p. 445. Here, a hearing conflict and a motor conflict were identified as the cause: During the pregnancy, the mother suffered from massive jackhammer noise in her office. After the birth, it was noticed that the child was extremely sensitive to noise and this is why Dr. Hamer recommended that absolute quiet be the most important measure taken. The child developed excellently up to the present and in the meantime had finished high school. If trisomy was still present is unknown. What commonly plays a role among women who have late pregnancies is the mother’s doubt with regard to the child’s health. These fears increase with the age of the mother - especially among those who are “well informed” by conventional medicine as opposed to younger, “happy-go-lucky” women. ➜ A pregnant woman sees another woman with a disabled child on the street and thinks to herself: “My God, what a tragic fate. Hopefully my child won’t be like that.” It is possible that these fearful ideas materialize and create exactly that which was feared most. > I remain confident and I look forward to my child. I will make myself comfortable and avoid noise (including ultrasound). Ancestor view: Disabilities can sometimes be explained by the family chronology (see p. 27, family waltzes p. 30). Spiritual view: My observations lead me to believe that parents/ families that move forward positively with their child’s disability receive a special radiant power, comparable to a lighthouse. It appears that these families win something: Through their child, they get an understanding of what life is really all about. Loss of consciousness, prolonged unconsciousness (absence seizures) According to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, sudden losses of consciousness, often lasting only a few seconds, are the repair phase crises for separation, territorial or motor conflicts (epilepsy). If they occur regularly, the conflict is persistent. If the absence represents the main symptom - which isn’t the rule - the following (additional) conflict aspect is present: Conflict The situation is unbearable, one wishes to blank it out/to “teleport” themselves/would like to disappear. Example • A 10-year-old girl has short, recurring absences at school. Cause: Her father is self-employed and is constantly taking on new projects. It’s all too much for him. He would like to “make himself scarce.” His daughter is carrying it for him and is making the family aware of the issue. (Archive B. Eybl) Bio. function Protection from an overwhelming reality. Escape to another “little world”where everything is quiet and peaceful. Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, triggers and causal conditioning. Depression, burnout syndrome Depression + burnout are sometimes identical, sometimes not. From the view of family energies • When a child (we are all the children of our parents) can’t stand their parents anymore, they become sad/depressed. Someone who only takes what they want from their parents doesn’t take them as a whole. Those who despise them cut themselves off from their power completely. > “You are my only father and the best one for me. Thank you.” > “You are my only mother and the best one for me. Thank you.” • Some are depressed because their mothers or fathers were also. Depression is a part of our “basic psychological equipment” (see chapter on conditioning p. 27). Here, you can also speak of solidarity. > „“I don’t have to carry this burden. I’ll leave it with my dear mother/father.” • A secret death-wish may lie behind depression. Motto 1: “Better me than you.” A child is helpless with regard to a beloved family member and thinks that they can take over their fate for them. > Be humble and recognize that no one has the right to intervene in the fate of another in this way. 86 General Symptoms Motto 2: “I will follow you.” A child believes that it’s unjust that they are allowed to go on living while another family member must die. > “I’ll stay a while and then I’ll come too.” • Depression as an unconscious strategy: 1). Get recognition (sympathy). 2) Take revenge - e.g., take revenge on mother. Social view, many people in social occupations (e.g., companies, schools or hospitals) suffer from this because the system strictly limits their personal creativity. They feel they are running around like proverbial hamsters in a wheel, having no time for themselves and losing their energy, motivation and enjoyment of life. Spiritual view: When we leave our prescribed path of development, don’t follow our inner calling and only “function,” living life from the outside, our life will have no meaning. Cut off from the divine flow of energy, we will be tired, unsatisfied and empty. > What is the meaning of (my) life? What sustains my happiness? This is the path I will follow! View from the 5 Biological Laws of Nature Depression is usually the result of a territorial conflict or a territorial constellation (see p. 371). Sometimes a cerebellum constellation can cause depression: One feels listless and empty (see p. 371). > Determine the conflicts and conditioning and resolve it. Usually, someone goes through months and years of conflict activity until their reserves are used up. Then, the body pulls the emergency brake. Seen in this way, burnout is the (last) protective reaction. What happens after that depends on whether the person makes any significant change in their life. If they stay on the same path, they will remain sympathicotonic and permanently stressed, possibly with regenerating phases in between. In this case, no change can be expected. It would be wiser for them to sit down and make an honest analysis of their life before making genuine, but often painful changes; just putting an end to stagnation can be a relief in itself. Every SBS has two phases and, after the conflict activity, there comes a long phase of regeneration (repair phase). On one hand, this brings us a hopeful perspective on the future. On the other hand, vagotonia takes its toll: chronic fatigue, tiredness, exhaustion, various illnesses and pain. That said, I also know of cases where only the repair phase - the time following a long period of overdoing it - is seen as burnout. For this reason, we as therapists must be careful: The patient can be in chronic conflict activity, in a longer repair phase or in a condition in between. > Locate the situation and change it as necessary. Further causes • Side effects of medication: High blood pressure medications dampen spirits and lower energy levels. When psychological drugs are taken over long periods, they can have the same effect as the symptoms for which they were proscribed. > Reduce/stop taking (“medication vacation”). • Sleep disorders can increase depression (see above). Therapy for burnout, depression • An understanding of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature is good, but a little more is needed to overcome depression: above all, the readiness to make internal and external changes, the will to continue making personal development and the making or strengthening one’s connection “above.” Two tips for this direction: “Be thankful for everything that life has given you up to this point!” “Do good things for others!” Depressed people often concentrate too much on themselves and feel like a victim. Through giving, someone can break out of this role. Giving makes you happy. Whoever gives the gift of happiness will also be happy themselves. • CBD oil (cannabis oil). • Lavender tea. • Linseed oil (omega-3). • Maca powder (5 g = 1 tablespoon/day), yam powder. • St. John‘s wort. • Nutmeg powder. • Vitamin B, Linseed oil. • Colloidal Gold. • For people over 45: natural (= nature identical) as hormones, e.g., as according to Dr. Lee, Dr. Platt and Dr. Lenard. • Communion with God and contact with nature (sun, wind, water, forests, mountains). • Regular exercise in the fresh air. • Be grateful for everything. Morning ritual by Styger (p. 83). • Natural, alkaline nutrition, clean water. • Minimize electro-smog (smartphone, cordless phone, etc.). 87 Nervous System SBS of the Trigeminal Nerve Headaches, migraines II, trigeminal neuralgia Normally, migraines appear suddenly, are asymmetrical (usually only one side of the face) and are accompanied by intense pain. The fact that the most common form of migraines are caused by the trigeminal nerve was recognized by Angela Frauenkron-Hoffmann. The following is derived from her excellent book, 1-2-3 Migränefrei (see source list). The trigeminus has three branches (see illustration p. 88): The upper, first branch, supplies the eye area, the second, essentially the nose and the third, the mouth and tongue. Usually the first branch reacts (migraines in the temple/eye area). As always, the content of the conflict reveals the function: Conflict Most common: 1st branch: Separation conflict with relation to face - one is not seen or recognized. The first and most important recognition (or just the opposite) takes place at birth - the mother receives/ sees the child. Adult conflict: losing face or prestige. 2nd branch: Separation conflict with relation to smell - one is not “sniffed” (considered). E C T O HFs trigeminus, base of cerebral cortex THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Headaches, Migraines The line between headaches and migraines is blurry. Typically, migraines are asymmetrical, involve high intensity pain and are accompanied by nausea or blind spots (scotomas). From the perspective of the New Medicine, head pain represents the repair phase and migraines a repair phase crisis. The good news is that through these, some of the conflict mass is depleted each time. After the conflict is resolved, no further symptoms should be expected. SBS of the Cervical/Cranial Bones Headaches, migraines I The most common type of head pain, usually symmetrical, comes from behind, combined with chronic tension. Conflict Moral-intellectual, self-esteem conflict. Perceived injustice, pressure to succeed, dishonesty. Belief that one has to do everything immediately or perfectly. Feeling stupid or unintelligent. Vernacular “Racking your brains.” “Taking it on the chin.” “Hanging your head.” Example a An office worker has been under stress the whole week because of too much work. She is really looking forward to the weekend. On Friday, as the tension subsides, the headache begins = repair phase of the self-esteem conflict. Note: typical weekend migraine. (Archive B. Eybl). Conflict-active Functional impairment, cell breakdown in cervical vertebrae/cranial bones/ligaments/muscles. Repair phase Regeneration of the tissue, swelling, pressure on the bone skin > head and neck pain. So, the headaches appear in the context of a repair phase. Recurring conflicts cause an alternation between painfree intervals and times of headaches. Questions With what and why do I put myself under pressure? Who do I want to impress? Why does only my performance count? What conditioning lies behind it (father, mother, teacher)? For further questions: see p. 288f. Therapy Determine the conflict, conditioning and belief systems and resolve them. Look for the love - there you will find the solution. Guiding principle: “I trust in my abilities.” “I can’t do everything at once. - I will calmly accomplish everything I can and that’s it.” “What I can’t change isn’t going to upset me.” See also: therapy for headaches/migraines p. 67. N E W M E S O 88 Nervous System 3rd branch: Separation conflict with relation to mouth and tongue - one is not kissed (”licked”). Examples ➜ A child is not beheld by the mother at birth. E.g., under anesthetic for a Cesarian section, the mother is too preoccupied with herself. The hospital staff take the baby away at first. In doing so, the “first recognition” is missing. ➜ Real skin contact loss (e.g., through the separation from a partner). ➜ Someone is made to look ridiculous or isn’t taken seriously. ➜ Someone is overlooked or skipped. a A 46-year-old is six when his mother dies. He can still remember exactly that his sister-in-law couldn’t look at her. After becoming aware of this decisive situation, he is able to heal his migraine aura after over 30 years. (Archive B. Eybl) a The 48-year-old, right-handed, slim, childless patient works in an office. A year ago, the patient feels terrible as she sits alone in her apartment on the Friday before the Easter holidays: On this evening, she feels “extremely separated from everything - especially from her partner,” who she really wants to be with after their relationship ended. She feels lonely, abandoned and desperate. = Separation conflict. One branch of pain runs to the jaw joint, another to the corner of the eye. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Unnoticed reduction in sensitivity of the trigeminal nerve. Possibly dry skin in the nerve coverage area. Bio. function The separation should be “forgotten” through the reduction in sensitivity. Repair crisis Migraines or trigeminus neuralgia pain in the repair phase crisis during the repair phase. Restoration of the sensitivity. Migraine also occurs in a relaxed state after stress. Note Mother/child or partner side consideration. If the complaints are worse during stress and better at rest, a brutal separation conflict (affecting the periosteum) may be present. In this case, the region feels rather cold and one has cold feet. = Same conflict content. Questions When did the first migraine occur? What stress was there before it with regard to not being considered, being disgraced? How was the birth? How was I received? Did I receive enough recognition/love as a child? Do I often feel unnoticed? Do/Did I feel suddenly humiliated? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and conditioning and resolve if the migraines are recurring. Guiding principles: “I am lovable.“ “I don’t care what the others think about me.” “What do I care about the opinions of other people?” “The way I am is okay; everybody makes mistakes.” For syndrome, resolve the refugee conflict. Quark compresses, cold water applications. Cold compresses with a decoction of chamomile and elder blossom tea. Gently apply dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) , diluted lavender/St. John’s wort oil at the site of the pain. Blue or violet light irradiation. Lymph drainage, possibly chiropractic treatment, osteopathy on the cervical spine (neck), hot foot baths. Internally: lavender and peppermint tea. Vitamin B preparations, cod liver oil, natural borax internally, possibly externally. Linseed oil. See also: repair phase on the brain level (p. 67.). Pain medication. CM epilepsy medications (e.g., Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine) have many side effects, are hardly effective and therefore, their use doesn’t make sense from the standpoint of the New Medicine. Trigeminal nerve - epidermis Separation Conflict with Regard to the Face E C T O 89 Nervous System Headaches Further, possible causes for headaches General healing symptom: The cause is the brain’s need for more room (brain/cerebral edema). The pressure on the meninges causes headaches. The brain itself has no pain receptors. Light to medium headache = repair phase. Severe to extreme headache = repair phase crisis. Following the consumption of certain foods or drinks: For some people, foods are conflict triggers (= allergy). Conflict activity is triggered through consumption. The affected organ must not necessarily be a digestive organ > repair phase = headache. The result of being poisoned: Most medications, alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs, set the body under artificial stress, making them sympatholytic substances. If the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, we feel “high.“ The effect of most medications is based on this autonomic shift. Repair phases and the pain associated with them are interrupted. When the poisonous effects diminish, the individual starts healing > repair after the poisoning > headache (for instance, analgesic-headache). Hypoglycemia of the brain through any repair phase: During the repair phase, especially the repair phase crisis, the brain has a much stronger need for sugar. A low glucose level causes or increases the brain edema > headache. Thus, a regular application of organic glucose in the case of brain pressure symptoms is important for therapy. Hypoglycemia of the brain, as a result of a fear-revulsion conflict or a refusal conflict, regardless of whether alpha cells or beta cells are affected, can cause a temporary hypoglycemia with headache, according to the phase. (See p. 261) Therapy headache/migraine • The conflict is resolved! For recurring headaches, find out what the conflict and triggers are and resolve them. • With syndrome: resolve the refugee conflict (p. 266). • Cold-water applications for the head and face, cold compresses. • Walks in the fresh air (good for the oxygen supply). • Dab diluted oils of lavender, frankincense, peppermint, or lemon balm on the temples. • Irradiation with blue/violet light. • Natural borax internally. • Black cumin oil. • Moderate amounts of alcohol, which acts as a diuretic substance by suppressing the antidiuretic effects of vasopressin (ADH). (Everyone knows the urge to urinate after drinking a beer). • Colloidal gold. • Lymph drainage, foot reflex-zone massage, acupoint massage, normal massage, chiropractic or osteopathy. • Tea made from lavender, peppermint, rose leaves, violet blossoms and many more. Possibly, the painkiller paracetamol. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. SBS of the Brain’s Connective Tissue Brain tumor (astrocytoma, glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, ganglioglioma) About 50% of the brain’s volume consists of brain connective tissue (= glia). The macroglia cells (astrocyte, oligodendrocyte, ependymal and plexus epithelial cells) are a part of the ectoderm and account for 80%. The other 20% are microglia cells (Hortega cells, mesoglia), come from scavenger cells and are mesodermal. The nerve cells (neurons) are completely dependent on the interaction with the glia. Without them, nothing would happen in the brain at all. The historical term, brain connective tissue, hardly does justice to the important function of the glia. Functions of the macroglia: 1. Networking, stimulus conduction, nourishment, protection, isolation (blood-brain barrier) of the nerve cells. 2. Supplying the web-like mechanical structure. Incidentally, the functions of the microglia are similar to the scavenger cells in the body: police, fire department and waste management for the brain. Microglia tumors practically never occur. Our attention is therefore focused on the macroglia: From the functions, you can derive the following conflict content of brain tumors: Conflict 1. Social conflict - one wasn’t connected well enough, one doesn’t feel sufficiently informed or protected by others, one didn’t get enough help from others and therefore got into difficulties or, vice versa, one didn’t provide sufficient help. 2. One can’t deal with structures (e.g., social, economic systems) or fails in constructing sustainable E C T O 90 Nervous System structures (workplace, residence, family). The location of the tumor shows the tone of the conflict. E.g., in the white matter > self-esteem components, in the cerebellum > integrity-injury components (see above). Example a A 21-year-old, left-handed patient is diagnosed with a “brain tumor“ when she is examined in the hospital after having fainted briefly. A tumor is found in the right ovary relay. Thus, it is a loss conflict in the process of healing. The following occurred 6 years ago: Hexi, the patient‘s beloved poodle mix, is hit by a car. The poor animal lies there, whimpering with a crushed skull. In her shock, the girl, 15 at the time, does not go with her to the vet to have her put to sleep. = Conflict with loss components, that she should have provided support for her dog. In all the years since, whenever she sees a dog, she thinks of Hexi and how she abandoned her in his darkest hour (recurrence). The patient entered into the repair phase five months ago when she got a new dog named Akira. Since then, she no longer thinks about Hexi, but is often tired (vagotonia). The “brain tumor“ shows the healing process. (Archive B. Eybl) a A man comes to the realization that the system in which we live is dishonest. When he tries to get out of it by starting an alternative career (health products), he fails. After he changes things in his life several times, a tumor develops in his cerebral white matter. Due to pressure by his family, he submits to an operation. Nevertheless, he survives. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Unnoticed diminishing function of the brain’s connective tissue or degeneration of glia. Bio. function 1. Limitation/degeneration of the old network to make room for the new. 2. Limitation/degradation of the old structure so an alternative can be built (similar to an alternative system). Repair phase Repair phase: Increase in function and growth of the brain’s connective tissue. Headaches, possible double vision, dizziness due to the swelling. Duration and intensity of growth dependent on the conflict size. Often, a persistent conflict. Estimating the length of the repair phase is difficult due to recurrences going unnoticed and the diagnosis shock. Note Brain tumors are being diagnosed more frequently, because patients are being scanned more precisely and more frequently (CT, MRI). Earlier, the patient just had headaches for three months. One didn’t know why, but the patient was left to recover in peace. Today’s policy is “action.” Preventative examinations are also responsible for finding more and more tumors that may not result in any complications for the patient and would have been ignored in the past. Less than 2% survive the diagnosis “brain tumor.” Most die of fear, chemotherapy and radiation. This SBS is not the cause of all structures diagnosed as brain tumors: According to Dr. Hamer, a so- ”brain tumor” is not an SBS itself, but represents a Hamer focus during or after an intensive repair phase. Thus, he explains brain tumors as not being their own SBSs. In my experience, the SBS described here is running when the connective tissue doesn’t stop growing for months and when the swelling cannot be explained by edema anymore = brain tumors with increasing swelling that would be diagnosed as “malignant” by CM. E C T O 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 Brainstem Chunk Conflict 91 Nervous System Questions When did the symptoms begin? (= Beginning of the repair phase, set off by something positive). What happened that was good? (E.g., good news, reconciliation, praise, vacation, retirement. > Based on the positive event, you can deduce the preceding conflict). Did I feel that I wasn’t supported enough? Was there a lack of important information? Was there stress related to a structure/system? Why was that so important to me? What sensitized me to it (childhood, parents’ emotions, pregnancy, birth)? What further conditioning in the family underlies it? What positive aspects can the diagnosis have? Therapy The conflict is resolved; support the healing. In the event that the symptoms do not improve, i.e., last longer than 6 months, you’re dealing with a persistent conflict. > Determine the conflict, conditioning and beliefs and resolve them. Find out where the love is - there lies the solution. Knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature is decisive for someone finding their way out of the fear. For actionable measures, see repair phase - brain level, p. 67. In the case of syndrome: resolve the refugee conflict (see p. 266). Cortisone to reduce the swelling as necessary. The surgical removal of brain tumors is only rarely advisable. Chemo and radiation therapy is not recommended based on the low survival rate. As a rule, the ideal therapy for every individual is the one that they trust the most. With this in mind, the decision for chemotherapy, although not to be recommended, should be accepted. SBS oft the Pineal Gland (Pinealozytes) Pineal tumor (pineocytoma, pineoblastoma)1 The pineal gland is a light-receiving organ which produces hormones. It’s interaction with the retina converts the serotonin formed in the brain during the day into melatonin at night. It controls the circadian (day and night) rhythm and is considered the seat of the 3rd eye. - The gift of clairvoyance and intuition are attributed to this mysterious organ. According to Dr. Rick Strassman, it is a window into other areas of our existence. The following is what little we know so far about the pineal gland from the perspective of the New Medicine: Conflict Chunk conflict (p. 15, 16): Too little light - it’s too dark. Real or in the figurative sense. (The Light of God.) Examples ➜ One suffers from the absence of natural light (mine or night-shift workers, dark office). ➜ One feels separated from God and forsaken by all the angels. Conflict-active Increased light absorption and melatonin production. With prolonged conflict activity, enlargement of the gland by cell division. = Pineal tumor. Frequent complications: obstruction of the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid > liquid overpressure > intracranial pressure symptoms, possibly hydrocephalus. Bio. function Improvement of light reception - to cope with less light. More production of melatonin. Repair phase Tumor degradation by fungi bacteria. = Pineal tuberculosis > “brain sand” or calcification. Note Open questions: Why is the pineal gland calcified in almost all people? Does almost everyone experience this conflict? Is a life removed from God responsible or is the truth that calcification is a (positive) crystallization? Therapy Determine and solve conflict in real life if still active. Pay attention to a good sleep/night rhythm and get adequate sleep. As often as possible, “refuel” sunlight and nature. At sunset, look straight at the sun. Colloidal gold. Meditate, visualize, and be creative. Avoid fluorine, caffeine, sugar and all poisons. Guiding principle: “I am always conscious about my divine descent. Its light shines in me. “ 1 See Dr. Hamer, my student girl, pp. 469ff, Amici di Dirk Publishers, 2nd edition 6/2014, ISBN 978-84-96127-63-0 E N D O E C T O 92 Nervous System SBS of the Choroid Plexus Brain tumor of the brain chambers - ependymoma, choroid plexus papilloma1 Conflict 1. Right side of the brain: cannot get something, Left side of the brain: cannot get rid of something. 2. Conflict that the brain dries up: One believes that they cannot think well enough. Examples a For 1: A woman works reluctantly as a secretary at the social welfare court. = Conflict - she wants to leave. When she finds a new job, the ependymoma brain tumor, located in the left lateral ventricle, will break down by tuberculosis (ependymoma- tuberculosis ).1 (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Someone cannot remember while learning or does not understand the math problems. Conflict-active Function increase, growth of an arterial network adeno-ca = ependymoma or choroid plexus papilloma. Bio. function Enlarging the artery network so that more brain fluid can be produced/delivered. Repair phase Degradation of the tumor by fungi bacteria. = Ependymoma tuberculosis. Afterward, calcium deposits remain. A calcified choroid plexus can often be seen in the CT. Therapy Determine conflict or triggers and resolve them in real life if still active. 1 See Dr. Hamer, My Student Girl, pp. 469ff, Amici di Dirk Publishers, 2nd edition 6/2014, ISBN 978-84-96127-63-0 E N D O Paralysis of the facial nerve, nervous twitching (tic) Conflict Motor conflict, made the fool. Fear of losing face or being humiliated. Examples ➜ Somebody disgraces themselves in front of the family, in their circle of friends, or in front of their colleagues at work. ➜ ”Just look at yourself!“ “Ugh! Look at them over there.“ a A 62-year-old man has the urge to “convert” all of the people around him: He explains to them why they shouldn’t eat meat, why vaccinations are bad etc., but thanks to his fanaticism, he reaps only ridicule and rejection. = Conflict over being made the fool. A tic develops: His right eye twitches, as if he he’s trying to squint. When he recognizes the cause and realizes he can’t change the world like this, the tic becomes much better. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Partial or general paralysis of the facial muscles. The most common symptom: on the affected side, the corner of the mouth hangs down. Light cases are common. Bio. function A paralysis of the facial expressions results in a “poker face“ showing no emotions. In this way, the “game“ can be won in the end. Repair phase Return of the feeling in the nerves. Note: Sometimes the paralysis does not show itself until the beginning of the repair phase or after the repair phase crisis = hot stroke (see below). Repair crisis Twitching, cramps In CM, facial paralyses are often seen as “strokes.“ Watch for “handedness.” Questions When did the symptoms begin? Stress from losing face? Did I feel humiliated or disgraced? What conditioning in the family underlie this? Therapy See trigeminal neuralgia I. SBS of the Muscle and Nerve Network E C T O 93 Nervous System Stroke without documented brain hemorrhaging In the following, we will deal with strokes in which there was no hemorrhaging found in CT/MRI scans. Upon closer inspection however, one will find Hamer foci or edemas in the motor area of the cerebral cortex. As for the CM claim of an “insufficient oxygen supply to an area of the brain” (ischemic stroke): The blood vessels of all organs, including the brain, are arranged in a network. A potential vessel occlusion (blockage) is immediately detoured by so-called vascular redundancy (collateral circulation) and via new branches forming between adjacent blood vessels (neovascularization). Doctors often search for hemorrhaging to no avail and finally assign responsibility to some blood vessel arbitrarily because they can’t find anything. Conclusion: “ischemic strokes” are questionable. In the New Medicine, we know of two types of strokes. Both are caused, when paralyses occur, by motor conflicts. The first, less common form, is the so-called cold stroke = paralysis in conflict activity. The second, much more common form is the so-called hot stroke. This happens during a fulminating repair phase after a very long period (several months, but usually years) of conflict activity. Cold stroke1 Conflict Motor conflict. Fear of restriction. Conflict of not being able, allowed or willing to move. Facial muscles: to be made a fool of. Shoulder/back musculature: to be unable to avoid someone or something. Leg and arm bending and pulling musculature (adductors): To be unable to hold onto something or somebody, to draw him close, to hug him. Leg and arm stretching and splaying musculature (abductors): To be unable to escape from, push away, or fend off somebody or something. Legs in general: To be completely at a loss. To be unable to get away, escape, or catch up. To be unable to run fast enough, climb, go up or down, dance, jump, keep one‘s balance, etc. Tissue Voluntary (striated) musculature - cerebral cortex - ectoderm (innervation) and cerebral white matter - mesoderm (nutrition). Conflict-active Paralysis is often just a weakness of the affected muscle group = cold stroke. Signs of sympathectomy such as cold hands, compulsive thinking, light sleep, weight loss, etc. CM normally does not call these paralyses strokes, instead, they go under names like MS (multiple sclerosis) or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Bio. function The “play dead“ reflex: Many animals pretend to be dead when being chased or when the situation is hopeless (e.g., fawn, mouse, snake). The pursuer then gives up or does not even see his prey. Carnivores - cats, for example - are only interested in “moving objects.“ When the danger has passed, the paralysis ends. Striated Musculature Motor conflict SBS of the Muscle and Nerve Network E C T O HFs sensory function (legs) in cerebral cortex 94 Repair phase Recovery of nerve network. The paralyses only improve gradually because the nerve connections (synapses) in the brain have become overstretched (dissociated) by the healing edema. Repair crisis Convulsions, cramps, epileptic seizure or multiple seizures. Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner). The muscle groups most affected point to the conflict. For example, if the right adductors are affected in a right-handed patient, it is about the conflict of not being able to hold the partner (people other than the mother and child). Other organs and/or a brain relay can also play a role: If the person‘s speech is impaired, for instance, it is a shock-fright or speechlessness conflict in the repair phase. Memory gaps (absence seizures) can also lead to a diagnosis of stroke = separation conflict in the repair phase crisis. Questions When did the paralyses begin? (Conflict must have occurred before this). Accident, fall? Events in the family, relationships? What happened spiritually? What was going on in my head at the time? Did I want to run away? Was there someone I couldn’t hold? Conditioning from the family (bad accidents, falls)? Therapy See remedies for paralysis, p. 364. Hot stroke1 Same SBS as above or another SBS, for example, brain edema (repair phase) in the cerebral white matter > compression of the motor function in the adjacent cerebral cortex > motor skills cease to function > CM - “stroke.“ Examples a From the beginning, the right-handed patient was brought up strictly by his dominant mother. At his first opportunity, he fled from home. He is an only child and felt responsible for his mother. If he did not visit her often enough, he felt guilty = motor conflict, not being able to shake off his mother. Two years after his mother‘s death, the 59-year-old patient had a stroke, which he barely survived = healing of the motor conflict. Especially affected were the abductors of the arm and leg on the left mother/child-side. (Archive B. Eybl) a For twenty years, the 45-year-old, right-handed patient worked for a company against his will = motor conflict, not being able to go in the direction that he wants to go, not being able to get away from the company. Finally, he resigned so he could open his own business (lifelong dream), but it never came to that. On the very day the business opened, he had a stroke = healing of the motor conflict. Mainly affected is the right partner-side. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase: Hot hands and feet, increased appetite, possibly fever, dizziness, and headache - signs of vagotonia. The most frequent symptom is a one-sided paralysis of the arm or leg. The Hamer focus in the brain swells up edematous and compresses its surroundings. After years or decades of conflict activity, the repair phase comes to the drama of a stroke. The price to be paid for the long-lasting conflict activity is usually incomplete recovery, sometimes even the death of the patient due to the brain edema. If a CT scan is made, this edema is often wrongly diagnosed as “intracranial bleeding.“ Therapy In the acute phase: The conflict has been resolved. Support the healing! See: repair phase at the brain level, p. 67. After the acute phase: On the physical level, CM does the right thing: rehabilitation measures - physiotherapy, massage, swimming, etc. Practice, practice, practice, but with the right attitude! From a psychological point of view, the patient has indeed resolved one or more major conflicts; otherwise he wouldn‘t have had a stroke. However, the paralyses or other losses usually mean a new conflict for the patient, especially if rehabilitation progress begins slowly. For example, a motor conflict: “My left leg is worthless now!“ Genital conflict: “I can‘t even do anything in bed anymore.“ “My wife will start looking for somebody else!“ > Accept the situation as it is, but nevertheless, believe in healing and improvement. Resignation is just as bad as expectations that are too high. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 138, 139, 143, 144 E C T O Nervous System 95 Nervous System SBS of the Brain‘s Blood Vessels Stroke through brain hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage (intercerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage) Bleeding between cranial bones and dura mater (= epidural hemorrhage) and bleeding between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater (= subdural hemorrhage) usually happens by accident (trauma) = no conflict. A hemorrhage under the arachnoid mater (= subarachnoid hemorrhage) or in the brain itself (= intercerebral hemorrhage) usually occurs without external influences and is considered by conventional medicine to be the main cause of strokes (= hemorrhagic stroke). If a CT and MRI show that bleeding actually is present, the following conflicts may be present: Conflict Self-esteem conflict. According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Can’t count on the intellectual support of the family when something’s on the line or pressure from the family. Otherwise, one can’t understand why a member of the family has gone away (represents the exiting blood). Phase Cell degradation (necrosis) during conflict activity in the arterial or venous wall, unnoticed as a rule. Through recurring conflicts, the weak points (weak blood vessels) can rupture quite easily. E.g., during physical exertion (high blood pressure is associated with this) or during a brain repair phase in the affected region > bleeding into the brain. Bio. function Like always, it is only to be recognized in the normally short, two-phase course. However, the cerebral hemorrhaging comes from a chronic process. Here, it reflects the body, what is going wrong internally (psyche). Therapy Intensive care medical treatment (hospital) at the signs of a stroke, rehab afterwards. Find the conflict and resolve it to prevent further episodes. Losses of consciousness, states of absence (blackouts, absences), absence seizures, autonomic seizures, fainting fits (syncope) These sudden loss of consciousness for several seconds are more common in children. They can happen up to 100 times a day. Sometimes they are hardly noticed by the affected person. Most important to understand is that here, we are definitely dealing with a Healing crisis. Now it becomes more difficult: Finding out which SBS is causing the absence (“nothing comes from nothing”). Below are the possible SBSs, listed in descending order of frequency. Classified based on the symptoms: • Striated musculature – motor conflict. Note: Twitching, tics, cramps, restless legs, possibly local paralysis, see pp. 93, 363 The onset does not have to coincide with the seizure - the seizures usually occur during relaxation. • Myocardium (heart muscle), coronary arteries, coronary veins – conflict of feeling overwhelmed, male or female territorial conflict. Note: Cardiac arrhythmia, heartbeat too fast or too slow, possibly heart attacks pp. 150, 147, 196. • Ectodermal bladder mucosa, renal pelvis – territory marking conflict. Note: Bladder infections, sudden urge to urinate (overactive bladder), see p. 274. • Ectodermal stomach mucosa, bile ducts – territoryanger conflict. Note: Gastritis, heartburn, fat intolerance, stomach and biliary colic, see pp. 223, 254. Conflict The following conflict aspects could be resonating in the background: The situation is unbearable, one wants to ignore it. = Escape from reality into an “other dimension” where it is quiet and peaceful. Examples a A 15-year-old girl has been suffering from absences for years since a painful separation from her best friend as a nine-year-old (female territorial loss conflict - coronary veins, track: stress with friends or partners). When she has additional trouble at school, she would like nothing better than to “disappear.” At 16, while she slowly becomes a “woman,” her symptoms improve. There is a relapse when her parents have a falling out and separate. (Archive B. Eybl) a A retired nature-lover, who had worked in an office until recently, had a few losses of consciousN E W M E S O 96 Nervous System ness – diagnosed as “syncope.” Since the first, in which he totaled his car, he doesn’t dare drive anymore, although he had always loved driving with a passion. Conventional medicine couldn’t find a cause. From our point of view, his symptoms point to a persistent motor conflict: leg cramps, heavy twitching when falling asleep, jaw muscle tension. History: In the months before the car accident, he was under a lot pressure from a new boss. More than ever he felt “locked up”/robbed of his freedom in the office. = motor conflict “I want to get out of here, out into nature.” He resolves his conflict when he turns 60 and decides to reduce his hours at work. > Shortly afterward he had the accident. Another episode occurs in a similar constellation. He got his “being trapped conditioning” from his mother: She had gone on one trip after another after her husband died. Before that, she felt like she had been trapped her whole life. Therapy: Honoring his mother’s life and realizing that he is now fully free in his retirement. Transdermal magnesium, CBD oil. (Archive B. Eybl) Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. With children, success has been achieved by switching to ketogenic foods or a Stone Age diet. See also therapy for muscle spasms p. 370. Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) According to CM, this is an infection by viruses or bacteria (e.g., borelia). The fact is, however, that the brain is the only germ-free region of the body. According to Dr. Hamer, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) often leads to encephalitis. Conflict Depends on the part of the brain. Tissue Brain and/or meninges. Phase Repair phase: Every Hamer focus in the repair phase causes some sort of encephalitis, especially when several conflicts go into healing at the same time, which happens often (spring-cleaning of the brain). This has nothing to do with “infection.“ Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. See: repair phase at the brain level, p. 67.. Meningitis (encephalomeningitis) According to CM, meningitis is a viral or bacterial infection of the brain linings (meninges) and encephalomeningitis is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord and their meninges. The primary symptoms are a strong headache and stiff neck; the stiffness of the neck points to a healing cervical spine. Skull bones and cervical spine have the same conflict content. Conflict Moral intellectual self-esteem conflict. (For examples and phases, see p. 348). Phase Repair phase: The healing cranial bone or meninges builds tissue fluid, which lifts the linings of the brain (meninges) and presses them inwards toward the brain > strong headache. Note Further possible causes: Heat stroke causes similar symptoms (= real “heat-attack”). Intensified by syndrome. Difficult to differentiate from the normal repair phase of the brain. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. See repair phase at the brain level, p. 67.. Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) In the case of hydrocephalus, the ventricles for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (subarachnoid space) are widened because of a drainage disturbance caused by narrowing (stenosis), most often in the area of the 4th ventricle between the brainstem and the cerebellum. Conflict Active refugee or existential conflict and possibly more conflicts in the repair phase (= syndrome). Phase Repair phase: One or more Hamer focus(i) in the brainstem or cerebellum cause swelling due to a very intensive repair phase with syndrome. Therapy Resolve the refugee or existential conflict. Support the repair phase. See: repair phase at the brain level, p. 67. In CM, during a shunt surgery, a small plastic tube is implanted into the brain so that fluids can drain. Surely, this is the last option that should be chosen when nothing else helps. 97 Nervous System “Nerve tumor“ (neurofibroma)1 In the peripheral nervous system, the nerve projections (axons and dendrites) are bundles of nerve fibers. They are surrounded by protective myelin sheaths, formed of so-called Schwann cells. A neurofibroma is a “tumor“ of this connective tissue - like nerve sheath. Conflict Touch or pain conflict. Conflict of perceiving touch as painful, unpleasant, or undesirable. Explanation: The most intense contact is a pain attack (impact, strike, fall, etc.). Also, bone pain can start this SBS. To protect the organ, the organism can “turn off“ the peripheral sensitivity (= pain). Examples ➜ A woman is beaten by her husband. ➜ Someone hits their head in a very painful manner. a Neurofibroma on the spinal column: A 66-year-old, married retiree is on a ski vacation when one night, he suddenly feels violent pain in the area of the thoracic vertebrae. With an MRI, a hazelnutsized neurofibroma is diagnosed between the 7th and 8th thoracic vertebrae. Due to the dramatic pain, it is removed in a risky surgery. Conflict history: 2½ years ago, he climbs an apple tree to clean a birdhouse that he had once attached at a height of 3 meters. Unfortunately, he slips and falls onto a big branch, on his thoracic spine “one storey down,“ and from there, to the ground. In doing so, he suffers the “worst pain of his life“ = pain conflict. For two months, life is only bearable with the aid of pills = active-phase - growth of a neurofibroma. A little bump appears on his spine. Two and a half years later, the patient comes into healing, because he slowly forgets the accident. During his vacation, he distances himself from the place of the accident = beginning of the repair phase with degradation of the neurofibroma > inflammation, pain > surgery. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Thickening of the myelin sheath at the affected spot via cell division of Schwann cells = neurofibroma. Thickening of the isolation layer leads to pain numbness (anesthesia). It is difficult to distinguish between this kind of numbness to pain and deafness in the active-phase of a separation conflict (see p. 318). Bio. function The thickening of the nerve isolation eases the intensity of the pain or unwanted touching and blocks off the pain. Repair phase Restoration of sensitivity with possible over-sensitivity at the beginning. The neurofibromas remain or are removed by bacteria. What remains is a bump. Neuropathy According to CM - a nerve disease. According to NM: convulsions, paralysis = SBS of the muscles, see. pp. 362. Numbness, tingling, pins and needles = SBS of the epidermis, pp. 318. Questions Is the location actually inflamed (healing) or “quiet” (active phase)? What happened at the location before (strike, impact, accident, spiritual injury)? Which conditioning plays a role? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve if possible (if it isn’t already resolved). Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Guiding principle: “A protective coat shelters me. I only let those who are good to me get close to me!“ Externally, St. John‘s wort oil, meadow flower decoction. If inflamed, compresses of sour clay, pot-cheese, white cabbage leaves, etc. Lymph drainage massages. Hildegard of Bingen: oil of violet. OP is risky. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 45, 50 SBS of the Nerve Sheath Myelin sheath Touch or pain conflict Nerve cells O L D M E S O HFs in the cerebellum - topography still unknown 98 Eye EYE The eye is probably the most complex organ in the body. Tissue types from all three germ layers lie close together. All of the different structures of the eye serve a single purpose: sight. Dr. Hamer has discovered an unbelievable amount about the eye but much research remains to be done. According to the Berlin ophthalmologist Dr. Kwesi Anan Odum, (contakt: k.odum@ gomedus.de) the most intense emotional conflicts are reflected in the innermost regions of the eye, such as the optic nerve and the retina (increasing in intensity from the outer area inwards).

Examples a While his parents were on vacation, a child was sent to his grandparents = visual-separation conflict. Two days after the parents came back, he contracts conjunctivitis = healing. (Archive B. Eybl) a The patient‘s partner suddenly developed a passion for a certain hobby, which did not please her at all = visual-separation conflict - the partner has distanced himself from her. She has lost sight of him. When the matter became unimportant to her, she contracted conjunctivitis = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 119, 132 SBS of the Eyelid/Conjunctiva E C T O HFs sensory function - far top of cerebral cortex 99 Eye a For the last three weeks, the 49-year-old, right-handed patient has been suffering from severe conjunctivitis of both eyes. Conflict history: In the patient‘s family, everyone used to join together on All Souls‘ Day, which the patient found to be very pleasant. Unfortunately, for the last eight years, this meeting has no longer taken place = visual-separation conflict. Three weeks ago, for the first time, the All Souls‘ meeting took place again. The patient was very happy to see everybody again = beginning of the repair phase. His eye doctor had treated him in vain with antivirus medicine; in the hospital, he had been treated with cortisone. He is relieved as he begins to understand the psychic interconnections. a A 55-year-old man has just returned from vacation and has to go on another trip. He would rather stay at home with his wife, who is suffering from headache and dizziness = visual-separation conflict. On the last day of the trip, his eyelids become very swollen, so much so that he has to go to the eye emergency care as soon as he gets home = beginning of the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell disintegration (ulcer) in the conjunctiva or in the eyelid. Numbness to pain (hypoesthesia), dry eyes, scales. Bio. function The person, who has been lost from sight, should be forgotten temporarily through numbness and insensitivity. Repair phase Conjunctivitis, eyelid inflammation, restoration, pain, reddening, itching - actually a squamous cell cancer. Note The conjunctiva can also become inflamed through mechanical irritation, strong sun radiation or because of dry eyes - adaptation reaction. Consider parent/child, partner side or local conflict. Allergic conjunctivitis is again “started“ by a trigger. E.g., someone lost sight of his love in spring, at the time of elevated flower pollen levels. > Seasonal pollen allergy. Questions Do other family members suffer from conjunctivitis? (Indication of family conditioning). Was this the first occurrence? If no: Determine the cause at the time. Which visual separation stress did I have before the inflammation? Who did I lose “out of sight?” Change of location, a move? Conflict with a family member/partner/friend? If recurring: What was stressful before the current episode? What was stressful before the last episode? (Work out similar situations). Why do I deal with these situations so poorly? (Determine conditioning, examine the childhood, infancy, birth and life of the ancestors after the separation situation). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Accompany the repair phase and avoid relapse. Find out where the love is, you will find the solution there. Cold compresses and possibly eye baths with decoction of eyebright or horsetail. Lymph drainage massage Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 3, 4, 11. MMS internally. Colloidal silver instilling internally and externally in the eye. Avoid sun and wind. Ingest Kanne Bread Drink (probiotic beverage). Hildegard of Bingen: Rebtropfen and Franconian Wine special recipe. Apply antibacterial eye drops, if the repair phase becomes too intense (painful). MC (molluscum contagiosum) Same SBS as above. MC causes wart-like growths on upper and inner lid of the eye with a central dipping. Phase Repair phase - Persistent repair of the upper lid caused by a visual-separation conflict. Excessive repair > growth of warts. Therapy Questions: see above. Determine the conflict and resolve it in real life, if possible, so that no new growths appear. Guiding principle: “I am bound to all of the people that I like. An invisible band binds us, even when we are not together.“ Surgical removal, if the warts are mechanically or aesthetically disturbing. Pterygium Same SBS as above (see p. 98). A pterygium is a growth on the conjunctiva that spreads from the edge toward the pupil and can restrict vision. Phase Persistent repair of the conjunctiva Therapy Questions: see p. 99. Find conflicts and triggers, OP (outpatient) if the visual field is disturbed. Nevertheless, work on conflict resolution, otherwise it can grow back. E C T O 100 Eye Pinguecula Same SBS as above (see p. 98). Yellowish colored thickening of the conjunctiva on the inner or outer corner of the eye (lid division). Phase Persistent repair of the conjunctiva Therapy Questions: see p. 99. Also in CM, OP is seldom considered because patches only interfere mostly aesthetically. SBS of the Fatty Tissue Wart-like fatty deposits on the eyelid (xanthelasma) Conflict Self-esteem conflict regarding the aesthetics of the eye or the face. One doesn’t feel attractive enough. One wrangles with their appearance. See also p. 332. Example ➜ A woman examines her face in the mirror and notices that she has wrinkles around her eyes. Conflict-active Unnoticed, local degradation (necrosis) of the fatty tissue. Repair phase Persistent repair: Reconstruction, i.e., building up fatty tissue. As with bones, the same happens with fatty tissue: Repair is generous and additional material is added (luxury group). Development of xanthelasma. Bio. function Increase in the fat covering. In the eyes of Mother Nature, “being fat is good and attractive.“ An animal that succeeds in adding fat is successful and desirable. An animal gets thin on its own when it becomes old and weak. Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Danger of a vicious circle, because the xanthelasma itself is regarded as disturbing and disfiguring. Questions When did the xanthelasma appear? What was stressing me at the time? Why don’t I like myself? Why is my appearance so important? How do/did my ancestors think about their appearance? Were they also fixated on their external appearance? (Determine conditioning). What remains of life, the inner life or the body? What comes after death? What counts then? Therapy Determine the conflict or trigger and resolve it in real life, if possible, so that no new growths appear. Guiding principle: “I am satisfied with my looks and my eyes!“ “The brightness of the soul is more important than my appearance!“ “Milky Way“ therapy. Bach flowers: larch, crab apple. Surgical removal as necessary. N E W M E S O Lacrimal glands - excretory ducts Visual-Recognition Lacrimal glands Visual-Chunk Conflict 101 Eye SBS of the Lacrimal Glands Watery eyes (epiphora), Lacrimal gland tumor, lacrimal gland inflammation (dacryoadenitis)1 Each eye has one lacrimal gland, about the size of a hazelnut, and 20-30 small (accessory) lacrimal glands. The tear fluids they produce moisten, nourish, and cleanse, the conjunctiva. Conflict Visual-chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). To be unable to grasp (right eye) or to get rid of something (left eye). Simply: You cannot see something you would like to see or seeing something you don‘t want to see. Examples a A single, young woman suffers on the one hand, because she must regularly visit her aging parents, and on the other hand, an old friend at the same time - chunk conflict of wanting to get rid of the old friend (something uncomfortable) > cell division in the left lacrimal gland > weeping left eye. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 291) a A woman commutes to work on her bicycle. For the last 10 years her left eye always starts to water for about 10 minutes after she passes a certain location. Cause: 10 years before, her son, who was 7 at the time, had a bad bicycle accident at that very location. As “therapy” the woman assures herself that the situation is over and everything has turned out well. Since then, her eye doesn’t water anymore. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor (adeno-ca) of secretory quality on the lacrimal glands. Bio. function With more tear fluid, the sight impression can be better salivated and better ingested (or gotten rid of). Repair phase Inflammation of the lacrimal glands, tubercular-necrotic caseation of the tumor, purulent tears, pain, and possibly fever, night sweats. Questions What stressed me before the inflammation appeared? Which conditioning allows me to feel this way? Therapy By inflammation: the conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase and avoid relapse. Apply cold compresses and curd packs. Lymph drainage massages. MMS. Possibly antibiotics or surgical removal as necessary. Drying up of the tear fluid (“cystic fibrosis” of the lacrimal glands, xerophthalmia, Sjögren syndrome, dry eye syndrome (DES)) Same SBS as above. For other causes of dry eyes, see p. 103. Phase Recurring-conflict - persistent repair. More and more glandular tissue breaks down and is replaced by inferior scar tissue > a drying up of the tear (lacrimal) fluids > dry eyes. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the remaining glandular function is preserved or the lacrimal glands can regenerate. Eye baths with eyebright, black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) and horsetail. Lymph drainage massage to stimulate fluid production. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 18, 33 E N D O 102 Eye Styes (hordeolum) and chalazion In the upper and lower eyelids, next to the eyelashes, lie the sebaceous glands: the so-called glands of Moll (which service the eyelids), the glands of Zeis (which are sweat glands), and the Meibomian glands (which prevent tears from drying up). An oily film prevents tear fluids from passing the edge of the lid. (The oil repels the watery tear fluid.) Conflict Visual-disfigurement conflict. Damaged integrity of the eye or conflict that the eye is drying out. Examples ➜ A child sees the constant quarrelling of his parents - visual-disfigurement. ➜ A construction worker is hit in the eye by a metal splinter. ➜ Verbal attack with regard to appearance or the eye. a A city girl sees a mouse torn to pieces by a cat - visual-disfigurement. During the repair phase, the girl suffers from a stye. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Thickening of the outer layer of the eyelid and enlargement of the Moll, Zeis or Meibomian glands (sebaceous gland cancer). Increased production of sebum. Bio. function Thickening of the corium/dermis of the eyelid leads to better protection of the eye. With more sebum, the eye can be better oiled. Repair phase Inflamed-tubercular-caseating degradation via fungi and bacteria, pain = stye. Recurring-conflict: Inflammation with inclusions of connective tissue (granulating inflammation) - chalazion. Note Consider “handedness” (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner). Questions Which sight was intolerable to me? (Determine the situation). Why can’t I deal with it? Which event from my childhood does the situation remind me of? What brought me into the repair phase? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Accompany the repair phase and avoid relapse. If it is recurring, resolve the conflict and conditioning. Cold compresses. If acute: MMS, colloidal silver internally and instill in the eye externally. Bach flowers: if chronic, crab apple. Cayce: if chronic, hot castor oil packs. Compresses and possibly eye baths with eyebright, chamomile, and horsetail. Smear with honey. Lymph drainage massages. Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 3, 9, 11. SBS of the Dermis Sebaceous & sweat glands Visual-Disfigurement Conflict, Conflict: Fear that the Eye Will Dry Out O L D M E S O HFs in the cerebellum - topography still unknown 103 Eye SBS of the Tear Gland Ducts Inflammation of the lacrimal gland excretory ducts1 The main lacrimal gland‘s 10 -12 excretory ducts lead into the eyes from the upper sides. Conflict According to Dr. Hamer: Wanting to be seen or to not be seen. According to Roberto Barnai: Separation conflict, not wanting to see someone or something anymore. Example a A woman suffers under her intrusive mother-in-law. She is constantly interfering in her life. = conflict, she doesn’t want to see her mother-in-law anymore. When she gets the matter off her chest, by speaking to her husband about it, she experiences inflammation of the lacrimal glands (tear ducts). (Archive Roberto Barnai). Conflict-active Cell disintegration (ulcer), painful tension in the tear ducts > channel widening. Bio. function Better through flow of the tear fluid due to larger diameter > better sight. Repair phase Restoration of cell loss. Inflammation, possibly swelling of the ducts, with accompanying blockage of tear fluid > can give the impression of a lacrimal gland infection. Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Accompany the repair phase and avoid relapse. Cold compresses, curd and flaxseed packs, lymph drainage massages. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 123, 136 E C T O HFs sensory function - top of cerebral cortex Dry eyes Most often caused by a “modern“ lifestyle, sometimes by conflicts: The paper-thin film of tear fluid consists of three components: A layer of mucus at the bottom, an aqueous layer in the middle and a layer of oil at the top. • Meibomian glands: They produce the oil layer and play the leading role when it comes to dry eyes. The oil prevents the evaporation of the water layer and forms a perfectly smooth surface for the refraction of light. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the most common cause of dry eyes. The decline in glandular function is likely a part of the normal aging process. It is also possible that a persistent conflict is involved (see p. 101) > thickening of the oil or blockage of the glandular ducts > loss of glandular tissue. Therapy: Warming the eyelids (warm water) to liquefy the thickened oil again – followed by careful glandular squeezing with the fingers – then cleaning of the eyelid edges with cosmetic tissue/cotton swabs to remove any greasy crust. > dry eyes (p. 102). • Side effects of medication: In particular, blood pressure medications, “the pill“ (birth control), diuretics, anti-depressants, vasoconstrictive eye drops, etc. • Age-related estrogen deficiency: One of the signs of aging is increased dehydration of the body due to a drop in hormone levels (especially estrogen). The mucous membranes are affected. • Working on the computer and watching television cause a decreased rate of blinking > dry eyes for lack of moistening. • General sympathicotonia or deprivation of sleep, see p. 13 > dry eyes (moist eyes in vagotonia). • Not enough of the “charms of nature“: light, water, wind, etc. • Lack of physical movement: reducing the general metabolic rate, including the tear apparatus. • Conjunctiva in conflict-active phase: feeling of dry eyes (p. 98). • Lacrimal glands in persistent repair (p. 101). Tear sacs, swollen eyelids, dark circles Possible causes: • Unhealthy, stressful lifestyle: Lack of sleep, alcohol and nicotine abuse, lack of vital substances (nutrition). • Under (hypo) or over (hyper) functioning of the thyroid gland: SBS of the basic tissue (p. 141) or of the excretory ducts (p. 144): Doughy skin especially on eyelids, hands and feet = myxoedema. > On the basis of the symptoms, blood values, ultrasound, clarify whether an SBS of the thyroid gland is running. > Conflict resolution, thyroid measures. • Active kidney collecting tubules: Water retention tendency (p. 266). • Circles under the eyes can indicate liver (lack of detoxification), prostate, bladder or anemia. 104 Eye Because of their vulnerability and importance, the eye is protected with two shielding systems: the inner shield is the iris musculature and the outer shield is composed of the upper and lower eyelids. • According to CM, the voluntary (striated) eye-closing muscle (orbicularis oculi) is responsible for closing the eyes. Unconscious closing of the eyes (blinking) functions through a special nerve connection to the brainstem. • Two muscles are responsible for opening the eyes. According to CM, the superior and inferior tarsal muscles are involuntary muscles, which unconsciously open the eye when we blink. The voluntary muscles, levator palpebrae superior and inferior, allow us to deliberately or consciously open our eyes or hold them open. Inverted eyelid (entropion, trichiasis) The task of the eye closing muscle (orbicularis oculi) is to close the eyelids. When this muscle is under increased tension, the eyelashes can turn inward and rub painfully against the connective tissue (entropion). Conflict Not being allowed to, not being able to or not wanting to close the eyes. Examples a A nearly 80-year-old, former entrepreneur, must earn extra money by working as a night watchman despite his age. His duty usually lasts the entire night - conflict of not being able to close one‘s eyes. When he comes home in the morning, his eyes drop closed from tiredness and he sleeps for a few hours. In the last 5 years of his career as a night watchman, an entropion has developed. The lower lids of both eyes have inverted, so that the eyelashes rub painfully on the connective tissue, which then becomes inflamed. When he reaches the age of 80, the patient really retires and can sleep every morning as long as he wants. The tension of the lids relaxes and the entropion retreats without a trace. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ A long-distance driver must drive every night. ➜ A welder is distracted and looks into the glaring light. Tissue/Phase Eyelid-closing muscle (orbicularis oculi) - voluntary (striated) muscle - following completed repair or during persistent repair > increase of tension > eyelashes invert. Questions When did the symptoms arise? (Conflict must have happened before this). Worsening or getting better? SBS of the Eyelid Muscles Eyelid-opening m. Not being allowed to, not being able to, or not wanting to, hold the eyes open Eyelid-closing m. Not being allowed to, not being able to, or not wanting to close the eyes E C T O E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown 105 Eye (Getting better > conflict situation is getting better; getting worse > conflict situation is getting worse). Better or worse sleep in general? Sufficient sleep? Which situations cause stress? Is it better on vacation? (If yes, the conflict lies somewhere in daily life). Which conditioning pushes me to it? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Guiding principles: “There‘s no harm in a little nap.“ “When I‘m tired, I just lie down and close my eyes.“ According to Richard Wilford: Dissolve saffron in milk and make an eye compress. Compress of tea made from horsetail, comfrey, chicory, or pot marigold (calendula). CM - OP if the conflict resolution fails and gentle measures do not help. Outward-turned eyelid (ectropium) Diminished tension in the eye-closing muscle leads to a limp, outward hanging lid (ectropium). This leads to weeping eyes because the tear fluids can no longer drain. Conflict Not being allowed to, not being able to, or not wanting to close the eyes. (For examples, see above). Phase Conflict-active phase: Muscle degeneration and paralysis > the eyelid falls limp toward the outside. Possibly incomplete closure (lagophthalmus) of the eye due to paralysis of the orbicularis muscle. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: see above. Hildegard of Bingen: Lay fresh-from-the-morning-dew rose petals on the closed eye. Compresses or eye-baths of tea made from horsetail, eyebright, comfrey, or chicory. CM - OP, if the conflict resolution fails and gentle measures do not help. Drooping eyelids (Ptosis) Affected is the voluntary muscle, levator palpebrae. Conflict Self-esteem conflict of not being able to, not being allowed to, or not wanting to, keep the eye open. To have overlooked something. Not having been wide awake. Example ➜ A mother tells her child, “Keep your eyes open! Next time, you‘re going to get hit by a car!“ ➜ Somebody has to work at night and they are so tired that they cannot keep their eyes open. Tissue Eyelid lifting muscle, levator palpebrae - voluntary (striated) muscle - cerebral cortex - ectoderm (nerve supply = innervation) and cerebral white matter (nutrition). Conflict-active Drooping eyelid caused by paralysis or deterioration of the levator palpebrae muscle. Repair phase Restoration, eyelid tremor in the repair phase crisis. In persistent repair possibly incomplete eye closure. Bio. function Strengthening the muscles, so that the eye can be held open at decisive moments in the future (luxury group). Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. The drooping of both eyelids can sometimes be caused by a general reduction in the sympathetic nervous system. In this case, it may not be an eyelid conflict, but, for example, a thyroid hyperfunction (see p. 141). Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict occurred shortly before this). What have I overlooked or carelessly ignored during this time? Was I reprimanded or can I not forgive myself for something. What has occupied my mind since then? Why do I react sensitively to this kind of stress? Conditioning from the family? Who acts in the same way? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I forgive myself for having overlooked something.“ “I only have two eyes.“ “I go to sleep and wake up when it suits me.“ For further measures, see below. Jittering eyelid (eyelid tremor) Possible causes 1. Repair phase crisis of the orbicularis oculi muscle (see inward and outward-turned lids). 2. Repair phase crisis of the levator palpebrae muscle and/or the musculus tarsalis (see above). Example a A 49-year-old, right-handed patient works for a gynecologist. Her working day starts at 7 a.m. and E C T O E N D O 106 lasts until 10 p.m. Sometimes she has no lunch break because there is so much to do in the office. The patient is suffering from an extreme deficiency of rest and sleep - conflict of not being able to close one‘s eyes. During this period, the eyelid tremor starts up: during quiet moments, the lashes of the right upper lid (partner side) pull together trembling = repair phase crisis. It is the right eye, because her boss is responsible for the shortage of sleep and rest. Since then, this symptom appears again every time the patient gets too little sleep and rest. (Archive B. Eybl) Therapy If the symptoms return, determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Magnesium chloride (MgCl2 ) foot bath. Rose leaves taken as tea or applied externally as decoction-compress. Internally: Magnesium, calcium, vitamin B complex, Schuessler Cell Salt no. 7. Eye The involuntary muscles of the iris (= “old intestinal muscles”) form the eye‘s inner aperture system. They regulate the amount of light that reaches the retina. There are two opposing players here: the pupil closing muscle (sphincter pupillae) and the pupil dilating muscle (dilatator pupillae). The iris sphincter muscle is parasympathically innervated. It becomes tense during rest, thereby narrowing the sight opening. Tired and relaxed people have small pupils. The task of this muscle is to choke off the incoming light when it is too bright. The iris dilating muscle is sympathetically innervated. It becomes tense when the individual is active. People, who are fully awake, under stress, and/or under the influence of drugs have large pupils. The task of this muscle is to widen the sight opening so that more light falls on the retina when it is dark. From their tasks we can draw conclusions about their conflict content. Night blindness, excessive pupil constriction (miosis) Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Right eye: Too much light. Not getting the chunk because it is too bright. Left eye: Too much light. Not being able to get rid of something one does not want because it is too bright. Not being able to avoid something unpleasant or dangerous because it is too bright. In a figurative sense: You want to hide something from the eyes of others (under the cover of darkness). For some reason you dread the public eye. Not wanting to see the dark side. Fear of dark side in oneself or in other people. Examples ➜ Too much light due to an actual brightness-shock, such as being blinded by the sun or a welding machine. ➜ A simple laborer falls in love with a rich industrialist‘s daughter but she rejects him because he has too little to offer > not being able to have one‘s dream woman. The right eye is affected. SBS of the Iris Musculature E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown Pupillary Constrictor Muscle Chunk conflict Too much light Pupillary Dilator Muscle Chunk conflict Too little light 107 Eye Weeping eyes (epiphora) Possible causes • General vagotonia > increased flow of tears. • Mechanical irritation, wind, foreign bodies > the body tries to “rinse away“ the foreign body. • Conjunctiva or cornea in the repair phase (see pp. 98, 110). • Lacrimal glands in the active-phase due to increased production of tear fluid = dacryorrhea (see p. 101). • Meibomian glands: After too many conflicts, the sebum remain limited > too thin layer of fat> “overflowing“ of the tear fluid (see p. 102). • Obicularis oculi - Striated portions in an active-phase: the tears cannot be transported (see above). • Lacrimal gland excretory ducts in the active-phase. (see p. 103). Therapy Depending on the cause: Compresses or eye-baths of tea made from eyebright and yarrow. ➜ A man hides that he has served jail time for theft from his employer. He is afraid that he wouldn‘t have a chance with the company otherwise. The matter comes to light nevertheless > too much light on the past. The left eye is affected. Conflict-active Constriction of the pupil (myosis) due to constant tension in the iris sphincter muscle, possibly night blindness. Bio. function Narrowing of the pupil, so that less light comes in. Reducing the brightness so that the “chunk“ can be taken better or what one rejects can be better eliminated. Repair phase Normalization of the pupil size. Repair crisis Convulsive pupil behavior. Questions When did the symptoms begin? What do I want to hide/keep secret in my life? Which “dark side(s)” am I not ready to face? Does this tendency lie in the family? Determine the exact conditioning. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Over-sensitivity to light, daytime blindness (hemeralopia), excessive widening of the pupils (mydriasis), unevenly shaped pupils Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Right eye: too little light. Not getting what one covets or wants because of the darkness. Left eye: too little light. Not being able to get rid of what one does not want because it is too dark, or not being able to prevent something unpleasant or dangerous because it is too dark. Frequently figuratively: Cannot put himself in the right light. One gets too little attention. Cannot see or find the spiritual, brightness and luminosity. Example ➜ At the job center, a hard-working, highly-skilled worker with years of experience must compete for a job with an unskilled worker - conflict that too little light will be shed on his good qualifications. Conflict-active Constant tension of the pupil-widening muscle > pupil widening (mydriasis). Over-sensitivity to light > light shyness, daytime blindness, the pupils possibly become unevenly shaped. Bio. function Widening of the pupil, so that more light comes in. Therefore the “chunk“ can be better received or what one rejects can be better eliminated. Repair phase Normalization of the pupil size. Repair crisis Convulsive pupil behavior. Questions When did the symptoms begin? Were did I not get enough attention? Where did I feel like I was standing on the sidelines? Was I given enough attention as a child? Further conditioning (similar parents, events, etc.)? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. E N D O 108 Crossed eyes (strabismus) Strabismus comes in varying forms: inwardly crossed eyes (esotropia), wall-eye (exotropia) and vertical deviation (hypertropia). One or more of the six extraocular muscles are affected: • The upper straight muscle (superior rectus) pulls the eye upwards. • The lower straight muscle (inferior rectus) pulls the eye downwards. • The inner straight muscle (medial rectus) pulls the eye inwards. • The outer straight muscle (lateral rectus) pulls the eye outwards. • The upper diagonal muscle (superior oblique) rolls the eye inwards and lowers it. • The lower diagonal muscle (inferior oblique) rolls the eye outwards and lifts it. Examples • Parents take their 4-year-old son to the zoo and they come to the tiger cage. The path leads through a kind of cave in which the animals are behind bars. At the entrance, the little child suddenly becomes frightened. Thus, the mother takes him in her arms and carries him in - motor-eye muscle-conflict of not wanting to see the tiger. He clutches onto his mother and turns his eyes to the side, so he does not to have to look at the tiger. After the visit to the zoo, the boy is suddenly afraid of the dark. When he watches television, he avoids animal programs. A few days after the zoo visit, the parents notice that the boy often rolls his eyes uncontrollably and has developed a nervous tick (= repair phase - repair phase crisis): he throws his head back and to the left. At the same time, he turns his eyes away. The boy himself finds the tick disturbing, especially when watching television. The parents contact an eye clinic but the symptoms disappear on their own after three weeks. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ A child‘s parents get a divorce. The baby vainly searches for his mom or dad > outward strabismus or wall-eyes. ➜ A child is taken from his little spot right next to his mother and put to bed in the nursery too soon. He is afraid and searches with his eyes for his mother > strabismus. ➜ A baby has to watch, as he is crying and screaming, while the doctor gives him a shot. ➜ An infant lies in an incubator and must suffer from the glare of an incandescent light. Inwardly crossed-eye(s) (esotropia) Conflict Not wanting to see somebody or an unbearable situation. Not being able to escape a hopeless situation - the escape inwards! Those who are oriented inwards are usually affected here (receptive or introverted types). Example ➜ A child‘s parents separate. The mother/child eye is fixated for example on the mother - she is still there. The partner eye turns inward “to take the father into himself.“ Phase Persistent-active conflict of the inner straight or outer straight muscle. Outwardly crossed eye(s)/Wall-eye (exotropia) Conflict One misses someone or something and looks for him or it with the affected eye. “The outward search!“ Not being able or wanting to see someone or something. Example ➜ A child‘s parents argue constantly - “First the parents diverge and then the eyes.“ (Dr. Kwesi Odum). The wandering eye looks for the father in the distance, for example. SBS of the Outer Eye Muscles Extraocular Muscles Not wanting to see an unbearable situation anymore or not being able to escape someone/thing > Esotropia Missing someone/thing and “searching” for them/it with the eyes > Exotropia E C T O E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown Eye 109 Eye Note The affected are usually outward-oriented (leader or extroverted) types. Phase Persistent-active conflict of the inner straight or outer straight muscles. Note The outer upright muscle is linked to the SBS of the kidney collecting tubules. (p. 226) > active kidney collecting tubules, for example, of the left kidney > pulling of the left eye outwards = diagnostic clue! The eye can be brought into the correct alignment consciously. (In this case, there is usually not a sight conflict but rather a refugee and existential conflict). Vertical deviation (hypertropia), rolling of the eye(s) (zyklotropia) Conflict Not being able, allowed or wanting to see upwards or downwards. Not being able, allowed or wanting to see inwardly down or outwardly up or rolling the eye. In practice: Not being able or wanting to see someone or something located above or below. Fear that something dangerous will come from above or below (hypertropia). Example ➜ Hypertropia can mean that the child misses it’s mother or father (looking up from below). ➜ While playing, a boy is hit on the head by a tree branch (danger from above) > hypertropia. ➜ A child sees some lying injured on the ground (fear from below) > hypertropia. Phase Persistent-active conflict of the upper/lower straight muscle or upper/lower diagonal muscle. Questions on crossed eyes As always with children, we have to consider the family system. Children often carry symptoms for their parents. Were there symptoms at the same time that the eyes crossed? (Indication of the conflict’s cause). In what direction does the eye cross? On the mother/child side or the partner side? (Indication of the person involved). When did the crossing happen for the first time? (The conflict must have happened before this). What happened at this time? (You may want to work with your calendar, diary). What affected the child? (E.g., parental quarrelling/divorce, stress with their teacher or in preschool). What was affecting the parents? (Relationship, quarrelling in the family, stress at work). Does the crossing get better during school breaks/vacation? (Then the problem lies in daily life, e.g., school). Is it worse during the day or in the evening? (During the day is an indication that preschool, school is stressful). Evenings is an indication that family, being at home is stressful). Recurring dreams? (Indication of conflict). Ask the child: What would you like the most? (Possible indication of the issue). Who would you like to have here/go away? (Indication of the issue). Therapy for strabismus Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Very important: eye training (Books by Leo Angart, Mirsakarim Norbekov. See bibliography.). Spending time in nature instead of in front of the television or cell phone (in nature, the eye follows natural impulses > the eye muscles will be put to use in a healing way). Eye patches or bandages over the eyes only make sense for children and then, only where there is weakness in vision (amblyopia). Patches carry with them the danger of follow-up conflicts due to disfigurement and sight hindrance (it is better if they are only worn at home). An OP should be evaluated very critically, for instance, in order to prevent amblyopia. Nystagmus (dancing eyes) With nystagmus, the eyeball twitches involuntarily outwardly or inwardly (most common), away from its correct position. Sometimes upward or downward twitching is possible as well. Sometimes the nystagmus happens in combination with eye crossing - not surprisingly, since both symptoms represent different phases of the extraocular muscles’ SBS. Conflict For a nystagmus on a horizontal plane: Unable to see a danger from the side. Something from the side causing fear - I have to at least control it out of the corner of my eye. See also the conflict descriptions for crossed eyes. Phase Repair phase, persistent repair of the/an outer eye muscle(s). Bio. function Whatever is scaring someone should always be kept in sight. Note When someone has crossed eyes, after the conflict is resolved, nystagmus may appear - a good sign. However, when nystagmus lasts longer than three months, this means that the conflict is persistent > find and resolve the conflict. Therapy Determine the conflict, conditioning and belief systems to bring the persistent repair to an end. (See above for questions and therapy advice). E C T O E N D O 110 Eye SBS of the Cornea Thinning of the cornea (keratoconus), inflammation of the cornea (keratitis), corneal clouding1 Conflict Strong visual-separation conflict. To lose sight of someone. Example ➜ A single woman‘s son moves away from home. ➜ A schoolgirl‘s favorite teacher is transferred. a A man has a major fight with his brother. He knows that their good relationship has now come to an end. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell disintegration (ulcer) of the cornea. No pain. In persistent conflict activity, this can lead to a keratoconus = central curving forward and thinning of the cornea. Usually both eyes are affected, and it is almost always associated with myopia, because the light is refracted in excess. Bio. function The one who is out of sight should be forgotten temporarily. Repair phase Inflammation of the cornea, clouding of the cornea. Restoration of the tissue, pain, swelling, reddening. CM: “mycotic, bacterial or viral keratitis.“ In persistent repair: Arcus senilis/arcus lipoides, cornea band degeneration, iron deposits (hematocornea), copper deposits (Wilson’s disease), clouding caused by the connective tissue (corneal pannus). Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Questions For keratoconus: Diagnosed when? (Conflict must have happened relatively long ago and still be active). Who did I lose out of sight? (Separation/going away/death of family member, partner, friend)? Why did that affect me so badly? (Conditioning: childhood, birth, pregnancy) Which family member is similar to me in this regard? (Examine for conditioning). For inflammation of the cornea: What happened that was good, shortly before the eye became inflamed? (E.g., reunion with someone I missed, good news, a good conversation) What separation was I suffering from before and since when? (To estimate the length of the repair phase, date precisely). Was this the first corneal inflammation of my life? (If no, also determine the conflict at that time - important for a permanent solution). Separation conditioning? (Infancy, birth)? With regard to the separations, which conditioning is there in the family? Therapy In cases of inflammation of the cornea and corneal clouding, the conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. In case of recurrences, determine the conflict and conditioning.

According to CM, the infection is caused by chlamydia. Chronic inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea. It is a very common disease in developing countries. Increased scarring that often leads to blindness (pannus trachomatosus or scar entropion). Phase Persistent repair or condition after many recurrences.

Losing sight of someone. Examples ➜ A woman is forced to move to a retirement home. She misses everything: her home, her personal possessions, her cat, her neighbors. a A patient‘s wife dies after 42 years of marriage. (Archive B. Eybl) a The marriage of a right-handed mother of two children ends. During the divorce proceedings, her husband arrogantly tells her that he plans to take the children away from her and that she won‘t be able to prevent it because he has enough money to pay for the best lawyer - visual-separation conflict, fear of losing sight of the children > sclerosis of the left lens. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer) a A grown man feels like his mother is protecting him like a child. One day he says to her, “Mother, I already have my own family, you don’t have to treat me like this anymore.” Afterwards, his mother develops a cataract. – She lost her role. (Archive: Kwesi Odum) Conflict-active Cell degradation, no pain. Due to the thinning of the crystalline cells of the lens, more light can enter the eye. Bio. function The one who is moving out of sight can be seen better and for a longer period. Repair phase Restoration (cell growth) of the lost substance, which has occurred within the lens. Temporary clouding due to this (CM, = “cataracts“) = sign of healing and repair. Note In persistent repair and because of recurrences, the lens gets cloudier and cloudier because the missing substance is replaced by inferior (scar) tissue. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother-child or partner). Artificial light plays a possible role in the cloudiness of the lenses (see macular degeneration). Therapy Questions: see above. Determine the conflict and conditioning and if there is persistent repair; resolve it in real life. The lense will only regenerate itself if the conflict is truly addressed and remains resolved. Without profound changes in one’s/the patient’s consciousness and life, an improvement isn’t to be expected.

The choroid is basically intestinal mucosa tissue. The iris muscles (= old intestinal muscle) is coated with differently pigmented “intestinal mucosa” (different eye colors). Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Not being able to sufficiently identify what one wants (right eye), or not being able to get rid of seeing something unpleasant (left eye). Simply stated: one would like to see something but cannot (right eye); or one wants to avoid seeing something undesirable (left eye). Example a A 17-year-old apprentice in the chemical industry goes to get sandwiches for his coworkers. While he is gone, his workplace is blown up by an explosion. When he comes back, he sees body parts lying all around. Two of his coworkers are dead and one is badly injured - conflict of not wanting to see the situation or wanting to see his coworker undamaged. Five months later, as he gets over the incident, both eyes become inflamed - beginning of the repair phase. In the hospital, he is diagnosed with a choroiditis in both eyes. Since the condition does not improve with cortisone, the doctors recommend chemotherapy. At this point, the family becomes familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. The young man gradually stops using the cortisone. After 8 months in the repair phase, everything returns to normal again. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 6-year-old boy is playing alone in his room as he gets the idea of pulling a plastic box over his head. Unfortunately, the box gets stuck and the child becomes afraid because it is dark in there - conflict of not being able to capture the coveted thing (right eye). He screams but his near-deaf grandmother in the next room cannot hear him because she is watching television. In the repair phase, a choroid inflammation of the right eye is diagnosed. Recurrences occur again and again. For instance, the child always becomes afraid when a sweater is pulled over his head. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Doctor Hamer, p. 171) Conflict-active Growth of a choroid tumor (adeno-ca), a tumor of the iris covering (CM: iris nevus, iris melanoma), a tumor of the ciliary body or the growth of so-called pupillary seam nodules (sarcoidosis: in principle, little intestinal polyps). Bio. function To produce more intestinal cells in order to be able to take up or eliminate the wanted or unwanted thing in a better way. Repair phase Tubercular caseating deterioration of the tumor. This process is called choroid tuberculosis or choroiditis. Tuberculosis lesion = white spots behind the retina which disappear over time. Caverns may remain. Inflammation of the iris, inflammation of the ciliary body, swelling, pain. Questions When did the symptoms begin? When was the tumor diagnosed? (Estimate the beginning of the growth - possibly a few months before - conflict must have happened at this point > count back the months). At the time, what couldn’t I bear looking at anymore or didn’t get to see anymore? What was going on in my life at the time/what changed? Why did this affect me so much? (Determine conditioning from ancestors). Therapy In the case of a choroid tumor: Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “There is a reason that it had to be like that.“ “One can only learn from it.“ Attempts by CM to use radiation is risky and so is an operation.

In extreme repair phases, possibly cortisone and/or antibiotics. 1 See Dr. Hamer, GNM® Brain-Nerve Charts, HN II, columns 1 and 2 E N D O Eye 113 Eye Vitreous opacity, increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma), posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and bleeding, floaters1 In CM, the common German term “grüner Star“ (“green stare”) is used interchangeably with glaucoma and describe various conditions of the eye, especially the optic nerve - that sometimes, but not necessarily, are accompanied by increased pressure within the eye (“primary open-angle, narrow-angle, angle-closure and normal tension glaucoma”). In Dr. Hamer‘s opinion, the raised inner pressure comes from an edema in the vitreous body. In accordance with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, we differentiate between the clouding of the vitreous body (= “green stare“) in the active conflict stage and increased inner pressure (= glaucoma) due to an edema of the vitreous body during the repair phase. Conflict Fear-of-rear-attacks from “bad guys” (robbers, rapists, tax authorities, teachers, classmates, boss). Examples a A patient divorces his wife. The wife is given custody and he may see the child only one day at a time - fear-of-rear-attack conflict. He feels that his ex-wife is robbing him of his child. (B. Eybl) a A 5-year-old boy suffers a fear-of-rear-attack conflict affecting both eyeballs because suddenly the lights go out in the apartment. Over the years, his fear becomes so intense, that when the lights are off, he suspects robbers and murderers are everywhere. He is diagnosed with reduced ranges of vision in both eyes - conflict-active phase. The boy does not come into healing until eight years later, when he has to ride his bike alone to his mother‘s friend’s one evening. He realizes that it is not bad to ride in the dark. A few days later, he has an acute attack of glaucoma (edema in the vitreous humor). Three days later, the worst is over. Therapy: belladonna C 30. (Personal archive Antje Scherret) a The supermarket cashier is attacked from behind by a robber - fear-of-rear-attack conflict. Shortly afterwards, she notices that her range of vision has been reduced = active-phase - “wearing blinders“ phenomenon. (Archive B. Eybl) Ocular Pressure According to Dr. Odum, the inner eye pressure should be measured several times (as much as twice a day before and after stress) before being treated, except in the case where it rises to an extreme value of over 40. The thickness of the cornea should also be measured as this can affect the eye pressure measurement). Conflict-active Necrosis of tissue in the vitreous body and very rapid clouding (green stare). Limitation or elimination of the range of view (scotoma). Bio. function The opacity causes a “wearing-blinders phenomenon.“ The vision to the side, to the back and upwards is clouded. The pursued individual can fully concentrate on the flight forward (like a rabbit, which just runs instinctively without looking back). Repair phase Restoration of the vitreous body, rise of the inner eye pressure (glaucoma) due to edema. The pressure rises through constant production of fluid in the vitreous body and is naturally desirable, so that the eyeball stays full during the healing and does not “shrink up.“ The collagen in the vitreous body can condense > so-called floaters, possible lifting or bleeding of the vitreous body. Clouding of the vitreous body through persistent conflict. Note If the left halves of the vitreous body of a right-handed person are affected, it is about the partner. After many recurrences, one sometimes finds streaks of cholesterol or calcium phosphate in the vitreous body > seeing sparks (spintheropy). An SBS of the kidney collecting tubules (= syndrome) usually plays “background music“ to a diagnosis of glaucoma Retinal tear: In the active-phase of this SBS, traction in the vitreous body can cause a tear in the retina (retinal detachment). Conflict aspect: something is pulling at a person. Questions With chronic, increased pressure within the eye: When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict previous). What am I chronically afraid of? Is it better when on vacation? (If yes > conflict from daily life). What stresses me in daily life? What worries/frightens me? What would I like to change? (Indication of the conflict) Which conditioning has sensitized me? (Pregnancy, childhood, ancestors)? In what condition is my trust? 1 Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 142,146 and Dr. Hamer®- Brain-Nerve ChartsHN II columns 3, 4 SBS of the Vitreous Body N E W M E S O 114 Therapy In case of opacity of the vitreous body: determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve. Glaucoma: the fear-of-rear-attack conflict is resolved; support the repair phase: wear sunglasses, keep the head cool, darken the room, etc. See also: repair phase at the brain level, p. 67. Resolve refugee conflict if necessary. Guiding principle: “I am safe and taken care of.“ Neck and face lymph drainages, acupuncture, acupoint massage. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Eye baths and tea: eyebright. Take colloidal silver internally and instill in eye externally. Combination remedy Lymphomyosot to improve lymph circulation. Enzyme preparation. If all else fails, CM medications (Prostaglandin analogues, carbohydrase inhibitor). SBS of the Optical Nerve Normal pressure glaucoma, damage to or “stroke“ of the optical nerve It is not certain if increased pressure within the eye poses a problem for the optical nerve. The fact of the matter is that the optical nerve is damaged just as often under normal pressure. According to CM, because of thromboses in the optical nerve’s blood vessels, which in my opinion which is incorrect, the blood vessels are arranged as a network. If this were the case, blockages could always detoured collaterally (see p. 149). Conflict One does not want to integrate the information seen. One is annoyed. Self-esteem and self-respect component. = Intense eye(s) conflict. According to my experience, the person affected is usually hit by more than one thing at a time, pushing them over the limit they can handle. Examples ➜ “This is really getting on my nerves!“ a A male nurse is unable to work anymore and goes to the job center. He is annoyed by all the paperwork and correspondence with the social security agency and the job center. He is diagnosed with a normal pressure glaucoma with damage to the optical nerve. (Dr. Odum) a The wife of the 68-year-old patient contracts Parkinson‘s disease. At the same time, his motherin-law, who lives in the same house, becomes unable to care for herself due to dementia. Half a year later, the patient loses half of the sight of his right (partner) eye. Diagnosis: damage to the optical nerve due to stroke of the optical nerve. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell reduction, decrease in function of the optical nerve, possibly also due to limited blood supply > disturbances in the field of view or loss of sight. Bio. function Blocking out the unbearable for the protection of the individual. „Better to be half blind than to have to see that.” Repair phase Recovery depends on the conflict mass. Regeneration is usually incomplete. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict must have taken place some weeks before and have continued more or less until the present). What annoys/burdens me so much? Are there multiple, simultaneous unresolved problems? Which conditioning has led me into the dilemma? (E.g., perfectionism, wanting to do everything immediately, sloppiness)? Are there similar patterns among ancestors? (Indication of conditioning) Why am I doing it the same? Which new attitude was helpful? Which new internal and external changes? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. See also therapy for macular degeneration p. 117. Guiding principle: “I couple myself with God‘s power and serenity. From now on, life will be easy.“ E C T O Eye 115 Eye Closed-angle glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma The most difficult chapter of eye medicine - also for us: • Closed-angle glaucoma = narrowing of the space between the iris and the cornea > disrupted drainage > increased pressure in the inner eye. The cause is an SBS of the iris in the active-phase (see p. 94) > swelling > narrowing of the angle. • Open-angle glaucoma: First possibility: SBS of the vitreous body in the repair phase > increased intraocular pressure (p. 113). Second possibility: resistance to drainage in the scleral venous sinus canal due to cell growth or muscle contraction: visual-chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) that one cannot let go of/release something that has happened (e.g., a fight between grown children, daughter’s unhappy marriage). • Another cause of increased inner pressure: SBS of the ciliary body: Visual-chunk conflict (see p. 112) > cell division in the active-phase > increased fluid production. Bio. function: Better vision through increased vitreous fluid. Example: A man desires a woman, but she does not reciprocate. He produces more vitreous fluid for the “magnifying effect“: In this way, he is subjectively closer to the one he adores. Diagnosis: glaucoma. (Archive Dr. Odum) SBS of the Retina Reduced functioning of the retina, retinal edema, retinal detachment1 Conflict Fear-of rear-attack conflict. Fear of a thing or a danger from behind that cannot be shaken off. “Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.“ According to Dr. Odum, also a guilt-shame theme. Example a A patient lends an acquaintance a large sum of money. Suddenly, he is seized with the fear that he has fallen into the hands of a swindler - fear-of rear-attack conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a An owner of a small construction company lets the firm deliberately go bankrupt in order to get a tax advantage. However, the tax authorities are onto his scheme. He is afraid of a financial audit nearly every day. (Archive B. Eybl) a A retired, 67-year-old woman suffers a fear-of rear-attack conflict when her doctor tells her the following: “You were a smoker in the past. Your breathing difficulties are dragging out so long that we need to find out whether something malignant has formed.“ The woman sees this as a cancer diagnosis. Later, when her fears are allayed, she comes into healing. Now a retinal detachment is diagnosed. (See Johannes F. Mandt…Was Gesund Macht, p. 67). a Someone finds out that his job at the company is “shaky.“ (Archive B. Eybl) a A patient has a car accident. He is afraid that he will lose his driver‘s license = fear-of rear-attack conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Clouding of the retina, partial occlusion of the range of vision (scotoma), reduced sight. Bio. function What one is afraid of should be made “invisible“ by means of a temporary interruption in the functioning of the retina. Repair phase Edema between the sensory cell layer and the pigmented epithelium. It only rarely comes to a detachment of the pigmented epithelium from the choroid. Even rarer is a splitting of the retina (retinoschisis). There is usually a loss of sight in part of the field of vision (“blind spot,“ scotoma, flashes of light). The worsening of vision is dramatic if the retinal detachment is near the macula where vision is sharpest. Relapses cause callosity, that is, scar tissue is formed. Usually, a recurrent conflict. Note By all means, flashes of light should be looked into by an ophthalmologist. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 141,146 E C T O 116 Eye Syndrome aggravates the situation as it causes even more fluid to be stored! With the left half of the retina, the right-handed person looks to the right to the partner and with the right half of the retina, to the left to mother/child. If the left side of the retina of a right-handed person is affected, it is about the partner. If the right side of the retina is affected, it is about the mother/child. In contrast to the opinion of Dr. Hamer, I believe that diabetes really does aggravate diseases of the retina (diabetic retinopathy) as is maintained by CM. Questions Which stress was released before the retinal edema appeared? Fear lingers behind you? (E.g., mother-in-law, credit, tax authorities)? Which conditioning lies behind it? (E.g., insecurity, perfectionism)? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If it recurs, determine the conflict and conditioning. Conventional laser therapy: Here, the still intact edges of a detached retina are attached by pinpoint burning. This prevents an enlargement of the detached area. The price for this “safeguarding” is irreparable scarring (caused by the laser burns) > limited vision. Laser treatment is therefore not a curative, but a preventive measure. Retinal edemas don’t need to be burned with lasers; you can wait until the edema subsides. The two retinal layers reattach themselves to each other when the conflict is resolved and remains resolved for good. > The use of lasers is justified for major retinal detachments. If recurring, guiding principles: “I am safe and taken care of.“ Alkaline diet rich in vital elements. Enzyme preparations. Garlic and lemon drink cure. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Bach flowers: aspen, mimulus, star of Bethlehem. Neck/face lymph drainages, acupuncture, acupoint massage. MACULAR DEGENERATION In the center part of the retina - “yellow spots” in Latin: stains (macula lutea) - the vision cells lie extremely close together. This is where vision is the sharpest. Most vision takes place in the macula. In the case of macular degeneration, the cells in this area begin to die off. The patient can no longer see the object, the eye is fixed on sharply, although he can see the peripheral area well. Other symptoms: reduced strength of vision, sensitivity to being blinded by light, disturbances in seeing colors and contrast. CM differentiates between “wet“ and “dry“ forms of the disease. According to CM, the cause of macular degeneration is unknown. Dry macular degeneration An SBS of the retina (see p. 115). Dry MD is diagnosed in more than 80% of those affected. Sometimes the dry MD turns into wet MD. During ophthalmoscopy, so-called drusen = dead sensory cells, can be seen in dry macular degeneration. Conventional medicine essentially has no therapy for this. Conflict Something that is centrally important is not discovered/not seen/stubbornly ignored. According to Dr. Odum: A special form of a fear-in-the-neck conflict: Negative expectations, guilt, shame and disgrace. Phase Persistent active conflict. Decline of sensory cells (“geographic atrophy”) as long as the conflict remains unresolved. Bio. function Blocking out the ugly/threatening/shameful reality. Note In my experience, serious illnesses like this are usually caused by a large unresolved family/ancestor issue. Therefore, don’t get hung up on the trigger, look deeper instead. Questions What fear is breathing down my neck? (Job, retirement, family, worry about children, grandchildren) family: Was an ancestor affected? If so, which themes accompanying the life of the family have been ignored? (Taboos, blind spots) What aren’t we supposed to see? Where are we afraid to look? What E C T O 117 Eye should remain hidden? What do I desire most in life? (Note on conflict and resolution) What meaning could the disease have for me? Wet macular degeneration Wet MD is often a transition from dry MD. It is more problematic – here, choroidal vessels migrate into the degenerated retina. According to Dr. Odum, wet macular degeneration is an eyesight survival program. The choroid (see p. 112) fills the gap left by the dying retina with new cell growth. Conflict/quest. See dry MD, additional fear, feeling undersupplied in the ideal sense (starved like the retina). Phase Persistent active conflict. Choroidal vessels sprouting into the macula. Note Also, “radiation” from fluorescent tubes, energy-saving lamps, televisions and computers probably play a role in macular degeneration: The unnatural, disharmonious flickering light with its high blue components might damage the retina. Alternatives: Incandescent lamps, as much natural light as possible, use sunglasses only when really necessary (e.g. in high mountains). Therapy The conventional medical standard is the injection of so-called VEGF inhibitors (chemo) into the vitreous body – i.e. right into the middle of the eye. > Not recommended in my opinion. Therapy for macular degeneration • Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life. • Vital, alkaline foods, especially green vegetables, etc. • Garlic and lemon drink cure, blueberries. • Vitamins, minerals, trace elements (orthomolecular therapy) • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. • Eye exercises (see bibliography), gymnastics. • Acupuncture, acupoint massage, lymph drainages. • Natural borax internally. • Breathing exercises. • Amino acids, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene. Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) In this condition, the retinal sensory cells increasingly disappear from the periphery – effectively the counterpart to macular degeneration (where the center is affected). With RP, the field of vision is restricted from the outside. Conflict Someone is fanatically fixated on their own things, only sees their own goal and loses any sense of anything else. To avoid their own downfall, they don’t look to the left or right. Issues: stubbornness, ignorance, fanaticism. According to Dr. Odum: Blocking out the horrible visions through hyperpigmentation. Phrase There is a German phrase that roughly translates to: “Tunnel vision always has a blind spot behind it.” Phase Persistent conflict. Restriction of the field of vision (tunnel vision) from the outside, impaired vision at twilight and distinguishing contrasts. More rarely, however, the restriction of the visual field can also start on the inside (= inverse RP). Therapy There is no standard therapy for RP. See therapy for macular degeneration p. 117. E C T O 118 Eye SBS of the Retina Red-green color blindness (color vision deficiency) This is an “hereditary disease” and this is why we must place our focus on the ancestors. Those affected (10% of men, but only 0.5% of women) have difficulties distinguishing the colors red and green from one another. Conflict According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Not wanting to see something green or red. Ancestral conflict in connection with these colors. Stress during an ancestor’s experience with these colors. Example a An 8-year-old boy can’t distinguish between red, green and violet. Mrs. Frauenkron-Hoffmann identified the following conflict for the color red: His parents decide to have the child when the mother is already 30. Unfortunately, they aren’t successful for two years. Every time when the mother saw that she had her period (blood - red), she experienced stress - her time was running out. The other colors that he can’t see also have something to do with his ancestors. As soon as the boy recognized the connection and understood that the stress is now over and didn’t actually have anything to do with him, he could see all colors. (www.biologisches-dekodieren.de) Conflict-active Impairment of the ability to see specific colors, usually from birth onward. Wether the problem lies with the retina (perception) or with the visual cortex (processing), doesn’t play a main role for us. Bio. function Blocking out the color to protect the individual from the stress associated with it. Repair phase Restoration of color vision. Note Mrs. Frauenkon-Hoffmann explains why 20 times more men are effected by red-green color blindness in this way: Many of our male ancestors died on the battlefield (blood - red, field - green). Questions Which color(s) does it involve exactly? Is this vision deficiency also present in ancestors? (Indication that the conflict is to be sought there). Which stress ancestor(s) have with that color? Was there stress with blood at the time? Did someone die tragically on a battlefield (green). What do I think about with this color? Which role does this color/this associated something play with an ancestor(s)? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and causal conditioning and resolve them. See also Therapy p. 117. Total color blindness (achromatopsia), day blindness (hemeralopia) We categorize those people as color blind who can only see white-gray and no colors. Because color blindness is hereditary, we have to look for the conflict among ancestors. Conflict Light or daylight is dangerous, because one can be discovered. In the figurative sense: The light of recognition hurts. One doesn’t want to see the skeletons in the closet - a test of honesty shouldn’t be ruled out. Also: One’s sight/judgement is limited to black or white. One has forgotten how diverse, colorful and many-facetted life is. One shuts out the light. Examples ➜ The soldier can only advance at night. He would be shot at the break of day. ➜ On the run: The hiding place is only safe at night. They’ll be discovered during the day. Bio. function Blocking out of all colors so that the individual believes they are safe. In white-gray, one feels better. Conflict-active Limitation of the ability to see colors, usually from birth onward. Repair phase A complete restoration is probably not so easy here. It depends on whether color receptors in the retina are present and functional. Questions Did ancestors also have this vision deficiency? Which stress did an ancestor(s) have once in the daylight? Did someone need the protection of the night? Dramatic war, criminal or refugee experiences? Have I or did my ancestor(s) suppress something monstrous? (E.g. murder, incest)? Has someone completely shut out the Light (of God) and sought their salvation in darkness? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and original conditioning and resolve them. See also treatment p. 117.. E C T O 119 Eye Focal point in front of the retina Eyeball too long NEARSIGHTEDNESS (SHORTSIGHTEDNESS, MYOPIA) In CM, one differentiates between two types of nearsightedness: • By so-called axial nearsightedness, the eyeball, instead of being perfectly spherical, is slightly elongated. This results in the focus lying in front of the retina instead of on it > seeing in the distance is out of focus and blurred > nearsightedness. (An elongation of the eyeball by 1 millimeter results in a nearsightedness of about 3 diopters.) • The second, rarer kind of nearsightedness is refractive nearsightedness. Cornea and lens refract the light too strongly. Here too, the focal point lies in front of the retina > nearsightedness. In the following, I describe three possible biological changes that occur with nearsightedness. After that, I present some conflict causes and case studies. Nearsightedness caused by the ciliary muscle According to CM, the ciliary muscle is an involuntary muscle. According to Dr. Hamer, it has involuntary and voluntary (striated) parts, which seems perfectly logical to me. In the following, I take both possibilities into consideration. The ciliary muscle plays the main role in refractive nearsightedness. The interplay between this parasympathetic innervated ring muscle, the zonula fibers (suspension apparatus), and the lens is not easy to understand. In a tension-free state, the lens is a roundish, thick disk, which is connected with the ciliary muscle over the zonula fibers. • When the ciliary muscle tightens, the inner diameter of the ciliary body diminishes > the zonula fibers, on which the lens hangs, relax > the lens takes on its original form of a roundish thick disk = nearsighted adjustment. • When the ciliary muscle relaxes, the inner diameter of the ciliary body increases > the zonula fibers tighten > they pull on the lens > it becomes a flat disk = farsighted adjustment. Thus, the tension of the ciliary muscle behaves inversely to the tension on the lens. Tightened ciliary muscle > relaxed, thick lens. Relaxed ciliary muscle > tightened, flat lens. The “antagonist“ to the ciliary muscle is the inherent tension of the lens. Progression Involuntary part of the muscle: Increased muscle tension in the active-phase > better seeing up close (= bio. function) > nearsightedness, if the conflict is active for a longer period. Voluntary (striated) part of the muscle: Necrosis or paralysis in the active-phase. Refilling in the repair phase. End of the repair phase or in persistent repair: the ciliary muscle is stronger than before (luxury group) > nearsightedness. Non-conflictive It is very probable that nearsightedness can also happen with out a conflict with regard to the ciliary muscle and diagonal eye muscles: adjustment to constant near-vision use (school, computer, etc.). Ciliary Muscle SBS of the Ciliary Muscle E C T O E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown 120 Eye SBS of the Cornea Nearsightedness due to cone-shaped thinning of the cornea (keratoconus) A persistent, active conflict of the cornea causes it to become thinner and thinner. This results in the loss of its regular curvature and it becomes cone-shaped, pointing to the front = keratoconus > usually linked to a distortion of the cornea. This type of myopia can be clearly diagnosed. It cannot be completely compensated with glasses. Due to the increased corneal curvature, the light is increasingly refracted > myopia. Conflict Strong visual-separation conflict. To lose sight of somebody. Phase Persistent, active conflict The role of the outer eye muscles is underestimated in CM: e.g., focusing on an image. The New York ophthalmologist and founder of eye training, Dr. Bates (1860-1931), researched the cause of nearsightedness for more than 40 years. He observed that the vision among his students varied greatly. He noticed that patients, whose lenses had been removed could see fairly well nevertheless (accommodation). This is something that simply should not occur according to the textbooks. His credo: “The lens is not the main factor in the accommodation process.“ He discovered that the lens, when focusing, was aided by the upper and lower, oblique eye muscles. These two muscles build a ring around the eyeball. When they tighten simultaneously, the eyeball is squeezed lengthwise > improvement of near sight. Permanent tension of these muscles results in nearsightedness! Dr. Bates and representatives of modern ophthalmology schools start from the standpoint that near vision under stress leads to lasting tension of these muscles. The body does nothing other than accommodate the (somewhat unnatural) demand for permanent near vision (nearsightedness - an adaptation process). Eye training is an attempt to release the tension in these muscles. This adaptation theory of Dr. Bates is confirmed by the fact that the numbers of nearsighted people increase with the level of civilization. In Japan, over 90% of the youth are nearsighted, among indigenous peoples, hardly any. SBS of the Outer Eye Muscles Inferior Oblique Muscle Nearsightedness: conflict, examples, therapy Conflict First possibility: A person has the feeling that he does not belong. Someone or something is too far away. He misses somebody. “I would like to have a certain something or someone within sight of me.“ Bio. function A visual clinging to someone or something. The nearsightedness gives the illusion of being in a small, safe, and intact world. Conflict Second possibility: A person does not want to see something in the distance, because it frightens them. Bio. function Visually blocking something out. Subconsciously, one only wants to see in the near vicinity to feel safe or secure. “What I cannot see in the distance cannot scare me.“ Type of person Most often, people who tend to be introverted, fearful or hesitant are affected. Examples a While a boy is attending a summer camp, the other boys gang up on him and beat him. After these three weeks, he is nearsighted. A test of his vision shows a diopter of minus 1.5. (Archive Dr. Odum) a A child has to go to kindergarten. He does not like it there and would much prefer to be at home with his mother. (Archive B. Eybl) E C T O E C T O E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown HFs sensory function - top of cerebral cortex 121 Eye Eyeball too short Focal point behind the retina Farsightedness (hyperopia) In the case of farsightedness, the eyeball is too short in relation to the refractive power of the seeing apparatus > blurriness when looking at objects up close. Possible causes • Farsightedness as an aging process? Yes, this might be true for those over 45; however, this surely does not apply to young people, because they sometimes become farsighted too. The fact is that the rigid core of the lens becomes enlarged with age, which is a burden on the elastic outer layer. This causes the lenses to lose their overall elasticity > without elasticity, sharp eyesight (accommodation) is not possible! • SBS of the outer eye muscles: Tension in the smooth eye muscles causes the eyeball to shorten = distance vision adjustment (see p. 108). In the case of a conflict, the tension can become permanent = farsightedness. • SBS of the ciliary muscle: Weakness or paralysis of the ciliary muscle due to a conflict > tension in the zonular fibers > a tug on the lens > it causes it to become a flat disk = farsightedness. • Callosity: Dr. Hamer explains farsightedness, as a shortening of the eyeball due to callosities in the rear (dorsal) part of the eyeball (see p 113). Conflict Not being able to see someone or something that is far away. Visual wandering and searching. “I want to see whatever is out there carefully since it might be dangerous!“ Example a A little boy always wants to carry his favorite toy around with him. Suddenly, his parents take it away from him. Within a short time, he develops farsightedness with a diopter of plus 7. The boy keeps looking and looking. (Archive Dr. Odum) SBS Medial rectus muscles and/or ciliary muscle. Bio. function Good, long-distance eyesight in order to recognize someone or something more easily. Medial rectus muscles Lens Ciliary muscle Questions When did the nearsightedness begin? (Conflict must be previous). What is frightening “out there?” Why? Why do I want to retreat? Did ancestors have similar tendencies? (Look for conditioning). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life. Avoid looking at things close up at an early age and avoid early learning pressure. Spend more time in nature rather than with television and books. Eye training (see bibliography.). Bach flowers: aspen and mimulus among others. Until 1850, one rightly assumed that eyeglasses made bad eyesight worse and thus, they were not prescribed. In any case, it seems sensible not to fully correct the eyes, so that room for improvement remains. 122 Eye Phase Persistent active conflict. Type of person Outward-oriented (extroverted) and energetic persons (“go getters“) tend to be affected more often. Questions Farsightedness substantially before the age of 45? (> Look for the conflict’s cause). What is frightening out there? What am I looking for in the distance? Which conditioning is this based on? (Parents, ancestors)? Therapy Determine the conflict or conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Eye training can decidedly improve or stabilize farsightedness. However, this requires commitment, diligence, and perseverance. (For books, see bibliography). “As long as I live, I will remain curious and flexible.“ “I forgive myself and I forgive you.“ Age related farsightedness (presbyopia) In CM, age related farsightedness is regarded as a normal part of the aging process. For most people, the ability to see up close begins to deteriorate after about the age of 45. There are exceptions, however. Some people do not need glasses, even when they are old. Conflict Fear of the future. One cannot see how things will turn out > “mid-life crisis.“ Examples ➜ Will my health hold up? Will I be able to support myself when I‘m old? Is my job secure? ➜ What is going to happen to my mother/father? What will become of the children? SBS/Phase Lens and/or ciliary muscle. Persistent conflict. Questions Do I suffer from separation conflicts? Am I often worried about the future? My personal pension? Job? Children, grandchildren? What do I see as my task in life? Can I actually change the things that I am worrying about? Then why am I worrying myself sick about it? What do I believe in? Am I confident? Therapy Determine the conflict or conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. With eye training, the farsightedness can be decidedly improved. Possible causes • SBS of the lens: Loss of elasticity in the lens due to conflict or age > without elasticity it is not possible for the eye to focus (accommodate) > (old age) farsightedness (see also: p. 111). • SBS of the ciliary muscle: Weakness or paralysis of the ciliary muscle due to conflict or old age > the lens can no longer resume its original form of a roundish, thick disk > (old age) farsightedness. Astigmatism With astigmatism in CM, there is not a single focal point in front of the retina (nearsightedness) or behind the retina (farsightedness), but rather two or more focal points. This phenomenon is aptly called “lack of focal point.“ Deformation of the cornea is the most common cause of astigmatism, but there are others: astigmatism of the lens (rare) and astigmatism of the eye background (retina). Possible causes • SBS of the cornea (thinning of the cornea p. 110). • SBS of the outer eye muscles: Varying amounts of tension in the outer eye muscles that brace the whole eyeball, so that symmetry is lost (see strabismus). See p. 108. The asymmetry can affect the cornea or the retina. • SBS of the vitreous body: A pulling of the vitreous body on the retina in the active-phase > distorted vision (see p. 95f). Conflict A person‘s internal vision - their expectations (of oneself or of others) - do not match reality. The two views cannot be brought into alignment. Examples a A child has a natural inner vision of a strong father. The father, however, is a dialysis patient. Unfortunately, one day his mother takes him to the hospital where he sees his ailing father, who is dependent on dialysis. (Archive Dr. Odum) a The father of a patient - 5-years-old at the time - has become an alcoholic. He is drinking with his buddies and starts showing off his son‘s gymnastic stunts: “Hey look, he can do a headstand on a shot glass.“ For the boy, this is terribly embarrassing. He has to perform the stunt dressed only in his nightshirt. The real picture of 123 Ear his father does not match his inner vision. (B. Eybl) SBS/Phase Cornea and/or external eye muscles. Persistent conflict. Bio. function The distortion of reality protects the individual from the “hard reality.“ Questions When did the symptoms begin? (First conflict must have been before this. The diagnosis usually takes place after the first symptoms > estimate when the SBS began). Which expectations didn’t match up with reality at the time in question? Is the conflict still ongoing? What could be recurring? Why do I have such high expectations? Which conditioning has made me into who I am today? (Pregnancy, birth, parents)? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Astigmatism can be improved considerably through eye training. 124 Ear EAR The external ear (auris externa) is made up of the auricle (pinna), the earlobe (lobulus auricula), and the outer auditory canal (meatus acusticus externus). The ear- drum or tympanic membrane (membrana tempani) marks the division between the outer ear and the middle ear (auris media). The air-filled, tympanic cavity of the middle ear, with its hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes), is connected via the eustachian tube with the pharyngeal cavity. In the oval window (fenstra ovalis), the stirrup transmits hearing impulses to the snail-shaped cochlea of the inner ear, which is the actual auditory organ. The semicircular canal is where the sense of balance is located. Inner Ear - Cochlea Hearing conflict Ear - Epidermis Hearing-separation Middle Ear and Eustachian Tube Hearing chunk (survival) Inner ear - Vestibular System, Semicircular Canal Inability to control/balance, falling conflict Ear - Dermis Disfigurement - hearing Ear - cartilage Self-esteem (Hearing) SBS of the Middle Ear Middle ear infection (otitis media), inflamed ear polyp1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Right ear: not getting hoped-for auditory information. Left ear: cannot get rid of an unpleasant, disturbing message or not having noticed (heard) something dangerous. I.e., not to hear something desired or not wanting to listen something undesired. Not getting or getting rid of information. One missed hearing something or doesn’t hear something and suffered damage as a consequence. Example ➜ A child does not get the toy he wished for. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 18, 23 E N D O 125 Ear ➜ A baby wants to hear his mother‘s voice, but that is not possible in the nursery. a The 9-year-old daughter of a 36-year-old, right-handed married woman is doing relatively badly in school. One day, the daughter‘s teacher contacts the patient and says she thinks that the child‘s schoolwork leaves much to be desired = chunk conflict. She would rather hear something else, namely that the daughter‘s work had improved > right receptive ear is affected. Resolution of the conflict: By chance, she runs into a friend, who has three children. She tells her that she has very similar problems with her children at school. A pleasant, and healing conversation, develops during which the patient pours her heart out to her friend. Shortly after the conversation, the middle-ear infection begins. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ A woman learns from her girlfriend that her boyfriend was flirting with another woman = conflict, not wanting to hear this bad news (chunk conflict). In the repair phase, a middle-ear infection follows > here, the left ear is affected. Conflict-active An increase in the functioning of the “primal-hearing cells.“ Growth of a flat-growing tumor (adeno-ca) of absorptive quality or a cauliflower-like growing tumor (ear polyp) of secretory quality - increased filling of the middle ear with “primal-hearing cells.“ Bio. function With more cells, there is better reception or rejection of what one hears. Repair phase A normalization of function: The tumor is broken down by fungi and bacteria; tubercular caseating = middle-ear infection (otitis media). Swelling, pain, possibly with perforation of the eardrum or the ear polyp bulging forward in the outer auditory canal with purulent discharge, fever, night sweats. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain. Note Repeated middle-ear infections can harm the auditory ossicles behind the eardrum and lead to permanent hearing loss. Questions Was this the first middle ear infection? (If no > determine the first episode, then identify the current one. If yes > a hearing conflict must have gone into the repair phase immediately before this). Which event led to the healing? (E.g., a good conversation, good news, the resolution of a quarrel - This healing event provides an indication of the conflict). What was stressing me beforehand? What couldn’t I bear to hear anymore/What couldn’t I hear anymore? Which conditioning is the cause? (Parents, pregnancy, childhood)? Therapy The conflict is resolved. In case of recurrences, determine the conflict and conditioning. Guiding principle: “Life‘s not always a bowl full of cherries.“ “I can‘t have everything and I do not have to hear everything.“ Lymphatic drainage. Enzyme preparation. MMS, colloidal silver internally and externally. Drop vermouth-chamomile decoction or olive oil in the ear and cover with a wad of cotton. Steep mullein blossoms in olive oil for four weeks - drop into the ear. Onion compresses: lay finely chopped onion on the ear. Cover with curd cheese. Beat white cabbage leaves until soft and lay them on the ear. Enzyme compounds. Hildegard of Bingen: Oily “Rebtropfen“ special recipe. CM antibiotics make sense for short-term treatment when symptoms are acute and severe, such as at night. Possibly only a single dose. Less recommended for chronic cases (see p. 69). Inflammation of the bone behind the ear (mastoiditis) The inflammation of the mastoid process occurs only in the context of a middle ear infection (otitis media). – No wonder, since these air-filled bone cavities are also lined with endodermal middle ear mucosa. Same SBS as above (see above). Phase Repair/healing. Pain, swelling, reddening. In severe cases, the pus can erupt directly through the skin behind the ear (abscess). Therapy Questions/therapy see middle ear infection. An OP (Mastoidectomy) is rarely advisable. E N D O 126 Ear Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) The auditory tube (Tuba auditiva, short “Tuba”) connects the middle ear with the throat. This important channel enables 1) the drainage of secretions from the middle ear and 2) pressure equalization (passively when swallowing and yawning or actively by holding the nose + blowing). The tube is a highly complex structure of cartilage, a closure system with three (!) different muscles, also incorporating mucous membrane and glandular cells. The following conflict can be derived from its function: Conflict See the conflict for the middle ear (p. 124) with the additional aspects: Not being able to get rid of the “crap” being heard, not being able to balance the pressure of what is heard (not being able to integrate what is heard). Conflict active Increase in function (and, in the case of prolonged conflict duration, cell growth) of the middle ear mucosa goblet cells. Bio. function With more mucus, the “crap” being heard can be excreted better. Repair/healing Tuberculous, caseating degradation of the thickened mucosa by fungi or bacteria. The secretion can flow into the throat or the middle ear where it may look like a middle ear infection. Swelling, pain, fever, night sweats. Note In chronic cases, the mucosa of the Eustachian tube increasingly thickens > occlusion > insufficient ventilation of the middle ear > retraction of the eardrum > poor hearing = recurrent or persistent conflict. Therapy Accompany the healing. If it is chronic, determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve. Questions, therapy p. 125. Warm saltwater compresses. Inhalations, oil pulling (p. 68). Lymph drainage. Kidney collection tube therapy measures p. 268. In very persistent cases, the ENT specialist must suck out the secretions or temporarily lay a tympanic tube for the drainage of mucus. Fluid accumulation in the middle ear (otitis media with effusion, tympanic effusion) In this disease, fluid accumulates in the middle ear because the drainage through the Eustachian tube is blocked. – Relatively common in children (often after tonsil surgery), rare in adults. Symptoms: Poor hearing, no detectable middle ear inflammation, feeling of “full ear,” little or no pain. Two possible causes for a tympanic effusion: 1. Outflow obstruction due to inflammation/swelling in the HNO area (e.g. tonsils, nasal or pharyngeal mucosa or swelling after tonsillectomy). > Not its own SBS, but flow obstruction due to local pressure on the Eustachian tube or its opening into the nasopharynx. > Find out which structure is swollen (swelling = repair phase). > Identify conflict and, if recurring, resolve it permanently. 2. SBS of the Eustachian tube (see conflict above). If the tubal mucosa is not inflamed, the three muscles that control the valve at the exit to the throat may be playing the main role here. Therapy: see above. SBS of the Auditory Tube E N D O 127 Ear Tumor of the balance (vestibular) nerve - vestibular schwannoma - mistakenly “acoustic neuroma“ Dr. Hamer groups the acoustic neuroma with the brain stem (see p. 124, middle ear infection), which seems correct, because the “tumor“ lies in the brainstem (although it is on the border to the cerebellum). The reason I order this SBS, with the cerebellum - mesoderm, is because the tumor, when seen histologically, is made up of Schwann cells - thus a “nerve sheath tumor.” It grows around the vestibulocochlear nerve (balance nerve) between the cerebellopontine angle, inner ear canal and the inner ear. Due to swelling, it can compact the vestibular (balance) nerve as well as the cochlear (hearing) nerve and trigeminal (facial) nerve. Conflict Likely a “balance-pain conflict.” Painful/burdensome/negative information knocks one off balance. Example ➜ One must work with a jackhammer every day. a Every time her grown daughter comes to visit, the right-handed mother hears a sermon about everything she has done wrong and what she should have done differently = balance-pain conflict. She can no longer listen to her daughter‘s harping and wishes she could have some understanding of her problems. Over the years, an acoustic neuroma develops on the left mother/child ear = active-phase. The patient‘s symptoms: deafness and dizziness. The neuroma is removed through surgery. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Growth of a vestibular Schwannoma in the cerebellopontine angle. The longer the conflict lasts, the greater it becomes. Symptoms: deafness on one or both sides, disturbances in the sense of balance, dizziness. Bio. function Through the thickening of the nerve insulation, the unbearable information is blocked. Repair phase Inflammation > worsening of the symptoms. Break down of the tumor by bacteria. Restoration is possible, but only in the preliminary phase when the tumor is very small. After a certain size, its degeneration is unrealistic. The best possible scenario is a stoppage in growth. Questions Diagnosed when? (The conflict-active phase can already have been going on for months/years). What has been putting me off balance for a long time? What do I want to block unconsciously? What am I unable to “tune out?” If these questions remain unanswered: What bothers me the most in my life and has for a long time now? Which conditioning and character traits are the cause? (E.g. oversensitivity, absence of stability)? Which ancestors are similar? What made them become like that? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Guiding principle: “I have the power to change the things that are unhealthy for me.” If the tumor continues to grow or is already too big, an OP is unavoidable. SBS of the Nerve Sheath O L D M E S O HFs in the cerebellum - topography still unknown 128 Ear SBS of the Epidermis Inflammation of the outer ear or auditory canal (otitis externa) Conflict Wanting to hear something desirable or not wanting to hear something undesirable. Wanting or not wanting to have skin contact at the ear (local conflict). Example a In a long telephone call with a friend, the patient gets an “earful“ of verbal abuse. During his friend‘s diatribe, he was eating nuts. Since then, he is allergic to nuts (= trigger). One day after eating nuts, he suffers from itchy eczema in his ear during the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Someone likes it when their cat lovingly rubs their ear. The cat dies = separation conflict of losing skin contact at the ear. Conflict-active Cell reduction in the squamous epithelium of the outer ear or the auditory canal. Scaly, dry, numb skin, lessening of sensitivity, no pain. Bio. function Through lessening of sensitivity, the separation is more easily forgotten or the unwanted contact is “blocked out.“ Repair phase Inflammation of the outer ear or auditory canal. Replenishing and filling up of the squamous epithelium, over-sensitivity. Rash on the ear, itching ear canal eczema, scaling off of the outer skin (detritus) because new cells are pushing out from below. Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Questions When did it begin? (Previously, a hearing conflict must have been resolved). What didn’t I want to hear? (Accusations, viscous words, criticism)? What stressed me? Did it have anything to do with a specific person? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If recurrent, determine the conflict and/or conditioning. Guiding principles: “I do not expect anything.“ “I am happy with the way it is.“ “I say YES to life!“ Compresses and herbs: see middle-ear infection. Drops of the juice of the houseleek (sempervivum tectorum) in the ear. Sloughed off skin can lead to inflammation. Therefore, if necessary, clean the ear canal regularly with an ear bath or let the doctor clean it. SBS of the Cartilage of the Outer Ear (Auricle) Inflammation of the outer ear cartilage (auricular perichondritis), gout Conflict Self-esteem conflict with regard to the ear or the taking in of sound + active kidney collecting tubules. Example ➜ Somebody has a hearing impairment and can no longer follow the conversation at the table. Conflict-active Cell degradation in cartilage, no pain. Repair phase Restoration of the cartilage. Inflammation of the auricular cartilage. Swelling, reddening, pain. In the case of syndrome, “gout tophus“ on the auricular cartilage. Bio. function Strengthening of the cartilage so that sound can be better absorbed. Note With this SBS we are dealing with “gout in the ear.“ Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. E.g., partner always sits on one side and gives you an ear full. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. In the case of recurrences, determine the conflict and conditioning. Resolve any refugee conflict. Lay curd cheese or white cabbage leaves on the affected area. Cold compresses, cold showers. Spray the ear with tincture of frankincense or myrrh. E C T O HFs sensory function - top of cerebral cortex N E W M E S O 129 Ear Deafness caused by the tympanic muscle and the stapedius muscle These two muscles of the middle ear tense up in order to reduce the vibration of the eardrum, thereby protecting it from high sound levels. Sometimes, explosions and the like cannot be “intercepted,“ because the reaction time is too short. Thus, these and similar sounds can hurt the inner ear and cause deafness. According to CM, voluntary (striated) muscles are involved here (one really can tense up the ear drum when a loud noise is expected). Normally, however, the two muscles behave involuntarily, as if they were smooth muscles. It is interesting to note that they also react in the same way (as if they were involuntary muscles) in the case of a conflict. Conflict Not being able to dampen the noise. (E.g., A wife complains constantly, someone with dementia constantly repeats the same thing, a coworker sings annoyingly the whole day long). Examples a Thirty years ago on New Year‘s Eve, a firecracker exploded next to the now 67-year-old patient = conflict of not being able to silence the sound. For four months, he had trouble hearing with the right ear = active-phase with increased tension of the tympanic membrane and the stapedius muscle. After that, his hearing normalized again = repair phase. Since then, however, any loud noise - such as a truck driving by or the noise of a concert - causes several minutes of deafness = recurrence with muscle tension. Hearing tests show that the patient has excellent hearing. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Someone works in a nightclub and suffers from constant noise. ➜ Someone constantly “gets an earful“ from their partner. Conflict-active Increase in the muscle tension (hypertonia) of the tympanic muscle and/or stapedius muscle > deafness. Permanent deafness due to persistent conflict activity > constant tension. (Behaves like involuntary muscle?) Bio. function Damping of the sound. Repair phase Restoration of normal hearing. Repair crisis “Cracking” in the ear due to uncoordinated contractions of the aforementioned muscles. Note Behavior of involuntary muscles: Could it be that those striated muscles that also operate involuntarily (for instance the diaphragm, the outer eye muscles) might react like involuntary muscles in the case of conflict? Questions Was there a specific, extreme noise event or is something chronically annoying? (Office, particular people)? In which situations is it better/worse? (Indication of the conflict). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “Now the noise does not bother me anymore. It could be worse. I am ready to hear everything again.“ Bach flowers: beech, crab apple, lymph drainage massages, acupuncture, acupoint massage.

Conflict of feeling deformed or disfigured. Also, feeling disfigured by what one has heard. Example ➜ Somebody gets verbally abused. ➜ The patient suffers from an overproduction of earwax. The partner complains about the bad smell coming from the ear = disfigurement conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active A thickening of the dermis (corium) that usually goes unnoticed. Bio. function Better protection from disfigurement through thickened dermis. Repair phase Inflammation. Tubercular, caseating, stinking deterioration of the tumor (pus). Note Danger of vicious circle due to stinking ear. Sometimes histamines (see p. 161) or certain foods may be a trigger. Questions When did the symptoms begin? Which stress did I have before this? By what did I feel attacked? Is is based on my nutrition? (Trigger). Which stress did I have before the last episode of itchiness? (Selfobservation). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. In case of recurrence, determine the conflict and conditioning. Bathe the auditory canal or clean with an ear spoon to eliminate recurrences. DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), H2 O2 externally. If recurring, guiding principles: “A crystal wall surrounds me.“ “That goes in one ear and out the other.“ “I will remain in my center.” Bach Flowers: crab apple, compresses and herbs (see middle ear infection). SBS of the Dermis SBS of the Inner Ear Impairment due to the inner ear, sounds in the ear (tinnitus)1 Conflict Not wanting the hear something. The most common hearing impairment SBS. Examples ➜ “What I am hearing cannot be true!" I cannot believe what I‘m hearing! This guy is pestering me!“ a A youthful, 50-year-old, right-handed woman has been suffering from tinnitus of the right ear and dizziness for the last 5 days. Conflict history: The patient has a 53-year-old sister with psychological problems. Following a 4-month stay in a psychiatric clinic, her condition seems stable. Six days ago, the patient was invited by her sister to have breakfast together. She notices at once that her sister is in very bad shape again, as she constantly pokes around in her miserable past > hearing conflict: “I just can‘t listen to this anymore!“ and falling conflict: “She will never stabilize!“ To the patient, it is clear that her sister will never get out of this mess. Therapy: she tries to lay her sister‘s fate in the hands of God. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 41-year-old, right-handed man has a good position as the manager of a hotel. One day, his supervisor informs him that the hotel is about to be closed. It is clear to the patient that this means the end of his job > hearing conflict: “What I have just heard cannot be true!“ Since this point he has suffered from tinnitus in both ears. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Reduced functioning of the inner ear = deafness and/or humming, rustling, hissing, whistling, ringing in the ear = tinnitus. This causes further hearing reduction. Bio. function Blocking out of what is being heard through a reduced functioning of the inner ear. Tinnitus: one is warned when the same or a similar situation recurs. The tinnitus noise also helps to disrupt the unbearable quiet when someone is all alone.

The disease pattern is usually as follows: The normally moveable stirrup bone (stapes) becomes increasingly fixed in place > less transmission of sound waves > deafness. Conflict Self-esteem conflict that one has forwarded information incorrectly or carelessly (e.g., forgotten, misunderstood, erroneously divulged) and, in doing so, has exposed themselves or other(s) to danger. Conflict that one cannot handle coarse information - cannot integrate it. Example ➜ Deafness following a hearing-conflict. The patient constantly hears a whistling in the ear. ➜ The doctor tell the patient, “Something is wrong with your ear!“ vides comfort and a sense of connection). Repair phase Often, one notices the tinnitus only after acute hearing loss: Here, there may be a chronic hearing conflict present, which just went into the repair phase (hearing loss) recently. Sudden deafness (see ISSHL below) followed by slow recovery of hearing, hearing impairment due to recurrences or persistent repair. Note Words, sentences or songs that repeatedly go through our heads also function according to this scheme (word - tinnitus, music - tinnitus = “stuck in the head“). Questions For hearing impairment: since when? (Previous conflict, usually continuing up to the present). What could I no longer tolerate hearing, which situations got on my nerves? Am I resisting listening because it might hurt? (Criticism, objections)? Am I constantly transmitting and not receiving? Do/did my ancestors also have impaired hearing? Is there someone who I am similar to? (Indication of a family issue). For tinnitus: Since when? Which sounds/which situations does my tinnitus noise remind me of? In which situations does it get worse? (Indication of the conflict). When does it get better? (Weekends, vacation or mornings, when I am together with certain people? > Indication of the conflict). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principle: “It‘s a good thing that I heard that, but now, it’s already forgotten.“ Disconnect-ritual: “Say goodbye“ to the hearing conflict with your heart and mind. Lymph drainage massages. Acupuncture, acupoint massage. Willfort: smoke ear with hyssop fumes. Tea: club moss, mistletoe, hyssop violets. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. In CM, in cases of acute tinnitus, high doses of cortisone are prescribed over several days. It makes more sense to practice the so-called tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT). Acute hearing loss (sudden deafness)2 Same SBS as above. Sudden deafness ranging from slight hearing loss to total deafness, usually in just one ear and without pain. It can affect all or only certain frequencies. Repair phase Edema in the inner ear and in the hearing center of the meninges > short-term, severe reduction of hearing ability. In my experience, the order of tinnitus preceding acute hearing loss first isn’t substantiated very often. Usually, it is the reverse (still unclear). What is clear is that the hearing conflict needs to be determined and resolved. Therapy The conflict has been resolved. Support the healing process. Guiding principles: “Relax, the symptoms are temporary.“ Alkaline food, lymph drainage massages, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. In CM, circulation stimulating, blood-thinning medication and cortisone is administered. From the view of the New Medicine, this is only sensible as a short-term treatment. Personally, I would only apply the measures described above. 2 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 141,145 SBS of the Bony Labyrinth E C T O N E W M E S O 132 Ear Conflict-active Degeneration of the bone (osteolysis) in the bony, osseous labyrinth.

Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict probably already took place months before). Which important information did I fail to forward or forward carelessly? Do I have problems with coarse/strong language? Who else in the family is similar? Similar incidents in the family? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Guiding principles: “I forgive myself - it must have a reason nevertheless.” “Coarseness also is a part of earthly life - I want to adapt to it and integrate it.” Lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, acupoint massage. Natural borax internally. Garlic and lemon juice. With chronic condition, only a slight improvement in symptoms is expected (due to calcification of stapes). If necessary, CM surgery (implant - stapedotomy). Hearing impairment (hypacusis) Possible causes • Poisoning due to drugs or medication: Antibiotics, diuretics, painkillers, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in high doses, psychotropic, chemotherapeutic substances, anti-malaria medication, iodine (as an additive to salt, toothpaste, etc.) can cause hearing impairment. • Cochlea hearing conflict: Not wanting to hear something. In persistent conflict activity > hearing impairment due to reduced function of the inner ear and/or tinnitus. In the repair phase > impaired hearing due to edema of the inner ear (acute hearing impairment) see p. 130. • Middle ear mucosa or mucosa of the eustachian tube = hearing chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Hearing impairment due to recurring infection. Scarring with calcium deposits in the middle ear > impaired functioning of the hearing bones. See p. 124. • Middle ear muscles: Self-esteem conflict, not being able to silence a noise. Possible hearing impairment in the conflict-active phase. See p. 131. • Bony labyrinth: Self-esteem conflict. Not being able to hear well. Impaired hearing in persistent repair or after many instances of conflict (recurrence). See p. 131. • Mechanical closure of the outer auditory canal due to ear wax (cerumen). Noticeable worsening after coming in contact with water. Upwelling of ear wax. Determining which of these various causes is the actual one isn’t always clear. The easiest is the explanation of the middle ear SBS: Here, several middle ear infections must already have taken place. Tinnitus is a clear indication of the second possible cause. Therapy • Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. • Mix dry mustard with water and paint it behind the ear (stimulates circulation) • Garlic and lemon drink cure. • Acupuncture or acupoint massage, lymph drainage massages. • Natural borax internally. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Ménière‘s disease (MD) CM’s triad of symptoms for Ménière‘s disease is made up of the following symptoms: vertigo, one-sided hearing loss and tinnitus. Here, CM forms a single “disease“ out of at least two separate SBSs in different phases. N E W M E S O 133 Ear Dizziness (vertigo) caused by a falling conflict1 Conflict Falling or balance conflict. A person sees someone fall or falls himself. Also in the figurative sense: to lose one‘s grip or balance. To lose the ground beneath one‘s feet. Hang in the air. Fall in a hole. “It made me fall off my seat!” “He fell down off his high horse!” Further aspect: swindle comes from the German schwindeln (make) dizzy. Thus, this also includes the concepts (experienced passively or actively): lying, manipulation, twisting (truth), embellish/sugar coat, being unfaithful/disloyal. Example a Due to her low and irregular income, the 40-year-old patient can barely afford an apartment. After hearing a lecture about the upcoming dramatic economic crisis, she has the feeling that she is losing the ground beneath her feet (= falling conflict). For two weeks, she was so dizzy that she can hardly walk or drive (= conflict-active phase). She resolves the conflict by deciding to move in again with her estranged partner. Immediately after she makes this decision, the dizziness ceases. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Impaired function of the equilibrium organ (vestibular apparatus) > dizziness, possibly a tendency to fall. In my experience, the dizziness doesn’t always occur immediately after the conflict, but rather after the first relaxation phase thereafter. Bio. function Dizziness causes someone to return to safe territory and avoid dangers = protection from further falls. Repair phase Disappearance of the dizziness. Questions 1. Side effects of medication? (Check if the beginning of the symptoms corresponds with ingestion. > Discontinue use as necessary). 2. Dizziness since when? (Conflict previous). 3. Determine if the dizziness occurred in sympathicotonia (active falling conflict) or in vagotonia (pressure on the brain - general repair symptom). Headaches? (= Indication of vagotonia). Cold/warm hands? Poor/good sleep? Appetite? Thinking in circles? If in sympathicotonia: Falls, accidents in the period in question? Lost footing/rug pulled out from underneath - by what? If in vagotonia: How did I come into the repair phase? Which stress did I have before this? Do ancestors also suffer from dizziness? If yes, what similarities in character are there? Do I want to relive this pattern or will I take the liberty to go my own way? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother-child or partner). Avoid risk & stay on safe terrain. Guiding principle: concentrate on safety in one‘s life. “Grounding“ activities such as gardening, handwork, walking (barefoot), strength training, grounding ritual, lemon-garlic drink cure. Bach flowers: clematis, aspen, cerato, scleranthus, honeysuckle. Tea: St. John‘s wort, mistletoe. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 141,145 SBS of the Semicircular Canals Dizziness - other causes • Poisoning with drugs or medication: Antihypertensives (beta blockers, ACE inhibitors), pain killers (analgesics), epilepsy medication (antiepileptics), tranquilizers, antidepressants, cramp releasing medication (spasmolytics), antibiotics, antimycotics (anti-fungus medication), diuretics, anti-allergy medication (antihistamines), X-ray contrast media, etc. > Due to poisoning, the human body experiences artificial stress (sympathicotonia) > “success of the medication“ > If the body neutralizes or expels the toxins later on, it actually enters a repair phase (vagotonia) > dizziness, headache. • Brain pressure = general healing symptom: The interaction of the eyes, balance organs (inner ear), and muscle and joint receptors, is disturbed by the swelling in the brain (brain pressure) > dizziness. See p. 67 • Cervical spine or skull bone in the repair phase (possibly in persistent repair), space requirement reaching into the inner-ear area > dizziness, see p. 348. • Tumor on the hearing or balancing nerve > dizziness, see 127. • High blood pressure, see p. 80. • Hypoglycemia see p. 261. E C T O HFs auditory function, lateral in cerebral cortex 134 Hypophysis PITUITARY GLAND (HYPOPHYSIS) The bean-shaped pituitary gland (hypophysis) lies at the base of the diencephalon or interbrain. The endodermal, anterior lobe of the pituitary gland - in principle, a hormone gland located in the brain - is distinct from the ectodermal posterior pituitary, which is part of the interbrain. Some of the hormones of the anterior lobe only have an indirect function: they stimulate the activities of other hormone glands. This includes the follicle stimulating hormone FSH and the luteinizing hormone LSH which causes maturation of the ova or sperm in the gonads, the adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH which stimulates the adrenal cortex, and the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland. For each of these hormone functions, it must have had its own conflict and the conflict content must have something to do with the target organ. Unfortunately, I don’t have much experience with the pituitary gland. For this reason, this chapter should be subject to reservations, because it is not substantiated in practice. Tumor of the milk duct stimulating cells of the adenohypophysis (prolactinoma)1 Conflict Probable chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16): One is given cause to worry by superiors (family elders, parents, authorities) that one won’t be able to support/feed their child or family. Examples ➜ The head of the family earns just enough to support his family, but he loses his job. ➜ A single mother no longer knows how she can support her children. a A 28-year-old, petite woman’s breasts increased in volume and began to secrete milk over the course of a six-month period. Her tumor markers were elevated and a prolactinoma was diagnosed. She told her New Medicine therapist that her breasts began to grow after she learned that her sister was pregnant. When asked, she energetically stressed that she never wanted children – she even broke up with her boyfriend recently. Her therapist asked her if she ever had recurring dreams. She answered yes and related the following nightmare: She has to walk through a room where all kinds of animal corpses are hanging from the ceiling with their mouths glued shut. When she was asked if there had ever been a situation in her life where an animal died, she struggled to answer. At this point, the therapist decided to do a regression. An image came to the surface: One of her hamsters is lying dead in its cage. She is five years old. She becomes emotional when she hears her father say, “Hopefully you’ll never have children, because you’d let them all starve.” (Her father often said intimidating things because it made him feel important). = Conflict, she is worried that some superior authority will accuse her of not being able to feed her child – This is why she had always ruled out having children! In the same session they performed a healing meditation for the little girl in her past. In the ensuing conversation, the patient 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 17, 34 SBS of the Anterior Lobe of the Hypophysis Pituitary Gland Anterior Lobe Chunk conflict due to nutritional state, body mass, pace of life E N D O 135 Hypophysis had to admit that she wouldn’t have any trouble feeding a child today, because she has a great job. Six months later, the patient called the therapist to thank him. Her tumor markers were down and her breasts had returned to normal. She got back together with her boyfriend and the couple decided to have a child. At the time of the call, she was already looking forward to having a family. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Growth of additional, milk-duct stimulating cells = cauliflower-shaped adeno-ca of the hypophysis of secretory quality. Release of more lactotropic hormones (LTH or prolactin) > Because of the proximity to the optic nerve, a tumor, which is too large, can cause visual field defects. Effect in women: Increasing the milk secretion if she is breast-feeding. If she not breast feeding, possible milky discharge from the breast (galactorrhea), libido decrease, absence of ovulation and menstruation (amenorrhea). Effect in men: decreased libido, possibly impotence or infertility. Bio. function Production of more prolactin so the children and partner can be better nourished with more milk. A higher prolactin level promotes nurturing behavior and reduces sexuality and fertility. (Pregnancy and additional offspring is the last thing that this organism needs.) Repair phase If fungi or bacteria are present: a tubercular, necrotic degradation of the tumor > normalization of prolactin production > reduction of milk secretion. Inflammation, swelling, headaches, possible double vision. Questions Symptoms since when? (Conflict before) Is my role as a provider in question? What is stressing me in relation to this? Ancestors: Did any relatives have similar symptoms/life issues? (The deeper cause of today’s problem can be found in unresolved conflicts). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Guiding principles: Realize that one is not alone in taking care of the family. There are relatives, friends, and social institutions that can help care for the family. “There is enough to eat. Everybody will be taken care of.“ Bach flowers: elm, red chestnut, optionally pine. Consider surgery if the tumor creates a problem due to its size (e.g., compression of the optic nerve.) Tumor of the adenohypophysis (adeno-ca), gigantism (hypersomnia), enlargement of the extremities (acromegaly)2 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) of being too small. Possibly also: One is “cut down to size” by superiors (parents, authorities) - feels like a “shrimp.” Examples ➜ A young animal is too small and does not get his share of his mother‘s milk. ➜ A schoolboy is teased because he is the smallest in the class. Conflict-active Increase in function, growth of a cauliflower-shaped adeno-ca of secretory quality > increased production of the growth hormone somatotropin. Conflict in the growing years > faster growth or gigantism. Conflict in adult years > enlargement of the hands, feet, lower jaw, chin, mouth, nose, sexual organs = acromegaly. Cardiovascular problems often occur. Bio. function Production of more growth hormones so that the individual grows. Repair phase Normalization of the somatotropin production. Due to inflammation, the tumor will grow even larger for a short time: swelling > headaches, impaired vision. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Consider surgery, if the size of the tumor causes problems. Short stature due to somatotropin deficiency Phase Persistent repair: Reduction of hormone producing tissue > deficiency of somatotropin > delayed 2 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 17, 34 E N D O 136 Hypophysis development or short stature, insufficient buildup of muscular tissue, too much fatty tissue. Therapy Omission of the evening meal, athletic activities and sufficient sleep raise the somatotropin level. Basketball, volleyball: In these sports tall people have an advantage > small people come into conflict, which stimulates the somatotropin production > growth. Ingestion of high-quality protein, such as eggs. Linseed oil. Sunbaths. Tumor of the adrenal gland stimulating cells (corticotropes) Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) - one has to take a new direction in life because of being pressured/forced by an authority. Undesired influence on one’s own path. Conflict-active Relatively rare tumor. Growth of additional adrenal gland stimulating cells > increased production of the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) > Cushing’s disease (p. 138). Bio. function With an increased cortisol or aldosterone level, one has a lot of energy. This enables one to find the right way for themselves or to continue on the right path. Repair phase Normalization of the hormone production, possible breakdown of the tumor by bacteria if present. Therapy Determine the conflict, conditioning and beliefs and resolve. OP if the tumor becomes too large. Tumor of the thyroid stimulating cells (thyreotropes) Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) - one feels compelled to increase the pace of their life by external forces. Conflict-active Rare tumor. Growth of additional TSH cells > Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism . See p. 141. Bio. function Through increased thyroxine production by the thyroid, the individual is faster. Repair phase Normalization of the hormone production, possible breakdown of the tumor if bacteria are present. Therapy Determine the conflict, conditioning and beliefs and resolve. OP if the tumor becomes too large. Hormone neutral tumor in the pituitary gland’s anterior lobe 30% of pituitary adenomas produce no hormones (anymore). One of the SBSs described above has run its course and come to an end. The conflict has been resolved, the hormone production has returned to normal. Abnormally short stature - dwarfism If you can rule out these causes: Under or insufficient nourishment, vitamin deficiency (vitamin D), disturbances in absorbing nourishment (see colon), chemo-poisoning, radiation damage, etc., then the following causes may come into consideration: • Territorial conflict constellation(s) (cerebral cortex) during the growth phase: simultaneously active Hamer foci on the right and left in the territorial areas bring about - in addition to physical changes - a cessation or delay in physical and psychic maturation (= retardation). Indicators: thin appearance, narrow shoulders, little muscle, late ovulation and/or late sexual maturation, so-called “baby face,” (see p. 370 and literature from Dr. Hamer). • SBS of the bones during the growth phase: long lasting, active, generalized self-esteem conflict - limitation of the bone metabolism and bone growth during the persistent conflict activity (see p. 339). Signs: anemia, bone and joint pain. • Testicles - conflict activity during the growth phase: demise (necrosis) of testicular tissue, decrease in testosterone production due to persistent conflict activity > lack of drive, slowing of muscle and body growth (see p. 298). • Pituitary gland - persistent repair during the growth phase (see p. 135). E N D O 137 Thalamus/Hypothalamus THALAMUS The grape-sized, symmetrical halves of the thalamus are part of the diencephalon and it is considered the “Gateway to Consciousness.” The core of the thalamus forwards all of the information that we should be aware of from the sensory organs on to the cerebral cortex. The thalamus filters this information with regard to its significance/insignificance. Without this filtering, we would be overwhelmed by sensory impressions. The conflict content is a result of the function: One cannot differentiate between what is important and what is unimportant and, thus, exposes themselves and/or others to danger. The thalamus also processes motor signals. The conflict content for this function is not entirely clear to me. SBS of the Hypothalamus Hormonal and autonomic imbalance, hypothalamus tumor Conflict Giving up on everything. Throwing it all away. Along with the fear of death, the classic diagnosis-shock conflict. Examples a A woman goes to the hospital to have a large lump in her breast examined. The doctor tells her flat out that she has only 4 months left to live. The woman has a nervous breakdown. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Wide-ranging hormonal and vegetative imbalance: restlessness, sleeplessness, lack of appetite, sexual anomalies/disorders and much more. Hypothalamus tumors are extremely rare (adiposogenital dystrophy). Bio. function Only a completely new start can save a situation that is already in progress (similar to rebooting a computer). Through the shutting down of all values, the individual can achieve radically new insights. Repair phase Slow normalization of the hormone levels/the vegetative system, brain swelling. Therapy Determine the conflict, conditioning and beliefs and resolve them. Guiding principles: “I will put everything that I previously did and thought to the test. What is live rally all about?” “Perhaps I may remain if I reestablish myself.” HYPOTHALAMUS The hypothalamus lies under the thalamus in the area of the optic chiasm and the third ventricle. It is connected to the pituitary gland by the pituitary stalk. This small, unpaired organ is the most important link between the nervous system and the hormone system. It produces various hormones (e.g., vasopressin and oxytocin) and is significantly involved in the control of the autonomic nervous system (circulation, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, sexual behavior). E C T O 138 ADRENAL GLANDS The adrenal glands (glandula suprarenalis) are paired hormone glands located at the poles of the kidneys. According to Dr. Hamer, the stress hormones dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline, are produced in the endodermal adrenal medulla. From the base substance cholesterol, the mesodermal adrenal cortex produces cortisol and aldosterone (also stress hormones) and male sex hormones. SBS of the Adrenal Cortex Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), hypofunction of the adrenal cortex (adrenal gland insufficiency, Addison‘s disease)1 Conflict Being thrown off course, taking the wrong path or having “bet on the wrong horse.“ Having made a wrong decision. Being on the wrong track/having fallen into the wrong hands. Examples ➜ Distracted, an antelope loses contact with the herd (= mortal danger, start of the AC-SBS). Running further in the wrong direction, this program becomes active - it becomes tired. However, if by chance it runs in the direction of the herd, the brake is released - the cortisol turbo kicks in - and it gallops ever faster in the right direction. > In this way, it has the best chance of finding the herd again. a The young woman grows up in a sheltered environment. Due to marriage and quickly having three children, she finds herself in a difficult situation: The children keep her busy constantly and, in her opinion, her husband does not pay enough attention to her. It gets to the point where the partnership is in doubt = conflict of having chosen the wrong partner. In the hospital, she is diagnosed with adrenal gland insufficiency = active conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a A man marries a woman of a different cultural background. At the wedding, he is confronted with these foreign customs, which he finds difficult to accept. He has the feeling he is making a mistake with this marriage. (See Rainer Körner, Biologisches Heilwissen, p. 257) Conflict-active Tissue degradation (necrosis), reduced cortisol production > “stressed fatigue.“ Important SBS with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The individual is forced to slow down when they are on the wrong path. In CM, acute adrenal hypofunction is called the Waterhouse-Friedrichsen syndrome. Chronic adrenal hypofunction = persistent conflict activity = Addison‘s disease > increased weakness and fatigue, lack of appetite (anorexia), nausea, weight loss, low blood pressure (hypotonia), low sugar levels (hypoglycemia), brown discoloration of the skin. In the repair phase of the relevant SBS, the cortisol values sink temporarily. 1 Dr. Hamer Charts pp. 67, 78 Adrenal Medulla Too much stress Adrenal Cortex Conflict, being off track, wrong path in life N E W M E S O Adrenal Glands 139 Adrenal Glands Repair phase Filling out and restoration of tissue, increased production of cortisol or aldosterone. Bio. function An increased level of cortisol or aldosterone means an extra jolt of energy > despite vagotonia, the individual is extremely capable of performing. This way, they quickly get onto the right path and can compensate for the delay. Questions For fatigue: Since when? (Conflict previous). What did I change at that point in my life? (Changed partners, place of residence, job)? Did I make a decision that led me in the wrong direction at the time? What have I been wrangling with since then? Would I decide differently today? Fatigue only during the daily routine or also on vacation? (Indication of the conflict). Does the fatigue have anything to do with certain people? Did I make the decision myself? Do I support the decision? If no, why did I say yes at the time? Is there a similar pattern in the family? Am I carrying something inherited from my ancestors? If yes, will I allow myself to leave this pattern behind me? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I pause within and reorient myself.” “I am allowed to decide anew.” “I am free to determine my own way.” “Now the journey can continue.“ Grapefruit juice. If there is no improvement in the hormone levels and if the symptoms require it (persistent, unresolvable active conflict), CM hormone replacement therapy with cortisol or fludrocortisone (aldosterone). Hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex with respect to cortisol (hypercortisolism, Cushing‘s syndrome) or with respect to aldosterone (hyperaldosteronism, Conn‘s syndrome) Same SBS as above. Chronic hypercortisolism resembles long-term cortisone therapy - high blood pressure, round and swollen face, bull neck, central obesity (abdomen), muscle atrophy = Cushing‘s syndrome. Chronic high aldosterone level: high blood pressure, lowering of the potassium level (hypokalemia), causing weak muscles, possibly cardiac arrhythmia, constant thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urinary urgency (polyuria), especially at night = Conn‘s syndrome. Repair phase Restoration and refilling of tissue. Increased production of cortisol or aldosterone. Persistent repair = Cushing‘s disease (excess cortisol), Conn‘s Syndrome (excess aldosterone). Note In the active-phase of the corresponding SBS, the cortisol level rises briefly. Active kidney collecting tubules SBS probably also play a role in Cushing‘s Syndrome. Insulin Resistance Cortisol raises blood sugar levels and is therefore one of the most common hormones known to counteract insulin. Excess cortisol can lead to insulin resistance (Prof. Dr. Baptist Gallwitz, German Diabetes Society). “Gestational diabetes” can be linked to insulin resistance/adrenocortical hyperfunction: Doubts about having chosen the wrong partner, not having had an abortion, fighting over how your life is ruined now. Therapy Questions: see above. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Guiding principles: “I am back on course and I can increase the tempo!“ “God is guiding my ways.“ “Everything is okay again.“ Bach flowers: hornbeam, oak. Surgery as necessary when symptoms require. Tumor of the adrenal cortex Same SBS as above (see p. 138). Phase Repair phase or persistent repair - restoration and refilling of tissue. A tumor that is as large as a fist develops; at the beginning there are fluid-filled cysts on the adrenal cortex > increasing growth of functional tissue = CM‘s “adenoma or cancer of the adrenal cortex,“ up to several kilograms in weight > increased production of cortisol or aldosterone = hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex. Therapy Questions: see above. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Surgery if the size of the tumor causes problems in the surrounding areas. N E W M E S O 140 SBS of the Adrenal Medulla Tumor of the adrenal medulla (pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma)1 Conflict Extreme tension due to too much stress. Something seems impossible to get done, e.g., at work or school due to time constraints or personal reasons. “The going’s getting tough.” Example ➜ Everything is getting to be too much. You do not know what to do first. ➜ An employee is overworked; he has too many duties at the same time and is under pressure to do everything as quickly as possible. ➜ Somebody caused a serious traffic accident. Conflict-active Increased function, growth of an adeno-ca of secretory quality (= pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma) > increased production of dopamine, noradrenalin or adrenalin - hyperfunction of the adrenal medulla. Symptoms: acute high blood pressure, racing heart, increased blood sugar, sweating, shivering. Note In the active-phase of the corresponding SBS, the adrenaline level also rises temporarily. Bio. function Extreme stress can be handled better. Extraordinary performance is made possible („naturaldoping“). Repair phase Function normalization, reduction of the tumor through fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria). Holes (caverns) in the tissue can remain. Persistent repair: hypofunction of the adrenal medulla. In the repair phase of the corresponding SBS, the adrenaline level also sinks temporarily. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Look for the conflict in this time period). Questions to determine conflict activity: sleep, appetite, cold hands, dreams, high spirits and many more. What stressed me at the time (and probably up until today)? New job, demanding boss, partner stress)? What changed in my life? (Additional work, unhappy partner)? Why can’t I handle it better? Have I spoken with the person it’s regarding? What do I have to change inside myself so that it will get easier? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Guiding principles: “There is nothing that can upset me.“ “Why should I get excited about that?“ “Milky Way” therapy. Bach flowers: olive, sweet chestnut. Surgery if the size of the tumor causes problems in the surrounding areas. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp.17, 27 E N D O Adrenal Glands 141 Thyroid and Parathyroid THYROID AND PARATHYROID The thyroid is shaped like a butterfly and lies underneath the larynx in front of the trachea (windpipe). The main tasks of the endodermal parenchyma of the thyroid is to produce thyroid hormones (T3, T4 = thyroxine) and store iodine. See also p. 42. The thyroid also produces the hormone calcitonin, which lowers the calcium level. Calcitonin is the antagonist to the parathormones of the parathyroid, which raises the calcium level. From a historical development point-of-view, the endodermal thyroid and parathyroid once directed their hormones into the intestines; today they go directly into the blood. The ectodermal excretory ducts of the thyroid once led thyroxine into the intestines. One can imagine these excretory ducts as being like the gallbladder bile ducts, which transport bile from the liver into the intestines. As far as I know, they no longer have a function but they still exist. Dr. Hamer discovered that they react with the so-called powerlessness conflict. SBS of the Thyroid Gland’s Basic Tissue Enlargement of the thyroid, thyroid tumor (adeno-ca, autonomous adenoma, toxic lumps)1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Not being able to grasp something (right thyroid) or not being able to get rid of something (left thyroid) because of being too slow. Simply stated: Conflict that one is too slow. Putting oneself under pressure to be faster or being put under pressure. Too little time for too many things. Examples a A retiree has worked for a family for years as a housekeeper. It is as if she were part of the family. One day, she is stunned when she is fired for being too slow! > She cannot hold onto her source of income because she is too slow. She develops a thyroid tumor in the active-phase. The tumor is surgically removed. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 20, 30 Thyroid Gland Chunk conflict, to be too slow Thyroid Excretory Ducts Powerlessness conflict Parathyroid Gland Chunk conflict with regard to muscle function E N D O 142 Thyroid and Parathyroid a An older employee feels that he can no longer keep up with the young people in the company. In his old-fashioned, thorough manner, he cannot keep up with the strict time limits. The firm‘s management would rather have a younger, more dynamic man in his position. They want him to retire. Soon afterwards, he is diagnosed with thyroid cancer > not being able to hold onto his job because he is too slow (chunk conflict). The tumor is removed. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Somebody has inspected a house that is for sale. A loan must be worked out with the bank. In the meantime, a cash buyer snatches up the house > not getting the house because of being too slow (chunk conflict). ➜ Somebody waits too long to sell his stocks and loses half his wealth as a result > not getting rid of the stocks because he did not sell quickly enough (chunk conflict). Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a compact, cauliflower-like adenoma tumor of secretory quality = “hard goiter (struma)“ > increased thyroid hormone production > increased T3 and T4 levels in the blood > accelerated metabolism, and possibly breathing difficulties without coughing or hoarseness due to swelling. Possibly a recurring conflict. Bio. function With more thyroid hormones in the blood, the individual becomes quicker. Repair phase Function normalization, tubercular, caseating degradation of the tumor if fungi or bacteria are present > normalization of the thyroid hormone level. If no fungi and bacteria are present > the tumor is encapsulated. In this case, the thyroid hormone level remains high. Questions When did the tumor begin growing? (Conflict some weeks/months before). Did/do I feel I am too slow? Am I putting myself under pressure? Does everything always have to happen all at once? Goiter in the family? (Indication of family issue). What has conditioned me with relation to my conflict? (Parents, ancestors, childhood)? Which new, inner direction will I decide to take? What can I change externally? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Guiding principles: “I am fast enough and satisfied with my speed. I set the tempo - no one else.“ “Haste makes waste!“ Bach flowers: impatiens, vervain. Hildegard of Bingen: lovage-mixture special recipe. Surgery, if the tumor causes a problem because of its size. Hyperfunction of the thyroid (hyperthyrosis, Grave‘s disease) Same SBS as above. Phase Conflict-active phase, usual persistent-active conflict. Increased thyroid hormone production caused by an increase in thyroid cells (adeno-ca). Symptoms: usually goiter, accelerated metabolism, ravenous appetite, warm and moist reddened skin, increased pulse, bulging eyes (exophthalmia), and wide open eyes, often weight loss due to high energy requirement, sensitivity to warmth, sleep disturbances, and lack of concentration. Note In the active-phase of the corresponding SBS, the thyroid hormone value goes up temporarily. By an SBS of the thyroid excretory ducts, there is also a slight increase in the amount of the thyroid hormone in the active-phase. Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life (see above). Questions see p. 142. Avoid stimulants, such as coffee, black or green tea, iodized salt, iron preparations, and long sunbaths. Acute inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis) Same SBS as above. Phase Repair phase - degradation of thyroid tissue. Pain, reddening, swelling, possibly fever and night sweat. Even higher thyroxin levels temporarily due to the disintegration of the thyroid growth. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. Lymph drainage massages, curd cheese compress, apply cold compresses (e.g., cloth with salt water). Questions see p. 142. E N D O 143 Thyroid and Parathyroid Hypofunction of the thyroid (hypothyroidism, myxedema) Same SBS as above, if a thyroid inflammation took place. If not, an SBS of the thyroid excretory ducts is probably in progress (see next page). Symptoms: delayed development (in childhood), weakness, apathy, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, lack of appetite, constipation, dry, doughy, puffed-up skin (myxedema), sunken eyes (endophthalmus), reduced sweat production, slowed pulse and reflexes, low blood pressure, shallow breathing, weight gain, and high blood cholesterol levels. Phase Persistent repair or the condition thereafter. Excessive degradation of the thyroid tumor > falling of the thyroid values to levels under the norm > under-functioning of the thyroid. Note In the repair phase of the corresponding SBS, the thyroid hormone value sinks temporarily. Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Questions see p. 142. Medication with a thyroid substitute, if thyroid hormone production does not restart after the conflict resolution. However, if one begins medication early, the thyroid reduces production even more so that there is no way back > life-long medication is necessary. This is also true if one has opted for a total OP. SBS of the Parathyroid Gland Tumor of the parathyroid gland (adeno-ca), increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels (hyperparathyroidism) and increased calcium levels (hypercalcemia)1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Due to lack of sufficient muscle activity, not being able to get something (chunk) (right side) or expel something (chunk) not wanted (left side). Simply stated: One does not get something because of being too powerless, passive, inactive or lax. Conflict-active Hyperfunction - growth of a compact cauliflower-like (adeno-ca), of secretory quality. Increase in PTH producing cells = “hard goiter“ (struma) > increased production of PTH (hyperparathyroidism) > increase in the calcium level due to depletion of bone calcium. By longer conflict activity, this can lead to decalcification of the bones (fibro-osteoclasis). Possibly recurrent conflict. Bio. function Increase in muscle activity through raised calcium levels. Repair phase Function normalization, tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor, normalization of the PTH level or encapsulation if bacteria are not present. Parathormone level too low (hypoparathyroidism) due to persistent repair (excessive tumor breakdown). Note Not only calcium levels in the blood that are too low, but also levels that are too high can point to hypocalcemia. Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Calcium supplements should always be combined with vitamin D (organically bound). 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 20, 30 E N D O E N D O 144 Thyroid and Parathyroid SBS of the Thyroid Excretory Ducts Goiter without thyroxin level change (only TSH level + or -) (euthyroid goiter, euthyroid cyst, medial neck cysts)1 Conflict Powerlessness or frontal-fear conflict (dependent on sex, “handedness,” hormone levels and age). According to my experience, when it comes to powerlessness conflicts, the issue of being “too slow” always has something to do with it. Explanation: Powerlessness is a feminine-passive reaction to an approaching danger. One has to do something quickly, but feels powerless/helpless. One cannot stop something bad from happening. Time is running out. One doesn’t do anything (but must) and is tense for this very reason. Examples Powerlessness conflict: (For examples of frontal-fear conflict; see p. 174 and 198.) “Something needs to be done urgently, but no one is doing anything!“ “My hands are tied. I cannot do anything.“ a Over the course of a year, an intelligent, 9-year-old schoolgirl develops a moveable nodule just under the larynx. In the hospital, she is diagnosed via ultrasound with a 2 x 3 centimeter cyst (CM: “medial neck cyst“ or “lymph angioma“). Conflict history: about three years before that, the little patient learns that her father is having an affair with her mother‘s best friend. After much “back and forth,“ her parents separate = powerlessness conflict on the part of the daughter. The little one longs to bring her father home to her mother. However, in this situation, she is helpless. Following two years of conflict activity, she slowly comes into healing, as it finally becomes clear to her that her father and mother no longer live together. She is fond of them nonetheless. Due to recurrences (“Why aren‘t Mom and Dad together anymore?“), the medial neck cyst described above develops. As the mother comes to understand that one thing is linked to the other, she wants to make a “family-campfire ritual“ where the father is also present. (Archive B. Eybl) a A father receives a letter from the school informing him that his daughter is being expelled. The girl had been having repeated problems, but he hadn‘t expected an expulsion. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Squamous epithelium tissue degradation (ulcer) in the thyroid excretory ducts, which are blocked in the meantime. Simultaneous slacking of the smooth muscle located underneath (ring-shaped portions) > increase in width. Painful pulling, slightly raised thyroid hormone production due to a functional linkage with the glandular tissue. Bio. function Widening of the ducts for better release of the thyroid hormones. > The individual becomes faster. Repair phase Restoration of the squamous epithelium, swelling but no pain, cyst development. This swelling is (also) diagnosed as a goiter or as a so-called medial neck cyst. In the case of syndrome, very large cysts develop. As these are not thyroid hormone producing cells (thyreocytes), but rather squamous epithelium cells, the level of thyroid hormones in the blood usually remains normal. (In CM: “euthyroid cysts of the thyroid“ or “retrosternal or mediastinal thyroid cysts.“) Possibly breathing difficulties due to swelling. Most often a recurrent conflict. Questions Symptoms/diagnosed when? (Conflict previous). Which situations am I powerless to face? Where do I think I have to do something? Which family pattern does my behavior prolongate? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. In case of recurrences, find out what the conflict and conditioning is. Resolve the refugee conflict, if one is active (see p. 266). Guiding principles: “I do not have to feel that I am responsible for everything.“ “I entrust it to God’s hands.“ “Everything will be alright again!“ Bach flowers: rock rose, aspen, mimulus lymph drainage massages. Curd cheese packs, cold packs (e.g., cloth soaked with saltwater). Hildegard of Bingen: lovage-mixture special recipe. Spray the neck with colloidal silver, frankincense, and tincture of myrrh. OP, if the tumor causes problems due to size. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 124 E C T O 145 Thyroid and Parathyroid Hot lumps, cold lumps Hot lumps, which can be determined through scintigraphy, are metabolically overactive areas of the thyroid tissue, usually associated with increased thyroid hormone levels. Cold lumps are metabolically underactive areas. They usually produce little thyroid hormones or none at all and thus, usually go hand in hand with underactivity. Both SBSs come into question: • SBS of the thyroid gland - recurrent conflict (see p. 141). • SBS of the thyroid excretory ducts - recurrent conflict or persistent repair (see p. 144). Chronic inflammation of the thyroid (Hashimoto‘s thyroiditis) According to CM, Hashimoto‘s is an autoimmune condition. Such a condition is not possible according to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature (see immune system, p. 24). However, the disease pattern is real: It is characterized by a period of short, usually unnoticed hyperfunction, followed by lasting subfunction. Phase Thyroid subfunction due to recurring conflict. Symptoms: Tendency for constipation, listlessness (possibly diagnosed as depression), hair loss, dry skin, slow pulse. The TSH level is usually elevated, but sometimes also lowered. Note Determining which SBS (yellow or red group) is running is not always clear. It is advisable to take both possibilities into consideration in order to work out the individual conflict. Q’s/Therapy See previous. E C T O 146 Heart HEART The approximately fist-sized heart lies behind the breastbone in the pericardial cavity or pericardium. The heart is made up of two halves: the strong-muscled left side and the thin-walled right side. Those are divided by a wall called the cardiac septum. Each of the two halves of the heart is divided into a fore-chamber (or atrium) and a main chamber (or ventricle). The chambers are connected via the mesodermal atrioventricular (AV) valves. The semilunar valves, which are also mesodermal, are found between the heart chambers and the large pulmonary and aortic arteries. According to Dr. Hamer, the atria are mainly made of involuntary muscles and are controlled by the midbrain. The ventricles are made up of striated muscles and are controlled by the cerebral white matter (metabolism) and the cerebral cortex (motor) respectively. The pericardium (cerebellum-mesoderm) serves as protective wrapper and friction bearings. Its inner layer (epicardium) grows together with the surface of the heart. Its outer layer is the actual pericardium. CM recognizes just one type of heart attack: Clogged coronary vessels restrict the supply of oxygen to the heart muscle tissue, which leads to their demise. If large areas are affected, the patient dies. But why do post-mortem examinations of heart attack victims reveal “pristine coronary arteries,“ while complaint-free, living persons have severely clogged coronary vessels (arteriosclerosis)? Why do stent-operated patients have no complaints at all, although their stents are already completely clogged after just a few years? Once again, it was Dr. Hamer who cleared up this contradiction: He discovered that there are two types of heart attacks with differing conflict contents and differing control centers in the brain. One can die of both and one can survive both, depending on the severity and duration of the conflict. The cerebral white matter-controlled conflict of being overwhelmed or outsmarted affects the heart muscle and causes the death of tissue in the active-phase. The cerebral cortex-controlled territorial-loss conflict affects the coronary vessels and causes arteriosclerosis in the repair phase. Ventricles - musculature Overwhelmed conflict Atria - Musculature Chunk conflict, inability to move the blood Pericardium Attack to the heart Atrioventricular Node (AV) (Control of the ventricles) Sinoatrial Node (SA) (Control of the atria) Aortic Arch Male territory-loss conflict 147 Heart Side note: The heart is not a pump The technical data of the heart and blood circulation casts doubt on CM’s pump theory: A pump, weighting 300 g (11 oz) and operating at 70 W, is supposed to push blood, which has five times the viscosity (thickness) of water, through thousands of kilometers - CM‘s estimate: 1000-100,000 km!) of vessels? 99% of these are capillaries, which for the most part are so narrow that the red-blood cells are pressed into single-file in order to pass through. As early as 1860, Chauveau and Lortet observed that during the systolic phase, the pressure in the left ventricle is lower than the aortic pressure, which, according to the pump theory, is impossible. Bremer observed the blood circulation of very young chick embryos before the formation of the heart valves. He determined that the blood, without any apparent driving mechanism, moved forward around the chick’s own vertical axis in spiral form. The spiral-forming stream of blood is only strengthened by the pulsating heart. A medium alone, however, cannot generate a vortex: There must be two unevenly viscous materials. Blood contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc. It is likely that these gases play a role in the generation of the vortex. The Austrian water researcher, Viktor Schauberger, came to similar conclusions about fluid dynamics by examining whirlpools in rivers like Chaveau, Lortet and Rudolf Steiner did when they were observing the circulation of the blood.1 Conclusion: The pumping capacity of the heart is only sufficient for a few meters. The rest - let‘s say 10,000 kilometers - is pushed forward by the blood by means of peristaltic vessel impulses, vortices, and largely unknown suction forces. The heart’s role may be better understood as the organ responsible for giving the impulses and keeping the beat. 1 See Raum und Zeit 1998, article series “Das Herz ist keine Pumpe“ No. 91, 92, 93. SBS of the Coronary Arteries Atrioventricular (AV) Nodes (control of the ventricles) Aortic Arch, Carotid Artery, Ascending Aorta Male loss-of-territory conflict Coronary veins (blue) Female-sexual lossof-territory conflict Coronary Arteries (red) Male loss-of-territory conflict Angina (pectoris) - chest pain/pressure/squeezing1 Conflict Male loss-of-territory conflict or female loss-of-territory conflict (dependent on sex, “handedness,” previous conflicts, hormone levels and age). Male loss-of-territory conflict means: loss of the entire territory or the contents of the territory. For example, someone loses his partner, his job or his rank. Someone loses his house, his business or his money. In the case of male loss-of-territory conflict, it is about the “external territory,“ in contrast to the female loss-of-territory conflict. Example For male loss-of-territory conflict (examples of female loss-of-territory conflict, see p. 196): a A 50-year-old, right-handed man has a bad argument with his boss = loss-of-territory conflict. He feels that his territory has been taken away from him. (Archive B. Eybl) a The father of a 9-year-old schoolboy is unfaithful. Afterwards, the marriage of the parents no longer functions - there is constant arguing = loss-of-territory affecting the coronary arteries of the boy. The intact family territory is gone. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 113 E C T O 148 Heart a Whenever the early-retired teacher (left-handed, 56-years-old), thinks about her former boss, an authoritarian school principal, she gets angina. She has suffered from this affliction ever since one morning three years ago when she came to school too late and was confronted by the principal. On the outside, she was able to remain calm but inside she was extremely tense. On the way to school, she had a head-on collision, which she only survived by a miracle. Besides that, she was abandoned by her boyfriend, the “great love of her life,“ just a few days before. Because of this powerful combination, she suffered a male loss-of-territory conflict affecting the coronary arteries. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 55-year-old, right-handed, professional printing worker has been suffering for the last 2½ years from cardiac arrhythmias (brief lapses). Conflict history: Five years ago, the old printing machine was replaced by a new one. The machine was the patient‘s sole responsibility and he grew attached to it. Now, the new machine is used by several coworkers at the same time. In addition, his salary has been reduced = territorial-loss-conflict affecting the coronary arteries. This has made the patient mildly depressed. Then, 2½ years ago, the patient was given a new job in the company and he came into persistent repair > cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy: decouple one’s identity from company, strophanthin. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell degradation (ulcer) of the sensitively supplied squamous epithelium on the inner surfaces of the coronary arteries (intima). > Increase in cross-section. The “hollowing out“ of these vessels is practically never diagnosed because CM looks for narrowing (instead of enlargement). Squeezing pain in the heart (angina pectoris). Possibly recurrent conflict. An active territorial conflict has the tendency to make someone authoritarian, domineering; one underscores their power. Bio. function The luminal diameter of the coronary arteries is increased > better blood supply to the heart > increased heart performance in order to be able to win back the lost territory or territorial content. For instance, to be able to win back a job or partner (= second change through “BioTuning“). Repair phase Repair and restoration of the squamous epithelium of the coronary arteries. Narrowing (stenosis) of the coronary arteries due to healing swelling = CM‘s “coronary heart disease“ and/or “arteriosclerosis.“ Repair crisis Small heart attack (little conflict mass): Slowed, irregular heartbeat at rest or larger heart attack 2 - 6 weeks after the beginning of the repair phase, if not in constellation. Questions Chest pain since when? (Conflict occurred shortly before this). What territory is this about? (Partner, family, employment)? Does it feel better on vacation? (Indication of conflict in daily life). When is it the worst? (Focus of the conflict). Which stress is the hardest for me to deal with? Which feelings do I have during this stress? Similar feelings in childhood? (Determine the conditioning, e.g., mother wasn’t there when I needed her the most or I was ignored during my childhood). Do ancestors also have heart problems? (Indication of family issue). Which similarities do I have with this/these ancestors? (Identify a common pattern). Therapy Determine the conflict and consider if one should resolve it, because when it has been singularly (without constellation) active for longer than 6 - 9 months, it may be followed by a heart attack. Consider: Should I focus on my development and take the chance of suffering a heart attack? My personal opinion is that it’s worth the risk. When the conflict hasn’t lasted too long, is low intensity or is a part of a constellation, the repair phase crisis is usually uneventful (e.g., short, stabbing sensations in the heart area while at rest). For your reassurance: The vast majority of us are in a safe constellation mode. In my experience, you can hardly control keeping conflicts unresolved anyway. (Goethe wrote: All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life is green.) Mental preparation: stay calm. Physical preparation: ouabain, in homeopathic form as g-strophanthin. All health inducing and strengthening measures, such as sufficient sleep, alkaline nutrition, etc. Heart strengthening foods: asparagus, honey, onions, red wine, red grape juice. Tea: rosemary, hawthorn, mistletoe, arnica, rose-blossom petals, etc. Hildegard: galangal powder and galangal-honey special recipe. Heart attack coming from the coronary arteries (coronary heart attack), arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries Same SBS as above. (See previous pages) Example a When a man, now 54-years-old, separated from his wife 7 years ago, his daughters also turned E C T O 149 Heart their backs on him. = Territorial loss due to losing his daughters. Two years ago, he married the woman that he loves. This year, he celebrated Christmas for the first time with his new partner’s two children. It was the first time since his divorce that he felt “like he’s in a real family” again = immediate resolution of his territorial-loss conflict (even though they aren’t his own children). Five weeks later, he suffered a heart attack and he barely survived. However, he quickly felt much better afterwards. Regardless, his doctors still wanted to perform a bypass surgery on him. After thinking about it, he decided against having the operation. To be on the safe side, he ordered a homeopathic mother tincture of ouabain (g-strophanthin) to have on his nightstand. He also takes hawthorn (Crataegus) – the g-strophanthin native to northern latitudes – every day. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase crisis: 2 - 6 weeks after the beginning of the repair phase, the patient suffers a coronary infarction (CM: “heart infarction“ or “heart attack“). Feelings of fear and the fear of death, intense chest pain, possibly extending into the back and the left arm, chills. Small heart attacks are much more common than a massive heart attack and are much less drastic in their effects. The pain does not come from the narrowing or closure of the coronary vessels, but from the strong sympathicotonic cramps of the vessel walls controlled by the cerebrum (according to Dr. Hamer: voluntary musculature) = local “vessel-muscle-epilepsy,“ which can also be generalized. With this type of heart attack, one finds “arteriosclerotic“ coronary vessels, but no damaged or atrophied muscle tissue. Possible conscious absences (blackouts) or unconsciousness (syncope/fainting). The rhythm center for the slow heartbeat also lies in the male-territorial part of the cerebral cortex. This is why the pulse is irregularly slow during a heart attack. The pulse can drop to 3 - 4 beats per minute and is accompanied by very shallow breathing (earlier: “apparent death“). Therapy If a heart attack is to be expected, see therapy on the previous page. Stay calm, procure ouabain. During/before a heart attack: ingest ouabain. If necessary, admission to a hospital for acute care. However, it is a judgement call, because CM’s emergency care often does/administers much too much. Afterward: After intensive care for this SBS, CM will often try to perform bypasses or implant stents, which, from the perspective of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, probably only make sense in the exceptional cases where one of the three major vessels is blocked. One must know that in the case of a blocked blood vessel, the body immediately forms parallel or bypass vessels (anastomosis) when a vessel is no longer passable due to injury or blockage = “natural bypass.“ A well-kept secret of cardiology is that stents or bypasses close up after a few months - nevertheless the patient continues to do well. See also p. 147. > Consider these types of interventions very carefully. Even though the heart attack is a repair phase symptom, after surviving one, the patient should nevertheless work out the causal conflict in detail (see questions, p. 148). One should be sure that no recurrences are going to take place (because this would also mean further episodes). We can only be sure of this when we know the causes of the conflict. > “I’m going to use my second chance.” AV block (atrioventricular block) Same SBS as above. (See p147) AV block is an unnecessary CM term based on the false assumption that the drop in heart rate is due to a conduction disturbance between the atria and the ventricles. From the view of the 5 Laws of Nature, the AV node, which controls the pulse rate of the ventricles, is directed by the right and left cerebral cortex and reacts to territorial conflicts. The AV node is the “sparkplug of the main chambers.“ Symptom Dramatic drop in the pulse rate (bradycardia) or cardiac arrest. Phase Repair phase - repair phase crisis: The pulse can sink very low, together with very shallow breathing (earlier “apparent death“). With longer conflict activity, it results in cardiac arrest. Therapy In CM, a pacemaker is implanted after emergency care. Pacemakers are probably useful in some cases: in chronic, recurrent, intractable conflicts. Their use must be considered carefully in each case. In my opinion - the symptoms should be the decisive factor rather than the patient‘s readings. For additional therapeutic measures, see p. 157. E C T O 150 Heart Myocardial infarction (infarction of the heart muscle)1 In the second type of heart attack, the heart muscle is affected, not the blood vessels. Conflict Conflict of being overwhelmed or outsmarted (cheated). Explanation: Being overwhelmed or outsmarted must also be seen in a social context, i.e., it has to do with other living beings (humans, animals). Being purely physically overwhelmed (e.g., sports, shovelling snow) is not enough. The fact that one has “too much to do“ does not lead to a conflict of being overwhelmed or outsmarted. There needs to be a boss, for instance, that puts a person under too much pressure. A common situation according to Ranier Körner: Someone wants to help another but cannot. > Helper syndrome: One can’t stand to see others suffering and can’t say “No.”> Danger of burnout. Examples ➜ One “gets robbed blind by someone“ = conflict of being outsmarted. a The son of a right-handed patient is a “permanent student“ = conflict of being overwhelmed, affecting the right heart muscle > cell degradation in the muscle tissue, myocardial infarction in the repair phase crisis during the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A man has been together with a woman for 7 years when he realizes that she is just using him to support her = conflict of being outsmarted and three other conflicts. (Archive B. Eybl) a A father learns that his son is probably going to lose his job, because he is unreliable = conflict of being overwhelmed - he cannot prevent the failure of his son. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 64-year-old, right-handed, already divorced patient meets a man and falls in love with him. The beginning the relationship is very good, but as years go by her boyfriend gradually pulls away from her. He is often unfaithful and there are frequent arguments. The patient feels used and suffers from the rejection by her partner. Her weight drops to 49 kg (108 lbs). Conflict of being outsmarted or overwhelmed affecting the left partner-heart muscle. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 54-year-old, right-handed man has a particularly good relationship with his grandson. He regards him as “his own child.“ They are like one in mind and spirit. When the boy is five years old, his daughter meets a man and decides to move far away to be with him = conflict of being overwhelmed by his grandson moving away affecting the RIGHT heart muscle (mother/child side - see note below). Three months later the man begins suffering severe heart attacks, which last for half a year = repair phase crisis = heart attacks. Then, everything is all right again. (Archive B. Eybl) a A mother of three has one highly gifted child who always skipped school. She was constantly caught between struggling to make her son comply with attendance requirements and avoiding the threats of the child welfare authorities (revocation of her custody rights). On the day the situation with her son was finally settled once and for all, she began to experience a regular series minor heart attacks. = Resolution of her feeling-overwhelmed conflict. After every heart attack, she was a total wreck. It took 10 years before she could finally resolve the conflict. (Archive Antje Scherret) Conflict-active Demise (necrosis) of the heart muscle cells in one or several parts of the heart muscle = muscle atrophy. Athletic and physical performance drops more or less markedly. One should not burden oneself, for this could lead to a break (rupture) of the thinned-out heart wall - however, only during a massive conflict of being overwhelmed. Repair phase Restoration of heart muscle tissue in the affected area - beyond the original state = increase in muscle (CM: “myocarditis,“ “myocardial sarcoma“). Repair crisis Smaller or more severe myocardial infarction (CM: “heart attack“) according to the size of the conflict mass = local epileptic seizure of the heart muscle: increased, irregular heart beat (= CM: tachycardia dysrhythmia), heart trembling, ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation, possibly chills. Light progression: increased pulse (tachycardia), “Heart throbbing, quaking in one’s chest.” Infarction of the left ventricle: acute drop in blood pressure, so-called “circulatory collapse.” Infarction of the right ventricle: acute rise in blood pressure, due to the coupling of the muscle of 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 61, 72 SBS of the Muscle-Nerve Supply E C T O 151 Heart Sudden cardiac death (SCD) According to CM, during the autopsy, clogged coronary arteries are found in 80% of those who die from sudden cardiac death. This is a clear sign of a male territorial conflict affecting the coronary arteries. The remainder - probably more than 20% - are thus attributed to crises of being overwhelmed in relation to the heart muscle. The characteristics of sudden heart death show that it occurs during the vagotonic phase, namely during sleep, in one‘s free time, while resting and in the recovery phase following sport activities. Both kinds of heart infarction can occur here: • Heart infarction coming from the coronary arteries (80%), loss-of-territory conflict - repair phase crisis: the center for the slow heartbeat (cerebrum right side) lowers the pulse rate toward zero > apparent or real death. • Infarction of the heart muscle (about 20%), conflict of being overwhelmed - repair phase crisis. • Sudden cardiac death during activity (for example, an athlete collapses on the field): usually a break (rupture) of the heart wall in the active-phase of a conflict of being overwhelmed > thinning of the heart wall > rupture through heavy strain. the right ventricle with the left diaphragm (breathing assistance muscle) and the bronchial musculature, breathing is impaired: breathing pauses in the night (sleep apnea), respiratory distress, possibly respiratory arrest. Bio. function Thickening and strengthening of the heart muscle in order to better deal with future demands (= luxury group). The heart then has higher performance than before. (This only applies to a clean, two-phase process, not in the case of a recurring conflict). Note The cardiac system goes through a turnover during the course of embryonic development. For this reason, in the heart muscle and the other mesodermal parts of the heart (valves) the mother/child and partner sides are reversed. This means for the right-handed, a crisis of being overwhelmed or outsmarted with regard to the mother/child will affect the right heart muscle. With regard to the partner, it is the left heart muscle. For the left-handed, the mother/child relationship that affects the left heart muscle and in the partner relationship, the right heart muscle is affected. With this kind of heart infarction, the coronary arteries are not “arteriosclerotic“ - i.e., “pristine, unclogged blood vessels.“ In this, CM performs no stents or bypasses, yet they find perished or damaged heart muscle tissue (and don’t know why). We can also see this link between heart muscles and diaphragm in the so-called Roemheld syndrome. The heart muscle infarction can generalize, meaning the heart muscle convulsions can spread to the musculature of the musculoskeletal system > pattern of a “normal“ epilepsy Questions To distinguish between coronary arteries and heart muscle: Was a coronary angiography carried out? (If arteries are OK > heart muscle). Pain during the infarction? (If yes > coronary arteries) Decreased pulse during the infarction? (If yes > coronary arteries). When was the cardiac arrhythmia/infarction? (An overwhelmed conflict must have been resolved shortly before). First occurrence of the symptoms? (If no: Go back to the first episode and determine the conflict that happened/was happening at the time). What overwhelmed/stressed me? Did it have anything to do with helping? Why couldn’t I deal with it? (Determine conditioning, e.g., during pregnancy, birth, childhood). Who “ticks” the same way in the family? (Find the conditioning). What formed this family member? Will I allow myself to leave this conditioning behind me? Is the conflict permanently resolved? (Estimation of recurrences). What do I definitely want to change in my inner/in my outer life? Therapy See p. 157. Qestions see p. 151. Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) Same SBS as above. Phase Repair phase - restoration of heart muscle tissue. Symptoms: weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, possibly racing heart (= infarction). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Bed rest. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally.

E C T O 152 Heart Heart Valves Self-esteem conflict related to the heart SBS of the Heart Valves Inflammation of the heart valves (endocarditis valvularis) The four heart valves prevent the backflow of blood during and after a heartbeat. The tissue belongs to the mesodermal inner wall lining of the heart (endocardium). Conflict Self-esteem conflict related to the heart. Example ➜ Somebody suffers from angina pectoris and other heart problems. ➜ Somebody hears the diagnosis that something is wrong with his heart. ➜ “My heart‘s no good anymore!“ Conflict-active Degradation of tissue (necrosis) in the heart valve tissue. Repair phase Restoration through increased metabolism and cell division = inflammation of the heart valve = filling up of “holes.“ Most often a recurrent conflict. Bio. function Strengthening of the valve. Therapy Questions: see below. See also p. 157. CM: antibiotic therapy in the case of serious symptoms if necessary. Ring calcification, narrowing (stenosis) of the mitral valve, calcifying aortic valve stenosis) Same SBS as above. These diseases are regarded as being heart valve defects (mitral valve defect). Phase Persistent repair. Due to recurrences, scarred calcifications occur, usually at the edges of the valves. The scar tissue can diminish the tightness of the seal, reduce the closing function of the valves (valve insufficiency) or narrow the lumen (stenosis). Note A narrowing (stenosis) of the aortic valve hinders the thrust of blood from the left ventricle into the main circulatory system > this can cause the ventricle to widen (= pressure hypertrophy). The mitral valve lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle. If the mitral valve is narrowed (stenosis) or if the seal is not tight (insufficiency), the left ventricle is no longer completely filled up > the body increases the volume of the left atrium or ventricle (dilatation). Chronic mitral or aortic valve insufficiency becomes noticeable when a patient has difficulty breathing when strained (dyspnea). Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict usually began long before the first symptoms). What was I thinking about my heart at the time? Was I sympathizing a lot with someone who had heart disease? Did I or did a loved one receive a serious diagnosis with regard to their blood or circulation? Were there those kind of worries during the pregnancy or in childhood? Have family members suffered from heart problems? If yes, am I similar to this family member? Do I carry these symptoms out of solidarity? (Work out the cause). Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Guiding principles: “I trust my heart.“ “I won‘t let anybody tell me anything else.“ Read “The heart is not a pump“ on p. 147. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Ouabain, possibly in homeopathic form as g-strophanthin (see www.strophantus.de). Heart valve surgery, if the symptoms make it necessary. N E W M E S O 153 Heart Hole in the heart (ventricular septal defect, VSD, atrial septal defect, ASD, patent foramen ovale, PFO, atrioventricular septal defect, AVSD) A hole between the heart’s atria (the so-called foramen ovale) is necessary for a child’s circulation when it is in the womb. This valve normally closes naturally in the first days after birth. In every fourth person it does not close completely. Only larger holes in the septum between the atria or ventricles are problematic, because oxygen-rich blood mixes with oxygen-poor blood with every heartbeat (= most common congenital heart defect). In our view, “hereditary” means inherited from parents/ancestors or karmically (from past lives). Conflict 1. Substitution conflict, when communication between the parents (right heart = mother/left heart = father) no longer functions. 2. According to Dr. Sabbah, family conflict due to “mixing blood”: Fighting/stress due to an “improper” marriage or marriage between people not belonging to the same religion or nationality. Example ➜ The parents fighting/separating during the pregnancy. Conflict active Incomplete closure of the opening between the atria (foramen ovale) after birth.

N E W M E S O SBS of the Cardiac Septum Atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia absoluta)1 The atria of the heart are controlled by the midbrain via the sinoatrial nodes; the ventricles are controlled by the cerebral cortex through the AV nodes. The atria consist predominantly of smooth muscles related to the intestines. The intestine’s principle of motion is rhythmically undulating (peristaltic) forward transportation. The rhythmic tightening and loosening of the atria corresponds with this principle. Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) of believing that the heart cannot take care of the blood supply or does not pump enough. Fear that something is wrong with the heart. Possible substitution on behalf of a relative/friend. “Retired athlete or sports addict” conflict. Also in the figurative sense: conflict that someone can’t keep the operation/business running (work or money turnover seen as pumping blood). Examples ➜ Someone hears the diagnosis: “Narrowing of the carotid.“ ➜ “Your coronary vessels are 80% congested!“ ➜ “We have found a blood clot in your daughter‘s brain!“ (Substitute conflict) a A 61-year-old man is an avid mountain climber. In the course of a hernia examination in the hospital, the doctor measures his pulse and notices irregularities. Suddenly, he is regarded as an acute heart patient. Hectically, they put him on a stretcher and transport him to the coronary care unit, although he had just ridden his bicycle to the hospital. Twice, he is hooked to a 24-hour electrocardiogram > 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 37, 38 SBS of the Atrial Musculature E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown 154 Heart SBS of the Pericardium conflict, that the heart does not pump enough. He tells himself: “What is wrong?“ Since then, the patient suffers from atrial fibrillation. (Archive B. Eybl) a An ambitious, 69-year-old, amateur racing cyclist is the oldest in his cycling group. This summer he had trouble keeping up with the others (pulse up to 190 according to his heart rate monitor). = Conflict that his heart can’t keep up with his circulation needs. Since then he has atrial fibrillations. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 60-year-old entrepreneur had been primed for performance by his father. In recent years though, it had been an increasing struggle for him to keep his business running. Every weekend (relaxation) he experienced atrial fibrillation. By recognizing the cause and now taking it easy on himself, he was able to heal himself. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Strengthening and thickening of the smooth musculature of the atrium. Increased muscle tension. Bio. function With strong atrial muscles, the blood can be thrust forward more easily - thus, circulation is improved. Repair phase Normalization of the muscle tension. The thickened atrial musculature remains. Repair crisis Attacks of strongly accelerated peristalsis (“heart colic“). Atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation: racing heart, feeling disquieted. Up to 600 beats per minute, clearly diagnosed with the electrocardiogram, the socalled peristaltic waves being absent. Possibly chills. Usually a recurring conflict. Note Atrial fibrillation is among the most common heart rhythm disturbances, but it is not life-threatening. Sometimes it is seen simply as “an irregular pulse“ or it is not noticed at all. Vicious circle: “Something is wrong with my heart!“ > Often, an inner urge to always have control over the heart. (Blood pressure measurements, heart rate monitor, visits to the cardiologist, etc.) Questions Is the diagnosis correct? (According to my experience, 50% of those affected do not have atrial fibrillation, but are experiencing an overwhelmed conflict or a female territorial conflict in resolution instead, see pp. 150 and 196). If the diagnosis is confirmed: Atrial fibrillation since when? (Conflict previous). Which stress did I have in relation to my heart or my circulation? Will I always remain top fit? (Sports addict conflict). Am I worried about someone else? (Substitute conflict). Do I have similar ancestors? Did my mother or father have problems with their heart/circulation during the pregnancy or in my early childhood? (Conditioning). Therapy The conflict is resolved. In case of recurrence, find out what the conflict and the conditioning are and resolve them.

Ouabain, possibly in homeopathic form as g-strophanthin. (For information and sources see www. strophantus.de). For steps in the repair phase crisis, see heart attack. CM’s current electrical cardioversion is rarely successful and, therefore, not recommended. The pharmacological (chemical) cardioversion using antiarrhythmic drugs is only sensible for short term use. Inflammation of the pericardial sac (pericarditis)1 Conflict Attack-to-the-heart or anxiety about the heart (usually from a diagnosis). Examples ➜ A real blow to or stab to the heart (blow, stab, electrical shock). Fear before a heart OP. ➜ Mental attack: “You have a sick heart!“ Or, “I have a bad heart.“ “I felt it deep in my heart!“ Notification of a heart OP. May also be experienced vicariously. ➜ Pain in the heart region due to angina pectoris or heart attack (very frequent). 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 47, 52 E N D O 155 Heart a A little boy loves his father, who has a heart condition, above all else. From the age of two years, he experiences, up close and personally, his father‘s attacks of angina pectoris. He is present when his father is taken to the hospital in an ambulance because of a “suspected heart attack“ = attack-to-the-heart conflict, experienced as a proxy for his father. When he begins school, the conflict is resolved. The healing Hamer focus is diagnosed as a “brain tumor.“ The boy dies from the effects of CM treatment. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, vol. 1, p. 246). a A 52-year-old farmer raises geese. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, the dog begins to bark. The patient runs outside to see what is going on. It is his neighbor, who is trying to steal his geese. At this moment, he is hit on the chest next to the left nipple with an axe = a real attack to the heart. 23 years later, after leaving his farm due to old age, he comes into conflict resolution with a major effusion of the pericardial sac. Over the intervening years, “his finger was on the trigger,” i.e., conflict-active. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Bd. 2, p. 488) a A 43-year-old woman wakes up at 3 AM because of a heart attack (repair phase crisis - right heart attack). She thinks she is dying. This happens several nights in a row. She is suffering from an attack-to-the-heart conflict. (Archive B.

Bio. function Thickening and strengthening of the pericardium in order to better fend off an attack. Repair phase Tubercular degradation of the tumor (pericardial tuberculosis) = pericarditis. Pain behind the breastbone, fever, night sweats. If the patient has no syndrome, the pericarditis is dry in the first part of the repair phase (pericarditis sicca). Afterwards, it is always moist (pericarditis exudativa). The border to the pericarditis effusion is seamless. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain. Note After the healing is complete, calcium deposits may remain. Following relapses, spotty or extensive adhesions of the pericardial layers (obliteratio percardii) can be found. A severe callosity of the pericardium (pericarditis constrictiva) leads to a lessening of cardiac performance due to reduced movement of the heart. Vicious circle due to diagnosis. Therapy The conflict is resolved, support the healing process. Guiding principle: “My heart is only temporarily weak. The heart itself is all right. It is only momentarily inflamed, which is a good sign. Everything will be fine again.“ Ouabain or in homeopathic form as g-strophanthin (info, sources of supply: www.strophantus.de). Lymph drainages.

Pericardial effusion (exsudative or transudative pericardial effusion) Same SBS as above, but with syndrome (active refugee conflict - kidney collecting-tubules, p. 266)) in addition. Phase Repair phase: Buildup of tissue fluid between the two layers of the pericardial sac during the degradation of a tumor = pericardial effusion. In CM, this is often an indication of heart weakness (heart insufficiency). The heart is not weak, but rather, its motion is restricted in the full pericardial sac or, in the case of a pericardial tamponade, it can barely move > continually high pulse rate compensating for the reduced amount of thrust, labored breathing by strain. Usually a recurring conflict. In some people, the pericardial sac is separated into left and right parts; for others, it is open. Accordingly, there can be a right or a left pericardial effusion or an encompassing one (= circular pericardial effusion). The right pericardial effusion causes breathing difficulties, because the right side of the heart, which receives blood from the lungs, is impaired. O L D M E S O 156 Cardiac insufficiency (heart weakness) Possible causes • Pericardial effusion: Attack to the heart: Heart insufficiency caused by reduced fullness of the heart (= diastolic heart insufficiency). Since the pericardium is filled with fluid, the chambers cannot fill up properly in the relaxed (diastolic) phase > performance drops even though the heart muscle is strong enough to pump. Effusion of the left pericardium “left heart insufficiency“ > poor bodily circulation > lowered blood pressure, if severe: lung edema. Effusion of the right pericardium “right heart insufficiency“ > weakened circulation in the lungs. • Heart muscle weakness (= systolic cardiac insufficiency). SBS of the heart muscle (myocardium) in conflict activity > demise of heart muscle cells = myatrophy > weak performance (see p. 150). • Heart valve defects: the most serious of these is a non-functioning aortic valve (see p. 152). Heart valve defect, heart valve leakage (heart valve insufficiency) Possible causes • Cicatricial growths on the heart valve: Persistent self-esteem conflict with regard to the heart > chronic heart valve insufficiency (see p. 152). • Pericardial effusion: Deformation of the heart due to pressure from the outside. Changes in the pericardial layers can cause tensile stress on the heart > temporary leakage of the heart valve > heart valve “insufficiency“ (see p. 154). • Cell degradation or cell growth in the heart muscle (myocardium). Shrinking of the heart muscle tissue (active-phase) and thickening in the heart muscle (repair phase) can “tense“ the heart so that the heart valves leak temporarily or chronically (see p. 150). Heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmia) Possible causes • Repair phase crisis of the coronary arteries: decelerated, irregular heartbeat (bradycardia). Control of the slow heartbeat in the right side of the cerebral cortex = male territorial area (p. 147). • Repair phase crisis of the coronary veins: accelerated, irregular heartbeat (tachycardia). Control of the fast heartbeat in Heart Only in the case of syndrome (active kidney collecting tubules, p. 266) can it come to a pericardial tamponade (massive effusion of the pericardium - one of the most frequent causes of heartrelated deaths. Note The pericardial sac can also fill up with tissue fluid coming from the surroundings (usually the ribs or breastbone during healing). This kind of pericardial effusion is called transudative pericardial effusion. Here lies the danger of a vicious circle: A patient, who hears a diagnosis of pericardial effusion or “heart insufficiency“ often sees this as a new attack to the heart. Questions Effusion since when? Which attack-to-the-heart conflict is being resolved? (E.g., diagnosis, heart ailments)? Are there indications of active kidney collecting tubules? (Water retention, weight problems, increased creatine levels)? Since when? (Possibly for a long time). What happened at the time? (Did I feel lonely as a child or shut out by my classmates)? Did my parents go through tight spots)? Therapy Resolve refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules). Therapeutic possibilities, see p. 157 and p. 268. Guiding principles: “I am safe and well provided for.” “I am thinking about people who are completely alone and have no roof over their heads.” Visualization: The effusion drains away over the lymphatic system and becomes less and less. Do not take cortisone. If necessary, nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory diuretic medications (diuretics). Puncture if necessary. O L D M E S O 157 Heart the left side of the cerebral cortex = female territorial area (see p. 196). • Repair phase crisis of the heart ventricles: accelerated, irregular or regular pulse, “Heart pounding in one’s throat,“ tachycardia (see p. 150). • Repair phase crisis of the atria: atrial fibrillation (see p. 171). Therapy for heart attacks (both kinds) The CM approach Medicines that promote blood flow in the coronary arteries (nitroglycerin), tranquilizers against fear (benzodiazepines), pain medication (morphine) and beta blockers for stabilizing the heart rhythm. These are followed by a stent or balloon catheter surgery and/or anticoagulants (heparin and enzyme-containing medication). Dr. Hamer is against this massive intervention. It seems better to accept the rhythm of “Mother Nature“ and wait until the repair phase crisis has passed. However, one must honestly say that for lack of a New Medicine Hospital, we know very little about the right procedure in the case of an acute heart infarction. The fact remains, CM’s false assumptions have led to nonsensical therapies, which have not increased the chances of survival. According to my experience, and those of thousands of patients, the botanical hormone ouabain, also known as g-strophanthin, not only helps with heart attacks, but it also helps with all kinds of heart conditions. It appears that this extraordinarily effective medication was removed from the market by the pharmaceutical industry during the 1960s for the sake of more profit. As it stands in 2020, g-strophanthin is difficult to obtain except in homeopathic strengths. For information and sources see www.strophantus.de. Follow-up treatment In CM, anticoagulants are given. They “work“ because they put the body under artificial stress (constant poisoning). Coumarins are used as rat poison and are even more damaging than ASA. From the point of view of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature: bed rest is what is most important. Blood thinners for a few weeks maximum. The current state of my knowledge according to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature • Calm the patient and have them lie down with their trunk raised slightly. • Give biological dextrose and maltodextrine 19 at short intervals. • Cool the head: cold affusions, cold compresses, ice pack. • Give ouabain/g-strophanthin. • Possibly inject cortisone. • Enzyme preparations (Wobenzym, for example), emergency drops (Bach Flowers). • If breathing stops (right heart), injections of respiratory analeptics and cold affusions. • Mental level > Guiding principles: “It is good that I have resolved my conflict. Now I will get through the repair phase crisis as well. I will try to stay calm and relaxed, in spite of the pain.“ “I put myself in God’s hands.” • Bed rest, if necessary for six weeks. If one gets out of bed during strong vagotony, the blood can sink into the legs and lead to heart failure. General heart-strengthening remedies • Ouabain or in homeopathic form as g-strophanthin ingested best in combination with magnesium chloride (MgCl2 ) - foot bath. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. • Cod liver oil, linseed oil. • Colloidal gold. • Teas: rosemary, hawthorn, mistletoe, arnica, rose petals and motherwort among others. • Natural borax internally. • Food: asparagus, honey, onion, red wine, red grape juice, among others. • Garlic-lemon drink cure. • Kanne Bread Drink. • Hildegard von Bingen: galangal powder (Thai ginger), parsley-honey wine and galangal-honey special recipe. • Breathing exercises. 158 SBS of the Bone Anemia (red blood cell deficiency)1 CM sees anemia as a shortage of red-blood cells (erythrocytes) or red blood pigment (hemoglobin). Through this deficiency, the blood is thinner and those affected experience a loss of strength. Red stands for energy and combat - two important aspects of life (Mars energy). Conflict Generalized self-esteem conflict: little self-confidence and self-esteem, reduced will to live, little combat readiness, withdrawal/retreat. The cause can usually be found in childhood: One feels like they are not loved or valued enough by their mother. Women are disproportionately affected - at birth: “Oh, it’s just a girl.” Examples a A child is delivered with the help of a suction bell. His condition is critical, so following delivery, he must remain in the hospital for two months. The mother is with him for part of the time and he is alone for the other part. When the boy is one year old, the parents begin to build a house as a “do-it-yourself“ project. Now at the age of 9, he is often away from his mother again, staying at his grandmother‘s = generalized self-esteem conflict. Unfortunately, the conflict recurs constantly because the boy has to go to school. On weekdays, he usually has cold hands; on weekends, his hands are warm. He always wants to sleep in bed with his mother. The red-blood corpuscles and the hemoglobin are lowered (restricted blood building 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 65, 77 N E W M E S O Blood BLOOD Blood consists of over 40% solids (blood cells or corpuscles) and less than 60% of a watery fluid called blood serum. All blood corpuscles are made up of mesodermal tissue. This is no surprise, since the bones in which they are manufactured are also mesodermal. Basically, we differentiate between red (erythrocytes) and white (leukocytes) corpuscles, as well as blood platelets (thrombocytes). See also: blood laboratory values on p. 43. Blood cells in a blood vessel Blood Cells in General Self-esteem conflict White Blood Cells “Fire department” conflict 159 Blood = anemia). Moreover, he is too small for his age (restricted bone growth). The best therapy for the boy‘s self-esteem would be to allow him to be with his mother whenever he wants. (Archive B. Eybl) a Following years of quarrelling with his wife, a married family father files for divorce. In court, the biased judge gives in to all of his wife‘s demands = generalized self-esteem conflict (bones) and ugly-genital conflict (prostate). At a physical check-up, his PSA is elevated (6.5). Now, the patient is at the mercy of CM‘s typical modus operandi: prostate surgery > impotence and incontinence > another self-esteem conflict > reduced blood cell formation > diagnosis of anemia > need for numerous blood transfusions. When the patient regains his self-esteem and enters the repair phase, he suffers from severe bone pain. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Degradation of bone substance and, at the same time, reduced blood production (hemotopesis) in the bone marrow > reduction in the number of circulating blood cells conflict-active phase or during recurring conflict = anemia. Symptoms: fatigue, pale skin, feeling cold, problems concentrating. For laboratory values, see p. 37f. Repair phase In the first part of the repair phase, the anemia worsens, but only apparently, because the blood is “thinned“ due to vagotonic widening of the vessels with additional serum (low hemocritic levels). In addition, vagotony intensifies the listlessness. The erythrocyte production is already underway at this point and for this reason the actual amount is already rising. Bio. function In the active phase: Whoever can’t contribute anymore will be taken out of the running. After the repair phase: Whoever knuckled down and took up the fight will be stronger than before. Note Anemia can also be caused by a lack of dietary iron (malnourishment) and chronic bleeding (e.g., increased menstrual bleeding or bleeding from the esophagus, stomach or intestines). Questions Eliminate other reasons (extreme menstrual bleeding, other bleeding, iron deficiency). Anemia since when? (Conflict previous). Why is the self-esteem low? (Girl instead of a boy, childhood, teacher)? What is the parents’ self-esteem? (Look for conditioning). What conditioned the parents? Am I going to fight if necessary? Therapy Find the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I am full of self-confidence! I love, value, and accept myself just as I am! I’m going to face life head-on and I want to fight for once!” Awaken the Mars energy. 3x/week eat soup cooked with beef bone, fish, poultry. 1 tbsp of cod liver oil daily or Vitamin D3.

White blood cell deficiency (leucopenia) Like the red blood cells, the white blood cells are also formed primarily in the marrow of the flat bones. They are called to inflammations (scene of the fire) and help there with the breaking down of foreign bodies and/or tissue respectively. Conflict Self-esteem conflict that one feels responsible for everything. One believes that they personally have to take care of all the problems (like the fire department and the white blood cells do) and, in doing so, reach the limits of their abilities. One always feels responsible for and tries to take care of everything. E.g., people who need physical care, the relationship problems of others, disputes at N E W M E S O 160 Blood work). The typical conflict of first-born children or the siblings of handicapped people (early responsibility). Example a A therapist who knows the 5 Biological Laws of Nature suffers through her son‘s very severe asthma attack. This causes her to have a substitute, self-esteem conflict in regard to the breastbone, because she cannot help her child and is powerless in this situation. In the active-phase, blood formation is limited. According to CM, she is diagnosed with leucopenia. The responsibility is best explained with her “susceptibility to infectious illnesses.“ As she recovers from this, she begins having severe pain at the breastbone and fourth rib = repair phase with an overproduction of white-blood cells. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte). Conflict-active Restriction of the blood production (hematopoiesis) in the bone marrow > decrease in white blood cells = leukopenia. If the blood formation does not start back up: recurrent conflict. Repair phase Small, unnoticed or actually diagnosed leukemia (see below and laboratory values p. 43). Bio. function At the end of the repair phase, more white blood cells are available. As such, inflammations in the body can be dealt with better. (Figuratively: One can take care of everything better). Questions Leucopenia since when? (Conflict since then and lasting up to today). Why do I believe that I’m always the one responsible? (Review childhood conditioning). Do I enjoy being used? Why? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Guiding principle: “I am easy-going and I put it in God’s hands.” See above for therapy recommendations. Leukemia, acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, polycythemia vera, mast cell leukemia, lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hair-cell leukemia)2 Same SBS as above. Leukemia is understood to be characterized by a large increase in the formation of white-blood cells, especially in their non-functioning early stages (myeloblasts). Conflict Self-esteem conflict (see above), but the conflict persists: I.e., one wrangles with taking on responsibility/taking care of everything, possibly with feelings of guilt. The diagnosis itself is then a real dilemma. Examples ➜ A child: “I am responsible for mommy and daddy fighting all the time!” a Eighteen months ago, a 50-year-old married woman is diagnosed with chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL). Conflict pre-history: four years ago, the patient‘s husband suffered a brain hemorrhage - he lies in bed unable to speak. The hospital doctors explain to her that improvements are only possible during the first year. After that, everything will remain as is. After hearing this, she begins working day and night for her husband‘s rehabilitation. She hardly sleeps and pushes everything - her own job, housework and the children, to the edge of her limits = generalized self-esteem conflict. It all becomes too much > reduced production of blood cells in the spinal marrow. In addition to the burnout, she is diagnosed with anemia. Two years later, when her husband has almost fully recovered and can even ride a bicycle again, the patient falls into a deep vagotony. Always active and full of life before this time, she is now limp, tired, and has absolutely no energy. A diagnosis of leukemia is made based on a leukocyte level of 10,800 to 13,500 (normal values are up to 9000). This is followed by frequent blood tests and a sensible wait-and-see attitude on the part of CM (instead of chemotherapy). In the meantime, the patient has learned about the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and now sees her “illness“ quite differently. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 30-year-old completes a trial period as a street sweeper. The hypercritical evaluation by his supervisor after three months: “I‘m sorry, but you are not even capable of sweeping streets! Look 2 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 65, 77 N E W M E S O 161 Blood for a job somewhere else!“ = generalized self-esteem conflict. For six months, he is dejected and discouraged. However, he soon finds a new job as a salesman that suits him rather well = conflict resolution. In the leukemic repair phase, bone pain occurs throughout the body. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 253) a A young mother refuses to breast-feed her two-year-old son, because she has a one-year-old daughter, who has a greater need for the milk. The two-year-old, who was being nursed parallel to his sister, interprets this as “mother does not love me anymore“ = self-esteem conflict with regard to the jaw. (“I am not allowed to suck anymore!“) As the boy begins to recover from this rejection, he comes down with a 40-degree fever and sleeps for almost 48 hours. For six weeks, he shows all the signs of leukemia: He is so weak that he can hardly stand up, he has pain in his bones and especially in his jaw, and he sleeps a lot. After six weeks, the little one has completely recovered. (See www.gnm-forum.eu/board) Phase Persistent repair through recurrent conflict. Constant overproduction of white blood cells. Ahead of the leukemia, a leucopenia enters the active phase. Through the overproduction, many immature blood cells make their way into the blood stream. At the same time, the patient often has pain in their bones and all the signs of vagotonia (tiredness, headache, etc.). Exacerbated by syndrome (active kidney collecting tubules). Bio. function With many white blood cells, the individual can take care of problem areas better. Questions With children, usually a substitution conflict (shedding light on the parents’ problems). When did the symptoms begin? (At the time, something large must have been resolved that was a heavy burden beforehand). Why have I taken so much upon myself? What conditioned me in this respect? What advantages to I get from having the illness? (I don’t have to prove it anymore because I’m sick now - receiving attention/love). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and permanently resolve. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Support the healing. Guiding principles: “I don’t need to carry this burden any longer - now it is easier.” “I will keep my morale up even if it takes a long time.“ “God help me to remain patient.“ Give in to theh fatigue and get a lot of rest. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Natural borax internally. For advice on supporting the brain symptoms, see p. 67. Blood transfusions if necessary. Histamine intolerance Histamine is primarily found in mast cells (type of white blood cell) and as a tissue hormone. One can also encounter high concentrations in certain foods: in fermented foods and drinks (cheese, olives, sauerkraut; wine, beer and vinegar). Histamine usually works as an allergy amplifier. Conflict Being-on-alert conflict: The world is unpredictable. One always has to pay attention, so that nothing happens. Often found in combination with choleric/aggressive people. “You always have to be on guard.” Example a A man’s coworker is aggressive and unpredictable. The patient always tries to neutralize his fits of rage through “friendly persuasion.” Over this period in time, he develops a histamine intolerance. When his coworker was fired, the symptoms disappeared. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Histamine amplifies repair phase symptoms and manifests itself primarily on the mucous membrane of the nose, eyes and intestines. Also, every neurodermatitis (epidermis) is amplified by histamine. Analogy: In the tissue, histamine lights a “fire” (inflammation) corresponding with the “fiery aggression” that is experienced in a conflict. Questions When did it begin? (Date as accurately as possible, work with a calendar if necessary). Which organ? (In the case that conjunctiva (eye) is affected: combination of visual-separation and being-on-alert conflict). Why/from what do I have to protect myself? Why am I on alert so often? What has conditioned me? Do my ancestors also have allergies? Is there a common pattern? Which belief system should I N E W M E S O 162 Blood Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia) A sufficient amount of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential for the formation of blood. Cobalamin is produced from food by intestinal bacteria with the help of a stomach protein (intrinsic factor) and is absorbed through the small intestine. Symptoms: the same as those of ordinary anemia: fatigue, weakness, pale skin. Possible causes • Active self-esteem conflict (bones) + active territorial-anger conflict (stomach ulcer). (see p. 338 and 223). • The stomach’s gastric parietal cells, produce too little intrinsic factor > recurring-conflict or persistent repair of the stomach‘s mucosa - conflict of not being able to digest something (chunk conflict, see p. 15, 16, 225). • A disturbance in the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine (malabsorption syndrome): recurring-conflict of the small intestine mucosa. Chunk conflict of not being able to digest something, usually with a starvation aspect (see p. 15, 16, 229). • Missing stomach or small intestine following a surgery. • Vitamin B12 deficiency due to malnutrition. Therapy According to the cause. Tendency to bleed (bruising, nosebleeds), hemophilia Blood clotting represents one of the most complex biochemical processes in the body and cannot be definitively assigned to just one SBS. The liver, spleen, kidneys, bone marrow and blood vessels act together in concert here and for this reason, we have to speak of an SBS-complex. The body’s goal is to have blood that is thin enough to flow easily, yet in the case of bleeding, clots quickly at the location of the bleeding. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia also belongs to this clinical picture. The transition from a tendency to bleed to a blood disorder is a fluid one. Inherited hemophilia almost always affects men. Conflict 1. Conflict that one was too closely connected with the family or a group and was therefore exposed to danger. One wants less family instead of more (distancing). Conflict that one should have gone their own way (divergent from the family way). 2. Conflict that one - themselves or an ancestor - endured such unbearable suffering that they wished to bleed to death. Examples a A female patient is happy that she doesn’t have much contact with her family. > Constant bruising, nosebleeds. a A man was effectively keeping his whole family at a distance. His violent father had died a year before. The man still hasn’t forgiven his mother for her indifference, because she would watch while his father beat him. leave behind me? Which new attitude could be helpful? Meditating on something? Can I change the actual situation? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and conditioning and resolve. If that doesn’t work: avoid situations of the type. Avoid foods that contain histamines. If necessary, short-term use of antihistamines. Malaria - sickle-cell disease (SCD, sickle-cell anemia) Malaria is caused by an infection by one-celled parasites (Plasmodiidae). The carrier is a specific type of tropical mosquito. The sickle-cell disease also occurs in areas prone to malaria and represents an adaptation to this disease. In its clinical picture, one finds - visible in a microscope - sickle-shaped, deformed red blood cells. The “disadvantage” of this disease is that some of the afflicted die (of so-called hemolytic crises). The “advantage” is that the survivors are hardly susceptible to malaria anymore, because the malarial agent - the Plasmodiidae themselves - cannot tolerate this deformation of the red blood cells. Conflict for the species; the malarial pathogen has to be opposed somehow. Conflict-active Single individuals die. Repair phase Deformation of the red blood cells, to take away the ability of the Plasmodiidae to survive. Bio. function Defence against a life-threatening parasite to protect the species. Therapy In my opinion, the symptom-oriented measures taken by CM against malaria and the sickle-cell disease are sensible, as are preventative measures against insect bites. Chemoprophylaxis is questionable. We don’t yet know the psychic causes that allow the infection to manifest itself in individuals. N E W M E S O 163 Blood Afterwards, she would even say to him, “You only have yourself to blame, always talking back to him.” The man also didn’t want to stay in contact with his older brother and sister. He developed innumerable pin-sized hematomas (petechiae) all over his body. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Reduced blood clotting. The severity of the clotting disorder corresponds to the intensity of the conflict. Repair phase Improved blood clotting. The blood becomes thicker through more blood coagulation factors. Biol. sense 1: The body tries to effect a looser arrangement between family members (blood cells). 2: To have a painless death in the case of being wounded. Questions How do I stand in relation to my group or family affiliation? Bad experiences? What are my thoughts on bonds and freedom? What conditions me in this regard? What were my ancestors like? Circumstances of my ancestors’ deaths? Was someone wounded/tortured? How do I feel myself in relation to this topic? How do I feel when I see war movies/people suffering? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. The CM therapies for the tendency to bleed and hemophilia are recommended without a doubt. Bleeding diathesis (hemorrhagic diathesis) - further causes • Bones: self-esteem conflict in the active-phase: the hematocrit value sinks due to insufficient production of blood cells > thinning of the blood. At the beginning of the repair phase, the blood thins even more because of the widening of the vessels and inclusion of serum in the bloodstream > lowgrade bleeding tendency (see also p. 338). • Blood vessels: self-esteem conflict: Due to persistent conflict, the blood vessel walls become brittle and are prone to bleeding. Usually capillaries are affected > dark red spots (petechiae): see p. 165. • Kidney collecting tubules: refugee conflict in the active-phase > fluid retention not only in the tissue, but also in the blood. Thinning of the blood, sinking of hematocrit > low-grade bleeding tendency (see p. 266). • Spleen: blood self-esteem conflict in the active phase: Blood platelets are “caught“ and “stored” by the spleen > the number of blood platelets circulating in the blood sinks > bleeding tendency (see p. 177). • Blood-thinning medications: Phenprocoumon and aspirin among others. Chemotherapies also effect blood clotting. Thrombosis tendency (thrombophilia), clotting tendency (hypercoagulability) A very important SBS - better said, an SBS-complex (because again here, several organs are working together). The blood clotting tendency is common and represents the opposite of the tendency to bleed. Here, the blood tends to form clots, which is unfavorable, because this increases the likelihood of venous thrombosis, strokes, myocardial infarctions, lung embolisms and infarctions - a decisive factor in life expectancy. The thrombosis conflict issue also occurs more often than that of the bleeding tendency. Conflict Not-sticking-together-enough conflict (solidarity conflict). The feeling that the family/group has to stick together better, so that one’s self or someone from the family/group isn’t exposed to danger. Typical for families that live in a foreign country: one is alone in a foreign land and has to stick together as a unit. Examples a A 50-year-old woman has already experienced two venous thromboses (clear indication of this SBS-complex). Originally from France, she moved to Austria with her husband and raised four children. Due to her strong homesickness, she felt the need to keep her family very close together. On every birthday and holiday, the entire family is rounded up - only then is she happy. = Conflict that one has to keep the family close together. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased production and release of blood coagulation factors (thrombin, among others) in the liver. Blood coagulation factors are protein molecules with a high binding capacity (like flour in the gravy). > Encourages plasmatic blood clotting and the formation of “red” thromboses when the blood flow is slowed (e.g., in the case of varicose veins or atrial fibrillation). Bio. function Improved connection between blood cells. - An attempt by the body to intensify the connection between family members (blood cells). Repair phase This SBS is more or less always running in the background. I assume that with the resolution of the conflict, a slow improvement of the flow properties can be expected. In any case, the chances of experiencing thrombosis should decrease. Note The break-up of families and nations is unfortunately being driven by the forces at play in the world (small children into nurseries, elders into nursing homes, individualization, the promotion of alternative lifestyles and multicultural identity). The almost universal use of blood thinners by older people (one of the most proscribed med- 164 Blood ications) is its counterpart at the medical level. > Destruction of the organic connections. Questions Why is the cohesion of my family in danger? Did we have to leave our homeland/region/move away from the family in the countryside into the city? Would I like to have a better sense of being connected? (More contact with family members, getting together more often, more correspondence)? What has conditioned me in this regard? (History of the ancestors; ask my parents)? What can I learn from this? What do I want to specifically change to resolve the conflict? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Alkaline diet, regular endurance training outdoors, water treatments, sauna, proanthocyanidin (grape seed extract), garlic, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), borax internally. CM blood thinners are prescribed too quickly. In my opinion, long-term medicating is rarely sensible. Phenprocoumon (brand name Marcumar) suppresses vitamin K in the liver and inhibits the production of coagulation factors. Coumarins (Marcumar) are also used as rat poison. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is less harmful. Polycythemia Polycythemia is characterized by an increased number of red-blood cells in the circulating blood due to an increased rate of new formation in the bone marrow. Possible causes • Bone SBS: at the end of the repair phase, the number of blood cells is increased for a short time (see p. 338). • SBS of the lung or heart: insufficient lung or heart performance > adaptation to inner oxygen shortage. • Exposure to high altitudes > adaptation to ambient oxygen shortage in the environment (high altitude training, mountain climbing). AIDS AIDS is not it’s own “disease,“ but rather a composite complex arbitrarily compiled of about 30 different symptoms from lung infections to foot fungus by the AIDS propagandists at the WHO. AIDS is also not an “infectious disease.” The HI virus has not yet been substantiated, nor have its disease causing properties ever been proven - by the way, this goes for all other so-called “infectious diseases.” AIDS or HIV was invented in 1983 by the physicians Montagnier and Gallo. If we take a look back today at the events as they took place, we can literally watch this cash cow being led to slaughter. “Shortly after the establishment of an HIV antibody test on the world market, Dr. Gallo and his colleagues at the National Cancer Institute published the discovery of an HIV-inhibiting substance. The whole world was amazed by the scientific achievements that followed: the discovery of the “fatal AIDS pathogen - HIV“ came first, then the development of a selection test for the “HIV-infected“ and finally, the presentation of a “cure.“ This cure is known as azidothymidine or AZT for short, zidovudine biochemically with the trade name of “Retrovir.“1 It goes without saying who the beneficiaries (profiteers) were and are (for the AIDS tests, see p. 47). According to Dr. Hamer, a positive HIV test can be the result of a trigger caused by smegma (= foreskin secretions). This means that the affected person experienced a conflict while the odor of the male member “hung in the air“ and was consequently stored in their subconscious mind. 1 See Dr. med. Heinrich Kremer, Die stille Revolution der Krebs- und AIDS-Medizin, 1. Aufl. 2001, Ehlers Verlag Why do people die of AIDS? • As a result of the diagnostic shock: fear-of-death conflict > lung cancer, territorial-fear conflict > bronchial cancer, indigestibleanger conflict > colon cancer, etc. • As a result of social isolation (desocialization) and the conflicts it brings. For example, “Watch out when you‘re with him - he has AIDS!“ • As a result of an actual disease, which was present before the diagnosis and through which, now becomes more significant. • From the multi-chemo cocktail. Those who survive for a long time are consistently those people who refused therapy, who somehow were able to accept the diagnosis, who recognized it as nonsense or at least doubted it or repressed it in their minds. Therapy • For the patient, the most important thing is to recognize AIDS for nonsense that it is, to leave the fear behind, and to stop the toxic therapy administered by CM. • With the knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, look at the individual symptoms as one does with every other patient, try to find the corresponding conflict and to resolve it. • After the long consumption of chemicals, it is necessary to purify the body: avoidance of the “pleasure poisons,“ exercise in fresh air, consumption of organic foods, water treatments, sauna, etc. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), 3% strength internally, natural borax internally (www.instituternaehrung-gesundheit. com), garlic and lemon drink cure. Linseed oil, omega 3 fatty acids, etc.. 165 Blood Vessels SBS of all Other Arteries Hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis) of all other arteries1 Conflict Self-esteem conflict with regard to the blood supply. Specifically: insufficient circulation conflict: 1. One feels cut off from the flow of life or the family. Life is passing one by. 2. One believes they have to make more effort (e.g., athletes) or more sales (businessman). 3. One feels constricted, like in a corset (by family, the conditions of their life, etc.). Examples a A patient’s husband forbids her to use their car to visit girlfriends or get on the internet. Due to this chronic recurring conflict a massive atherosclerosis forms in the right (partner) leg artery - and only there. (Archive B. Eybl) a An assembly worker works all day long with the attitude: “It should be going faster!” = Self-esteem conflict. After an extremely stressful period at the end of the year, he is diagnosed with an occlusion of the leg artery (= repair phase) > OP. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Degradation of cells (necrosis) in the inner layer of the artery (intima), generally unnoticed. Repair phase Restoration and thickening of the inner walls by means of cell division. Pain, swelling = inflamed arteries (arteritis). Local thickenings as a remaining condition. Due to recurring conflict, plaque builds up, the vessel lumen get smaller = arteriosclerosis. Bio. function Strengthening of the arterial wall, so that the blood flow can circulate better. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 67, 79 N E W M E S O BLOOD VESSELS According to CM, arteriosclerosis is the cause of heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolisms and other serious “illnesses.“ These “deposits“ are considered to be the response to microinjuries on the inner walls of the blood vessels or as “metabolic disturbances“ and “mistakes of nature.“ From the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, this is not a matter of mistake; rather, it is a matter of (sometimes overreaching) repair measures that the body takes in the framework of a Significant Biological Special Program or SBS. We have to look carefully at where the calcification is situated, for there are two conflict possibilities: certain arteries (those that develop from the branchial arches) react to territorial conflicts; all the other arteries and veins react to self-esteem conflicts. According to Dr. Sabbah, blood and blood vessels react to conflicts concerning the family. Aortic Arch, Carotid Artery, Ascending Aorta Male loss-of-territory conflict All Other Arteries Self-esteem conflict cut off from the flow of life or restricted by life’s circumstances Abdominal Aorta Self-esteem conflict, belief that the blood does not circulate well enough Vascular Musculature (Blood Pressure) Tension (stress) conflict 166 Blood Vessels Note Nutrition plays an important role in the pathogenesis and treatment of vascular diseases. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother-child or partner) or if it is a local conflict. Questions Diagnosed when? (Conflict probably already long before). Left or right-hander? Which part of the body? What does one do with this part of the body? Am I affected by a cardiovascular disease (my own or in the family)? What are my biggest health worries? Do I feel cut off from life or my family? Was there a fight that isolated me? Am I carrying something from my ancestors? Why do I feel this way? Therapy See below. Intermittent claudication = peripheral artery disease Same SBS as above. Phase Recurring-conflict or persistent repair: Excessive repair of the vessel wall > build-up of arteriosclerotic plaque in a large leg artery > decrease in the diameter of the vessel > obstruction of blood supply to the leg > leg pain and/or cold extremities due to oxygen shortages > walking must be interrupted with pauses because the muscles run out of oxygen = cramps in the calf of the leg. Note Probably combined with a brutal-separation conflict regarding the periosteum > bad circulation > shortage of supply to leg tissue (cold feet, pain in sympathicotonia). In the case of occlusion of large vessels, the shortage of oxygen can cause the outer appendages of the extremities to turn a dark color or to die off completely (gangrene). Therapy Questions: see above. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Gymnastics, exercise, water treatments, classic/acupoint massages, lymph drainages. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally and externally. Spirulina algae. Cod liver oil. For the rest, see: therapy for arteriosclerosis above. Hemangioma (infantile hemangioma (IH))1 Usually on the face or the lips. 75% of cases are from birth onward and appear as a reddish-blue growth. As opposed to birthmarks like stork bite or a port-wine stain (firemark), larger and deeper-seated blood vessels are also enlarged and there is a tendency that the growth may grow further. > For this reason, attempt conflict resolution. Conflict Family self-esteem conflict with relation to speaking (lips), thinking (head), hearing (ear). In children, the cause always lies with the parents/ancestors. Phase Persistent repair or recurring conflict: rapid cell division in the wall of a blood vessel = hemangioma. Questions Were ancestors also afflicted by this symptom? How did the pregnancy proceed? What touches/moves me? Is there stress in the family regarding the topic in question? Do I have the same beliefs as my ancestors? Similar situation in life? What would serve to resolve the conflict? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Vitamin D3. CM beta blockers if necessary. Aortic aneurysm (dilation) or narrowing (stenosis) of the abdominal aorta Conflict Self-esteem conflict of believing that the blood doesn‘t flow through fast enough or well enough. According to Dr. Sabbah: Conflict with a member of the family who wants one to do something in particular. Example ➜ During an examination, someone learns that the aortic blood vessels are badly clogged. a A patient has survived a heart attack. Afterwards, the doctor tells her that her heart performs only at 45%. She believes that not enough blood is circulating through her body. In the repair phase, it comes to an almost total occlusion of the abdominal aorta. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase In a persistent, active conflict, tissue in the arterial wall is lost > weakness > aneurysm. In persistent repair, the aorta’s inner skin thickens due to cell division > increasing narrowing (stenosis). Occlusion (blockage) of the aorta after countless recurrences. Note Normally, aneurysms are found in the abdominal aorta. Segments usually become arteriosclerotic = indication of a longer-lasting conflict. Bulges occur because of thinned, weakened arterial walls. Many N E W M E S O 167 Blood Vessels SBS of the Smooth Vessel Musculature Raynaud syndrome (Raynaud’s phenomenon) In people with Raynaud syndrom, individual fingers or the fingertips suddenly turn white as if they were dying. This happens especially in cold weather. Conflict Not wanting to touch death or cold (animal) corpses. Phase Recurring, active conflict/repair phase crisis. Tension in the vascular musculature > insufficient supply to tissue > white discoloration, pain during sympathicotonia. Note The vascular musculature (new-mesoderm) also plays a role in this syndrome. Example a The now 53-year-old woman worked reluctantly in her parents’ butcher shop until she was 25. She was disgusted, always having to work with the meat. = Intense separation conflict in relation to having to touch the raw meat (animal corpses). In cold weather, she regularly suffered from Raynaud syndrome. At 43, she made the transition to her dream-job, massage therapist. Since then, the symptoms have not returned. (Archive B. Eybl) Questions When did the symptoms begin? Experience(s) with dead people/animals? Corpse experience(s) with E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown aneurysms remain undiscovered because they are not noticed. If such an aneurysm breaks (ruptures), the patient‘s life is acutely threatened, because they bleed to death in the abdominal region (hemorrhage) > immediate surgery. Therapy Questions: see above. Find out conflict, conditioning and beliefs and resolve. Guiding principle: “My blood circulates just as it should.“ Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% strength internally and externally. Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). Spirulina algae. By rupture: emergency surgery. Vascular dilation in the face: telangiectatic rosacea, rosacea, rhinophyma Rosacea and then a rhinophyma can develop out of telangiectatic rosacea. These three clinical pictures are superlative forms of the same SBS. The resolution of the conflict can bring about repair/improvement at every stage. Conflict Self-esteem conflict that one is not recognized/accepted by the family (blood relatives). According to my experience, when the nose is affected (rhinophyma), the patient feels like they are not, but should be, present enough at the center (of the family/the action). (Nose = center of the face). Example ➜ Someone feels excluded from the family. a A 60-year-old mother of three children is divorced from her husband. Unfortunately, she is not invited to some family events. She feels like an outsider - no longer at the center of the family, a place she had happily enjoyed. She developed rosacea on her nose. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Recurring-conflict: Weakening of the capillary vessels (new-mesoderm) during conflict activity (daytime), restoration in the repair (nights). Vascular dilation (telangiectatic rosacea) after months > over the course of several years (rosacea) > possible development of an enlarged, red nose (rhinophyma). Bio. function Through the reddening of the face/red nose, one attracts attention to themselves (like a red light). One shows the relatives that they have the same (related) blood flowing in their veins. Questions Where does the conditioning, that I don’t feel accepted, come from? Who acts similarly in the family? Which internal reorientation(s) would be sensible and helpful? What can I change externally? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Alkaline diet. Blood vessel remedy: proanthocyanidin (grape seed extract), ginkgo, horse chestnut. Removal by laser as necessary AND conflict resolution. N E W M E S O 168 Blood Vessels SBS of the Capillaries of the Skin Stork bite (naevus flammeus nuchae), port-wine stain (naevus flammeus) Stork bites and port-wine stains usually appear on the face or torso. These red to purple-colored patches are dilated skin capillaries and usually already appear before birth. By applying pressure, they can be made to disappear briefly. Conflict Family devaluation-shock conflict suffered in the womb (usually experienced in symbiosis with the mother). The location provides information about the issue that was or is in question. Head, neck: Intellectual devaluation. Face: Devaluation in terms of recognition, prestige. Examp a An expectant mother receives terrible news during her pregnancy – in horror, she grabs her breast. ancestors? Dead life forms? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and conditioning and resolve them if possible. Warmth treatments. Guiding principle: “I recognize what was and make complete peace with what has happened.“ High blood pressure due to blood vessel tension The most common type of high blood pressure. Lower or higher blood pressure is exceedingly family-specific. From this, we can conclude that we are dealing with a family issue, i.e., a conflict that usually goes back over generations. Conflict Tension (stress) conflict. One believes that you can only get through life by exerting force, by being a “mover and a shaker.” One lets oneself be put under pressure or puts others under pressure. Dr. Sabbah: The family (blood represents the family) has to withstanding pressure/duress. In some families, there is the one who enforces order and the others who suffer under it. Through this friction, the blood pressure rises, at least on one side of the equation. a A 90-year-old retired woman is the “sergeant” of the family. Not only her family, but also her friends and acquaintances suffer under her obtrusive manner and commands. Her blood pressure fluctuates – depending on the situation. When it goes over 180, she takes a blood pressure pill. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Ongoing tension in the smooth musculature > increased blood pressure. Bio. function With the tension in the blood vessels, the flow of blood (family life) will be ordered more strictly. E.g., when someone stands up quickly, they don’t experience a sudden drop in blood pressure. One is always ready to deal with any situation. Repair phase Blood vessel tension returns to normal as well as the blood pressure. Possibly fluctuating blood pressure during the repair phase crisis. Note Often, a performance mentality that spans multiple generations. People who are “wound-up” and get upset over every little thing. Many seem calm on the outside, but are still tense on the inside = lack of serenity. Questions Why do I think that I have to be involved in everything? How do I deal with the opinions of others? What are the unspoken rules in the family? Which member of the family is the judge? Does discipline make sense? Therapy Less judgement, order and discipline. More tolerance of others: “Let them be.” Seen from conflict perspective, the positive effects of endurance training on high blood pressure are easy to see: One runs/hikes away from one’s constraints and into the expanses where there are no pressures or requirements > relaxation of the vascular musculature > decrease in blood pressure. See also p. 80. E N D O 169 Blood Vessels The child is born with a port-wine stain on its sternum. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ “I was so terrified; it froze my blood.” Conflict active ell degradation (necrosis) in the capillaries in the skin of the affected area. Repair/healing Restoration, new formation, reproduction and increased blood flow in the small blood vessels > Red coloring, development of stork bite or port-wine stain. Bio function Improvement of the blood supply. Nature draws the attention of the parents’/person involved to the specific issue, so that they can deal with it. Questions Incidents during pregnancy with relation to the affected body part? (Questions for the mother) Fighting/stress in the partnership/family, perhaps even before conception? Insults, offenses? Injury/accident/impairment to an ancestor at this location? (Ask relatives) Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and belief structures. Stork bites usually disappear on their own. I don’t know if port-wine stains can also be healed through conflict resolution. If aesthetically disturbing, removal by laser. SBS of the Leg Veins Inflammation of leg veins (phlebitis, thrombophlebitis)1 Conflict Ball-and-chain self-esteem conflict. Restriction of personal freedom. One carries around the (old) burden. Conflict that one can’t go back (just like the blood) or one feels that their family is a heavy burden. Example a A young woman becomes pregnant and sees the child as a burden or “ball-and-chain.“ Her freedom is suddenly limited. Day and night, she feels chained down. In the active-phase, cells break down. The restoration = inflammation of the veins in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a The patient feels like he is “imprisoned” at the workplace. He is constantly thinking about everything that he is missing out on “outside.” Varicose veins develop on his right (partner) leg. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell degradation (necrosis) in the inner layer of the vein (tunica intima). Repair phase Restoration and thickening of the inner layer by means of cell division. Hot-reddened veins, pain, swelling = inflammation of the veins. Repair crisis Strong pain, chills. Bio. function Strengthening of the venous walls. Note Strong swelling is often wrongly diagnosed as thrombophlebitis (occlusion due to thrombus + inflammation), although it is usually just a normal inflammation of the veins coinciding with syndrome. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. Wear support stockings, keep leg elevated, cold affusions, swimming in cold water, lymph drainage. Enzyme preparations, Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 1 and 3, alkaline diet, eat buckwheat often. Borax internally. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) internally. Hildegard of Bingen: Nettle juice and hemp compression special recipe. CM’s heparin injections are useful. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 68, 79 N E W M E S O N E W M E S O 170 Thrombosis of the leg veins (thrombosis, phlebothrombosis) Same SBS as above. Phase Recurring-conflict - persistent repair. A leg vein thrombosis occurs when a vein, narrowed by arteriosclerosis, comes into the repair phase: swelling + arteriosclerosis plaque + syndrome = occlusion (leg thrombosis). Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Resolve the refugee conflict if active. Guiding principles: “I am free and independent.“ “I have the right to enjoy my freedom.“ For measures to take, see inflammation of leg veins. CM’s heparin injections are useful. Varicose veins (varices)1 Same SBS as above. The German word “Krampfader“ (cramp artery or varicose vein) comes from the old high German “krimphan,“ from which the English words crimp and cramp are also derived. Crimped veins would perhaps describe the symptoms better. Conflict Ball-and-chain self-esteem conflict (see above). Example • A 59-year-old patient is looking forward to the freedom she will have when she retires. She is already planning trips and other activities. Two years after the beginning of her retirement, her mother becomes disabled. Although her mother is in a home, nothing will come of the patient‘s plans, because she has a bad conscience, when she doesn‘t visit her mother often. She perceives her mother as a “ball-and-chain.“ The conflict partly comes into healing when she is able to manage the situation better. Over the years, she gets varicose veins. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Recurring-conflict, persistent repair - the veins gradually inflame > thickening of the veins. The vein valves are also affected by this SBS, which leads to scarred degeneration > leaky valves cannot hold up to the columns of blood (blood moving vertically against the flow of gravity) > widening, thickening, and twisting of the veins = varicose veins. Note Dr. Hamer says that where there is thickening of the veins, the involuntary (smooth) vessel muscles could also play a role: thickening in the conflict-active phase, through which nature balances out the thinning of the vessel walls. The involuntary (smooth) muscles remain thickened after the conclusion of the SBS > thickened “crimped vein.” Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict (also injuries). Questions Did the varicose veins appear gradually or all of a sudden? (Suddenly would be an indication of a specific event as a cause). What makes me feel like I am tied down? (Child, invalid)? What do I miss? (Travelling, free days)? What would be the price of freedom? Which character traits can I develop through these limitations? Do my ancestors have varicose veins? Which common pattern is there? Which specific limitations did my ancestors experience specifically? Do I have to go on carrying this burden? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair can come to an end. Guiding principles: “I am as free and independent as a bird on the wing.“ “I let go of everything that is weighing me down.“ “I can do or not do whatever I want.“ Physical exercise, sport, gymnastics, swimming, etc. Do not sit or stand for too long, elevate legs often. Keep body weight down. Kneipp applications, cold water treatments. Lymphatic drainage, massage. Support stocking. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% strength internally and externally. Alkaline foods, especially buckwheat, linseed oil (omega 3). Colloidal silver internally and externally. Schüssler Cell Salts: No. 4, 9, 11, garlic and lemon drink cure. Cayce: Apply mullein leaves poultice and drink mullein tea. Liniments or poultice with cold, oak-bark decoction. OP, if complaints make it necessary. Do not have surgery at a stage that is either too early or too late. The measures above are also good for the recovery period after surgery. N E W M E S O Blood Vessels 171 Blood Vessels SBS of the Coronary Arteries Arteriosclerosis in the coronary arteries, left and right carotid, ascending aorta, subclavian artery (A. subclavia dextra), and aortic arch Conflict Male loss-of-territory conflict or female loss-of-territory conflict (depends on “handedness,” hormone levels, and previous conflicts, see p. 147 and 196 for examples). Tissue Inner vessel walls - ectoderm. These vessel sections are descendants of the branchial arches and are lined with sensitive squamous epithelium. Conflict-active Functional limitation, simultaneous slackening of the underlying smooth musculature (ring-shaped portions). Later, cell degradation (ulcer) from the inner surface (intima) of the affected vessel (stumps): These vessel “caves“ are practically never diagnosed because CM looks for vessel diameter narrowings (instead of enlargements). Pain in the conflict-active phase due to gullet-mucosa-pattern = angina pectoris. Bio. function The inner diameter (lumen) becomes greater > improvement of blood flow. Heightened performance in order to be able to retrieve the lost territory or territory contents. For example, to be able to win back one‘s job or partner (= second chance). Repair phase Repair and restoration of the squamous epithelium from within = CM‘s arteriosclerosis. This is often tied to persistent repair. Healing swelling > local vessel tightening (stenosis). Due to conflict recurrences or triggers, the layer (plaque) becomes thicker and more compact. With time, the plaque deposits harden the vessels = a complete picture of arteriosclerosis. Usually a recurring conflict. Note The most important principal substance for this repair is cholesterol. This fat-protein substance is the basis for almost all hormones and other important materials in the body (see p. 43). Arteriosclerotic narrowings (stenoses) of the carotid artery are diagnosed via ultrasound. Patients often become unnecessary fearful, since mild stenosis is normal with age. Deposits in the carotid are seen as a risk factor for stroke, which is not true from the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. In CM, the health effects of a blood clot (embolism or thrombosis) are overestimated. Healing scabs (embolisms) can really clog the vessels, for instance, in the case of a lung embolism. However, in most cases the body sends the blood through parallel or neighboring vessels (anastomosis). After some time, the body dissolves the clot by itself (= “recanalization“). Problematic are embolisms in thick, main arteries, e.g., the legs. Therapy If chronic: Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the persistent repair can come to an end. Alkaline diet, healing foods: apple, garlic, buckrams (Allium ursinum), spelt, buckwheat. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) internally. Borax internally. Ginkgo leaves, enzyme preparations, Schuessler Cell Salt no. 1. Blood-thinning medications are not recommended, unless they are used for a short period of time. E C T O 172 Blood Vessels Venous ulcer (open leg ulcer) Conflict combination • Brutal-separation conflict, afflicting the periosteum - active-phase or recurring-conflict > poor blood circulation - insufficient supply to the leg-tissue > cold feet, pain during sympathicotonia (see p. 347). • If the veins are affected (more frequent): “ball-and-chain“ conflict - recurring-conflict > poor blood transportation due to degenerated veins and valves > vein inflammation, varicose veins, usually affecting the inner sides (see p. 169). • If arteries are affected (rarer): self-esteem conflict regarding the blood supply and the localized area - recurring- conflict > poor blood supply - insufficient supply of oxygen - demise of tissue > usually the foot and/or leg outer sides are affected (see p. 165). • Disfigurement conflict regarding the dermis (“Just look at those varicose veins!“) - persistent repair or recurring-conflict. Thinning of the dermis due to caseation (see p. 327). Note Worsening due to over-acidification, lack of exercise, constant standing, and being overweight. Therapy • Resolve the conflict, so that the repair phase can start. • Alkaline diet, light, especially buckwheat , spirulina algae. • Exercise, gymnastics and, if needed, bandaging to provide relief. • White cabbage poultice (pounded until soft) on the affected area. • Hildegard of Bingen: artemisia-honey special recipe or bryony special recipe. • Colloidal sliver, natural borax internally and externally. • If necessary, compression stocking. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). • Vitamin D3, petroleum cure. • For further measures, see varicose veins. 173 Lymphatic System SBS of the Lymph Nodes Lymph node inflammation or swelling (lymphadenopathy, lymphadenitis, mononucleosis), the lymphatics (lymphangitis), lymph node cancer (malignant lymphoma, Hodgkin‘s disease) Conflict Self-esteem conflict, not being able to remove or purify something in the affected drainage area. Not getting rid of a mess. Dr. Hamer: “Local self-esteem-collapse conflict.” In actual sense: it‘s usually a tumor that‘s scary and one wants to get rid of. In a figurative sense: A burdensome thing one could not remove; unable to get rid of or purify something unpleasant or uncomfortable. Example a A woman is terrified day and night because of a tumor in her right breast > Growth of the axillary lymph nodes, so that the tumor can be removed more effectively. In CM, one now speaks of “metastases.“ (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Someone can’t get rid of the poison that is splashed over him. ➜ Unpleasant work piling up - coming in faster than going out. Conflict-active Degradation of cells (necrosis) in the lymph nodes - “holes“ like in “Swiss cheese.“ Usually goes unnoLymph Nodes, Lymph Vessels Self-esteem conflict regarding not being able to clean something, unable to remove a burden, unable to get rid of something unpleasant N E W M E S O LYMPHATIC SYSTEM Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is a “one-way street.“ In the venous angle (Pirogoff‘s angle)- which is located in the groove at the center of the collarbone - the clear fluid called “lymph“ flows into the blood. The lymph nodes are lined up on the lymphatic vessels like strings of pearls. The lymph nodes are the production site and “home” of the lymphocytes. The lymph system can be described as the waste channeling system of the body. Its duty is to collect metabolic end products, cell waste and excess tissue fluids, which are then eliminated through the kidneys. 174 Lymphatic System SBS of the Branchial Arches Non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma, cysts on the side of the neck (lateral neck cysts, branchiogenic cysts)1 In CM, non-Hodgkin‘s disease is called lymph gland cancer. However, Dr. Hamer has found out that it is not the lymph nodes that are affected by this “disease.“ Rather, it is the branchial arches. The branchial arches are an ancient building block of nature from the era of aquatic creatures. The branchial facilities of fish and amphibians, (which are also found in human embryos), develop into the gills. In human beings, there are six branchial arches. These little, nonfunctioning pipes lie in the central compartment of the mediastinum and reach approximately from the neck to the diaphragm. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 111 Branchial Arches Frontal-fear conflict ticed as there is no pain if the conflict was felt locally; only local lymph nodes are affected. If the conflict was generalized, lymph nodes throughout the body or the spleen may feel affected. Repair phase Restoration and replenishing of cells through cell division (mitosis) in the lymph nodes > the diagnosis in CM: “malignant“ = Hodgkin‘s disease. Inflammation of the lymph nodes, pain, swelling, and reddening. Increase in symptoms in the case of syndrome. After completion of the healing, the lymph nodes remain larger than before. Bio. function Strengthening and enlargement of the lymph nodes leading to higher capacity (luxury group). Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother-child or partner) or local conflict. Lymph nodes and white blood cells (lymphocytes) work “hand in hand,” for this reason see also p. 135. Further causes For swollen lymph nodes: repair phase “upstream.“ Any inflammation (= repair phase) is associated with increased metabolism and fluid formation in the intercellular space. The lymph nodes in the drainage area swell because plenty of fluids and waste products must be removed. No separate SBS of the lymph nodes (no division), but “high-tide” in the corresponding lymph section. For example, thick neck lymph nodes by the tonsils, throat or purulent tooth inflammation. Thickness of the inguinal lymph nodes with knee joint inflammation (see corresponding organ chapter). Questions Lymph node swelling since when? (The conflict must have been resolved shortly before this=). Where? What happened at this location? (OP, inflammation, pain, worry about a diseased organ)? Is it a substitution conflict? (Someone else is sick and one would like to remove it or there are accusations that one wants to be cleared up). In the case of children, always keep the parents/ancestors in mind. Which beliefs are at the root of it? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase, avoid recurrences. Elevated body positioning, rest. Lymphatic drainage, cabbage leaves poultice. Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 2, 4, and 10. Complex remedy Lymphomyosot. Teas: spiny restharrow (Ononis spinosa), elderberry, fenugreek. Spirulina algae. Garlic and lemon drink cure, colloidal silver internally and externally. Vitamin D3. Hildegard of Bingen: Columbine leaf special recipe. Lymphoma: Very large or aesthetically disturbing lymph nodes should be surgically removed - without chemo or radiation. E C T O N E W M E S O 175 Lymphatic System They are lined with squamous epithelium and react with pain in the active-phase, following the gullet-mucosa pattern. Except in embryology or in the context of the cranial nerves (branchial arch nerves), CM virtually ignores these passages. Conflict Frontal-fear conflict. Fear of approaching, inescapable danger coming towards us and we cannot evade it; a conflict of powerlessness (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). Examples For frontal-fear conflict (for examples of powerlessness conflicts see p. 144): ➜ Fear of cancer. a A young woman does not like children. Every time she sleeps with her boyfriend, she fears she will become pregnant = frontal-fear conflict > cell degradation in the branchial arches in the active-phase, non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 46-year-old, right-handed woman suffers from a frontal-fear conflict when her husband contracts kidney cancer. She becomes very interested in the subject and reads about the 5-year survival rates in the literature. She thinks to herself: “If he survives the five years, then he made it.“ Her husband survives the five years, and he is healthy; the patient comes into healing. Her neck swells up on both sides, she becomes weaker and weaker and has a dry cough. By means of a CT and an unsuccessful mediastinum endoscopy, a non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma is diagnosed. Two years ago, her husband‘s cancer came back > frontal-fear conflict recurrence. They both know about the New Medicine, try everything, but his condition keeps getting worse. Existential conflict (syndrome), because of fear for the husband > the patient swells up with fluid. Two months before the death of her husband, the pressure on her neck is so strong that she goes to the hospital for an examination. Through a CT scan of the thorax, it is determined that the superior vena cava is completely closed off because of pressure from the branchial arches. At this point, her heart capacity is only 25%. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Functional limitation and later cell degradation (ulcer) in the branchial arches, simultaneous slackening of the underlying, smooth musculature (ring-shaped portions) > increased cross-section. Later, cell degradation (ulcers) in the branchial arches, slight pain in the neck. Bio. function Better flow-rate and better breathing through widening of the branchial arches (only to be understood through developmental history). Repair phase Restoration of the squamous epithelium accompanied by swelling, inflammation. Pain during the repair phase crisis. In CM, this is termed “non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma,“ “lateral neck cysts“ or “small-cell bronchial carcinoma.“ In the repair phase crisis, possible migraines or headaches (forehead). Through a recurring-conflict, cysts develop and become relatively large, especially during syndrome. Questions Tumor diagnosed when? (Look for conflict previously). Which danger did I experience? Was there an accident? What changed in my life at the time? (Ask about problems in career, relationship, family). Which beliefs led me into this situation? What is the earliest conditioning related to this issue? (Pregnancy, birth, childhood)? What were my parents feelings in this regard? Therapy With a tumor diagnosis, determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve if active. Lymph drainage massages, breathing exercises. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% strength internally. Tumors in the mediastinum area are not operable, and are treated by CM relatively unsuccessfully with chemo - not recommended. E C T O 176 Lymphatic System SBS of the Adipose Tissue Lymphedema, cellulite on the legs, elephantiasis Conflict Self-esteem conflict of feeling unaesthetic on the legs and buttocks.1 + syndrome Examples ➜ A woman has heavy legs and feels unattractive because of them. ➜ A child feels in the womb that the mother is dissatisfied with her legs and buttocks and that she feels abandoned > similar conflicts later in life. Conflict-active Breakdown of adipose tissue (adipose tissue necrosis). Repair phase Restoration of the adipose tissue. In nature, there is no such thing as being too fat! A fat person is beautiful and desirable, because he or she is successful in getting food. Being thin happens through neglect. In persistent repair, a new buildup of adipose tissue varies. Usually a multi-generational conflict. Bio. function Increase in adipose tissue, thickening of the fat layer, because “fat is beautiful.“ Danger of a vicious circle. Note Getting out of this SBS is very difficult, because the daily frustration of glancing in the mirror or critical inspection of the “problem zones,“ puts one into a vicious circle. Possible accompanying causes: • Desolate venal system: SBS of the veins - “ball-and-chain“ self-esteem conflict (see p. 169). When the return circulation from the legs is blocked, the lymphatic system has to step in as an “overflow system.“ The capacity limit is reached quickly. > Liquid remains in the inter-cellular space. • Overeating and/or “junk” diet, lack of exercise: In other words, constant standing or sitting, insufficient natural cold and warm stimulation, and effeminacy. Always in combination with active kidney collecting tubules. Without syndrome, no fat legs (see p.266). Questions Why do I feel that I’m not beautiful? (Demeaned by father or mother)? Did my mother think she was beautiful? My grandmother? (No > family issue that wants to be healed, e.g., through open discussions, through meditation, family constellation) What is my attitude when I eat food? (Feelings of guilt, shame)? Is it possible that I gain advantages by being overweight? (E.g., being left alone by men, not being seen as a rival, a protective shield so that no one comes too close to me)? Which role does the body play at all in relation to the meaning of life? Therapy Find refugee conflict and self-esteem conflict and solve for real - e.g., get rid of the mirrors in the house. Accept body fully. Movement, exercise, swimming and do other sports instead of sitting. Support stockings by acute discomfort. Food restrictions or change in diet. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% strength internally and externally. Vitamin D3. Kneipp treatment, lymph drainage, massage. Complex remedy: Lymphomyosot. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 60, 71 N E W M E S O Swelling following acute injury or surgery Following a sprained joint, strain, torn ligament, bruise, contusion or surgery, the affected area swells up = repair-metabolic increase. The injured structures are “put under water“ in order to optimize the supply of nutrition, remove waste and to prevent tissues from sticking together. The swelling limits movement (like a natural cast) > immobility = biological function. Strong swelling with syndrome! Therapy • Elevation, ice pack, lymph drainages. • Cold compresses with curd cheese or clay soured with vinegar. • Only gentle movement or light stretching. • Enzyme preparation. 177 Spleen SBS of the Spleen Spleen enlargement (splenomegalia), inflammation of the spleen (splenitis), splenic abscesses, splenic cysts Conflict 1. Red Pulp: Self-esteem conflict in regards to the blood 2. White Pulp: Self-esteem conflict, for not being able to remove or clean something Examples ➜ A human or animal is wounded or is bleeding = self-bleeding conflict. ➜ Someone gets a “blood cancer“ diagnosis or a blood transfusion. = Self-esteem conflict in relation to the blood. a A young woman has, because of an intestinal SBS lasting 5 weeks, large amounts of blood in the stool. = Self-bleeding conflict. Platelet count declines at this time to less than 5000 = active-phase. In the repair phase, the spleen swells. (Archive B. Eybl) a A very health-conscious woman has a complete blood count done. The blood lipids are increased. Fearful, she goes back to the doctor and wants to determine the values again and again. > “Something is wrong with the blood.“ = Self-esteem conflict in relation to the blood. (Archive B. Eybl) a The 28-year-old student is almost finished with his studies, only his thesis remains. Although N E W M E S O SPLEEN The fist-sized spleen lies on the left side of the body underneath the diaphragm. For a long time, the spleen’s function was not understood, as its removal seemed to have no physical effects worth mentioning. Today, we know its main purpose: the removal of old or damaged blood cells (via filtering and “devouring“ = phagocytosis) as well as the storage of blood cells, especially thrombocytes for bleeding emergencies. CM agrees with Dr. Hamer in that the spleen belongs to the lymphatic system and that it is, in principle, a large - although blood perfused - lymph node. The lymph system and the spleen are entirely made up of mesodermal tissue. A healthy human being has a thrombocyte count of between 150,000 and 350,000 per liter. Red Pulp: Self-esteem conflict with regard to the blood. White Pulp: Self-esteem conflict, not being able to remove or clean something. 178 Spleen the subject is fixed, he writes nothing for several months. “I should already be done with it, but I do not know where to begin.“ = Conflict, not being able to move something forward. Cannot “remove“ the thesis from his to-do list. Healing comes when he finally overcomes the writer‘s block and completes the first pages > cell division in lymph nodes and spleen (white pulp). CM finding: “Numerous consistently pathological lymph nodes to 4 cm in diameter…the spleen with a longitudinal diameter of 14, 5 cm, is well above the norm…massive generalized lymphadenopathy.” The patient knows the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, and can deal calmly with the diagnosis. By themselves, after the conflict resolution, the lymph nodes decrease by half their size. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active In the first place: Necrosis of the spleen tissue - empty spaces are created for storing blood cells. The number of blood platelets (thrombocytes) in the circulating blood sinks; they are “captured“ and “stored“ in these empty spaces. In the area of the injury, however, the thrombocytes assure fast blood coagulation. Secondly: cell degradation in the white pulp (spleen necrosis) - holes like “Swiss cheese.” Only if the conflict was felt as generalized is the spleen affected - otherwise, only the lymph nodes react in the affected area (see p. 173). The active-phase is mostly unnoticed - no pain. Repair phase Increased metabolism, cell division = inflammation of the spleen (splenitis). This causes the spleen to swell up (splenomegalia). Afterwards, the spleen remains enlarged A splenic abscess may occur during the repair phase through a recurring-conflict. Splenic cysts indicate a completed SBS or a recurring process. Bio. function At the end of the repair phase, the spleen is larger than before. > 1. This leads to better blood storage capacity and filter capacity. > From that point onwards, the body will be better able to deal with heavy bleeding and, in case of poisoning for instance, the body can remove more damaged blood cells from circulation. 2. Improved lymph node capacity. Questions 1: Determine the phase: Blood count? (Thrombocytes increased/decreased)? Inflammation, pain? (> Repair phase). Which event brought on the repair phase? Splenic cysts: Have I ever experienced severe bleeding? Did I ever sympathise with someone who was bleeding/bled to death? Am I reading much too much into my blood count? Can I deal well with accidents? Were there dramatic bleeding incidents with my ancestors that have conditioned me? Dreams? 2: Enlarged lymph nodes in the body? Yes > What am I not able to remove? (Tumor, problem)? Therapy For inflammation of the spleen or an abscess, the conflict is resolved. > Support the repair phase. Lymph drainage massages, spleen compresses: wrap the abdomen in a warm, damp cloth with a dry cloth over it and go to bed (possibly soaked in salt water), garlic/lemon drink cure. Tea: fenugreek, fennel seed, kidneywort, toadflax, deadnettle, absinthe. H2 O2 3% internally. N E W M E S O 179 Nose and Sinuses NOSE AND SINUSES It is said, that of all the senses, the sense of smell has the strongest direct connection to the subconscious. Perhaps this is the reason why the nose reacts the fastest to an SBS in comparison to all other organs and why triggers (allergies) are so frequent here. The nasal cavity (cavum nasi) is connected to the four hollow sinuses between the nose and eyes (sinus paranasales) by narrow canals. The sinuses of the cheeks (sinus maxillaris), the sinuses of the forehead (sinus frontalis), the sinuses behind the eyes (sinus sphenoidalis), the ethmoidal cells (cellulae ethmoidales), also between the nose and eyes, and the nasal cavity are lined with endodermal intestinal mucosa and the ectodermal squamous epithelium that lies over it. SBS of the Epithelial Layer of the Nasal Mucosa Cold (rhinitis), sinus infection (sinusitis)1 Conflict Stinking conflict: Not wanting to smell something. “This situation stinks!“ “To get a nose-full.“ “Something stinks about it.“ Also, scent conflict: The scent cannot be picked up. Not scenting (sensing) what or when something happens. (A dog lifts up his nose to pick up the scent. When he picks up the scent, he can assess the situation). Examples ➜ Somebody is a non-smoker and is being subjected to heavy smoke by his friends. a Somebody feels that he is being bullied at work. He cannot put up with his colleagues anymore > “This situation stinks!“ (Archive B. Eybl) a A 31-year-old patient is cutting firewood in immediate vicinity of a manure pit. Suddenly, the farmer comes with the tractor and begins to mix and pump away the liquid manure . An unbearable stench spreads over the patient’s workplace, but he can’t quit and escape the stench cloud because has to finish the work. = Stinking conflict. Two days later, he comes into healing = a cold. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 122, 134 Olfactory Mucosa Stinking conflict or territorial-scent conflict Nasal Mucosa (ectodermal) Stinking conflict or scent conflict Nasal Mucosa (endodermal) Chunk-stinking or scent conflict E C T O HFs olfactory bulb in the cortex 180 a The pupils in a primary school class learn at the end of the school year that they will get a new teacher next year. = Scent conflict: “Not knowing what to expect.” Three weeks into the new school year, some of the students come in healing as they realize that the new teacher is as nice as the old one. > Collective rhinitis. (Archive B. Eybl) a The students at a high school are under pressure just before the Christmas holidays. Many of them flunk the math test. Stinking conflict: “These written tests stink!” During the holidays, half the class becomes ill = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Limited functioning and later, cell degradation (ulcer) of the squamous epithelium mucosa in the nasal cavity or sinuses. The longer the conflict lasts the deeper the damage to the substance. Dry mucous membrane, no bleeding, possibly dry scabs. Usually, these symptoms remain unnoticed. Bio. function For stinking conflict: Blocking out the unbearable stench through functional limitation. Repair phase Restoration, swelling, and narrowing of the nasal cavity, breathing noises (Stridor nasalis). Itchiness, possibly nosebleed, and runny nose (cold). Aggravated by syndrome. Repair crisis Sneezing, nosebleeds, possibly a feeling of being cold or chills. Questions When was the last cold? (Something good must have happened, e.g., finally the weekend, a good conversation). Which stress did I have before this? (Couldn’t stand something anymore or wasn’t able to assess something properly)? Also determine the circumstances of the cold before latest one and, if possible, the very first one: Which common theme appears? Are they related to a certain person or to situations? Why do I have a problem dealing with this (the trigger)? Which conditioning or beliefs lie behind this? (E.g. “I’m just too stupid.” “Nothing goes right when my mother-inlaw is involved.” “I have to plan everything or it won’t work out right”). When did the belief system form? Does it come from the parents or ancestors? How can I separate myself from it? Can I change the external conflict situation? How? Which new attitudes do I want to develop/cultivate? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If recurrent, find out what the conflict and triggers are and resolve them. Guiding principles: “It could be worse. It just stinks sometimes.“ “I will not take it so seriously and will enjoy life.“ “Even if I don‘t know what the future holds, I know that everything will turn out well, because I trust in God.“ Tea: marshmallow, peppermint, sage, ivy, elderberry, marjoram, yarrow. Saltwater nasal rinsing, salt water or tea inhalations. Colloidal silver internally. Essential oil blend for Inhalation: cajeput, eucalyptus, lavender, thyme. Lymphatic drainage, hot foot baths, walks in cold air. Vitamin D3, Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 3, 8, 10. Hildegard of Bingen: pelargonium mixed powder- and fennel dill special recipe, tanacetum powder. If chronic: red light irradiation. Chemical nose sprays only if necessary (for example, before bedtime) and only for a few days. There is a threat of damage to the nasal mucosa and constant swelling when treatment is stopped. Allergic “cold“ (runny nose), hay fever, dust mite allergy (allergic rhinitis) Same SBS as above. According to CM, allergies are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system. The body‘s own defense cells (T and B-lymphocytes) are said to suddenly turn against harmless substances like pollen, excrement, and house dust mites. Actually, allergies are always based on triggers (see p. 24). The nose is often affected. In the case of anaphylactic shock, there was the danger of death during the conflict. Examples a A 66-year-old retiree has suffered for the last 34 years from an extreme pollen allergy affecting the nose and throat membranes, as well as the conjunctiva of the eye. The allergy begins every year in May and can only be tolerated with the injection of cortisone and other strong medications. Conflict history: Forty years ago the young man, 24 at the time, and his wife wanted to have a child. Following a premature birth, the child died. Five years later, the head of obstetrics promises to do all that he can so that they are successful this time. When the woman gets pregnant again, she stays at the clinic starting from the third month so she can stay in bed until the child arrives. After E C T O Nose and Sinuses 181 Nose and Sinuses 6½ months - on the 15th of May - she has another premature birth. Stinking conflict regarding the mucosa of the nose. Not being able to “swallow“ the premature birth - related to the mucosa of the throat and visual-separation conflict - affecting the conjunctiva (eye). As a trigger, the May pollen becomes anchored firmly in the subconscious. The child weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) and is brought to another hospital where he is laid in an incubator. The doctor is not sure “whether he will survive the transport.“The son is now 35 years old and suffers, probably due to the birth trauma, from the same pollen allergy as his father. (Archive B. Eybl) a Allergic to wine: “The first time“ - A schoolboy is in love with one of the girls in his class. One evening, during a vacation week, the young couple are allowed to go out and celebrate by themselves. Together, they buy two liters of white wine and drink it all. The girl takes the drunken schoolboy by the hand and leads him to a mattress on the floor. They want to sleep together but the boy is too drunk = stinking conflict. Whenever he drinks wine, allergic sniffles are triggered in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 17-year-old teenager had a house-dust allergy for two years. In a conversation with an NM therapist, it turned out that he had been suffering a lot for the last two years, because he didn’t have a girlfriend. He always became moody at home (the reason he reacted to house-dust) after he sees his friend with his pretty girlfriend. = Stink conflict that he doesn’t have a girlfriend too. He got his first serious allergy attack after his first love broke up with him. As “therapy,” his therapist advised him to talk to his compassionate father about his situation. During the conversation, his father revealed to him that as a youth he also had similar feelings and went through similar disappointments. Since then, he has been able to deal with the issue in a more relaxed way. Now, he realizes that all this is “normal.” DMSO and colloidal silver were applied externally. After a short time, his allergy symptoms subsided completely. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase The length of the conflict activity can vary between just a few seconds and several days. Usually, the conflict activity lasts briefly and then the repair phase lasts longer = persistent repair - allergic cold. Note An additional conjunctivitis points to a visual-separation conflict, a swollen throat to a conflict of not- wanting-to-swallow-something, tightened bronchi to a territorial-fear conflict or shock-fright conflict. (A conflict can start more than one SBS.) Questions See also above. When did it begin? Work out the accompanying circumstances: Pollen trigger? Which? In which month is it in the air? Which stress was experienced outside? (Find the correspondence with the time of the conflict). Triggered by cold/heat? (Time of year, gets better on vacation or while travelling)? Dust mite trigger: Stress in the house at the time in question? Moving house? Food trigger? (Stress while eating/drinking, argument at the table/in a restaurant/in the cafeteria)? Am I the only one in the family with allergies? (Determine the family issue)? What sensitized me? (Pregnancy, birth, childhood)? > Questions for the mother: what stresses her? Will I allow myself to leave this conditioning behind me? What could help? (Discussion, healing-regression meditation)? Therapy Find the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. If this fails, you can try a CM desensitization. Antihistamines are useful in acute or threatening conditions, but not for long-term intake. Before that, the gentle measures on p. 180 should be tried. E C T O 182 SBS of the Lamina Propria of the Nasal Mucosa Purulent cold, nose polyps, suppuration of the sinuses (e.g., empyema of the frontal sinus) Colds with yellow pus and suppuration of the sinuses indicate that either remaining pockets of endodermal intestinal mucosa or mesodermal connective tissue (the lamina propria underneath the epithelium) are being degraded. Nose polyps are bulges of this endodermal mucous membrane. They can develop in the nasal cavity or in the sinuses and hinder breathing. Conflict Chunk-stinking conflict. Not wanting to smell something: “This situation stinks.“ “To get a nosefull.“ “Something stinks about it.“ Also, scent conflict: not being able to sense something. Not being able to sense what will happen. Examples a A young woman frequently has trouble with her parents. Most visits end disharmoniously. With her partner, she also suffers several bitter disappointments = stinking conflict - “Having it up to here (nose) with the constant arguing!“ After three years of almost constantly purulent sinuses, the patient is suddenly symptom-free when the relationship with her parents suddenly takes a turn for the better = resolved conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a An executive staff member of a technical office must look on as her boss makes one wrong decision after the other and steers the company in the direction of bankruptcy. More and more customers turn away. Once a month, she has a purulent nose and sinus infection. “I have had it up to here (nose) with this mismanagement!“ = recurring stinking conflict. After the company goes bankrupt, the patient finds herself an interesting new job (= completely resolved conflict) and from that point on has no more sinus infections. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman loves the warmer climes. For many years, she lived in a large German city and always had clogged sinuses during the cold seasons. For her, it particularly stunk when she had to wait for a bus or a train in bad weather. The conflict finally resolved when she got her driver’s license at the age of 33 and could drive a car wherever and whenever she wanted. At that point, she was no longer dependent on public transportation. (Archive Antje Scherret) Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a flat-growing tumor of absorptive quality or a cauliflower-shaped tumor of secretory quality (nasal polyps). Bio. function With more cells in the mucous membrane, one is better able to analyze and/or eliminate the smell. Repair phase Function normalization, inflammation of the sinuses, reduction of thickening of the mucosa or polyps by fungi or bacteria. Yellow-pus “cold“ (runny nose), possibly fever and night sweats. During conflict activity, the nose may run due to increased production of clear nasal secretions (mostly recurring-conflict). Chronic discharge from the sinuses can cause sinus (forehead) headaches.
