Repair crisis Pain, feeling of being cold, possibly chills. Therapy Questions: see previous page. The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. In the case of recurrence, find out what the conflict and conditioning are and resolve them. See also: measures on p. 180. When conflict resolution is not possible, nasal polyps above a certain size should be surgically removed (infundibulotomy) because of the possibility of respiratory obstruction. E N D O Nose and Sinuses 183 Nose and Sinuses SBS of the Olfactory Epithelium Loss or impairment of the sense of smell (anosmia or hyposmia)1 Colds cause insufficient air to reach the olfactory-mucosa (regio olfactoria) at the roof of the mouth. There is also an impairment of the sense of smell with a cold, i.e., a conflict of the olfactory-mucosa (fila olfactoria). That is what this SBS is about: Conflict Stinking conflict - not wanting to smell something. “This situation stinks.“ “I’ve had it up to here (nose)“ “Something stinks.“ Also, a scent conflict: not being able to sense/scent/sniff something. Not being able to sense/scent/sniff what or when something will happen to the person. (Dog stretches his nose up to sniff. He picks up the scent, he can assess the situation). This olfactory mucosa conflict probably has a territorial component, which is likely to differentiate it from the rest of nasal mucosa SBSs (territory-scent conflict). Examples a A mother gets a phone call from her son, her only child. He hurriedly tells her that he and his girlfriend are getting married. He says that the wedding will be kept to a minimum and so she will only be invited to the dinner after the civil ceremony = scent conflict affecting the olfactory mucosa. During the conversation there is a foul, sour smell from the kitchen‘s garbage can in the air. For two weeks, the patient has this foul smell in her nose. She thinks that something about her clothing must have this smell and asks others whether they smell it too = smell paranoia in the active-phase. Note: here, we have a so-called smell-constellation, i.e., there is one Hamer focus to the right and one Hamer focus to the left of the olfactory bulb in the cerebral cortex. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Impaired functioning of the olfactory mucosa (hyposmia or anosmia) without cell degradation. Aromatic material cannot be discerned completely or only to a limited extent. One can smell pungent odors like ammonia or vinegar because they stimulate the other nose membranes. Bio. function The blocking-off of unbearable stenches. Repair phase Restoration of sense of smell - no cold. Repair crisis Sudden loss of smell, analog to a sudden loss of hearing = sudden, brief impairment of the sense of smell. Note In constellation, there is smell confusion (smell paranoia, e.g., cacosmia). Therapy Questions: see above. 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. See cold (rhinitis), p. 180. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 141, 145 E C T O HFs olfactory bulb in the cortex Nosebleeds Possible causes • Tendency toward nosebleeds in the repair phase, especially during the repair phase crisis of a stinking or scent conflict. The healing sores of the nasal mucosa bleed (see p. 179). • Very strong nosebleeds due to thinner blood. See: tendency to bleed p. 162. Therapy • Depends on the cause. • Bleeding: Bow the head slightly forward, close the nose with thumb and forefinger for 10 minutes, cool the back of the neck. • Hildegard of Bingen: dill-achillea powder special recipe. 184 SBS of the Larynx Mucosa Inflammation of the larynx (laryngitis), cancer of the larynx (larynx carcinoma or papilloma)1 Conflict Shock-fright or speechlessness conflict or territorial-fear conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels, and previous conflicts). One is startled because of a sudden threat or noise. One cannot speak loud enough or scream (teacher and football coach conflict). “So scared I couldn’t scream.“ “To be scared to death.“ “Deer in the headlights, (rendered rigid and mute).“ “The words are stuck in my throat.“ Typically, the shock-fright conflict is the feminine-passive reaction to a threat. The territorial-fear conflict would be the male-active reaction. (Females tend to react with passive fright while males tend to react by attacking). Examples The following are examples of shock-fright conflicts: (examples of territorial-fear conflicts see pp. 191) ➜ In a conference, somebody urgently wants to say something, but is unable to say a word. ➜ Someone is put under pressure (be it for time or an appointment). a A pregnant woman drives head-on into another car. She is thrown out of her car. She greatly fears losing her baby = shock-fright conflict. Degradation of mucosa cells in the active phase, restoration in the repair phase = laryngitis. (See Gisela Hompesch, Meine Heilung von Krebs, p. 57) a A person is surprised with bad news over the telephone = shock-fright conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a The husband of a 60-year-old, married, left-handed retiree has been suffering with heart problems for the last several years. In the last months, they have been getting worse. Now, her husband is constantly asking the patient to do things and take care of things for him. She feels that her husband is robbing her of her personal freedom and time = shock-fright and territorial-fear conflict. The problem is that he is really starting to need more care and cannot manage by himself - her personal freedom is getting smaller and smaller. As her husband is sent off to a rehabspa for a few weeks, the patient comes into healing (at least for the time being) > laryngitis and 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 124 E C T O Larynx Larynx Mucosa Shock-fright conflict or speechlessness conflict Larynx Muscle Shock-fright conflict or speechlessness conflict (motor) LARYNX The larynx lies at the junction of the throat and the windpipe. It is made up of three cartilages, which are bound with muscles and ligaments. One protrudes as the so-called Adam‘s apple. The two tasks of the larynx 1. Swallowing: when we swallow, the epiglottis closes the windpipe and leads the chewed food into the esophagus. 2. Making sound: with the help of the vocal chords, the larynx plays a role in the production of sound and language. The inner surfaces of the larynx and vocal chords are lined with squamous mucous membrane, under which lies voluntary (striated) and involuntary (smooth) muscles. The larynx is small. However, from the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, it is an important organ, since conflicts of the larynx belong to the spectrum of territorial conflicts. 185 Larynx tightening of the larynx. (Archive B. Eybl) a Four years ago, an entrepreneur turns over his company to his successor. He steps down just one step at a time, since the continuation of his life‘s work means a lot to him. One day, an old business friend with whom he has worked closely for the last thirty years contacts him and regretfully tells him that he wants to end their cooperation at the end of the year = shock-fright conflict (larynx), territorial-marking conflict (bladder) and chunk conflict (colon). Four days later, he comes into healing because he makes it clear to himself: “It is no longer your firm. It‘s none of your business. And it‘s not your fault, so don‘t drive yourself crazy!“ (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at) Conflict-active Functional limitation, cell degradation later in the squamous mucosa or the vocal cords. Simultaneous slackening of the underlying, according to Dr. Hamer, striated musculature. The voice may be weakened or altered. The conflict-active phase, however, usually proceeds without symptoms. No pain. Bio. function Through limited vocal ability and poor enunciation, one withdraws and has time to think (passive reaction). Repair phase Restoration of the larynx mucosa = laryngitis or cancer of the larynx: swelling, reddening, pain, alteration of the voice, rough voice, hoarseness or loss of voice. Strong swelling: the difficulty breathing in, along with syndrome. Cough due to “healing-itch.“ Often, recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Coughing attacks involving the larynx musculature, pain, feelings of being cold, possibly chills. Note Cancer of the larynx is diagnosed in the repair phase. Usually in combination with syndrome. Questions When did the inflammation of the larynx begin? (A territorial conflict must have been resolved shortly before this. E.g., through a vacation, reconciliation/discussion, a reunion). What was stressing me before this? What was I unable/not allowed to say? Was this the first episode? (If no, then work out the original conflict, because the later episodes are based on this one). What has conditioned me, making me unable to deal with the issue? (Early experiences in childhood, the mother’s stress during pregnancy/birth or ancestral stress in similar situations > listen to the ancestors’ story. Which new attitude is called for? Am I ready to leave the past/old issues behind me? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If recurring, find out what the conflict and conditioning are and resolve them. Guiding principles: “It can‘t cost me more than my head.“ “I am calm, for I trust in my divine guidance.“ “Next time I‘ll speak freely.“ Walks in cold air. Compresses with curd cheese or salt water. Tea: mallow (Malva sylvestris), blueberry, lungwort, sage with honey. Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 3, 4 and 8. Colloidal silver internally. Vitamin D3 (daily dose of cod liver oil). Hildegard of Bingen: horehound and mullein-fennel special recipe Vocal cord polyps Same SBS as above. The main symptom of vocal chord polyps is persistent hoarseness. Sometimes cough. Phase Recurring-conflict - persistent repair: excessive restoration of the mucosa > growth of vocal chord polyps. Therapy Questions: see above. Find conflict and conditioning and resolve them so that the persistent repair comes to an end. Possibly removal via surgery, should the conflict resolution not change anything. Stuttering (stammering) Conflict According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: One is afraid (shock-fright), but doesn’t scream - doesn’t let it out. Bio. function Winning time - one has more time to give an answer. Phase Conflict-active. The impulse to stutter comes exclusively from the brain (no organ changes). Therapy Questions: see above. Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning (e.g., ancestors didn’t put things into words, repressed important words). In a regression, the screaming in the specific situations should be made up for. > Good prospects for recovery, because the brain’s “switch” must only be flipped. E C T O 186 Larynx Constriction of the larynx - laryngeal asthma1 With asthma or constriction of the larynx, inhalation is impaired. This leads to prolonged and heavier breathing (gasping for air when inhaling). The SBS of the vocal cord musculature - what we’re talking about here - is often coupled with an SBS of the laryngeal mucosa. In this case, there is both laryngitis and asthma at the same time. Conflict Motor shock-fright, speechlessness or territorial-fear conflict and additionally an active conflict on the opposite side of the cerebral cortex. (For examples see p. 184.) Conflict-active Cerebral cortex-controlled restriction of innervation. Motor paralysis. Simultaneously, cerebral white matter controlled cell degradation from the laryngeal muscles (muscle necrosis). > Muscle weakening > end result “weak voice,“ (usually unnoticed). Bio. function Widening of the laryngeal lumen through relaxed laryngeal musculature in order to breathe better. Repair phase Restoration of the laryngeal musculature and return of innervation. Possibly laryngitis at the same time. Repair crisis Laryngeal asthma attack: coughing cramps or constant tension of the laryngeal musculature lasting from a few minutes to several days; feeling of being cold. Note The attack occurs only when the opposite right half of the cortex is conflict-active or also in the repair phase crisis (= constellation). It comes to a life-threatening “severe acute asthma” if the bronchial-muscular area (right cortex) is in an repair phase crisis at the same time as the larynx muscle area. With allergic laryngeal asthma, a conflict starts up briefly due to a trigger (CM: “allergen“). In the repair phase crisis, there is another asthma attack. Therapy Questions: see previous page. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principle: “I am quiet and calm and trust in my guidance.“ Walks in cold air. Shred and eat radishes or hollow out radishes, fill with brown sugar or honey and swallow the juice that comes out. Vitamin D3. Tea: horehound, hibiscus, raspberry leaves, cowslip, English plantain, coltsfoot, Iceland moss, violet with honey. Bach flowers: rescue drops, aspen, cherry-plum. Cayce: mix horehound syrup with whiskey and swallow in small doses. CM: inhalers (ingredients cortisone, anticonvulsants): Useful for acute attacks. Long term use is not recommended because of side effects. Cough coming from the larynx, laryngitis with cough (croup = diphtherial laryngitis, pseudocroup = subglottic-stenosing laryngitis)1 Same SBS as above (conflict constellation). According to CM, croup and pseudocroup differ by the fact that for the “real croup“ one can prove a diphtheria bacteria. Through the New Medicine, we know that one could prove bacteria even if it is called pseudocroup. Exanple a The mother of a 3-year-old girl came into my practice alone. At 8-months-old, her little one had a cough that lasted a few days. Since then, the cough had returned every few weeks, and lately it had been even more frequent. These coughing fits usually lasted from 11 at night to 3 o’clock in the morning, and the mother was becoming increasingly exhausted. Conflict history: Her relationship was already going downhill during her pregnancy. She finally moved out when 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 124 SBS of the Laryngeal Musculature E C T O 187 Larynx Diphtheria According to CM, diphtheria is caused by the poison (toxin) of the Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The clinical picture is diverse: larynx, pharynx, nose and tonsil infection, swelling of the lymph nodes and fever. The diagnosis “diphtheria“ doesn’t bring us very far. A more sensible course, like always, would be to examine the patient’s symptoms and determine the conflicts. Phase: one or more different SBSs in the repair phase. her daughter was 2. = Shock-fright territorial conflict due to constant parental fighting and eventual separation. Note: The little one’s persistent territorial conflict intensified after the separation, because the child felt her mother’s aversion/mistrust. The result: Increased coughing fits. Visitation: The daughter is always very happy when her father comes and picks her up, but the mother won’t yet allow her to sleep at her ex’s house. Conditioning: Her parents have a bad marriage (the little one’s grandparents). Therapy: After our conversation, we performed a meditation: We went to her mother in her mind and I said these words for her, “I also have a child now too, dear mother. And, I have become like you – I also couldn’t accept my partner – just like you mother. I want to change that now.” Then, we went to the girl’s father. We saw past his shortcomings and into his divine center. “I accept you exactly as you are.” Homework: She should reestablish the love and trust she has for him and allow the child to spend the night in his home as soon as possible. (Archive B. Eybl) Therapy Questions: see p. 185. As necessary, mucolytic and expectorant medications (secretolytics, expectorant). Dramatic coughing fits: remain calm. If nothing helps and if necessary, administer cortisone (inhaler). Note: Most synthetic cough syrups contain the morphine derivative codeine (addictive). E C T O 188 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea LUNGS, BRONCHI AND TRACHEA The lungs (Lat. pulmo), which are enclosed in the pleura, fill up nearly the whole chest cavity. The lungs are connected together by the windpipe (trachea) and the two main bronchi. The right lung is made up of three pulmonary lobes (lobi), and the left lung is made up of two. The smallest units of the lungs are the 300-400 million microscopic endodermal air sacs called alveoli, which together constitute a breathing surface of 80-100m². The alveoli are where the actual taking in of oxygen and giving off of carbon dioxide take place. The wind pipes and bronchial tubes are made of cartilage and are lined with ectodermal epithelium. They belong to territorial areas controlled by the cerebral cortex. The endodermal mucus producing goblet cells sit everywhere in the windpipe and bronchial tubes and provide the breathing apparatus with moisture. Alveoli Fear-of-death conflict Goblet Cells (yellow) Fear-of-suffocation conflict Bronchial Mucosa Territorial-fear conflict SBS of the Alveoli Adeno-ca in situ of the lung, pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), pneumonia (Pneumocystis pneumonia, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, staphylococcal pneumonia, Klebsiella pneumonia, Legionnaire’s disease), pulmonary abscess1 We can survive for relatively long periods of time without food or drink. Without air, we are dead within three minutes. In nature, not getting air means the same as the end of life. This is why the alveoli trigger a fear-of-death SBS. Conflict Chunk conflict (explanations see p. 15, 16) Fear-of-death, fear of dying or death. State of panic. Examples ➜ Often due to a diagnosis or prognosis shock: “Your tumor is very malignant! Perhaps we can still stop its growth!“ a An 11-year-old boy shares a bedroom with his siblings in the family farmhouse. As the youngest, he must sleep in the bed nearest the door. Unfortunately his older brother is an alcoholic. At 24, he still lives at home. The whole family is afraid when he comes home drunk at night, because he is extremely aggressive and unpredictable. One night, as he returns totally drunk, he attacks his younger brother with a kitchen knife = fear-of-death conflict. The boy can hardly be calmed down and after that he is allowed to sleep between his parents in their bed. Repeatedly, he is forced to 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 21 E N D O 189 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea face dangerous situations with his brother. Even the mother is helpless against him. As a security measure, they decided to turn on the light at night when the brother comes home. When the youngest boy is 15, his brother moves away for a job = conflict resolution. He is now diagnosed with an open tuberculosis of the lung = repair phase. Immediately, the boy is sent to a home far away for fear of contagion. He feels desperately abandoned there. His body weight goes up to 85 kg (190 lbs),(water retention due to an active conflict of feeling abandoned (refugee)). (Archive B. Eybl) a A sturdy young man is a non-smoker who enjoys diving in his free time. He is diving with his best friend when an accident occurs: Coming up from a dive, his friend develops a lung embolism and dies right there in the water in the arms of the patient = Fear-of-death conflict regarding his friend. An alveolar adenoma develops, because it is about someone else and not himself. After a month of difficult breathing, he is diagnosed with a cancer by CM. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 180). a The Olivia Case: A reporter from the popular news magazine, Spiegel-TV, is following Olivia, who is walking next to Dr. Hamer and calls out to them from behind: “Mr. Hamer, what will you do if Olivia dies the day after tomorrow?“ At that moment, Olivia suffers a fear-of-death conflict. (See Pilhar, Olivia - Tagebuch eines Schicksals) Conflict-active Increased functioning, cell proliferation in the alveoli, alveolar cancer of secretory or absorptive nature, mostly symptomless. In the case of fear of death for another person, a single (solitary) pulmonary nodule appears. For fear of death concerning oneself, several (multiple) pulmonary nodules appear. Bio. function With more alveolar tissue, air can be better utilized in emergencies > better exchange of gases > better chance of survival. Repair phase The normal biological process is the tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor through tubercles = pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) (CM-diagnosis: pneumonia, lung abscess) > bloody phlegm, bloody cough (hemoptysis), fever, and heavy sweating at night, bad breath (halitosis). Caverns remain. If no fungi or bacteria are present, the tumor becomes encapsulated with connective tissue and is closed off from the metabolism. However, the principle also applies here: A long period of conflict activity may allow the emergence of such large tumors that their size exceeds the body’s ability to repair itself. > OP necessary. Tuberculosis has become rare in industrialized countries, because almost everything is found in the active-phase; thus, it rarely comes to tuberculosis in the lungs. Repair crisis Intense pain, chills, bloody phlegm, bloody cough. Questions First determine if you are dealing with adeno-ca (fear-of-death) or bronchial-ca (territorial-fear). (Examine the CM biopsy results). Bloody sputum? (Indication of an adeno-ca in repair). Night sweats? (Indication of repair, likely adeno-ca). Last lung x-ray when? (Indication of the time of the conflict). Coughing, night sweats when? (Indication of (partial) resolution). What panic did I have? Was I afraid for myself? For others? (Family member, friend)? Why did I react so sensitively? (Experiences in childhood, the mother’s stress during pregnancy > find out all details). What new attitude would heal me? 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. Tuberculosis is not a trivial matter. The lung tissue temporarily loses stability. The areas of the pulmonary nodules “collapse.“ In the vernacular, “moth-eaten,”< no exertion, lots of rest, at least as long as the nighttime sweating lasts. Guiding principles: “I understand how it all fits together.“ “I am patient and trust in nature.“ “Everything will be all right.“ Clean, nutritious, protein-rich foods. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Tea: horehound, club moss, comfrey, rosemary, thyme, English plantain. Hildegard of Bingen: elecampane root wine, bay leaf- or hedge rose-elixir special recipe. OP, if the tumor grows - better earlier than later. E N D O 190 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea Deterioration of the alveolar tissue (pulmonary emphysema) Same SBS as above. (See also: p. 188.) With an emphysema, the exchange of gases is reduced. This causes chronic respiratory distress (dyspnea) and shortage of oxygen (hypoxia). Phase Recurring-conflict - The condition remains after many repair phases: if pulmonary nodules are degraded, holes in the tissue (caverns) normally remain (seen as circular shadows on an x-ray). Advancing emphysema causes more and more alveoli to lose their ability to function. Therapy Questions: see previous page. Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the SBS comes to an end. Guiding principles: “I am safe.“ “The danger has passed.“ “I am safe in God‘s hands.“ Breathing exercises, stretching, gymnastics, yoga. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Hildegard of Bingen: lungwort tea. Bring the herb to a boil and allow it to stand in the water. Drink it on an empty stomach for several days. Linseed oil. See also: the lung remedies on p. 199. Enlargement of the lungs, lymph nodes and connective tissue nodules (pulmonary sarcoidosis, Besnier-Boeck disease) Same SBS as above. (See also: p. 188.) Conflict possibly has a self-esteem-component: “I can‘t breathe well enough.“ In CM, this is seen as a so-called systemic illness of the mesoderm, with the lungs being the primarily affected organ. From the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, there are no such “systematic illnesses“ and thus, we look at the symptoms: enlargement of the lymph nodes on the lung stem points to a repair phase (CM: sarcoidosis stage 1). The conversion of functional lung tissue into connective tissue points to relapses (CM: sarcoidosis stage 3). Example a The bike-riding student starts crossing a traffic light too early and is nearly run over by a car. Although nothing happens, he “sees his life flash before his eyes“ = fear-of-death conflict. The conflict recurs daily, since he crosses the same intersection everyday while riding to the university. After two years, he goes to the doctor because he has trouble breathing and coughs when he exerts himself. Diagnosis: sarcoidosis of the lungs. He is treated with 35 mg of cortisone per day but his lung volume remains at 70%. The conflict is resolved when he learns about the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and avoids the traffic light as his “therapy.“ The sarcoidosis retreats almost completely. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte) Phase Recurring-conflict affecting the alveoli > formation of scar tissue. Note It is possible that the diagnosis of sarcoidosis is based on multiple bronchial scarring (this would be a recurring territorial-fear conflict). Therapy Questions: see previous page. Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the recurring conflict comes to an end. Guiding principles: see above. See also lung remedy below. Breathing exercises, gymnastics, outdoor exercise. Hildegard of Bingen: millet mixed powder special recipe. In CM, for asthma, emphysema and sarcoidosis, the same drugs are given (bronchodilators, cortisone). In acute cases (repair phase crisis) they are practical and they are undoubtedly useful. Long-term intake is not recommended due to the side effects. E N D O 191 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea Bronchial Goblet Cells Suffocation-fear Bronchial Mucosa Territorial-fear conflict Bronchial Musculature Territorial-fear conflict (motor) SBS of the Bronchial and Tracheal Mucosa Bronchial tumor (bronchial epithelial cancer)1 Conflict Territorial-fear or shock-fright conflicts (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). A person is afraid of losing his territory (e.g., partner, job) or his position in the territory (position, level). “To have a terrible or mortal fear.“ “I was scared to death.“ “I am terrified!“ The territorial-fear conflict is an active/male reaction to a threat to his territory. The shock-fright conflict is a passive/female reaction to the same thing (typically, the male reacts with attack, the female with passive fright). Examples a A woman has a husband, who is always being unfaithful. She is never sure whether or not he is having another affair = territorial-fear conflict with degradation of cells from the bronchi in the active phase. She comes into healing when she separates from him and meets another man who loves her passionately and deeply. With this new partner, she is sure that he is true to her. Restoration of the bronchial mucosa = bronchitis or a bronchial ca. (Example from Ursula Homm) a A family father has a job in a small plumbing company and is two years away from his retirement. He has a good, friendly relationship with his boss. One day, the boss decides to join up with a new business partner. The new partner cannot stand the patient. The relationship worsens and the patient is afraid of being fired. This would be very bad, as he still has two young daughters to raise and moreover, he wouldn‘t be able to get a new job at his age = territorial-fear conflict. Before he goes into retirement, in other words, two years later, his fear of losing his job dissolves. He begins to cough and thinks he has bronchitis. When his symptoms do not improve he gets a lung x-ray. The diagnosis: “cancer of the bronchi.“ This causes him to have a fear-ofdeath conflict. Finally, the patient dies after receiving all possible therapies. (See Claudio Trupiano, Danke Doktor Hamer, p. 327.) ➜ Also, often a threat to one‘s “time territory.“ For example, someone is put under time or schedule pressure. Someone‘s time is “robbed“ from them or someone else decides what will be done with their time. a A 26-year-old, left-handed man starts up a small company with a friend. After a while, they begin to have major arguments about how their presence at the firm should be regulated. The patient wants to take advantage of his entrepreneurial freedom with flexible, need-oriented working hours. His partner insists on an exact work schedule = territorial-fear conflict regarding the larynx (left-hander). After an unpleasant separation from his business partner, the patient can 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 111 E C T O 192 choose his own hours, and the conflict seems resolved. Unfortunately, a trigger remains: whenever he is pressured with private or business appointments, he subconsciously remembers the old stress and reacts with territorial-fear. The day after the appointment, he has a congested larynx and a hoarse voice = repair phase of the larynx mucosa. (Archive B. Eybl). a For the last 30 years, a 47-year-old mother of two has met with her “best friend“ twice a week. In the last half year, however, her friend has suddenly stopped seeing her. After several futile attempts to contact her, she gives up, disappointed = territorial-fear conflict - “My friend is leaving my territory.“ She comes into healing when her friend phones her to wish her a happy birthday and she confronts her on the matter. Now, she can close the books on the subject. A week later, she contracts pneumonia. (Archive B. Eybl) a For another example see “22 brain metastases” p. 40. Conflict-active Functional limitation; later, cell degradation (ulcers) of the bronchial mucous membrane, usually unnoticed. Simultaneous slackening of the, according to Dr. Hamer, striated musculature. The affected area can be anywhere from the beginning of the trachea into the smallest branches of the bronchi = CM‘s “ulcerating bronchial cancer.“ Bio. function Expanded bronchi due to lax ring musculature. This allows the person to improve their intake of air, so they can defend the territory more effectively. One can “scream” everyone else out of their territory - shout louder during a dispute. Repair phase Restoration of the bronchial and/or tracheal mucosa = inflammation of the bronchi (bronchitis), pneumonia, bronchial cancer: swelling, reddening, cough, possibly bloody sputum, and pain; strong swelling with exhaling difficulties during syndrome. Due to the swelling, an entire section of the lung can be cut off temporarily from the breathing process (= insufficient-ventilation atelectasis). As soon as the swelling is reduced, the air passage opens up again, that is, the atelectasis disappears again. Longer lasting bronchitis is due to a recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Cough and/or coughing cramps due to participation of the bronchial musculature, chills. Note Bronchial cancer is usually diagnosed in the repair phase, often together with syndrome. Questions When did the symptoms begin? Which territory is this about? (Partner, residence, workplace)? What stressed me at the time in question? What am I thinking about when I can’t sleep? Dreams? (Indication of the conflict). What keeps me from dealing with the issue better? Was one of my ancestors confronted with a similar situation? What is continuing on, down through the generations? Which conditioning sensitizes me? What beliefs lead me to the dilemma? Am I ready to start over? Therapy If still conflict-active: Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and beliefs. Enzyme preparation, lymphatic drainage. Hildegard of Bingen: ground ivy elixir special recipe. Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% strength internally. See also lung remedies p. 199 If necessary: OP, if the tumor is too large and/or large bronchial branches are affected. Inflammation of the bronchi (bronchitis) Same SBS as above. Phase Repair phase: Restoration of the squamous mucous membrane. Pain, narrowing of the bronchi (stenosis) or closure (atelectasis) due the healing-swelling, breathing noises (stridor). Expectoration of phlegm (sputum). Cough = repair phase crisis of the bronchial musculature. The cough‘s biological purpose is to expectorate the mucus. Note By recurring-conflict or in persistent repair, CM speak of “chronic hypertrophic bronchitis.“ A “bronchial cancer“ might just as well be diagnosed, should a lung x-ray be taken. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and avoid relapses. Saltwater or tea inhalations. Tea: horehound, marshmallow, Iceland moss, mallow, primrose, mullein, elderberry. Colloidal silver internally. In the repair phase crisis, black tea or coffee. Possibly CM - cortisone, anticonvulsants. See also: lung remedies p. 199. E C T O Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea 193 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea Bulging or widening of the bronchi (bronchiectasis) Same SBS as above. (See p. 191). According to CM, chronically recurring inflammations can degrade the structure of the bronchial wall. Symptom: expectoration of large amounts of phlegm upon arising in the morning. Phase Recurring, persistent-active conflict with local cell degradation from the bronchial mucosa > a thinning and subsequent bulging out of the membrane. During the periods between the repair phases, there is increased phlegm with coughing in the repair phase crisis. Therapy Questions: see above. Find conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life, in order to prevent relapses. See also: lung remedies on p. 199. Inflammation of the trachea (tracheitis), tracheal cancer (tracheal-epithelial cancer) Same SBS as above. (See p. 191). With regard to conflicts, the mucosa of the trachea belongs to the bronchi. Phase Repair phase: Restoration of the squamous mucous membrane. Pain under the breastbone. Possibly narrowing of the trachea (tracheal stenosis) due to repair-swelling especially with syndrome. If the cell degradation was long and intense, the healing can also take a long time. This is possibly the manifestation of a recurring conflict. In both cases, tracheal cancer may be diagnosed. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Avoid recurrences. In the repair phase crisis, possibly CM: cortisone, anticonvulsants. If necessary: surgery. See: lung remedies on p. 199. E C T O Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) COPD is a collective term for various chronic diseases of the lungs. This mainly includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The diagnosis is mainly based on testing lung function (spirometry). The diagnosis is, in our view, relatively meaningless, except for the term “chronic“ > recurring SBS of the alveoli and/or recurrent SBS bronchi. For therapy, see the respective SBS on p. 188 or p. 191.) If applicable, cannabis oil. a A 62-year-old worker, a passionate hiker, notices that he is getting less and less air while walking. According to his spirometry, his lungs are functioning at 54% – suspicion of COPD. During his first consultation with a New Medicine therapist, it becomes clear that he simply has laryngeal asthma (clearing his throat often and whistling sounds at night). Cause: He can’t tolerate orders. Unfortunately, he’s always getting them from his boss at work and from his partner. Therapy instructions from his only appointment: “Don’t accept any more commands. Look forward to your pending retirement. Enjoy and internalize any feelings of freedom at every opportunity.” Two years later: With the exception of one short relapse six months later, the patient has remained symptomfree. (Archive B. Eybl) 194 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea Narrowing of the bronchi (bronchial asthma), spastic bronchial inflammation (spastic bronchitis)1 Bronchial asthma causes difficulties in exhaling > slow and heavy exhalation. If the mucosa and muscles are affected, the condition is accompanied by bronchitis and bronchial stenosis. Conflict Territorial-fear conflict or shock-fright and speechlessness conflict in the repair phase crisis. Additionally, an active conflict or a repair phase crisis on the opposite, left, cerebral cortex side. (For conflict explanation, see p. 191). Examples a When he was a child, a 33-year-old, right-handed, asthmatic patient had to listen to the intense arguing of his parents. The parents then separated = territorial-fear conflict affecting the bronchi, shock-fright conflict affecting the larynx, and stinking conflict affecting the mucous membranes of the nose. All three conflicts led to cell degradation in the active-phase and restoration in the repair phase. The patient has several triggers: dampness or warm-damp weather, arguments, separations, and disharmony of all sorts. Due to the triggers, he repeatedly comes into conflict activity and then into repair with the symptoms of asthma and sniffles. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 60-year-old, right-handed retiree with two grown children has had a cat allergy, since his 18th birthday. Whenever he is near a cat for longer than half an hour, the bronchi tighten up and he cannot breathe properly - although he loves cats! Moved to tears, he recalls the original conflict 40 years ago: His favorite cat often stole food from the table. Once, his mother caught the cat “in the act“ and hit it so hard that the cat slunk into the cellar. After that, the cat had nothing to do with any family member other than him = territorial-fear conflict. Subsequently, he always went down into the cellar and pet his cat. It then licked his temples with gratitude. Later, the cat died. Additional finding: The patient has a basal-cell carcinoma (skin cancer) on the temple, just on that spot = for the last 40 years, a hanging-separation conflict - the skin contact with the cat was broken off. Note: The patient‘s cat allergy is based, like all allergies, on a trigger. For this man’s subconscious, cats are an alarm signal: Watch out! Something bad could happen again > start-up of a bronchial SBS > relaxation of the bronchial musculature in the active-phase > cramping up in the repair phase crisis = CM: “asthma.“ (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Degradation of the bronchial musculature (muscle necrosis) > muscle weakness. Simultaneously, cerebral cortex-controlled reduction of innervation > motor paralysis. In the case of a coupled conflict, simultaneous degradation of bronchial mucosa - all largely symptomless. Bio. function Widening of the lumen in the bronchi due to “relaxed“ bronchial musculature > get air better and faster. Repair phase Restoration of bronchial musculature and return of innervation, tickling irritation in the throat. With coupling, simultaneous bronchitis with expectoration. Repair crisis Bronchial asthma attack: coughing fits, longer exhalation and/or exhalation together with coughing, lasting from several minutes to a maximum of three days. Narrowing (tightening) of the bronchi and/or trachea, possibly with wheezing sounds (stridor trachealis) when breathing. Note An attack occurs when a conflict is active on the opposite, left half of the cerebral cortex or also in the repair phase crisis. Only this constellation makes bronchial asthma possible. By allergic bronchial asthma, the conflict is started up briefly due to a trigger (= CM’s allergen). Therapy Questions: see p. 192. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I am safe.“ “I am in the hands of God.“ Breathing exercises, dancing, singing. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) internally. Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). In the repair phase crisis black tea or coffee, possibly: CM cortisone, antispasmodic and bronchodilators. Long-term use is not recommended because of side effects. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 111, 112 E C T O SBS of the Bronchial Musculature 195 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea SBS of the Goblet Cells Goblet cell tumor (adeno-ca), excess phlegm (mucus) in the bronchi1 From a developmental standpoint, goblet cells are descendants of the intestinal mucosa glands. They are responsible for the lubrication and moistening of the air passages. Conflict Chunk conflict (explanations see p. 15, 16). not being able inhale, moisten the air. In practical terms: suffocation fear, blocked airways (foreign objects, artificial respiration). “I’m not getting any air.“ “I’m struggling for air.“ Examples a For the last year, a 28-year-old mother is so congested that it causes her to vomit regularly. Her only son was born prematurely and suffers from respiratory problems among others. One night, he nearly suffocated in her arms - she called an ambulance much too late. Since then, she always listens in the night to hear if her little one is breathing normally. Substitute suffocation conflict for her son affecting the goblet cells. When the connection was explained to her, she was able to completely accept her son’s difficulties and, for the first time, appreciate herself as the good mother that she is. Relieved, she subsequently spent several nights soaking the sheets with sweat and coughing up yellow sputum. Afterwards, her symptoms were gone. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ The umbilical cord of an infant is cut too soon > insufficient oxygen supply to the baby. ➜ While having an asthma attack, a person thinks he is suffocating. ➜ A person is exposed to an extreme amount of dust or smoke (fire dept., mining, stone cutting, etc.). Conflict-active Increased function, cell proliferation of the goblet cells (goblet cell tumor) = in CM: chronic cartarrhous bronchitis, intrabronchial goblet cell adeno-ca, goblet cell hyperplasia = excess phlegm due to increased production of mucus. Bio. function Better breathing and/or dust expulsion due to more bronchial mucus. Repair phase Normalization of function. If fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria) are present > tubercular-caseating degradation or small goblet cell “tumorlets.“ Expectoration of yellow (purulent) mucus, fever, night sweats, halitosis. Note This SBS is rare. It is difficult to draw the line between this disease and bronchitis (territorial-fear conflict), which is also accompanied by excess mucus. Decisive sign: proof of bacteria (laboratory), expectoration of yellow, purulent sputum, night sweats accompanying goblet cell carcinoma degradation. This SBS would explain why asthmatics, who are regularly afraid of suffocating, often suffer from extreme congestion. Questions Congestion since when? (Conflict previous). Suffocation fear from what? (Own asthma or that of a loved one, dusty workplace, artificial respiration, etc.)? What has sensitized me? What did my parents/ ancestors experience? (Miners, lung disease)? Did the pregnancy or birth play a role? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Tea: horehound, anise, fenugreek, speedwell, linseed, ground ivy.

Cystic fibrosis (CF = mucoviscidosis, drying up of the bronchial mucus)1 Same SBS as above. (See p. 195.) Phase Persistent repair, usually recurring in infancy > more and more goblet cell functional tissue is “melted away“ - converted to connective tissue. This causes less mucus to be produced or its production stops altogether = mucoviscidosis. 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 and the goblet cells can regenerate. Lymph drainages, acupuncture, acupoint and classic massage, colloidal silver internally.

According to CM, the blood clot (thrombus) that leads to a lung embolism is transported from the leg veins. However, Dr. Hamer found out that in a pulmonary embolism, the thrombus originates in a venous shank of the coronary vessels (coronary veins). According to my experience, this explanation does not account for all lung embolisms. In all likelihood, some of the blood clots do break away from the deep leg veins (SBS of the Veins s. p. 169). For individual cases, a diagnosis based on the symptoms shouldn’t pose a problem. The following describes a clot departing from a coronary vein: The blood supply of the heart: Via the coronary arteries, the heart muscle is supplied with oxygen-rich blood. After the gas exchange in the heart’s muscle tissue, the coronary veins take the oxygen-poor blood into the right atrium. From there, it goes into the right ventricle and then via the pulmonary artery (albeit with oxygen-poor blood) into the lungs for new oxygen enrichment. Now the decisive point: If any clot is released from the coronary veins, it will becomes lodged in a pulmonary artery = lung embolism. Conflict Female loss-of-territory conflict or sexual-frustration conflict of not being mated. “It breaks my heart!“ Also, possible male loss-of-territory conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). The female territorial conflict always has a partner-related or sexual aspect. It is about the “inner territory.“ The partner is the “territory“ of the woman. That is why it is better if the man takes the woman into his territory. Then, the man has his territory and the woman has her partner. If the man moves in with the woman, the woman has her partner, but the man has no territory. Examples ➜ A woman is abandoned by her husband, mistreated, or forced into having sexual intercourse. a A 15-year-old, right-handed schoolgirl sleeps with a boy for the first time. Unfortunately, the condom breaks. She takes the “morning-after“ pill, since she is afraid of getting pregnant. What really upsets her, however, is that the boy tells everybody about what happened. Even the girl‘s mother hears about it from “the grapevine.“ Female loss-of-territory conflict with regard to the coronary veins and the cervix, in the active-phase: cell degradation in the coronary veins. Four weeks later the girl comes into healing, with restoration of cells to the coronary veins. For months, she repeatedly has absence seizures with tachycardia (racing heart rate). (Archive B. Eybl) a A 32-year-old patient with a Christian upbringing has a partner who loves her, but does not want to get married “out of principle.“ = Female loss-of-territory conflict. After 10 years of “living in sin,“ he proposes to her. After the proposal (= beginning of the repair phase) the woman becomes weaker and weaker and suffers from increasing shortness of breath. Six weeks later she has an embolism and two month long episode of bleeding from the cervix = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A now 35-year-old, right-handed woman is two and a half when her father “says goodbye“ to 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 126 E C T O 197 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea his wife and daughter. His departure is preceded by violent arguments, her mother often having to protect her from his aggressive behavior. She meets her father once, later on, but she will never forget it. As a seven-year-old, she is playing in her mother‘s restaurant, when her father comes in and says, “Hello, I am your father.“ He then seats himself at the bar with his back toward her. When she is nine, she learns that her father has died = female loss-of-territory conflict in addition to a fear-disgust conflict. (Shortly afterwards she is diagnosed with diabetes.) The patient has regular angina pectoris (= active territorial conflict) when stressed. When she climbs stairs, she has the feeling her heart is being “constricted.“ Additionally, she suffers from severe menstrual complaints. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 7-year-old girl grabs her classmate under her skirt. From then on, she behaved like a boy (constellation) and even the boys in the schoolyard were afraid of her. (Archive Antje Scherret) Conflict-active Functional limitation, simultaneous slackening of the underlying smooth musculature (ring-shaped portions). Later, cell degradation (ulcer) on the inner surface of the coronary veins (intima). > Cross-sectional enlargement. Possibly mild, constrictive chest pains (angina pectoris). Usually, (but not always), accompanied by simultaneous cell degradation in the mucosa of the cervix. Often, a recurring conflict. Bio. function Due to the breakdown of the cells, the lumen of the coronary veins increases > better flow of blood from the heart > higher heart capacity for being able to win back the lost territory (e.g., the partner). Repair phase Repair and restoration of the epithelium of the coronary veins. Formation of scabs (plaque). Repair crisis Three to six weeks after the beginning of the repair phase, the pulmonary embolism occurs: gasping for air, fear, and a sense of impending doom, possibly chills. In the repair phase crisis, there is a cramp-like spasm (= local epilepsy) of the voluntary (striated) vessel musculature below the epithelium. This causes scabs to break loose and course with the blood via the right side of the heart into the pulmonary arteries = lung embolism. Larger pieces quickly get stuck the larger vessels, smaller ones can reach the smaller branches of the pulmonary arteries. The blockage of the flow of blood in the smaller and middle-sized vessels is not a problem, because bypassing vessels (anastomoses) insure the blood supply. The blood clots usually dissolve within weeks without therapeutic measures (recanalization). However, this is problematic on the brain level: repair-swelling of the Hamer focus and then acute shrinkage during the repair phase crisis. Note The rhythm center for the rapid heart beat lies in the relay for the coronary veins and the cervix. Due to this, we sometimes find high heart rates (tachycardia) during the repair phase crisis, possibly with lapses (tachyarrhythmia). Fatal ventricular fibrillation is also possible, if the conflict has been active for too long. Questions Which territorial conflict was resolved 3 - 6 weeks before the embolism? (Partner, friend, house, etc.)? What stressed me? (In the conflict-active period, one must have been manic; now, calm again). Was menstrual bleeding absent during this time? (Yes > indication of conflict activity). Which emotions accompanied the conflict? How did I even get into these difficulties? Which beliefs lie beneath this? What conditioned me? (E.g., childhood experiences)? Are there parallels to ancestors? (Try to learn the life stories of your ancestors). Which reorientation could help prevent recurrences? Which old patterns/habits and beliefs will I throw overboard? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Nevertheless, analyze the conflict to prevent recurrences. Assert a calming/reassuring influence. Possibly administer cortisone at the end of the repair phase crisis. Peace and rest. Avoid recurrences. Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). Hildegard of Bingen: horseradish-galangal special recipe, Portuguese lavender elixir special recipe. Natural borax internally. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. Blood thinning medication as necessary in the acute phase. In the case of cervical bleeding, however, these have a negative side effect of increasing the blood flow. > Administer for a limited time if possible, and only if there is no cervical bleeding. E C T O 198 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea SBS of the Branchial Arches Small cell bronchial (lung) cancer In CM, this kind of tumor is seen as a bronchial tumor. However, as Dr. Hamer found out, we are dealing with an SBS of the branchial arches or with callus (bone fluid) leaking from an injured bone in the area. Vertebrae, ribs or the sternum come into question. (See osteosarcoma p. 344). Due to its inaccessible location in the middle of the chest cavity, this tumor is considered inoperable by CM and hardly curable. Conflict Frontal-fear conflict. Fear of an unavoidable danger coming towards you. (See also: non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma, p. 174.) Examples a A 43-year-old, right-handed, happily married patient has a 12-year-old son. One day, the father has to have a meniscus surgery. When he wakes up from the anesthesia, his wife informs him that his son is hospitalized, having badly injured his head diving head first into water. The next day, he learns that his son will have to undergo surgery. His life is in danger > still in the hospital, the patient suffers a frontal-fear conflict because of the oncoming danger (the surgery) and a fear-of-death conflict - both conflicts in substitution for his son. He feels the urge to jump out of the window if the boy should die (high conflict-intensity). In the repair phase, he feels a downwards pull in the left ear toward the neck and breastbone with strong pressure and squeezing. Just above the collar bone, a cyst has developed (= branchial arches in healing). He also sweats heavily during the night and coughs blood (= alveoli in healing). The hospital’s explanation of the symptoms is a diagnosis of an alveolar cancer and a small-cell bronchial cancer. (Archive B. Eybl) Repair phase Cell division, restoration of the branchial arches = CM: small-cell bronchial cancer. This progression is described on p. 174 under non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Questions Did I feel an indication of this under my breastbone, possibly long before the diagnosis was made? (= Beginning of the conflict). Which danger is this about? Is the issue permanently resolved? (Exclude the possibility of recurrence). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Guiding principles: “The danger is over. I am safe.“ Lymph drainages. It is crucial to overcome the shock of the diagnosis and leave the fear behind. Water in the lungs (interstitial or alveolar pulmonary edema) It is typical for patients with water in the lungs to only sleep in a sitting position - at least in this position they have the upper part of the lungs to breathe. We can hear the typical rattling noise as the patient breathes. This serious symptom is a sign of poor general health. Principally, the kidney collecting tubules are always involved with this. The following causes come into consideration: • Pulmonary edema due to poisoning: Irritant gases (chlorine, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, etc. = acute pulmonary edema), drugs (heroin, methadone), chemo-poisoning > destruction of the alveoli and capillaries > leakage of fluid into the lungs = pulmonary edema. • Weakness of the left ventricle (heart failure): Overwhelmed conflict > backflow of blood into the pulmonary circulation> leakage of blood plasma in the pulmonary capillaries > water in the lungs = most common cause of lung edema (see p. 150). • Repair phase bronchial mucosa: Territorial-fear in repair: Inflammation of bronchial mucosa = bronchitis > pulmonary edema during syndrome (see p. 191). • Repair phase alveoli: Fear-of-death conflict: Inflammation of the alveoli lung tuberculosis > exudation ofpus and water > pulmonary edema during syndrome (see p. 188). Therapy In accordance with the cause. Both acute and chronic pulmonary edema need treatment. Definitely consider: therapeutic measures for kidney collecting tubules p. 266. See also: lung remedies p. 199. Branchial Arches Frontal-fear conflict E C T O 199 Lungs, Bronchi and Trachea Whooping cough (pertussis) According to CM, whooping cough is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, and is one of the so-called pediatric diseases. Whooping cough comes from either the larynx or the bronchial muscles. • Cause larynx: repair phase crisis of the laryngeal musculature or irritation (= tickle, urge to cough) of the laryngeal mucosa in the repair phase = shock-fright conflict. (See p. 186.) • Cause bronchi: repair phase crisis of the bronchial musculature or irritation of the bronchial mucous membranes in the repair phase = territorial-fear conflict. (See p. 194.) In both cases, the coughing has a biological function of expectorating the phlegm generated by the inflammation. Whooping cough attacks are especially serious in combination with syndrome. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. By attack (repair phase crisis): stand up, go where it is cool, drink cold beverages, tea, coffee, possibly CM: cortisone, antispasmodic, bronchodilators. Tea: hibiscus, ivy, thyme, English plantain, peppermint. By recurring-conflict: breathing exercises, sunbaths, solarium, sauna, infrared cabin, damp chest compress. Black lung disease (pneumoconiosis; silicosis, asbestosis) This is one of the most commonly occurring occupational illnesses. To a certain extent, dust is intercepted by the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, windpipe, and bronchi. With the help of the cilia (tiny hairs), these particles are transported outward or coughed up. The smallest or thin, fibrous particles, however, can make their way as far as the bronchioles and remain there. The very smallest particles can even enter the alveoli. There, the body builds connective tissue around them, which, in and of itself, is not harmful. If, however, over the years and decades, dust is continually inhaled, this scar tissue takes up more and more space so that the performance of the lung is eventually diminished. One speaks of a fine-particle-induced “pulmonary fibrosis“ > not a conflict but damage caused by dust. The growths of connective tissue are often interpreted as “cancer.“ Dust inhalation can also be perceived as an attack conflict as can the diagnosis “black lung.“ (See p. 200.) Therapy Stop breathing in dust. Guiding principle: “My lungs are full of light and energy.“ Breathing exercises, gymnastics, sport for cleaning the lungs. See also: lung remedies. Smoking and the lungs It is clear that smoking is not healthy. It pollutes the breathing passages with tar and soot. Nicotine and other ingredients are taken up by the body and they poison it gradually from within. Nicotine, like all drugs, makes us temporarily sympathicotonic = “high.“ For the “good feeling“ that comes from smoking, we pay a high price: the loss of freedom (due to addiction), loss of vital energy due to a bad conscience and local and general contamination. However, the commonly accepted maxim, “Smoking leads to lung cancer,“ is wrong. The signal for cell division in the bronchi and alveoli comes from the brain. There is no cell division without the brain ordering it to happen. Why is it that lung cancer is diagnosed more often in smokers? • Smokers‘ lungs are examined more often because of contamination - symptomatic coughing or as a “precaution.” • Doctors intentionally examine smokers more often for lung cancer. Swollen, inflamed, sooty, scarred bronchial epithelium is designated as “cancer.“ • Many smokers believe that they will get cancer because they smoke. Mandatory warnings reinforce this belief. Whoever continues smoking with this on their mind will eventually suffer a fear-of-death conflict and be responsible for their own undoing. Therapy Quit smoking. If possible, quit without being forced to do so. Brutal withdrawal harbors considerable conflict potential. Guiding principle: “I am free and independent! This is real quality of life.“ Lung remedies • Regular breathing exercises. • Aerobic exercise. • Tea: horehound, lungwort, fir needle, agrimony, sage, plantain, knotgrass. • Pelargonium root extract (Kaloba®). • Cayce: horehound syrup. • Hildegard of Bingen: goat‘s milk. • Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally. • Sunbathing. • Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). • Cannabis oil (CBD oil). 200 Pleura PLEURA The pleura lines the chest cavity. It is controlled by the cerebellum and is made up entirely of mesodermal tissue. The pleura has two layers: the outer layer (pleura parietalis) is attached to the chest cavity, while the inner layer (pleura pulmonalis) forms the outer layer of the lungs. The very thin space (pleural cavity) between the two layers is filled with a fluid that allows the lungs to glide during breathing. Cancer of the pleura (pleura mesothelioma, pleura cancer)1 Conflict Attack-to-the-chest conflict. Real attack/threat or imagined threat. Fear concerning the lungs, heart, ribs and thoracic spine. Examples ➜ Severe pain in the chest cavity (lungs, chest, heart, ribs, thoracic spine). • A person is diagnosed with a roundish shadow on the lung (lung cancer) = attack-to-the-chest conflict. During the conflict-active phase he develops a pleura mesothelioma. (Archive B. Eybl) a Fifteen years ago, a thin woman gets breast cancer (adeno-ca). Having become acquainted with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature she lets the tumor be and lives very well with it. Unfortunately, 6 years ago, she allows a biopsy to be taken. Afterwards the breast does not heal shut and for three years she lives with an open wound. At this point she becomes frightened and suffers an attack-tothe-chest conflict > growth of a pleura mesothelioma. After the breast is surgically closed (skin closure), the patient comes into healing with a pleural effusion. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell proliferation in the pleura. Growth of a pleura mesothelioma. Either flat or patchy growth, depending on the kind of attack perceived. Possibly a recurring conflict. Bio. function Protection of the chest cavity by thickening of the pleura. Repair phase Tubercular, caseating degradation of tissue: inflammation of the pleura (pleuritis), pain, fever, night sweats, breathing difficulties, chest pain, pleural effusion due to syndrome. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain. Note Most cancers diagnosed in the pleura can be attributed to diagnosis shocks and are interpreted by CM as “metastases.“ - The prognosis is correspondingly poor. With knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, there will be fewer cases of pleural tumors in the future and fewer people will die of them. Questions Symptoms since when? (Determine the phase, because complaints normally begin after the onset of the repair phase). Which type of attack did I experience? (OP, diagnosis, physical fight, accident, etc.). Can I handle diagnoses in general? Which conditioning is this based on? (Childhood, ancestors)? 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 47, 52 SBS of the Pleura Pleura Attack-to-the-chest or chest cavity O L D M E S O 201 Pleura Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. The most important therapy is the knowledge of the biological interrelations. Guiding principles: “I am surrounded by a wall of crystal.“ “I am safe and protected.“ “Nobody and nothing can do any harm to me.“ Lymph drainages, acupoint massage, breathing exercises. CM treats with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation and is content with extending their life expectancy prognosis by three months. Right after the surgery, mesothelioma usually grow back into the OP wound. Our view (and the view“from the view of the pleura“) is that this is logical, because the surgery represents another attack. > Not recommended due to low chances of success. Pleurisy, accumulation of pus in the pleura (pleural empyema), pleural adhesions (fibrinous or granulomatous pleurisy)2 Same SBS as above. (See p. 200.) Phase Repair phase: degradation of the pleural tumors. Inflammation, severe pain while breathing, especially with dry pleuritis - fever, night sweats. Growths due to chronically recurring-conflicts (triggers). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. The greatest problem is the pain. Cannabis works gently and relieves pain. Damp chest or whole-body wraps with brine, enzyme preparations, lymph drainages, colloidal silver internally. CM pain medication if necessary. Pleurisy or adhesions caused by dust (e.g., asbestos pleurisy) Same SBS as above. (See p. 200.) Phase Repair phase or persistent conflict: degradation of a pleural tumor. Although the pleura has no direct contact with dust, it can co-react to the conflict: The inhalation of dust is unpleasant for everyone. Constant or intensive inhalation can lead to a dust-attack conflict to the lung. “This dust is toxic and I have to breathe it in all the time!“ > growth of a pleura mesothelioma > inflammation of the pleura in the repair phase with pain, Fever, night sweats. Pleural callosities (plaque) due to this usually being a recurring-conflict. Therapy For recurrences: Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. It is likely that it will be necessary to avoid any source of dust. Massages, lymph drainage massages, enzyme preparations, breathing exercises for cleaning and strengthening. CM pain medication. Collection of fluid in the pleura that comes from the pleura itself (exsudative pleural effusion)2 Here the protein content is about 30 g/l. SBS same as above (see p. 200), but in addition - syndrome (see p. 266). Example a A patient is found to have cysts of the branchial arches. CM‘s diagnosis: “non-Hodgkin‘s lymphoma.“ He is told that they must do major surgery on his chest cavity in order to get to both sides = attack-to-the-chest conflict. After the surgery, the patient dies of massive pleural effusions on both sides. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch Vol. 2, p. 135) Phase Repair phase or persistent conflict- fluid is collected between the inner and outer layers of the pleura, due to the degradation of the tumor = “sweating out“ of the pleura. To a certain extent, this is normal because fluid forms during every inflammation. In combination with syndrome, however, the effusion can become threatening. Exudative pleural effusions are rich in protein. This is where the problem with punctures lies. Due to repeated draining of fluid, the body loses large volumes of protein > lowered albumin level. Low blood protein content leads to a drop in the colloid osmotic pressure in the blood system which promotes fluid collection = 1st vicious circle. At the psychic level, a puncture can set off another vicious circle that is even worse if the painful and risky puncture procedure (pneumothorax danger) is perceived as an attack-to-the-chest conflict = 2nd vicious cycle. Nevertheless, punctures are sometimes unavoidable. Usually a recurring-conflict. 2 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 47, 52 O L D M E S O 202 Pleura Therapy The attack conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Address the kidney collecting tubules conflict (see 266), if present. Lymph drainages. Salt water baths or wraps. Cannabis (CBD) oil, enzyme preparation. Tea: stinging nettle, horsetail, goldenrod. Intake of biologically valuable protein (e.g., eggs, quark). Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) 3% internally, vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). Puncture (tap) only as a last resort. Possible albumin infusions. No infusions with salt. Gradual lengthening of the intervals between punctures. Collections of fluid in the pleura that comes from the surroundings (transudative pleural effusion) Through transudative pleural effusion (protein content of less than 30 g/l), fluid seeps from inflamed surrounding tissues into the pleural cavity. This can be the case with a weak heart (cardiac insufficiency p. 150), low blood protein levels (hunger edema), or with healing ribs, breastbone, thoracic vertebrae, lungs or bronchi. There is significant accumulation of water only during syndrome. Conflict Not an SBS of the pleura, but another SBS (usually bone) combined with syndrome. Example a A woman with breast cancer undergoes radiation and chemotherapy. This makes the breast small and unsightly, which results in a local self-esteem conflict with respect to the breastbone. As she enters the repair phase, the healing bone presses the resulting fluid into the pleura = transudative pleural effusion. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch Bd. 2, p. 364) Therapy See exudative pleural effusion and causative SBS above. 203 Lips, Mouth and Throat SBS of the Superficial Lip and Oral Mucous Membrane Aphthous stomatitis (canker sores) Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores, are painful, dot-like ulcers of the mucosa in the mouth. Conflict Separation conflict regarding the lips, mouth, or tongue. To become separated from somebody or wanting to become separated. Wanting (or not wanting) to have contact (e.g., kissing, touching). Also applies to food or dietary restrictions. Not wanting, being allowed to or being able to say something. Also not wanting to have said something. Examples ➜ “I can’t spit it out.”“Talk ‘till one’s blue in the face; burn one’s tongue.” a A woman has suffered from aphthous ulcers of the mouth for the past 50 years. As a child, she was severely beaten for having eating nuts from her neighbor‘s garden = mouth-separation conflict. Since then she has been allergic to nuts, reacting with aphthous ulcers in the repair phase. When she recognizes the connection, she says to herself: “The nuts cannot do anything to me!“= conflict resolution. The ulcers disappear for good. (See Dr. Hamer, Was ist die Neue Medizin?) a A 45-year-old, right-handed, married patient is an avid gardener. Her husband appears with a pair of heavy-duty scissors, intending to prune the grapevine. The patient sees this and says, “You know you have to use the hedge clippers for that!“ The man hands her the scissors and says, “Here are the scissors - do it yourself!“ = separation conflict of not being able to reach (touch) the partner with words (with the tongue). She steps back without saying a word, as if she was struck by lightning and says to herself, “I will never criticize anything again because he doesn‘t get it anyway.“ = Active-phase with cell reduction of the tongue mucosa and pain. Two days later, after she has forgotten the whole matter, she develops an aphthous ulcer on the right side of the tip of her tongue (partner side) = repair phase with restoration of the mucous membrane. (Archive B. Eybl) E C T O LIPS, MOUTH, AND THROAT The mouth and pharynx (throat) are the first part of the digestive tract and at the same time they serve as sound and speech-forming organs. Over the deep-lying, endodermal “intestinal mucous membrane“ lies the ectodermal epithelium, which migrated from the outer skin. Most SBS of lips, mouth, and throat, take place in this superficial mucosa. Lip Epidermis Separation conflict Mouth & Pharynx Mucosa Separation conflict Tonsils Chunk conflict Oral Submucosa Chunk conflict Hard Palate Self-esteem conflict 204 Lips, Mouth and Throat Conflict-active Increase in the sensibility of the oral mucosa. Development of smaller or larger defects in the mucosa (aphthous ulcers). The longer the conflict lasts, the deeper they become. Pain is in the active-phase and repair phase crisis. Usually a recurring-conflict. Bio. function Increased sensibility so one doesn’t say anything inconsiderate or senses more when kissing/eating. Repair phase Restoration of the oral mucosa, inflammation, swelling, reddening. Active phases and repair phases can quickly switch. Sometimes small inflammations of the deep-lying, endodermal oral mucosa will also be diagnosed as aphthous stomatitis. In this case, pain and halitosis during the repair phase (see SBS of the oral submucosa - trench mouth, p. 206). Repair crisis Severe pain, bleeding. Note Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner). Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict shortly before). The three most important questions: Speaking/kissing/eating? (Usually it’s about speaking)? In which situations is it better/worse? Does the conflict have to do with someone? Why do I react so sensitively to this issue? With regard to this, which burdensome experience of my ancestors do I carry on? (Ask about the family history). Will I allow myself to let this go? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “My words are long since forgotten.“ “In the future, I will say what is on my mind right away.“ Diluted hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) internally. Gargle with of sage tea, tea tree oil, colloidal silver, EM, DMSO. See remedies for inflammations in the mouth p. 212. Squamous cell skin cancer (tumor) of the lip, mouth, gum or tongue1 Same SBS as above. Vernacular “It‘s on the tip of my tongue!“ “I could bite my tongue!“ “Speak until one’s blue in the face.“ Examples • A married, left-handed woman sees her 4-year-old grandson throw a stone through a relative‘s window. The patient thinks she should inform the parents about this incident. Her husband, however, is against it, because he doesn‘t want to start an argument = conflict of not being allowed to say something. Two weeks later, the patient finds the courage to write the mother an e-mail = conflict resolution. Two days after that, a 1.5 cm swelling appears on the right side of the patient‘s mouth (mother/child side) = repair phase. After two weeks, the swelling subsides. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at) a Within a few weeks, a 67-year-old, right-handed, married mother of five, develops an approximately 8 mm wart (tongue papilloma) immediately behind the tip of the tongue = conflict of not being able to say something, in persistent repair. Conflict history: Her husband has a hot temper. For the patient, however, a peaceful and harmonious co-existence is important. She is always trying to “smooth things over.“ Often, she is about to say something, but it stops, so to speak, “on the tip of her tongue.“ After brief consideration, she holds her tongue to avoid irritating her husband. Later, through a fortunate coincidence, he discovers a new hobby in cooking. Now, the patient is starting to say what she thinks more often. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase or persistent repair: Restoration of the epithelium (= squamous cell ca). White coating (leukoplakia), swelling, possibly bleeding without pain. Pain (e.g., burning tongue) in the active-phase and in the repair phase crisis. Larger, more problematic tumors can only arise through long-lasting conflict. Often a recurring-conflict. Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and beliefs. For questions, therapeutic advice: see previous page. OP if necessary, without chemo or radiation. See remedies for the mouth p. 212. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 122, 135 E C T O 205 Lips, Mouth and Throat Scarlet fever (affecting the mouth) Same SBS as above (see p. 203) and other SBS. The primary symptom for scarlet fever is inflamed, reddened mucosa of the mouth and tongue - the typical “raspberry tongue“ - and inflamed tonsils: Examples ➜ A child insists on having a sweet but does not get it. ➜ A child is weaned from his pacifier. Phase Inflamed mucosa of the mouth, “raspberry mouth“: repair phase of a separation conflict - restoration of the squamous epithelium-mucous membrane (see p. 203). Inflamed tonsils: repair phase of a chunk conflict (see p. 207). Skin rash: repair phase of a separation conflict (see p. 318). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Avoid recurrences. See aphthous therapy on previous page and remedies for the mouth p. 212. Fever blisters (herpes simplex, herpes labialis) Same SBS as above. (See p.203.) Examples ➜ A child does not want to be kissed by his aunt. Nevertheless, he gets a big “smooch“ from her every time. > The child wants to be separated. ➜ Someone stuffs himself and regrets having overeaten afterwards > wanting to undo the lips’ contact with so much food. a A man sips a beverage with a straw. Afterwards, somebody tells him that a cat had just licked the straw. The man is disgusted = lip separation conflict. In the repair phase, he gets a fever blister. Note: It wasn‘t true at all, a cat hadn’t licked the straw. Someone was playing a trick on him. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte). Also: This is a good example of how conflicts can be entirely subjective and based on one’s imagination. a A woman notices, with distress, that her thoughtless words have deeply hurt her partner = conflict of wishing that one hadn‘t said something. Whenever this happens, she gets a fever blister two days later = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase: fever blisters, swelling, scabs, hardly any pain. In repair phase crisis pain, bleeding. Note Pain during cell degradation (ulcer), in other words before the fever blister appears. Consider mother/ child or partner side or local conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If relapses occur, find out what the conflict and conditioning are and resolve them. Guiding principle: see above. Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) internally. Apply salve, e.g., propolis salve (acts as a sealant), hyssop salve: add a few drops of hyssop oil to a basic natural salve, DMSO, colloidal silver. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. Fissures (cracks) in the corner of the mouth (rhagades) Conflict Separation conflict that one doesn’t open their mouth at the right moment. It was necessary to say something, but one remained silent. Teacher at school: “Say something, why don’t you?!” Example a A 25-year-old saleswoman has been suffering from a crack in the corner of her mouth since she has been together with her new partner. He tends to blow every little thing out of proportion. To keep from angering him any more and out of plain fear, she remains completely silent during these situations. = Conflict of not being allowed to open her mouth. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Painful fissures in the conflict-active phase, crusting and scabbing in the repair phase. Bio. function Increasing the sensibility of the mouth > the attention is directed to the lips so that one will finally open their mouth (wide). Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and belief (system). Practice expressing opinions freely. Apply ointment to the corners of the mouth, e.g., with propolis salve. See remedies for the mouth p. 212. E C T O 206 SBS of the Oral Submucosa Trench mouth, thrush (candidiasis), leukoplakia, geographic tongue1 Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG), commonly known as trench mouth, is a typical pediatric illness: The oral mucosa is coated with a yellowish-white, stinking film. Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) of not being able to grasp something that one wants to have or not being able to spit out or expel something that one wants to get rid of. Simply stated: Conflict of not getting what one wants or not being able to get rid of something one doesn‘t want. Examples a A young woman has been wanting to switch to a vegetarian diet for years, but never succeeds. She always ends up eating hot dogs or other fast foods due to lack of time = chunk conflict of not getting the right nutrition. One day, her partner and her decide to become vegetarians = beginning of the repair phase with painful oral thrush of the gums.(Archive B. Eybl) a In the beginning, a new mother has breast-feeding problems. For the first few days, the baby remains hungry = chunk conflict of not getting the food (milk). When the child finally gets full, it develops thrush (candidiasis) > a very common situation. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Growth of a lawn-shaped flat tumor (usually unnoticed) under the squamous epithelium of the oral mucosa = adeno-ca. Bio. function To produce more mucous with more (intestinal) glandular cells, so that the “chunk“ can better slip in or out of the pharynx. Repair phase Tubercular caseating degradation of tissue - white patches, so-called plaques, appear. In CM, this can sometimes be diagnosed as leukoplakia. Halitosis = trench mouth. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase and avoid relapses. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. Cancer of the palate (palatal adeno-ca)1 Conflict The same conflict as with SBS of the oral submucosa. See above. Example a Someone thinks he has won the lottery, but the lottery license shop has incorrectly registered his ticket. Chunk conflict of not being able to get the jack-pot. (See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 19) Conflict-active Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing tumor (adeno-ca) of absorptive quality under the epithelial mucosa of the mouth. Bio. function To produce more mucous with more (intestinal) glandular cells, so that the “chunk“ can better slip in or out of the pharynx. Repair phase Stinking tubercular caseation of the tumor. Degradation via fungi, or bacteria (mycobacteria). Possible white patches (leukoplakia), pain, halitosis, rotten taste in the mouth. Therapy Questions: see tonsillitis. Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. OP if necessary. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 19, 31 E N D O Lips, Mouth and Throat 207 Lips, Mouth and Throat SBS of the Tonsils Tonsil infections (angina, tonsillitis, angina tonsillaris), tonsil cancer (adeno-ca), pharyngeal polyps1 Together, the adenoids (pharyngeal tonsils) and the tubal, palatine and lingual tonsils form Waldeyer’s tonsillar ring. The tonsils are lymphatic sensors that determine if something about to be swallowed is fit to swallow. With increasing age, the tonsils shrink, because they have fulfilled their task (childhood learning and conditioning phase). Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to sufficiently verify an incoming chunk. Put simply: one can/may not verify (assess) if the thing that one is swallowing is good or bad. Conflict that one is confronted by accomplished facts (without being allowed to verify them). (“You’ll eat everything!”) One cannot just “row their boat gently down the stream” of life, rather, one wants to do everything their own way. (“I want..., I want...”) Example ➜ A child is forced to eat something he doesn‘t like. > Thus, their instincts are violated by force. Conflict that one cannot judge what is good for them for themselves. a A girl is weaned from the breast at the age of six months. She suffers a chunk conflict with respect to the tonsils and the sub-mucosa of the oral cavity. Three months later, when she is accustomed to not receiving breast milk, she gets oral thrush and shortly thereafter tonsillitis = repair phase of the two chunk conflicts. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increasing the sensibility of the brainstem through enlargement of the tonsil’s surface area = enlarged tonsils, pharyngeal polyps. Possibly difficulty with swallowing or breathing. Bio. function The enlarged surface area and increased sensibility makes a better assessment of the food “chunk.” Repair phase Normalization of function, stinking, tubercular caseation of the tumor via fungi or bacteria = tonsillitis. Tightening of the pharynx due to healing swelling. Aggravated by syndrome. Pain, swelling, halitosis, purulent tonsils, tonsil abscess, and night sweats. Note Increasingly, patients are being diagnosed with “tonsillar cancer“ instead of tonsillitis or enlarged tonsils. A portion of the tonsil consists of lymphatic tissue > combination tonsil SBS + lymph SBS (for this reason, see p. 173). Questions In the case that a child is affected: When did they have their first tonsillitis? (Find the original conflict, but keep in mind that it could also be a substitution conflict - a parent has a conflict and the child carries (materializes it in themselves) > ask about the child’s and the parent’s stress) E.g., didn’t get a toy/favorite food, parents fight. What brought on the repair phase? (E.g., got the food/toy). What was the conflict situation for this episode? (Work out the similarity to the original conflict). Which event sensitized the child? (Conditioning, e.g., through the character of the parents, pregnancy, birth). Therapy In the case that it is recurring: Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and belief (system). Guiding principles: “I am open for surprises - life is wonderful.” “Sometimes you get something you weren’t expecting - I want to accept and appreciate my gifts.” In children, tonsillitis tends to stop by a certain age, when they learn to accept the things they don’t have the power to change. (E.g., that they have to listen to the parents, that they don’t get an ice cream immediately). If the patient is a child with a substitution conflict, the parent(s) should resolve the conflict and then explain to the child that they do not have to carry it anymore (see p. 32ff). Gargling with colloidal silver. If necessary, use chinstrap while sleeping so that the mouth is closed. This offers a chance to improve recovery for enlarged tonsils. Surgery if the conflict recurs repeatedly and the tonsils are too abscessed. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 19, 32. E N D O 208 SBS of the Pharyngeal Mucosa Inflammation of the pharynx (pharyngitis) Common SBS with “infections,“ colds, the flu. Conflict Separation conflict, not wanting to swallow something, wishing to spit it out again (e.g., hostilities, accusations, insults). “That is hard to swallow!“ Also, separation conflict of not being allowed to swallow a certain food - for example, when on a diet. Examples ➜ A woman must “swallow“ a lot at the company where she works. On vacation she comes down with laryngitis during the repair phase. ➜ A child is not allowed to eat sweets. Instead, he should eat his vegetables > not wanting to swallow the vegetables. ➜ A person is constantly being reproached by his partner > wanting to spit out the accusations > cell reduction of the pharyngeal mucosa in the active-phase and restoration in the repair phase. a A schoolboy must study math every day; otherwise he will not pass > not wanting to “swallow” the learning material. As vacation approaches, he enters the repair phase > pharyngitis. Conflict-active Increased sensitivity, later cell degradation (ulcer) in the pharyngeal squamous epithelium with pain. Bio. function Through the high sensibility, one has a better sense of what they want to swallow and what not. Repair phase Restoration of the mucosa defects = pharyngitis. Swelling, difficulty swallowing, aggravated by syndrome. Repair crisis Severe pain, possibly lasting several days, chills. Questions Inflammation since when? (Resolution of the conflict, e.g., through a discussion, relaxing on the weekend, through attending to others). What did I not want to swallow before? Was this the first episode? (If no, go back and locate the first time this conflict was experienced = original conflict). What has conditioned me? (E.g., childhood). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. In case of a relapse, find out what the conflict and conditioning are and resolve them. Guiding principle: “I only swallow what is good for me!“ “I won’t let anybody force something upon me that I don’t want.“ See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. Salivary Gland Excretory Ducts (Mumps) Not being allowed to or not wanting to eat something Salivary Glands Chunk conflict E C T O Lips, Mouth and Throat 209 Lips, Mouth and Throat SBS of the Salivary Glands Tumor or inflammation (sialadenitis) of the parotid, sublingual and submandibular salivary glands1 Most people affected by sialadenitis are between the ages of 20 and 50. Up to 80% of the cases are parotitis, the other salivary glands are only involved in approximately 20% of the cases. Conflict The same conflict as with the SBS of the oral submucosa (see above). Example ➜ A child must eat all their food, even though they are already full. ➜ A child wants a certain toy, but does not get it. This often happens in kindergarten, when an only child suddenly has to share with other children. a A father of a very underweight, young son says he thinks the boy is suffering from bulimia nervosa (binge eating followed by vomiting). He can’t think of anything else > Can’t ingest the chunk, felt in substitution for his son. In the active phase, a tumor of the salivary gland develops. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 44-year-old patient leases a small farm from a farmer, so that he can live there with his family. When the key is handed over and the family wants to move in, the farmer shows up drunk and is very unfriendly. He says that before they can move in, they must “wash the windows.“ Over the following months, the patient can take little pleasure in the house, because the landlord is constantly meddling = chunk conflict of not being able to savor (insalivate) the “house-chunk.“ In the end, they communicate only through their lawyer and the lease is canceled at the first opportunity. During this time, a tumor of the parotid salivary gland develops on the right side. The patient is familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and accepts the diagnosis serenely. Within 6 years, the tumor disappears completely - by itself - without inflammation. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a cauliflower-life tumor (adeno-ca) of secretory quality. Enlargement and increase in capacity of the salivary gland. Possibly a recurring conflict. Bio. function Production of more saliva, so that the “chunk“ can be ingested in or be expelled. Repair phase Function normalization, tubercular caseation, stinking saliva, halitosis, pain, inflammation, reduction (melting away) of the tumor via fungi (mycosis) or bacteria = inflammation of the salivary gland, Fever, night sweats. Repair crisis Severe pain, chills. Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Guiding principle: “I don‘t expect anything. I can‘t have everything. I fully accept everything the way it is.“ Soften white cabbage leaves and apply. Oil pulling. Chew chewing gum to stimulate salivation and the purification of the gland. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. Dry mouth (mucoviscidosis of the salivary glands)1 Same SBS as above. Phase Persistent repair or the condition thereafter. Scarred degeneration of the glandular tissue due to recurrences > insufficient production of saliva. More common are the other reasons listed below. Note The frequent dryness of the mouth following menopause usually goes hand in hand with a lowering of the estrogen level (dryness of the mucous membranes). Increased dry mouth with active kidney collecting tubules. Radiation or radiation therapy can damage the mucous membrane and lead to dry mouth. Also, medications like antihypertensives, anti-depressants, diuretics and alcohol abuse can cause these symptoms. Dry mouth can be an indication of diabetes. 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. Oil pulling and lymph drainage massage, so that the juices start flowing again. Gargling with natural salt solution, Symbioflor 1, or EM. See remedies for the mouth p. 212. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 20, 31 E N D O 210 Salivary gland cysts These usually appear in the small salivary glands distributed throughout the mouth. For example, they can be caused by a bite on the upper lip > mucus collects and then solidifies (mucocele). If there is no injury: same SBS as above. Phase Completed healing or state following relapse. The completely removed tumor leaves an empty space (cyst). With syndrome, the cyst can be “pumped up“ again. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Avoid relapse and resolve refugee conflict, if still active. OP if necessary. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. SBS of the Branchial Arches Side (lateral or branchiogenous) neck cyst or fistula We normally think of the lymph nodes when the neck swells. In rare cases, however, this can be a lateral neck cyst. They are usually situated on the anterior surface of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, also known as the sternomastoid or SCM. Conflict Frontal-fear conflict. Fear of an inescapable danger coming head-on. (See also pp. 174, 198.) Phase Repair phase: Restoration of the squamous epithelium. During the repair swelling, the fluid can collect in cysts. If a cyst opens outwards, it is called a lateral (branchiogenous) neck fistula. Usually recurring conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Avoid recurrences. Lymph drainage massages. SBS of the Hard Palate Cleft lip, jaw or palate (harelip, orofacial cleft) One of the most common birth defects: An incomplete joining of the left and right nose or upper jaw plates in the embryonic stage. As with all hereditary diseases, our focus is directed to the parents and family. Conflict According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Self-esteem conflict, one doesn’t need a palate, because they are unable to get/swallow a chunk anyway. Substitute conflict (look among the parents/ancestors). Resignation with regard to survival/getting by. Conflict-active Limited connection of the tissue halves during embryonic development. Repair phase A closure of the cleft - making up for the development - is probably only possible during pregnancy. Restoration after birth without an OP cannot be ruled out, but is yet to be documented (own research). Bio. function A biological function for the individual is not recognizable. This defect should bring the issue to the family’s attention and, like every handicap, has the potential of providing great learning and developmental opportunities for all. Questions Did any ancestors already experience this birth defect? Does this issue correspond with any of the ancestors? Was there conflict/resignation during the pregnancy in the sense of: “I/we am/are not going to get through this anyway?” Therapy Determine and resolve the cause of the conflict and original conditioning so that the issue is healed within the family. This procedure undoubtedly also requires the healing after the (probably necessary) OPs. E N D O E C T O N E W M E S O Lips, Mouth and Throat 211 Lips, Mouth and Throat SBS of the Salivary Gland Ducts Inflammation of the parotid salivary gland ducts (mumps)1 According to CM, mumps affects the parotid salivary glands. However, according to Dr. Hamer, mumps is an inflammation of the parotid salivary gland excretory ducts. Conflict Not being able to, not being allowed to, or not wanting to eat something (moisten it). Example ➜ A child is forced to eat everything. “You will eat everything on your plate!“ Conflict-active Functional limitation, later, cell degradation (ulcer) in the squamous epithelium of the duct, painful pulling sensation. Bio. function Larger diameter > better excretion of saliva, better insalivation of food. Repair phase Swelling and reddening of the ducts. Possible occlusion and build-up of secretions = mumps - they look like an inflammation of the glands. Aggravated by syndrome. Note It is hard to tell the difference between mumps and an inflammation of the parotid salivary glands. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner) or local conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Avoid recurrences! Chew gum to stimulate salivation and the purification of the gland. See also remedies for the mouth p. 212. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, pp. 123, 136 Paralysis of the tongue A complete paralysis practically only occurs in the case of a stroke (paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve), but in these cases, one is also dealing with the underlying conflict. A partial paralysis manifests itself with the outstretched tongue leaning toward the paralyzed side. Conflict Motor conflict of not wanting, being allowed or being able to say something. Wishing that one had not said something. “I should have bitten my tongue.” “If I just wouldn’t have said anything.“ Not being able to reach something with the tongue (e.g., lack of food). Phase Paralysis in the conflict-active phase. Slow restoration in the repair phase. With a hot stroke, the conflict is already in the repair phase. (Paralysis through the enlargement of the synapses in the motor cortical center). Questions Paralysis since when? Conflict-active indication (compulsive thought, poor sleep, cold hands) or repair phase indication (psychically resolved, headache, warm hands) in the context of a hot stroke? Which stress was there in regard to speaking/speech? Did I say something wrong/I shouldn’t have said or was I afraid to speak? Why am I sensitized here? Similar characteristics in ancestors? Therapy Find out what the conflict and conditioning are and resolve them in real life. Guiding principle: see above. SBS of the Tongue Musculature SBS of the Thyroidal Excretory Ducts Medial neck cysts (thyroglossal duct cysts) These cysts are found on the existing remains of the thyroglossal ducts, on the center line of the body between the base of the tongue, the larynx and the thyroid. Powerlessness conflict or frontal-fear conflict (see p. 144). Phase Persistent repair: healing swelling of the thyroid’s excretory ducts. Therapy: See also p. 144. E C T O E C T O E C T O 212 Remedies for inflammations in the mouth and throat • Tea: fenugreek, chamomile, agrimony, sage, burdock root, anise, common mallow, horsetail, etc. • Oil pulling (see p. 61). • Gargle with colloidal silver. • Swedish bitters - “pull“ or swish in the mouth, gargle and then swallow. • Vitamin D3 (cod liver oil). • MMS, DMSO. • Gargling remedy: Natural salt solution, diluted or concentrated, swish in mouth for 10 min. then spit out. • Gargling remedy: Boil nut shells and oak bark and then allow them to steep for several hours; then drain and store in a cool place. Swish in the mouth and gargle several times a day. • Symbioflor 1, EM (see p. 59) or bread drink (Brottrunk) for symbionts • Curd cheese compress for the neck. Lymph drainage massages. Sialolithiasis (salivary (duct) stones) This is most often found (in 80% of cases) in the excretory ducts leading from the parotid salivary glands. Possible causes • Recurring inflammation of the salivary gland - persistent repair or condition following persistent repair. (See p. 209.) At the end of every tubercular repair, calcium deposits remain. Scarring degeneration of the glandular tissue due to recurrence > thickening and clumping of the saliva and deposition of minerals > salivary stones. • Recurring inflammation of the excretory ducts - persistent repair of the excretory ducts and condition following persistent repair. (See p. 211.) Repeated inflammation and congestion in the excretory ducts > clumping, thickening > mineral deposits > salivary stones. Lips, Mouth and Throat 213 Teeth and Jaw Jawbone, Periodontium Self-esteem conflict, not being able to bite Tooth Dentin Self-esteem conflict not being able to bite Tooth Enamel Not being allowed to bite Oral Submucosa Chunk conflict TEETH AND JAW Every tooth is made up of a dental crown (corona dentis), a neck (colum dentis) and a root (radix dentis). What we see externally in a healthy set of teeth is only ectodermal tooth enamel, which covers the mesodermal dentin lying below it like a glaze. In turn, the dentin covers the and nerve and vessel-filled tooth pulp (pulpa). The teeth are connected elastically to the jaws with the mesodermal cementum. There is a layer of old, endodermal intestinal mucosa between the mesodermal jawbone and the ectodermal oral mucosa. According to Dr. Hamer, teeth “function“ strictly according to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Although this might be true in theory, experience in this field tells a different story. According to my own experience and after numerous talks with New Medicine dentists, I had to rewrite this chapter: Firstly the diet is much more important than we thought, and secondly the restoration (re-calcification) has a literal “flaw.“ In the best case, i.e., if one permanently resolves their bite conflict and keeps to a proper diet, cavities will not increase in size, the affected areas (and the remaining teeth) harden. The black, decayed areas harden from the inside out and even regain a hardened surface. If you do nothing (without a dentist), cavities will not get better; they will get larger. Conclusion: conflict resolution AND a change in diet! Good, professional dental care is advisable - also for aesthetic reasons. Where was recovery observed? • In the jawbone, periodontal apparatus and gums. • In small cavities in the dentin and enamel. Larger cavities do not fill up again. Diet and teeth Proper nutrition is as important for healthy teeth as psychological balance. In his great, in-depth book, “Cure Tooth Decay,“ (see source list) Ramiel Nagel shows that tooth decay goes hand in hand with the introduction of modern industrial food. In his view, neither bacteria nor their acid excretions cause caries, but malnutrition and stress. Nagel’s nutrition recommendations for the regeneration of teeth and gums in short form: Avoid sugar (e.g., cakes, chocolate, soft drinks, sweet fruit), isolated starch (white flour, bread, pasta). These short-chain carbohydrates cause blood sugar spikes that interfere with the calcium-phosphate balance. Favor natural, vitamin rich foods. Especially important: Natural calcium and phosphate (e.g., in vegetables, unpasteurized dairy products, fish), naturally bound vitamins A, D and C (e.g., in liver, fish, eggs, unpasteurized butter, cream, cheese, avocado, herbs and fruit). 214 SBS of the Dentin Deep cavities affecting the dentin1 Conflict Self-esteem conflict of not being able to bite, to defend oneself or to assert oneself. Small variations in conflict according to localization. Examples ➜ A weak boy is regularly beaten up at school by his stronger classmates. ➜ At work, a man must always acquiesce to the will of others. He is too weak to get his own way. a A 53-year-old, left-handed man has an older brother who is very aggressive. During his childhood and youth, the patient was always an easy victim when his brother came home drunk = bite conflict - “I would like to bite back, but I don‘t dare, or I will come out on the short end!“ > Damage to the dentin on the molars (partner side) in the active-phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a The sister of a right-handed patient always knows better. During their few telephone conversations, her sister always holds monologues = conflict of not being able to bite her sister because it would disturb the family peace. The patient tries to accept her sister the way she is and thus comes into healing. The dentin of the right molar is affected. (Archive B. Eybl) a The parents of a 6-year-old boy are constantly quarreling. The father always loses his temper and begins screaming = bite conflict for the boy: “I would like to tell my father off, to bite him!“ > Breakdown of tooth dentin. Almost all of his teeth form cavities. He wishes for harmony between his mother and father. Unfortunately, the situation continues for years. Later in life, he lives with his own family in the same house, so the conflict continues to receive sustenance. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Teeth Charts, columns 3 and 4 (orange group) N E W M E S O Teeth and Jaw Oral hygiene, brushing the teeth All New Medicine dentists I have interviewed say that hygiene, care and healthy food are all crucial to healthy teeth. Also, well-cared for teeth and pleasant breath can improve a person‘s self-confidence and interpersonal relations. • I personally brush my teeth with a salt solution (sea salt or Himalaya salt dissolved in water and stored in a bottle or glass jar). I take a tablespoon of salt solution into my mouth and brush my teeth as usual. If the gums are sensitive, one can dilute the solution at the beginning. • Cayce: Brush the teeth with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and table salt. • New Medicine dentists recommend using fluoride-free toothpastes. Should one wait patiently when they have a cavity? No, because larger cavities do not regenerate themselves. Any sensible dentist will try to drill out only what is necessary and preserve as much of each tooth as possible. By undetermined pain, one should first wait and see before unnecessarily “sacrificing“ a tooth. Below are the biological relationships regarding the teeth: The purpose of the teeth • Incisors: biting, snapping and snarling. • Canines: sicking, seizing, capturing and holding on. • Bicuspids: chewing. • Molars: grinding. The conflict content based on the aforementioned: • Both incisors: not being able to or allowed to bite, snap, or bare one‘s teeth. • Canine teeth: not being able or allowed to sic, seize, capture or hold onto. • Bicuspids: not being able or allowed to chew. • Molars: not being able or allowed to grind. “Not being able to“ means: One doesn‘t dare, is too weak, too cowardly, too shy, or too cautious. One cannot bite, because it is outside of one‘s possibilities (e.g., worker/boss, pupil/teacher). Tissue affected: dentin - self-esteem conflict - cerebral white matter - mesoderm. “Not being allowed to“ means: Somebody or something prevents one from biting (e.g., “political correctness“ or “rules of propriety“). Affected tissue: tooth enamel - separation conflict - cerebral cortex. 215 Teeth and Jaw a I am left-handed and when I was 24 years old, I decided to begin an apprenticeship as a masseur. It was not easy to get a position, but I finally found a very promising one with a renowned acupoint masseur in Salzburg. Quickly, I saw through the secret of my teacher’s business success. He persuaded people that their pelvis was lopsided and that this was the cause of all their illnesses. My admiration of my boss quickly turned into aversion. I wished I could bite him and grind him to a powder. However, I couldn’t, since I knew that no one else would take me on as their apprentice after that. The conflict activity lasted for six months - finally it came to a discussion and our parting ways. Two weeks after my dismissal, I was lucky enough to find a new position. The toothache came at night - the dentist diagnosed a deep cavity. “It is already affecting the nerve.“ > Root canal treatment. (Personal experience B. Eybl) Conflict-active Formation of holes (cell breakdown) in the interior of the tooth - the dentin - usually only visible with x-ray, no pain. Consider “handedness“ (right or left) and side (mother/child or partner). Usually a recurring conflict. Repair phase Inflammation, toothache, especially at rest or in the night. Restoration (recalcification) only in very small defects. Aggravated by syndrome (kidney collecting tubules). If the inflammation goes into the dental pulp, the pain can be excruciating. According to New Medicine dentists: in the best case, recalcification only at the border to the healthy tissue > the cavity solidifies and does not get any bigger. Experience shows that a cavity will continue to increase in size if one doesn’t truly resolve the conflict and decisively change their diet. Bio. function Strengthening of the dentin Questions Which tooth is affected? (Molars - grinding, incisors - open conflict). Handedness, side of the mouth? (Right for right-handers > partner side, left for right-handers > mother/child side). Pain since when? (A bite conflict must have been resolved when the pain began: E.g., prevailing against an antagonist, finally expressing oneself clearly, bringing a project to an end). Did it appear suddenly? (Yes: sudden conflict resolution shortly before. No: Drawn-out/gradual conflict resolution). Pain at rest/nights? (Yes: Clearly an acute repair phase). Now, one should be able to clearly determine the conflict. Questions: What stressed me before this? Who did I want to bite? Where was I unable to get my way/”bite-through?” How do I deal with conflict/disharmony? Do I always give in? Do I avoid it? At what age were my teeth still intact? (Indication of the beginning of the bite conflict - but consider the lead time)! What is my diet like? (Determine if the diet plays a role). Conditioning: How do the members of my family deal with conflict/differences of opinion? (Culture of conflict). Was I programmed to “bite my way through?” (Ambition, successful parent(s)). Did my ancestors have important experiences with regard to “giving in/backing down,” violence/biting or “biting-through.” (Look for conditioning). Therapy: psyche To avoid new cavities think about possible psychological reasons > Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I am strong and brave!“ “I‘ll bite if necessary!“ Imagine the situation or the adversary and bite with satisfaction. Different strategy: forgiveness. Think positively about your teeth and imagine them being healthy and shiny. Bach flowers: larch, centaury. Therapy: tooth Dietary changes according to Nagel: omit sugar, white flour. Eat more vitamin-rich foods. Cod liver oil 1 tbsp/day, beef-bone or fish soup with vegetables at least 3 x / week, soft boiled or raw eggs often. By all means, have large cavities filled by a dentist. In case of smaller cavities, one can possibly wait. CM painkillers if necessary. Preserve every natural tooth if possible. If a root canal or extraction is necessary, antibiotics are usually prescribed as a precaution measure. These are unnecessary from the perspective of the New Medicine. Lymph drainage massages, oil pulling. Tea/mouthwashes: comfrey, horsetail, possibly restharrow, chamomile. Xylitol, DMSO. Rinse mouth with salt water, EM, colloidal silver. Hydrogen peroxide. Natural borax - hold in mouth before swallowing. Parodontitis (atrophy of the gums) Same SBS as above. Example a A 46-year-old cheats on his wife and pays for it with prostate cancer. (See p. 303). That is not N E W M E S O 216 all: after he confesses to his wife, she becomes, understandably, distrustful. She wants to go everywhere with him and is always checking up on him. The patient feels guilty toward his wife and no longer dares to be demanding. He accepts all the limitations placed upon him = active self-esteem, bite conflict. > Subsequently, he develops extensive, advanced parodontitis, the upper jaw being affected more then the lower jaw. His once white teeth become discolored and are now yellowishgray. In addition, the dentist finds a decrease in their vertical dimensions (the teeth have sunken). A root planing is carried out. Therapy: When the couple sees the connections, they decide that they should renew their marriage vows with a little ceremony - from now on, he will remain faithful and she puts an end to the whole matter in her mind. Two years later : the relationship is rosy again and the patient’s teeth are solid again. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Degradation of cementum. The tooth neck appears longer, because the apparatus that holds the teeth in place (periodontium) is receding = parodontitis. The teeth may possibly take on a yellowish discoloration (= indication of a lack of tooth vitality). No pain. Chronic periodontitis is a result of recurrent conflicts. Repair phase Inflammation, bleeding (while brushing), pain, restoration. Bio. function Strengthening of the periodontal apparatus Therapy Questions: see previous page. Find the conflict and conditioning and if resolve them in real life. If this succeeds, repair pain (good sign) will follow. Stabilization of the tooth with adhesive or bracket until the tooth is stable and the healing is complete. Be patient - the healing process often takes longer than one would like. Natural, nutritious, alkaline diet, linseed oil. Dietary changes according to Nagel: omit sugar, white flour. Eat more vitamin-rich foods. Cod liver oil 1 tbsp/day, beef-bone or fish soup with vegetables at least 3 x/week, soft boiled or raw eggs often. Bach flowers: larch, centaury, tea/mouthwash: comfrey root, horsetail, blackberry leaves, sage. Rinse the mouth and/or brush the teeth with salt solution, hydrogen peroxide, DMSO. Oil pulling. Cayce: for susceptibility to parodontitis and cavities, clean and massage the teeth and gums with ipsab powder (= prickly-ash, North American “toothache tree“). Natural borax - hold in mouth for a long time before swallowing. Xylitol. Zeolite powder internally. Dedentition (tooth loss) Same SBS as above. (See p. 214.) Phase Persistent-active conflict. Atrophy of the periodontal apparatus > loss of teeth. Therapy Find the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life so that no more teeth fall out! Jaw cysts Same SBS as above. (See p. 214.) Phase Recurring-conflict, usually with syndrome. Restoration and degradation phases repeat themselves > formation of hollow spaces (cysts). Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and belief (system). Change diet (see p. 213). Jaw Tumor (odontoma, myxoma, osteosarcoma)2 Same SBS as above. (See p. 214.) Example a A 50-year-old, married, right-handed woman fulfills her long-time dream: With a considerable sum (her entire savings), she opens a flower boutique together with a partner. Now, she is self-employed. Unfortunately, her project turns out to be a mistake, because shortly after opening, there is a dispute with the landlord. The business also doesn’t take off as hoped. = Bite conflict - she would like nothing more than to tear the landlord to shreds and she isn’t succeeding professionally. After two years, she finally pulls the emergency brake, leaves the partnership and writes off the money. = Beginning of the repair phase: She experiences tooth and jaw pain (right side) and chronic fatigue. When the pain doesn’t improve, she is taken to the hospital where a jaw tumor is diagnosed. An operation follows immediately. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase or persistent repair (recurrent conflict), possibly with syndrome. Restoration of the jawbone after previous cell degradation. Severe pain. N E W M E S O Teeth and Jaw 217 Teeth and Jaw SBS of the Tooth Enamel Surface cavities affecting the tooth enamel1 Conflict Not being allowed to bite, small variations in conflict according to localization (see above). Examples ➜ An employee is always being “bossed around“ (bitten) by his superior; however, he may not bite back, or he will lose his job. a A woman is put under pressure by her partner to finally defend herself against her sister‘s attacks. However, the patient wants to avoid arguments. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell degradation in the tooth enamel (ulcer). Development of cavities = enamel defect, pain. Bio. function The person or thing should be rendered “unbiteable” due to temporary hypersensitivity. - One doesn’t want to bite anymore, because biting hurts. Repair phase Restoration only of minimal defects. False sensitivity to hot/cold or sweet/sour. For large cavities, a full restoration is unrealistic. In the best case, the cavity will stay the way it is - or it will even get larger, if it is not treated. Therapy psyche To avoid new cavities, think about a possible psychological reason. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Questions: see next page. Guiding principle: “I have the right to defend myself!“ “I don‘t have to put up with anything and from now on, I’m going to sink my teeth into life!“ Alternate strategy: Absolute forgiveness. Always think positively about your teeth and imagine them being healthy and shiny. Tooth therapy Let a dentist fill the tooth - avoid amalgam fillings! If necessary, CM painkillers - short term. Nutrition according to Nagel (see also p. 213): Omit sugar and white flour. Consume more vitamin-rich foods. Cod liver oil 1 tbsp/day. Beef bone or fish soup with vegetables at least 3 x/week, soft boiled or raw eggs often. Mouthwash with sage, clove, blackberry, frankincense or tincture of myrrh or EM. Natural Borax, hold in mouth as long as possible before swallowing. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Teeth Charts, columns 1 - 6 E C T O Therapy The bite conflict is resolved, support the repair phase. If recurring, determine and resolve the conflict, conditioning and beliefs. If necessary, resolve refugee crisis. Change diet (see p. 213). Attention: Do not puncture > danger of callus leakage > resulting in a “sarcoma.” Lymph drainage. See also: repair phase at the brain level, p 67. Dental calculus (tartar) Not only poor dental hygiene can be the cause of solid dental tartar: 1. Dental calculus forms increasingly in the area of bad, loose teeth. During repair phases of the periodontium, dentin or the jawbone, fibrocartilage callus finds its way into the oral cavity via the salivary glands or directly out of the gums. This “liquid bone”mixes with dental plaque and hardens on the outside of tooth necks > yellowish deposits = tarter. 2. One often finds tarter in the area were the salivary gland excretory ducts enter the oral cavity = indication of salivary fluid imbalance (tendency toward crystallization). According to Nagel, tartar forms due to too much free calcium or an imbalance between calcium and phosphate. Phase Buildup during the repair phase or recurrent conflict (same SBS as above). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life so that no new tartar forms. Improve oral hygiene, change diet (advice on p. 213). Mechanical removal as a part of regular prophylaxis. N E W M E S O 218 Gingivitis and parodontitis - inflammation of the gums, parodontium Possible causes • Inflammation of the superficial, ectodermal oral mucosa - repair phase. Superficial, visible reddening, swelling, bleeding, but without pain (except during the repair phase crisis). No night sweats, no halitosis (see 203). • Inflammation of the deep-lying endodermal oral submucosa - repair phase. Inflammation from underneath, halitosis, stinking pus, night sweats (see p. 218). • Inflammation of the periodontium - repair phase: deep inflammation, loose tooth or teeth, pain, non-stinking pus (= callus). No night sweats, mini-leukemia. See p. 214. • Calcium deficiency/improper diet (see p. 213). Therapy Improve diet, especially by taking vitamins D and C (see p. 213). Gargle with colloidal silver, sage tea, tincture of frankincense or myrrh, MMS, EM, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Regular dental prophylaxis. Gum proliferations (gingival hyperplasia, epulis) Each of the following three causes is possible • Oral submucosa : Persistent conflict activity, see p. 218. • Periodontal apparatus: persistent repair, see p. 214. • Oral mucosa: persistent repair, see 203. SBS of the Oral Submucosa Periodontal abscess (tooth fistula) Conflict Chunk-bite conflict: In right side of the mouth: not being able to bite/get a food chunk (something desired or good, for example, certain foods, a good job, a car, because you do not dare). In left side of the mouth: Not being able to get rid of something undesirable or uncomfortable because you cannot prevail. (For example, a man feels stuck in a situation where he cannot “bite his way through”). According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: One doesn’t have enough confidence to address/approach the problem directly and chooses a “diplomatic detour” instead. Example a A single-mother is tormented by her teenage daughter. She would rather avoid confrontations. - She can’t bite her way though. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a tumor (adeno-ca) under the oral squamous epithelium (usually unnoticed). Bio. function With more glandular cells, more mucus is produced, so that the chunk glides in or out of the throat better. Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular, caseating degradation. Foul taste in the mouth, possibly local excretion of pus, halitosis, night sweats (tuberculosis). Usually a recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Severe pain, possibly chills. Therapy Support the healing. In the case that the abscess recurs or doesn’t go away, resolve the conflict and conditioning. (Questions: see p. 215.) Oil pulling therapy, lymph drainages, gargling with colloidal silver. Tea/mouthwash: anise, blueberries, mallow, honey. Gargling with (H2 O2 ). Natural borax - hold in mouth for a long time. E N D O Teeth and Jaw 219 Teeth and Jaw Grinding of the teeth (bruxism) Some of us have taken the words “Clench your teeth!“ too literally. Teeth-grinding is usually noticed only by the partner because it occurs in the context of repair phase crises during deep sleep. The grinding wears the teeth down unnecessarily, therefore, something should be done about it. Conflict Motor conflict: not being able or allowed to snap, grind or “bite one’s way through.” One believes that they must bite their way through. Issues: doggedness, uptightness, fanaticism. Example ➜ During the day, someone wishes to bite often, but does nothing, because they are too cowardly > at night they enter the repair phase and grinds their teeth during repair phase crises. At night, one does (biting) what they didn’t do during the day. Phase Repair phase crisis in the context of the repair phase > cramping of the jaw muscles (masseter, temporal, medial pterygoid) during relaxation (at night) - teeth-grinding = “chewing muscle epilepsy.“ Usually a recurring-conflict. Questions Grinding since when? (Ask partner, parents. A bite conflict has been ongoing at least since then). If it was especially heavy: What happened the day before? (Indication of the conflict). How is it on vacation? (If better > conflict in daily life). Ancestors/family members also affected? (If yes: work out the family issue). 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 principle: “No more ‘grin and bear it.’ If need be, I‘ll bite!“ Imagine the situation or the adversary and bite. Immediately address everything bothersome or what one disagrees with and then bury it. Thereafter, reconcile with the situation internally or personally with the person in question. Bach flowers: agrimony. Occlusal bite block/splint (“night-guard“), so the teeth don‘t get worn down grinding in the night. SBS of the Jaw Muscles E C T O 220 Esophagus ESOPHAGUS The approximately 25 cm (10 in) long, muscular food pipe - the esophagus - transports food pulp from the pharynx to the stomach using peristaltic (undulating) motions. The esophagus is composed of endodermal intestinal mucosa with involuntary muscle underneath. In the upper two-thirds of the esophagus, ectodermal epithelium, composed of voluntary (striated) muscle which migrated from the mouth, lies over the old intestinal mucosa (ectodermal squamous epithelium and voluntary striated muscle usually make a pair). In the illustration below, you see two ectodermal areas located in the otherwise endodermal digestive tract: The lesser curvature of the stomach along with the pyloric sphincter and the last inch of the rectum and anus. Esophageal Submucosa (lower third) Chunk conflict, not being able to swallow something Superficial Esophageal Mucosa (upper two-thirds) Not wanting to swallow something SBS of the Esophageal Submucosa Endodermal esophageal cancer (adeno-ca)1 This cancer normally develops in the lower third of the esophagus. It can also occur in the upper two-thirds, as a “leftover“ of the old intestinal mucosa or below the squamous mucosa (submucosal). Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Not being able to swallow something. One wants to swallow something but is prevented from doing so. One wants something but does not get it. Example ➜ Someone is left empty-handed in terms of money, inheritance, pension, even though they counted on it. a A 70-year-old, married retiree likes most of all to spend time tending to his leased garden. As he returns from a summer vacation, he finds a backhoe digging up the garden = conflict, the garden (= chunk) can’t be ingested - he can no longer “embody” it. In the active-phase, a “malignant“ adeno-ca develops. The patient has trouble swallowing. Fortunately in the meantime, he has been promised a new garden = beginning of the repair phase with night-time coughing and spitting up of caseated pieces of the tumor. (See Claudio Trupiano, Danke Doktor Hamer, p. 161) Conflict-active Increased function. Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing tumor of absorptive quality. Narrowing of the esophagus, swallowing difficulties. Possibly only pureed or liquid food can be swallowed = esophageal stenosis. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 21 E N D O 221 Esophagus SBS of the Esophageal Ectodermal Mucosa Ectodermal esophageal cancer (ulcer-ca)1 This type of cancer only grows in the upper two-thirds of the esophagus. Conflict Not wanting to swallow (accept) something, wanting to spit something out again. One would rather just vomit and rebel - but they don’t do it. Examples ➜ “It’s a hard pill to swallow.“ “That’s going to be hard for me to swallow.“ ➜ “That‘s hard to swallow!“ (E.g., accusation, loss of work, stroke of fate.) a A very honest postman is accused by his boss of having embezzled a package containing a large sum of money = conflict of not wanting to swallow the accusation. Growth of an esophageal cancer in the active-phase. It is diagnosed in the repair phase. (See Dr. Hamer, Krankheit der Seele, p. 296) a The patient is a glassblower and comes back to his workplace following a vacation. He is stunned to learn that an apprentice has taken his place. He has a big row with his supervisor = not wanting to accept the fact. (See Dr. Hamer, Krankheit der Seele, p. 218) Conflict-active Cell degradation in the epithelium (ulcer-ca), pain. Bio. function By increasing the diameter of the esophagus, the chunk can be better expectorated or vomited. Repair phase Restoration of the mucous membrane. Inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis, herpes or cytomegalic esophagitis, glycogen acanthosis, no pain, but swelling and swallowing difficulties). Aggravated by syndrome. The patient can be left with scars, diverticula or so-called esophageal rings and membranes. Possibly a recurring conflict. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 122, 135 Bio. function Secretory quality: To produce more digestive juices to break down the chunk that is stuck in the esophagus so that it can actually be swallowed. Absorptive quality: To be able to absorb the chunk through improved up-take of nutrients. Repair phase Normalized function and/or tubercular caseation of the tumor. Degradation via fungi or bacteria. Inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis, esophageal thrush). Pain behind the breastbone. Danger of unnoticed bleeding (black stool, “occult blood“). Night sweats, fever. Aggravated by syndrome. Possibly scars, diverticula (bulges where the tube has been weakened) or so-called esophagus rings and membranes may remain. Repair crisis Severe pain, bleeding, chills. Questions Complaints since when? (Conflict previous). What am I not allowed to incorporate/take in/embody? (Sum of money, something important to me, a better life)? Why is it so important to me? (Work out conditioning, e.g., early childhood experiences of not getting something). Why is this thing more important than my life? What is my attitude toward ownership/possessions? What is the meaning of life? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I am satisfied with what I have.“ “There is a reason why this has happened.“ “That’s it, done!“ If necessary, OP without chemo or radiation. “Varicose veins in the esophagus“ (esophageal varices) Same SBS as above. In CM, this is seen as congestion in the portal vein system. This hypothesis is questionable - more than likely, this is an SBS of the esophagus. Phase Recurring-conflict or the condition thereafter. Extremely dilated submucosal veins in the lower third of the esophagus = blood vessel scar tissue. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the SBS comes to an end. In the case of acute, threatening hemorrhage: OP (rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy). E N D O E C T O 222 Esophagus Inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis) This could be either of the two SBSs described above • Inflammation of the upper two-thirds of the esophagus: repair phase. One found something revolting. See p. 221. • Inflammation of the lower two-thirds of the esophagus: repair phase. One wasn’t allowed to incorporate something. See p. 220. Repair crisis Pain, possibly heavy bleeding > melena (tarry stool), chills. Questions Study the histological findings and determine if it is an adeno-ca (yellow group) or a squamous cell-ca (red group). Determine if one is in vagotonia or still in the active phase: sleep in the early morning, hand temperature, fever, appetite, dreams? Estimate the time period of the conflict. If in the active phase: What don’t I want to swallow? (Determine the exact situation). Do I generally acquiesce a lot? What is stressing me? Are there taboo topics? (These are often a source of conflict). What conditioning makes me sensitive to this issue? (Childhood experiences, experiences of the parents/ancestors)? Which belief(s) has paved the way for the conflict? (E.g. Being everything for everyone. One is only loved when one is well-behaved. It’s better not to be conspicuous). Are/ were there similar conflict situations among my ancestors? (If yes, resolve the family issue through healing thoughts/meditation/prayers). Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them if they are still active. Guiding principles: “I will only swallow what’s good for me.“ “I won‘t let anyone force anything down my throat anymore.” “I am at peace with everything.“ If necessary, surgery without chemo or radiation. E C T O Esophageal spasm/food bolus obstruction, “steakhouse syndrome,” achalasia The two-layered esophageal muscles transport swallowed food into the stomach by means of peristaltic waves. Conflict Not wanting to ingest whatever (bad) was involuntarily swallowed. Not wanting to accept something. Example ➜ “I couldn’t repeat the accusations, because they got stuck in my throat.” a During the corona lockdown, a 60-year-old suffered from extremely painful esophageal cramps while drinking beer and eating – his days of carefree eating are over. The Cause: Heated discussions about the corona crisis being staged. = Conflict, can’t accept the opinions of others. Conditioning: His father was opinionated and belligerent. Therapy: Before drinking/eating he should go to his father in his thoughts and tell him that they have something to resolve together (blessing/acceptance instead of emotional arguing). His symptoms disappeared within a few days. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Recurrent conflict. Esophageal cramps are the healing crises of this SBS. The food gets stuck on its way to the stomach. Lumps and/or severe pain in the throat and/or chest area, panic. Bio. function The ring muscles of the esophagus contract to prevent the bad morsel from being swallowed. The cramps in the epi-crisis indicate that something unacceptable was previously swallowed. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Indication of the beginning of the stressful situations) What couldn’t/ can’t I swallow/ingest/accept? Why is it so difficult for me to deal with opposition? Did any of my ancestors have similar difficulties? Which? Which strategies will I use to adapt? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning. Guiding thoughts: “I will only swallow what’s good for me.” “I disagree with and bless my counterpart.” Magnesium chloride foot baths, cannabis, peppermint oil. If nothing else helps, possibly a CM botulinum toxin injection, calcium channel blockers/antagonists orally. SBS of the Smooth Esophageal Musculature E N D O 223 Stomach SBS of the Superficial Mucosa of the Stomach Heartburn I, hyperacidity of the stomach, inflammation of the gastric mucosa (gastritis), stomach-epithelial cancer (stomach ulcer-cancer), stomach ulcer1 Conflict Territorial-anger conflict, less often - identity conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). One is sour (like the gastric juices). One boils with rage or is angry on the inside. Examples ➜ Usually dealing with aggression. Either it’s one’s own anger coming from someone else. ➜ Boundary disputes with neighbors, a mother-in-law’s encroachments,“ problems with coworkers. ➜ One is forced to accept a subordinate role or “back down.“ a A man regards a new colleague at work as competition. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 34-year-old woman shares an office with a nice colleague. Suddenly, they are joined by three new coworkers of various nationalities who ignore the rules: The kitchen and toilet are dirty and the standard working hours are not observed = territorial-anger conflict. After a few weeks, the conflict is resolved when her friend tells her about another job opening in another company. Since then, she is more relaxed about the situation. In the repair phase and/or repair phase crisis, the patient becomes very sick to her stomach. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte) a A now 41-year-old patient has a violent father, under whom he suffers to this day. His father beats his mother regularly and he himself has been berated and put down ever since he was a child. All the time he hears “…you loser!“ = territorial-anger conflict > cell degradation in the stomach mucosa. Repeatedly, he has mild heartburn = active-phase. Seven months ago, a child runs into the 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 115 E C T O STOMACH The stomach takes the food pulp from the esophagus and sends it on through the pylorus to the duodenum. Glands in the mucous membranes of the stomach produce gastric juices (pepsin and hydrochloric acid), which break down proteins. Like most of the digestive canal, the stomach (ventriculus) is made up mainly of endodermal tissue, with the exception of the pylorus and the lesser curvature - those are covered with ectodermal squamous epithelium. Stomach Mucosa - Squamous Epithelium (Lesser Curvature and Pylorus) Territorial-anger/ identity conflict Stomach Mucosa - Columnar Epithelium Inability to digest something Duodenum Territorial-anger conflict 224 Stomach patient‘s car. He is not at fault, but out of his subconscious, the conflict comes up again: “…you loser! “ = recurrence > After the accident, he has had severe heartburn for half a year = active-phase. The patient is always slightly conflict-active, because he lives with his family at the parents‘ farm, practically next door to his father. The best therapy would be to move away from the farm, but that is out of the question for the patient. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased sensitivity, later, cell degradation in the affected area of the squamous epithelial mucosa of the stomach. The longer the conflict lasts, the deeper the tissue defects (ulcers) become. Paralysis of the underlying voluntary (striated) muscles, leading to a greater stomach lumen. According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann, if someone is repeatedly angered or feels like they’re being attacked, the gastric juices respond to the “thing” that can’t be digested, producing acid reflux. (A prophylactic stomach acid attack). Bio. function With increased sensitivity, one has a better sense of what is digestible or indigestible (sickening). Repair phase Restoration of the stomach mucosa’s squamous epithelium. Bleeding stomach ulcer, possibly some blood in the stool (occult blood). Repair crisis Severe colicky pain, heavy bleeding (tarry stool), loss of consciousness (absence seizures), stomach colic, and possibly chills. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict directly beforehand and also precisely during the symptoms). What stressed me during the heartburn? (Review all situations in the recent past). Symptoms for the first time ever? (If no, analyze the time period in question = initial territorial anger). What conditioned me, so that situations like these make me so angry? (Childhood experiences, pregnancy, parent’s experiences - these are also subconsciously mine). Work out any similarities with ancestors > become aware > ask myself the question: Am I ready to leave this pattern of behavior? What do I want to change on the outside? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the stomach mucosa can regenerate. Find out where the love is - you will also find the solution there. Guiding principles: “No anger in my heart.“ “There isn’t anything that can upset me.“ “If necessary, I will fight!“ Alkaline powder, but better if organically bound - i.e., eat lots of fruits, vegetables and wild herbs (especially apples, carrots, potatoes, boiled cabbage). Kanne Bread Drink. Willfort: 3-week treatment with freshly-squeezed cabbage juice - drink 0.5 - 1 l (16 - 32 oz) over the whole day. Colloidal silver internally. Segment and reflexology massage, acupuncture. Hildegard of Bingen: fennel seeds and leaf, mosquito plant (Mentha polegium), sage, muscatel-sage elixir. Acid neutralizing remedies (antacids - mostly sodium bicarbonate) are harmless drugs, which may even benefit the organism if it is too acidic in general (with active kidney collecting tubules SBS). The situation with antacids (proton pump inhibitors, H2-antihistamines) is quite different. These are harmful in the long run. See also: stomach remedies on p. 226. Perforation of the stomach wall - gastric ulcer > peptic ulcer disease Same SBS as above. (See p. 223.) Phase Persistent, active conflict, causing the ulcer to become increasingly deeper. > Stomach perforation that can be life threatening (acute abdomen > peptic ulcer disease). Therapy Questions: see previous page. Identify the conflict and triggers and, if possible, resolve them in real life, so that the mucosa of the stomach can regenerate. Surgery if necessary. See above and stomach remedies p. 226. Stomach displacement (gastroptosis), partial stomach paralysis stomach (gastroparesis), stomach prolapse into the duodenum (gastroduodenal prolapse) Same SBS as above. (See p. 223.) Phase Conflict-active phase: sinking of the stomach or prolapse into the duodenum due to a paralysis of the voluntary (striated) muscles of the stomach. Therapy Questions: see previous page. Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve in real life. E C T O 225 Stomach SBS of the Gastric Mucosa Stomach cancer (adeno-ca), stomach polyps, parietal cell proliferation (hyperplasia), thickening of the stomach wall, diffuse hyperplasia of the stomach mucosa1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to digest something. Trouble with the mother-in-law, siblings, children, boss, etc. ”I don’t have the stomach for/can’t stomach it.” “It turns my stomach.” Examples ➜ Somebody isn‘t given the pay raise they were promised. Someone must sell his car for far less than its value, although they need the money badly. A man‘s mother-in-law, who lives in the same house with him, gets on his nerves every day. a A 45-year-old, married mother of two works as an exercise therapist at a social organization. She finds the work entirely unsatisfying and meaningless = indigestible-anger conflict. When she gets a new job, she comes into healing with night sweats and stomach pain. CM diagnoses a metaplasia of the gastric mucosa. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function. Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality up to the size of a grapefruit, or a flat-growing adeno-ca of absorptive quality (CM: a “thickening of the stomach wall“ or a “hyperplasia of the mucosa”). In principle, polyps are cancer (cell growth) as well. In CM, the size alone often determines whether the diagnosis is a “malignant cancer“ or “harmless polyp.“ Bio. function Production of more digestive juices in order to better break down (secretory quality) or absorb (absorptive quality) the firmly lodged chunk. Repair phase Function normalization, tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor with light bleeding, pain and night sweats or encapsulation of the tumor if no tubercular bacteria are present. One can live symptom free for decades with an encapsulated tumor, assuming the food pulp has enough space and the passage is clear. Repair crisis Heavy bleeding and pain, chills. Note Diagnostic tip: acid blockers only help with an SBS of the superficial mucous membrane, not with an SBS of the deep-lying mucosa. Questions First, based on the symptoms, determine if the conflict is active or in the repair phase: If active or recurring: Diagnosed when? (Conflict probably began much earlier). What happened at the time period in question? Which stress situations where there? What changed in my life? (Career, relationship, friends, life situation, information that was hard to bear)? Which conditioning lies at the bottom of the conflict? (Childhood, pregnancy, parent’s/ancestor’s experience)? Which beliefs play a role? Therapy Identify the conflict and/or trigger and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Guiding principles: “I will make peace with myself and my family.“ “What has happened is all right - it had a purpose.“ “With my new knowledge, I’ll make a new start in life.“ If applicable, surgery without chemo or radiation. See also: stomach remedies on p. 226. Gastritis with fever and night sweats, stomach thrush1 Same SBS as above. Phase Repair phase: tubercular-caseating, necrotic degradation of the tumor with acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria) > “thrush“ or “candidiasis.“ Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If recurring, resolve the conflict and conditioning. Colloidal silver internally, Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 5, 8, and 9. See also: stomach remedies on p. 226. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts, p. 22 E N D O 226 Stomach Heartburn II, regurgitation of gastric juices into the esophagus (reflux, esophageal reflux, Barrett‘s esophagus), cardia insufficiency With heartburn, the esophagus becomes inflamed by gastric juices entering the esophagus (esophageal reflux). First, we have to consider territorial-anger (p. 223), then this SBS: Conflict Not being able to disgorge something bad that has been swallowed or not being able to take up or accept something good that has been swallowed. Example a A 20-year-old, introverted man feels ill-at-ease in larger groups. In spite of this, he regularly attends soccer practices and goes out drinking with his colleagues in bars. There, the loud ones have the say. He often has to swallow things he doesn‘t like at all = conflict of not being able to disgorge or spit out what he has had to swallow. Since he was 16, he has experienced a trigger whenever he has been forced onto the defensive or whenever he drinks alcohol > heartburn. (Archive B.Eybl) Conflict-active In sympathicotonia, the cardia opens > rise of the gastric juices into the esophagus > heartburn, persistent-conflict: a “burning“ of the esophagus. Persistent-conflict: “burning“ of the esophagus > reflux esophagitis. Bio. function Dilation of the cardia: so that what is bad can be better disgorged or what is good can be better swallowed. Repair phase Normalization of tense muscles. In the repair phase crisis, stomach or esophageal cramps occurring in fits. Therapy Questions: see p. 190. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “From now on, I‘ll only swallow what‘s good for me. Otherwise I will refuse.“ Eat alkaline foods. See also: stomach remedies. Acid blockers, possibly proton pump inhibitors short-term. SBS of the Gastric Sphincter E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown Stomach bleeding, tarry stool, stomach colic, vomiting blood • Inflammation of the squamous epithelium (gastritis) - Repair phase: the healing stomach ulcers bleed. No pain, tarry stool. In addition to the loss of blood, a “stomach coma“ (= repair phase crisis) can be dangerous. Heavy bleeding and colic in the repair phase crisis. (See p. 223.) • Adeno-ca - Repair phase: tubercular, caseating, necrotic degradation of the tumor by acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria). Bleeding, fever, night sweats. Heavy bleeding in the repair phase crisis: hyperperistalsis, possibly vomiting. Blood in the vomit. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. For heavy bleeding, monitoring via hemogram (blood count) > If necessary, administer transfusions temporarily. Warning: Blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants) increase blood loss. Stomach remedies • Tea: centaury, absinthe, sweet flag (Acorus calamus), marjoram, fennel, bitter root (Gentiana lutea), hops, raspberry leaves. • Chew your food thoroughly, enjoy your meals, and “decelerate/slow down“. • Bach flowers: holly, willow. • Swedish bitters, nut-schnapps. • The stomach is treatable with therapeutic massages (in the area of the left shoulder blade). • Infrared therapy (red), warmth • Reflex-zone massages and acupuncture. • Best time for therapy according to the organ clock: 7-9 a.m. • Zeolite powder. • Willfort: three-week health cure of drinking 0.5-1 l (16-32 oz) of freshly-squeezed white cabbage juice. 227 Small Intestine - Duodenum SBS of the Superficial Duodenal Mucosa Duodenal ulcer (ulcus duodeni), duodenal ca) Corresponding with the germ layer order, this SBS is almost identical with the superficial stomach mucosa (see p. 223). Conflict Territorial-anger conflict or, less often, an identity conflict (depending on sex, “handedness,” hormone levels and age). One is upset, because their territory or their territorial boundaries are violated. Examples ➜ Boundary dispute with the neighbor. ➜ A man‘s partner flirts with another man. He suspects that she is having an affair with him. a Following a prostate surgery, a man is impotent and can no longer satisfy his wife. Territorial-anger conflict > cell degradation in the active-phase, restoration in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A now 53-year-old patient meets her husband while still at school. When she sees her future fatherin-law for the first time, she is repulsed by the man = territorial-anger conflict and fear-revulsion conflict. She has suffered from bulimia for many years, dating back to this first encounter. Her relationship with her father-in-law is bad to this day. Whenever he comes to visit, he insists on taking her usual seat at the table. Moreover, he always seems aggravated and never says a word. The patient is also always aggravated that she has to give up her place because of his stubbornness = recurring territorial-anger conflict. Therapy: “reformat and reboot” - and don‘t invite him anymore. Drink raw potato juice. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased sensibility, later, cell degradation of the affected mucous membrane, pain. The longer the conflict lasts, the deeper the defect in the tissue (ulcer) becomes. Usually a recurring conflict. Bio. function Through increased sensibility, one can better determine what is digestible or indigestible. Repair phase Bleeding of the healing ulcer (causing tarry stools), no pain. Repair crisis Severe colicky pain, heavy bleeding, possibly absence seizures, chills. Therapy Questions: see p. 204. Determine the conflicts and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active! See also: stomach remedies on p. 226. SMALL INTESTINE - DUODENUM The approximately 25 cm (10-15 in) long duodenum receives the food pulp from the pylorus, the “stomach‘s gatekeeper.“ The beginning of the duodenum widens into the duodenal bulb. The middle of the duodenum narrows to the papilla. Here, the ducts of the gallbladder and pancreas join. The duodenal bulb is lined with ectodermal squamous epithelium. However, the parts that are further “downstream,“ such as the rest of the small intestine, are made up of endodermal tissue. Duodenum Mucosa (Squamous Epithelium) Territorial-anger Remaining Small Intestinal Mucosa Inability to digest something E C T O 228 Small Intestine - Duodenum SBS of the Endodermal Duodenal Mucosa Duodenal cancer (adeno-ca), duodenal polyps1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16). Not being able to digest something. Examples ➜ Aggravation with family members, fellow workers, friends. ➜ A woman must care for her mother day and night. She cannot enjoy the retirement she had been looking forward to for a long time. Conflict-active Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing adeno-ca of absorptive quality. Usually a recurring conflict. Bio. function With more intestinal cells, the lodged chunks (of anger) can be better digested or reabsorbed. Repair phase Tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria). Fever, night sweats, duodenal inflammation or tuberculosis. If mycobacteria are not present: encapsulation of the tumor. Questions First, based on the symptoms, determine if the conflict is active or in the repair phase: If it is active or recurring: Diagnosed when? (Conflict probably significantly earlier). What happened during the time period in question? Which stress situations were there? Which chunk was I unable to digest? What put pressure on me? Which situations act as triggers for me? Which events related to this can I remember from my childhood? Is there further conditioning: pregnancy, parents’/ancestors’ experiences? Therapy Identify the conflict or triggers and, if possible, resolve them if they are still active. Guiding principles: “I will make peace with myself and my family.“ “Whatever has happened certainly had a purpose.“ Possibly surgery, better sooner than later. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 209. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 22 Duodenal bleeding, tarry stool Possible causes • Duodenal ulcer - Repair phase: the healing duodenal ulcers bleed. Pain and heavy bleeding in the repair phase crisis. Tarry stool. • Adeno-ca - Repair phase: tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria). Fever, night sweats, bleeding. Pain and severe bleeding in the repair phase crisis. Note Blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants) aggravate the bleeding. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. With severe bleeding, monitor the blood count > possibly limited transfusions, see also p. 203. Meckel‘s diverticulum (bulge in the small intestine) This diverticulum is considered a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct or yolk sac and thus, it is unclear as to whether it has a conflict cause. E N D O 229 Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum SMALL INTESTINE - JEJUNUM AND ILEUM The jejunum and the ileum together are about 3-5 m (10-17 ft) long. They follow the duodenum and together, the three sections form the small intestine. The many folds, villi, and their threadlike cell extensions (microvilli) form a gigantic, metabolically active surface of about 60 m2 (> 600 sq ft). The jejunum and ileum are exclusively composed of endodermal tissue. Note: Poisoning (antibiotics, etc.) may disrupt untold functions in the small intestine and contribute to many of the SBSs listed here. SBS of the Small Intestine Mucosa Cancer of the small intestine (adeno-ca), polyps of the small intestine, tumorous thickening of the intestinal wall1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to digest something, often with a starvation aspect. Indigestible-anger. A project or something in which one has invested doesn’t deliver the hoped for use/profit. “One leaves empty-handed.” “One has nothing to show for it.” “One feels that fate is laughing at them.” Examples ➜ A baby is weaned too suddenly. It believes it will starve since the baby food is unacceptable. a A 40-year-old, head secretary unexpectedly finds herself in a very unpleasant situation: She has to tell her boss that a coworker has divulged an important company secret. Afterward, she must face her colleague, as a “whistle-blower“ = indigestible-anger conflict. Two days later, she seeks a clarifying discussion with the colleague = partial resolution of the conflict. However, she has to think of this unpleasant situation every time she sees her = trigger. Since then, the patient suffers from diarrhea and mild night sweats = persistent repair. Through a second conversation with her colleague, she can finally resolve the conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a As the result of a stroke, a man is incapable of speaking. He cannot get used to the situation. He was a charismatic person, who was always at the center of things and everyone asked for his advice. Suddenly, he cannot say a word = indigestible-anger conflict > growth of a tumor in the active-phase - according to CM, a “malignant cancer of the intestine.“ (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer Charts pp. 22, 27 Small Intestine Mucosa Not being able to digest something, often with a starvation aspect E N D O 230 Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing adeno-ca of absorptive quality. The cauliflower-like tumor can cause intestinal obstruction (ileus). Repair phase Tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria). Fever, night sweats, bleeding, diarrhea, possibly with vomiting if the tumor is situated in the small intestine. If mycobacteria are not present: encapsulation of the tumor. Repair crisis Chills, heavy bleeding, intestinal spasms, colic due to involvement of the intestinal muscles. Bio. function Cell proliferation of secretory quality in order to produce more digestive juices to digest the lodged chunk more quickly. Cell proliferation of absorptive quality in order to better absorb the chunk (more efficient use of food). Questions First, based on the symptoms described, determine if the conflict is active or has been resolved (period without symptoms = active phase. Night sweats, pain, colics = repair phase. If these have lasted for longer than a half a year = recurring conflict. Diagnosed when? (Conflict probably long before this). What can’t I digest/accept? Did I draw the short straw? Starvation situation? (Diagnosis shock, sympathy with someone dying, bankruptcy, theft, emergency situation)? Why did I react so sensitively? Who in the family has had something similar happen? (Research family history). Which beliefs are in the background of the conflict? (E.g., ”Those who have nothing have lost.”) Can I trust myself to leave the old behind me? Which new attitude would have a healing effect? Things that could hinder repair: Are there any advantages in having the disease that I am holding on to? (“Everyone does everything for me now.”) Am I ready to take on the responsibility (with all its consequences)? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Guiding principles: “I am at peace with those closest to me and everyone else.“ “We have enough to eat. I am well taken care of.“ Surgery when the passage is obstructed or the polyp or tumor is too large. Better earlier than later, because today, small tumors are diagnosed as “benign“ by CM. > This means less stress for the person concerned. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. Acute enteritis (inflammation of the small intestine), bleeding - melena (tarry stool) Same SBS as above (see pp. 229). Phase Repair phase or repair phase crisis. Tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acidresistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria). Fever, night sweats, blood in (tarry) stool, usually diarrhea. Caution: blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants) increases the bleeding. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and avoid recurrences. For very heavy bleeding, monitoring via hemogram (blood count) > if necessary, administer transfusions, OP. Schuessler Cell Salt: No. 13. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. Gluten intolerance (celiac disease), lactose intolerance (lactose malabsorption) SBS same as above (see pp. 229). Phase Persistent repair. Conflict-triggers gluten or lactose. By long-term degradation and degeneration of the intestinal villi > disrupted uptake of nourishment, causing chronic digestive problems, usually diarrhea, possibly nutritional deficiencies. Example a A six-year-old boy is sent on a six-week convalescence 400 miles from his parents. The, now, 49-year-old man describes the first two weeks there as “hell.“ The boy is forced to drink milk against his will. Due to this, he partly refuses to eat = conflict of not being able to digest something, indigestible-anger conflict with an aspect of starvation. Trigger = drinking milk. At home, he normally never drinks milk. For 43 years, the patient has suffered from diarrhea whenever he has consumed milk or milk products unknowingly = recurring conflict due to a milk trigger. When he becomes familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and understands the connection, the conflict is immediately resolved. Since then, the patient can drink a lot of milk without problems. (See www.germanischeheilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte) Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life,so that the persistent repair can come to an end. If no resolution is possible, avoid the offending food (diet). E N D O 231 Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum “Tromboembolism“ (intestinal infarct) Same SBS as above, (see pp. 229). According to CM theory, this is the blockage of a blood vessel, which leads to an intestinal infarction. Actually, our blood vessels have a net-like structure and everywhere in the body, there are parallel (collateral) vessels that guarantee the blood supply at all times. These symptoms are probably misinterpreted by CM. However, if a thrombus (clot) is actually found in the angiography, there is probably a tendency toward thromboses in the patient. An indication of this would be thromboses already having been diagnosed at earlier points in time. Phase In the case of an intestinal SBS: repair phase crisis in the context of a repair phase, thus bleeding. Severe edema by syndrome. If it is a blood SBS, see p. 158). Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and avoid recurrences! In the case of severe bleeding, monitor the blood count, if necessary, blood transfusions and/or surgery. “Fungal infections“ (mycoses) of the intestines (e.g., Candida albicans, aspergillus) Same SBS as above, (see pp. 229). Phase Repair phase. Degradation of an adeno-ca via fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria). Flat-growing tumors are not recognized as such in CM because they are spread out widely. Note Fungi belong to the flora of a healthy human being. In intestinal repair phases, one finds even more of them - if they are verified with a stool analysis, they are called “fungal infections“ in CM. Through the ingestion of sugar, the fungal population is also increased without conflict. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and avoid recurrences. Colloidal silver. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. “Bacterial infections,“ bacterial intestinal dysentery: typhus or paratyphus bacteria (without salmonella), cholera, Escherichia coli bacteria, campylobacter coli bacteria In the case of a conflict: same SBS as described on pp. 229. Drinking dirty water, such as water that is contaminated with feces, does not mean getting infected but rather getting poisoned - the body‘s prompt response is one of expulsion: diarrhea, vomiting, sweating. In principle, poisoning does not fall into the area of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. Phase Repair phase. The difference between poisoning and conflict is often unclear. However, even poisoning isn’t a random event from a cosmic perspective. Everything in life has a reason and a purpose. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and mitigate any conflicts caused by the poisoning. Colloidal silver, MMS. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. “Viral infections“ of the intestines: ECHO virus, Coxsackievirus, adenoviruses, rotavirus, Norwalk virus, parvovirus Same SBS as above, (see pp. 229). In CM, the causes of most illnesses are unknown; therefore, pathogens have simply been invented. To this day, not a single virus has been conclusively proven. Phase Repair phase Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase and avoid recurrences. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. Amoebic dysentery and worm diseases, e.g., bilharziosis (schistosomiasis) At the University of Iowa, there was great success in the treatment of Crohn‘s disease patients with whipworms. It is possible that worms aid tubercle bacilli during repair phases in the degradation of excess intestinal mucosa. Regardless, doctors at the University of Iowa determined that bacterial flora improves under the influence of worms. Do amorphous creatures (tape, round, and pinworms) have a specific task - a biological purpose? Is it possible that an “attack“ by worms is no coincidence, and that it may even be beneficial? Does it only affect people who need it? My experience would lead me to say yes. E N D O 232 Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum Conflict Morsel conflict, getting too little love or not being able to accept love. (Food is the energy of life in its material form). Conflict active Worms are not microorganisms/microbes, but are parasites that can live in the human body. In my experience, worms, unlike microbes, appear during the conflict-active phase or during persistent conflicts. In principle, they can only settle somewhere if the terrain is suitable. (Bechamp: “The microbe is nothing; the terrain is everything.”) Symptoms: Anal itching or burning, abdominal pain, abnormal stool, general symptoms such as fatigue, problems concentrating. Bio function Intestinal worms probably metabolize components in food that would otherwise remain undigested. Repair/healing With conflict resolution/internal balance, the intestines can once again manage their tasks entirely on their own > the parasites become superfluous and disappear because the terrain is no longer suitable. Examples a Case example of my own cat: 10 years ago our neighbor was looking for homes for a litter of cats. We decided to delight our old cat “Vicki” with a kitten – we named her “Babsi.” Unfortunately, Vicki was mercilessly dominant towards Babsi – the two never became friends. At the age of three, Babsi started to excrete worm segments (probably a tapeworm) almost daily. The repeated administration of deworming drugs didn’t help – within two weeks the worms were already back. Since that didn’t help, we didn’t want to torture Babsi with any more chemicals, so we let the worms be worms. Four years ago, Vicki died and we noticed how Babsi came into her own: With her raised tail, she confidently roams through the gardens and the woods. Inside, she doesn’t have to worry about being chased away from her favorite places. She developed a much friendlier nature because she feels good all around (= healing phase or normotonia). Ever since Vicki died, Babsi is wormfree, even though she still eats a lot of mice. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 4-year-old girl of a farming family passed an approx. 15 cm (6 in) long and 5 mm (1/4 in) thick, earthworm-like roundworm one day. In the months leading up to this – nobody suspected that she had guests in her intestines – the little girl had only occasionally complained of a burning sensation and her stools had also been unusually light-colored and malodorous (= active phase). Two weeks before the worm was passed, her stools became normal again (= indication of intestinal regeneration). The last six weeks before she passed the worm had been exceptionally beautiful for the whole family: The Corona-lockdown had provided some time for a quiet, simple and somehow fulfilling family-life experience. They were all doing really well: The mother related that a vaginal mycosis she had for years went away, their 2-year-old daughter got over a chronic case of croup, and our little patient was rid of her intestinal-anal worm complaints (= big family healing phase). Summary: The conflict, that the little one wasn’t getting enough love – perhaps due to the parents’ increased attention to her younger sister who was always coughing – was resolved. > The worm was no longer satisfied with the terrain and it moved on. The parents are familiar with the New Medicine and, after their child experienced a brief shock, they decided not to go to the doctor. Afterward, the little one was better than ever. (Archive B. Eybl) Questions First symptoms when? (The conflict can be found beforehand) What stressed me at this time? Which new issue arose in my life? Children: What changed in the life of the family/in the parents’ relationship? Did another sibling arrive on the scene? Did mommy have to go to work? Does the child have a feeling of not getting enough love/affection, enough attention? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and belief structures. Strengthen the intestines, optimize nutrition, see remedies for the colon p. 244. If nothing helps, possibly CM worm remedies (antihelmintics). E N D O 233 Small Intestine - Jejunum and Ileum Constipation, diarrhea, intussusception (one segment folding into another - invagination), twisting around itself (volvulus) In cases where there is no poisoning with medication (e.g., with morphine): Conflict Motor chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to move something further (in real life or figuratively). Something does not come through. Topic standstill, stagnation or too many tasks simultaneously. Constipation: Something/a matter is not yet completely digested (awaiting a solution/resolution) or one wants to hold something back. Example ➜“It won’t budge.” “I can’t keep things moving forward.“ “Not that too!” a The 33-year-old son of a 70-year-old farmer still does not know if he wants to take over the farm. The farmer (our patient) postpones any decisions - the operation and the family are stagnating. = Conflict that nothing can be moved forward. Since this situation has come to a stand-still the farmer suffers from constipation and always has to burp. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 45-year-old construction foreman has to be at multiple construction sites at the same time he has “too many irons in the fire.” On these days, he has to loosen his belt because his belly gets so fat. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased tension in the longitudinal, intestinal muscle > limitation of the peristalsis, tense, swollen abdomen, stomach ache, constipation/diarrhea (see also: p 207ff). If nothing is happening or too much is happening at once, it is often accompanied by inner anxiety, restlessness or turmoil. Repair crisis Colic, sudden onset of diarrhea, pain or also the desire to be able to defecate. Repair phase Increased tension in the transverse muscles. Stomach back to normal, constipation/diarrhea. Invagination In this disease, a part of the intestine pushes into another. A segment remains in sympatheticotonia (extension), the other in parasympatheticotonia (narrowing). In healthy peristaltic contraction, waves flow through the whole intestine (longitudinal waves and transverse waves). The phase is unclear. OP if necessary. • A young woman has a job as a pedicurist. Unfortunately, her hard work is not recognized by her boss. Often, she is paid late, which leads to disputes. = Conflict that things aren’t moving forward professionally. At this time, she suffers an acute intestinal obstruction due to an intussusception, which isn’t recognized immediately. The affected section of the intestine is removed surgically. (Archive B. Eybl). Volvulus Slackening of the involuntary intestinal musculature and subsequent twisting of the intestine around its own axis > danger of intestinal occlusion or demise of the intestinal tissue (intestinal gangrene) caused by the blockage. OP if necessary. Questions Where am I stagnating? What isn’t fully digested? What don’t I want to give up? Why? Conditioning? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. See also: remedies for the colon p. 244. SBS of the Intestinal Muscles Smooth, Longitudinal Intestinal Muscle1 (sympathetically innervated) Motor conflict, not being able to move a chunk further 1 Master pattern for the involuntary (smooth), longitudinal muscle in the body Smooth, Transverse Intestinal Muscle2 (parasympathetically innervated)1 Motor conflict, not being able to move a chunk further 2 Master pattern for the circular involuntary (smooth) muscle in the body. E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown 234 CECUM AND APPENDIX The 9 cm (3 in) long appendix (cecal) is the blind-ended tube at the beginning of the large intestine (cecum). Its important function has not yet been discovered by CM and for this reason, up until recent years, many happily consented to having their appendix removed. (An ideal practice operation for young surgeons). In the animal kingdom, herbivores have an extra-long appendix. This is where otherwise indigestible elements of their food (cellulose) are unlocked with the help of special bacteria. Furthermore, this part of the intestine is a refuge/reserve storage for the intestinal bacteria in cases of diarrhea/poisoning. (Comparable to a sidearm of a river, which provides refuge for fish during floods and from where they can school out afterward). SBS of the Appendix Mucosa Acute inflammation of the cecum, appendix (appendicitis), ruptured appendix Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16) of dipping into the reserves - one must suddenly do with less. The reserves/resources are in danger, the savings are gone. Explanation In the modern world, money is our most important reserve, so this conflict is usually about money. If a child is affected, the conflict comes from the parents (substitution conflict) or the child has experienced it themselves (e.g. a friend abandons them, they lose a toy or pocket money). Examples ➜ A child’s spending money is cut off or something is taken away. “My reserves are gone.” a A businessman trusts his cousin and integrates him into upper management. The cousin deceives him outrageously. Their dispute causes him great financial damage = Chunk conflict with regard to monetary reserves > growth of a tumor in the active-phase. When the patient cuts all contact with his cousin, an acute appendicitis is diagnosed = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function, cell division in the endodermal appendix or mucous membrane. Bio. function Increase in the mucosa reserves to make room for more bacteria (more reserves). Repair phase Appendicitis, fever, night sweats, possible blood in the stool. Tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria) or encapsulation. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain, colic. Note Relapses can cause chronic appendicitis, possibly with mucus collection (mucocele). In the repair phase, the extension of the appendix can also burst = “ruptured appendix.“ Nature is prepared for this case: the omentum spreads out over the perforation, thereby preventing the contents of the colon from getting into abdominal cavity. The inflammation is then limited to the immediate vicinity. With that said, an OP is nevertheless the sensible option for minimizing the risk in the case of a rupture. Questions Sudden pain? Yes > sudden conflict resolution. Pain came on gradually? Yes > drawn-out conflict resolution. Pain for a long time (over a half a year)? Yes > persistent conflict. Which positive event brought about the repair phase? (Which stress was there in relation to money before the repair phase? Did I feel like I was in danger, because the circumstances got so bad? (Extraordinary bills to pay, lost job, home, benefits)? Did I doubt that I was going to be able to make ends meed financially? In the case of a child: Is it experiencing a substitution conflict (look for it with the parents) or is it experiencing its own bottleneck? (Toy, spending money, no room of their own anymore)? Which conditioning has led me to this conflict? (Childhood, parental stress during the pregnancy, family tragedy)? Which new attitude could help me avoid recurrences? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing and avoid recurrences. If needed, antibiotics. In case of rupture, consider surgery. See also: remedies for the colon p. 244. E N D O Cecum and Appendix 235 Large Intestine Colon Mucosa Indigestible-anger Sigmoid Colon Mucosa (not pictured) Indigestible-anger, not being able to eliminate something LARGE INTESTINE: ASCENDING, TRANSVERSE & DESCENDING The large intestine (colon) has a diameter of about 6 cm (2 in) and is about 1.5 m (5 ft) long. Unlike the small intestine, the colon has no villi. Nutritional elements and fluid are removed from the food pulp here. SBS of the Colon Mucosa Colon cancer, polyps1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16): indigestible-anger. A situation that is ugly and hard to deal with. Examples ➜ Something unpleasant, not being able to get rid of “crap.” ➜ Not being able to cope with something vile, devious or mean. a For many years, a man has been a founding member of an organization. A huge argument breaks out among the members because the man who owns the restaurant where they meet no longer wants the meetings to be held there. > Indigestible-anger. A few weeks later, the patient is diagnosed with colon cancer = active-phase. The tumor is surgically removed. Afterwards, he learns about the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 43-year-old, married, department head uses a friendly approach with her colleagues. Four years ago, a new colleague joins the team. From the very beginning, she works against the department leader. A month ago, she learns that this colleague has been maligning her in the company behind her back. = Indigestible-anger conflict and an “attack-to-the-abdomen” conflict. A month later, the patient speaks of the matter, choosing two close colleagues and a girlfriend to confide in. She starts to feel better during the conversation = conflict resolution. Then, at night, she suffers an intestinal colic (= repair phase crisis) with a hard, swollen abdomen and sweating. It’s so bad that she calls an ambulance. In the hospital, she is diagnosed with an inflammation of the colon and a thickening of the intestinal wall (= flat-growing tumor of absorptive quality). In addition to this, fluid has accumulated in the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity (ascites) and her blood sedimentation levels are high (indication of inflammation), which according to CM “cannot possibly come from the intestines alone“ = peritonitis - resolved attack conflict. After a few days, everything is all right again. (Archive B. Eybl) • An athletic, 50-year-old entrepreneur has a construction company and his business is booming. Suddenly, this good fortune abandons him: A major customer goes bankrupt and he loses a lot of money. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 28 Appendix Mucosa (not pictured) Chunk conflict of the reserves being in danger E N D O 236 Shortly thereafter, another customer refuses to pay 20% of the agreed fee. = Indigestible-anger conflict. Since then, problems with business partners are always a trigger for him. The result is a chronic inflammation of the colon (ulcerative colitis). After retirement, the disease heals almost completely. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function. Growth of a cauliflower-like adeno-ca of secretory quality with a conflict aspect of not being able to digest something or a flat-growing adeno-ca = “tumorous thickening of the intestinal wall“ of absorptive quality with a conflict aspect of not being able to accept something. Bio. function With more cells in the colon, better ability to digest or absorb the lodged chunk of anger. Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria), Fever, night sweats, colitis, ulcerous colitis. If bacteria not present: encapsulation. Bright-red blood and mucus in stool, diarrhea. Repair crisis Chills, heavy bleeding, and colicky pain. Questions First, determine if it is an active or a resolved conflict. (Questions about the symptoms, look at the inflammation levels in the blood). Estimate the length of the conflict based on the size. What was I unable to digest over the period in question? What has been pressuring me for a long time? What issue is hard for me to talk about (isolation)? What “crap” would I like to be rid of? Which conditioning is in the background of the conflict? Which new attitude and which external changes would heal me? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Guiding principles: “Nobody profits from anger.“ “Everything has a purpose and I can only learn from this.“ Surgery if the passage is obstructed or the polyp/tumor is too large. If you are going to have an OP, earlier is better than later, because small tumors are often diagnosed as “benign” by CM today CM. > I.e., less stress for the person concerned. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. Intestinal obstruction (ileus) This diagnosis can mean an obstruction due to a tumor or paralysis of the intestinal musculature (paralytic ileus). See SBS of the intestinal muscles p. 233. With paralytic ileus, no tumor is found during a colonoscopy. If a tumor is the cause: same SBS as above (see above). Phase Conflict-active: an intestinal occlusion occurs when the tumor is too big or often at the beginning of the repair phase due to the inflammation-swelling of the tumor. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Questions: see p. 236. Surgery if necessary. Chronic inflammation of the intestines (Crohn‘s disease, colitis ulcerosa)2 Same SBS as above. (See pp. 235.) In CM, the difference between Crohn‘s disease and colitis ulcerosa is vague; the differentiation is also unnecessary. If the small intestine is also affected, a starvation conflict is also underway (see p. 196). Examples a A man is constantly angry and arguing with his wife = indigestible-anger. He would have separated from her long ago if it were not for their house, which he would lose in a divorce. The conflict has been growing now for two decades = recurring-conflict. The patient suffers from a severe case of Crohn‘s disease. (Archive B. Eybl) a The schoolboy feels he is being treated unfairly by his teacher. He thinks that she always grades him worse than he deserves. Diagnosis: Crohn‘s disease due to recurrences. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Chronic-recurring process. Active-phases alternate with repair phases. Flat-growing adeno-ca of resorptive quality, sometimes polyps as well (secretory quality). Blood, mucus in the stool. Diarrhea, constipation, and night sweats. Therapy Determine the conflict and triggers and, if possible, resolve them in real life, so that the SBS comes to an end. Questions: see above. Guiding principles: see above. Good chances of recovery, even with longstanding cases. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. Questions: see p. 236. The CM therapy with cortisone, immunosuppressants, and anti-TNF agents is not recommended over a prolonged period. 2 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 28 E N D O Large Intestine 237 Large Intestine LARGE INTESTINE - SIGMOID COLON The S-shaped, sigmoid section of the colon collects the indigestible remainder of what we eat from the descending part of the colon. Here, this content is further thickened by fluid removal and is “portioned.” SBS of the Sigmoid Colon Mucosa E N D O Cancer of the sigmoid colon, polyps1 Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16): indigestible-anger. Cannot eliminate (get rid of) something indigestible/burdensome/aggravating. E.g., denunciations, treason, bullying, insults. Examples ➜ Not being able to get rid of unpleasantness, “crap“ (e.g. accusations). ➜ Not being able to tolerate “underhanded” behavior. a The marriage of a 54-year-old female patient is very chaotic. The couple has just moved into a new apartment. During the move, the husband - completely unexpectedly - announces that he is not moving in with her. He starts removing his things again. Later, as he asks for their marriage certificate in order to file for divorce, they have a terrible argument. = Indigestible-anger conflict. A cauliflower-like tumor that is several centimeters wide develops during the active-phase and is discovered during a physical examination 7 years later. It doesn‘t cause any problems. Nevertheless, the patient submits to chemotherapy. (Archive B. Eybl) a A young entrepreneur does not receive payment from an important client for a completed order. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch Bd. 2, p. 184) a A man has been employed by a company for 15 years. He has a quarrel with a colleague. The 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 28 Sigmoid Colon Mucosa (not pictured) Indigestible-anger, not being able to eliminate something 238 Large Intestine boss takes the side of the colleague, which bitterly disappoints the patient. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function. Growth of a cauliflower-like tumor adeno-ca of secretory quality or a flat-growing adeno-ca (tumorous thickening of the intestinal wall) of absorptive quality. Usually a recurring conflict. Bio. function With more colon cells, the body is better able to “digest or absorb the anger.“ Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acidresistant fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria), fever, night sweats = inflammation of the sigmoid colon. Bright-red blood and mucus in the stool, diarrhea. Encapsulation of the tumor if no bacteria present. Repair crisis Chills, severe colicky pain and heavy bleeding, diarrhea. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and resolve them in real life if still active. Questions: see p. 236. Guiding principles: “This situation has taken place so I can learn something from it.“ “I have brought it upon myself through my own thoughts and actions. I accept everything as it is and with God‘s help, I‘ll make the best of it.“ See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. According to my experience, polyp surgery is advised, because you do not know if they will continue to grow. In CM today, polyps that are about 3 cm (1 in) in diameter are referred to as “colorectal cancer“ - with all its consequences. Diverticulitis (colonic diverticula - inflammation of pouches in the colon) Figuratively speaking, diverticula are the opposite of polyps: Outward-hanging bowel pockets, often located in the sigmoid colon. Conflict Morsel conflict, that you can’t fill up your pockets/you don’t have enough supplies. Feeling of a material shortage (of food, money, possessions). Examples a A 75-year-old man has saved money his whole life while supporting his wife and child on a modest salary. He augments his meager pension with a part-time job. His daughter is his pride and joy. She is his only child and she has earned the opportunity to study medicine. = Conflict of not having enough savings – growth of a diverticula in his sigmoid colon. When his daughter successfully completes her medical exams, his major life conflict is resolved: One day after the joyful news, he developed severe intestinal pain – the diverticula became seriously inflamed and it ruptured. Note: Without immediate surgery, the patient would have died – this is the result of much too much conflict activity/mass. (Archive B. Eybl) a A sales representative wants nothing more than to keep up with his circle of friends by owning a great car, fancy clothes etc. Through a complete reorientation of his priorities, his complaints from chronic diverticulitis completely disappear. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Chronic conflict: The intestine forms bulges (diverticula) which become larger and more numerous the longer the conflict lasts. Healing events lead to acute complaints (= diverticulitis). If diverticula occur more frequently in families, it is a family issue. Bio function The intestine forms pockets to store the “valuable morsels.” Questions When did the intestinal issues begin? (Conflict beforehand) Was I in financial trouble? Did I put myself under pressure because of this? In which life-phases/on which days are the symptoms better? When are they worse? (Indication of the conflict) Do parents/ancestors also have diverticula/ intestinal symptoms? (Indication of a substitution conflict) Which unresolved ancestral issue am I carrying? (Ask about their life story and look for parallels – this is often where a deeper cause can be found) Which new attitude and which external changes would heal me? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and belief structures. When nothing helps, surgery as necessary. See also: remedies for the colon, p. 244. E N D O 239 Rectum - Anus Internal Anal Sphincter (smooth muscle) Not being able to hold back/eliminate the feces Deep-lying Rectal and Anal Mucosa (endodermal) Indigestible-anger, not being able to eliminate something Superficial Rectal and Anal Mucosa (extodermal) Identity conflict External Anal Sphincter (striated muscle) Identity conflict RECTUM - ANUS In human beings, the rectum, including the anus, is about 15-30 cm (6-12 in) long. The last four centimeters (1.5 in) are considered the anus. This serves as a temporary storage area for feces. What is special about this last section of the intestine is that the old intestinal mucosa - from outside the body to about 12 cm into the rectum - is overgrown by ectodermal squamous epithelium. Thus, we find both superficial ectodermal and sub-endodermal tissue with two differing conflict contents. SBS of the Rectum Submucosa Rectal cancer (adeno-ca) Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16): indigestible-anger, not being able to get rid of something unpleasant, “crap.” Examples ➜ Somebody is unjustly accused or put at a terrible disadvantage. ➜ Somebody is betrayed by a friend. a The patient‘s son has taken up with a bad crowd. Together with his friends, he ends up in court. The patient is sure that her son has been caught in a trap and that is why he is being prosecuted = indigestible-anger > growth of a rectal cancer in the active-phase. Half a year later, this is diagnosed by CM. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased function, growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality by a conflict aspect of not being able to get rid of something or a flat-growing adeno-ca of absorptive quality, through a conflict aspect of not being able to assimilate something. Bio. function To better be able to digest or resorb the anger chunk with more intestinal cells. Repair phase Inflammation of the rectum, possibly also diagnosed as “anorectal abscess“ (see below). Tubercular, caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor via acid-resistant fungi and bacteria (mycobacteria), fever, night sweats, bright-red blood and mucus in the stool, diarrhea. If bacteria are not present: encapsulation. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Questions: see p. 236. Guiding principle: “I accept the situation and will resolve it with God‘s help.“ Surgery if tumor is too large. Better earlier than later, because today, small tumors are diagnosed as “benign“ by CM. > Less stress for the person concerned. See also remedies for the rectum/hemorrhoids p. 242. E N D O 240 Rectum - Anus SBS of the Superficial Anal Mucosa Hemorrhoids (superficial, common)1 Conflict Identity conflict - not knowing where one belongs, not knowing which decision to make, not knowing which partner to choose. Often, the conflict has something to do with the mother (mother = identity). Less often, territorial-anger conflict. Examples ➜ A child doesn’t know where it belongs after its parents get divorced. ➜ Doubts as to whether a move/career change was the right decision. a A seven-year-old boy loses his father. After that, his mother has various partners, who treat the boy very badly; they even abuse him = identity conflict. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch Bd. 2, p. 397) a A 69-year-old patient lets himself undergo chemotherapy for cancer of the prostate gland. However, he becomes doubtful as to whether he is doing the right thing. “Should I continue the treatment?“ = identity conflict. (See Dr. Hamer, Celler Dokumentation, p. 61) a A married women falls in love with another man. She doesn‘t know whether she should divorce her husband for the sake of the other man = identity conflict. Cell degradation in the anal epithelium. Restoration with bleeding in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Reduced sensibility of the anal mucosa, simultaneous slackening of the anal sphincter muscles. Later, degradation of epithelium = ulcer; tearing of the anal epithelium (anal fissures) are possible > no pain, no bleeding, numbness. One seeks belonging, wrangles with decisions. Bio. function Widening of the anus to insure better removal of feces. In nature, feces and urine serve to mark territory. The place of defecation defines one‘s living space and the location of the individual. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 129 Hemorrhoids (internal, rare), anorectal abscess1 Same SBS as above. Example a A 46-year-old, right-handed woman sweats for the last four nights. On the toilet, she has pain when she presses and when she wipes herself, she finds blood on the toilet paper. Conflict history: five weeks ago, the patient spoke with her mother-in-law on the phone. During the conversation, they talked about dividing up the inheritance they received from the recently deceased grandmother. (The patient is legally no heiress, but her husband is.) On the phone, the mother-in-law said to her, “Anyway, it only concerns the children.“ With this, the patient assumed that she is not invited to this meeting. On the day before the first symptoms appeared, her mother-in-law comes to visit and is very kind to her = conflict resolution > bleeding removal of the tumor in the following days = repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase: A small tumor usually develops unnoticed under the epithelium layer during the conflict-active phase. It is not noticed until the repair phase, when it breaks open = CM: “hemorrhoids,“ “rectal abscess“ > night sweats, pus, bright-red blood. Usually a recurring-conflict. Note The most important difference between this and the more common, superficial hemorrhoids is the fever and night sweats in the repair phase. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If recurring, find out the conflict and conditioning and resolve them. Questions: see p. 236. See also remedies for the rectum/hemorrhoids p. 242. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 28 E N D O E C T O 241 Rectum - Anus Rectal cramps (sphincter spasms, tenesmus) Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to sufficiently retain the feces. In the figurative sense: One is trying desperately no to bother anyone/not to be intrusive. One always shows great reserve. One would rather sacrifice their territory than become unliked. Example a A woman is in the hospital for a hemorrhoid surgery. She is given an enema to cleanse the colon, and she becomes terribly nauseated. At the last second, she runs to the washbasin where she vomits and at the same time loses control of her bowels: she stands in a puddle of water and excrement. At that very moment, the doctor comes in and tells her to lie down in bed immediately because they want to give her an infusion. Fully soiled, she must lay herself in bed = conflict of not being able to hold back the feces. Since then, the patient suffers from intense rectal spasms. Sixteen years later, at a lecture by Helmut Pilhar, she goes behind the curtain and can resolve the conflict by means of meditation. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte) Conflict-active Increased muscle tension (hypertony), problems with bowel movement. When the stool is hard, it can only be pressed out with extreme effort, because the inner sphincter does not open completely. Bio. function Increased tension so that the feces can be held back. Harder feces stink less. Repair phase Normalization of the muscle tension; in the repair phase crisis: attacks of painful anal cramps. Questions Was there a real situation where I was not allowed to defecate? Was there a time when I experiSBS of the Inner Rectal Sphincter With additional feces, the location can be defined better and the identity is emphasized. Feces-marking takes urine-marking to the next level. Repair phase Restoration of the degraded substance, pain, swelling, bright-red blood = “hemorrhoids,“ aggravated by syndrome. Usually a recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Heavy bleeding, possibly chills; if the voluntary anus muscle is also affected, rectal cramps (see below for 2nd possibility) and painful rectal tenesmus (feeling of having to defecate when one doesn’t). Questions Irritation, bleeding since when? (When it bleeds, the conflict must have been resolved). First time bleeding? (No > also examine the first episodes. Yes > only examine this episode). Which problem did I solve the day before or on the same day? (Good conversation, personal decision, good news, the weekend, vacation)? When this is determined, one automatically knows the conflict. Has the conflict always dealt with certain people or is it about an inner dilemma, having nothing to do with people? (Specify the conflict). What are my earliest experiences with regard to this? (Childhood)? Were my parents also involved in the issue? (> Also, examine the issue in the family and heal through conversation/meditation/forgiveness/prayer). What has conditioned me additionally? Which beliefs nourish this conflict? Am I ready to make a new start? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Guiding principle: “I will make a definite decision. Then, I will know where I belong.“ See also remedies for the rectum/hemorrhoids p. 242. OP if necessary. Fissures of the anal epithelium (anal fissures) Same SBS as above. Phase Conflict-active phase, pain later in the repair phase when the fissures are healing. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. See also remedies for the rectum/hemorrhoids p. 242. E C T O E N D O HFs in the midbrain - topography still unknown 242 Rectum - Anus enced stress during defecation? Am I always reserved? (If yes: to remain well-liked)? Did the mother have to hold her child back during the birth? What are the parents like with regard to letting things out? What still conditions me? (Experiences during childhood). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Transdermal magnesium. Compulsive retention of feces by children Conflict Something must not see the light of day, not come out, must be held back because it is ugly or embarrassing. As almost always with children, a substitution conflict (for parents, ancestors). Or the mother’s conflict during birth/pregnancy: “I must hold the child back, so that it doesn’t come out now.” Example a A 3-year-old girl often suppressed defecation for days, as if defecating was something terrible. The parents tried everything they could think of (poo-poo games, etc.) to no avail. When asked if there is something in the family that shouldn’t come to light, the mother explained that her partner (the father of the child) suffers from a disease that compels him to swear wildly (Tourette syndrome). Understanding this is threatening their marriage, her partner “stifles” these outbursts under great strain. > The child was shouldering her father’s restraint. As the connections became clear and the father’s condition improved, the little one was able to go to the toilet without any trouble. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Conflict activity of the internal anal sphincter muscle > persistent tension. Questions Symptoms since when? What is the child shouldering? (For parents, less often for other ancestors) What family issue isn’t allowed out? What needs to be suppressed/retained? (Taboo issues, something someone is ashamed of, something ugly) Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and belief structures. Transdermal magnesium. Encopresis (paradoxical diarrhea) - voluntary or involuntary fecal soiling By the age of three, children should be toilet trained. If not, the following conflict may come into question: Conflict According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: The child feels neglected and draws attention to itself through the “scent.” It is basically a call for the mother to take care of the child. According to Dr. Sabbah: The child “senses” a poisoning in ancestors (“the poison must be expelled”). Phase Conflict activity of the inner sphincter muscle > constant tension. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Stress at school/family, divorce, fight, disharmony)? Does the child feel neglected? Was/is there a poisoning among ancestors or parents? (Also consider drugs/medications). Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs (of the family). E N D O Remedies for the rectum/hemorrhoids • Tea/hip bath: fenugreek, oak, mullein, horse chestnut leaves, yarrow, plantain. • Cayce: Gymnastic exercise - both arms over the head, lift heels and stretch upwards, then bend forwards with the hands to the ground - in the mornings and evenings for two to three minutes. • Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 1, 11; Kanne Bread Drink. • Colloidal silver internally and externally. • Comfrey or propolis salve - externally. • Zeolite powder . • Magnesium chloride (MgCl2 ) foot bath. 243 Large Intestine Diarrhea Possible causes • Poisoning: Spoiled or contaminated food, side effect of medication, especially antibiotics and psychopharmaceuticals as well as poisoning with the artificial sweetener, aspartame, etc. Diarrhea function = elimination of toxin. • Incorrect diet: Ingesting the wrong combination of foods can promote diarrhea (e.g.: fruit - sugar - grain). • General sympatheticotonia and anticipatory anxiety: = stress diarrhea (CM: diarrhea-dominant irritable bowel). This affects approximately one in five people worldwide. In anticipation of stress (= sympatheticotonia), the involuntary sphincter muscles of the body open: anal and bladder sphincter for “ballast-shedding,“ gastric sphincter for a speedy passage, pupillary sphincter for easier viewing, etc. Gaunt, thin, emaciated people are predominantly sympathicotonic, i.e., they are predominantly under stress. Peace and serenity are missing, little fat can accumulate = athletic or leptosomic people according to Kretschmer. These individuals tend to be “crapping their pants“ at every opportunity. > Loose stools, diarrhea. Example: a 16-year-old student is an amateur ski racer. On the day of the competition, specifically immediately before the start, he must go to the toilet constantly due to the diarrhea. = General sympatheticotonia, anticipatory anxiety. Later in life, he suffers from diarrhea before important appointments as well. (Archive B. Eybl). The opposite is the comfortable endomorph (vagotonic), who is a good eater with tendency toward constipation. • Intestinal muscles: If an indigestible-anger chunk gets lodged in the intestines, two SBSs are usually triggered: An SBS of secretory quality (cauliflower-like tumor), so as to dissolve the chunk with gastric juices and one of motor quality (peristalsis), so as to expel it (conflict of not being able to dislodge something or move it forward). Diarrhea in the repair phase crisis during the repair phase or in persistent repair, e.g., Crohn‘s disease, colitis, ulcerative colitis. (See p. 233.) • Liver - gallbladder: Recurring territorial-anger conflict. This type of diarrhea accompanies fat intolerance. Endodermal liver parenchyma or the ectodermal gallbladder ducts can be affected. Due to a shortage of bile, fat cannot be digested > pulpy, fatty stools that float in the toilet. Territorial-anger or identity conflict - starvation or existence conflict. (See p. 254) • Pancreas (rarer): Recurring-conflict. After many bouts of pancreatitis, the glands that produce pancreatic juices deteriorate. Enzymes for the digestion of proteins, fats and starches are then lacking > pulpy, bright, malodorous stools that float. Conflict: trouble with family members, the battle for the chunk, inheritance conflicts. (See p. 263.) • Thyroid (rarer): the thyroid hormone thyroxin makes the body sympathicotonic. It increases metabolism and promotes the emptying of the bowels. Diarrhea in the conflict-active phase. Conflict: not being able to grasp or get rid of something, because one is too slow. (See p. 141). Therapy for diarrhea Depending on the cause: • Centering exercises such as tai chi or strength training • Foods: blueberries, barley, oats, honey • Tea: elecampane, blackberry (dried fruits leaves), oak bark, chamomile, bistort, plantain. • Zeolite powder internally, possibly Tannalbin tablets. Bloating, flatulence Every digestive process results in the production of intestinal gas. However, most of it diffuses into the circulatory system and is expelled through the lungs. Flatulence denotes an excess of intestinal gas exceeding 0.5 to 1.5 liters per day. Possible causes • Improper nutrition: A high percentage of high-fiber foods or an unfavorable combination of foods (e.g., fruit - sugar - grain) can promote flatulence. Legumes (with the sugar molecules rhamnose and stachyose) cause a definite rise in gas production. • Poisoning due to antibiotics and other chemo-therapeutics: damage of the intestinal flora > incomplete digestion > fermentation > flatulence. • General sympathicotonia: Gas in combination with diarrhea: signs of a general sympathicotonia (see p. 13). The passage of food is accelerated > incomplete digestion, incomplete air resorption. • Impaired functioning of the small intestine or colon: Not enough air-resorption due to degeneration of the intestinal mucosa (low resorption capacity). According to Dr. Hamer, intestinal gases help to expand the intestine so that a lodged chunk can be moved onward. Histamine or lactose intolerance can cause strong flatulence, sometimes together with diarrhea. = Indigestible-anger (see pp 229). • Pancreas or liver: Too little pancreatic juices or bile > incomplete digestion > fermentation > flatulence = anger conflict with family members, the battle for the chunk, inheritance or starvation-existence and territorial-anger or identity conflict respectively. Therapy for flatulence Depending on the cause (e.g., diet change). • Movement/gymnastics • Deep breathing, so that the gases can be released. • Hot, full baths, possibly with whole salt or magnesium chloride. • Tea: anise, fennel, melissa, parsley, linden blossoms • Hildegard of Bingen: bay leaf cookie powder special recipe • Build-up of symbionts with OMNi-BiOTiC®, • Symbioflor 2, EM. • Swallow 1 tsp. whole mustard seeds with water regiment. • Zeolite powder internally. 244 Constipation Possible causes • Poisoning with medication: Misuse of laxatives, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, antacids, iron preparations, diuretics, blood pressure medication, anti-Parkinson‘s disease medication, antiepileptic drugs, medications for bladder incontinence and morphine (paralyzes the colon due to a permanent contraction of the longitudinal muscles in the intestines). • Diets that are low in fiber, low in vital substances (cheap, industrial foods). • Active kidney collecting tubules: Water is collected for when one is on the run (i.e., on a trip) or feels abandoned, so that a shortage of fluids can be survived. The colon thoroughly removes water from the food pulp or feces > hard stool, tendency to constipation. = Refugee and abandonment conflicts. (See p. 266) • Too little exercise: A well-functioning intestinal peristaltic is dependent on sufficient exercise. This is not just based on the mechanism of the colon itself; rather, it is linked to the 11th brain nerve (nervus accessorius). Lack of exercise > neglected breathing > under-functioning of the diaphragm (as a muscle aiding digestion). • General vagotonia: During general parasympatheticotonia, it is common for all of the sphincter muscles of the body, including that of the anus, to be closed tight. (See p. 13) Feces is only reluctantly released. People who are primarily vagotonic tend to be constipated. These corpulent, rotund, comfortable endomorphs (according to Kretschmer) are excellent eaters. Food (like life) is enjoyed and digested at leisure. Therapy: look for challenges. • Intestinal musculature: Constipation in the conflict-active stage (see p. 233): 1. Nothing can help (moving forward) (stagnation). 2. Something is not yet finished, something takes forever and is waiting to be finished. 3. The fear of leaving the old (e.g., traditions, values, home) behind. Often in combination with indigestible-anger. • Thyroid: persistent repair, condition following persistent repair. Too little of the thyroid hormone thyroxin results in a lack of drive and slow metabolism > sluggish colon = conflict of not being able to grasp or expel something because of being too slow. (See p. 144.) • Parathyroid gland: Conflict-active phase of a persistent conflict. An overly high parathyroid hormone level can cause constipation. (See p. 143.) • Ileus (blockage) by a tumor or twisted intestine (volvulus). Conflict-active phase or repair phase. Acute constipation, possibly with pain, vomiting of feces = indigestible-anger conflict (see above) Therapy for constipation Depending on the cause: • Physical exercise/sport in order to stimulate the colon. Especially effective: endurance running and after that, gymnastics. • Making a sharp distinction between resting and active-phases, so that both sympathicus and vagus come to fruition. For example, first exercise and then be really lazy. • Regular massage of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle. These two muscles are innervated by the 11th brain nerve and correspond directly to the intestinal muscles. • In the morning, drink lots of pure water. • Foods: raw fruits and vegetables, flaxseed, dried fruits, figs, apples, garlic, onions, raw sauerkraut, raw red beets, lettuce. • Breathing exercises. • Tea: agrimony, centaury, vermouth, absinthe, common polypody, St. John‘s wort. • Improve the intestinal flora: OMNi-BiOTiC®, Symbioflor 2, EM, Kanne Bread Drink. • Enemas/colon cleansing therapy for purging and colon reboot. Such treatments should not activate/trigger conflict, otherwise, don‘t do them! Be cautious, especially with children (invasion of privacy can cause conflicts). Remedies for the colon • For acute inflammation: colloidal silver, MMS • Do not take unnecessary medications! • Tea: centaury, agrimony, fennel, peppermint, yarrow, and others. • Chew food thoroughly - enjoy your food! • For symbionts: OMNi-BiOTiC®, EM, Symbioflor 2, kombucha, yogurt, Kanne Bread Drink. • Cayce: Eat an almond every day, colon cleansing (water colon cleansing), and enemas for detoxification. • Hildegard of Bingen: Season with fennel seeds, peppermint. Gentian-powder wine special recipe, absinthe elixir special recipe, sanicle (Sanicula europaea) powder- or elixir special recipe. • Castor oil compress treatments. • Warm abdominal compresses with salt water • Fasting - the oldest therapy for digestive disturbances. When fasting, we should follow our instincts and feelings, like when animals refuse to eat. Fasting under pressure or coercion triggers new conflicts and new illnesses. • Willfort: Three-week health cure of drinking 0.5-1 l (16-32 oz) of freshly-squeezed white cabbage juice, distributed throughout the day. • Zeolite powder, natural borax, internally. • Treatment: Swallow mustard seed without chewing + medicinal clay + water. Linseed oil. • Squatting position on the toilet: When squatting, the sphincter muscles relax and the rectum assumes a straightened position > Feces can be released without effort and pressing. > Use a footstool to elevate feet/legs. Large Intestine 245 Diaphragm Sleep apnea, diaphragm cramps Conflict 1. Conflict of being overwhelmed: With this conflict, the diaphragm is functionally coupled with the heart muscle, i.e., the diaphragm reacts along with the heart (see p. 150). 2. Conflict for the diaphragm alone: not getting enough air, not being able to breathe and not being able to press out air, this also in a figurative sense: “It took my breath away.“ “It knocked the wind out of me.“ “I need to take a deep breath now.“ “I can’t breathe.” Examples: a A four-year-old boy falls from a bench while playing. Shocked, he begins to cry = conflict of not getting enough air. Throughout the following night and day, the patient comes into healing. As he is sleeping on the sofa, his parents notice he is turning blue = cessation of breathing due to a repair phase crisis of the diaphragm - diaphragm cramp. His left leg twitches and his whole body cramps up = repair phase crisis of a motor conflict due to falling from a bench. The next day, everything is all right again. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte) a A 53-year-old, right-handed patient, a kindergarten teacher, is married for the second time and has two children, aged 33 and 31. For 25 years, she has suffered from an unusual symptom, CM SBS of the Diaphragm Muscles E C T O DIAPHRAGM The diaphragm is a 3-5 mm thick, dome-shaped sheet of striated muscle separating the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Although the diaphragm is made up of purely voluntary (striated) muscle, it also receives impulses from the brainstem for the involuntary functioning of breathing and blood circulation (similar to the heart’s ventricles). Functions of the diaphragm: • As a breathing assistant, the diaphragm usually works involuntarily, but it can be tensed up voluntarily, for example, when taking deep breaths or holding one‘s breath. • As an auxiliary muscle for blood circulation, the diaphragm operates entirely involuntarily. It supports the right heart chamber in aspirating venous blood from the body‘s circulatory system (= pressure-suction-pump). The left half of the diaphragm is more important for this. The right half of the diaphragm has only limited movement, possibly due to the liver, which is located directly under the diaphragm. • We tense up the diaphragm voluntarily when giving birth, defecating or emptying the bladder = abdominal press. Diaphragm coupled with the Heart Muscle Conflict of being overwhelmed or outsmarted Diaphragm independent of the Heart Muscle Not getting enough air, not being able to inhale or exhale 246 Diaphragm cannot understand it at all. Several times a week when resting, especially at night, she gets a violent cramp-like pain that goes through the abdomen into the thoracic spine. During these attacks, the patient must stand up in order to breathe reasonably. The patient also describes that she can’t urinate and defecate during and after the seizures, that she can’t build pressure in the abdomen. Conflict history: The birth of her son is difficult, but thanks to an experienced doctor, everything goes well. During the press phase of her labor pains, she runs out of air - the doctor then kneels on her abdomen and presses the baby out - a healthy child is born. During the birth of her daughter, the scenario is similar: The last phase of labor is too weak to expel the baby. The child remains lodged in the birth canal. The patient is told to press harder but she is too weak and gives up: “I cannot press any more. I cannot push the baby out.“ > Conflict of not being able to push out the child. The patient wishes that the doctor from her first birth was there but he is not. An episiotomy is performed, albeit too late, and the baby is pulled out by force. The child is permanently handicapped. Six years later, as the mother learns to accept what has happened, the nightly epileptic, diaphragm cramp attacks begin. Whenever she sees her daughter, she thinks of the birth. Finally, after 25 years of suffering, a therapist who works with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature sees the causal relationship between the two. The birth is replayed as therapy: The therapist kneels on the patient‘s belly and imaginarily presses the child down and out. The patient‘s subconscious should now realize that “everything is all right now,“ especially since her now 31-year-old, slightly-handicapped daughter is the “apple of her eye.“ Guiding principle: “It‘s wonderful that I have such a sweet daughter. Everything is fine the way it is and the birth was fine.“ After the treatment, the patient has especially violent cramp attacks for 5 days = closing repair phase crisis during the repair phase. After that, she is released from her 25-year-long ordeal. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Paralysis, weakness, reduction of innervation or function > diaphragm elevation due to a lack of muscle tension. Weakness during physical exertions, because the diaphragm cannot help as much with breathing (most important muscle assisting breathing), pressing (lifting). Everything usually unnoticed. Bio. function Play-dead reflex. Predators lose interest when the prey doesn’t move or breathe. Repair phase Restoration of the nerve supply Repair crisis Epilepsy of the diaphragm = diaphragm cramp usually occurring at night or during periods of rest and piercing pain or twitching throughout the abdominal cavity. Due to the cramp in the diaphragm, breathing is restricted > acute shortness of breath, insufficient oxygen, turning blue (cyanosis). Note Through the functional coupling to the heart muscle (overwhelmed conflict), this may lead to sleep apnea or shortness of breath during the repair phase crisis of the heart muscle. This fact is confirmed by a French study, which installed pacemakers into apnea patients. The result was a surprising and serious improvement in symptoms in the group. (Source: N Engl J Med 346 2002 444) Questions First, determine if the heart is involved, which is usually the case: Cardiac arrhythmia without pain when relaxed? (Yes > heart SBS - overwhelmed conflict, see questions p. 151. No > diaphragm SBS alone). When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict shortly before). Did I have real problems with breathing, getting air or pressing out? In the figurative sense: What knocked the wind out of me? (A fright, unforeseeable stress, an argument)? Why couldn’t I deal with the situation? (Determine the core of the conflict). Were there similar situations in my childhood that conditioned me? (Question parents, awaken memories). Did my parents or ancestors experience anything similar? (Question parents and relatives). These types of conversations should be carried out with the express (inner) intention of bringing healing/love to the family. Therapy Should the cramps reappear, identify the conflict or tracks and resolve them. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Breathing exercises, rhythmic sports (hiking, walking, cross-country skiing, dancing). See also heart-strengthening remedies p. 199. E C T O 247 Diaphragm Hiccups (singultus) Same SBS as above (ee p. 245). Hiccups are a sudden and uncoordinated tensing of the diaphragm. The unexpected rush of air through the pharynx causes the glottis to close with the resulting “hiccup.“ Examples ➜ Someone drinks so greedily that he “forgets“ to breathe, causing an oxygen insufficiency. ➜ Someone talks to his sports buddy, while they are running = conflict of not getting enough air. a The 47-year-old woman is planning a big celebration with relatives for her father‘s 80th birthday. She needs to coordinate everything with her two siblings, which costs her a lot of effort and nerves. Finally, everything is settled and she is looking forward to the party, which is to occur in 6 weeks. One day, the patient phones her father. In passing, he mentions that he doesn‘t want a party and that it shouldn‘t take place. The patient is completely taken aback - her breath is taken away (= conflict). Fortunately, she immediately has a heart-to-heart talk with her partner about the matter. Half an hour later, as the two laugh about the stubborn old man, the woman gets a case of the hiccups, stronger than she has ever had before. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase crisis in the context of the repair phase - diaphragm cramp = hiccups. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life should they reoccur. Questions: see above. Breathe in deeply several times and hold the breath (hyperventilation) or cough, in order to bring the hiccups into “the right rhythm“ again. Swallow a teaspoon of cumin seeds with water. Drink several sips of cold water, or lemon water or take a spoonful of sugar. Inhale with stimulating etheric oils (camphor, peppermint, etc.). These measures bring about a vegetative changeover, a “reboot“ for the diaphragm contractions. Side stitches Same SBS as above (see p. 245). Example ➜ Someone eats a meal just before playing a sport. Phase Repair phase crisis in the context of the repair phase - diaphragm cramps = side stitches. Note The main trigger is eating before physical exercise. Since the stomach and intestines are partly anchored to the diaphragm, the diaphragm is pulled down by full visceral organs > limitation of the diaphragm‘s breathing assistance mechanism > start of an SBS of the diaphragm. People, who have weak muscles and weak connective tissue, probably also have a weak diaphragm, which soon reaches its performance limits. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life, should they reoccur. Questions: see above. Strength training, especially for the muscles of the trunk of the body. Pay attention to posture and body tension. Breathing exercises (possibly in the form of yoga) or alternative respiration. Do not eat before sport sessions. During sport sessions, breathe deeply and calmly. Do not talk. Diaphragmatic hernia, hiatus hernia Same SBS as above (see p. 245) - hard to distinguish from an injury, accident. Due to a hole in the diaphragm, the stomach, intestines or other abdominal organs can protrude into the chest cavity. The most frequently affected organ is the stomach (hiatus hernia). Phase Conflict-active phase: reduction of transverse muscle fibers > thinning of the diaphragm > tendency for hernia, for instance, when lifting heavy objects or doing “crunches.“ Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life should they still be active. Questions: see previous page. Breathing training (possibly yoga); strength training, especially for the trunk of the body, surgery if necessary. E C T O 248 PERITONEUM, NAVEL, GREATER OMENTUM & ABDOMINAL WALL The abdominal cavity is lined with the peritoneum, which is entirely composed of mesodermal tissue. There are two layers: The outer (parietal) layer is attached to the abdominal wall, the inner (visceral) layer forms the outer cover of the organs. There is a lubricating fluid in the wafer-thin space between the two layers, which allows the organs to slide about. The greater omentum is an apron-shaped fold of the peritoneum that is attached to the stomach and colon and hangs forward over the winding small intestines. It can move around on its own, so that it can purposefully lay itself around centers of inflammation in order to isolate them. For example, it folds itself over a ruptured appendix to keep the contents of the intestine from entering the abdominal cavity. Peritoneum Attack against the abdomen Greater Omentum Conflict related to the abdomen Abdominal Wall Self-esteem conflict, issues: pushing/pressing Peritineum, Navel and Abdominal Wall Cancer of the peritoneum (peritoneal cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma)1 Conflict Attack-to-the-abdomen. Actual attack, threat, or perception of an attack. Fear that something is wrong with the abdomen (intestines, stomach, liver, pancreas). Examples ➜ Very often due to brutal diagnoses like: “You have a lung tumor,“ or “You have a malignant breast cancer. We will have to operate at once.“ ➜ Evil words, insults, or verbal abuse, can be felt as blows or injuries. ➜ Intense abdominal pain, regardless of where it comes from (colic, poisoning, etc.) can also be felt as attack conflict > cell proliferation in the active-phase, cell degradation in the repair phase. a A colon cancer tumor, 17 cm (6.7 in) in diameter, is diagnosed in a 69-year-old woman. Con1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 48, 53 SBS of the Peritoneum O L D M E S O 249 Peritineum, Navel and Abdominal Wall sidering the size of the growth, the prognosis is very unfavorable = attack against the abdomen. The patient feels threatened by the gigantic tumor in her abdomen > growth of cells in the peritoneum = peritoneal cancer. Three weeks later, as the tumor is removed, the surgeons find a number of stipple-shaped mesotheliomas. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell proliferation in the peritoneum, growth of small or flat mesotheliomas, depending on whether the person feels attacked over the whole abdomen or only at a certain spot. Bio. function Strengthening and thickening of the peritoneum to fend off attacks better. Repair phase Tubercular-caseating degradation along with fever, night sweats or encapsulation of the tumor if no suitable bacteria are present, development of abdominal fluid (ascites), especially with syndrome. Repair phase doesn’t automatically mean that “everything’s okay,” because the conflict may be persistent and the repair phase pain could become problematic due to its intensity. After the healing is complete, calcium deposits and scarring may remain. Repair crisis Chills, intense pain. Questions First determine if it is conflict-active or in the repair phase. Real attack to the abdomen? (Accident, blow/punch, OP, severe abdominal pain like a bilious attack)? Imagined attack? (Diagnosis, thoughts about if one may have an intestinal tumor or not)? Substitute conflict? (E.g., sympathy with a loved one who has an abdominal disease). Why does it affect me so much? Which family conditioning plays a role? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life should they still be active. Understand the connections. Guiding principles: “I am safe. I am protected.“ “Everything is going to be all right again.“ “I know the connections, so this diagnosis cannot shake me.“ In CM, this condition is treated with an OP, chemotherapy and radiation for about three months of life extension. Right after the surgery, mesothelioma usually grow back in the surgery wound. In our view (and “from the perspective of the peritoneum“), this is understandable, because the surgery represents a renewed attack. > Due to their low chances of success, these CM therapies are not recommended. Inflammation of the peritoneum (peritonitis) CM distinguishes between primary (the peritoneum is the source of the inflammation) and secondary (surrounding organs, e.g., intestines are the source of the inflammation) peritonitis. If primary peritonitis: Same SBS as above. Example • A 35-year-old, right-handed man is sitting in the passenger seat next to his girlfriend, as she drives through an intersection with a green light. At this moment, a vehicle coming from the right crashes into the passenger side of the small car. The patient feels an impact from the side against his abdomen. The side airbag opens = attack conflict against the abdomen. He is brought to the hospital in an ambulance. Twenty-four hours after the accident, he experiences a strong pain. His abdomen is very hard and very sensitive to pressure = peritonitis. Forty-eight hours after the accident (the second day in the hospital), the abdomen of the athletic patient swells up into a big hard ball. The patient: “It was as if I were pregnant.“ = repair phase - ascites - exsudative peritoneal effusion. His swollen belly remains with him for two days and then he slowly urinates the fluid away and his pain subsides. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Repair phase: Inflammation of the peritoneum, tumor-degradation via bacteria, fever, night sweats. The acute peritonitis has a serious set of symptoms: abdominal pain, “hard as a board“ peritoneum, acute pain in the repair phase crisis. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. Slight inflammation: Cannabis oil, cold brine or curd cheese compresses, enzyme preparations, Schuessler Cell Salts: No. 3, lymph drainage massages. If severe, generalized peritonitis, CM does the following: surgical removal of inflamed tissue and pus. They then rinse the abdominal cavity (peritoneal lavage). Subsequently, the patient needs intensive care with antibiotics and pain-killers. Whether these drastic measures are actually necessary, I do not know. Decide on a case-by-case basis. O L D M E S O 250 SBS of the Navel Cancer of the inner navel1 In our developmental history, the inner part of the navel arose from the so-called cloaca. Birds and reptiles have no separate exits for feces and urine like most mammals; rather, they have a joint opening for everything. Even their sex organs open into the cloaca. Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16), not being able to get something out (= elimination conflict). Examples a A woman notices that her husband is drunk again. = Conflict, not able to eliminate the alcohol. a An 11-year-old boy has a 9-year-old sister. His conflict is that his sister still wets her bed = substitution conflict, not eliminating (correctly). When his sister is finally “dry,“ his navel begins to leak fluid = repair phase, degradation of the navel tumor. (See Ursula Homm, Lebensmittelheilkunde, p. 44) Conflict-active Increase in function or growth of a compact cauliflower-shaped tumor (adeno-ca) of secretory quality or a flat-growing cancer of absorptive quality. Bio. function Improvement of excretion. Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor via fungi or bacteria. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 28 E N D O Peritoneum, Navel and Abdominal Wall Ascites (exsudative ascites) Ascites is when there is fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Ascites can form during the inflammation (repair phases) of any abdominal organ, even the bones, in conjunction with syndrome (= transudative ascites). A swelling of the liver can mimic ascites. Pronounced ascites occur in a peritoneum SBS + syndrome (= exudative ascites). See also p. 266. The Same SBS as above (see p. 248), but with syndrome as well: Example a A patient is diagnosed with cancer of the liver and a surgery date is set = attack-to-the-abdomen conflict. The surgery is postponed 4-6 weeks in order to carry out pre-operative examinations. During the surgery, the abdomen is found to be “full of metastases“ = cell proliferation in the peritoneum (peritoneal mesothelioma). (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch Bd. 1, p. 348) a A 55-year-old patient decides to have liposuction on her abdomen, because her husband has been criticizing her fat belly. When she sees the long needle poking around in her abdomen, she feels like she is being attacked. Mesotheliomas develop on the four spots where the needle was inserted. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 207) Phase Repair phase: A reduction of the mesothelioma goes hand-in-hand with the production of fluid. This prevents adhesions, since everything is “swimming“ in ascites > enlarged abdomen with weight gain, severe ascites with syndrome. Possibly recurring-conflict. Therapy The attack conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Resolve any refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules). Tea: nettle, horsetail, goldenrod, sage. Normal drinking, little salt (whole salt), no pork. Lymphatic drainage, saltwater baths, enzyme preparation. Breathing exercises. If necessary: pain medication. Avoid punctures if possible or slowly lengthen the intervals between treatments. For chronic ascites, possibly implant a self-operated catheter. For treating loss of protein due to puncture > intake of biologically valuable proteins, such as eggs, curd cheese, protein 88, possibly also albumin infusions. O L D M E S O 251 Peritoneum, Navel and Abdominal Wall Abdominal wall hernia, inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia 90% of hernias occur in men. This is because, in the large inguinal canal, there is a weak spot in the male abdominal wall. This canal can become a hernial orifice and abdominal contents (intestinal loop) can force its way out. Conflict Self-esteem conflict: too much pressure, having to carry too much, always pushing and pressing. In the case of children, it is always a substitution conflict (check the parents). Conflict-active Unnoticed cell depletion in tendon sheets or in connective tissue of the abdominal wall. Prolonged conflict activity can cause tendons to be pushed to the side through increased abdominal pressure (longterm expansion of intestine from gas, straining during bowel movements, lifting, coughing) and a hernial orifice or a hernial sac develops. Repair phase Recovery only when the hernial orifice rests, closed, for a few months. Bio. function Strengthening the abdominal wall in order to be able to withstand more pressure. Questions When was the hernia noticed? (Conflict-active phase at least some weeks before). Which pressure from outside was I unable to withstand? Did I put myself under pressure? Tendency toward hernias in the family? (Yes > work out the family tendency) When did everything become so difficult? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principle: “I let it flow and it’s easy going.” Comfrey, sanicle internally and externally. Improve nutrition so that no intestinal gases develop and the intestine isn’t burdened. Wear an athletic supporter for a few months. The hernial sac must never fill during this time. OP if all else fails. SBS of the Abdominal Wall Questions What can’t I eliminate? What do I want to be rid of? (For me or perceived as a substitute for someone else). Why did that appear in my life? Was it a message for me? Which familial conditioning sensitized me for the conflict? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. OP if necessary. Cancer of greater omentum (omentum majus), cold abscess in abdominal cavity1 Tumors of the greater omentum are largely unknown in CM. Again, Dr. Hamer discovered something new. Conflict Conflict relating to the abdomen. Example ➜ A large tumor is discovered in someone‘s abdomen. Conflict-active Cell proliferation in the greater omentum, growth of a mesothelioma. Bio. function 1. Providing more fluid for a good lubrication of the abdominal viscera. 2. “Wrapping up” of the inflamed abdominal organs through the intrinsically mobile greater omentum. Repair phase Tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor, often along with adhesions. The encapsulation of centers of inflammation in the abdomen are also known as “cold abscesses“ in CM. Questions Determine if the conflict is active or in the repair phase based on the symptoms. What happened with my own abdomen or the abdomen of a loved one? (OP, injury, bad diagnosis or fear thereof)? Am I carrying something from the family (familial solidarity)? Are there unresolved issues in the family with relation to the abdomen/digestion? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 48, 53 SBS of the Greater Omentum O L D M E S O N E W M E S O 252 LIVER AND GALLBLADDER The liver (hepar) is the largest internal organ of the human body. It is the central organ for metabolism and the “chemical laboratory.“ Venous blood enters the liver through the portal vein carrying nutrients from the intestines and through worn-out blood cells from the spleen. The primal, endodermal tissue of the liver (liver parenchyma) serves to take up nutrition (absorptive function) and produce bile (secretory function). Some of the bile ducts lie within the liver (intrahepatic), while others lie outside the liver (extrahepatic). The bile flows through the bile ducts over the dead-end-like gallbladder into the duodenum. The bile ducts and gallbladder are muscular tubes lined with ectodermal squamous epithelium. The liver is regarded as the bodily organ that is most capable of regenerating. SBS of the Liver Parenchyma Liver adeno-ca, round liver lesions (hepatocellular cancer)1 Conflict Existential or starvation conflict, fear for one’s own existence because of hardship, poverty and food shortage, fear of starving (e.g., crop failure, unemployment). A lack of love, money, attention, recognition that is perceived as an existential threat. Examples ➜ This conflict is often the result of a diagnosis of colon cancer. Many patients believe that they will starve because of colon cancer > growth of circular hepatic lesions in the active-phase, tubercular degradation in the repair phase. a A mother during World War II told her six-year-old daughter: “You have to eat your milk soup or we can just order a casket right now.“ = Existential or starvation conflict. As with most starving war children, the little ones develop liver cysts (recurring-conflict) in the repair phase. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Band 2, p. 314) a The mother of a baby must often drive long distances because of her job. It often happens that the infant is alone for long periods. This causes him to suffer an existential or starvation conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 22 Liver Parenchyma (basic tissue) Starvation conflict, existential conflict Gallbladder and Bile Ducts Territorial-anger conflict E N D O Liver and Gallbladder 253 Liver and Gallbladder a A rich patient hires a cook for her household. Since the patient is always interfering with her cooking, the cook quits her job. The next cook also quits after just a short time. One day - just before a big dinner party - another cook quits. “Who‘s going to cook now for all these people?“ = Starvation conflict (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Bd. 1, p. 254) a A patient, a small entrepreneur, is lying in the hospital and learns that the rent on her shop is to be raised, contrary to the rental agreement. This causes her to suffer an existential or starvation conflict. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Bd. 1, p. 608) Conflict-active Increase in function and growth of a tumor adeno-ca of secretory or absorptive quality = hepatic circular foci, rise of the enzyme cholinesterase level in the blood due to increased liver metabolism. A single (solitary) circular lesion appears, when an existential or starvation conflict is a substitution conflict for another person; a number of round liver lesions appear if the conflict affects oneself. Fatty liver (hepar adiposum): An SBS of the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets can probably cause fat storage in the hepatic cells, which would reflect the biological meaning of an existential threat. Possibly though, it is just the sugar relay that is responsible for the fatty liver. Bio. function With more liver cells of absorptive quality, the food can be “sucked up“ (utilized) better. With more liver cells of secretory quality, more bile can be produced, with which the food can be better digested > both tumors help to avoid starvation or, in other words, ensure existence. Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor via fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria), hepatitis, swelling of the liver, pain, night sweats, fever. If no bacteria are present: encapsulation and disconnection from the metabolism. Repair crisis Chills, severe liver pain. Note Nowadays, hepatic adeno-ca is most common in the famine regions of Africa (real starvation) - in the well-fed West, it is usually the consequence of a cancer diagnosis (iotrogenic). Typical sequence of early childhood starvation conflict: never getting the feeling that one is full. Caution: In cancer patients, very old liver cysts are often interpreted as “liver metastases.” Questions First, determine if there is actually a relevant SBS of the liver running (look at the cholinesterase level). With cancer patients, a “metastasis” is often diagnosed from a harmless spot on the liver (hyper/ hypodense lesion). When did the symptoms begin? (Determine if they are repair phase symptoms or conflict-active symptoms). Was there a starvation conflict in recent months? Take a look at the career status, financial emergency, money problems due to a divorce, bankruptcy, etc.). Substitution conflict? (E.g., sympathy with a suffering child)? What was the infancy/childhood like? How did the parents live? Is there a history of liver disease in the family/ancestors? (Determine the causal conditioning - work out similar conflict situations). How am I dealing with the diagnosis? Am I able to see and understand the connections? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I will live.“ “My existence is secure.“ “I have enough to eat.“ “God guides me through all my difficulties.“ Possibly surgery - of course, without chemo and radiation. See also: remedies for the liver on p. 258. Liver tuberculosis, collection of pus in the liver (liver abscess) Same SBS as above. (See p. 252.) Phase Repair phase: With the help of bacteria there is a tubercular, necrotizing degradation of the round lesions of the liver (= liver tuberculosis). Note If the conflict recurs, connective-tissue capsules of pus appear (liver abscess). Both situations are accompanied by swelling of the liver, pain, night sweats and fever. When the tuberculosis has run its course, calcium deposits can remain = CM‘s “calcification of the liver.“ Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Possibly, pain relievers and antibiotics. See also: remedies for the liver p. 258. E N D O 254 Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), hepatitis (ectodermal), acute or chronic hepatitis types, autoimmune hepatitis, cancer of the bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma)1 Conflict Territorial-anger conflict or identity conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). One is angry because the territory or territorial boundaries are not respected. According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Resentful, one can’t forgive, always making accusations. Examples For territorial-anger conflict (see p. 240 for examples of identity conflicts): ➜ Most of the time, aggression plays a role either from oneself or from another. ➜ Trouble with work colleagues or family members, boundary violations or encroachments by the neighbors. Fights over territory or money. One is livid with anger. ➜ A person is irritated or provoked. They is drawn out of their normal reserve. One is “bilious.” a A family man and former police officer has been retired for years. For some time, his liver has been bothering him but he hasn‘t paid much attention to it. The problem originated from past anger at work. Adherence to law and order has always been his highest duty and this has led to territorial-anger conflicts. One day, he draws the last straw: He learns that his sister has misappropriated a large sum of money from his mother‘s estate = large, recurring, territorial-anger conflict. He breaks contact with his sister, but that cannot alleviate his anger. The patient dies of a hepatic coma (= repair phase crisis of the liver and bile ducts) and syndrome. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 333). a A 71-year-old married, right-handed woman has a 41-year-old, mentally-ill daughter (seven suicide attempts), who often phones in the middle of the night and threatens to kill herself. The mother then immediately gets into her car and drives the 40 km (25 mi) to her daughter = 26 years of chronic-active territorial-anger conflict with regard to the bile ducts. A year ago, she began to draw the line strictly. She hangs up the phone immediately if her daughter is rude to her = beginning of the repair phase: increase in GGT to 144 and GOT to 68, nausea, swollen liver, side pain. Findings of the sonogram: “liver metastasis.“ Thanks to her trust in God and her knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, she survives it all. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increase in sensibility of the bile duct mucosa, simultaneous slackening of the smooth ring musculature. Later, cell degradation (ulcer) in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts, within or outside of the liver (intra- or extrahepatic), moderate pain (side pain). Often furious, angry, aggressive. Typical for a recurring (chronic) conflict is fat and alcohol intolerance. Increased gamma-GT (most important value), GOT, GPT, AP (all or singularly, see p. 44). Bio. function Through an enlargement of the gallbladder or bile ducts, the lumen increases > bile can be sent to the duodenum better and quicker (to better vent one’s anger). Repair phase Restoration of the squamous epithelium of the bile ducts or gallbladder caused by increased metabolism, repair of lost substance = inflamed gallbladder, gallbladder cancer; healing swelling or inflammation of the bile ducts (cholangitis). The flow of bile can be reduced or stopped (cholestasis). If the majority of the bile ducts are affected, jaundice (icterus) ensues. Possibly a recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Severe pain, chills, colic due to involvement of the bile duct muscles. Questions In the case that it is recurring: Which territorial situation is upsetting? (Coworkers, boss, partner, neighbor, siblings)? Are the symptoms better on vacation (Yes > indication of a conflict in daily life, e.g., workplace). When did the complaints begin? What changed in my life at that point? (Move or new workplace, separation, new partner, etc.)? Which childhood situations does the conflict bring to mind? (Aggressive father, teacher, a fight with siblings, parents fighting)? Aggressive tendencies in the family? Which side? Does the issue have a life-lesson to teach me? How will I deal with it in 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 116 SBS of the Gallbladder Bile Ducts E C T O Liver and Gallbladder 255 Liver and Gallbladder the future? Which new attitude would be healing? Which old resentment or reproaches are holding me back? Which outward changes could help? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. If recurrent: Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs. Guiding principles: “My anger lies behind me.“ “The next time I will remain calm from the beginning.“ Enzyme preparations, Schuessler Cell Salts No. 3, 4 and 9. See also: remedies for the liver. p. 258. If necessary, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, surgery. Jaundice (icterus) Same SBS as above (see p. 254). The life cycle of the red-blood cells ends after about 120 days. After that, they are broken down into bilirubin in the bone marrow, spleen and liver and eliminated through the gallbladder. If the bile ducts are blocked, the concentration of bilirubin in the blood rises. If the concentration exceeds 2 mg/dl, jaundice (yellow skin) sets in. Phase Repair phase: healing swelling of the bile ducts with temporary occlusion > the bilirubin cannot be discarded > the level of bilirubin in the blood rises > yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, as well as a brown-coloring of the urine; the stool remains light in color for lack of bile coloring. Note However, jaundice can also come from an accelerated degradation of red-blood cells (hemolysis). This can be caused by blood transfusions, poisons, medication, heavy losses of blood (bruises, contusions, etc.) and malaria. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process, prevent recurrences. See also: remedies for the liver p. 258. Jaundice in newborn babies (newborn icterus, kernicterus) Same SBS as above (see pp. 254). A large percentage of newborn babies are affected by a yellow coloring of the skin during the first two weeks of life. In CM, this is considered normal, except in severe cases. The jaundice is explained by a shortened life span (70 instead 120 days) of the red-blood cells, an immature liver and an increased reabsorption of bilirubin in the intestines of constipated newborns. It would be interesting to know how common newborn jaundice is among indigenous peoples. If infants were not subjected to ultrasound and amniocentesis and if mother and child were not exposed to so much hectic rush and stress, newborn jaundice would certainly be less common. The unfortunately, very-widespread ultrasound examinations pose a real risk to the embryo or fetus. The amniotic fluid is heated by the noise of the ultrasound and even forms little bubbles (cavitation). Noise = danger > fear. Some newborns get through this excitement undamaged, but others are seized with panic and become ill. From the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, jaundice in newborns is not normal but rather the result of a territorial-anger conflict during the pregnancy and/or birth. The proof of this, as with all illnesses, can be found with a CT scan. However, in infants/toddlers a CT is not appropriate due to the radiation exposure and the need for anesthesia. Conflict Territorial-anger or, less often, an identity conflict (see above). Examples ➜ A difficult birth takes place. ➜ An ultrasound test disturbs the newborn in its territory. ➜ The unborn registers the nearness of the needle used for testing the amniotic fluid. At the same time he feels his mother‘s fear of a gene defect. ➜ During pregnancy, the mother bumps her belly into the edge of a table. ➜ In the womb, the child hears his parents‘ quarreling. Phase Repair phase: Healing swelling of the bile ducts with temporary occlusion > increased bilirubin in the blood and yellowing of the skin. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process, prevent recurrences. The most important “treatment“ is that the child can (more or less permanently) stay with their mother, undisturbed and feels harmony and love (the love for the child, but also the love between the parents). See remedies for the liver p. 258. E C T O 256 Gallstones (cholelithiasis), biliary microlithiasis, biliary colic Same SBS as above (see pp. 254). 10-25% of adults have gallstones. They begin with a tiny condensation nucleus, around which layer after layer of additional material collects. They are made up of 98% cholesterol - the rest is calcium and bile pigment. Usually they are found in the gallbladder and remain unnoticed. However, if a gallstone slips into a bile duct, the fun’s over > severe pain, colic due to irritation of the sensitive epithelial mucous membrane. The blockage causes a rise in the bilirubin level (> jaundice). In esoteric teaching, gallstones represent crystallized (not free-flowing) aggression. Phase Recurring-conflict: A long period of conflict activity is followed by scarred shrinkage of the bile ducts and/or gallbladder, inflammation (repair phase) indicates that there is a more or less pronounced blockage of bile flow > reduced “turnover“ of bile > thickening, formation of condensation nucleus > growth of stones. Repair crisis Colic of the gallbladder, pain in the sides, chills: the body tries to expel the stone with peristaltic contractions of the bile duct. This works to remove biliary “sludge” and small gallstones, but not larger stones. For these, a CM intervention makes sense. Note Low-fat foods (“light“ products) and foods without bitter-tasting compounds promote the formation of gallstones because the body responds by producing less bile > the bile thickens > formation of stones. Comparison: A river’s sediment load is a function of its capacity = less flow > less transport. An existential or starvation conflict (see above), in persistent repair, can probably lead to gallstones because of the low production of bile. Syndrome favors gall stone formation due to narrowed bile ducts. (This is most often seen in overweight people with high cholesterol levels). Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the SBS comes to an end. Questions: see p. 254. Guiding principle: “Lord, give me the strength to change what I can change, the serenity to accept what I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference“ (Niebuhr). Liver cleansing according to Moritz2 . Stone dissolution by “Lithosol“ (mineral mixture, prescription). If necessary, surgery or treatments to break up or dissolve the gallstones. Beware: Gallbladders are removed too often (a nice, well-paid, beginner’s surgery). Gallstones rarely cause problems. Colic: painkilling and anticonvulsant medication. See also: remedies for the liver p. 258. Acute liver failure (hepatic coma, hepatic encephalopathy) Same SBS as above (see pp. 254). The symptoms range from an increased need for sleep to unconsciousness (coma). According to CM, these symptoms indicate that the end is approaching (insufficient detoxification). Unfortunately the repair phase crisis is not known by CM, for one would then realize that although the coma is dangerous, it is part of the repair phase. > For this reason, do not give up too early! Phase Repair phase crisis: A hepatic coma occurs when the gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels begin to drop. Dr. Hamer discovered that it is not only the non-functioning of the liver (ammonia and other nitrogen compounds find their way into the bloodstream) that is dangerous; the impact of the repair phase crisis on the brain is dangerous as well: a liver coma is a kind of “brain coma“ = unconsciousness due to 2 Andreas Moritz, Die wundersame Leber- & Gallenblasenreinigung, voxverlag.de, Bad Lausick 2008. Caution: This is a good way to cleanse the bile ducts, but the conglomerate excreted is not gallstones as Moritz contends, rather saponified oil. E C T O Liver and Gallbladder 257 Liver and Gallbladder Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis) A typical disease associated with civilization/prosperity. Causes: • Too much sugar: Fructose is metabolized by the liver independently of insulin and, if too much is ingested, it is converted into fat and stored in the basic tissue of the liver (parenchyma). • Too rich/ample a diet with too little exercise > Storage of the energy surplus as fat in the liver and body. • Too often/too much alcohol: The body interprets alcohol as a poison, so it is preferentially metabolized by the liver. > In the presence of toxins, the liver reduces its normal activity of burning fat, synthesizing proteins, etc. and prioritizes breaking down the toxins. > Fat storage in the liver and the rest of the body, muscular malnutrition (> muscular atrophy). The liver’s “emergency mode” is also triggered by other toxins such as medicines, drugs, nicotine. • The SBSs of the alpha and beta islet cells (p. 267, 265) and the SBSs of the liver parenchyma (p. 258) also play a role in fatty liver disease. – The storage of fat in liver cells makes biological sense in times of existential need. Therapy Very curable disease. Marching orders: Healthy diet, sufficient exercise, avoid toxins. On the basis of symptoms and blood values, check to see which of the abovementioned SBSs may be active. Liver cysts (PLD - polycystic liver disease) Cysts can form in the liver‘s functional, endodermal tissue as well as in its ectodermal squamous epithelium. Both kinds of cysts can grow up to several centimeters. Active kidney collecting tubules SBS can strengthen the effect by “pumping up“ old cavities with fluid. • Cyst(s) in the liver parenchyma (cyst adeno-ca, solitary liver cyst): existential or starvation conflict; condition following round liver lesion ca (See liver adeno-ca p. 252). • Cyst(s) in the bile ducts (squamous epithelium): territorialanger conflict or identity conflict. (See section on hepatitis for examples and course of illness pp. 254). Conditions following recurrences and persistent repair: If the blockage of a bile duct is protracted, the flow of bile begins to flow backwards > bile duct proliferation and formation of cysts. The backflow can also cause the liver parenchyma to die off (CM: necrosis of the omentum). Liver cirrhosis Possible causes • Bile ducts: The bile ducts, with their finely branching structure, reach just about every corner of the liver. (See p. 254.) Recurring territorial-anger conflicts lead to a scarring shrinkage of the bile ducts. The epithelium is gradually replaced a build-up of pressure and severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). Note The enzyme gamma-glutamyltransferase, also known as gamma-GT, is the most significant laboratory value for us with regard to the bile ducts. Values of up to 40 units per liter for women and 70 units per liter for men are considered to be normal. The critical phase begins when the gamma-GT value is already beginning to rise. At values of up to 400, the repair phase crisis normally proceeds without complications; from 400- 800, it becomes problematic. At such high levels, there is almost always a syndrome involved. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. Prevent recurrences. Resolve any refugee conflict if active (see p. 268). During the repair phase crisis, the brain is operating “at its limit“ and needs a lot of glucose > administer glucose through the mouth or with a feeding tube. Glucose infusions have the disadvantage of binding fluids in the body. Important: hospital treatments should be kind and humane because of a possible refugee conflict (syndrome). See also: therapy for symptoms of pressure on the brain (p. 67). See also: remedies for the liver p. 258. E C T O 258 Liver and Gallbladder by inferior connective tissue. CM: “primary biliary cirrhosis.“ The liver parenchyma also dies off, because the transportation of bile from the gallbladder is disturbed > liver cirrhosis. • Liver Parenchyma: Recurring existential or starvation conflicts lead to an alteration or death of the liver tissue (liver parenchyma necrosis). Condition after frequent liver tuberculosis = cirrhosis of the liver; note: reduced levels of cholinesterase. (See p. 252.) • Poisoning: There is hardly a medication that does NOT harm the liver - from hormone preparations to simple pain medicine: every chemical must be neutralized and removed by the liver. Chronic misuse of medication, drugs and alcohol damages the liver and in the end, this leads to liver cirrhosis. Dr. Hamer rightly points out that most alcoholics are members of the lower level of society and are more conflict-endangered than others. “Cancer doesn‘t come from alcohol - alcoholism and cancer come from anger and worry.“ Liver cirrhosis usually leads to high blood pressure (intrahepatic portal hypertension) and blockage of the portal veins. Remedies for the liver • Stop poisoning with medication, alcohol and drugs; eat only small amounts in the evening so that no alcohol arises in the intestines due to fermentation. • Pay attention to food combinations: do not combine starches (grain, bread) with sugar; possibly follow the Hay diet. • Cleanse the bile ducts by drinking vegetable oil as described by Moritz. (See footnote 2 on p. 256). • Drink a lot of water in the morning for detoxification. • Bach flowers: beech, chicory, gentian, gorse, willow. • Teas: blessed milk thistle, fennel, burdock root, dandelion, agrimony, Chelidonium, centaury, yarrow, barberry, chicory, absinthe. • Spices: turmeric, fennel, saffron, rosemary, juniper. • Hildegard of Bingen: chestnut honey - mulberry wine special recipe, Swedish bitters. • Segment massage on the right thoracic spine and sides, acupuncture and acupoint massage, foot reflex-zone massage. • Cayce: Seven-day treatment with dehydrated castor oil - soak a 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in) cloth with dehydrated castor oil and place it on the right flank. Place a piece of plastic and a warm hot-water bottle over it. Wrap it in the blanket and let it work for one hour. Take a small dose of olive oil after that. • Kanne Bread Drink, internally. • Eat fresh nasturtium and black radish often. • Hot-moist liver compress. • Linseed oil (omega 3 fatty acid). • If emaciated, 2 tbsp cod liver oil daily. 259 Pancreas PANCREAS The fishhook-shaped pancreas lies transversely behind the stomach in the upper abdominal cavity. Its endodermal glandular tissue produces 1 to 1½ liters of digestive juice daily, which contains enzymes to break down fats, proteins and carbohydrates. The ectodermal excretory ducts collect the juice and lead it into the duodenum (= exocrine gland function). Embedded in the glandular tissue and strewn “like raisins in a cake“ are two kinds of ectodermal hormone glands (= the socalled pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans) with two main types of cells: • The alpha cells produce the hormone glucagon, which raises the blood sugar. • The beta cells produce insulin, which lowers the blood sugar. Both hormones are fed directly into the blood (endocrine gland function). As we see below, the two sugar SBSs provided by nature should only function as short-term programs - in preparation for a fight or for flight. In this context, they are both meaningful and helpful. Unfortunately, thanks to our habit of continuously lugging conflicts around throughout our modern lives, this meaning is totally lost. Pancreas - Parenchyma Chunk conflict, not being able to utilize something Pancreatic Ducts Territorial-anger conflict Pancreatic Islet - Beta Cells (insulin) Resistance conflict Pancreatic Islet - Alpha Cells (glucagon) Fear-disgust conflict SBS of the Pancreatic Islet Beta Cells Chronic hyperglycemia (CM‘s diabetes mellitus type 1)1 The hormone insulin sinks the blood sugar level and opens the floodgates to the muscles. With this SBS, the insulin production in the beta cells is uniformly lowered and thus, the level of sugar in the blood rises. In the muscles, however, the sugar level is reduced - a consequence of the decreased insulin production. When glucose levels are high, sugar is also eliminated through the urine. (This explains the name: diabetes mellitus = honey-sweet flow). The beta cells are controlled by the right (male) side of the cerebral cortex. Conflict Resistance conflict - pre-fight phase: One defends themselves against someone or something, but believes that they are not strong enough. One refuses someone (usually an authority) or a task (e.g., a certain job/work). One believes they have to fighting against something. One is forced to do something or completes something against their will. Less often, this is a female fear-disgust conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels, or previous conflicts). Explanation: The masculine reaction to adversity is defend, resist and then strike. Frauenkron-Hoffmann: cold conflict (ancestors froze to death, existential emergency due to cold, etc. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 138 E C T O 260 Pancreas Examples ➜ A person must do something he doesn‘t want to do (for example, go to kindergarten or to school). ➜ One is or feels compelled or coerced into something. ➜ One is faced with a superhuman task that must be accomplished at all costs. After the initial conflict, the affected person will often be run on this track for the rest of their life. ➜ I am confronted with an authority and I cannot resist it. (Dr. Claude Sabbah) ➜ I want attention, but I’m being tortured instead. Resistance conflict against an abusive authority doing disgusting things. (Dr. Claude Sabbah) a At the end of his political career, the former Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi was proven to have personal connections to the mafia. He was forced to face every imaginable kind of attack, while finding it difficult to justify himself = resistance conflict of not being able to defend oneself from accusations. As the pressure became too great, he fled to Tunisia but he found no peace there either, because he was constantly forced to defend himself in interviews = persistent-active conflict: reduced insulin production > increase in blood sugar = diabetes. Being on the run, caused him to suffer a refugee conflict (kidney collecting tubules). Massive fluid collection together with the diabetes then lead to his death in the year 2000. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 430) a Following the separation from her partner, a young, left-handed woman has difficulties getting him to provide financial support for their two children. She doesn‘t know what she can do other than threaten him with a lawsuit. However internally, she resists having to settle the matter in such an unpleasant manner = resistance conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active In the pre-fight phase, one resists something = conflict activity. Now the insulin-producing beta-islet cells reduce their function > less insulin is released > increase in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia, diabetes). However, the sugar is not yet brought to the muscles. - This is in preparation for its imminent discharge (use in the fight). In practice, though, we are usually dealing with a persistent conflict here. Main symptoms: terrible thirst, increased urge to urinate, fatigue, weakness, problems concentrating. Repair phase Discharge = fight, flight or both: secretion of insulin > drop in blood sugar because the floodgates open into the muscles. > Large supply of glucose to the muscles for a fight - at least until the increased blood sugar level is depleted. In the second part of the repair phase it can come to the opposite reaction, i.e., a sugar level that is too low (hypoglycemia). Bio. function “Damming up“ the sugar in the blood (temporary reserve) for the coming fight. Repair crisis Attacks of extreme hyperglycemia. Questions When did the symptoms begin? (Conflict/trigger shortly before). What was I resisting against? (Bad situation, rebuke, being coerced)? What did I do even though I didn’t want to do it? Was I forced/ pressured to do something? (Sexual, school, duty)? Blood sugar measurements: After/during which situations is the sugar high/low? (Indication of conflict activity, triggers and the solution respectively). Diabetes in the family? Yes > work out the family issue: Which parallels are there between the ones affected? (Similar fates)? What was the earliest conditioning? What sensitized me to this conflict? (Childhood, parental stress during the pregnancy, ancestral experiences)? Children: Likelihood of a substitution conflict. (Parent’s stress > child develops symptoms). Which advantages does the child have due to the difficulties the illness/convalescence presents? (Parents are worried, pay attention to the child because of the illness, the child is in the focus, receives privileges, has a special status at school)? What do I definitely want to change? Therapy Determine the conflict and/or trigger(s) and resolve them in real life if they are still active. If all else fails: CM insulin replacement therapy. However, one doesn’t have to get carried away here, because increased glucose levels only have negative effects over the long term. The insulin therapy leads to the body producing even less. A few weeks with a fasting blood glucose level of 300 mg/dl (normal value 100) is not a problem. Long-term, there is a need for treatment if values remain over 200 mg/dl. See also: remedies for diabetes p. 263. E C T O 261 Pancreas SBS of the Pancreatic Islet Alpha Cells Reduced blood sugar (hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinanemia)1 The hormone glucagon brings the sugar from the liver into the bloodstream and raises blood sugar levels. With this SBS, glucagon production is reduced. > The sugar is not retrieved from the liver and therefore does not enter the bloodstream > low blood sugar levels. As opposed to the SBS of the beta cells, this SBS remains largely unrecognized. A low blood sugar level is rightly considered as not requiring treatment. Conflict Fear-disgust conflict, towards someone or of something - one experiences something disgusting. Less often, this is a resistance conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). Explanation: The female response to adversity is fear and disgust. Traditionally, the male takes the way forward, opting to attack; the female behaves passively at first. The alpha cells are controlled by the left (female) cerebral cortex. Women usually react with fear, disgust or revulsion. Examples ➜ Somebody feels disgust or revulsion or is seized by sheer horror. ➜ “To shudder with horror.“ “To pull back with disgust.“ “That’s revolting!“ ➜ Horror of chemotherapy, a putrid wound, a badly injured person or disgust at one‘s own disfigurement (e.g., following an accident). ➜ Fear of certain animals: for example, spiders, beetles, snakes, mice, rats. ➜ A cleaning woman has to clean the filthy men‘s toilets = fear-revulsion conflict. Due to hypo1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 143 E C T O Hyperglycemia - other causes • Stress without subsequent energy release: During periods of stress, the sugar level is raised through insulin reduction so that we can fight, flee or react optimally energetically. This is how it functions in humans and animals. The animal actually fights or flees and consumes the newly available sugar. Civilized human beings don‘t do the same. Sitting in our cars, we become angry and we only, at most, “flip the bird“ or raise a fist - and that‘s it. No action and no energy consumption. At our desks, it is the same; it is also the same at home in front of the television set. Hyperglycemia is a typical civilization conflict > stress without movement or exercise makes the blood sugar level rise. • Overeating: The energy balance between intake and output does not add up correctly > overweight and hyperglycemia. This is not always the case, as not every overweight person has hyperglycemia; there is a tendency, however. • Medications: Taking many different medications makes a person sympathicotonic and raises the blood sugar levels indirectly. Especially unfavorable are cortisones, catecholamines, antibiotics, etc. (see p. 68) • Vaccinations: Conflictive by vaccination process + poisoning (see p. 70). Insulin resistance In CM, insulin resistance is considered a pre-stage/accompanying symptom of type 2 diabetes. However, the role of the adrenal cortex hormone cortisol is often overlooked. Cortisol raises blood sugar levels and is one of the most common substances counteracting insulin. I.e. in cases of insulin resistance, the (sufficiently produced) insulin is “neutralized” by cortisol > The insulin produced remains ineffective/blood sugar levels remain elevated. Diagnosis/therapy Determine blood cortisol levels > if elevated > no SBS of the pancreas, but an SBS of the adrenal cortex > conflict of having bet on the wrong horse. > Resolve the conflict (see p. 138). Gestational diabetes • SBS of the pancreatic islet beta cells: resistance conflict, see p. 259. • SBS of the adrenal gland (see insulin resistance or p. 138). Typical conflict situation in pregnant women. Doubts about having chosen the wrong partner, having taken the wrong path, not having had an abortion, and/or strife over how your life is ruined now. 262 Pancreas glycemia, she is always hungry and becomes obese. a A 53-year-old mother of two grown sons has known her husband since her school days. At 16, she meets the father of her present husband. The encounter is a negative one because the patient finds the man repulsive from the beginning. At the same time, she suffers a territorial-anger conflict affecting the mucosa of the stomach. For years, she suffers from bulimia. Note: bulimia-constellation = fear-revulsion conflict + territorial-anger conflict affecting the mucosa of the stomach (see p. 190f). (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Reduced functioning of the alpha cells (CM‘s “glucagon insufficiency“), hypoglycemia, ravenous appetite, cold sweat, shivering, pale skin, feeling of walking on air, concentration and consciousness disturbances, possibly headache. With permanent conflict activity: weight problems (constant hunger). Psychological tendency: defensive attitude, one keeps things or people at a distance, compulsive cleanliness (cleaning mania). Repair phase Fear, disgust or rejection is overcome > production of glucagon is ramped up > release of sugar from the liver > normalization of blood sugar. Usually a recurring-conflict. Bio. function 1. Through increased sugar intake (sugar cravings) and the storage of sugar in the liver during the conflict-active phase, the sugar depot is well stocked. This provides a lot of energy for subsequent action (escape or retreat). 2. Loss of consciousness is the most extreme form of passivity (“playing dead”). The individual withdraws itself from reality. Repair crisis Brief, sharp drop of the blood sugar level, afterwards, there can be a slow rise in blood sugar. Questions When did the symptoms begin? What disgusts me from the time in question until today? (Adverse living conditions, job, being pressured by one’s partner)? Which beliefs and conditioning are the cause? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Find out where the love is, you will find the solution there. In acute cases inject glucagon intravenously. It is better, however, to supply sugar orally (dextrose, fruit juice). See also: remedy for diabetes p. 263. Binge eating disorder (BED) Same SBS as above. In CM, bouts of binge eating are considered as purely a psychological disorder. Now, we understand the organic background (see above). It is nevertheless true that the binges express an inner deficiency (recognition, love). Elevated, strongly fluctuating blood sugar (CM‘s diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2) Conflict Fear-disgust conflict of someone or something and at the same time a resistance conflict - to defend oneself against someone or something. = Combination of hyper- and hypoglycemia. Both SBSs described above are active. Example a From an early age, the youngest of three children fully notices the daily quarrels of his parents. The father “explodes“ regularly because the mother “irritates“ him. At such times, the father sometimes becomes violent = resistance and fear-disgust conflict according to a CT. The, now, 41-year-old is diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 12. Even now, the blood sugar rises sharply when there is an argument between people who are close to one another (= trigger). The patient stubbornly refuses insulin therapy. However, he finds that his wounds heal badly when his sugar is high = indication of the damaging effects of hyperglycemia. In the last two years, he has been able to keep his blood sugar levels between 140 and 100 through weight reduction, physical exercise, and altered diet. The old wounds have healed. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Switching of the conflicts and phases. A combination of both SBSs, depending on which conflict is stronger at a given time, hyper- or hypoglycemia results, fluctuating values due to a “mixing“ of the two conflicts. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. See also remedies for diabetes p. 263. When all else fails: CM insulin replacement therapy. E C T O 263 Pancreas SBS of the Pancreatic Glandular Tissue Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic adeno-ca, serous cystademona, acinar cell ca)1 According to CM, this is one of the deadliest cancers. This negative prognosis, coupled with CM treatment, leads to the death of the vast majority of patients. This is not necessary. Conflict Chunk conflict (see explanations p. 15, 16)), a gain or income cannot be realized, inheritance or property conflict, disagreement among family members, fight over money or possessions. According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Something monstrous has taken place. Outrage/indignation of others about one’s own behavior or one’s own outrage/indignation about the behavior of others (e.g., caused by a family feud). Examples ➜ Someone cannot incorporate something that they would like to have. ➜ Something is taken away from someone or somebody loses something that means a lot to him. ➜ One cannot realize or accept something unexpectedly, often in connection with their family. a In his book, “Was Gesund Macht” (see bibliography), Johannes F. Mandt describes his battle with pancreatic cancer and the cause of the conflict: “…I had been separated (from his wife) for eight years. In March 2002, I filed for divorce. At the end of October 2002, I received a letter from my wife‘s lawyer. It contained - among other things - two demands, which completely surprised me. I was caught completely off guard. From that moment on, I could think of nothing other than these new demands. By November, I always had cold hands and feet…the cold was always there, even in bed at night. I lost my appetite.“ (= Conflict-active phase. Mr. Mandt recovered well from it all). 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 23 E N D O Adult-onset diabetes mellitus (diabetes mellitus type 2) • It can come to adult-onset diabetes when the fear-disgust conflict of the alpha cells switches to the other side of the brain due to changes in hormones and activates the relay of the beta cells. (See the map of the cerebral cortex p. 17). A problem of low blood sugar suddenly turns into one of high blood sugar. This also explains why overweight people are consistently diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes. Many overweight people are actually overweight because of constant low blood sugar and the constant hunger they have as a result (see p. 261). The constant hunger is a habit that accompanies the switch and for this reason, diabetes mellitus type 2 can be diagnosed. • The second possibility of contracting adult-onset diabetes is when one suffers a resistance conflict at an older age that remains active. > Raised blood sugar levels (see p. 259). Summary of blood sugar and diabetes As a rule, diabetes is a persistent, active conflict. CM claims that diabetes causes vascular damage (retinal vessels, diabetic foot). The fact of the matter is that glucose not reaching tissue is what causes damage. Regardless - in cases of long-term, elevated blood sugar, there is a need for treatment, to lower the glucose levels through conflict resolution, changes in lifestyle and diet or with medication (insulin). The last measure needs to be considered very carefully: The longer one receives insulin therapy, the more dependent one becomes on it - the islet cells’ function decreases with time > insulin dependence increases. If insulin therapy is necessary, try to work with as small a dose as possible. Remedies for diabetes • Guiding principles: “Either I do it right or I don‘t do it at all.“ “I’ll do it my own way and the decision is mine alone.“ “Stress cannot touch me.“ • The most important remedy is regular exercise, preferably moderate endurance sports outdoors. In this way, the biological purpose is fulfilled and the muscle burns sugar. However, if the resistance conflict has to do with sport itself, then sport is not good because it would lead to conflict-activity, which would make the blood sugar go up. • Avoidance of simple starches such as white flour, sugar etc. • Biologically complete foods, such as all kinds of beans, lentils, strawberries, oats, potatoes, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus, horseradish, Kanne Bread Drink; supplement vitamin D, chromium. • Cod liver and flaxseed oil, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). • Cayce: Eat Jerusalem artichoke often (contains insulin). • Teas: fenugreek, burdock root, elderberry, golden cinquefoil. • Possibly petroleum-cure, learn deep breathing. 264 Pancreas a The manager of a wellness spa appoints a substitute. Unfortunately, she turns out to be unsuitable. She talks a lot and leaves her work undone. The patient gets angry every time she walks past this woman’s workspace = anger conflict with family members. (The manager considers her employees to be her family). On her colleague‘s last day, the patient says to herself, “Thank God. Tomorrow I won‘t have to look at her any more.“ = Conflict resolution and beginning of the repair phase. This is followed by vomiting and chills (repair phase crisis). The patient overcomes it all well, thanks to her knowledge of how everything is connected. (See Gisela Hompesch, Meine Heilung von Krebs durch das Goldene Buch von Dr. Hamer). Conflict-active Increase in function or growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality - usually unnoticed. Slight increase in amylase, lipase and CA 19-9, CA 50 and CEA in the blood (see p. 45). Bio. function With more pancreatic tissue, more pancreatic enzymes can be produced in order to digest food better. When we do not get something (for example an inheritance) that we had been counting on, nature sees that what we have is better utilized by producing additional cells. Repair phase Normalization of function, tubercular, caseating degradation of the tumor, empty spaces (caverns) or calcium deposits can remain in the tissue; pain, fever, night sweats, possibly diarrhea; if no suitable bacteria are present, the tumor is encapsulated with connective tissue and isolated from participating in metabolic functions. Usually a recurring conflict. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain Questions Which issue could/can I not digest? From what was I unable to extract the benefit I expected? What outraged me? What conditioned me in this direction? (Childhood, the way the parents think, experiences of my ancestors)? Which beliefs enabled this conflict? (E.g., “I am entitled to my inheritance,” fanatical righteousness)? What meaning might the diagnosis have for my direction in life? (Reorientation, contemplation about the meaning of life)? Am I ready to make a new start? Therapy Identify the conflict and/or trigger(s) and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Absolute bed rest, so that the tuberculosis can heal. Surgery if necessary - if the tumor has grown too large - without chemo or radiation of course. Unfortunately, a surgeon rarely dares to operate under these conditions. See also: remedies for the pancreas. Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis, exocrine pancreas insufficiency) Same SBS as above. Phase Recurring-conflict or persistent repair: excessive degradation of the glandular tissue, under-production of enzymes > digestive problems such as bloating/flatulence, fatty stool and diarrhea due to enzyme deficiency - moderate pain, bloated abdomen. Therapy Identify the conflict and/or trigger(s) and, if possible, resolve them in real life if they are still active. Low-fat diet, possibly substitute enzyme with pancreatin or enzyme-rich diet. See also: remedies for the pancreas. E N D O SBS of the Pancreatic Excretory Ducts Cancer of the pancreatic ducts (pancreatic ductal/intraductal cancer)1 Conflict Territorial-anger conflict or, less often, identity conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). One is angry that the boundaries of the territory are disrespected. Examples ➜ Often, conflict arising either from oneself or from an opponent. ➜ Conflict with colleagues or family members, overstepping of the boundaries by the neighbor, arguing over money. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 117 E C T O 265 Pancreas Acute inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) Possible causes • Inflammation of the glandular tissue of the pancreas Repair phase: tubercular, caseating degradation of tumor tissue (pancreas tuberculosis), belt-like abdominal pain, swollen, pressure sensitive “rubber belly,“ flatulence, nausea, vomiting, elevation of the pancreatic enzymes amylase and lipase in the blood and urine, fever, night sweats (see p. 263). • Inflammation of the pancreatic ducts: Repair phase: repair of the squamous epithelium, colicky pain in the repair phase crisis (p. 264). How to tell the difference • Strong smelling, possibly stinking night-sweats only with pancreas-tuberculosis. Due to inflammation of the pancreatic glandular tissue, pain from the beginning to the end of the repair phase. • In the case of an SBS of the pancreatic duct, pulling pain in the conflict-active phase without signs of inflammation, colicky pains in the repair phase crisis. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase, avoid recurrences. Depending on the intensity of the inflammation: painkillers, infusions etc. Remedies for the Pancreas • Eat organic food, especially Jerusalem artichoke. • Teas: mistletoe, centaury, fennel, peppermint. • Cayce: treatment with dehydrated castor oil. • Bach flowers: chicory, heather. • Pancreatin enzyme supplement therapy, if necessary. • Zeolite powder internally. • Kanne Bread Drink. • Cod liver oil. a Twenty-five years ago, a now 50-year-old manager married a woman who always made it clear to him that he was not the one she actually loved . The woman has always excluded him from the raising of their daughter, now 20 years old. He feels like a 5th wheel = territorial-anger conflict affecting the pancreatic duct > widening of the duct in the active-phase. Two years ago, he divorced his wife. The mother and daughter accused him of having deserted them. Luckily, he soon met another woman, who gave him the love he always longed for. Two months ago, his daughter suddenly approached him. She told him that her relationship with her mother was like a prison for her = conflict resolution > the abdomen swells up and is sensitive to pressure = cancer of the pancreatic duct. One weekend, he is admitted to the hospital because of colicky pains = repair phase crisis. His amylase and lipase levels are far above the norm. His gallbladder is unnecessarily removed. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increase in the sensibility of the great pancreatic duct (ductus pancreaticus) or its small branches, simultaneous slackening of the smooth ring musculature. Later, cell degradation (ulcer). Moderate pain. Bio. function Through the widening of the pancreatic ducts (= lumen enlargement) the pancreatic fluids can reach the duodenum quicker and easier. Repair phase Restoration of the “thinned out“ passageways due to increased metabolism = inflammation, repair of the lost substance = inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Healing swelling can temporarily block the flow > rise in the levels of the pancreatic enzymes (amylase and lipase) in the blood; syndrome aggravates the symptoms. At the end of the repair phase, the ducts open up again > normalization of values, the pancreatic ducts can remain altered by scarring (fibrosis), bulges and/or narrowing and possibly pancreatic stones. Often a recurring-conflict. Repair crisis Painful pancreas colic = cramp attack of the duct muscles, chills. Questions First, based on the symptoms, determine if the SBS is in the repair phase, is active or recurring. When did the repair symptoms begin? (Usually at the point of conflict resolution). What was I unable to endure before this? Which territorial stress was there? What pressured me? What are the deeper causes of the conflict? (Conditioning in childhood, parents’ experiences)? What beliefs/belief systems should I throw overboard? Therapy In the case it is recurring: Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs. Find out where the love is - there you’ll find the solution. Possibly anti-inflammatory or antipyretic medications. See also: remedies for the pancreas below. E C T O 266 KIDNEYS AND URETERS The two bean-shaped kidneys, weighing approximately 120- 200 g (4-7 oz) each, lie to the right and left of the spine behind the diaphragm. Their purpose is to filter blood plasma and make urine out of the residue. The kidneys regulate the body‘s water balance and acid-alkaline balance. The actual filtering process takes place in the mesodermal kidney parenchyma. The renal cells (glomeruli) create 180-200 l (50 gal) of primary urine a day. Of this, 80-90% is reabsorbed in the renal tubules, which also belong to the kidney parenchyma. Water is further removed in the endodermal kidney collecting tubules, so that only about 1% of the primary urine remains. This amount, about 1.5 l (3 pt) per day, passes through the ectodermal renal pelvis, the ureter and the bladder (vesica urinaria) before being excreted. Urethra Territory-marking conflict Kidney Parenchyma Water/liquid conflicts Kidney Collecting Tubules Existential or refugee conflict Renal Pelvis/Ureter Territory-marking conflict Bladder Territory-marking conflict Kidneys and Ureters SBS of the Kidney Collecting Tubules Fluid retention in the body, uremia, cancer of the kidneycollecting tubules (adeno-ca)1 At a certain moments, every SBS is important, but if we had to name the most important SBS, then this is the one. The significance of these little kidney tubules extends far beyond the kidneys themselves. All of the body’s other SBS are negatively influenced by an active SBS of the kidney collecting tubules and this is very important when it comes to therapy. The repair phase of any SBS worsens if a kidney collecting tubules SBS is conflict-active, because of the increased accumulation of fluids. For instance, a repair phase crisis of the heart - a heart attack - can have dramatic consequences. In the case of a bone SBS (e.g., of the spine), this can lead to excruciating pain. In the brain too, the pressure can become problematic if the healing Hamer focus is “pumped up“ due to an active kidney collecting tubules SBS. The term “syndrome:“ Dr. Hamer came to call the simultaneous existence of an active kidney collecting tubules SBS along with another SBS in the repair phase a “syndrome.“ For instance, lower back pain (= repair phase of a central self-esteem conflict) + active kidney collecting tubules SBS = severe lower back pain, possibly a slipped disk. When it comes to therapy for any syndrome, the resolution of the refugee conflict takes priority. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 25 E N D O 267 Kidneys and Ureters Conflict Existential or refugee conflict (e.g., losing one’s home), having too little water, conflict of feeling abandoned or isolated. One feels like they have been left with no resources, abandoned, defenceless or forsaken. Usually a chronic, persistent conflict as a result of conditioning (childhood, family). Examples a A woman is checked into the hospital. Nobody really has time for her. The doctors hardly check on her = refugee conflict. Note: This occurs frequently when a person goes to the hospital > growth of a tumor of the kidney collecting tubules in the active-phase, tubercular degradation in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A man is told he has cancer of the prostate gland = existential conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 15-year-old girl is placed in a boarding school against her will. The parents mean well - they want to put an end to her poor school performance. However, the girl feels terribly abandoned in the strange surroundings = refugee conflict. During this year, she becomes overweight. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 10-year-old boy has to move 700 miles away with his parents. He misses his friends and the familiar surroundings; he feels abandoned. At his new school, things go badly as well. Within two months, he becomes fat. Although he drinks a lot, he urinates only 2-3 times a day. Whenever he visits his old friends during vacation, he urinates more often and loses weight every time. (See gnmforum.eu). a Somebody has an outstanding loan from the bank. Due to a loss of collateral, the bank accelerates the loan repayment = existential conflict - conflict of not being “liquid.” (Archive B. Eybl) a A 41-year-old patient feels unloved by his mother. It begins at birth: For her third child, she wants a girl. A girl‘s name had been picked out and she is disappointed when a boy is born (and to make matters worse, with red hair). His hair is shaved by his mother three times. She hopes that brown hair will grow in its place. The patient explains that he never felt loved or cared for by his parents because of their constant fighting, only by his father later on = refugee conflict. Over the years, he gains up to 110 kg (240 lbs), and then, he loses weight again. He sometimes sweats at night due to repair phases. (Archive B. Eybl) a An older cat from the animal shelter has found a nice new home. When a second cat is taken in by the family, the older cat believes she will be abandoned again. Within a short time, she gains half a kilo (1 lb) = existential conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 58-year-old mother of two finds out that her husband is being unfaithful and files for divorce. Within a year, she gains 10 kilograms = active refugee conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increase in function; growth of a cauliflower-like adeno-ca of secretory quality or a flat-growing adeno-ca of absorptive quality (CM: “kidney cell cancer“); additional fluid retention > water, urine and other materials are retained by the body instead of being eliminated. In “good times“ these materials would be discarded; however, during an existential conflict (“bad times“) they are “recycled“ when possible > raised uric acid and creatinine levels > decreased urine volume and high concentration (dark urine). The body can eliminate all of the waste products normally destined for the urine with up to 150- 200 ml (5-7 oz) of urine per day (oliguria, anuria). The creatinine value then climbs to 12-14 mg/dl (CM: “uremia“). One or both kidneys can be affected, each with three renal calyx levels. A creatinine value of 12 mg/dl indicates that both kidneys are affected. Until the creatinine reaches this value, performing dialysis does not make sense according to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. CM: often begins dialysis at 4 mg/dl. In summary: The most important diagnostic indications for an active kidney collecting tubules SBS: fluid retention in the body (for instance: under the eyes in the morning, swollen knuckles, creatinine and urea or uric acid is (usually but not always) increased in the blood), inexplicable weight gain (acute conflict-active) or being overweight (chronic conflict-active), soft, rounded body shape. Sometimes, however, thin people are also affected. Endomorphs, craven people, collectors and people with messy tendencies, bargain shoppers, profitoriented and possessive people, stockpilers (e.g., of food, money) and people who tend to cling or like sitting. E N D O 268 Kidneys and Ureters Bio. function Retaining water and urea and other valuable substances, so that the individual can survive longer during a life-and-death emergency, when abandoned or when fleeing (seeking refuge). Repair phase Decrease or normalization of function. When preceded by long-lasting conflict activity: caseating, necrotizing degradation of the tumor = kidney tuberculosis, inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis) > increased elimination of fluids, drop in creatinine values, blood in the urine (hematuria), protein in the urine (proteinuria), heavy nighttime sweating, fever. If no fungi or bacteria are present, the renal pelvic outlets can become blocked (CM: “silent kidney“), despite conflict resolution. Repair crisis Chills, severe kidney pain Note There has always been a certain correlation between the moon and fluids. People with active kidney collecting tubules SBS “perceive“ the moon more intensely than others > increased fluid collection by waxing moon and full moon. Changes in the weather (just before precipitation) are also felt more intensely. Following recurrences, one can find heavily clumped renal calices (“medullary sponge kidney,“ “sponge kidney“) or calcium deposits in the kidney collecting tubules (CM: “nephro-calcinosis“). Questions Symptoms (weight gain, creatinine, etc.) since when? What happened? (Left by partner, death, fight, loss of employment, moving house, money problems, pain, worries about children)? There must be a conflict to be found here. However, the original conflict or the conditioning often took place much earlier. What conditioned me in this regard during my childhood? (Too little parental affection, deprivation, divorce, moving house, death of a family member)? Is this SBS also currently running in a parent? (Yes > work out the conditioning in the family: What did the ancestors experience)? The ancestors’ experiences should be equated with one’s own. How far back in the family tree does the conditioning reach? Questions for the grandparents: these conversations are enlightening, but also a part of the therapy - especially when one is searching for the love. With which meditation(s) could I help the family and myself? Which new thoughts should become my daily companions? Therapy • For nearly every illness, resolving an SBS of the kidney collecting tubules is the most important task. • Determine the conflict, conditioning and beliefs and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. • Guiding principles: “I am provided for.“ “I am sheltered and secure.“ “Even when I feel that I am all alone, there is always somebody there.“ “God protects me.“ • Salt baths with at least 0.9% salt (the sea - our original home). A concentration of 0.9% salt is called the “physiological salt solution“ because this is the concentration in blood plasma. Salt baths of over 0.9% are also good because they draw more water out of the body, which is the goal of the treatment. > Add about 2 kg (4-5 lbs) to a full bath tub. Cheaper variation: saltwater wraps. • Water treatments of all kinds, for example: sea vacations, thermal baths. • Regular sweating, sauna, infrared cabin, steam baths, or sweat-generating (aerobic) sports. • Drink enough clean and vital/structured water. Amount: follow your instincts. • No cortisone, that makes the kidney collecting tubules more sympathicotonic, which leads to even more water collection and a worsening of the symptoms (full moon face). • Make sure your home is cozy and comforting (nice furniture). • Wool underwear, soft comfy bed, possibly with wool padding. • Eat unrefined salt with your food, but do not salt too much. • Alkaline diet, no pork (binds water). • Lymph drainage massages to promote the elimination of water. • Colloidal silver internally: silver, the moon and the kidneys resonate with one another. • Therapy according to Professor Kopp: Professor Kopp accidentally administered an overdose of sodium bicarbonate to a patient who was critically ill with acute kidney failure. To his surprise, the patient’s condition improved significantly, although she had hardly been given a chance of survival. In the following years, Prof. Kopp (b. 1935) was able to save over 300 patients from dialysis, with the help of his sodium bicarbonate therapy. The therapy is based on the pH-value of the urine. Step 1 - Measure the pH of the urine. Several times a day, hold a testing strip in the urine flow. For this, I use Uralyt-U from Madaus. The ideal biochemical milieu for kidney elimination is a urine pHE N D O 269 Kidneys and Ureters value of 6.5 - 7.5. Thus, this is the goal for the kidney collecting tubules SBS patient. Step 2 - Therapy: Take as many tablets of sodium bicarbonate as needed to reach the goal. Begin with 3 tablets of 1 g daily; afterwards, the dosage is raised or lowered according to the urine‘s pHvalue. According to Dr. Kopp, if this does not bring about the desired water loss, one can also consume a diuretic, such as Lasix (available by prescription only). Along with the dose of sodium bicarbonate (with regular checking of the urine‘s pH-value), the diuretic remains effective - even when taken for years. Nonetheless, it is important to regularly check the blood‘s potassium level. Contraindications are metabolic and respiratory alkalosis and cardiopulmonary insufficiency. Inflammation of the renal corpuscles (“nephrotic syndrome,“ “glomerulonephritis,“ “IgA nephropathy“), multiple spaces (cystic kidney) Same SBS as above (see p. 266). The primary symptom for the conventional diagnosis is an excess of protein in the urine (proteinuria) or a protein deficit in the urine (hypoproteinuria) and fluid collection (edema). It is said that with the so-called nephrotic syndrome, there is too little protein in the blood because the kidney‘s cell filtering apparatus is defective. According to CM, this is why there is protein in the urine. In fact, this “illness“ is not an inflammation of the renal corpuscles but an inflammation, (i.e., the repair phase) of the kidney collecting tubules SBS. Phase Repair phase or persistent repair: when the illness is chronic, there are repeating tubercular degradation phases - lots of small empty spaces in the kidneys (cystic kidney). Note Protein in the urine: During the repair phase, the kidney collecting tubules tumor is broken down . The protein removed is washed out in the urine through the bladder and ureter > protein in the urine (proteinuria). Too little protein in the blood: If the conflict comes back, the cell buildup and cell degradation phases in the kidney collecting tubules alternate. During tumor buildup, the body takes in protein (mainly albumin) from the blood. In the repair phase, it eliminates this tumor-protein again. Night sweats contains large amounts of protein > sinking of the blood protein levels (hypoproteinemia) > lower blood protein levels promote edema in the body due to a lessening of the colloid osmotic pressure. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and if possibly resolve them in real life. Questions: see p. 268. Protein-rich diet and, if necessary, albumin infusions. The CM treatment, with drugs that lower the blood pressure, immunosuppressive drugs and cortisone, is not recommended. See also 268. Acute kidney failure, shock kidney (acute ischemic tubulopathy) Same SBS as above (see p. 266). Example a A 49-year-old farmer is going through a very difficult time: His wife divorced him and left him, taking their two daughters with her. He was left sitting at home alone on a mountain of debt = acute existential conflict. Diagnosis: acute kidney failure. For 18 months, he had to go for dialysis several times a week. Through incredibly hard work, he managed to pay off his debts and he meet a new partner = resolution of his existential conflict. His blood counts showed continued improvement and he no longer needed dialysis. With a very healthy diet and a lot of natural medicine, he was able to keep himself healthy. 22 years later, his creatinine level suddenly rose up to 3.9 again – When his daughter, now an adult, got a divorce = relapse based on the sympathy he feels for his daughter. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Sudden strong existential conflict: extreme water and urea storage > strong rise in creatinine and urea values, very little urine (oliguria or anuria). Note Usually caused by extreme pain, diagnostic shock or forced admission to a hospital. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. For measures, see above, especially Prof. Kopp’s therapy. E N D O 270 Kidneys and Ureters Kidney tumor (Wilms‘ tumor, nephroblastoma), kidney cavity (kidney cyst)1 Conflict Liquid conflict, conflict due to too much water or liquid, conflict when liquids or water becomes dangerous, “non-swimmer-in-the-sea“ conflict. Examples a A man comes home and discovers, to his dismay, that the basement is full of water, because the washing machine‘s intake hose burst. = Liquid conflict > cell degradation in the parenchyma of the kidneys during the active-phase, restoration or growth of a tumor in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman‘s beloved cat drowns in the swimming pool. She finds the animal floating lifeless in the water. = Liquid conflict. Three years later, a nephroblastoma is discovered by chance. She is advised to have chemotherapy at once. The woman dies. (Archive B. Eybl) a The “Case: Olivia” Olivia’s aunt took her out on a lake in an inflatable boat. Her aunt suddenly noticed that the boat was leaking air, so she screamed in a shrill voice: “Help! Help! We’re going to drown!” Olivia believed she was going to drown within the next few minutes = liquid conflict. > Necrosis in the active phase, cell growth in the repair phase. She was diagnosed with a Wilms’ tumor. (Cf. Helmut Pilhar, Olivia – Tagebuch eines Schicksals p. 564) a A woman suffers from severe incontinence = too-much-liquid conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman, now 40+, is five years old when she suffers a liquid conflict while playing with other children on the bank of a river. Suddenly, she slips into the water and is carried away by the current. Fortunately, an older playmate pulls her onto land again, but she remembers those terrible moments to this day. In the active-phase, a “hole“ forms in her kidney; in the subsequent repair phase, a 10 cm (3 in) cyst forms, which hadn‘t caused her any problems for 40 years. Note: the patient is “sensitized“ to the liquid conflict, because as an unborn child she came into danger in high water “with her mother.“ Since the water had already flooded the whole lower floor of the house, the pregnant mother had to flee to the attic = liquid conflict. (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 420) Conflict-active Cell degradation (necrosis) in one or more places > loss of kidney parenchymal (basic) tissue > in order that the filtering function continues unchanged, the organism raises the blood pressure = “compensatory hypertonia.“ The necroses are otherwise not noticed. Repair phase Out of the holes resulting from cell destruction, one or more fluid-filled kidney cysts develop (CM: “polycystic nephropathy“ or “renal dysplasia“). In the course of time, the cysts are gradually filled out with functional kidney tissue. After nine months, an “additional“ kidney has formed, with its own arteries and veins, etc. Connections to the neighboring organs (CM = “invasive growth“), having been necessary for the cyst’s own blood supply, dissolve when the cyst’s own circulatory connection is complete. In this “additional kidney,“ blood is filtered just like in the rest of the parenchymal tissue. The increased blood pressure is then superfluous > normalization of the blood pressure toward the end of the repair phase. Bio. function Increase in the filtering and urine-making capacity; in the future, an excess of water can be handled better (luxury group). Note There is no need to differentiate between the mother/child and partner side. “Handedness” is immaterial. Questions Determine the phase based on the symptoms (blood pressure, ultrasound, x-rays, general indicators). Which stress was experienced with water or other liquids? (Seaside vacation, water sports, kitchen/bath or work accident, sympathy with drowning victim(s))? What has conditioned me with regard to water? (E.g., childhood experiences - shoved into water, ancestors)? How could I come to terms with/reconcile this conditioning? How can I change the situation in real life? 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 69, 81 N E W M E S O SBS of the Kidney Parenchyma 271 Kidneys and Ureters SBS of the Renal Pelvis Inflammation of the renal pelvis (pyelonephritis), cancer of the renal pelvis1 Conflict Territorial-marking conflict. The territorial borders are not being respected, one cannot mark them. Explanation: Not being able to distance oneself from someone/thing or delineate one’s territory. Not knowing where one‘s territory (place) is. Not having the confidence to make a decision or not being allowed to make a decision oneself. In nature, the male wolves mark the outer and the females mark the inner borders of the territory. With men, it is usually about the “outer” territory (the job, car, club, etc.). With women, it is usually about the “inner” territory (partner, child, friend, home, etc.). In Lexikon der Neuen Medizin, Horst Köhler points out that the woman‘s most intimate territory is her own body. Gynecological examinations, involuntary or “tolerated“ sexual intercourse could be one reason why women suffer from urinary illnesses more often than men. The right renal pelvis or ureter > “feminine“ side = conflict of not being able to mark the inner territory. The left renal pelvis or ureter > “masculine“ side = conflict of not being able to mark the outer territory. Examples ➜ Not knowing where one should draw the line, not knowing how to define oneself. ➜ A child doesn‘t have his own room. a A woman is cheated on by her husband = territorial-marking conflict > unnoticed cell degradation in the renal pelvis. As she finally decides to leave him, she comes into the repair phase > restoration of the squamous epithelium of the renal pelvis = pyelonephritis. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman marries into a family in which she does not feel right. She doesn‘t know where her place is. She no longer has her “own realm“ = territorial-marking conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) a A salesman has a part of his sales area taken away, because he is not making enough sales = territorial-marking conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Degradation (ulcer) of the mucosa in the renal pelvis, renal calyxes or ureter (urothelium). Increased urge to urinate. No pain; therefore, usually unnoticed. Bio. function Through the relaxed ring musculature, the cross-section increases. > Improved elimination of urine so that the territory can be marked better. Repair phase Restoration of the urothelium, inflammation of the renal pelvis (possibly “cancer” of the renal pelvis as defined by CM), swelling, and blood in the urine (hematuria). With syndrome, the flow of urine can be impeded by repair swelling. Repair crisis Cramps, kidney colic, severe pain, chills, blood in the urine; during the colic (contractions of the ureter muscles) kidney gravel or calyx stones are pressed through the neck of the renal calyx into the renal pelvis or through the ureter, if they are present. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 117, 130 E C T O Therapy The conflict is resolved. No measures need to be taken, except to prevent recurrences. If the nephroblastoma is so large that it disturbs other organs, surgery is recommended - preferably after nine months, so that the tumor has had time to form its own circulatory system and has detached from its neighboring organs. In the case of complications due to lack of space, one should only continue to “wait it out” if they are absolutely sure that the conflict has been permanently resolved. 272 Questions Inflammation/pain since when? (Conflict resolution shortly before) Which territory was I unable to mark before? Did someone overstep the boundaries? (Partner, family member, place of employment, superior)? Was I unable to bring someone into my territory? (With women, this usually concerns their partner). Was my “No!” ignored/overruled? Why do I react so sensitively? (Determine the precise conditioning). Do I react similarly to my ancestors? Which new attitude could help? Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. If it returns, identify the conflict and/or trigger(s) and resolve them. Guiding principle (if recurring): “I have decided. Now I know what I want.“ “My territory is my realm.“ “I define the borders and they will be respected.“ Teas: sage, cranberry leaves, rose hip, lovage, horsetail. Colloidal silver internally. Drink a lot, e.g., natural beer. Antibiotics if necessary, if the repair phase is too intense. See also: remedies for the kidneys p. 273. Enlargement of the renal pelvis, sacculated kidney (pyelectasis, hydronephrosis) Same SBS as above. Phase Persistent repair: Enlargement of the renal pelvis or the ureter, usually in connection with kidney stones > necrosis of the parenchymal tissue of the kidneys (narrowed parenchyma-seam) caused by blocked urine flow. Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life, so that the persistent repair can come to an end. Questions: see previous page. See also: remedies for the kidneys p. 273. E C T O Kidneys and Ureters Renal artery stenosis (increased blood pressure from narrowed kidneyarteries) The narrowing of the main vessels leading to the kidneys means less blood reaches the kidneys. > Erroneously, the blood pressure receptors in the kidneys register low blood pressure > impulse to increase blood pressure (RAS) > increase in blood pressure (possibly acute), dizziness, morning headaches, possible lung edemas (shortness of breath). Conflict According to Dr. Sabbah: One is boiling with anger on the inside and can’t let off the steam. One feels worthless because of chronic existential problems (kidney collecting tubules). Issues of family, blood ties, total loss: demise of the bloodline. Example ➜ “My kidney values are extremely bad; how long will they continue to function?” Phase Recurring-conflict. Alternating phases of depletion and restoration of the renal arteries results in the formation of a fatty-protein material > CM: “renal arterial sclerosis/stenosis.” Bio. function Strengthening of the renal arteries. Persistent conflict and the resulting narrowing of the arteries doesn’t make any biological sense - nature is always assuming that conflicts will be resolved quickly. Questions Why am I angry? Why don’t I let it out? Which conditioning is responsible? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs. OP if necessary. SBS of the Kidney Arteries N E W M E S O 273 Kidneys and Ureters Kidney stones (nephroliths), kidney gravel Possible causes • Kidney collecting tubules - Recurring refugee conflict: calcium oxalate stones and/or gravel as mineral deposits from tubercular caseation = the most common kind of kidney stones (see p. 266). • Ureter and/or mucosa of the renal pelvis - Recurring territorial-marking conflict: uric acid stones and other stone types; healing swelling of the ureter > occlusion or flow blockage > damming of urine leading to sediment deposits and the formation of stones. In the course of a repair phase crisis, the stones are forced out through the ureter or urethra (see p. 271). Therapy Identify the conflict and/or trigger(s) so that no new stones form. Dissolution by “Lithosol“ (minerals, by prescription). If necessary, surgical stone removal or lithotripsy. Drink sufficient, pure, “soft“ water. See also: remedies for the kidneys next page. Cirrhotic kidney Possible causes • Kidney parenchyma: Recurring (= persistent) liquid conflict. Demise of the basic tissue of the kidney - converts to connective tissue (fibrosis). > Reactionary increase in blood pressure due to lack of filter surface (see p. 270). • Kidney collecting tubules - Recurring refugee conflict - nephrotic syndrome > scarred shrinkage (see p. 266). • Renal pelvis - Recurring territorial-marking conflict > chronic inflammation of the renal pelvis > scarred shrinkage (see p. 271). Kidney poisoning (acute toxic tubulopathy) This is not a conflict; rather, it is a poisoning by chemicals, metals (e.g., aluminum, mercury and other metals e.g., in vaccinations, chemtrails) and/or medications (antibiotics, painkillers, antirheumatics, antihypertensives, contrast agents, chemotherapeutic drugs, etc.). > Damage to the renal cells and tubules. Therapy Eliminate exposure to toxic substances. Also, see remedies for the kidneys. Remedies for the kidneys • Renal colic: warmth, physical exercise, muscle relaxing agents, painkillers; drink sufficient pure, “soft“ water. • Food: alkaline diet, especially celery, carrots, cucumbers, squash, asparagus, strawberries, beans. • Teas: nettle, goldenrod, birch leaf, fennel, speedwell, raspberry leaves, elderberry, lady‘s bedstraw, agrimony. • Juniper berry treatment according to Kneipp: Begin with four berries per day; afterwards, for nine days, take one more each day. Then go back to four. • Hildegard: elixir of absinthe, fennel mixed powder. • Massage the kidney area with camphor oil; reflex, zone massage. • Hot baths, sauna treatments. • Always be sure to keep the feet warm; possibly hot foot baths. • Natural borax. • MMS (the better antibiotic) for chronic conditions. • Kanne Bread Drink, zeolite powder internally. • The best time for kidney treatments: 5 to 7 p.m. 274 SBS of the Bladder Mucosa Inflammation of the bladder (urocystitis), cancer of the transitional epithelium of the bladder (urothelium cancer, urothelium papilloma, inverted papilloma)1 Conflict Territory marking conflict; the borders of the territory are not respected, one is not able to mark the borders of the territory. Conflict explained under renal pelvis SBS, p. 271 (with more examples). Examples a A patient can perfectly remember one of the most horrible experiences of her youth: She is 13 years old and her father, whom she describes as a “tyrant and sadist,“ deliberately kills her beloved rabbit for no reason. She wanted to “go crazy.“ Her father also overstepped her boundaries in other situations as well. She cannot defend her boundaries or mark them = territory-marking conflict. In the repair phase , she contracts an inflammation of the bladder. Since then, whenever she is ner1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 117, 130 E C T O Bladder and Urethra BLADDER AND URETHRA The bladder (vesica urinaria) as a hollow organ composed of smooth muscle. (According to Dr. Hamer, striated). The bladder collects the urine produced in the kidneys via both ureter and stores it until it is emptied over the urethra. The greater part of the bladder is lined with ectodermal tissue, so-called urothelium (transitional cells). Below it lies the endodermal bladder mucousa. The one exception: in the “bladder triangle“ (Trigonum vesicae), a small island of endodermal mucosa protrudes from beneath the urothelium. The bladder has two sphincter muscles at its transition to the urethra: the inner one (M. sphincter urethrae) is smooth and involuntary and the outer one (M. sphincter vesicae) is striated and voluntary. The discharge of urine is proceeds in the form of a repair phase crisis of the bladder muscles. (The repair phase crisis as a functional building block of nature.)

(Archive B. Eybl) a One evening, the mother storms into her daughter‘s bedroom because she is “endlessly“ talking on the telephone. The daughter cannot believe that her mother shamelessly barged into her “space“ > cell degradation in the mucosa of the bladder, restoration in the repair phase. She repeatedly gets a “bladder infection“ (= repair phase) when her mother interferes in her life = trigger. (See www.germanische-heilkunde.at/index.php/erfahrungsberichte). a For three years now, an 18-year-old has had a recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI), despite antibiotics, with blood in her urine and nighttime cramps. Her mother had the same complaints up until three years ago. Then it started with her (= indication of a family conflict). It started when she began dating her first boyfriend. She was 15, he was 28 – dominant over her in all respects. She was afraid it might not work because of their age difference = territorial-marking conflict. Her second boyfriend was 16, on the weak side, and she knew he wouldn’t leave her. > Now, she hardly experienced any more bladder infections = resolution. Her third boyfriend was a great guy, a little older, but suitable. He cheated on her once, so she was often jealous. After that, she went back to having persistent infections again = renewed territorial-marking conflict. In speaking with her, it became clear that she has not been able to cope with her parents’ divorce. Therapy: In a meditation, I told her on behalf of her father, “Maria, I was always incredibly proud of you. That your mother and I got a divorce has nothing to do with you.” She began taking transdermal magnesium for the nighttime cramps. After the first treatment, she has been symptom-free for four weeks. For “homework” she uses the following affirmation: People come, and people go – that is completely okay. (Archive B. Eybl) a Bladder-Urethra-Ca: A 76-year-old farmer handed over his business to his son two years ago in the hope that their ailing relationship would improve. However, it actually got worse – His son didn’t want to be told anything anymore. So, the patient and his wife were still running the company = territory-marking conflict. In our conversation, it became clear that the patient was following in the footsteps of his mother: possessive, not wanting to give anything away. The therapy was clear: He should hand over the business completely, give his son his blessing and leave him alone. An operation was unavoidable due to the size of the tumor. (Archive B. Eybl) ➜ Term “honeymoon cystitis“ (cystitis during their honeymoon). Conflict resolution of a female territorial-marking conflict by the exhilaration from their time together. Conflict-active Decrease in sensibility of the bladder‘s mucosa, the ureter or urethra. Simultaneous slackening of the bladder’s ring and/or sphincter muscles respectively. Later, cell degradation (ulcer). No pain, no bleeding. The need to distance oneself; one pays strict attention to the territorial boundaries, is irritated, hypersensitive. Bio. function With relaxed ring and/or sphincter muscles, the territory can be marked extensively. Repair phase Restoration of the mucosa = inflammation of the bladder, ureter, or urethra = bladder ca (urothelium ca), swelling of the mucous membrane, pain, burning sensation by urination, frequent urge to urinate (pollakiuria), possibly blood in the urine (hematuria) and occasional loss of urine. Due to the healing-swelling, the flow can be blocked, especially with syndrome > urinary retention, incomplete emptying of the bladder. Repair crisis Pain, blood in the urine, bladder cramps caused by the involvement of the bladder muscles; possibly chills, absence seizures. Note 90% of bladder tumors are urothelium ca. Chronic bladder infection, recurring-conflict > scarred thickening of the mucosa (urothelium metaplasia) > “irritable bladder.“ Therapy Questions: see SBS of the renal pelvis p. 272. In the case of an individual bladder infection: The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. If recurring, identify the conflict, trigger(s), conditioning and resolve them. Guiding principles (if recurring): “I know what I want.“ “My space is my space.“ “I define the borders and they will be respected.“ For bladder remedies, see p. 279. E C T O 276 Bladder and Urethra Bed wetting (Enuresis nocturna) Same SBS as above. Conflict Territory-marking conflict: No space of one’s own (room). Neglect of the child’s needs. May indicate sexual abuse in extreme cases. Sometimes also the opposite situation: the territorial borders are lacking (anti-authoritarian upbringing). Since the child doesn’t have any territory, they mark the only territory available - their bed. Examples ➜ Birth of a sibling (perceived neglect). ➜ Divorce of the parents, moving house. ➜ No room of their own. Phase Repair phase crisis: Participation of the bladder musculature. Questions Is the child reflecting something for the parents? Mother/father under pressure? (Fighting in the relationship, divorce, overwhelming work environments, financial pressure)? Does the child have their own space? (Room, preschool)? Conflict/jealousy due to siblings? Do they long for attention? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict, trigger(s) and conditioning. For bladder remedies, see p. 279. SBS of the Bladder - Trigon Mucosa Purulent bladder infection, bladder cancer (adeno-ca)1 Conflict Hardly digestible, ugly situation. Examples a A 45-year-old human resources manager of a company is informed, in front of her whole team, that from now on, she will be an assistant in the HR office and her office, which was “her living room,“ will be given to the new manager. Years later, the patient is still talking about this outrage. Shortly afterwards, she is diagnosed with bladder cancer, which is then abraded. However, it keeps coming back because she cannot overcome what happened. (Archive of Antje Scherret) a A civil servant is promised he will be appointed as the head of his agency within a year. He is preparing himself for this; however, he is suddenly confronted with the fact that a colleague, who he absolutely cannot stand, will get the post = hardly digestible, ugly situation > cell division in the deep-lying mucosa of the bladder in the active-phase, purulent bladder inflammation in the repair phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Tissue Bladder - trigon mucosa - brainstem - endoderm; usually the “bladder triangle“ (the region between the mouths of the ureters and the outflow of the urethra) is affected and also the regions under the superficial urothelium mucosa (submucosa). Approximately 10% of bladder tumors are of this type. Conflict-active Increase in function, growth of a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing tumor of absorptive quality = endodermal bladder cancer.

Repair phase Degradation of the tumor = purulent bladder infection, pus, blood in the urine, pain, night sweats. Repair crisis Chills, severe pain, blood in the urine. Questions Which ugly situation was I unable to tolerate? (Conflict, betrayal, disappointment, deceit in a partnership, at the workplace, between family members)? Why am I still preoccupied by this matter? What from my childhood reminds me of the issue? What has conditioned me additionally? Do my parents act in the same way? Which beliefs should I get rid of?

Which new inner 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 29 E N D O E C T O 277 Bladder and Urethra Irritable/overactive bladder, imperative urinary incontinence Constant urge to urinate, frequent urination with only small amounts of urine, is called an overactive bladder. Conflict A person‘s borders are not respected by others because they have not marked them clearly. One feels or puts themselves under pressure. One is unsure and easily influenced regarding one’s own decisions. Examples a A man must share an apartment with his son and his son’s family. He doesn’t like the situation and suffers greatly. Just to get to his own room, he has to walk through the others‘ living area. The man starts suffering from “irritable bladder,“ a conflict of not being able to mark his territory clearly. He wants to mark it, but cannot because he doesn’t want to upset the family. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 64-year-old, divorced retiree has to get up seven or more times in the night and then urinates only small amounts of urine. The doctors tell him his prostate is fine. Conflict: following his failed marriage, the patient cannot bear to think about marrying for a second time. However, his girlfriend of many years wants to marry = territorial-marking conflict affecting the involuntary bladder musculature. Often, when she comes home from work in the evening, she starts with the same unpleasant topic = recurrence. The evenings and nights at home have become “triggers“ for the patient. Conflict activity in the evenings and nights; thus, he has massive sleep disturbances. During vacations, the problem is reduced. (Archive B. Eybl) a An 8-year-old girl has to share her room with her sister. After a big fight over the toys, she wets the bed. = Territorial-boundary conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Heightened tension (hypertonia) of the bladder muscle, muscle thickening (hypertrophy) = so-called irritable bladder. Bio. function Strengthening of the bladder muscle so that the urine can be eliminated in a stronger stream in order to better mark one‘s territory. Repair phase Normalization of tension; the muscle remains thickened. Repair crisis Tonic-clonic bladder cramps, immediate urge to empty the bladder, “imperative.“ Note The symptoms are much like those of a recurring inflammation of the bladder‘s mucous membrane. The two are difficult to tell apart - they are possibly connected. The conflict contents are similar as well. Questions Imperative during which situations? (Indication of the trigger). Why do I allow myself to be put under pressure? Which personality structure makes this possible? Do I want to have good relations with everyone at any price? How do I deal with authority? Do I feel weak in comparison? What conditioned me? (Childhood, pregnancy, parental style, ancestors)? Which new attitude do I want to cultivate? Therapy Identify the conflict and conditioning and resolve them, so that the tension in the bladder lets up. Guiding principles: “I make my decisions with confidence.“ “I won‘t let myself be put under pressure.“ With children, create visible and practical solutions. For bladder remedies, see p. 279.

Surgery, if the tumor is too large. For bladder remedies, see p. 279. 278 Residual urine Conflict Not being able to sufficiently hold back one‘s urine. Examples ➜ Occurs frequently after prostate surgeries. a Eight years ago, a now 64-year-old patient was still not familiar with the 5 Biological Laws of Nature and agreed to prostate surgery. Since then, he is impotent and incontinent. When he carries something heavy, a few drops always spill into his pants = conflict of not being to hold back one‘s urine > strengthening of the inner sphincter muscle of the bladder. Years of conflict activity have made his urine stream weak, and he always has to press. (Archive B. Eybl) a A patient, now 62-years-old, remembers his terrible experience as a three-year-old, as if it was yesterday: his very dominant mother goes shopping, leaving him at home alone. Before going out she threatens the boy: “You‘d better not wet your pants, while I‘m gone.“ As the child‘s urge to urinate becomes greater, he hops about, constantly losing urine and dreading the consequences > increased tension in the inner sphincter muscles. Since then he must always be alone to urinate and always has residual urine. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increased muscle tension (hypertonia), problems when urinating, weak stream, residual urine because the inner sphincter muscle does not open completely. Usually a recurring-conflict. Bio. function Strengthening of the inner sphincter so that the urine can be withheld better. Repair phase Normalization of muscle tension; in the repair phase crisis, periods of incontinence and cramps. Questions First, determine if the symptoms come from the prostate. If no: residual urine since when? (OP, anesthesia, accident, embarrassing situation)? Substitution conflict? (Sympathy with others)? Which conditioning could play a role? (Parents, birth, pregnancy, early childhood)? Which thought(s) give relief? Which traditional belief do I want to throw overboard? Therapy Determine and resolve the conflict and conditioning in real life. Pelvic floor training, pubococcygeus muscle training - tensing up and relaxing exercises. For bladder remedies, see p. 279. SBS of the Inner Bladder Sphincter E N D O Bladder and Urethra Urine loss - stress incontinence Conflict Wanting or not being able to retain the urine (special territory marking conflict). Examples ➜ An elderly woman contracts a bladder infection and cannot control her urge to urinate = selfesteem conflict: “Now I am probably incontinent.“ ➜ A man doesn‘t dare to put his mother-in-law in her place because he is afraid of causing a family argument > he wants to “draw the line“ but cannot for family reasons = self-esteem conflict. Conflict-active Degradation of cells or limited innervation of the external bladder sphincter > the urine cannot be fully retained voluntarily = “weak bladder,“ stress incontinence. Loss of a small amount of urine when lifting, coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc. Usually a recurring-conflict. Repair phase Restoration (sphincter-hyperplasia) > recovery of innervation, possibly residual urine. Repair crisis Loss of urine because the sphincter muscle opens in an uncoordinated manner > incontinence. Bio. function Strengthening of the external sphincter muscle so that the urine can be retained better. Note During old age, this can also occur without a conflict: diminishing physical and muscular tension can lead to a slackening of the sphincter apparatus. SBS of the External Bladder Sphincter E C T O HFs motor function in top of cerebral cortex 279 Bladder and Urethra Residual urine - other possible causes • Prostate excretory ducts or prostate gland in healing: Swelling of the prostate excretory ducts is causing a backup in the bladder. This is probably the most common cause of residual urine in men. (See p. 304 and 302) • Urethritis: Temporary residual urine for the duration of the inflammation: the urethral squamous epithelium swells up, resulting in obstruction and residual urine (see p. 274). • External bladder sphincter in persistent repair: high tension in the bladder sphincter during the repair phase > residual urine (see stress incontinence p. 278)). Bladder stones, urinary stones •“Primary urinary stones“ form in the bladder. Here, either SBS is possible (see p. 274 and 276). •“Secondary urinary stones“ come from the kidneys and are triggered either by an SBS of the kidney collecting tubules or an SBS of the renal pelvis (see p. 266 and 271). Therapy Identify the conflict, trigger(s) and conditioning, so that no new stones appear. Drink enough fluids, “soft“ water if possible and eat low-protein foods. If necessary, surgical removal of the stones. Bladder remedies • Teas: sage (also recommended by Hildegard), fennel, club moss, chamomile, horsetail, common daisy (Bellis perennis), speedwell, oak, etc. • Kanne Bread Drink. • For acute repair phases: drink plenty of fluids, especially beer. • Massages for lower back, buttocks and legs. • Foot reflex massage, acupoint massage. • Keep the feet warm, take hot foot baths. • Full hot baths, possibly with salt or tea added. • MMS. • Antibiotics help with bladder and kidney pain. It makes sense for persistent repair. • Pelvic floor exercises, pubococcygeus muscle training - promote a strong bladder and vigor; for general energy - this body region is the basis of the life-energy (root chakra). • Best time for bladder treatments according to the organ clock: 4 pm. Therapy Identify the conflict, conditioning and resolve them in real life. Exercises for the pelvic floor and for breathing; buildup of body tension, regulate body weight. If necessary, bladder ligament or bladder lift surgery. For bladder remedies, see p. 279. 280 OVARIES The ovaries have the size and shape of two small plums and lie in the pelvis on either side of the uterus. Except for the corpus luteum, they are made up of mesodermal tissue. The immature egg cells (follicles) are available in limited numbers. At the appropriate time, a small number of them mature to be ova. The female hormone estrogen is mainly produced in the stroma cell tissue of the ovaries. The corpus luteum produces progestogen, the “pregnancy hormone.“ SBS of the Ovaries Ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer1 Conflict Loss or fear of loss of close relatives, friends or animals. In my experience, also an unfulfilled wish to have a child (for oneself or substituted for a daughter/ granddaughter). One doesn’t feel like they are able to take care of their offspring. Doubts about fertility/ability to procreate. Examples ➜ Loss of child, husband, partner, parent, friend, or animal, through death or separation. ➜ A child moves far away to another city; the partner dies or turns away. a A 26-year-old, right-handed woman is diagnosed with a 7 x 6 cm (2.5 x 2 in) cyst on the left (mother/child) ovary via ultrasound. Conflict history: Ten months ago, the patient learns that her married mother is having an affair. This comes as a great shock to her, for she believes in the ideal of marital fidelity. She suffers a traumatic-loss conflict, for the affair puts her mother at a distance. Six months ago, her mother ends the affair and the patient can forgive her at once. Their good relationship is restored and the patient is fully confident that her mother will not do such a thing again = beginning of the repair phase, growth of a cyst. Against the advice of her gynecologist, the patient decides against the removal of the cyst, which would have ended her chances of having children. (Archive B. Eybl) a A 70-year-old, retired woman has just made friends with a man she admires. Upon meeting at their first date, he has a stroke and sinks to the floor = traumatic-loss conflict affecting the right (partner) ovary. In the repair phase, a 700 g (25 oz), malignant ovarian tumor develops. CM classifies it as a “colon metastasis.“ (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Cell degradation (ovarian necrosis) = “holes“ in the ovarian tissue - generally unnoticed > reduced hormone levels > irregular menstruation, absence or withdrawal of menstruation; with a traumatic-loss conflict before puberty, the first monthly period (menarche) can be delayed. Repair phase Restoration, inflammation of the ovaries (adnexitis), swelling, pain; one or more cysts grow out of 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 68 ff, 80 Ovarian Parenchyma Loss conflict Corpus Luteum Severe-loss conflict N E W M E S O Ovaries 281 Ovaries the “holes,“ which begin to fill up with functioning tissue. Along with the histological findings, the size is of primary importance to the diagnosis of ovarian cysts or ovarian cancer. Increased estrogen production. At the beginning of the repair phase, the cysts attach themselves to neighboring organs, which is often mistaken as “invasive growth.“ The cysts detach themselves as soon as they have developed their own blood supply. One should wait and make sure that the conflict is permanently resolved before opting for surgical removal. Possibly also a recurring conflict. Bio. function Additional ovarian tissue (= tumor) produces more estrogen. This gives the woman more sexual drive (libido). She looks younger and ovulates better > increased chance of becoming pregnant > loss compensation. Note An ovarian cyst, with its additional estrogen, keeps a woman young. Consider side + handedness. Questions Diagnosed when? Were the ovaries normal at the time of the last examination? (Yes > conflict resolution afterward, because cysts first begins growing in the repair phase). Which loss affected me during the time period in question? (Death, a loved one (or pet) going away)? Wishing for a child for oneself or for someone else? Doubts about fertility/ability to procreate? (Self or substitute/sympathy)? Was there a death that affected me or was a tragic experience during my childhood? (Examine for conditioning). Did a family member die before or during the pregnancy? (Examine for conditioning). What are my thoughts about my own death? Am I at peace/can I deal with this concept? What do my parents think about it? Did ancestors have trouble/a hard time dealing with death/ dying? Which new attitude would be helpful/healing? Therapy The conflict is resolved, support the healing process. In the case of continued growth: Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs. Meditate about death and transience. Recognize that the soul is immortal and that death is a harmless transition into another world. OP, when the ovarian tumor is too large or continues to grow. See also: remedies for the ovaries p. 282. Congenital female underdevelopment (Turner syndrome) According to CM, Turner syndrome is a congenital, hereditary disease with the following primary symptoms: underdeveloped, non-functioning ovaries, small or no breasts and short stature. Life expectancy, however, is not limited. As always with hereditary diseases, we must turn our attention to the ancestors - in this case, the female ancestors. Conflict It is dangerous to be a woman; at least nobody may see that one is a developed/sexually mature woman. Examples ➜ The great-grandmother of a girl was raped during the war under dramatic circumstances. Conflict-active Limitation of the sexual development in particular and the physiological development in general. Multiple organs and tissue types are affected. Bio. function The underdevelopment protects against sexual assault. To remain as a child is safer. Repair phase A certain amount of post-maturing is realistic. Questions Are the female ancestors fully developed? Dramas in the family? (Rapes, humiliations; unforgiving, embittered women with regard to men)? How do I feel about my own femininity? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning of the female ancestors and attempt resolution. Conversations with the grandparents and aunts, a healing regression meditation for the women in the family. View the trauma again, dignify it and illuminate it with love. See also: remedies for the ovaries p. 282. N E W M E S O 282 SBS of the Endodermal Portions of the Ovaries Germ cell tumor (teratoma), ovarian abscess, dermoid cysts1 In this “special“ tumor, one not only finds endodermal tissue, but also skin and hair at times. For this reason, it is often called a “monster“ growth. According to Dr. Hamer, this originates in the corpus luteum in women. The teratoma represents a primitive attempt of duplication. This kind of reproduction is found in the simplest forms of life such as in bacteria. Here, the cell division takes place in the sympathicotonic, old brain schema. Conflict Severe-loss conflict Example ➜ Loss of a beloved person or animal, loss of a dear relative, friend or partner (death, moving away, quarrel, coma, marriage). Conflict-active Growth of a teratoma in women originating from the corpus luteum. Bio. function Reproduction by means of duplication so that the loss can be quickly compensated. Repair phase Stops growing quickly because of “embryonic growth spurt.“ Ovarian abscess: degradation of the tumor via fungi or bacteria. Dermoid cysts: empty spaces after completed repair. Therapy Determine the conflict, trigger(s) and conditioning and resolve them. OP if necessary. See also: remedies for the ovaries p. 282. 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 24 E N D O Ovaries Remedies for the ovaries • Bioidentical hormones according to the findings of Dr. Lee, Dr. Platt, Dr. Lenard and Dr. Rimkus. • Natural hormones in yam roots (important source), maca roots, beer (hops), blossom pollen. • Moor mud - internally and externally; moor mud contains a high concentration of natural estrogen. • Teas: hops blossoms, yarrow, chaste tree seeds. • Segment massages, foot reflex massages. • Sacroiliac joint mobilization. • Natural borax internally. 283 Fallopian Tubes and Uterus FALLOPIAN TUBES AND UTERUS The uterus (womb) is a pear-shaped, hollow muscle (myometrium) made up of the corpus uteri (body) and the cervix uteri (neck). The uterus and the fallopian tubes are lined with an endodermal mucosa (endometrium). It is covered with an ectodermal layer in the area around the cervix. The fallopian tube takes the egg from the corpus luteum and leads it into the uterus, where, if fertilized, it settles into the mucosa and develops, over several stages, into a baby. SBS of the Uterus and Fallopian Tubes Mucosa Cancer of the uterine mucosa (uterine adeno-ca, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer), thickening (hyperplasia) of the endometrium1 Conflict Sexual conflict, one feels disregarded, dishonored, dirtied, or offended as a woman. Conflict, being unable to provide a good nest for her child. Conflict regarding femininity. Themes: procreation, partnership, men, sexuality. Conflict with relation to the “obligations of a woman” (satisfying a man, having children, etc.). According to Dr. Hamer: “ugly, half-genital conflict.“ Examples a During the last few years, a 52-year-old married woman has become increasingly less interested in sex. Her husband, however, still has a strong desire to sleep with her. Although he is not demanding, she suffers from a sexual conflict with regard to the uterus. Repair phase: In summer, she goes off on vacation with two girlfriends for three weeks. The three get along well and have wonderful conversations. Suddenly, the patient gets an “inexplicable,“ heavy discharge lasting two weeks and sweats at night. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman was pregnant with her third child – and hoping to have a girl. After the amniocentesis revealed it was a boy, she suddenly experienced contractions in the 7th month – she was confronted by a premature birth. From that point on, she was terribly worried about her child. Able to recognize the connections, she developed a guilty conscience and, although able to carry to term, she spent the rest of her pregnancy worrying about her child. = Conflict, that she won’t be able to provide a good nest for her little one. She gave birth to a healthy boy. After breast-feeding him for 2 years, her guilty conscience returned. From that point on, she was running on a guiltyconscience track and has very heavy menstrual bleeding every month, even shedding portions of the mucous membrane. (Archive Antje Scherret) a A 41-year-old woman and her partner have been living together for 12 years. She suffers from 1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts pp. 24, 35 Cervical Mucosa Female sexual-frustration conflict, female loss-ofterritory conflict Uterus and Fallopian Tube Mucosa Conflicts related to sexuality Smooth Uterine Musculature Conflict, unwanted pregnancy, not being able to get pregnant and/or bear children E N D O 284 Fallopian Tubes and Uterus the fact that he doesn‘t want to marry her. On the occasion of a family jubilee, the family publishes a family chronicle with a family tree, in which she does not appear. The patient is shocked and feels “so cheap“ = sexual conflict > thickening of the mucosa due to cell division. The patient comes into healing when her partner proposes marriage > the thickened mucosa is discharged with a very heavy menstrual period. The patient sweats at night and is very weak. (Archive B. Eybl) a After separating from her alcoholic husband, a 60-year-old, retired woman finds a very nice partner, whom she likes very much. However, he leaves her - without warning and without telling her of his intention > sexual conflict. When she has gotten over this, she begins bleeding, although she no longer menstruates = repair phase. The gynecologist does a curettage. A histological examination reveals “malignant cells“ and her uterus is removed in a surgery, along with the ovaries. (Archive B. Eybl) a A woman with four children in their late teens learned about the New Medicine. A therapist explained why her 18-year-old daughter became developmentally disabled so early. The woman reproached herself for not having paid enough attention to her daughter’s needs. = Conflict of not having provided a good nest/not being a good mother. In the following months, she had very severe menstrual bleeding that also included clumps of tissue. (Archive Antje Scherret) a A 36-year-old woman has been living with a man for 10 years. He has promised to marry her. Suddenly, he disappears with another woman = sexual conflict. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, 2, p. 122) Conflict-active Increase in function; a cauliflower-like tumor of secretory quality or a flat-growing tumor of absorptive quality develops in the uterine cavity, flat-growing tumor = “thickening of the mucous membrane“ (endometrial hyperplasia). Often, a recurring conflict. Bio. function Thickening of the mucosa so that the ovum can embed itself better. Nature builds an especially thick and soft nest (flat-growing tumor). More secretion, so that the unwanted, sexual “problem“ can be eliminated better (cauliflower-like tumor). Repair phase Inflammation of the uterine wall (endometritis), removal during the monthly period: very heavy bleeding, shedding of the thickened mucosa or a tumor with bits of mucosa (decidua) in the blood; or removal outside of menstruation: stinking discharge (fluor vaginalis), possibly with light bleeding; in both cases, night sweats and pain. Afterwards function normalization. Repair crisis Chills or feeling cold, strong abdominal pain, excessive bleeding. Questions First, determine if it is in the repair phase or the active phase. (Night sweats, bleeding and pain are signs of repair). If still active: What happened during the time period in question? What did I suffer as a woman? (Disappointment, separation, abuse, unfulfilled desire to have a child)? Why did this issue enter my life? (Find the deep-seated cause). Did my ancestors have similar symptoms? (Indication of a family issue). Do we have spiritual/emotional similarities? How do/did my ancestors live out/experience their femininity? Which beliefs do I want to leave behind me? Am I ready to start anew? What do I want to change externally? Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Guiding principles: “What I experienced was unpleasant. Nevertheless, I look forward to the future with confidence!“ “What has happened has a meaning. Now I can begin anew, leaving it all behind me!“ Ritual cleansing, e.g., in the form of a bath. Natural identical hormones (progesterone, estradiol, etc.). If necessary, surgery. See also: remedies for the uterus p. 292. Fallopian tube cancer, inflammations (salpingitis, adnexitis) In principle, the same SBS as above (see above). In a fallopian tube is were the decisive union takes place, i.e., the fusion of the gametes. According to Daniel Stoica, this results in the following, additional conflict aspects: Conflict that the E N D O 285 Fallopian Tubes and Uterus conception did not happen. > In a further sense, conflict that one will not become pregnant and will not have a child. Examples a A 15-year-old schoolgirl is forced to sleep with a man = sexual conflict. She comes into healing with the help of a therapist, who helps her recover from the shock > now she gets a fever and abdominal pain. An inflammation of the fallopian tubes is treated in the hospital with a heavy dose of antibiotics. (Archive B. Eybl) a A married mother of three boys desired nothing more than a sweet little daughter. Unfortunately, after the birth of her youngest son, she let the doctors persuade her into having a tubal ligation. = Years of conflict over not being able to have another baby again. She entered the healing phase when her elderly father was unable to take care of himself any longer. She realized that it would have been impossible to take care of an additional child. A cyst on her right fallopian tube became inflamed and required surgery. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflict-active Increase in function, cell division in the mucosa of the fallopian tubes > thickening of the mucosa (adeno-ca) > increased secretions. Long-term conflict may result in fallopian tube cancer (tubal cancer). Bio. function With more mucus, the sperm can move along the tubes more easily. After conception, the fertilized ovum can be transported toward the uterus better. Repair phase Inflammation of the fallopian tubes - tubercular-caseating degradation of the thickened mucosa via fungi and bacteria. At the beginning of the repair phase, the fallopian tube can close up due to healing swelling (especially with syndrome), purulent discharge from the vagina (fluor vaginalis) or discharge into the abdominal cavity, fever, pain, night sweats. Note After several recurrences, the passage can be impeded by scar tissue > possible infertility. Therapy The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life if still active. Questions: see P. 284. Colloidal silver internally. Possibly, antibiotics or OP, if the repair phase is too intense. See also: remedies for the uterus p. 292. Pus collection in the ovary/fallopian tube area (tubo-ovarian abscess) Same SBS as above. Example • An 18-year-old Catholic woman falls in love with an attractive young man - her first love. From one day to the next, he leaves her. Contrary to his promises, he never broke up with his previous girlriend and has gone back to her. The girl feels dishonored as a woman > cell-growth in the mucosa of the fallopian tubes. When she gets over him, she becomes feverish (= repair phase: inflamCervix Mucosa Female sexual-frustration conflict, female loss-ofterritory conflict Smooth Uterine Musculature Conflict, unwanted pregnancy, Not being able to get pregnant and/or bear children E N D O 286 Fallopian Tubes and Uterus mation of the fallopian tubes). Due to the quantity of pus in the abdomen, the doctors decide to operate immediately. Due to another affair with this man, she relapses and after a few weeks: she gets the symptoms again (= repair phase). Adhesions in the fallopian tubes are diagnosed. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Recurring-conflict or persistent repair: purulent dissolution of tissue where the fallopian tubes meets the ovary (fimbria ovarica), encapsulation and adhesions as a result of recurrences, possible outcome: infertility. Therapy Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the healing can complete. Questions: see p. 284. Colloidal silver internally. Possibly, antibiotics and surgery when the repair phase is too intense. See SBS of the uterine mucosa on p. 283. See also: remedies for the uterus p. 292. Ectopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy) Same SBS as above (see p. 283). Where there is an absence of menstruation, a positive pregnancy test and unusual abdominal pain, there could be a tubal pregnancy. Phase Conflict recurrences can lead to adhesions, narrowings, and bulges in the fallopian tubes > every inflammation leaves scar tissue behind > prevention or delayed movement of the ovum into the uterus, the ovum embeds itself in the place it is located on the 6th to 7th day following fertilization > tubal pregnancy. Therapy Surgery to end the pregnancy. Endometriosis One speaks of endometriosis when uterine mucosa cells grow outside of the uterine cavity and act according to the menstrual cycle in this location (regular monthly bleeding). Endometriosis is most often found on the outer wall of the uterus, the ovaries, peritoneum or intestines. Conflict According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Conflict of believing that one cannot offer a good home to their child. Often, this affects women who have had bad childhoods and wished that they would have had different parents or a different home. Belief pattern: “It would be better to have no child than to raise one where it would have to be raised.” Always keep the ancestors or a substitution conflict in mind (see example below). According to Dr. Hamer, endometriosis comes from a ruptured ovarian cyst after a loss conflict (p. 280). Example a An endometriosis was diagnosed in the abdomen of a 40-year-old mother of one. Cause: Her grandmother was a gorgeous woman and as a maid, was impregnated four times by four different men. She died while trying to abort the last child herself. (Archive B. Eybl) Phase Persistent, active conflict. Growth of endometriosis foci outside of the uterine cavity. Cyclical build-up and break-down of mucosa. Often, fertility is limited by growths on the fallopian tubes or ovaries. Menstrual pain, possibly abdominal, back or pelvic pain. Bio. function Creation of an emergency nest, because one feels their actual home (uterine cavity) is unsuitable. Questions Actual hardship with regard to having a good nest? Stress during pregnancy/birth with regard to the future home? Substitution conflict? Which of these dramas did my female ancestors experience? (Pregnant/giving birth as a refugee, disowned by the family, adoption, rape)? Which meaning does “home” have for me/for my family? Therapy Determine the conflict, triggers and causal family conditioning and resolve. Healing meditation for the ancestors/family. Warm wraps, infrared cabin. Possibly OP.

E N D O 287 Fallopian Tubes and Uterus SBS of the Cervix Mucosa Cervical cancer The areas for the cervix and the coronary veins are located very close to one another the left side of the left in the cerebrum. - For this reason, these two important SBS are usually synchronized. This area represents the center of the female territorial area and has great significance, not just biologically. (For more explanation and case examples, see p. 196). Conflict Female sexual-frustration or loss-of-territory conflict. Examples ➜ Not being mated with, being abandoned, rejected. ➜ Being impregnated against one‘s will or at the wrong time (with force/rape). a After the birth of a child, the husband of a 27-year-old woman has an affair. She can handle that relatively easily, but after he repeats his offense, she gets a female loss-of-territory conflict > no menstruation for a month (conflict-active phase). A gynecological examination results in an increased pap-value. Previously, it was always normal. (Archive B. Eybl) a In kindergarten, a girl is “sexually molested“ by a boy of the same age = female loss-of-territory conflict. Cell degradation in the cervical mucosa in the active-phase, restoration in the active-phase. (Archive B. Eybl) Conflicts often arise when children “play doctor.“ a Following a broken marriage, a midwife lives alone without a partner. One day, she meets a man and decides that he is “Mr. Right.“ Within a short period of time, the two move in together. However, a few days later, the man disappears suddenly, without any reason = female loss-of-territory conflict. Six months later, she meets another man and a stable relationship develops = healing of the female loss-of-territory conflict. Shortly afterwards, she notices bleeding. The gynecologist diagnoses cervical cancer and schedules a surgery to perform a cervical conization or a hysterectomy. However, the patient changes her mind and begins to study the 5 Biological Laws of Nature. After she recovers from the repair phase crisis with a minor lung embolism, she enjoys perfect health. (See Claudio Trupiano, Thanks Dr. Hamer, p. 325) Conflict-active Increased sensibility of the cervical squamous epithelium mucosa, slackening of the ring-musculature of the cervix. Later, local cell degradation, usually unnoticed. Due to involvement of the coronary arteries, possible mild angina pectoris. Reinforced sex drive, jealousy, tendency to hysteria (uterus = greek “hysterika“). Bio. function Through increased sensibility, the woman can sense more. The relaxed cervix makes penile penetration easier > favorable conditions for conception > solution of the conflict. Repair phase Restoration of the mucosa via cell growth = cervical cancer, pain, inflammation (cervicitis), temporary healing swelling of the mucous membrane, bleeding outside the menstrual periods and/or severe and lengthy menstruation.
