German New Medicine: Discover the Emotional Blueprint Behind Every Disease
Why Resolving Emotional Conflicts Is Key to Recovery
Let’s dig into the intriguing world of German New Medicine (GNM). Developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer in the early 1980s, GNM flips the script on how we view illness, suggesting that every disease is the body’s meaningful response to a deeply-felt, unexpected trauma.
What Is German New Medicine?
At its core, GNM teaches that all natural diseases—from a simple cold to cancer—start with a biological conflict shock: a sudden, intense, and emotionally significant event. When we experience such a shock, it impacts us in three ways:
Our psyche (emotional mind)
Our brain (with identifiable traces)
A corresponding organ in the body
Each specific type of emotional trauma registers in a precise area of the brain, which then influences a particular organ or tissue. For example, a territorial anger conflict is reflected in your stomach, while a separation conflict is mirrored in your skin. The process unfolds in two phases: the stress phase (when the conflict is active) and the healing phase (after the conflict is resolved).
Mapping Conflicts to Disease
GNM is famous for its detailed charts mapping particular emotional experiences to specific health conditions. Here’s an overview that summarizes some of the major relationships:
Type of Emotional Conflict + Associated Organ/Tissue & Disease
Understanding Disease Through the GNM Lens
GNM suggests that exploring your emotional history might be just as crucial as any test or scan. Its model sees the symptoms not as random, but closely tied to your life experiences—once the specific conflict is resolved, the body moves into a healing and repair phase.
The Five Biological Laws
Quick rundown of GNM’s foundational principles:
Every disease starts with a conflict shock.
Every disease has two phases: the active phase and the healing phase.
The organ affected relates to both the conflict type and the tissue’s origins.
Microbes support the healing phase, not cause disease.
Every disease is purposeful and adaptive.
German New Medicine invites us to look at health through the lens of personal experience, tracing each symptom to a story or turning point in life.
