Understanding German New Medicine: A Revolutionary Approach
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to GNM
Have you ever come across the term German New Medicine (GNM)? This innovative approach, founded by German physician Professor Ryke Geerd Hamer, emerged from his personal tragedy and subsequent health crisis. Following the untimely passing of his son and his own battle with stage 4 cancer, Dr. Hamer not only healed himself but also unveiled profound insights into the nature of illness. He began to question the link between his cancer and the grief he endured. As a trained oncologist, he engaged with numerous cancer patients and discovered a common thread: nearly all had experienced significant emotional distress before their diagnosis, which they struggled to process.
This pivotal realization led Dr. Hamer to delve deeper into the relationship between psychological trauma and physical illness, culminating in the development of German New Medicine.
Section 1.1: The Foundations of GNM
What did Dr. Hamer uncover through his research? He identified that the onset of illness is often preceded by a negative emotional event. However, not every adverse experience results in disease; three key elements must converge: drama, isolation, and surprise.
- Drama: This refers to an event that is emotionally charged and carries a negative connotation.
- Surprise: The unexpected nature of the event plays a crucial role.
- Isolation: The individual perceives the event as something that is uniquely happening to them.

Section 1.2: From Psychology to Physical Health
How does emotional turmoil translate into physical illness? In the intricate interplay of the psyche, brain, and body, the mental aspect is essential. When the psyche struggles to resolve a conflict or problem, the brain responds by initiating a physical reaction, allowing the individual to cope with the situation. This transfer of conflict into the body often manifests as what we classify as disease.
German New Medicine represents a significant advancement in understanding the triggers of illness, leading to effective strategies for addressing the root causes—biological conflicts often tied to unmet human needs. Resolving these conflicts is crucial for the survival of an organism. For instance, the body might strengthen an organ by thickening its walls or increasing mucus production to combat perceived threats.
Yet, in humans, a substantial proportion of survival threats are not tangible but rather imagined. Recognizing the underlying causes of our issues allows the psyche to resolve them without resorting to bodily symptoms.
Wishing everyone a balance of mind and body, a true reflection of health!
