From Chronic Illness to Clarity: How German New Medicine Inspired the RootCause App

From Chronic Illness to Clarity: How German New Medicine Inspired the RootCause App
February 6, 2026 12 min read Our Story

When one speaks of a paradigm shift, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of it. There may be an "aha" moment or sudden realization, but oftentimes it's preceded by many smaller steps that pave the way to the new understanding. I did not simply stumble across German New Medicine one day while on social media and say, "Oh yes! That must be the way our bodies work!" Rather, I was primed through many years of my own health journey to receive the information and not dismiss it out of hand. So when discussing the origin of the RootCause app, I would say it began with a car accident in 2016.

The Accident That Changed Everything

Prior to this freeway accident, I had been in excellent health. I had recently quit alcohol altogether, had shifted to a plant-based, organic whole foods lifestyle, and was exercising at a high level of performance. After this accident, however, I felt deeply depressed and sick for several weeks, and when I finally emerged from the shock of it all, I felt completely different in my body. Any time I would exercise, I would develop flu-like symptoms for days afterwards. I was sick with bronchial and sinus issues at least one week out of every month, and my energy level felt shockingly low. I started developing allergies to certain foods, and overall I just knew something was wrong. It was like night and day, pre-accident and post-accident.

A peaceful moment in nature representing the healing journey

Down the Rabbit Hole of Alternative Medicine

When allopathic medicine failed to address my issue, I began a long journey into alternative medicine and healing. Eventually I stumbled across something called Mast Cell Activation Disorder, a little-known condition that relates to genes in charge of mast cells. This at least seemed to make sense of what I was experiencing from an epigenetic standpoint — the gene is often flipped by a sudden trauma, and then symptoms arise related to mast cells. I adapted my lifestyle to this information, and received some relief. But it was by no means cured, just managed, and I still felt hopeless at times about this condition.

When I met Andrey in January of 2020 in India, I was generally in pretty good shape. But I was still eating gluten-free, avoiding non-organic food, careful never to push past my physical limits when exercising, avoiding getting too hot or too cold, and making a host of other modifications. By this point I was also deep in alternative research communities, and had realized that many things we were sold as good, such as vaccines, were nothing of the sort. I was particularly sensitive to the harm caused by pharmaceutical companies, and had lost almost all faith in allopathic medicine aside from emergency surgery. So when the COVID pandemic rolled around, I was the first one in Goa to shout "conspiracy!" from the Goan rooftops.

Questioning the Narrative

During those first several months of lockdown, I buried myself in books and podcasts dissecting every inch of the so-called COVID virus. From Kary Mullis and the PCR tests, to Antoine Bechamp's terrain theory, to the SPARS document, I felt like a mad scientist scribbling away on a whiteboard, until I finally came to the conclusion that our current model of germ theory is mistaken. To my 25-year-old self this would've seemed blasphemous, verging on lunacy, but here I was, living in upside-down world, where black was white and 2+2=5 and rushed emergency vaccines meant to protect people were killing and maiming them. And then Facebook was censoring them for sharing their stories! I wish I was joking.

In order to not lose myself in the darkness and scariness of that time, I started painting portraits of people who had either been injured or killed as a result of the COVID vaccines. I grew a following on Instagram quite quickly, where I was sharing their portraits and stories. I had to code the words in order to not get banned off of the platform, so vaccines became j@b$, Pfizer became pfiiiis3r, etc. These were people who, just like me after my car accident, had gone from perfectly healthy and normal before the injection, to wheelchair-bound in nonstop pain and seizures immediately after. Yet if they spoke out, they were blocked, shouted at, ignored, denied, gaslit, and worse. Any shred of trust I may have had in modern medicine at that point had been completely annihilated.

Discovering German New Medicine

So when I posted about having dengue fever to my Instagram followers in January of 2022, and one of them responded "you don't have dengue, look into GNM," I eagerly opened up my browser, and spent the next few weeks devouring all I could about it.

And it all made sense. On a practical, applicable level, on an emotional and mental level, on a spiritual level. Our bodies are perfectly designed to live on this planet, and the 5 Biological Laws show that what we call disease is our bodies assisting us during conflict and then healing us when it's resolved. It was truly a revelation, and especially in the midst of so much chaos and confusion, it felt like some of the most important information available to us on planet Earth.

Mind-body connection and holistic wellness

Putting GNM Into Practice

I began applying the knowledge to myself immediately, and quickly resolved the tracks I had around food. All those allergies to histamine foods because of MCAS? Gone. I felt relief from so many of the symptoms I'd previously experienced simply by putting all of the pieces together. (It's not always that easy to resolve conflicts or tracks, but sometimes it can be). I used this knowledge to sit with a UTI in the healing phase, and sure enough, I hit the repair crisis, then I slowly felt better until it was completely gone. No need for antibiotics. I saw how it applied to past illnesses, to cancers my friends had had, to sinus infections and bronchitis and everything else that came up for me.

I was eager to share this incredible system with others, but I found I could only really talk about it with a few other people who had similarly had their own journeys of unwinding the official medical narrative. Even those who were staunchly into holistic medicine still had a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that viruses and bacteria are not responsible for disease. But over the years, more of my friends began approaching me with their issues to see how GNM accounted for them. Happily, I would spend hours unpacking it with them.

The Birth of RootCause

And that was how RootCause came to be. My husband saw me helping others understand their health issues from a GNM perspective, and wanted to expand that to a larger scale. A global one. We both feel that GNM is of vital importance at this moment in human evolution, and we want to help people start shifting their own paradigms as gently and easily as possible. We know from our lived experience how difficult it can be to reprogram beliefs around health and medicine, but when you see it in action in your own life, it becomes more and more clear that our bodies do function according to the 5 Biological Laws and are not at the mercy of every little microbe. It is freeing and empowering. We wholeheartedly hope that users of this app will find renewed confidence in their bodies, in nature, and in the world at large.
