Dr. Hamer’s first major discovery, this law describes the cause and course of all so-called “diseases” which seemingly appear out of nowhere, including chronic illness, allergies, cancer and pyschoses.  (GHk does not apply to poisoning, severe malnutrition or direct physical trauma).

In GHk the words “disease” or “illness” are no longer used, as we find out that these processes have a very specific biological purpose.  Here we find the psyche finally put back in its rightful place in biological processes, having been put aside by conventional medicine over the last 100 years or more.

First Criterion:  All Significant Biological Special Programs (SBS) are caused by a Dirk Hamer Syndrome (DHS): an acute & dramatic, unexpected, and isolating conflict shock experience (it must have all three elements underlined), which always occurs simultaneously on three levels: pscyhe-brain-organ.

Second Criterion: The biological conflict at the moment of the DHS determines the localization of the SBS in the brain as the “Hamer Focus” as well as the localization on the corresponding organ tissue.

Third Criterion: The development of the SBS on all three levels (pscyhe-brain-organ) is a synchronous process, from the moment of the DHS through all points of the program until returning back to regular health .

Given there is a resolution to the original biological conflict, the SBS will run its course through two distinct phases.

At the moment of the DHS a prolonged conflict active phase begins where you are in heightened sympathicotonia.  That is, the autonomic nervous system is in a sympathetic stress phase to help you to find a resolution to your shocking experience.  You’ve got cold hands and feet, less appetite, extra energy with accelerated breathing and heart rate, your psyche is obsessed with the event, and you don’t sleep well.  It’s a state of permanent stress.  Other than the symptoms here mentioned, which can often go unnoticed in our stressful society, it is rare to sense other conflict active symptoms during this phase, unless it continues for a prolonged time.

After Conflict Resolution (“Conflictolysis”), the restoration or healing phase begins, known as pcl-Phase (“post Conflictolysis phase”), where you are in a lasting vagatonia.  That is, your vagus nerve takes over your autonomic nervous system in order for you to rest and repair.  You now have warm hands and a good appetite, but you also experience fatigue, fever, headaches, inflammation, pain and other more specific symptoms of healing on the organ level.  It’s the uncomfortable and painful phase of an SBS, sometimes extremely so, due to increased swelling on both brain and organ levels (healing always happens in a fluid environment).  During this phase is normally when people run to the doctor, though all the symptoms here experienced are, in fact, the signs of resolution and healing!

The pcl-Phase is interrupted by the Epilelptic/Epileptoid Crisis in the middle, which is a brief return to heightened sympathicatonia in order to push all the swelling out of the brain and organ.  You can experience yet again the symptoms of the conflict active phase.  After this crisis, which can often happen in the middle of the night, you need to get rid of all that liquid and find yourself in the pee phase!  Following this, you return to vagatonia and the pcl-phase moves towards the finish line.  The discomfort now diminishes daily as scarring takes place on both the organ and brain levels.  Then there’s a return back to normal health!

This is where the genius of Dr. Hamer’s findings are really evident.

The biological changes which happen in each SBS are determined by embryology!  Each organ, corresponds to a specific germ layer – and sometimes multiple layers – which in turn have their correspondence to different parts of the brain.

In the conflict active phase, you could experience either cell/tissue proliferation or cell/tissue necrosis/ulceration, depending on the germ layer and the part of the brain in charge of that layer and the biological purpose of the change.  Remember, the body’s goal is for you to resolve the stressful event and all of these purposeful changes have the goal of helping you accomplish just that.

After conflict resolution, in the pcl-phase the body reverses the changes in tissue which it made in the conflict active phase.  Therefore, either tissue needs to be broken down and cleaned out.  Or the ulceration/necrosis needs to undergo reconstruction.  This phase always takes place in a fluid environment, i.e. edema or swelling.

On a special note, in one part of the brain, the cerebral cortex, there is also the possibility of functional loss in the conflict active phase and return to normal functioning in the pcl-phase.

It can seem confusing at first, but to resume, all SBS’s are controlled by a particular brain area, which determines exactly the process of that SBS and the symptoms you will experience.  All of this is determined when we are still embryos, developing each tissue layer!

The Hamer Compass helps you understand at each moment where exactly you are in an SBS and what to expect on all three levels, given as they run synchronously.

Here’s where you can get rid of so much fear!

Microbes are NOT the cause of disease!  That is the old and outdated germ theory which has been disproven a number of times.  They have historically got a bad rap because they are present at the “scene of the crime”.  However, think about fire fighters.  They are also found at the scene of the crime!  So did they cause it?  Or are they there to clean it up?

Microbes actually are an essential part of the living organism which we call our body, and are directed by the brain during the pcl-phase to become part of the repair process.

We have a symbiotic relationship with the microbes in our bodies.  Always present, they step in to help only during a pcl-phase, where, depending on the germ layer, they will either assist in a) tearing up cell/tissue growth which happened during the conflict active phase, or b) reconstructing tissue after ulceration/necrosis happened.  Then they go dormant again.

Depending on how long the conflict active phase was, the pcl-phase can sometimes be quite intense and call on a large number of microbes (fungi, mycobacteria, bacteria) to help clean up the mess, so to speak.

If we are constantly killing off or avoiding these microbes we will experience more difficult pcl-phases as we won’t have the possibility to heal in a purely biological way with these precise little surgeons who live in our body.  This can leave us with poorly restored organs after an SBS, where the body has to resort to encapsulation of a tumour or calcification of tissue.

Understanding the role of our marvelous microbes helps us to be more discerning in the use of anti-microbials or antibiotics so that we can be somewhat comfortable during the healing phases without completely interrupting the work of the ones who are helping us to heal!

Dr. Hamer recommended drinking raw milk to ensure always having proper bacteria.  Getting in the dirt, petting animals, not being too obsessive with hygiene, avoiding alcohol disinfectants, etc., will help to improve the microbial life inside of us which we depend on for our healing!

All Significant Biological Special Programs have meaning and fulfill a particular purpose!

We come full circle to where we began – with the essential knowledge that our bodies are always doing something meaningful.  Never random.  They are not making mistakes.

This differs greatly from what is termed “psychosomatic.”  It’s not about your psyche creating problems in the body.

The psyche is part of your biology and your survival.

The body follows biological laws in order to help us best survive and solve each shocking experience, from the most minor to the greatest traumas.

Due to a very specific DHS, an exact SBS takes place, determined by the subjective perspective of the individual pscyhe, controlled by an exact part of the brain and creating tissue changes on an exact part of an organ.  All for a very specific survival purpose.  Nothing is coincidental or arbitrary.  This encompasses every single known so-called “disease”, including cancer, which was exactly what initiated Dr. Hamer’s study, leading to the discovery of the five biological laws.

We label the expression of symptoms as disease because until these discoveries we have been ignorant of the meaning of these bodily processes.

In understanding the role of the psyche and the body’s purpose in making instantaneous changes, we can begin to learn and grow from these processes, as our bodies teach us how we see and react to our world.
