German New Medicine: What Is REALLY Making You Sick? With Melissa Sell

🖨️ Print post

What if your body isn’t malfunctioning but adapting? Could trauma or conflict be the root cause of the dis-ease you’re experiencing?

Dr. Melissa Sell, a chiropractor and New Medicine consultant, shares an insightful overview of Germanic New Medicine (GNM), a radically different approach to healing. Many of us spend years overhauling our diets or trying new protocols for gut issues, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illnesses—often without lasting results.

Melissa explains the fundamentals of GNM, highlighting how a root conflict or emotional shock can trigger the body’s adaptation process, leading to symptoms, healing, and eventual resolution. She shares her personal journey of overcoming acne through GNM and why she believes every life conflict serves a purpose, helping us grow and learn.

What if the root of all sickness has to do with conflict or trauma? What if the disease has to do with the Psyche Brain Organ Connection? This is episode 511 and our guest is Dr. Melissa Sell. Melissa is a chiropractor and an expert on German New Medicine. Melissa gives us an overview of what German new medicine consists of. It’s a dramatically different approach to healing based on the work of Dr. Hamer. Melissa reviews the five biological laws of the German New Medicine method and philosophy.

She explains how there is often a root event that leads to the body’s adaptation, later healing, and resolution. With that said, while the body’s immediate response to conflict or trauma is protective, it can sometimes lead to long-term issues. Melissa tells us her story of how German New Medicine helped her heal from issues related to acne and why she wishes more people understood that every conflict and problem in life has its purpose in part to teach and grow us.

How A Woman Healed Through German New Medicine

Our audience wants to know more about German New Medicine. Let’s start with a story of someone on their healing journey, maybe a client of yours or someone you’ve encountered who tried all the routes, conventional and alternative medicine, for healing but found out at the end of the day that their illness was related to trauma.

I’ve got a wonderful story of a woman in her mid-40s who is dealing with very terrible psoriasis all over her chest and stomach. This is a scaly, uncomfortable, thick, itchy rash where you are constantly dealing with either flakes or inflammation. She tried all of the things. She was seeing a very popular Instagram naturopath. She was doing a sauna, grounding, and getting sunlight on it. Also, nutrition supplements. She was taking ginger lymph massage, skin brushing, and black seed oil. She even went as far as to do Humira. She was like, “Let’s do all the natural things. Let me even try to get some relief from this endless uncomfortable skin situation.” We met.

What we’ll talk about is what happened. Something had to have happened in her experience in her life that caused her tissues to adapt in this particular way. The outer skin is associated with a separation conflict. We needed to identify who were you feeling separated from. Who did you want to hold close to you that you couldn’t hold close to you? What was going on? Was there someone you wanted to separate from? We pinpointed the date when her divorce was finalized.

This was a good thing. She was happy to have a divorce. However, the divorce meant that her child was going to have to separate from her to visit the father. This became her big conflict. Even though she was doing all of the right things, lifestyle-wise and nutrition-wise, this conflict was in her psyche and soul that periodically her child would have to leave her. Even looking at the location of the psoriasis was in between her breasts, on her chest and stomach, where you hold your child.

She felt that she was allowing her child to leave her to go to this emotionally unsupportive person. She’s afraid the child’s going to be traumatized every single time. There’s a separation every time. There was a phone call. Every time, there was a court case about it. She was stepping on the track of her separation conflict. She had to go inside and look. This is one of those situations and we’ll talk about the various options. Ideally, we want a practical resolution. The practical resolution would be your child gets to stay with you all the time. He never has to leave and go to be with someone else but given the legal situation and the father, the child had to go.

This is the situation. She had to work it out inside, become less resistant to this, and shift her perspective. Every time she thought about the situation, instead of cringing and being resistant, angry, and upset about it, she had to do something different. We worked through a lot of different internal strategies. Through awareness, watching her thoughts and reactions, and realizing, “If I keep doing this, I’m going to keep getting this outcome,” she shifted things inside, resolved her conflict, and had incredible changes.

Almost 99% of the skin situation was resolved. There were still tiny tracks around it but the majority of this conflict for her was after she made the connection and then had to change something. The core of this is you have to see what the conflict is about. If it’s ongoing and these symptoms are chronic, there’s something chronically going on about this conflict for you. You have to identify what it is and find a solution. She did that and was able to clear her skin after trying everything else.

If the conflict is ongoing and the symptoms are chronic, there is something chronically going on about this conflict for you. You have to identify what it is and find a solution.

Is that the crux of German New Medicine? The sickness, disease, or illness, whatever is presenting has its roots in some trauma or conflict within you. Is that right?

Yes, there’s a conflict experience and something that is acute and dramatic. It catches you off guard. You feel totally alone in this problem. That initiates an adaptation within the body. We have to think about what the skin does. The skin interfaces. This is where we have touch. It’s a form of communication to be skin-to-skin with someone. When you are torn from that person and you’re separated, the biological program is to numb that area. When you are actively in this conflict, there’s loss of tissue and numbing of the tissue and also memory loss.

When someone has memory loss, we have to look at the separation conflicts in their life. The crux is that the body is doing something on purpose to assist you in dealing with this conflicted event in your life. It’s helping you. The big thing is it’s meaningful and purposeful. It’s not an error. “You ate something bad and your body’s inflamed.” The body is doing something very intentional to help you cope and deal with the loss of your child, the separation from your child, or whatever your conflict happens to be.

Our body is on our side. I love that so much. I’ve interviewed so many experts and my experience leads me to understand that our body is always in the healing process. It’s trying to recalibrate when it suffers traumas of various kinds. It’s never against you. The whole idea of, for example, an autoimmune condition, the concept is that your body is attacking itself but your body would never do that. It’s responding in a way that promotes healing. We think of it as against us somehow, I guess.

Everything is misinterpreted in the conventional world. We look at a symptom and say, “A-ha, this is a problem,” when it’s the solution. By the time the inflammation arrives and the time bacteria are active at a site of your body, it means you went through the conflict, you resolved it, and the tissue is in the repair phase. This changes everything like the language that we use and the way that we perceive symptoms. When I’m itchy and inflamed, instead of saying, “I have a problem,” we say, “I had a problem or a conflict that I resolved.” You’re looking for, “What did I resolve? What did I chill out about? What changed? The symptom tells me my body’s in the repair mode.”

Five Biological Laws Of German New Medicine Part 1

I know there’s a lot to this, Melissa, but I want you to help us unpack the five biological laws that will help us probably understand this whole different approach to healing from German New Medicine.

The first law is the Psyche Brain Organ Connection. This is the event that sets off the adaptation cascade. Dr. Hamer labeled this as DHS in honor of his son, Dirk. Dirk Hamer Syndrome. This is a conflicting event. This is the thing that you were not expecting. I have to stress the point that this is not just general daily stress. This is a specific moment in time when you were not expecting this.

This was a highly acute situation. It was dramatic. It caught you off guard. You weren’t prepared for it. Your psyche perceives there is a threat to your survival. A survival threat has arisen and the psyche perceives it. There’s an impact in the brain and then the organ begins to adapt. The adaptations in the organ depend on what type of tissue it is. What type of tissue gets activated depends on the nature of the conflict.

There are four different categories of conflicts that correlate to the four different tissue germ layers of our body. Dr. Hamer takes us back to embryology. When the two cells came together to what would become your body, there was this differentiation process that happened. These tissues were morphing and changing into all of the different layers that built this beautiful, amazing, functional, living, breathing organism.

If the conflict that you experienced was about basic survival like it was about food, breathing, basic reproduction, or securing energy to survive, these are the morsel types of conflicts. When you’re in the active conflict, this is the yellow group if you ever look at the GNM chart. The yellow tissues grow during the conflict. This is the glandular tissue of the body.

For example, the thyroid gland, parotid gland, and tonsils are glandular tissues that produce juices. These juices help us somewhere in the metabolic process of acquiring food and then breaking that food down. If you have a conflict about acquiring a morsel like a child, “I want the cookie. I don’t want the broccoli.” “I want this morsel of food. I don’t want that morsel.” If this is a shocking event that catches the child off guard, they were unprepared, they thought they were guaranteed to get that cookie and they were given the broccoli instead, they said, “No. This is a conflict for me. I do not want this.”

What happens is the brain turns on a program to proliferate the tonsils. The tonsils grow bigger during the conflict so that they can produce more salivary and digestive juices so that we can either get the morsel in or spit the morsel out. The right side is about getting the morsel. The left side is about getting rid of it. The tonsils will grow and proliferate when we’re having some type of morsel conflict.

When we resolve the conflict, get over it, not actively deal with it, or successfully get the morsel or get rid of the morsel, then the body breaks down that extra tissue. It builds up during the conflict. This is called the conproductive phase. This is a description of the second biological law. Every biological program operates in two phases. The first phase is, “I’m in a conflict. I want the cookie. I don’t want the broccoli. I want to swallow this thing. I’m in a conflict that’s causing the tissue of the tonsils to proliferate.” They’re getting bigger until we resolve the conflict.

“What a relief. Grandma gave me the cookie. I got the thing that I wanted.” We don’t need that extra tissue anymore so biology activates the healing phase. During the healing phase, what was built up during the conflict is decomposed. This is the fourth biological law. The body uses bacteria. You need to think of them as microsurgeons. They are helpers. They are your own tissue. They are derived within each germ layer. Within each tissue layer, you have these workers that assist you during the healing phase.

 

When there’s pus on the tonsils and white patches, what do we know? We know there was a morsel conflict or a morsel I wanted to get if it’s the right side or something I wanted to get rid of if it’s the left side. If there are white patches, that means we’ve resolved the conflict. The morsel conflict has been finished and the body is decomposing and breaking down that tissue. That will happen.

We will have swelling. It will be hard to swallow because there’s fluid in that area. There’s inflammation because the body is in this repair phase. It will get to a point of maximum swelling and vagotonia, and then there will be a big squeeze. In this state, they call it tonsillar angina. It’s pain. You’ll feel the squeeze and they will squeeze out the fluid from the tissue and also from the brain.

During the healing phase, we also have brain involvement. That’s when we have pressure in the head or a headache. The big squeeze happens. The epicrisis is a surge of sympathetic dominance to squeeze the fluid out. We then go into the second phase of healing which is the continued scarification, whatever tissue needs to be continued to be repaired during that time. The program is over. That’s the second biological law.

Just know that in every biological program, there’s the conflict phase. This is when you are thinking about the conflict constantly. This is when your hands and feet are cold. You’re not hungry. You’re waking up in the middle of the night with the problem on your mind. The conflict is active. When you resolve it, you breathe a sigh of relief. “The money came through. I got the message that my grandma was going to be okay. Everything’s okay.”

We move into the healing phase. That’s when we’re feverish and tired. The body is repairing and we’re inflamed. We have a headache. That’s the healing phase. We have a big squeeze. We have the second phase of healing. We have to recognize each phase so that we know, “I’m in a conflict. I’m in a healing phase. I had an epicrisis.” This helps you to identify where you are in the program. There are other three categories of conflicts.

Before we jump there, I want to wrap my head around all this because this is a lot of information for some of us and this is new. I can see that a lot of us in our regular day-to-day lives as adults will have these experiences of conflict, the pain when it’s keeping us awake, the inflammation, the resolution, and all these things. I can see that happening even on a psychological level if not a physical level.

Just to be clear, when you were bringing up the tonsils, that was an example of a morsel situation when it has to do with something that you want or something you want to reject. You had this conflict. This could have been 10 or 20 years ago. It could have been when you were a child or maybe even in utero. Is that right? Am I tracking?

When the symptoms arise, that’s around when the conflict happened or when the conflict was reactivated. If you had ongoing tonsil issues your whole life, the big conflict could have happened when you were four. Ever since then, there have been tracks. There are certain things that remind us of the conflict. A person who’s 40 and has tonsil issues, we know that something happened to activate the conflict at 40. There was a track that was reactivated or a conflict. We do want to look at when the symptoms come up. What happened around that time? Something had to have occurred that either reactivated a conflict or started a new conflict at that point.

This is so fascinating. It’s so profound. We’ve only touched on two of the biological laws. Is that right?

Yes.

Three Expectations To German New Medicine

I want to interject here for a second. Don’t people get sick because of toxins? Let’s say someone’s always having trouble with headaches. You might think that there’s some conflict or something that they had and it triggered maybe when they were five years old when there was mold in their attic. How is that related to German New Medicine or is that a separate category?

There are three exceptions to the biological program. They’re organic. They come from the inside out. If there’s a lump in your breast or skin, that came from the inside. There’s some program that’s happening inside of the body. There are things that can come from the outside. The mechanical things are like an injury. An injury isn’t a biological program. It has to go through healing phases after the injury but there’s not a conflict that initiates it necessarily.

I believe that everything that happens, injuries included, is initiated by something going on within. It’s an externalization but it’s not a biological program from the GNM perspective. There’s also poisoning. If there’s something poisonous coming from the outside that is interfering with normal biological functions, that’s poisoning. It’s not a biological program. There’s not going to be an impact on the brain.

When the conversation comes up, “Is it toxins? Is it a biological program,” there is a way that we’d be able to know definitively which it is and that’s with a brain scan. One of the things Dr. Hamer discovered is that for all of these biological programs, every single time there’s a conflict and an organ adaptation, there’s also an impact on the brain in a specific region.

In each brain layer, Dr. Hamer found that if someone had liver cancer or pancreatic cancer or something in their lung, they would also have an impact in a specific zone of their brain every single time. Psyche Brain Organ. If the symptom a person is experiencing is due truly to a poison, there wouldn’t be that impact on the brain. That way, if we did a CT scan of the brain and saw this person exhibiting all of these symptoms and they don’t have the impact in the brain, then we could conclude this is a poisoning situation. There’s a poison that the body is trying to eliminate.

Not everyone realistically is going to go get a CT scan and try to determine this. I say do both. Clean up your environment, get out of the mold, clean up your diet, clean up the products that you’re using, and detox if that makes sense to you. Avoid detoxing when your body’s in a healing phase because it’s metabolically expensive to detox. When your body is trying to rebuild tissue, you don’t want to be putting that extra pressure on the body to have to detox while you’re in a healing phase. If some type of cleansing, detox, or nutritional protocol makes sense to you, I say do it all.

Let’s look at the biological program. If it’s a headache and you’re like, “I think it’s the mold,” let’s also look at the conflicts in your life and address anything that could be conflicted that you might be in a healing phase from in addition to getting out of the moldy environment and cleaning up the mold. I say do both but there is a way to tell for sure if it’s toxins or a biological program.

Most of us probably err on the side of addressing the physical symptom or situation. If I were living in that home with a mold in the attic, I’d be like, “I got rid of that or I moved,” all is well but why not dive deeper and see, “Is there something in me?” This is maybe getting too far of a field but what if there’s something in me that was attracting that situation for some reason? There is some trauma that I either think I have to punish myself over or something that I haven’t identified spiritual or emotional level that is causing me to find myself repeatedly in situations like that.

I have several friends who have been sick for a very long time and they keep tripping over new rocks. If it’s not heavy metal toxicity, it’s EMF sensitivity or limes. It’s one thing after another. I’m like, “How much bad luck can one person have?” Clearly, things are poisoning them in their environment. I do believe that a tick could convey some kind of disease or there could be well water that’s got bacteria that didn’t sit well with you and compromise your immune system but at the same time, something else is happening. I guess that’s what German New Medicine is trying to point to.

Yes. Was it the bacteria? You went through a resolution. Look at both of those things. What you’re saying is true. We attract the situations that we need and they’re trying to show us something. How many people have out of the frying pan and into the fire? We get out of the moldy situation and move somewhere else. There’s a ton of problems. “Why do problems seem to characterize my experience?”

I am very curious about those subtle things that cause us to end up in certain relationships again and again. These are these unconscious patterns. Unconscious patterns are very fascinating to look at and how they show up in the situations I find myself in again and again. I do take my work there with people. Why this and this and all of these things? It’s here to show you something.

That’s how I use the map of GNM. Every conflict is here to show you something. Every biological and relationship conflict is here to teach and grow you. It’s here so that you can evolve and move past it. We don’t want a life where there are no challenges and conflicts and nothing ever happens. We would be bored to death. Recognize that there is a value to everything that doesn’t go your way. Every conflicting event and problem can be a stepping stone to elevate your life experience, give it texture, and give you personality quirks.

Another cool thing that Dr. Hamer discovered is all of the things that make an artist, an artist, and an author who can write all these books. It’s the combination of their traumas. It activates different constellations in the brain and these are incredible gifts. People who are autistic. They can do incredible things with math and build. They have these gifts that they turn on because of the conflict. The conflict turns on these gifts.

If you can sort through the things going on in your life and say, “What’s the gift here? What’s the nugget? What’s the gold? How am I going to grow from this.” Even that attitude instead of, “I’m the victim of all these terrible things happening to me.” Being in that victim mindset is one of the hugest problems. That’s why the externalization is we’re looking at the mold, germ, and tick. We are looking at these outside things that are making us sick. It’s disempowering. When you say, “There’s something in me that’s attracting all of this,” you take the power back.

Five Biological Laws Of German New Medicine Part 2

That’s powerful. Thank you so much for saying that. It’s a reminder to all of us wherever we are on our health journey. Let’s back up and review some of the other biological laws that we didn’t get to yet.

The first one is the conflict, the thing that sets off the DHS. The second one was the law of two phases. We have the conflict phase and the healing phase. The third law is the organization of the different tissues. I touched on this a little already. We have the yellow group. That’s the endoderm. That’s controlled by the brainstem. That’s the old morsel conflicts. We have the orange group. The orange is divided into two. We have the old mesoderm and the new mesoderm.

The old mesoderm is controlled from the cerebellum. It behaves similarly to the yellow tissue and it grows during the active conflict. The organs are the deep skin so the dermis skin, pleura, and pericardium. These are these thick coatings. The conflict for this theme is attack and protection. If I am feeling attacked, soiled, defiled, and disfigured, this tissue will thicken. It will create a shield.

A melanoma, for example, is a shield built by the body because, at that location, you felt attacked, soiled, dirtied, or disfigured at that spot. You have to identify, “When did I feel that? What happened that I felt attacked? I felt like someone was stabbing me in the back or talking about me behind my back. Someone was yelling at me and spitting in my face.” That can show up as acne.

Acne was one of my huge insights into making sense of and understanding GNM in this map. In my acne journey, I went through conventional and holistic. We went to GNM and everything made sense. I thought that at first, it’s the conventional idea that it’s bacteria. You need to wash your face. I would wash and scrub my face. I would use antibacterial soap and rubbing alcohol to kill every little bacteria. That’s what I thought of my acne when I was a teenager.

I would get that stuff that would bleach the pillowcases. I thought that if I killed everything on my skin, then I would have clear skin. That did not work. I tried and tried to clear my skin with all of the topical things. I then learned about nutrition. I read this book at the chiropractic office I worked at right out of high school. There was this book called Milk: The Deadly Poison. I was like, “It’s dairy. If I cut dairy out, then my skin will clear up.”

Every time I change something, the skin clears up for a minute. I’d still have the food cut out of my diet and it would return. It was like, “Maybe it’s not the dairy.” I did the 80-10-10 diet for a month, where you eat all raw fruits and vegetables. I ate all the raw fruits and vegetables. I was like, “This is it. I will have clear skin at the end of these 30 days.” Once again, it failed me. It did not work.

I went to more of a paleo-type diet. I was like, “A-ha, this will be it.” I got into gut health. I was like, “It’s the gut health. If I eat the sauerkraut and take the probiotics, that will be it.” It would work for a little bit. I’d be eating my probiotics and eating my sauerkraut. I would still get a breakout. I thought, “If I eat out at a restaurant, it’s the bad oils or inflammatory oils.” I’d never have them at home but if I happened to be eating out, I would always get a breakout.

I couldn’t figure it out until I learned map. The conflict of acne is feeling attacked or soiled. I noticed that for me as I learned all this stuff about nutrition. If I ever ate something that didn’t align with my beliefs and what I taught about nutrition, I would get a breakout. If I had Chipotle, they use bad oils so I would have acne. That was my conflict. I was feeling soiled and dirtied by the foods that I was eating that’s causing the acne breakout.

I would always get a breakout if my dog licked my face because I had this old association of dog, slobber, and bacteria on my skin. I would get a breakout. With my awareness and changing my associations, my dogs and cows can lick my face. I can occasionally eat at places that are not using good oils but because I’m no longer creating this feeling of ick, “I shouldn’t eat this. This is soiling and bad for me.” Having the mindset of, “I don’t eat this most of the time but this is not a problem and my body can process it easily,” there were no breakouts anymore.

Anytime I do get a pimple or a blemish here or there, I know exactly what caused it like the duck water. I’ve got these ducks and I will pour the water. Sometimes it’ll splash and splash. If I have a little moment of, “Gross, I got poopy duck water on my face,” I could have a breakout right at that spot because of the association of gross and cringe. I got something yucky on my skin.

What you’re saying resonates with me because I have a friend who was struggling with eczema, another skin breakout situation. She thought it had to do with eating gluten or something. She did all these different things and then she realized, “It has to do more with something inside me than from what I’m eating. It has to do with some trauma, I suppose.”

I don’t think she was going the German New Medicine route but the point I’m trying to make is when she was able to release that feeling of conflict, concern, or association even that this is making this happen when she made peace with herself, Melissa, she was able to eat things to her heart’s content and not have the same response anymore. There is something to this.

Eczema would be a separation conflict. You resolve the separation conflict. It’s not the food. That’s one of my mantras. “It’s not the food, it’s you.” What happens is foods can cause symptoms in the sense that the food reminds your biology of the conflict. If you were eating Cheerios and your parents got in a huge fight that ended in their divorce, the brain can tag the milk from the cereal, gluten, and grain. Every time you eat it, if you have terrible indigestion or your stomach gurgles and you have to run off to the bathroom, it’s because something indigestible happened while that food was in your system.

It is not the food. It is you.

Every time you eat it, you say, “I’m gluten intolerant. I’m dairy intolerant. I can’t eat these foods. The foods are bad for me or they’re inflammatory.” It’s not the food. It’s the association in your psyche with the indigestible situation. If it’s your skin, that means that that food. It can be anything. It can be a person, place, music, detergent, or a smell that gets flagged by the brain. We have to think about this in our survival strategy.

The brain remembers everything. If you were a little animal down at a water hole, you’re about to take a sip of water and there’s a big juniper bush next to you. A predator leaps out of the bush at you and you have a conflict in that moment. “I might die.” You have to get away. The next time you smell juniper, don’t you think that your biology is going to activate the biological program that’s going to help you to get out of that situation and help you to get more oxygen in your blood, blood to your muscles, and more energy so that you can get away from this predator?

When it smells juniper, that’s a survival strategy. That’s how allergies work. That’s how intolerance is when you react to a food. It’s your supercomputer saying, “We were here before. This was dangerous. This is a warning sign.” It turns on the program. Identify what the program is. “What happened to me? Why was I in danger? Why was this a threat.” Your psyche realizes, “That’s not a threat anymore.”

There was a story of a brother and sister. They were stealing nuts from the tree of the neighbor. They were little kids walking and they were like, “Let’s have some nuts from the neighbor’s tree.” The neighbor comes out and yells at them. They get in big trouble for stealing these nuts. “We’re allergic to nuts now because we had a very traumatic situation where a scary neighbor was yelling at us for stealing the nuts from their tree.”

Let’s use that example. What’s interesting to me, and I guess it has to do with our psyche too, is let’s say it’s two kids, a boy and a girl. The boy might be allergic to nuts or suddenly an allergic response comes as a result of that interaction. That might not happen to the girl. It’s not as easy as connecting a conflict with a resulting symptom because the symptom doesn’t always appear the same for every person.

That is the uniqueness of the individual. A situation can happen. It’s a shared external experience but the internal experience is going to depend on that unique child, what they’ve been through, and their previous experiences. It’s going to determine how they perceive that event, which is so cool. The same thing can happen but this takes into account in a way that no other health model does. It’s the uniqueness of the individual, the uniqueness of their experiences, what they’ve been through, and their vulnerabilities.

If one child is like, “I know old neighbor Joe. He’s a big blowhard.” The other one’s like, “I’ve never been confronted like this before.” It could be a conflict for one, not a conflict for the other, even their personalities and how they perceive things. A conflict for one person may not be a conflict at all for another. Also, that state of a person. Let’s say that there is infidelity in a relationship.

If that woman was hoping to have children with this man and he is unfaithful to her, she might develop a cervical adaptation or cervical cancer but if she has already had her children, she’s not planning to have children with him, or she’s already had children with him, she might see this as a threat to her nest, home, and money. If she was planning on breaking up with the guy, it depends on what state is she in with a relationship with the man who was unfaithful. How it’s going to hit her is not the same for every single person. It’s going to depend on what stage of life you are in. What is your dynamic in the relationship? Everything matters as far as why it’s a conflict for one person and not another.

Addressing Our Hidden Conflicts

The other thing that comes to my mind is that we have hidden conflicts. In other words, there might be a person who says, “I know neighbor Joe. He’s a blowhard,” but on the inside, he’s still terrified of neighbor Joe. We have to do some work to get to the grain of the issue, even if there’s no apparent symptom immediately.

It’s like, “How did it strike you? Was it scary for you? Was it overwhelming? Did it catch you off guard?” Everything can be learned. That’s why it’s very helpful when everyone knows this map and we can take inventory. You can talk to your children. “Anyone have any conflicts today? Any little things that caught you off guard?” When you talk about it, that’s the beautiful thing when you break out of the isolation.

Conflicts are highly acute and dramatic. They catch you off guard and you feel totally alone in it. You feel like, “I am alone in the universe dealing with this problem. It’s me and my biology so my biology has to adapt to help me.” You can talk to your mother about it and she is there for you. That’s why when children are sent off to school like kindergarten, their mothers are not there to comfort them and tell them all their problems. You’re all alone in it. It’s having someone to talk to. When families have this map and they understand, the sooner we talk about stuff, the sooner we clear it up, bring awareness to it, and can laugh about the thing that happened.

A little girl was at school coloring. The girl next to her vomited very close to her shoes. She started developing hives after this event. She had these hives all over her body. The mother noticed that this was happening. Every time she was coloring, the hives would come up because she was coloring when the vomit happened. She talked to her about it.

She messaged me on Instagram and we were chatting about it. She had an association between the vomiting. I was like, “How did she feel in that moment?” She said, “I just wanted to get away from it.” Here’s the separation. She wanted to separate from the girl who was vomiting. That’s what a hive is, a separation conflict once again. “How do we help her to resolve this?” “We talk about it.” “It makes a lot of sense that your body wanted to separate from the vomit. That was gross. Your mind associated that with the coloring. Have her draw a picture of the situation.”

How funny is it to draw a picture of someone vomiting, even the idea of coloring? It’s funny. Can we process it? She did that with her and had her color and draw a picture of the vomit. She resolved the conflict this way. She resolved it by talking to Mom, drawing a funny picture, and making it light. Instead of it being like, “I didn’t know what to do. This was a shocking situation. She vomited so it got stuck with me,” it’s light as a feather. It’s not conflictive. We can bring lightness and funniness to it.

That reminds me of neuro-linguistic programming. A friend of mine has studied with Dr. Richard Bandler. He talks about, I believe, taking conflicts or issues. Let’s say someone’s annoying you and your family. Let’s go with Uncle Joe, the neighbor. To make it smaller in your mind, perhaps to help you ease the conflict, you almost give them a Donald Duck voice or put them in a Donald Duck costume. Speakers will sometimes imagine the audience in their underwear, something to lighten it up for them. I hear that kind of technique in this drawing illustration.

Dr. Hamer said that if someone gives you a scary diagnosis, you should imagine them on the toilet. You see that they’re just human. Often, when people are given a diagnosis by someone in a white coat, you see them in this very austere professional. “This is the expert telling me that I have a scary disease.” Imagine them on the toilet. What automatically puts in your mind is, “You’re just a human who doesn’t even understand how the body works.”

That is the thing for a person who’s been given a scary diagnosis because they hold that moment of shock where the doctor told them, “I have bad news for you.” It’s heavy. It’s not light as a feather. It’s that moment we have like a stone in our soul. The conflict is resolved when either it can’t happen again or when we can laugh about it, make light of it, give it a Donald Duck voice, give it something funny, see them on the toilet, or something to break the spell of how serious it was in your mind at that moment.

Five Biological Laws Of German New Medicine Part 3

Melissa, we’re starting to run out of time but I feel like there are a couple more biological laws we didn’t get to and a couple of other colors on the chart.

We did the yellow and half of the orange. The other half of the orange is the connective tissue. This is controlled by the cerebral medulla. This is all of the tissues in the body that give us structure and value. The conflict here is about abilities, not being capable, and having a loss of your value. It’s devaluation. It’s self-esteem. “I don’t feel strong, smart, and fast enough. I don’t have a grip on this. I don’t feel like I am doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve lost my value in some way.” This causes connective tissue problems and bones.

This was very interesting for me in particular because of my background in chiropractic. People would come in with chronic neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain. We would adjust and do all these things. I would have them change their diet. My practice prior to learning genome was all lifestyle-based. Let’s clean up all of the nutrition and toxins. Let’s align the spine and do these exercises. All of those things are very beneficial.

Lifestyle changes are super duper helpful for you as a being. It’s better to get enough sleep, be out in the sunshine, eat pure foods, drink pure water, and live as close to nature as possible. All of that is extremely beneficial but I was missing the piece of the self-devaluation conflict. A person would go through the protocol and clean up everything over the course of 3 to 4 months. “I’ve done all these things.”

 

We’d have a flare-up of the neck pain. It’d be like, “You’re doing your exercises and not eating inflammatory foods. You cleaned up all of your toxic products. I wonder. Maybe you slept funny.” That was what I had to chalk up to because I was missing this piece. How are you intellectually devaluing yourself or having a sense of injustice? What’s going on in your life?

I remember a woman who had a terrible frozen shoulder situation. She was doing all the healthy things but I was missing the piece to say, “What’s going on in your relationships?” It was her dominant side. Your dominant side hand is associated with your partner. If you are having an issue on that shoulder, we have to look at what’s going on in the relationship. How are you feeling devalued? How are you feeling guilty or ashamed? What’s going on there? That is the category of self-devaluation.

We have to find a way to resolve this conflict because when this conflict is active, there’s a loss of tissue. Your bones break down. This is osteoporosis and osteopenia. When you’re losing bone, it’s because you’re devaluing yourself. Often, they associate this with menopause. They say a decrease in estrogen causes a decrease in bone density. No. It happens to be around that time in life. Women have a concept of aging and moving into menopause. They feel like they have lost their value. They feel less.

“I’m not fertile anymore.” They have all sorts of ideas about what that means. We live in a society that is very focused on youth and beauty. If they have a rink, they start to devalue themselves. It’s not about the estrogen. It’s about the concept they have of aging, which causes loss of bones. We have to revalue ourselves because what happens when you resolve this type of conflict is after the resolution, the bones become stronger than before. The lymph nodes become bigger, thicker, and better than before after you resolve it. That’s this category.

The fourth one is the red group. We’ve mentioned this several times already with the outer skin. The dermis is the underskin that’s feeling attacked or soiled. The outer skin is about separation. This is also the lining of the bile duct and gallbladder. These are the areas that have to do with territory and also sexual conflicts. Territory conflicts, sexual conflicts, and separation. It’s things that have to do with the hierarchy in the community. There’s loss of tissue during the active conflict followed by tissue restoration.

The third biological law helps us to understand the map. What does this tissue do? What’s the theme of the conflict? What can we expect during the tissue adaptation phases? The fourth biological law, which I also briefly mentioned, is the law of microbes. Microbes are helpers and friends. They operate in these germ layers to help either break down tissue that was built up or restore tissue that’s been lost.

The things that they call viruses belong in the red group. We all know that viruses do not cause disease. There is not a little particle hanging out on the doorknob trying to give you a cough. That’s not how it works. This happens from the inside. The things that are called viruses are simply adaptations taking place in the squamous epithelial tissue of the red group.

Some type of conflict happens and the tissue is repaired. It’s protein particles present at the site where tissue has gone through a repair phase. We don’t need to be afraid of bacteria, germs, or things that are coming from the microbial world. They’re there to help. If you can identify the conflict, you can figure it out. You don’t need to be afraid and eradicate, eliminate, or try to outsmart the bacteria. You work with them. They’re there to help you.

This is a lot about what we’ve been focused on in the past few years because there was a time during COVID when we were afraid of each other. We were afraid of germs and viruses lurking on packages we picked up from the store. It was insanity. Now, we know and understand better. There are ways in which we can shore ourselves up spiritually, emotionally, physically, and so forth so that we can identify if there’s something that’s making us susceptible to sickness in the first place.

Convincing People To Try German New Medicine

It’s funny that we do point to the helpers in the body as if they were the culprits. This happens with cholesterol too where we say, “The cholesterol is causing heart disease. What if cholesterol is coming to help because there’s an issue in the heart?” I get that whole way of thinking. Melissa, I’m curious. What do you say to the person who simply doesn’t understand GNM or German New Medicine? They think that Uncle Jacob got sick and died because he was an alcoholic or he got a diagnosis of cancer. That’s the way the ball bounces. Nothing else was involved. What do you say to people who have that paradigm?

If someone believes that the universe is random and things happen randomly, I’m not going to sit down and try to convince you that we live in a universe of laws and cause and effect. Every effect and everything that happens has a cause. If this uncle was an alcoholic, why was he drinking alcohol? What was he trying to not feel? Is it the alcohol that causes the problem or is the alcohol covering up the unresolved conflict? It’s a way of coping with something hard to cope with. That’s leading to a conflict.

Nothing happens in the universe randomly. Every effect and everything that happens has a cause.

The conflict is the thing that causes a cancer. It’s the iron rule of cancer, the first biological law. Cancer does not occur without some type of reason. It’s an adaptation. I’m not interested in sitting down and trying to convince a person of this simply because it’s a law of nature. It’s like I’m going to convince you that when I drop this pen, it’s going to fall to the ground. How many hours are you going to spend trying to convince someone that this is what happens?

That’s how it is with the biological laws. This is what happens. Dr. Hamer happened to be the guy who discovered that this is how it works. For a cancer to appear in the body, some type of event had to occur that caught him off guard and that was shocking and acute. He felt totally isolated. There’s an impact on his brain. That’s where the adaptation comes from. It’s a law of nature.

A person can recognize that or they may not choose to recognize that, one way or the other if they want to be free and experience the empowerment of knowing that there is a reason. It’s not like we can control and micromanage the body. We can understand the laws of nature and operate more intelligently within those laws.

It’s empirical. You can test all of this. You don’t have to believe any of this. Start observing. With me and the pimple situation, I had to see the next time I got a pimple, I was like, “This makes a lot of sense.” The next time I got a sore throat, I was like, “This makes a lot of sense.” The next time I talked to a friend and she had a UTI, we looked it up. It’s like, “This makes a lot of sense.” Every conversation I have with people all day long is like, “That makes sense.” It’s always spot on.

We had someone with heart palpitations. That made perfect sense. Someone has a double vision. That made perfect sense. When we hear the story, biology is always perfectly expressing the conflict. If we can pull the thread, ask the right questions, and figure out what it’s about, the map is always correct. It’s incredible. Dr. Hamer is an absolute genius for putting this together and discovering it. It’s criminal that not everyone knows about it.

That’s why I take every chance I get to get on a podcast to tell the world, “Check this out.” This information, everyone should know it. It should be in basic education for every child, adult, and doctor. This also applies to animals and plants. Everything in nature has adaptations in response to conflicting events. It’s how we’ve survived up until this point.

If we didn’t have these adaptation programs, we wouldn’t be here. The biology has to adapt to continue surviving. You can recognize it and resolve these conflicts sooner. The way to maintain health is to not be in conflict for years at a time. It’s the conflicts that go on for a very long time without resolution that can deplete the body or a conflict that’s active on and off for years and years and years. It’s the time that we’re in the conflict that’s the problem that creates something.

People often ask me, “They get diagnosed with something and die. Why does that happen?” They were in conflict for way too long, an unbiological amount of time. Nature is constantly having conflicts and conflict resolution. When you live in conflict for way too long, everything about modern society is counter to biology. Children going to daycare, children being born in hospitals, and all things that separate us from nature and increase the number of conflicts we have. Every time a person is dealing with something and whether they don’t make it through that adaptation process, even that makes sense when you understand the story.

Five Biological Laws Of German New Medicine Part 4

This is so fascinating. We’ve barely scratched the surface, Melissa. I’m thankful you got on the show. I want to pose to you the question I love to pose at the end. If the audience could only do one thing to improve their health, take one step in the right direction, what would you recommend that they do?

Understand the fifth biological law, which is the one we haven’t gotten to yet, which is quintessence. Understand that there is no evil in nature. Your body is not against you. Everything that happens in the body makes sense. Nature only does what is practical for continuing life. When you can look at the symptoms in your body through the lens of biology, say, “How is this here? What type of survival program got activated within me?”

Your body is not against you. Everything that happens in the body makes sense.

Be curious about your experience. Don’t assume that you already know, brush it under the rug, and do not pay attention. Wonder. “I wonder what this could tell me about my experience or something that’s unresolved in my life. This terrible stomach problem I have. What is indigestible to me? What can’t I process? What can’t I stomach? What can’t I digest?” It’s teaching and showing you something.

Stay curious about that and dive further into these biological laws. They’re not going anywhere. They’ve affected you your whole life without knowing it. Get a glimpse into, “What does this say? I’ve got some hair loss. What is that from? A separation conflict. I’m dealing with cold sores. That’s a separation conflict too. I’m dealing with indigestion. I need to figure out what this is telling me about my life.”

Get curious. I love it. Melissa, on behalf of The Weston A. Price Foundation, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us.

Thank you.
