In January, 2010, time magazine published an article on “Why Your DNA isn’t Your Destiny”… specifically on the new science called Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene activity that do not involve alterations to the genetic code but still get passed down to a least one successive generation. These patterns of gene expression are governed by the cellular material – the epigenome – that sits on top of the gnome, just outside it (hence the prefix epi-, which means above). It is these epigenetic ‘marks’ that tell your genes to switch on or off, to speak loudly or whisper. It is through epigenetic marks that environmental factors like diet, stress and prenatal nutrition can make an imprint on genes that is passed from one generation to the next.

According to Dr. med. R. G. Hamer’s “German New Medicine” (GNM) – as presented by Caroline Markolin, Ph.D. in 2005 – the studies of Bruce Lipton Ph.D. (presented in “The Biology of Belief” – found here) have been described as “refreshingly science-based”.

Dr. Lipton, a trained cell biologist, demonstrates through scientific experimentation that the behaviour of cells and the epigenetic expression of genes are indeed influenced by a person’s beliefs and perception of the world. This translates into a profound shift from being controlled by our genes to the control over our genes. The words “From Victim to Master” quickly became the slogan of Epigeneticists.

In 2005, Dr. Joe Dispenza (“Evolve Your Brain”) introduces the “Biology of Change” by drawing on intriguing reseach from the emerging field of neuroplasticity. In accordance with the discoveries of the new physics of quantum mechanics, both Lipton’s and Dispenza’s findings corroborate, whether on the cellular or neurological level, that the mind is a powerful co-creator of our reality.

“The difference between the psyche, the brain, and the body is purely academic. In reality they are one. One without the other is inconceivable.” ~ Dr. med. R. G. Hamer

Dr. med. R. G. Hamer is the first to investigate the cause of diseases by taking the brain into close account. The brain controls all processes in the body. By comparing his patients’ brain CT scan with their medical records and their personal histories, he found that an emotional trauma or “conflict shock” (DHS as he termed it) leaves a visible mark in precisely the same area of the brain that controls the disease process. Based on the study of tens of thousands of cases, he discovered that the psyche, the brain and the body constitute a biological unit, encoded with Biological Special Programs to secure survival. Dr. med. R. G. Hamer established that the brain acts as a mediator between the psyche and the body, with both receiving and transmitting functions. He identified the brain as the biological control station from where these age-old emergency programs are directed and coordinated.

“In some way or other we are part of a single all-embracing psyche.” ~ Carl Jung

Dr. med. R. G. Hamer’s research reveals that the psyche is an integral part of our biology. It is the ‘organ’, so to speak, that instinctively recognizes dangers that could threaten our survival (“existence conflicts”, “death-fright conflicts”, “attack conflicts”, “starvation conflicts”), the safety of our domain or home (“territorial conflicts”), the bond with members of our group (“loss conflicts”, “separation conflicts”, “abandonment conflicts”), or the survival of the group itself (“sexual conflicts”, “nest worry conflicts”). Human beings share these conflicts with all species.

According to Dr. med. R. G. Hamer, as human beings are capable of symbolic thought, we are able to experience these conflicts also in a figurative sense. For us, a “starvation conflict” can be initiated by the loss of a workplace and a fear of not knowing how to provide for ourselves. A “sexual conflict” can be caused by the distress that our partner is “mating” with someone else; an “abandonment conflict” by feeling excluded or left behind. “Territorial anger” can be triggered at home, at work, or at school.

In nature these conflicts are generally quickly resolved. Because we humans alienated ourselves from Nature, and have moved away from living in accordance with It, we experience “territorial conflicts”, “attack conflicts”, “sexual conflicts”, “separation conflicts”, “abandonment conflicts”, or “loss conflicts” much more frequently and typically the conflicts last for longer periods of time. This is why the complexity and severity of diseases seen in human beings, specifically the increase in cancer incidence, is not found to the same extent in the natural world.

A positive attitude, letting go of anger, feelings of trust and forgiveness can significantly reduce the intensity and duration of a conflict and therefore the “disease”-symptom(s). The New Medicine shifts or rather elevates “prevention” and “healing” to a level where the biology of human beings can be understood as intimately connected with spirituality and a chance for spiritual growth. GNM (German New Medicine) draws our attention to the meaning of the psyche as the “seat of the soul”, the true master of our lives.

“The secret of medicine is to distract the patient, while Nature heals itself.” ~ Voltaire

Beginning at the moment of the conflict resolution, the entire organism becomes mobilized to restore the affected organ to its original function. Tissue loss generated during the conflict-active phase is refilled and replenished; additional cells that are no longer needed are removed. The autonomic nervous system switches into a state of prolonged vagotonia, forcing the organism to rest, ‘while Nature heals itself’.

Healing involves many biological processes. White blood cells (lymphocytes, macrophages, etc.) and antibodies, all participate in healing. Consequently, the so-called “immune system”, envisioned as a defense system against “disease”-causing agents (microbes, cancer cells, toxins), is in reality a support system created to aid a speedy recovery! The word “anti”-bodies is meaningless, as there is essentially no “body” to “fight against”.

Of course a poor diet, smoking, exposure to electromagnetic pollutants, dental amalgams, negative thoughts, a pessimistic outlook and other adverse factors deplete the organisms of energy. All influences that drain the body’s vitality make recovery much more difficult and might even contribute to serious complications, specifically during the healing crisis. Owing to their high toxicity, most pharmaceutical drugs brutally interrupt the natural healing process, and even cause death, as we see in the extremely high number of chemo-treatment victims.

Conversely, a diet rich in organic nutrients, the clearing of geopathic stress zones, the practice of yoga and meditation, and so forth, can accelerate the recovery process immensely. It has long been recognized that positive thoughts, as well as very specific sounds and colors, raise the vibrational frequency of the body and contribute considerably to healing. This increase in energy explains “spontaneous remission”. It accounts for the healing power of love and prayers and of sacred sites. It is the basis on which placebos (from the Latin placebo “I shall please”) affect the patient.

Last, but not least, the understanding of GNM and the Five Biological Laws has in itself a healing effect as it liberates the mind from fear and inspires trust in the creative wisdom of Mother Nature.

Since families share the same cultural and social conditioning, the same indoctrinations, the same beliefs, and so forth, they often experience the same type of conflicts, causing the same “diseases”.

The fear instilled by the widely held belief that disease could have a genetic cause only adds to the individual’s vulnerability.

According to Dr. Surya Ganduri recent neuroscience research has demonstrated that the placebo effect, where healing is mediated by a positive thought, is not purely a psychological phenomenon as previously thought. In fact, it has shown just the opposite; that patient’s perceptions / beliefs stimulate the brain to manufacture a wide variety of bio-chemicals that impact the health of the body.

A new study in USA, Spain, and France, as reported in Psychoneuroendocrinology, provides scientific proof of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of mindfulness practice. What that means is that by changing your perception, your mind can alter the activity of your genes (DNA Activation) by creating coherence between our beliefs and the reality we experience.
