Germanic New Medicine (GNM) is a fairly new science in the field of medicine discovered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer in the early 1980s. A German medical doctor, Dr. Hamer, identified correlations between physical symptoms, our brain, and emotional distress in our lives (this emotional distress is known as “conflict shock”). Through his research, he provided a set of principles that can help identify what symptoms and organs are controlled from certain areas of the brain and the types of emotional distress that had been experienced. GNM helps us understand both the development and the natural healing of diseases based on what Dr. Hamer coined as the Five Biological Laws of Nature.
