Thoughts on Dr. Hamer’s ‚German New Medicine' concepts
regarding the emotional genesis of cancer:
on the impact of environmental toxins,
nutritional deficiencies, energetic
and spiritual influences
by Ulla, creator of Healing Cancer Naturally © 2006
I am fascinated by Dr. Hamer's novel approach to the causation of cancer and believe that it contains much ground-breaking truth. Dr. Hamer in my eyes is an
outstanding genius and amazing pioneer who has broken major new ground in the field of medicine, health, disease and healing.
What strikes me however is the following puzzling observation: if the sole true cause of cancer indeed lies in unresolved (unexpected) shocks and conflicts
etc., why then is there so much more cancer and other illness than before, such as cancer rates which have increased fiftyfold over the last 100 years.
It seems highly unlikely that this increase in malignant disease incidence should correlate with a corresponding fiftyfold rise in unexpected stress and trauma
levels, especially since the increase observed has been happening gradually, regularly and continuously.
Nutritional & environmental factors
What seems more likely in my eyes is that this increase is directly related to two factors:
(1) rising overall environmental toxicity levels on the one hand (e.g. there have been c. 100,000 new chemicals introduced into our environment and living
space over the last 86 years) and
(2) soils and food supplies becoming more and more denatured, demineralized, devitalized and processed on the other,
both leading in their turn to internal toxic pollution and a number of nutritional deficiencies both of which weaken the human body and its cellular terrain’s
capacity to uphold homeostasis and healthy functioning in the face of toxic aggression.
To give an example of the former connexion, there is a strong correlation between water fluoridation and rising cancer incidence: a few years after the introduction of
fluoridation cancer rates increased in the affected areas. Another example (among many possible ones) would be the observed link between breast cancer incidence and chest exposure to ionizing radiation (Fluoroscopy / Mammography / Medical X-Rays).
For powerful illustrations of the highly probable contributing role of nutritional deficiencies and dietary cellular toxins in cancer causation, I would point
the reader to Dr. Johanna Budwig’s scientific diet & protocol as well as the article The importance of minerals and trace elements for health and cancer prevention.
So while stressful emotional factors would continue to play a role in negatively affecting normal cellular functioning and health as studied and elaborated on
by Dr. Hamer, their "cancer-causing potential" would be highly magnified by assaultive environmental and nutritional factors. These latter, both in themselves and in combination, constitute stressful and weakening
influences for the cells of the human body and render them less able to naturally resist deleterious (and possibly disease-causing) influences such as conflicted emotions. In fact, Annette Stahel’s My interpretation of New Medicine elegantly incorporates these environmental and nutritional factors into a very “holistic” view of Dr. Hamer’s New Medicine.
Beyond DHS: additional factors that decide on health or disease?
Here is an “inverted example” showing that it can’t be true that disease (and particularly cancer) invariably
arises from unexpected and unresolved DHS shocks and conflicts, with “conflict resolution” [or spiritual acceptance] providing the sole saving grace: a real-life story of someone who experienced multiple DHSs without resolution but who didn’t develop illness. This true story also points to additional (healing) factors playing a part in whether illness ensues or health is maintained (or reestablished):
A person I know (I will call her Grace) experienced something in early adolescence which literally "ended her world". The following years, she
thought of killing herself a thousand times (and also made a real suicide attempt with hospital stay, and another half-hearted attempt to take her own life). She never talked about this devastating event to anyone until
undergoing primal therapy ten years later. She was too ashamed and shocked by it (no, it wasn't a rape, it was worse and purely experienced on the emotional plane [she
experienced rape as well, but much later]). Many years afterwards, she still psychologically grapples with its aftermath. She is enormously assisted in this by her vastly expanded outlook on life which includes insights into the deeper meaning of suffering as a teacher of higher qualities, the concept of ‘karma’, simultaneous time, probable realities etc. Additionally, this adolescent "DHS event" had mirrored the devastating "end of her world" which she already experienced when her beloved father (whose pet she was) died when she was only two, with her family "turning into hell" as a consequence. After neither of these classical DHS events (defined as "totally unexpected, taking the person on the wrong foot, experienced in utter hellish loneliness and sensed as the most serious, dramatic and devastating shock they had ever known") did she develop cancer or other noticeable health effects or illness as she "should" have according to the findings of Dr. Hamer. So what happened? Are there additional factors and mechanisms involved before a body develops a manifest case of cancer, beyond the factors Dr. Hamer discovered and observed? What could they be?
What immediately springs to mind in the above case is the following: about two years after the event, Grace read about a starvation catastrophe that had
recently killed 1.5 million people. For the first time in those two years, she broke down and cried, thinking how truly insignificant her own suffering seemed compared to the suffering of millions that nobody appeared to
have cared about... She made a pledge to herself then and there to devote her life to abolish suffering in the world ... and she has stayed true to it. Now a c. two-year timespan is what it takes according to Dr. Hamer for
illness to manifest. Could it be that by turning her life over to service to others, she made space in herself for an infusion of energies of a healing nature? In fact, this tallies with Edgar Cayce’s statement from Reading
3121-1: "... as the body may dedicate its life and its abilities to a definite service, to the Creative Forces, or God, there will be healing forces brought to the body."
Now I am not saying that this is what happened in this case since I evidently do not know. What I am
trying to convey is that there are other possible highly influential factors besides those so briliantly researched by Dr. Hamer, and that these factors can make or break a person’s health independently of emotional impacts.
Summary
None of the above is meant to say that some or many or even all cases of cancer are not exactly due to (or at least co-created by) and resolvable via the
mechanism described by Dr. Hamer. In fact I consider it highly likely that the observed correlation DHS-Hamer focus-disease is absolutely correct and true for most or in fact all people who have developed manifest disease
(cancer).
What I don't think correct is
to conclude that unexpected abysmal shocks always lead to illness and that their effects can’t be buffered, neutralized or healed by means other than
their being personally resolved or spiritually accepted.
to widely ignore or downgrade any naturopathic nutritional/lifestyle/environmental approaches such as for instance Dr. Johanna Budwig’s diet & protocol which have amply proven that cancer is often, to all intents and purposes, healable via simple natural means, such as dietary upgrades, inner and outer detoxification and environmental clean-ups.
I do wonder if Dr. Hamer would wish to expand his concepts if he started (for instance) researching people like those in the above-referenced examples who do
not fall ill or who recover after a DHS (in spite of their conflict remaining unresolved, or not having found a way to come to terms with it spiritually) thanks to other healing influences.
So how do we best heal cancer?
I do not pretend to know where anyone’s particular problem may, at its most basic causative level, originate from, nor what anyone’s best path to healing
should look like. (Though my personal preference goes to believing that fundamentally we are spiritual or energetic beings, and that the most fundamental root cause of everything in our lives can be found and addresssed in these ‘areas’ [whatever that means in detail, largely yet to be scientifically explored].)
To address the concrete issue of the most efficient manner of healing cancer with respect to Dr. Hamer’s approach: What I have seen, is at least one
person who seemed to overly concentrate on the emotional/Hamer aspect of her breast cancer while the cancer got increasingly worse (I will spare the reader details, also I do not know her current health status).* On the other
hand, I have seen people on the simple but scientific Budwig protocol get better and even apparently fully healed, without doing mental/emotional work (as far as I know)**. Hence to both ensure healing of any current health issues, "remaining healed" in the long term and forestalling any new health crises, I recommend embracing a truly holistic approach which neglects neither the physical, nor the emotional, nor the mental, nor the spiritual (in particular). So in healing, it's balancing and addressing every aspect of our being that seems ideal, "holistic" and most promising to me ...
* In fact, Dr. Willibald Stangl, a long-time loyal and vocal supporter of Dr. Hamer’s
German New Medicine, writes: ‘...the resolution of the conflict increases the chance of healing considerably. However, from my practical experience I have to admit that the majority of patients cannot, or are no longer able to
resolve their conflicts because they either can’t get out of their conflict situation or they have a relapse and die.’ Dr. Hamer himself claims a 92% success rate.
** For second thoughts concerning the completeness of their healing, see Budwig protocol & life energies blockages: On the question why the cancer always/sometimes will come back when the Budwig diet is abandoned.
Addendum: Quantum physics: the observer’s expectation determines the outcome
It’s likely that at some level, we all see and attract what we focus on and "want" to see. In fact, someone commented on Dr. Hamer’s findings to the
effect that due to this "mechanism" in place, he attracted the particular patients which indeed mirrored the pattern he had previously observed & discovered.
To conclude these thoughts: thank you, Dr. Hamer
As implied in the foregoing, one of my favourite quotes "search the truth with all your heart but run like mad from anyone pretending to have found
it" (to my mind applicable in ALL areas where different opinions and views exist...) may have a small measure of applicability for Dr. Hamer’s German New Medicine as well. But after all, great (and lonely) pioneers have
often been observed to lay claim to the possession of absolute truths...
That said, I am deeply grateful to Dr. Hamer for his most outstanding contribution to the knowledge about true healing available to humankind. I encourage
everyone in search of healing from cancer to use and learn from Dr. Hamer’s insights to accelerate and optimize their own permanent healing of this dis-ease.
And last but not least, let’s not forget that this great scientist just recently unjustly languished in a French prison for c. seventeen months of
psychological torture (his words). All for having dared to brave the cancer establishment and brought true hope to so many... May our prayers be with Dr. Hamer and may he see the recognition he so richly deserves soon.
