Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, the founder of Germanic Healing Knowledge (GHK), radically redefined the role of germs, bacteria, fungi, and viruses in health and disease. His conclusions challenge the foundations of germ theory and instead propose a biologically meaningful role for microbes in the healing process — a perspective thoroughly documented in his research and writings.
Here’s a detailed explanation of:
🦠 GHK Perspective on Germs
Germs do not cause disease.
Rather, microbes are activated by the brain to assist in tissue restoration after a biological conflict has been resolved.
🔄 Germs are biological helpers — not invaders.
🔬 Dr. Hamer’s Discoveries
⚖️ Microbes operate only in the healing phase (post-conflict phase) of a biological program.
- After a DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome) — a significant emotional conflict shock — the body enters a conflict-active phase where specific tissues adapt (e.g. grow or ulcerate).
- Once the conflict is resolved, the body enters the healing phase, during which:
- Fungi and mycobacteria (like TB) break down extra cell growth (e.g., tumors from endodermal tissues).
- Bacteria (like staph and streptococcus) help reconstruct ulcerated tissues (e.g., stomach ulcers).
- Viruses (if they exist) supposedly assist in rebuilding tissues derived from the ectoderm (e.g., skin rashes, bronchitis).
Therefore, germs are not the cause but the agents of tissue remodeling — under the direction of the brain.
🧠 How Dr. Hamer Concluded This
Dr. Hamer made these observations through:
1. CT Brain Scans
- He correlated Hamer Herds (concentric rings visible in CT scans of the brain) with corresponding:
- Organs
- Conflict types
- Microbial activity
He consistently saw that microbes became active only after the conflict was resolved.
2. Clinical Cases
- With over 40,000 patient case studies, Dr. Hamer observed that:
- Bacterial or fungal infections occurred only in the healing phase.
- Tuberculosis appeared only when healing from indigestible, territorial, or self-devaluation conflicts.
- Cancer tumors did not “spread” but followed specific brain-organ-conflict patterns.
- The absence of conflict resolution would result in no microbial activity, even if germs were present.
3. Failed Isolation Attempts
- Dr. Hamer pointed out that Koch’s Postulates — the classical criteria for proving causation of disease by microbes — have never been fully met for most alleged pathogenic viruses and bacteria.
- He emphasized that presence of germs does not equate to disease causation.

📎 Key Scientific Points Dr. Hamer Highlighted
- Microbes are endogenously regulated by the brain.
- They are specific to tissue types and conflict phases.
- No disease is contagious in the conventional sense; instead, similar conflicts in a shared environment can lead to synchronized healing phases, giving the illusion of contagion.
- Vaccines and antibiotics disrupt the body’s natural repair processes, often leading to chronic conditions or the shifting of conflicts to other organs.

🔍 Quick Reference Table
| Tissue Origin | Conflict Type | Healing Phase (Microbes Active) | Type of Microbes Used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endoderm | Indigestible, territorial | Tumor breakdown | Fungi / Mycobacteria (e.g., TB) |
| Mesoderm | Self-devaluation | Tissue reconstruction | Bacteria (e.g., staph/strep) |
| Ectoderm | Separation, territorial fear | Mucosal inflammation, skin rash, ulcers | “Viruses”* (e.g., herpes, flu) |
* Dr. Hamer believed viruses were not proven to exist as infectious agents, but considered them part of the body’s repair program if they do exist.
📌 Summary Statement
“Microbes do not cause diseases — they are loyal helpers of nature, assigned to work during the healing phase, under the precise command of the brain, to restore the body to its original balance.”
— Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer
