Basics of Germanic Healing Knowledge (GHK)
A simple introduction
Germanic Healing Knowledge (GHK), discovered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, explains that every physical or psychological symptom is part of a meaningful, biological program designed to help a person survive an unexpected conflict shock.
GHK is based on Five Biological Laws:
1. First Biological Law – DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome)
Every disease starts with a highly acute, isolating conflict shock that catches us unexpectedly.
At that moment:
- The psyche
- The brain
- The organ
enter a biological program together.
2. Second Biological Law – Two-Phase Pattern
If the conflict is not immediately resolved, the individual enters the:
- Conflict-active phase (CA-phase) – cold hands, stress, overthinking, insomnia, weight loss.
- Healing phase (PCL-phase) – starts only when the conflict is resolved; warm hands, fatigue, swelling, inflammation, pain.
There is usually an epileptoid crisis in the middle: a brief peak to push the body back to normal.
3. Third Biological Law – Embryology Determines Organ Response
Depending on which brain layer controls the tissue, the organ will:
- Either lose cells,
- Gain cells, or
- Lose function
in the conflict-active phase — and reverse this in the healing phase.
4. Fourth Biological Law – Microbes Assist Healing
Fungi, bacteria, and viruses (if they exist) are helpers, not enemies. They shape tissue repair during the healing phase.
5. Fifth Biological Law – Biological Meaning
Every “disease” has a meaningful biological purpose — it is not a mistake of nature.
GHK Perspective on Bipolar Disorder
(Based on learninggnm.com explanations of mood conflicts + Björn Eybl’s mapping of brain relays and psyche)
In GHK, “bipolar disorder” is not a disease but a pattern of alternating biological conflicts, usually two opposite conflict themes affecting the cerebral cortex (territorial areas, identity areas, separation areas).
GHK explains bipolar-type symptoms as:
1. Alternation Between Two Conflicts
According to Dr. Hamer and Björn Eybl:
A “bipolar” presentation usually happens when two different conflicts alternate, for example:
- Territorial loss conflict → causes depressive, low-energy, withdrawn state
- Territorial anger conflict → causes manic, restless, expansive state
The person swings between these depending on:
- Which conflict is active
- Which conflict is resolved
- The intensity of each conflict
This alternation gives the clinical picture of mood swings.
2. “Depressive Phase” = Conflict-Active Phase of a Territorial Loss
GHK says depressive symptoms occur when someone is in a territorial loss conflict, such as:
- “I lost my place”
- “I lost my people”
- “Someone took my role”
- “I’m pushed out”
In the active phase:
- Sadness
- Loss of appetite
- Low drive
- Insomnia
- Freeze/immobilization feeling
Brain relay: Right temporal cortex, controlling territorial/identity zones.
Björn Eybl confirms:
Territorial loss conflicts produce depressed feelings during conflict activity.
3. “Manic Phase” = Conflict-Resolved Phase of a Territorial Anger or Identity Conflict
When a person resolves a territorial anger or identity conflict, they enter the healing phase, which may feel like:
- Euphoria
- Overactivity
- Grand ideas
- Increased social drive
- Reduced inhibition
- Feeling “on top of everything”
This is not pathology — it is PCL phase physiology:
- Warm body
- Increased energy
- Swelling in the brain area
- Emotional release
This resembles what mainstream psychiatry labels “mania.”
4. The Alternation Happens Because Conflicts Interfere With Each Other
GHK calls this “alloying conflicts” or conflict constellations.
A constellation forms when:
- Two conflicts are active in the brain at the same time
- Or one is active and one is in healing
- Or the two switch frequently
The temporal relays in the cerebral cortex are especially known for producing “psychological constellations.”
Bipolar constellation = typically a combination of:
- Territorial loss
- Territorial anger
- Identity/self-worth conflict
The brain shows the behavior as a survival strategy, not as disorder.
5. No Incurable Mental Illness – Only Biological Programs
GHK asserts:
- Mood swings are conflict-driven rhythms, not chemical imbalance.
- When conflicts are identified and resolved, bipolar patterns stop naturally.
- No medication is required; the brain and organ simply complete the biological cycles.
Björn Eybl also emphasizes:
Mental symptoms are always part of cerebral cortex conflict constellations and are reversible when conflicts are settled.
Example Scenarios (GHK Framework)
Example 1: A young man loses his job
- Conflict: Territorial loss (“My place is taken”)
- Enters depressive CA-phase → feels low, withdrawn.
A few weeks later he finds new work: - Conflict resolves → PCL-phase → suddenly energetic, optimistic, hyperactive.
This gets labelled “bipolar” but is only two-phase biology.
Example 2: A woman oscillates between anger and guilt
- Conflict 1: Territorial anger (“How dare they!”) → active phase → restless, manic-like
- Conflict 2: Identity loss (“Who am I now?”) → active during guilt moments → depressive
The alternation between the two creates bipolar-type cycling.
Simple Summary
GHK sees bipolar disorder as:
✔️ Not a disorder
✔️ Not a chemical imbalance
✔️ Not genetic
But as:
A conflict constellation involving two opposite themes that switch in activity and resolution.
The person does not “have bipolar.”
The person is experiencing natural biological programs governed by the brain.
When the underlying conflicts are recognized, expressed, and resolved, the entire bipolar pattern disappears.
