German New Medicine or Germanic Healing Knowledge was discovered by Dr. Ryke Gerd Hamer in the early 1980s. Although it is a relatively recent finding it is the only paradigm that I have come across that is actually both reasonable and consistent. This paradigm provides an answer to all the times you have likely asked "why did this happen?".
It acknowledges the psyche/brain/organ connection and outlines how the adaptations our bodies make in response to conflicts are bio-logical solutions. As a society, we have definitely strayed from bio-logical living and although this often brings with it wonderful things like travel, convenience and increased access to knowledge it also brings with it many things that go against nature like elderly care homes, being away from home and family for extended periods and even sitting in a classroom instead of exploring. Simply put, the existential needs of our soul (food, shelter, procreation and community) are not necessarily front and centre in our conscious minds but they still rule our psyche (the unconscious mind) and this is what determines if and how we perceive a conflict.
According to Dr. Hamer, there are 3 criteria that determine if we experience a bio-logical conflict.
1. Highly acute/dramatic
2. Being caught off guard/on the wrong foot
3. Isolative felt
From the smallest to the grandest of conflicts, once initiated, the body starts with physical adaptations to better deal with said issue and return as quickly as possible to homeostasis. These adaptations all have a bio-logical purpose such as to increase the production of something (mucus, O2 intake or hormones for example), protect oneself from attack or build up soft tissue for better "abilities". The body, if given the chance and if the conflict is fully resolved, WILL return the tissues back to normal and in some cases we will remain with increased tissue for longstanding benefits/strength. Simple examples could be a cold or an earache for a few days, joint or muscle pain that "comes out of nowhere" or an ovarian cyst. You will see that these are all adaptations your body made to HELP you and when we recognize that we are way more gentle with ourselves and that is a wonderful place to start!
