The Psychic Roots of Disease: According to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature by Björn Eybl
---------------------------------------------------------
The Psychic Roots of Disease: According to the 5 Biological Laws of Nature by Austrian naturopath and physiotherapist Björn Eybl is a comprehensive reference guide to alternative health.
The core thesis of the book is that physical illnesses—ranging from common rashes and allergies to heart disease and cancer—are not malicious failures of the body, random genetic errors, or external attacks. Instead, Eybl argues that diseases are meaningful, evolutionarily programmed biological responses triggered by acute emotional or psychological shock.
1. Overall Book Overview
The book functions primarily as a desk reference and self-help guide.
The Psychic Conflict (Root Cause): The exact emotional shock or "conflict theme" that triggered the physiological reaction (e.g., a "territory loss" conflict affecting the coronary arteries, or a "bite/defense" conflict affecting the teeth).
The Organ Level: How the tissue or organ structurally changes during different phases of the shock.
The Brain Level: The corresponding area of the brain affected during the conflict.
Support Options: Practical advice, naturopathic aids, and psychological resolution strategies.
2. Deep Dive: The Introduction
The Introduction sets the theoretical foundation for the rest of the reference manual. It shifts the paradigm from "treating symptoms" to "understanding biological purpose." Here is how Eybl structures the foundational concepts in the introduction:
A. The Core Premise: DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome)
Eybl introduces the concept of a DHS—a unexpected, highly acute, isolating conflict shock that strikes an individual off-guard.
When a DHS occurs, it simultaneously impacts three levels of the human organism:
The Psyche: The mind experiences emotional shock and enters a state of obsessive stress/thinking about the event.
The Brain: The shock registers instantly in a specific region of the brain, creating a target-like configuration visible on a brain CT scan (known as a Hamer Focus).
The Organ: The specific brain region commands the corresponding organ to change—either by multiplying cells (tumor/growth), breaking down cells (ulcer/necrosis), or altering function (paralysis, diabetes) to help the individual survive the conflict.
B. The 5 Biological Laws of Nature
The introduction breaks down the core pillars of the paradigm:
The Iron Law of Cancer/Disease: Every "disease" begins with a DHS. The specific nature of the conflict dictates where the Hamer Focus appears in the brain and which organ will be affected.
The Two-Phase Nature of All Biological Programs:
Active Phase (Sympathicotonia): The body goes into prolonged fight-or-flight. Cold hands, insomnia, stress, weight loss, and active tissue change (tumor growth or cell loss depending on tissue type).
Healing Phase (Vagotonia): Triggered immediately once the conflict is resolved (Conflictolysis). The body shifts into resting, inflammation, fever, pain, and cell rebuilding/cleanup. Eybl emphasizes that most "symptoms" people see doctors for (fever, pain, fatigue) are actually signs of the body healing, not breaking down.
The Ontogenetic System of Diseases: The behavior of tissues depends on which embryonic germ layer they originated from (Endoderm, Mesoderm, or Ectoderm). For example, older brain-controlled tissues build up cells during the active conflict phase, while newer cortex-controlled tissues break down cells during the active phase.
The Ontogenetic System of Microbes: Microbes (fungi, bacteria, viruses) are re-framed not as dangerous invaders, but as biological workers managed by the brain to clear out unnecessary tissue or rebuild degraded tissue during the healing phase.
The Quintessence (Meaningful Biological Special Program): Disease is not a error of nature; every symptom is part of an evolutionary program designed to help an organism overcome an unprecedented, life-threatening situation.
C. Left/Right Handedness & Biological Lateralization
Eybl spends part of the introduction explaining how to determine a person's biological dominance (via the "clapping test"). In GNM:
Right-handed people: The right side of the body relates to partners/equals (spouses, siblings, colleagues), while the left side relates to mother/child.
Left-handed people: The biological relationships flip across the body's hemispheres.
D. The Practical Goal of the Book
The introduction concludes by clarifying the role of the practitioner or self-healer:
Identify the DHS: Uncover the exact moment and emotional tone of the initial shock.
Resolve the Conflict: Either real-world action must be taken to resolve the issue, or the individual must reframe their emotional reaction so the body can exit the stress phase.
Manage the Healing Phase: Help the patient navigate the uncomfortable (and sometimes intense) symptoms of the healing phase without falling into panic, which would trigger a new conflict shock (e.g., a "diagnosis shock").
In Björn Eybl’s The Psychic Roots of Disease, the section titled "The Five Biological Laws of Nature" serves as the theoretical engine that powers the entire book.
While conventional medicine views disease as a malfunction, a bacterial/viral attack, or a genetic mistake, these five laws—originally formulated by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer—reframe illness as a Sensible Biological Special Program (SBS).
The 1st Biological Law: The Iron Rule of Cancer (The Trigger)
The Concept: Every biological program (what we call "disease") originates from an unexpected, highly acute, isolating conflict shock—termed a DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome).
The Mechanism: The shock happens simultaneously across three levels: the Psyche, the Brain, and the Organ.
The Rule of Content: The specific emotional theme of the shock determines the exact relay point affected in the brain (the Hamer Focus) and the precise organ tissue affected.
For instance, a "fear of death" conflict affects the lung alveoli, while a "separation" conflict affects the outer skin.
The 2nd Biological Law: The Two-Phase Nature of All Special Programs
Every program has two distinct phases, provided the emotional conflict is eventually resolved:
1) Conflict-Active Phase (CA Phase / Sympathicotonia):
- The individual is under continuous stress, running cold hands, experiencing racing thoughts, and losing weight.
- On the organ level, cells either multiply (to build a tumor) or break down (ulcerate), depending on the tissue type.
2) Post-Conflict Healing Phase (PCL Phase / Vagotonia):
- Triggered by Conflictolysis (conflict resolution). The body shifts into deep rest.
- Eybl’s key takeaway: Most symptoms that lead people to visit a doctor—fever, pain, inflammation, exhaustion, and swelling—occur here during the healing process, not while the disease is "actively taking over".
- The Epileptoid Crisis: Midway through healing, the body experiences a short, intense spike of stress (e.g., heart attack, asthma attack, epileptic fit, or sudden fever spike) designed to press water/edema out of the brain tissue so the organ can recover.
The 3rd Biological Law: The Ontogenetic System of Special Programs
This law links tissue behavior to Embryology. How tissue reacts during the active phase versus the healing phase depends on which of the three evolutionary embryonic germ layers it stems from:
Endoderm (Oldest Brain / Brainstem): Relates to basic survival (gasping for air, absorbing food morsels). Builds cells/tumors in the active phase; degrades excess cells in the healing phase.
Mesoderm (Old Brain / Cerebellum & New Brain / Cerebral Medulla): Relates to protection, structural integrity, and self-worth.
Ectoderm (Newest Brain / Cerebral Cortex): Relates to territorial boundaries, social contact, and communication.
Loss of cells (ulceration/erosion) in the active phase; cell restoration, inflammation, and reconstruction in the healing phase.
The 4th Biological Law: The Ontogenetic System of Microbes
Eybl explains that microbes (fungi, mycobacteria, bacteria, and viruses) are not hostile invaders trying to destroy the body. Instead:
Microbes act as biological micro-surgeons and cleanup crews managed directly by the brain.
They only become active in the Healing Phase (PCL Phase).
Example: Fungi or TB bacteria break down excess tumor cells that are no longer needed after a digestive conflict is resolved. Bacteria step in to rebuild degraded tissue (like bone or muscle tissue) during its repair phase.
The 5th Biological Law: The Quintessence
This is the philosophical culmination of the framework:
Disease is not a defect: Every so-called disease is a Meaningful Biological Special Program (SBS) created by nature over millions of years of evolution to aid survival.
What we call "symptoms" are simply logical biological adaptations to an extraordinary emotional crisis. Once the individual understands the biological purpose of the response, fear dissipates, allowing the body to complete its natural two-phase cycle.
In The Psychic Roots of Disease, the concept of Conditioning (often referred to in Germanic New Medicine as "Tracks" or "Schienen") forms a crucial piece of how chronic illnesses, recurring allergies, and relapses are explained.
While the Five Biological Laws lay out how an initial shock (a DHS) activates a biological program, the section on conditioning explains why symptoms keep returning long after the original emotional crisis seems to have passed.
1. The Core Concept: What is Conditioning / "Tracks"?
Eybl explains that at the exact millisecond a biological shock (DHS) occurs, the subconscious mind acts like a camera taking a panoramic snapshot. It captures not just the emotional stress of the event, but every sensory detail present in the surrounding environment.
These accompanying sensory details are called Tracks. They act as biological memory traces or conditioned triggers:
Sensory Input: Foods, smells, pollen, animal dander, weather conditions, sounds, lighting, or specific people present during the shock.
Internal Input: Specific thoughts, body positions, or moods felt at the exact moment of the shock.
Once the initial shock establishes the track, whenever the individual encounters any of those environmental elements again, the subconscious mind flags a warning: "Watch out, this is similar to that dangerous situation!" The brain then instantly reactivates the biological program (SBS), leading to a relapse of physical symptoms.
2. How Conditioning Explains "Allergies" and Chronic Conditions
In conventional medicine, allergies are viewed as an overreaction of an erratic immune system to harmless external substances (e.g., peanuts, grass pollen, cat hair). Eybl reframes allergies entirely through the lens of conditioning:
The Allergen as a Track: An allergen is simply a secondary element that was present during an initial emotional shock.
Example (Hay Fever / Pollen): If someone receives a devastating breakup talk outdoors in a park during springtime, the emotional shock might be a "separation conflict" or "scare-fright conflict." The subconscious links the intense emotion to the heavy presence of birch pollen in the air. Decades later, the person's brain associates birch pollen with emotional danger, triggering a runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes (the biological repair phase of the nasal mucosa) every spring—even though they no longer consciously think about their ex.
3. Breaking the Conditioning: Therapeutic Approaches
Eybl emphasizes that treating chronic symptoms requires identifying not only the primary conflict, but also all associated conditioned tracks. In the therapeutic framework of the book, resolving conditioning involves a few key steps:
Track Identification (Detective Work): The individual traces their symptoms back to the very first time the reaction occurred. What was happening in their life at that exact moment? Who was there? What was in the environment?
Making the Connection Conscious: Once the mind realizes that the pollen, food, or environmental trigger was merely an innocent "bystander" during a past emotional shock, the subconscious warning system decouples the track from the emotional danger.
Real-World Resolution: Bringing the initial conflict to a complete mental or practical resolution signals to the nervous system that the threat is permanently over, disabling the track's ability to re-trigger the biological program.
In Björn Eybl’s The Psychic Roots of Disease, the section/chapter titled "Diagnosis" (or Making a Diagnosis) addresses a major practical dilemma in Germanic New Medicine (GNM): how to reverse-engineer symptoms to find the underlying emotional conflict.
Because traditional medicine and GNM look at illness through opposite lenses, Eybl uses this chapter to explain how to properly interpret conventional medical diagnoses, read physical clues, and conduct a "biological investigation."
1. The Critique of Conventional "Diagnosis"
Eybl begins by pointing out that a standard medical diagnosis (e.g., "arthritis," "eczema," or "cancer") is usually just a description of a symptom or a label given to a localized tissue change.
In Eybl’s view, conventional diagnostic labels often do two damaging things:
They cause "Diagnosis Shock": Telling a patient they have a terrifying or "incurable" disease triggers a brand-new biological shock (such as a death-fright conflict affecting the lungs or a existential/territory conflict affecting the kidneys), which starts secondary biological programs (what conventional medicine calls metastases).
They misinterpret the phase: Standard diagnostics often treat the body's healing phase (swelling, fever, inflammation, tumors being broken down by bacteria) as the "onset" of a disease that needs to be fought or destroyed.
2. The Three Steps of a GNM Diagnosis
To make an accurate assessment according to the Biological Laws, Eybl outlines a specific investigative process:
Step A: Translate the Symptom into Tissue & Germ Layer
Instead of relying on a broad medical name, you must identify the exact tissue affected.
Example: "Breast cancer" isn't specific enough. Is it the milk duct lining (ectoderm = separation conflict) or the glandular tissue (endoderm = worry/nesting conflict)?
Step B: Determine the Phase (Conflict-Active vs. Healing Phase)
The diagnostic process must identify where the person currently stands in the two-phase cycle:
Cold Symptoms (Active Phase): Cold hands/feet, weight loss, stress, insomnia, loss of tissue (ulceration) or silent cell growth.
Warm Symptoms (Healing Phase): Fever, pain, inflammation, swelling, night sweats, fatigue.
Step C: Check Lateralization & Handedness
The diagnosis requires testing whether the individual is biologically right-handed or left-handed (via the clapping test) to determine whether the symptom relates to a mother/child conflict or a partner/equal conflict (spouses, siblings, business partners).
3. Diagnostic Tools Used in the Book
Eybl explains how a GNM practitioner or self-investigator uses various tools to pinpoint the root cause:
Anamnesis (The Subjective Interview): Asking precise questions about the patient's life around the time symptoms began. Eybl stresses going back to the exact week or month before the initial symptom appeared to find the unexpected event (DHS).
Brain CT Scans (CT without contrast): In GNM, a brain scan is considered an objective diagnostic tool. The presence of concentric rings (Hamer Focus) shows the exact conflict type, whether it is currently active (sharp edges) or in the healing phase (blurred edges with swelling/edema).
Organ/Body Clues: Pain locations, skin reactions on specific sides of the body, or specific organ behaviors serve as "maps" to the exact emotional theme.
Summary of the "Diagnosis" Chapter
Ultimately, Eybl’s chapter on Diagnosis is about turning medical detective: translating a physical symptom back to the exact emotional shock that triggered it, so the individual can understand where they are in the biological program and remove the panic surrounding their health.In Björn Eybl’s The Psychic Roots of Disease, the section/chapter titled "Therapy" (or Therapeutic Considerations) addresses how to practically apply the principles of Germanic New Medicine (GNM) once a biological conflict and its corresponding phase have been identified.
Because GNM does not view disease as an attack by external pathogens or an intrinsic system failure, Eybl’s approach to "therapy" differs radically from conventional treatment. It is not about "fighting" the illness, but rather guiding the individual through the biological process safely, calmly, and with minimal panic.
1. The Core Objective: "De-clutched" Awareness & Fear Reduction
Eybl stresses that the single most important therapeutic step is removing fear.
In conventional medicine, receiving a serious diagnosis often triggers intense panic, which Eybl calls a secondary "Diagnosis Shock." This panic can activate new Biological Special Programs (e.g., a "fear of death" conflict affecting the lung alveoli, or an "existence/refugee" conflict affecting the kidney collecting tubules).
The primary goal of therapy is education:
When a person understands why their body is reacting (e.g., recognizing that pain, fever, or swelling are signs of the healing phase), panic dissolves.
Removing panic prevents secondary conflict shocks and allows the body to complete its natural healing cycle without complication.
2. Strategy for the Conflict-Active Phase (CA Phase)
If a person is determined to be in the active phase of a shock (running cold hands, weight loss, racing thoughts, insomnia, and active tissue change), the therapeutic mandate is Conflict Resolution (Conflictolysis).
Eybl outlines three main ways to resolve a conflict:
Real-World Resolution (Practical Action): Changing the actual life situation. For example, leaving a toxic job, settling a legal dispute, or resolving a severe family disagreement.
Psychological/Emotional Resolution (Reframing): If the external circumstances cannot be changed (e.g., the death of a loved one or a past financial loss), the individual must reframe their perception of the event so their subconscious stops registering it as an active, ongoing threat.
Down-transforming the Conflict: If a conflict cannot be fully resolved, the goal is to reduce its intensity ("down-transforming" it) so the biological impact on the organ is minimized and manageable.
3. Strategy for the Healing Phase (PCL Phase)
If the conflict has already been resolved and the person is experiencing symptoms like pain, inflammation, exhaustion, skin eruptions, or fever, the conflict is already over. The goal here is not to "stop" the healing, but to help the body navigate it comfortably:
Rest and Energy Conservation: The healing phase is dominated by the parasympathetic nervous system (Vagotonia). Deep rest, warmth, and sleep are essential to allow tissue restoration.
Managing the "Healing Crisis" (Epileptoid Crisis): Midway through the healing phase, the body undergoes a sharp, brief spike of stress (e.g., an asthma attack, sudden fever, or intense headache) designed to push edema out of the brain and organ tissue. Eybl emphasizes that knowing this event is coming prevents panic when symptoms temporarily intensify.
Supportive Naturopathy & Homeopathy: Eybl (a trained naturopath and physiotherapist) recommends supportive gentle measures—such as herbal teas, gemmotherapy, homeopathic remedies, dietary shifts, or local compresses—to ease discomfort, lower extreme swelling, and support organ recovery during the repair phase.
4. Handling The Kidney Collecting Tubule (KCT) Syndrome
Eybl highlights a critical therapeutic concept known as The Syndrome (the involvement of the Kidney Collecting Tubules):
If a person enters a healing phase for any organ while simultaneously experiencing an active kidney collecting tubule conflict (a "water retention," "existence," or "feeling alone/refugee" conflict), the body retains excessive fluid.
This excess water selectively accumulates in the healing organ and its corresponding brain relay, turning mild, manageable healing swelling into severe, painful, or life-threatening complications.
Therapeutic priority: In such cases, the top priority is resolving the kidney conflict first—ensuring the patient feels safe, supported, and no longer abandoned—which triggers the immediate excretion of retained fluid (polyuria).
Summary Comparison: Conventional Therapy vs. Eybl's Approach
------------------------------------------In the concluding sections and final commentary of The Psychic Roots of Disease, Björn Eybl synthesizes the theoretical laws and individual organ references into overarching practical wisdom.
The closing of the book shifts from an organ-by-organ diagnostic guide to a broader philosophical and practical outlook on health, personal responsibility, and living without medical fear.
1. Summary of Closing Themes & Takeaways
A. Overcoming the Paradigm of Fear
The core philosophical takeaway at the end of Eybl's work is the elimination of health-related anxiety. Eybl argues that the greatest barrier to healing is not physical degeneration, but the fear of disease. When symptoms are understood as meaningful biological programs rather than random attacks or biological failures, panic subsides. Removing panic prevents secondary "diagnosis shocks," keeping the body out of compound conflict loops.
B. Taking Personal Ownership of Health
Eybl encourages readers to transition from passive consumers of medicine to active, self-directed observers of their own bodies. The conclusion emphasizes:
Becoming aware of your own life circumstances, emotional stressors, and environmental triggers.
Tracking symptoms back to their initial emotional triggers rather than delegating all understanding to external authorities.
Recognizing that real healing requires addressing real-life conflicts rather than simply attempting to suppress physical symptoms.
C. A Balanced View on Medical Intervention
While Eybl presents Germanic New Medicine (GNM) as a foundational framework, the closing discussions reflect a pragmatic approach to care:
Emergency Medicine: Conventional medicine remains vital for acute trauma, structural damage, or severe life-threatening crises during an intense healing phase (such as extreme swelling or blockages).
Supportive Care: Complementary therapies, naturopathic remedies, nutrition, and rest serve as essential tools to help cushion the body through the discomfort of the healing phase without interrupting the biological program.
D. The Biological Meaning of Life
The final takeaway centers on the 5th Biological Law (The Quintessence): nature makes no mistakes. Every symptom, tissue change, and physiological shift carries an evolutionary purpose designed to aid survival during extraordinary stress. Recognizing this harmony allows individuals to trust their body's inherent wisdom during recovery.
