​No one’s had stress this year, right??  LOL.  

Judging by the 48% increase of suicide in rural areas and 34% increase of suicide in cities this year, I would say this year has been an extraordinary year for stress and we have faced stressors we’ve never faced before. 
 
And the holidays are right around the corner. 
 
What do we do? How do we handle this so we can stay as healthy as possible? 
 

General Stress or Conflict Activity?
First, determine if you have generalized stress or if you are conflict active with a biological program. (Not sure what this means? Check out this short video.) 

Stress and conflict activity look a lot alike:

• nervous restlessness,
• faster heartbeat,
• repetitive thoughts (obsessing),
• cold hands and feet,
• slower digestion,
• higher blood pressure, etc. 

 
The difference between the two is that generalized stress isn’t unexpected and it builds slowly.  

With a conflict shock, one of the discoveries Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer made, you experience an unexpected event which shocks your nervous system and turns on a biological program (known more commonly as "diseases") to help you survive. 
 
You generally don’t know definitively which you have UNTIL the issue has resolved and you then have a healing phase (which is known as “being sick”).  Then you realize you’ve been conflict active. 
 
Realize, too, that you can be conflict active for months and think you’re just stressed.  Either way, the actions you can take to reduce the toll these take on your body and health, are the same for generalized stress AND conflict activity.
 

Important Steps 
1. Increase your awareness of yourself: when do you feel distress, even for one second, in your day? 

• “The kids are driving me crazy,” 
• “My senator isn’t voting the way I want him or her to,” 
• “I haven’t seen my parents in over 6 months.” 

 
2. Observe yourself as you feel the feelings that arise.  What can you do in that moment to create a shift for your mind?

3. Can you reframe the situation?
Do your best with this knowing you won't get it 100% at the beginning.  With practice, it gets much easier.

“I’m so glad my kids are enjoying each others company.”  
And then organize an activity for them, or join them in a game of kickball in the yard for 15 mins before you retreat to a task you need to complete.
 
“I’m calling my senator’s office and letting them know how I feel so I can feel empowered that I’ve been heard.”
 Then call their office and voice your concerns.  Know that you’ve done all you can do….until the next election. 
 
“Hey, kids, let’s Facetime with Grandma and Grandpa!”  
​Remind yourself you have the power and ability to reach out and connect and focus on this instead of how long it’s been since you saw your loved ones in person.
 
In each circumstance, you have observed, rather than operated on autopilot, spinning out of control, and you have then taken positive and proactive steps down downgrade your stress or conflict active phase. 

You will find that your stress levels AND your conflict active phases are lessened which is advantageous for your overall health & vitality.

​Give this a try and let me know the results!

​This blog is called “What's the Real Issue? Our Current Status from a GNM Perspective.”

I had to create a title like this because I've been advised not to put the word COVID or coronavirus or pandemic in any subject headings or titles, because they're getting deleted from many of the social media platforms with all the censoring that's occurring unfortunately.

This is the strange alternate reality in which we now live unfortunately. 

I’ll discuss COVID testing ,vaccines, and the current upsurge in COVID cases while there's a decrease in COVID deaths. And it's all from a German New Medicine perspective and it's my opinion. 

I live in Western North Carolina, where we are now required to wear masks when we're in stores. Later, I’ll talk about the mask I made so you can see what my solution was to wearing a mask. I do believe it's important right now to keep your sense of humor and to be creative. 
 
Covid Testing from a GNM perspective 
There are two kinds of tests available for COVID-19. 

In general, a viral test which looks for the virus that supposedly causes this disease and antibody tests, that test for the antibodies, which they believe are produced AFTER you've had a disease.  

They believe antibodies might provide protection from getting infected with the virus again but, of course, there's no guarantee, they say. Why do they even put in this disclaimer? Stay with me on that one. 

So, two types of testing: viral and antibody, and there is so much inaccurate information about these it’s almost difficult to know where to even begin to describe this.

The reason there is so much inaccurate information here is because allopathic medicine began because of the theory that microbes invade our bodies and cause diseases and we have an entire system medicine based on this false theory. 

They even still call it the Germ Theory.  They even admit it hasn’t been proven .
 
Quick Medical History
Louis Pasteur who invented this theory is said to have recanted it before he died; he realized there was no such thing as germs getting into our body and creating havoc. 

That didn’t stop John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and their cronies from having the Flexnor report written which changed the course of medical history in our country in 1910. 

They changed it to the streamlined monopolistic business that we have today.

They knew that to control medicine and the future of medicine, you had to control medical schools and you had to control the new AMA. 

And that is exactly what they did. 

All med schools were required to now teach about drugs that Rockefeller and his cronies held the patents to. 
They knew this would be a good business model, because if you could just kill the germs with their patented drugs, then you wouldn't get sick. 

Well, as you can see, this entire belief system is flawed. It didn't work and it still doesn't work today as people continue to “get sick.”
 
The Beneficial Role of Microbes
Today, Functional Medicine has proven the existence of trillions of microbes in our bodies that are causing us to be sick, in fact, we now know that we can't live without them. They are vital for our life and for our health.

And 35+ years ago,  Dr. Hamer discovered these trillions of microbes have very specific jobs - they either perform cell breakdown or cell replenishment- when we're in the healing phase. This is nature at its finest.

Just because an activated microbe is busy performing a specific task when you have symptoms doesn't mean it CAUSES the symptoms. 

It's like saying eating bread causes people to commit crimes because most people who commit a crime had some form of bread for breakfast that day. 

As if bread is the culprit just like microbes are the culprit. Yeah, I don't think so. 

In fact, the opposite is true: microbes, including viruses, if they exist, are helping us return the body to homeostasis and health.

So, using testing to look for a certain virus or an exome or any other microbe, no matter what you want to call it is irrelevant. It's not causing the symptoms. 

As these tests are discovering, they're finding the supposed virus in many people who don't have symptoms and who will never experience symptoms. 

Yes, of course.  We have billions of these RNA/protein particles they call viruses or exosomes in our bodies and they don't make us sick. That is obvious. 

The Role of Antibodies
Let's look at antibody testing. Modern medicine believes the presence of antibodies means that you have already had a "disease" and that the antibodies that were created because of that disease will now keep you safe... or, at least a little safer because they supposedly fight the virus. 

Again, there is so much just plain wrong with this statemen but let's start with:

Do antibodies really exist? Yes, they do. 

Antibodies however, do not prove the existence of a “virus.”

The existence of antibodies in the body proves the existence of antibodies and that's it.

Consider this:  if you are wounded, let's say you get into a motorcycle accident and you have road rash over half of your body. 

The number of antibodies in your body will rise as your body begins to heal.

Modern medicine knows that antibodies are important for healing. So, because they have to make everything fit the germ theory, they theorized the antibodies fight viruses even though there's no evidence of that.
It's just a theory. Again. 

Dr. Hamer's work confirmed that antibodies alert the body to reactivate a program after a conflict relapse. Anytime a person sets on a track and has a conflict relapse, it's the antibodies that sound the alarm and activate the healing phase yet again. 

Think of any hanging healing; this is what occurs 100% of the time. 

There is no need for any disclaimers, exceptions, or excuses that antibodies may or may not help. 
In GNM we know the antibodies are always helping us to survive and to heal.
 
Testing & Fear
Testing is another source of fear. Will I test positive? Will my spouse test positive? Will I be sick? Will we die? What if, what do I do if it's a false positive, and if it's negative, when should I get tested again?

These are all fear-based questions that run through people's heads and this heightens the nervous system, which makes people more susceptible to experience conflict shocks.
 
Upsurge in Covid Cases and Decrease in Covid Deaths
First, let me say that what I'm about to say is my opinion. And I also want to say, it's probably just part of the answer; I'm sure there's more to it than this especially when you look at demographics, age, comorbidities, etc. I'm really just giving you something to think about here. With that being said: 

If I were to greatly generalize, I would say we have two kinds of people right now:  people who are afraid of catching the Covid virus and people who don't want the government to impose restrictions on them and they think Covid is pretty much a hoax. 

We’re going to call these the Virus folks and the Hoax folks. And I know this is a large generalization, but stay with me for a minute. 

When we first started hearing about COVID back in December/January, the Virus folks got scared. I believe we would say they were probably conflict active to a degree. 

When governments started imposing restrictions and locked down, these people relaxed. 

"Oh, good. The government is finally doing something. I'm not going to come into contact with others so I won't get sick. " 

They then resolved their conflict and they entered the healing phase. That’s right: they were  diagnosed with COVID-19. 

This is exactly what we saw in Italy; I wrote about this in my blog on February 10th. 

This was the initial surge of deaths in the United States in early April. And, as we know, the majority of these folks were over 75. 

Meanwhile, during lock downs and government restrictions, the Hoax folks were chafing at the bit- how dare the government tell me I have to wear a mask, that I can't leave my house that I can't go to work, this is crazy!
 
This started in the United States with the lockdowns in April and continued into May. They were conflict active during the most restrictive time a few months after the virus believers were conflict active. 

The easing of the lockdown in the US began in late May, early June. And my thought is that the Hoax group partially resolved their conflict, “Yay!! We can get out and do things now!” and then they had some symptoms which we would expect. 

And these symptoms weren't nearly as life threatening because it was a partial resolution.

We know the number of deaths has been steadily decreasing since early May, except for one day and that's June 25th.

Then, with the potential of the easing of the lockdown, the Virus folks got scared again. And while we've seen a small increase on some days in deaths, they still aren't dying at the same rate as before. 

And why not? 

It's because the conflict active phase that we're currently seeing in both groups just isn't as intense anymore. 
We've been living with this for a while so it's not the initial shock that we had early on.
And again, this is my theory for what it's worth. 
 
The Rollercoaster & Politics
At this point, we still have fear in the headlines because while the number of deaths has decreased steadily since April, the numbers of people who supposedly test positive has greatly increased because of testing.

Testing, government restrictions, fear of a virus, many people live on this rollercoaster. But you don't have to, you can get off the hamster wheel, which is what I'll talk about soon.

Couple more thoughts on COVID testing: I'm not aware that they've ever tested for the coronavirus, at least not like they are now. 

Remember, the corona virus was first discovered about 70 years ago. It's nothing new. We have many variations of them in our bodies all the time. They are part of nature; we are part of nature.

And then there's politics. Hospitals being told to label deaths as COVID deaths even with a negative Covid test. And so on. 

And according to the CDC: They're no longer saying “COVID,” they're using “PIC” instead which stands for Pneumonia, Influenza or COVID-19.”

Hey, let's just expand the pool here, right? 

This means that someone can test negative for COVID-19, die from pneumonia, and still be counted as part of the COVID-19 pretend pandemic.  

So, politics, of course, muddies the water when it comes to all of the headlines, which stokes the fear and the conflict active/healing phase cycle continues. 
 
Covid Vaccines
People often send me articles and videos about all the horrible stuff that's going to be put in vaccines, how it will alter our DNA, that vaccines will be forced upon us, that we're losing our rights. 

First of all, I want to say I get it!

 I don't like this any more than you do. 

And I want to ask you: Is your nervous system heightened when you think of the vaccines? Do you feel upset about this?

It may not be, but if it is, then consider that your imagining - and the spreading of your imagining - isn't necessarily helping you stay balanced which means you may experience more conflict shocks related to the vaccine.... just like the people afraid of the COVID virus.
 
Reality Check
Let's stay with reality:

Yes, they are designing vaccines.

• Allopathic medicine is a business model and vaccines are good for business. Period.

Yes, the vaccines will have toxic crap in them.

• They rarely make a vaccine without toxic crap. They do, but they don't advertise that.

No, there will be little to no safety testing. 

• This is reality. It is what it is. There's too much pressure to get it to the people who believe in viruses and there is way too much money to be made here.

Beyond that:  it's all speculation. 

Giving energy to the wild fears that speculating brings puts us in a better position to experience a conflict shock. 

We are no more enlightened than people thinking the virus is going to invade our body and make us sick. Right? 

It's the same pattern of fear. We know GNM to be empowering. So let yourself be empowered.
 
GNM Empowerment
Instead, let’s look at WWGNMD?  (What Would GNM Do?)

• Stay calm.
• Call your legislators and let your voice be heard. Call them every day if you want to. 
• Join groups that oppose mandatory vaccines if you need to do more. 
• Teach GNM to everyone you know. 

 
When they finally create a vaccine, stay calm, and be proactive pragmatically.

If it becomes a mandatory vaccine and that's a big IF right now, take care of yourself. What they perceive as a virus in the vaccine won't hurt you. 

And as far as all the toxic crap, research all the ingredients and find out how to detox them all out of your body immediately.  
It is certainly possible to do this and that's what I'm going to do if it comes to that. 
Know that your body is far more resilient and magnificent than your fears are.
 
My Mask
My mask is made out of white lace. 

Yes, I made it. it's basically white lace that I used to make doll clothes for my granddaughter's dolls.  It’s pretty much see-through and I can breathe just fine in it.

In the middle of it, I've written with a black Sharpie “0.0004%” in 1” high numbers so if you're walking past me, you can see them pretty darn well. 

What does 0.0004% represent?

 It's the chances of dying from COVID-19 here in the US. 

• In Italy: your chance of dying is 0.0005% 
• In the UK it's 0.0006% 
• In Australia it's 0.000005%

In other words, your chances of dying from COVID-19, no matter where you are, are infinitesimal. 
 
The Real Issue with Covid
What's the real issue going on in the world today? Is it a virus?? Of course not. 

It's our conflict shocks, which are determined by our psyche’s perception of the events in our lives, which are determined by our beliefs and our fears. 

Testing & vaccines are irrelevant and bogus even though the system we live in doesn't think so. 

But your beliefs and thoughts about testing and vaccines, and viruses, for that matter….. they matter here. 
 
Lost a loved one? 
I want to address anyone reading this who may have lost a loved one to COVID-19 or maybe a family member was very sick of it. And first I want to say, I'm very sorry for your loss. 

I am urging you to please take care of yourself. 

Your fear of the “virus” may be heightened.  “I don't want to get sick!-as you deal with your grief on top of your fear. 

These put you in a more vulnerable position, which increases your chances of having a conflict shock.

Please know that you can empower yourself; everyone can.

Learn from your experiences by looking at them from a different perspective – the GNM perspective. You may see something you've never seen before especially in regards to your loved one. 

The bottom line here for everyone is: Stay out of fear!

Know when your nervous system is heightened and have tools and techniques to bring you into balance. You'll experience less conflict shocks and you'll downgrade conflict shocks more effectively making your healing phase less complicated.

Learn GNM and share it with others, please. As much as you can. 

Know when to use the current medical system we have and learn when it's important to find other answers such as what GNM can give us. 

Check out my course, Beyond Holistic Medicine; anyone around the world can take this as it’s virtual at www.andilockemears.com. 

You are all still in the driver's seat of your own life and your health, even though it may not feel like it.

So, stay rooted in the driver's seat. 

Stay calm and move forward without fear taking action when you need to. 

I mentioned earlier about keeping your sense of humor and being creative. 

I think those are two qualities we could probably all use a little more of right now. 

I've chosen to focus my attention on spreading the news of GNM so I live in my own GNM bubble and I'm really happy there. :)

 I've also taken up watercolor painting and jigsaw puzzles with my husband. How fun is that? Find activities you can do that bring you joy right now, and focus on those. 

Wayne Dyer said, “Everything you are against, weakens you. Everything you are for, empowers you.”

You ARE in control of your thoughts and where are you focus your attention;  

This is your superpower. Never forget that. 

And of course, make that mask out of lace. ;)

​I have heard from so many of you since my last blog and I want to thank you so much for your support and your comments. They have meant a lot much to me! And thank you for the info from around the world; it’s been really helpful.  
 
I must say, I have sat down to write this blog about 15 times in the past 3 weeks and each time, I was sidetracked in my research. 
 
What I found for answers one day, were contradicted the next day so it’s been challenging to wade through all the editorials, the blogs, the articles, the research, etc. to find the information I needed. 
 
I also spoke with doctors and nurses from both sides – mainstream providers from the “front lines” (in quotes because many believe we are at war) and also GNM healthcare providers and got vital information from all of them. 
 
 
Additional Covid19 Symptoms
Have you seen the headlines of all the additional Covid 19 symptoms?  In this article I’ll analyze what these mean and give you ideas on how to move forward. 
 
From high altitude sickness to an increase in blood clots, there have been many more symptoms associated with the corona virus including:  

• Toe infection, 
• Conjunctivitis,
• Body tingles, 
• Skin rash on your torso, 
• Inflamed blood vessels 
• And more. 

 
I’ll cover 19 different symptoms and explain them from a GNM perspective. 
 
Truly, I just have to just shake my head at all of these symptoms because it’s very obvious from a GNM perspective why people are having these particular symptoms – there is no mystery with GNM - and I hope that soon, you’ll also be shaking your head at the miraculous wonder of the human body. 
 
I’ll do my best here with the info I found and please know this may change as more details of each program become available.  
 

Expected Symptoms
This is my 3rd covid19 blog and since my previous two blogs, the current symptoms of the day have varied. 
 
In Feb, the CDC reported just fever, cough, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, pneumonia.  Those are the territorial fear and KCT programs running concurrently which gives us pneumonia. 
 
IN March, they added sinuses to that list: more stink conflicts. 
 
The list as of April 30th from the CDC which has more than doubled:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Chills
• Repeated shaking with chills
• Muscle pain
• Headache
• Sore throat
• New loss of taste or smell

They also say to watch for 

• Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
• New confusion or inability to arouse (which means its hard to wake up after being asleep
• Bluish lips or face

 
All of us who know GNM well have totally expected additional symptoms just like these because we understand how the body works.  As our daily lives have changed, we have experienced additional conflict shocks and additional resolutions.  
 
Our psyche’s have experienced our frustrations and our fears such as our fear of being sick or our loved ones being sick, our fear of death or of our loved ones dying, the loss of contact with our loved ones, our friends, our classmates.
 
Some feel their freedom and liberty have been taken away from them. Many people feel stuck. And the list continues.
 
We are seeing additional symptoms because we have had additional conflict shocks. 
 
Again, these symptoms were expected because of how our media and our government has spread fear and created hardships in our lives all with  - hopefully - the intention of keeping us informed and keeping us healthy. We are now seeing the expected repercussions of these actions.  
 

 
CDC Symptoms
Let’s start with the first grouping of CDC symptoms and I’ll start with the first one: fever. 

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Chills
• Repeated shaking with chills
• Muscle pain
• Headache
• Sore throat
• New loss of taste or smell

 
Fever
Let’s start with the fever: I’ve seen reports that it gets up to 105 F/40.5 C.  

This would indicate the healing phase of an organ or tissue formed by the ectoderm germ layer. The highest temperatures are with these.  

The presence of a fever tells us the conflict has been resolved and the person is now in the healing phase and it’s attempting to restore homeostatis.
 
Chills & headaches:
These, like the fever, are common symptoms for healing phases and they may increase in the EC.
 
The headache is caused by the expected edema or swelling in the lesion in the brain and it’s a protection of the brain so it’s a good thing. 

Next time you have a fever: put an ice bag on your head and that will help reduce the edema. 
 

Muscle pain
Doctors are reporting this in about 15% of coronavirus patients.  

They are labeling it as myalgia which means the inflammation of soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons and fascia and they’re also calling it joint pain.  Generally, these body tissues are associated with self-devaluation conflicts – so, feeling less than; a loss of self esteem.
 
Remember: Conflict shocks for others
Keep in mind: You can also experience a conflict shock for someone else so if you feel bad your loved one is sick or if you feel horrible that thousands of people are sick, these could cause you to experience a conflict shock.  

Repeated shaking with chills 
 couldn’t really determine what kind of shaking was occurring – what it looked like -so I’m going to give you two possibilities.

1. First, chills are common in the healing phase and the higher the temp, the more apt you are to have chills. These would be rapid muscle movements. 
2. The second possibility is that it’s an EC of a motor conflict– so, feeling stuck, like you can’t move – with functional loss of our muscles when we’re upset and then functioning is restored in the healing phase. Feeling stuck would make sense right now as well…..I’m just not sure that stuck programs have been resolved.   At any rate I’ll keep researching this.

Cough
This is the healing phase of the territorial fear program I mentioned in my first Covid 19 blog. 

The shortness of breath or difficulty breathing – I’m going to cover those in a little bit. 


Sore Throat
This is an easy one. It’s the throat mucosa program which is a  “Not wanting to swallow a morsel conflict.” 
In plain English, this means: “I don’t want to accept this”, or “I’m having a really hard time with this.” 

Know anyone who is feeling this right now, right??? 

It’s cell loss in the CA phase and cell replenishment in the healing phase which is a sore throat. 
 

Loss of the sense of smell or taste. 
 
First, I want to remind you of a stink conflict which is the nasal mucosa program. Something stinks, something is lousy, you’re fed up. You lose cells in your sinuses so you can, in theory, no longer smell this thing that is lousy. 
 
Biologically, if you can’t smell it, it’s no longer a problem or a danger to you. This is our psyche taking care of us. The healing phase of this is the common cold. 
 
Let’s look at the Loss of smell.
 
This is an easy one from a GNM standpoint. It involves the olfactory nerves which are the nerves in your nose.  
 
It’s a conflict of not being able to smell something or someone you want to smell or you DO smell something that you don’t want to smell. 
 
It’s slightly different from the stink conflict which is a cell loss. This one is functional loss. The olfactory nerves reduce their functioning which reduces your ability to smell. 
 
Again, it’s your psyche’s way of saying: you miss your loved ones? Let’s reduce your ability to smell them so missing them isn’t as much of a problem. 
 
You have to remember that we are animals and we’re talking survival mechanisms here. In the wild, if you can’t smell danger, then there is no danger. 
 
Taste
 I could not find any detailed info about this one so I'll make a few educated guess.

 It could be the Palate and back 3rd of the tongue conflict which is a conflict of "not being able to not wanting to taste something" – this is usually in regards to food.

It’s cell loss in the CA phase with the loss of taste occurring in the healing phase so, after the conflict has been resolved. 
 
The tricky part is that it’s usually preceded by painful ulcers on the back of the tongue and a real sensitivity to taste – like, suddenly everything you eat tastes awful.  
 
I haven’t seen any reports of these symptoms so I wonder if we just don’t have the full story here. 
 
I think it’s fairly common to lose your smell and taste when you have a healing phase from a bad stink conflict (a common cold), there is a lot of congestion that can block the nerves from working, however, I don’t know if everyone with a loss of smell and taste are having this particular healing phase right now so this will remain a  bit of a mystery until we get more information.  
 
 
Let’s look at the additional symptoms the CDC mentioned are

Persistent pain or pressure in the chest  
I really couldn’t find a lot of exact details about this one so I’m going to make an educated guess that this is the myocardium program - the heart ventricles - which very commonly runs when you have anxiety.

You know that heart pounding feeling?  This conflict is “feeling overwhelmed.”

 A lot of people have this program, in general, including anyone who has sleep apnea. 

Here’s what’s interesting:   In the healing phase of the left ventricle there can be a backup of fluid in the lungs which leads to shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. 

Remember these? I had said I would talk about these later; well, here it is. We'll also see an a strong or fast heartbeat with this program. 

The shortness of breath and breathing difficulties could be due to a pretty intense overwhelm conflict. 

The question to which I could not get an answer is: are we seeing these three symptoms heart pain, breathing difficulties and shortness of breath. together ALL the time in covid patients or not? 

If so, then I think we can say they are all due to the myocardium program but here are other reasons as well, which  we’ll soon see.
 
 
New confusion or inability to arouse (it’s difficult to wake up after sleeping) 
I believe we’re seeing the mental confusion because of a new brainstem constellation.  

After Dr. H discovered the cause of every physical disease, he then turned his attention to what we would call mental illness, behavioral issues and mood disorders. 

He called these Constellations and if this interests you, please subscribe to my mailing list because I teach a class in this.

The simplest explanation of a brainstem constellation is that it involves the conflict activity of the kidney collecting tubules – that’s about feeling abandoned, isolated, or having to stay in the hospital - and the conflict active program of one other program in the opposite brain hemisphere.

There is more to it than that, but you get the idea. As soon as a person has these two conflict active programs running, they will be confused. This is the program that modern medicine calls “dementia.” 

Do you know anyone, especially someone older, who is isolated, alone at home or in the hospital, away from loved ones? 
 

Bluish lips or face
This is the periosteum program which is a severe separation conflict.  The periosteum is the cover – like a glove – over our bones.  This is a pretty intense or brutal separation conflict: we are apart from people we love,  friends, etc.  
 
Real estate comes into play here: location, location, location. Each part of our body means something different because each part of our body has a different function so the location of the skin condition gives us more clues into how to determine the conflict shock, the DHS. 

Lips? What do we do with lips? We kiss with them? So maybe this means we’re not able to kiss our loved ones because we are separated from them? Or we’re too afraid to kiss them because we’ll give them a disease or we’ll get one from them.  

What about a bluish face?  Our face is usually what we show the world.  And now we’re too separated to do this? We can’t face anyone or we may get sick and die?  Again, I’ just guessing here.  

Another thought: When anyone in the world looks at you, they look at your face, right?  We don’t look at each others feet, we look into each others faces and our eyes.  Since we’re isolated, perhaps people are experiencing this as a separation from others; we can’t be seen. 
 
Those were all the CDC symptoms as of April 30th.  Now we’ll look at all the symptoms that have been in the headlines. 
 

Covid toes
This is a purple discoloration and bumps appear on the tops of the toes but also on the sides and bottoms of the feet as well.

Many kids and teens appear to be presenting with this, although adults are, as well.

And once again, we’re seeing the periosteum program which is a severe or brutal separation conflict.  

We are not with the people we want to be with or we want to get away from the people that we ARE with because we’re getting really tired of them.   

Know anyone feeling this way?   

Again, real estate is important. Where is the location of the skin issue?  

Toes are associated with trying to get a grip when something is uncertain, and toes AND our feet are associated with wanting or not wanting to leave a certain place or trying to kick someone or something away, or the ability to move, to dance, to play sports, or to simply move to a certain place because that is what our feet do. 

Do you know anyone who wants to move their body around to a place they can’t go right now?  And we’re seeing this more in kids so parents: it’s really important to get your kids moving right now to anyplace you are able to move to. Get super creative with this. 
 

Skin issues
Doctors are also seeing a measles -like rash and hive-like rash in addition to the covid toes. This is more in adults on their torso. This is also a separation conflict.  Again: location.

What do we do with our torsos?  In my world, when I give someone a big hug our torso’s usually touch; probably in your world too.  I think that’s the most obvious torso rash conflict. We are missing our loved ones, our friends, etc. 
 

Conjunctivitis 
This is a visual separation conflict: we can’t see someone when we want to or we see someone and we don’t want to.  In other words, it’s either that we can’t see our friends and loved ones or we’re tired of being at home and seeing just the family we live with.

When you have conjunctivitis, it occurs in the healing phase, after the issue is resolved. I wonder if we’ll see more of this once kids and adults can see their friends, coworkers, and extended families again.  We’ll see.
 

Body tingling 
This means you’re in the conflict active phase of the periosteum program which I mentioned above with the bluish lips and face. It’s a severe or brutal separation conflict. 

If your whole body is tingling, then we may start to see more “rheumatism” and “Raynaud’s disease.” 

Those are both symptoms of conflict active phases that have lasted a longer amount of time. We may also see more neuropathies which is also the conflict active phase. 

 Once life is more back to normal and the program is resolved, we’ll probably see an increase in numbness in our body and I can’t even imagine what these folks will be diagnosed with at this point.  


Kidney failure
According to Alan Kliger, a nephrologist at the Yale School of Medicine, nearly half of those hospitalized with the virus have blood or protein in their urine, showing early damage to their kidneys, 

I’ve already mentioned the KCT when I talked about the brainstem constellation – the mental confusion or “dementia.” 
 
I really hoped to find more info about the people diagnosed with kidney failure – if the prevalence of confusion is higher with them but I couldn’t find that. 
 
The reason we’re seeing a higher number of kidneys are failing is because they have the kidney collecting tubule program which is an abandonment, isolation, a fear of abandonment or isolation. It’s also called a hospital conflict – so not wanting to be in a hospital or fear of going into one. 
 
I think it’s pretty obvious what this is about for so many people right now.  
 

High Altitude Sickness
Lastly I want to discuss the patients who appear to have high altitude sickness. They arrive in the Emergency Dept without breathing difficulties even though their oxygen levels appear very low, as if oxygen isn’t being circulated in the body.  

This is baffling to doctors because with low oxygen saturation rates, there is usually a lot of not only breathing difficulties but talking difficulties. 

Not so with Covid19 – they have low oxygen saturation rates and they are easily talking on their cells phones. 
I’m also going to tie in the increase in blood clots and the blood vessel inflammation doctors are seeing.    
 

Four programs at once
This appears to be four different programs occurring all at once. 

The first program we’re seeing the lung biological program with often many conflict relapses. This is a death-fright conflict either for yourself, or worrying about others dying. 
 
The old medicine would call this "lung cancer."  There is cell growth in the conflict active phase and cell breakdown in the healing phase and this is when the oxygen levels decrease. This is in the healing phase and is to be expected. 

The healing phase however is getting interrupted with additional conflict shocks – now we’re upset that not only is Grandma sick, but Grandpa may have covid19 as well! 

With enough conflict relapses and vacillating between the conflict active phase and the healing phase, the oxygen levels never have the chance to return to normal so they can be quite low and yet, their ability to talk is still intact. 

We’re not talking long term lung symptoms here which is where we would see the low saturation rates with difficulty talking.

Instead, we’re seeing programs that have been running for a few weeks – 4 weeks? 8? 12 at most? 

And the programs are yoyoing in a dramatic fashion so they don’t look normal.  

This is NOT your normal pneumonia program nor is it a “normal” lung program. 
This is one of the reasons it looks like high altitude sickness. 


The second program we’re seeing is the pleura program in the CA phase.  

The pleura are the membranes that line the lungs and the chest cavity and there is always a little fluid between the membranes.  This program is a conflict of an attack against the chest.  

Examples of this in plain English are: “The doctor told me I have pneumonia”; and even having a bad cough right now in the time of Covid19 could do it.  Think of it as a fear for your heart, your lungs, your chest.

There is cell growth in the conflict active phase so these membranes get thicker to protect us against further attacks which causes chest tightness. . eventually, months later, when the lungs have reduced functioning, we’ll see breathing difficulties. 

Just to give you context, this thickening is often associated with asbestos and air quotes: mesothelioma. 
Doctors are seeing the beginning stages of the pleura program. It’s a few weeks or months of pleural thickening. 

In the healing phase? Chest pain, coughing and shortness of breath due to the buildup of fluid. 
 
The 3rd program we’re seeing is with the pulmonary blood vessels. These are the blood vessels that go between your heart and your lungs. They move blood with oxygen from the lungs to the heart and blood without oxygen from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen.

The blood vessel program is a self-devaluation and, in this case, we’re seeing that the coughing issues, the breathing issues or the potential for breathing issues, the fear of Covid19, the territorial fear program running in the bronchials- this creates a perfect storm in which we feel less than or devalued in the chest. 

Like there is something wrong with us there. 

There is cell loss in the CA phase and cell replenishment in the healing phase and we’re seeing patients in the healing phase or in hanging healings due to conflict relapses. 

In the healing phase there is swelling and inflammation in arteries and veins and this is what doctors are seeing. 
 
Blood Clots
Let’s look at the increase in blood clots.
I’ve heard two things about blood clots: Dr. H said that they are NOT caused by a conflict shock. They are a mechanical issue and are caused by immobility so if someone is on a ventilator, they’re not exactly exercising and moving around. 

They develop in the healing phase of the blood vessels which is exactly what we are seeing. 

There is also a newer definition – and I’m just the messenger here -giving you food for thought: the newer conflict is that it’s a solidarity conflict.  

That people have to stick together in solidarity to be safe.  Think of red blood cells sticking together.

Ummm….yeah…..I would say this is what most of us are experiencing. 
 
In the CA phase, there is an increase in blood clotting factors making the blood thicker. This slows down the blood which presents the perfect environment for internal immobility. We see inactivity due to being in bed because you’re sick or on a ventilator and we see an increase in blood clots. 

I always find it fascinating when we are presented with the possibility of another conflict for a program.
 
The 4th program is the KCT – the kidney collecting tubule program. 
It’s the abandonment/isolation/ hospitalization conflict and when we are in any healing phase and we feel abandoned or isolated, then the KCT program starts as a 2nd program and it’s called the syndrome.

It influences every healing phase occurring in the body and causes more edema – more liquid, more swelling.
  
This means the healing phase just got a lot more complicated and a lot more dangerous. 

With the Syndrome, we see an increase of fluid in the lungs, in the pleura, and in the blood vessels which means more edema, more pressure, and organs that become stressed and overwhelmed with liquid. 

At some point early in the running of these 4 programs, the symptoms resemble high altitude sickness.

Recapping:
These 4 programs: 

• the lung program (I’m going to die), 
• the pleural program (attack against the chest), 
• self-devaluation of the blood vessels 
• together with the KCT: 

and we have a perfect storm that doctors have never seen before.  

They often see these singly and often in a later stage.
Now they’re seeing them all together and in a fairly young stage –they’ve been running for a few weeks or a few months. 
 

What does this mean?
I just told you about 19 symptoms; some occur in several programs and 4 occur in any healing phase. 

• 3 or 4 are feeling overwhelmed or devalued. 
• 3 are fear or unable to accept circumstance conflicts
• 8 – separation, isolation/abandonment

 
What does that tell us?  

In my thoughts it means that experiencing the lockdowns and quarantines are the cause of many of the issues  started seeing after lockdowns began in Italy. 

And remember: these symptoms occur after the healing phase or during hanging healings. 

What this means for us now is that we want to downgrade our anxiety and fear – if we even have any of these – slowly and steadily so the healing phase – if we even have one - will be less intense than what we’re seeing now.  

Educate yourself and others, if they are open to it, about GNM because just having this knowledge can make a huge difference. 

There you have it.  And like I mentioned earlier, this is my opinion on the symptoms as they stand now – it’s April 30th as I write this – we’ll see what changes come down the pike and I’ll update when needed.

Take care! Write comments below, be in touch, look definitely look at my online programs for learning GNM at andilockemears.com.

Summer is my favorite season: boating, swimming, horseback riding, watching my grandkid's soccer games, gardening, warmth 24/7 - I love it all!  Hopefully, you enjoy it, as well. 

Let's discuss how to be healthy this summer from a German New Medicine perspective. 

What to do about the Sun: tan, burn, ouch!
To learn about the impact of the sun on our skin, please read my previous blog, "Summer Sunburns: Do they cause cancer?" and know that the sun is necessary for life on this planet. 

Since we know the sun doesn't "cause" cancer, there is no fear of it, however, no one enjoys being burned - and that causes free radical damage is has a weakening effect on the body - so it's helpful to protect yourself. 

I acclimate every spring. I'll put on shorts and a tank top and start by being in the sun around noontime for 10-15 minutes.  I'll do this almost daily and increase the time by 10-15 minutes until I'm able to be in the sun indefinitely without burning. I have done this successfully for decades. 

That being said, I'm brunette and tan easily; my daughter and grandkids are redheads who burn easily. Obviously, you have to adjust it depending on your skin tone. 

Don't be afraid to acclimate very slowly, and also cover up with long sleeves and pants if you know you haven't fully acclimated.

Alternately, you can "cover up" with a physical sunscreen.  I've used Badger products with great success. 

I stay away from chemical sunscreens because they add to the body's toxic burden. While these don't cause disease, they do make Healing Phases more complicated. 

Keep your body strong and robust by reducing or eliminating chemicals as much as you can. 


​Bug Bites & Stings - More Ouch!
Once again, we know that insects don't cause diseases such as Lyme or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. 

To discover the cause of each of these, you have to look at each symptom, determine the part of the body that is affected, and then learn what the conflict shock is associated with each symptom. 

For example, a common symptom of "Lyme disease" is muscle pain.  This is the muscle biological program; the conflict is a moderate self-devaluation. There is cell loss in the conflict active phase and cell replenishment in the Healing Phase which is experienced as stiff, tense, painful muscles. 

I have worked with a number of people with a "Lyme" diagnosis and have noticed that there is usually a fairly large resolution of several conflicts at the same time which means there will be several healing phases at once, thus, multiple symptoms. 

I also know several people who no longer have "Lyme;" they allowed their bodies to proceed through the healing phase until it was complete and the symptoms were done. 

My point here is to invite you to not fear insects, ticks, mosquitos, however, no one likes to be bitten or stung so please cover up or apply some non-toxic insect repellant such as  All Terrain products. 

I recommend DEET-free products, if possible for the same reason I stay away from chemical sunscreens. They add to the body's burden which means Healing Phases ("being sick") may be more complicated. 

More ideas include:

• Citronella candles are terrific for small spaces, 
• Mosquito netting when camping, 
• Plant lavender and chrysanthemums in your yard - both contain volatile oils that repel insects. 
• If you're not vegan, put up some bug zappers
• Relax! Studies have shown the more stressed we are, the more mosquitos are attracted to us!*

If you know you have a major track with an insect (it is often bees), then do what you need to do to be safe.  Keep that epi-pen handy and work at resolving this track. It IS possible to NOT be "allergic" to bees anymore!

Just because insects don't cause disease doesn't mean we aren't still affected by their stings or bites. The substance they deposit under your skin can be uncomfortable, itchy, and irritating. Here's what to do:
​

• Stay calm. They don't cause disease.
• Apply a high quality lavender essential oil immediately. I have seen this reduce mosquito bites to almost nothing within an hour. 
• Take Apis mellifica - a homeopathic remedy in pellet form from your health food store. Keep it on hand!
• Apply Ssssting Stop - an ointment from Boericke and Tafel. 

Why do we experience fewer colds & flus in the summer?
I always wondered this as a kid!!

Conventional medicine tells us that the "common cold" is caused by a "virus" that has wandered into our body and caused symptoms. 

I'm not going to enter the debate about whether or not "viruses" exist.  You can take a look at this book for more info.  

One of Dr. Hamer's greatest discoveries was that microbes (bacteria, germs, viruses, etc), do not cause disease. 

Instead, diseases are initiated with a biological conflict shock that starts a cascade of biochemical events in the body to help us resolve - and survive - the shock because we are hardwired for survival.  

The common cold is initiated by an event or situation that our Innate Self interprets as, "I'm fed up with this!" "This is lousy!" "This stinks!" 

​Symptoms occur AFTER the event has been resolved.

​The CDC indicates that "cold and flu season" begins in Oct and exists through April or May in the US. Using GNM logic, what occurs mostly in those months? 
​
The two big ones to me are: school and cold weather.

Any other ideas?  I'm sure we could come up with a list: stressful holidays, having to shovel snow or wear many layers of heavy clothing to stay warm, homework, taking tests, etc.   

Let's continue to follow GNM logic. If this were true, then it means countries in the southern hemisphere, such as Australia, would have THEIR "cold and flu season" in their winter: May through Oct.  Lo and behold, they do! ​

How about that summer sunburn? Today's One Minute for Wellness tip discusses the impact of sunburns.  Should you be worried?  Will you get skin cancer? Inquiring minds want to know....

Summer is winding down yet I still see parents slathering a high SPF sunscreen on their kids and themselves so they won't get a sunburn since, let's face it, no one likes to get sunburned. It hurts when your skin is red, hot and blistering.  I get it. Really, I do. 

Experts say that prolonged UV exposure increases damage by free radicals that reduce your skin's elastin so it appears leathery and has more wrinkles.  Yep, I get this, too.  I've known several older sun worshippers whose skin is definitely tanned and leathery.  

Experts also say that sunburns or prolonged UV exposure cause skin cancer. 

Hmmm....No.  Not true and this is why:  

Almost 40 years ago, Dr. Hamer discovered that "diseases" were meaningful, biologically based "programs" that your brain controls that are designed to support your survival.  They start with an unexpected shock to your psyche which is that part of your brain, nervous system & senses that interprets the world around you. 

The conflict shock that starts the cascade of events that allopathic medicine calls, "skin cancer," is actually one of four shocks:

1. a real attack against the skin
2. a figurative attack, a verbal attack or an attack against your integrity
3. of feeling disfigured
4. of feeling soiled

After the shock, your brain turns on a program that produces more cells at the "attacked" site to protect it from further attacks.  It's our innate intelligence's way of helping us survive.

These cells would be called "melanoma" by the allopathy. 

Once we've resolved the conflicts, these cells are broken down by microbes since they are no longer needed.  All in all, it's an efficient system especially when we stay out of fear and when we resolve our conflicts quickly. 

Let's tie this in with the sun and this is where it gets interesting. 
  
A sunburn - one or many - can be interpreted by your psyche to be an attack against the skin. 

Ahhh, there it is: You get a sunburn, you think, "Ouch!" and maybe you add in a touch of fear, "Oh, no, I may get skin cancer" and instantly your psyche begins to protect you by adding extra cells to your skin. 

Here's what this means:
The sun doesn't cause these extra cells to develop; it doesn't cause cancer. 

It's our innermost and unconscious interpretation of the sunburn that grows the extra cells to protect us. 

And for those with leathery skin? We know the sun free radical damage weakens the skin so when we experience any of the four conflicts listed above, the healing phase will be more complicated and could even result in death. 

Once fear enters the equation the picture changes and usually spirals downhill.  That's the topic for another newsletter....

For now, does sunscreen prevent skin cancer?  The CDC says new cases of "skin cancer" in the US has increased from 40,777 in 1999 to 80,442 in 2015. https://gis.cdc.gov/Cancer/USCS/DataViz.html

So, no, sunscreens don't directly prevent skin cancer because they can't prevent your psyche from experiencing attacks against the skin. They CAN prevent sunburns, though.  :)

Personally, I don't use chemical sunscreen.  Instead, I cover up and I make sure I acclimate slowly every spring.  If I haven't had time to acclimate slowly, I'll use a physical sunscreen if I can't cover up.  The last time I did that was about 10 years ago.....

​I am super excited to bring you this One Minute For Wellness Tip about how I recently relieved pain. 

I was asked to present German New Medicine at a conference for Bionetic practitioners. These are holistically minded practitioners who use a non-cognitive biofeedback unit called a SpectraVision to gather information about your body and your issues.  

Practitioners interpret the scans from many perspectives including the 5 Element Theory of Chinese Medicine and German New Medicine which is a great combo.

They had a new addition to the SV unit called the SLT - Sound Light Therapy.  It looked like a blow dryer but instead of blowing heat, it emitted light and sound, which I could not hear (see pics below).

I was immediately drawn to it and had an opportunity to use it on some of my sore spots.

I have old scar tissue from various sports injuries including a calcium encrusted metatarsal on my foot from karate trauma many years ago. 

More recently, my foot has received further abuse from taking ballet.  (Yes, from karate to ballet.....)  Being on pointe is rather brutal for.....older.... feet.

Old scar tissue and the aggravation of being on pointe has made walking without pain rather difficult.  Rather than stop ballet lessons - since they are WAY too fun! -  I've been doing physical therapy for the past year which has helped.  The SLT took it even further. 

Within an hour of finishing the SLT therapy,  I could walk 100% pain-free.  I had more joint mobility with my big toe - with about a 75% reduction in pain.  My entire foot articulates differently when I walk now since I don't have any pain. 

I had a ballet and pointe class 4 days later; I was apprehensive about even going on pointe since I didn't want to ruin my pain-free walking status. 

Good news: even 2 days after pointe class, I am still walking pain-free.  :)

According to German New Medicine, pain indicates either a Healing Phase or, if the pain is chronic or reocurring, it's a Hanging Healing. 

If left unchecked, physical changes occur which can be permanent (think of fingers bent from arthritis, a self-devaluation of the hands).  This is what happened with the calcification of my metatarsal. 

Resolving the issue is paramount and supporting the bones & tissues is also beneficial.  Therapies such as sound and light therapy and acupuncture relieve pain & inflammation which make you more comfortable during the Healing Phase.

I can attest that Sound and Light Therapy was effective for me.  For more information on the unit I used, see below. 

(And just in case you are curious: ballet is MUCH more difficult than karate!)

​One Minute for Wellness Tip:
We just missed it!  The American Academy of Sleep Medicine declared that Monday, March 12, 2018, was Insomnia Awareness Day.

Every night, millions of people around the world have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. 

Are you one of them?

Have you tried everything you can think of without good results?? 
Then consider your insomnia from a GNM perspective.

When you have difficulty falling asleep or if you wake up in the middle of the night, it generally means you were Conflict Active during the day OR you're still Conflict Active.

Being Conflict Active means that something triggered your psyche (your brain, nervous system and senses) during the day and it instantly changed your nervous system. 

Often, this change is below our level of awareness yet it can disrupt sleep, even many hours later.
To determine what triggered you, consider learning more about GNM so you can figure it out and resolve it.  You'll sleep sounder!

If you have difficulty falling asleep:
Think back to your day. Did something upset you? Have you been thinking about it since it occurred?

If so, then your psyche is keeping you awake so you'll have more time to resolve it. 

The lesson here: be aware of when you're Conflict Active and how that can disrupt your sleep!  Then learn how to downgrade the Conflict Activity. 

Here's a great little chart that gives you steps you can take to downgrade being Conflict Active so you can sleep sounder. Number 10 is my favorite!

​

Ever been in a salt store?  I can't say I've been in any salt stores in the U.S., however, I took a day trip to Hallstadtt and St. Wolfgang in the Saltzkammergutz region of Austria and I found many salt stores. 

So, I bought salt. Hey, when you visit the oldest continuously mined salt mine in the world (7,000 years), you want a momento to remember those special moments when you're inside a mountain surrounded by history.....and salt.  Lot of it. 

In one of the salt shops, I saw pink salt candleholders, salt Christmas ornaments, flavored salt, course salt (see the little pile above), fine salt and more.  Then I picked up a cellophane bag with odd looking rocks. Yep, salt rocks.   The shopkeeper told me these rocks came from the mine I had just visited; the pink salt came from the Himalayas.  Each has a different mineral content, thus, the difference in appearance.  I was hunting for local salt so was thrilled to find these rocks. 

And what do you do with salt rocks?  The instructions told me to place them in a liter of water for an hour.  Drinking 1 teaspoon of the liquid every day would cure all sorts of ailments and ills.  This certainly piqued my curiosity.  

Once I returned home, I did just that.  The glass in the photo above shows my "salt solution" and I add a good teaspoon to my morning smoothie.  I also decided to add a teaspoon to my WaterPik and use it on my teeth and gums. 

I can't say I had any ailments and ills that needed curing, however, I'm glad I'm using this solution on my gums which have occasionally bled.  The bleeding increased for about a week once I started using the salt solution in my WaterPik; I figured some deep healing was taking place.  Then it stopped and I've gone a month without any bleeding.  Nice!!
