It's fun to "get away" at times and immerse yourself in a learning - and teaching - experience.

I had a fabulous time at a recent conference in Orlando, FL where I presented German New Medicine to the 200+ participants.  

I am certainly not a podcast expert. 

I didn't even know what a podcast was until a few years ago - and this was after I listened to every episode of "Serial."

When I realized it was basically a radio show, I could finally embrace the concept.  I guess that dates me.....

Then I realized I don't know of any podcasts based on German New Medicine so I decided to start one. 

That was in May, 2019.  It took me 3 months to record and edit three 20 minute podcasts because of the learning curve. It was frustrating, to say the least. 

Info about a podcasting conference in October dedicated to women crossed my desk and a light bulb went off. I just knew this would be what I needed to learn and feel inspired. Check it out here: https://www.shepodcasts.live/

Needless to say, I had a fabulous experience and came away just a teeny bit wiser. 

Here are 12 things I learned:

1. Women have a voice and, historically, we haven't been empowered to use it; that is changing. Big Time.
2. Women comprise a very small percentage of podcasters, altho the number of women podcasters is increasing.
3. Blue Yeti mics are great....yet the Audio-Technica ATR2100 mic will serve me just fine (so I bought one).
4. That 144 million people have listened to podcasts in America which is 51%​.

5. Women listen an average of 7.3 hours/week; men listen an average of 5.9 hours/week.
6. That it's important to fall in love with your voice....I'm not quite there yet, but I'm working on it.....
7. There is a difference between a presenter and a personality; as podcasters we want to be personalities.
8. In a workshop, I figured out that I want my legacy to be that I am a forward thinker and an innovator and I want to be known for integrity, compassion, and honesty.
9. That we all have many different sounds/voices inside us; it's about using our own vocal variety to our advantage depending on the story we are conveying. 

10. There are many double-standards about male vs female voices; when a man is perceived to be an authority, a woman saying the same thing will be perceived as harsh or bitchy.
11. 65% of podcast listeners listen on their Smartphone or other mobile device; 25% on their laptop; 10% on a Smart Speaker. 
12. When many innovative, creative women gather together, there are also many crowns of flowers that blink on and off.

I had a fabulous time attending the NANP (Nat'l Asso. of Nutrition Professionals) conference in Tucson, AZ. 

I conducted a full-day, pre-conference workshop to an awesome group of nutrition professionals; they all "got" GNM big time! I think I can accurately say that lives were changed that day, forever. 

I did manage to see some of nature outside the hotel. I did a hike at 7:00 am before it got too hot.  I've never been in a desert before so seeing cactus the size of trees was a new experience!

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! ​

If you live in America, or any developed country right now, you know vaccines are a hot topic. 

From children being banned from public spaces, to "measles" outbreaks in Europe and the US, vaccines are in our news daily. 

I know what the proponents think, especially our public health officials and doctors: vaccines save lives and without them, we are condemning children - and adults - to unnecessary illness and even death.

They are trying to save us from what they perceive is our own stupidity because they believe anyone who doesn't vaccinate their children is endangering everyone.

And this all makes perfect sense if you believe microbes are the cause of illness. 

Opponents of vaccines cite study after study of how, historically, vaccines did NOT eradicate polio, diphtheria, whooping cough or tetanus.  They believe these were on the decline due to better sanitation, cleaner water and improved living conditions which all occurred before vaccines were invented.  Government health records appear to support this.  

Opponents also cite the long list of neurological damage done by the harmful additives in vaccines such as formaldehyde, aluminum, MSG, etc.  Yep, I get it; these are not substances I want to willingly inject into my body. 

And I am not here to write the definitive answer to vaccines. 

Actually, I take that back. I am going to do just that.


The Old Science; the Old Theories
The whole idea of vaccines is rooted in what I call the "old science:" that microbes from outside of us invade us and cause us to have symptoms that we call "being sick." 

It was Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) who hypothesized this when he studied the fermentation of wine. He believed, rightly so, that the fermentation process was due to microscopic organisms (think vinegar vs wine).

In the mid-1800's, he developed the theory that heat could kill the microbes and prevent fermentation and this method is what we now call  "pasteurization."  It was used by unscrupulous producers of milk in the late 1800's to turn dirty milk into drinkable milk.  That just gives you a happy glow, doesn't it? 

After wine, he turned his attention to "infectious" diseases.  Perhaps microbes were at the heart of those, as well? 

Around 1865, he studied French silkworms that were being decimated by illness and isolated a microscopic organism from them.   

This was all the proof he needed that microorganisms caused disease and the "germ theory" was born.  That's right: it came from silkworms. 

Is the "germ theory" real?
Let's fast forward to the 1980's & 90's to take into consideration the work of Dr. Hamer. He discovered that microbes, while present while a person has symptoms, are not the CAUSE of the illness like Pasteur assumed. 

Instead, the microbes have a very specific purpose and are actually assisting the person to heal. In other words, it's the opposite of Pasteur's theory that microbes cause symptoms.  

Dr. Hamer realized your body is more finely tuned for survival than anyone ever realized. When you have a conflict shock, physiological changes occur in your body - you grow cells or lose cells - which help you resolve that conflict.

This is what Pasteur didn't realize. 

Then, when the shock is resolved, your body has to return to homeostasis so you go through a process to get back to balance. This is what we call "being sick," and this means your brain turns on the necessary microbes to go to work and  assist you with cell breakdown (if you had grown cells) or cell proliferation (if you had lost cells). 

Dr. Hamer mapped out the entire brain by looking at CT scans and talking with his patients. He determined the real role of microbes such as mycobacteria (Think: tubercular bacteria....Yes, *that* TB) which break down cell growths, non-mycobacteria (think: streptococcus) that help you replenish your cells, and viruses altho there is much controversy in the medical community that they actually exist. 

He determined which microbes are necessary for every healing phase (illness).

The most important discovery: after looking at 40,000 brain CT scans, he realized his discoveries were true 100% of the time.  This means they were 100% predictable.  That every living being has the same hardwiring inside them which is not a mystery. 

It certainly explains why people who do every "right" - they eat organic, exercise, meditate, have a strong social network, etc - get a "cancer" diagnosis or have a heart attack.  Allopathic medicine can't explain this but due to Dr. Hamer's discoveries, it makes perfect sense.

Basically, we can't prevent conflict shocks which means even if you're doing everything right, you'll still have the predictable healing phase.  Don't get discouraged here!  This is actually very good and empowering news!

The important thing to remember is that Dr. Hamer discovered that every living being is programed for survival the same way: we all run the same patterns from the same shocks, we all have the microbes we turn on to assist us during the predictable healing phase. 


What's my point? 
My point is that vaccines are based on incorrect information about the body, the cause of symptoms, and the healing of the body. 

Pasteur drew an incorrect conclusion and now we try to make a square peg fit into a round hole with an entire system of "medicine" that has developed. 

How many people do you know who get the flu shot and then get the flu?  I know many.....even in my own family. 

The hypothesis that vaccines will prevent disease is simply bad science. And it is often wrong.

Just take a look at this article about a fully vaccinated person with the measles. Or this one about the measles in Massachusetts among vaccinated high schoolers.  Or this one about heavily vaccinated sailors on a Navy ship who now have the mumps. 


Current Measles "Outbreaks"
What's up with this? 

Dr. Hamer discovered it is the healing phase of a "separation conflict." This means, the child was separated from someone they didn't want to be separated from and it was a distressing situation.  It could also be the opposite: they wanted to separate and couldn't.

After the separation is resolved, the skin will have a rash in the areas that could not touch the person from whom they were separated.  

​(Be sure to read to the end......there's a great video there.)

What about all of those eradicated diseases?
Oh, you mean like smallpox, leprosy, Bubonic plaque, whooping cough, diptheria, and polio?

They are alive and well, however, they have different names and, since civilization has, in some ways, progressed, they aren't usually as severe as a conflict shock now which means their healing phases will be less severe. 

Smallpox, leprosy and the Bubonic plaque were never caused by a virus. They are the healing phase of an attack conflict (think maybe the Native Americans felt attacked as a culture?) or a disfigurement conflict (how else could leprosy have "spread?" "Don't get near me! I don't want to end up looking like you!"). 

The healing phase of a smaller attack conflict shock is now called "melanoma" or "shingles."  

Whooping cough is a territorial fear conflict for males and a scare-fright conflict for females. 

Nowadays, when a person has additional triggers and thus, conflict relapses, it is diagnosed as "asthma."  

Dr. Hamer discovered that "diptheria" is from two conflict shocks: a territorial fear conflict for males and a scare-fright conflict for females and an abandonment conflict (kidneys) which causes water retention and swelling making the whole healing phase more complicated. 

Nowadays we'll call this program "throat cancer" or "laryngeal cancer." 

Polio is very much alive and well and it was never caused by a virus.  It's a conflict from feeling stuck or not being able to move. 

Nowadays it's known as "MS" or "ALS" or Guillian-Barre.  The intensity of the conflict shock determines which label is assigned to them from a physician.

A smaller conflict shock that keeps getting triggered is now called, "Parkinsons."


Should you vaccinate? 
Vaccinates do not reduce illness, however, the placebo effect may come into play here. 

The "flu" is a pretty intense stink conflict ("This is lousy! I'm fed up with this!"- this is sinus related) or a territorial fear conflict which is bronchial related.   

If you are in the surroundings with someone with an intense flu, someone who is really sick, your fear of catching it may give you a conflict shock, that, when resolved, has the "flu" as the healing phase.  This is predictable and known; it is not random, it is not a mystery how someone gets "the flu." 

BUT, if you've had a flu shot thinking you can't possibly "catch" this illness, then you're not going to go into fear which means you won't have a healing phase. Instead, you'll pat yourself on the back for getting that flu shot. 


​How about this instead?
Learn German New Medicine so you understand the cause of all illnesses and symptoms and thus, armed with this knowledge, you're empowered forever to downgrade and resolve your conflicts. 

This means your expected healing phases, your illnesses, would be minimal. 

And if they aren't because of a huge conflict shock you experienced, you'll know to stay out of fear and to make health choices based on this new medicine.  Just know your body is always taking care of you. There is nothing to catch.

If you're still reading, congratulations!  Here's an eye-opening video about Life Before the Measles Vaccine Became a Marketing Tool of Big Pharma. 

I've seen people react to the knowledge of the Five Biological Laws of German New Medicine with several responses:

• Adament disbelief - What? Are you kidding me?  Do you know how many people you'll hurt with this knowledge?  (I've heard that many times.)
• OMG, is this really true?  I really want it to be true! It makes so much sense. 
• Healthy Skepticism - Sounds plausible but I need a LOT more information. 

Many people, regardless of their initial reaction, have little (or big) lightbulbs go off in their heads when they learn the Five Biological Laws and they intuitively "know" these are true, even though their intellect hasn't quite caught up with their gut feeling. 

In my view: all responses are absolutely valid and worthy, even the person who adamantly opposes any and all of it.   

Why?

Because belief isn't required. 

The Five Biological Laws have existed since time began without our belief and they will continue to exist when we are dead and gone whether we believe them or not.  They are biological like having two feet or a digestive system.

The World Is Flat, right? 
It's a little like thinking the world is flat.  Imagine you believe this with all your heart.

Then you start hearing that some people question that belief and you think: What is wrong with these people? Are they crazy?  Don't they know the world is flat? 

And yet these other people produce more and more evidence and conduct more and more  experiments that show some pretty darned convincing evidence that the world really is round.  You know other people - maybe even family members - that are beginning to believe the world is round.

What do you do then? 

Open Your Belief Box
You can certainly continue to believe the world is flat.  If it works for you, then... it works for you.  The earth won't stop being round because you don't believe it just like your body won't stop running GNM programs just because you don't believe in them.

On the other hand, you could also choose to open your "Belief Box" - the one that contains all the beliefs that create YOUR reality.  Open one little door, or a window, if that feels safer, and begin to explore a new truth.

It is all about choice and in my belief system, YOU have the final say in your life.  You can decide what and who to believe.  

​As Mr. Spock of Star Trek used to say: "Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations" - which means there are lots of thoughts and beliefs and ways of being and this abundance of differences is what makes the world go round. 

A Gift from GNM
I am one of those people who intuitively knew GNM was accurate and correct when I first learned it yet I'm also a healthy skeptic so I had to test it over and over and over again. If it was true, I needed proof.  

Fortunately, after working with hundreds of people, I have total and complete evidence and proof in my own mind. I would be an utter fool to not believe what I have seen with my own eyes.

One of the largest gifts I have received from the knowledge of GNM has been the elimination of fear about my body.  I know the cause behind every single ache, pain, and "sickness" that I have had in my life.  

Because of this, I have few aches, pains, and sicknesses because I know how to live my life in such a way so they are minimal. 

How do I do this?  Or:  The Belief Traps
One of the most helpful beliefs I have and tools I use is that I endeavor to live in the present moment - not tied to the past or the future by fear.   

Fear Wastes Energy
I've noticed that many people put a great deal of energy into trying to avoid future diseases, sometimes because of past diseases. They worry greatly about past "illnesses" resurfacing.  

They'll avoid people who are "sick" thinking they might catch the sickness. They won't go out in public as frequently and if they do, they wear gloves or wash their hands after touching something, anything.  

Allergic to The World
And they are sometimes "allergic" to vast parts of the world (the air, the soil, many foods, etc). They bop from doctor to doctor and from alternative practitioner to alternative practitioner spending their life savings seeking THE answer.  They'll make some gains with that new practitioner they're seeing and then, unbelievably, their health backslides.

And often their world gets smaller and smaller: less food choices, fewer products in which to clean their home, fewer people with whom they will associate and fewer activities in which they will engage.  

All the while they keep cleansing and detoxing thinking if they could just get this one thing OUT of their bodies: they would be fine.  They often become their own victims due to their shrinking world, stuck in belief traps. 

Perpetuating Belief Traps
I believe that our current medical theories such as the germ theory, the toxin theory, the malignant & metastasis theories all perpetuate belief traps and, by default, increase this phenomenon of shrinking circumstances.  

And, yes, everyone comes by this fear naturally since our schools, media, advertising, and certainly what we learn from our healthcare professionals all perpetuate these traps. 

But it doesn't mean we have to continue having these theories and thus, these traps in our lives.  Yes, we CAN get off that perpetual hamster wheel of fear.   

What GNM Can Give You
So, in my mind, it comes back to choices and it comes down to trust. 

What is that definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right? 

Needing to find answers beyond what our allopathic and holistic, alternative practitioners can tell us  is often what initiates the journey towards German New Medicine.  

And truly, you have to be ready  for this journey. 

My Journey....My Anchor
GNM can give us the science, and yes, the irrefutable proof our minds (and psyches) often need so we can have a new Belief Box.  It certainly gave me an anchor of truth to explore which I eventually, and easily, adopted. 

I now have the knowledge to:

•  make better informed choices if and when I have future healing phases - otherwise known as "diseases" - all of which I will have naturally anticipated and prepared for.  
• better understand when to seek a doctor or specialist such as understanding when I'll want the knowledge a certain lab test could give me (interpreted through a GNM lens, for sure), 
• decide if and when cleansing and detoxing will be beneficial (not often) or when I need to stay away from gluten and dairy (pretty much never).  
• have a different understanding of the importance of rest, healthy food, herbs, supplements, etc. which all DO have their place in the whole scheme of health and wellness but perhaps not for the reasons we commonly think.
• know when to find a really good surgeon to remove a cell growth that would be easier to remove surgically than to decompose it myself.

I'm sure there are other gifts I have received and will receive in the future from GNM. Since I'm always learning more, and I'm always testing it, I gain new knowledge and experience regularly. 

The Foundation of NOW
It's about having a different foundation so we understand better what is happening in our bodies and thus, we can zero right in on what our bodies may need for support, if anything. 

It's about living in the present, and being free from fear so we can enjoy the "now" because, truly, the present moment is all we ever have.

Won't you join me?

By Andi Locke Mears

When I had my wellness center, I wore many hats: herbalist, nutritionist, homeopath, colon hydrotherapist, along with marketer, customer service specialist, and toilet bowl cleaner.
 
If you’re also a solo practitioner or in a small office, you probably also wear many hats.
 
The heart and soul of my practice was to offer people alternatives for reaching their wellness goals and I found myself getting certification after certification so I could gain the knowledge I needed to help more and more people.
 
And every certification meant time away from my center and money out of my pocket for the course and for travel expenses.
 
I also put a lot of time into networking by meeting with energy healers, hypnotherapists, physicians, etc. so I could refer to people I knew and trusted.
 
And there is a limit to all that.  At least, there was for me since I still haven’t figured out how to be in two places at once.  I’m working on it, tho…..
 
This all changed when I learned the Five Biological Laws of German New Medicine.
 
I no longer had to keep searching.  All of the answers I needed to help my clients were now at my fingertips because I finally understood how to “read” the body, how to interpret and know without a shadow of a doubt, what exactly, was occurring in my clients and why.
 
Learning GNM is like getting a secret Magic Decoder Ring……that really works.

• It is the North Star in navigation. You always know exactly where you are and where you’re going.
• It is the Alpha and the Omega.  You know the beginning, (the middle), and the end.

 
I began using GNM immediately upon learning the basics even though I didn’t fully understand them. 
 
And still, they always pointed me to the information my client needed to understand their symptoms and what to do about them.
 
It was the greatest gift I could have received.
 
I learned to reframe all of my prior experience, education, and trainings. 
Yes, I still used all of it – herbal medicine, homeopathy, cleansing/detoxing, nutrition, etc. however I learned how to use them to be more effective to get better results for my clients.
 
 
I’ve had the pleasure to witness:

• A 10 year old girl whose rash quickly disappeared just by identifying the conflict and having her brother stop tickling her where she didn’t want to be tickled.
• A woman with severe hormonal and weight fluctuations – gaining 10 lbs in a few days only to lose it all a few days later.  She had spent thousands of dollars visiting specialists two states away, who did test after test to no avail. Once she understood the conflict, all symptoms immediately seized and they never returned.
• A man prepare for his expected heart attack which he sailed right through successfully after getting himself admitted to the hospital just to be on the safe side. He had no further complications and took no further medications because he understood his body.
• Gluten & lactose intolerances dissolve in several weeks for a woman who had spent $10,000 on specialized testing.

 
 
To any practitioner considering learning the Five Biological Laws, I say this:

• You won’t regret it.
• You will exponentially increase your knowledge in a very short period of time for minimal investment.
• You’ll be more effective.
• Your clients will be more satisfied.
• You AND the people you work with including your family, will be empowered forever.

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.....

In Health,
Andi

Here's your One Minute For Wellness Tip 

CNN reports: Scientist suggests a germ-free childhood could trigger leukemia

I'm always fascinated by headlines that announce possible causes of cancer.  To test the validity of the study to which the headlines refer, I translate the gist of the study into GNMese.  In other words, I try to see the study from a German New Medicine perspective. 

In this case, a study published in the journal Nature Reviews Cancer suggested that "acute lymphoblastic leukemia" is caused by a two-step process. This is the most common type of childhood "cancer."  

Let's start with: what is "leukemia" from a GNM perspective?
It's the Healing Phase of a self-evaluation.  "I feel less than..." "I'm not worthy."

In the Conflict Active phase, there is bone tissue loss that involves the bone marrow which results in: 

• red blood cell count (anemia), 
• low white blood cell count (leucopenia),
• low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)
• and low hemoglobin and low hematocrit levels

Once the self-devaluation is resolved (they now feel worthy!), the person proceeds through 4 phases.  At the end of the 4 phases, all of the low levels mentioned above return to normal. 

"Lymphoblastic leukemia" involves the lymphatic system and is a milder, generalized self-devaluation. Perhaps the child can't keep up with his or her siblings or isn't doing well in school.

If the siblings can include the child with age-appropriate activities in which the child can be successful or if the child does better in school because they received extra help, then s/he would then go into the healing phase which can last for several weeks.  They'll be tired which is when well-meaning parents take them to the doctor, tests are run, and a slippery slope of fear begins. 

I want to point out that this is a very common Biological Program that is not to be feared!  I'm aware of one couple who helped their 2 year old child successfully complete this program.  

Back to our headlines. 

The article said the first step in developing childhood leukemia is a genetic mutation before birth the predisposes a child to the risk of developing leukemia. 

Dr. Hamer's research clearly shows that genetic changes occur with every cancer and with every "disease."
Allopathy assumes, incorrectly, it is a cause of or, in this case, leads to a predisposition for a "disease."  

Let's translate this:
Biological programs (so-called "diseases") are encoded in every cell and thus are hardwired into our genetic code. 

The brain relay that controls the "disease" process controls any changes in the genes as part of a meaningful, biological process to ensure our survival.

Thus, altered genes are not a cause of any "disease." Any change in them is simply part of the natural healing process. 

The article then said the 2nd step occurs when children are raised in cleanerhouseholds and don't interact much with other children. 

Here's how I would interpret this. 
In cleaner households, I wonder if standards are higher for not only cleanliness, but performance and behavior. This might set the stage for a child feeling unworthy or like they can't measure up and thus, have a loss of self-esteem.  

And valuable skills such as resiliency, trust, and how to deal with rejection are learned when children interact with other children.  If they aren't interacting, they may be missing out on learning the skills that help them feel good about themselves, feel valued, and have a healthy self-esteem.

So, I believe this study has a little bit of merit....just not for the reasons they think. 

From a GNM perspective, childhood leukemia is an important healing phase that can occur from any sort of self-devaluation conflict shock. 

Loving our children and teaching them the necessary skills to have a healthy self-esteem are paramount, regardless of how clean the house is and how much they interact with other children. 

In Health and thanks for joining me!
