GENES DON'T HAVE THE LAST WORD AFTER ALL
Anna is six years old today - a lively, charming and happy girl, who plays and talks well with other children her age. That has by no means always been the case, for Anna has "Down Syndrome" - or mongolism, as it used to be called. This genetic condition leads to abnormal mental development, to more or less pronounced physical disabilities, and to the typical mongoloid facial features of a short neck, an open mouth, and crossed eyes
The medical authorities had diagnosed the mentally-retarded Anna as greatly incapacitated (more than 60 percent of physical defects, including a partial paralysis of the legs
The parents had left nothing untried. Anna's father and mother, a physician, had embraced all officially recognized treatments for special-needs children, but these had failed to produce results. The mother finally became resigned to the inevitable, as she believed she knew all there was to know about the irreparable damage present in the cases of Down Syndrome - namely, that particles of a third chromosome have attached themselves to the 21st gene-pair, which determines the sex of a human being.
The very term "syndrome" clearly shows us, however, that the medical profession has not yet completely found the right answer to the disease. As a last-ditch effort, Anna's parents contacted Dr. med. Ryke Geerd Hamer, the originator of German New Medicine. It was the fall of 1998. At the time, Anna was four and a half years old. Her mental development, on the other hand, was stuck at the one-year-old level.
It should be noted here that during his 40-year medical career Dr. Hamer had often worked in Children's Neurology and Children's Psychiatry, and had been presented with the challenges of Down Syndrome there.
He told the desperate parents that, having seen many such children become more or less normal again, it was just a matter of "finding the right key to their child's problem". When they did find it, he said, the results would be remarkable. It was essential, however, that they first find out exactly what kind of stress on the psyche could have triggered the condition in the first place.
For instance, the handicapped little Anna was showing some peculiar behavior. Whenever she heard any loud noises, she would clap her hands to her ears, as though in great pain. Alone the cry of a cat could cause such a defensive reaction in her. However, she reacted even more intensely to the noises of circular saws.
These saws, it turned out, had been screeching incessantly right next to Anna's home throughout her first few months of life, when over a hundred trees had been cut all around the house. In addition, her father was a builder of church-organs, and he very often used a circular saw in the workshop attached to the house.
When Dr. Hamer looked at Anna's brain CT-scan, he was indeed able to see a hearing-conflict ("I don't want to hear this!") in it. However, he felt that this particular one had been caused by a weak, though still-active, older hearing-conflict. It was only at this point that Anna's mother remembered, after discreet questioning by Dr. Hamer, that she had been working throughout her pregnancy in a building that was being renovated; ear-shattering noises were to be heard there from morning till night from the use of jack hammers. The noise was so constant and so extreme, she said, that it shook one's bones and made one want to run away.
The fetus had been exposed to this horrible din as well, of course, and much pointed to that being the cause of Anna's handicap. With this new information, Dr. Hamer again encouraged the parents to be hopeful, although he never claimed to be able to heal Down Syndrome. Anna's mother said about him afterwards, "some people have both lice and fleas; even if he was not able to take away Anna's lice, he was at least able to take away the fleas".
SILENCE AS MEDICINE
Dr. Hamer said that it was entirely possible to weaken the effect of Down Syndrome, if Anna were helped to heal her own hearing-conflict. For that purpose, the parents needed to completely remove from her immediate environment the screeching of circular saws, and indeed all other noises. This was not going to be easy for Anna's father, whose very job necessitated the use of the saws.
Yet, the parents made every effort, and for that they were richly rewarded. For the first half year, Anna's development managed to increase by such tremendous leaps and bounds that it was hard to believe. During that time-period, she grew a full 10 cm -- which had until then been considered impossible for a Down Syndrome child! Her face lost more and more of the characteristic mongoloid features, and nowadays only a very slight cross-eyed look is perceptible when Anna is tired.
She can run and skip just as well as any healthy six-year-old girl now. There is not a trace of paralysis left. Even her fine motor-skills - such as threading a needle - are equal to that of her contemporaries. Although she doesn't speak quite as well yet as they do, Anna can be understood by everyone. "Every day she is learning new words and can put them into sentences in a way that makes eminent sense", her mother says happily.
Anna's nightly restlessness and elementary fear of loud noises was gone very quickly. After six months of total restful silence, the parents began consciously to expose her little by little to the normal noises of life. They would explain to Anna the workings of the coffee-machine while it was running, for example; or, they would take her from time to time to the father's workshop, where he would show her the circular saw and what he was doing with it. In this way, as her intellectual skills grew, Anna learned to tolerate and live around noise.
From another brain CT Dr. Hamer could, however, tell that there was still a second problem, which seemed to have something to do with issues around Anna's father. And, indeed, the little girl was asking a hundred times a day, "Daddy, when coming?"
As an organ-builder, the father was often gone for days or weeks when installing his organs in churches around the country. For that reason, Dr. Hamer advised the parents to get the family together every weekend, whether it was the father making an effort to come home, or the mother and daughter traveling to wherever he was. This parental effort, too, bore rich fruit, because nowadays Anna is able to cope very well with her father's absences.
Anna's development is occurring at the same rate that the Hamer Focuses (HH) are healing. The biggest leaps were made in the first six months. Since then, Anna's mother says, "every day is a little bit better".
FEAR OF REPRESSION
Neighbors who knew Anna well, and therapists who had worked with her and other Down's children, could not believe how wonderfully Anna had progressed in such a short time. Many similarly affected parents have already been referred to Anna's mother in her function as a doctor - albeit only by therapists and care-givers. The mother has, until now, avoided contact with the medical establishment.
"Should doctors be alerted to our success, we fear that there will be some form of repression. We are afraid that they could take Anna away from us. We have not forgotten what happened in the Olivia Pilhar case" [in 1995, 6-year old Olivia Pilhar, who had kidney cancer, was legally forced to undergo Chemo treatment and surgery against the will of her parents, who wished to follow Dr. Hamer's GNM therapy].
It is for this reason that we, at the magazine, are not naming the parents and are leaving open the question of whether they live in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
Soon, Anna will be going to school in a class like any other child her age. For that alone the parents are extraordinarily grateful. However, it also goes without saying that Anna will not have the same demands made upon her in class as are made on the other children, but rather that she will have her own teacher's assistant sitting next to her.
Whether or not Anna's genetic defect has come back in the meantime is of supreme unimportance to the parents. In deference to the mental health of the girl, they have avoided any further genetic testing. "For us, the only matter of interest is that our child is so obviously better, and that she has made developmental progress that no one could have believed possible."
As a physician, Anna's mother has been completely won over by German New Medicine, and says, "Dr. Hamer's discoveries have been validated one-hundred percent by Anna's progress".
DO GENES HEAL THEMSELVES?
In principle, every cancer-cell exhibits a chromosomes' change. Dr. Hamer's German New Medicine shows that cancers are controlled from specific identifiable HHs in the brain which, in turn, can be traced back to specific psychological conflicts.
Moreover, orthodox medicine nowadays has entirely accepted that genes are not just rigid bundles of inherited traits, but rather that they actually take a part in the metabolism of the body, changing - within limitations - constantly,
Dr. Hamer therefore posits the question of whether a change in the old brain and cerebrum could possibly be causing temporary changes in the chromosomes - for example, in the Trisomy 21 that is responsible for Down Syndrome. The experience with Anna and other Down's children seems to clearly indicate that such is the case.
Dr. Hamer adds, "What would best put our case to the test is to see if the Trisomy 21 would disappear right along with the resolution of the conflict. I am in great hopes of that being the case. It would mean that the children could become completely healthy again -- plain and simple - possibly even chromosomally!" He also believes, for instance, that such a re-normalized child would in time be capable of producing offspring without genetic defects.
Should Dr. Hamer prove to be right, then the house-of-cards, upon which the type of gene-medicine presently being practiced is built, would collapse upon itself. Every year, millions are spent on the decoding of what we humans have inherited from our forebears via our genes -- presumably in order to be able to treat inherited diseases.
But, what if it could be proven that genetic changes are not the cause of disease, but rather that they occur as a result of conflicts in the psyche of the human being -- observable in the brain?
It would mean that today's highly-praised gene-therapy will never be able to heal the cause of an illness, because the genes would already be manifestation of a much deeper cause.
Healing is only possible, if the root-cause of the problem is found. The treatment of symptoms alone is fruitless. We modern human beings should at least have come to realize that much by now.
THE STUDY OF HUMAN GENES IS ON THE WRONG TRACK
Geneticists consider 97% of the human genotype (what we have inherited) as garbage - as so-called "Junk-DNA", said to be of no value whatsoever. Genetic engineers believe in the unrestricted 'power of the gene', and some of them even divide the life of the genes' quality into either 'worthy' or 'worthless'.
As a result, they now want to deal with inherited illnesses through forced manipulation from the outside, or through not allowing the fetus to come into being in the first place. They want to analyze unborn life genetically, so that the future mother (and later perhaps even the State) can decide whether this child is "worthy" of being allowed to come to complete fruition.
This way of thinking allows eugenics to once again raise its heinous head.
How would you react, if you were told that there is a great probability that you are dying of diabetes because of your genes? Would you believe it? If yes, then it is the very certainty in that belief that would kill you, because people attract that which they fear most - because the mind dominates the body and not the other way around, as geneticists would have us believe.
The wondrous changes in Anna have clearly shown us that the power of the mind is stronger than the power of the genes. Although the Trisomy 21 genetic defect has presumably caused the disability, Down Syndrome can obviously be cured when the related conflicts are resolved. Perhaps the genes themselves have the ability to heal.
May this realization give the parents of genetically-ill children the courage to believe in the seemingly impossible.
Because, as Anna has so impressively proved, there is always hope!

Law of Distraction
I took the title of this entry from a blog posting by Michael From Mountains.
I've been getting Law of Attraction references (specifically Abraham Hicks) coming at me from all directions lately. It's fascinating how things happen in clusters like that, including references to the Law of Attraction/Distraction.
So I've been looking into it.
Immediately, I manifested a $20 bill, a nine-inch-nails CD, and a waffle baker... things that I vaguely wanted and then forgot about. I thought that was pretty funny.
On the other hand, things that I desire with great craving, and have desired for years, just won't manifest at all. This is probably also pretty funny - but certainly not to my ego.
I believe therein lies the actual "Secret" to the Law of Attraction: the act of desiring seems to accrete onto its own self, so that the desiring increases by the law of attraction, rather than the thing desired.
Non-attachment is definitely the key to manifesting desires, and non-attachment is, in the realm of reality that the people of our culture spend most of their time in, quite the opposite of desire.
So it all comes back to ego again. And ego is a way of getting energy from other people, or of preventing other people from taking energy from us. Probably a necessary thing when we're half-grown children who still don't know how to take care of ourselves fully, but do have to interact in the wild world.
In our society, though, that half-grown child state becomes permanent for most of us. Alas, only our cuteness fades. We remain, for most of our lives, in a needs-not-fully-met state, absolutely stuffed with desire upon desire. Every meal, every dollar spent, every interaction with another is packed with emotional charge, complete attachment, and burning desire. Non-attachment can't be much more than a vague ideal in such a state.
So, the irony is, that even the Law of Attraction gets packaged up and displayed tantalizingly so that "consumers" will "desire" it, and will spend a lot of their energy to try and get it... and hopefully get it first.
Meanwhile, we, as half-grown children, are not even clear on what it is we should desire; hence, being fed marketing messages that we should desire giant mansions and disgusting levels of consumer power, and the adulation of millions of strangers. Does anyone actually, earnestly desire these things of their own innocent accord?
How about desiring peace, genius, joy, unconditional love, and a sense of purpose? It turns out, when we can grow up a little and clear away the misplaced desires of egocentric attachment, those underlying desires, through the instant and ongoing power of the Law of Attraction, are always already satisfied.
Ah, it's all so ironic. And so screamingly funny.

Medical Trees and Forest
The goal of medical science should be to understand disease as a general phenomenon, to gain an understanding not limited to specific cases but applicable across time, space, type of society - even from one species to the next.
The goal of any science is to understand reality as it is, not as we would like it to be. Or at least that ought to be the goal.
But most explanations of disease focus on a particular condition or set of ailments, rather than approach the disease process as a whole. Thus there are far more explanations for obesity or cancer than there are comparisons of these diseases in a general sense.
Some medical scientists do make comparisons of two or three kinds of illness, but desist from further generalization. This situation, indeed, is no more than characteristic of our entire culture throughout its history, and the way every scientific discipline in our culture has become overwhelmingly particularistic.
The outcome of sticking to arguments about individual disease manifestations is that criticisms of these explanations have also become primarily factual. Rather than discussing the logic of creating a diagnosis in the first place, it is much easier (that is, lucrative) for critics to focus on factual matters: to show that the presentation of symptoms for disease X don't fit the proposed explanation. Thus, when medical scientists postulate a virus for the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome, or "genetic risk factors" for the cause of childhood autism, critics will either assert that evidence for viral causes and genetic risk factors is either inadequate or is contradictory to the description of the new diagnosis.
Rarely do doctors, patients or the media question the original diagnosis explanation. What if chronic fatigue syndrome and autism don't even exist as discrete diseases? How do or can viruses and genetics lead to disease or developmental disruption? Can these causes truly account for the pathological symptoms?
And virtually never do doctors, patients, or the media leave off the argument about details to get general enough to find real patterns: what do chronic fatigue syndrome and autism have in common with obesity and cancer? Why do some people get one disease or another and other people no disease at all?
If you believe that "Medical Science" has answers to these questions, you are incorrect. Medical Science very rarely ever even asks these questions.
This is an extremely important issue, because no detailed, factual explanation of chronic fatigue syndrome or autism can be adequate to justify the use of extreme measures such as drugs, surgery, or institutionalization as the only possible solution when the causes and generalities are unknown.
While some critics do raise such questions, the debate rarely goes outside the factual, even among naturopathic physicians.
If a medical expert questions the initial logic behind a diagnosis proposal, the details of the facts often immediately become quite irrelevant. This is what several doctors have done over the past 150 years, since medicine left its practical realm in the trade of "physician" and took a special place in the hallowed halls of expertise, so mysterious and important as to be unquestioned by even the greatest questioners of our society.
If any person, in fact, questions the logic behind any aspect of modern medical dogma, she is in for it big time. This is why it rarely happens: questioners are immediately labelled "quacks," then "insane," soon "dangerous death cult," and if you go too far with it you have attempts on your life. Really.
Perhaps this is all okay; after all, we have widely-accepted scientific dogma that says "survival of the fittest," meaning that anyone who falls outside the norm in their words and deeds is probably unfit and not welcome in the ol' gene pool anyway. Perhaps it's alright to just let the medical people keep their little unquestioned assumptions as long as they work away so steadfastly on the front lines of the war against disease.
It's not okay. It is not okay to unquestioningly accept the word of any self-proclaimed "expert" - or their informing media - on matters of your health, especially when these experts make a great deal of money from your illness, earn nothing from your health, and will suffer absolutely no consequence for being wrong. It is utterly immoral to leave decisions about your body-mind and especially the body-mind health of your loved ones who are more needy than you, in the hands of people who make a grotesque amount of money practicing a philosophy that is filled with a thousand logical holes. There is a reason why death rates immediately decline when doctors go on strike. It's because (well-meaning, I'm sure) standard medical practices kill people.
Doctors are not trained to connect with your consciousness or their own consciousness, or in fact any aspect of the greater Truth. They are trained to replace parts and to do tune ups.
The Big Picture of Disease
Let's take a step back here, outside the milieu, and look at disease and medicine in a completely general way. Amazing things are revealed when we do this.
The people of our culture, since earliest records, attribute disease to malevolent external forces. We have a general concept that the natural human condition is perfect health and well-being, but from earliest infancy we must chase out the wild, biological demons, to protect ourselves from the evil of disease. This sense of life being a continuous battle between good and evil is called psychic equivalence.
The only thing that has changed in the 8,000 or so years of our recorded history is - you guessed it - the details. For millennia, we have argued the facts while the generalities have remained unquestioned by the culture as a whole. It's because this understanding is very much a part of our cultural mythology: disease is caused by malevolent forces in the world outside our bodies. The devil did it!
Over time, the malevolent forces have taken on different appearances in our cultural story, but the concern and response are precisely the same.
- bad or angry spirits - to be cast out with herbs, rituals
- demons - call the priest!
- bilious ethers - cast out by inducing vomiting, diarrhea, blood loss.
- bad air ("mal aria") - cast out the bad air, the swamps, and the unpleasant surroundings
- contagion - cast out the contagious by quarantine, and cast out the contagion with mercury ("quacksilber"), bismuth, lead, and other poisons
- fungi and bacteria, discovered after the invention of the microscope - cast out with antibiotics
- viruses - a completely hypothetical devil, cast out with incredibly lucrative vaccination programs
- environmental pollutants - cast out with chelation therapy and detoxification regimes
- and the latest: bad genes that sneak into our very DNA! Bad genes set us up for cancer, and create amazing syndromes of all kinds. The only way (yet) to cast out the bad genes is to surgically remove the products of their evil work.
All the arguments in medical science - in fact, in our entire culture - are about which of these is the cause of the disease and by which technique to cast out these evils.
The Truth About Disease
The only problem with our cultural belief about the ongoing battle to defend our bodies against the invasion of evil forces, is that it's nonsense. We spend our lives and our children's lives chasing around trying to magically cast out demons based on a handed-down mythology that is utter nonsense.
Diseases of the body are, without exception, the brain-mediated response of the biological organism to the experiences that it has had. And those experiences had by the organism relate strongly to its biological predisposition because of previous brain-mediated experiences.
In other words, when you have a certain kind of experience, your brain responds very specifically and your body experiences relevant symptoms as part of that process. You are more prone to certain kinds of experiences because your brain and body have been conditioned to put you into certain kinds of situations.
That's a generality. As you can see, by going right up to the big picture like this, I have instantly made an argument about whether bird 'flu is going to be a pandemic this year or next year completely irrelevant and actually very silly.
Question everything in medical science. It is your moral duty.
