Negative emotions do not cause disease in the way most people think...
Many people have the idea that negative emotion is like a poison which corrodes the body causing breakdown, dysfunction, and disease.
It is easy to see why this connection was made, but as new discoveries come to light we must evolve our understanding.
Dr. Hamer discovered that a biologically shocking event causes specific tissue adaptations.
If the shocking event is still occurring or if the individual is reliving it mentally and emotionally, they can go through a period of months or even years of biological tissue adaptations.
If the tissue adaptation persists for an extended period of time, adaptation symptoms and depletion symptoms begin and may be diagnosed as "disease".
Then if/when the person resolves their Biological Conflict, their body shifts into the Healing Phase where the tissue that was adapted needs to be returned to normal function many symptoms set in, again these symptoms are diagnosed as "disease".
While a person is in Conflict they, very often, are experiencing negative emotions due to the unresolved issue in their life experience.
It may seem like the negative emotion "caused" the disease, but it was the normal biological process which followed the Biological Conflict Shock that brought about the symptoms of adaptation or healing which was diagnosed as "disease".
This is a subtle, but very important distinction that sets Germanic New Medicine apart from other schools of mind body healing.
