Book excerpt: The German New Medicine discovered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer and systematized in the 5 Biological Laws represents a change in the understanding of what is commonly called a disease. The German New Medicine is not a new method of treatment but the understanding of natural laws applicable to humans and animals. Through his studies, Dr. R.G. Hamer, came to the conclusion that the disease processes are not "errors of nature" but rather Significant Biological Programs of Nature stemming from sudden and dramatic events. This book was written with the intent of shedding light on the understanding of the 5 Biological Laws, for those looking for and wanting to understand the issue fully; the study of matter and the spirit, whether reflective, critical and scientific, is up to the reader. www.5biologicallaws.com
