2 ID: 61 Adrenal cortex Conflict content Moving-into-wrong-direction-conflict, or being thrown off the track. 1. phase In the conflict phase there is a necrosis of the adrenal cortex that reduces the production of cortisol, causing a stressed fatigue, and an overall weakness. Typical diagnoses go from high blood pressure to Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, or Addison's disease. 2. phase In the regeneration phase we see a refilling of the necrosis that may be diagnosed as adrenal cysts. The cysts start being liquid, but consolidate and endure later, generating an excess of cortisol production. Despite of the vagotonia in this phase we feel full of beans and energy. The common diagnosis is hirsitismus or a Cushing's syndrome. At the end of the regeneration phase the blood pressure and the adrenal function return to normality. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, passage to midbrain Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase, and the regeneration phase, in order to increase the production of cortisol. ID: 93 Adrenal medulla Conflict content Unstandable-stress-conflict. 1. phase In the conflict phase we find a pheochromocytoma (odermal tumours of the adrenosympathetic system), and an increase and proliferation of the neurotransmitters and the hormones norepinephrine, dopamine and epinephrine. 2. phase In the regeneration phase an adrenal-"apoplexia" may be found. Apoplexia. Brain relay In the area of the autonomous nervous system, sympathetic trunk neuroganglion Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase, in order to get a better performance in a stressful situation.

3 ID: 56 Bladder - sphincter Conflict content Territory-marking-conflict. 1. phase In the conflict phase a muscle necrosis of the striated muscles of the bladder wall forms (cell loss). This can lead to a relaxation of the sphincter, and a temporary urinary incontinence. 2. phase In the regeneration phase the necrosis refills, and the muscle is able to close again. At this stage the muscle mat become thicker than it was before, which can lead to a rigidation, a tension or an occlusion of the sphincter. During the healing crisis however the sphincter may also relax, which can lead to an increased urinary incontinence. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, motorist, in pelvis area Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation, in order to be more able to mark the territory with urine and therefore to defend it. ID: 80 Appendix Blind Gut Conflict content Ugly-indigestible-anger-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a compact cauliflower-shaped, secretory blind gut tumour (Adenocarcinoma) grows. This can easily cause an obstruction of the blind gut and therefore increase the danger of perforation in the regeneration phase. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find a cell reduction, a necrosis of the blind gut tissue. This can show symptomatically as an acute or sub acute appendicitis. Caution is necessary, because in the healing crisis the occlusion of the blind gut can lead to perforation. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase in the conflict phase, in order to either reduce or dissolve a stuck chunk, or to assimilate vital substances better. Page 3

4 ID: 85 Bladder - sub mucosa Conflict content Ugly-conflict i.e. something felt as a mess, or something felt as very ugly. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a compact, cauliflower-shaped adenotumor grows, either secretory or a flax-shaped growing resorptive adenotumor, especially in the bladder triangle (sub mucous bladder trigonum). Secretory means that the chunk or the nutrition is being crushed, degraded or digested through the secretion of digestive juice (i.e. on cauliflower-shaped tumours like bladder polyps). Resorptive means that the nutritional substances are absorbed from the intestine into the blood stream and the lymph ducts (on flax-shaped growing adenotumors). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase a tuberculosis-caseating necrosis (with fungus or mycobacteria), or an encapsulation degrades the tumour. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons lateral ventral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase in the conflict phase, in order to enhance the reabsorbtion of urine and economize water (in case of flat, resorptive tumours). ID: 114 Bladder mucosa Conflict content Territory-marking-conflict i.e. to define a limit or a position. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, i.e. a tissue reduction as an ulcer of the bladder mucosa. It can bleed and cause pain or bladder spasms. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the ulcer is refilled. This can cause an intense swelling of the mucosa with bladder bleedings and even urination impairments. Typical symptoms are a strong urgency, pain and burning when urinating, with a reddish or turbid urine. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, temporal-occipital Biological meaning The biological meaning is that the bladder wall becomes thinner, so it can contain more liquid and the territory can be marked better. Page 4

5 ID: 24 Bladder mucosa Conflict content Territory-marking-conflict i.e. the inability to recognize the limit of the territory from inside, or to mark the limits of the own territory, mostly a conflict of defining a position. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find mostly bladder pain caused by the ulcer of the mucosa (in the non bleeding half of the bladder). Biologically the right half of the bladder corresponds to the female side, and the left half bladder to the male side. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see the symptom of a bleeding from the bladder ulcer. This is frequently accompanied by spasms and a swelling of the mucosa in the area of the ulcer, with slight or no pains. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, temporal-occipital, post-sensory Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction and the ulcerative dilatation of the bladder that allows more urine for marking the limits of the territory ID: 76 Blood vessels - arteries Conflict content Self devaluation-disability-conflict according to the corresponding localization. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a necrosis of the artery walls, in most cases of the intima and the smooth muscles, what the patient normally does not notice. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism tries to repair the necrosis of the arterial walls with a cell increase. In chronic cases we find the typical diagnose of an atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, depends on location of conflict content Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase in the regeneration phase, and the strengthening of the blood vessels. Page 5

6 ID: 7 Blood Vessels - Coronary arteries Conflict content Sensory territory-competition-fear-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss in the coronary arteries. In this phase the arterial volume is dilated-increased, allowing a higher blood flow and a strongly increased efficiency of our whole organism. Typical symptoms are stress signs, shooting heart pain, angina pectoris, and eventually a depression. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase our organism tries to repair the coronary arteries with a cell increase. Typical symptoms are now a swelling of the intima of the coronary arteries (Squamous epithelium mucosa), a cerebral edema, and maybe a stricture of the arteries (stenosis). The cell increase is normally diagnosed as a benign coronary stricture or a coronary obstruction. The healing crisis is the (left) cardiac infarct, which we need to pay a special attention on, in order to counteract if necessary. Psychic symptoms are mania and depression. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory, perinsula Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction and ulceration of the coronary arteries, in order to pump more blood, and face up to the "fight". ID: 62 Blood vessels - veins Conflict content Self devaluation according to the conflict content and the organ 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss and veins necrosis. Especially after several relapses this can appear as varicose veins on the legs. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find a cell proliferation, and the ulcerated veins thicken (Varices). The surrounding swelling is often diagnosed as a thrombophlebitis. In case of a syndrome the swelling of the veins may intensify. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, depending on organ location Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase and the strengthening of the wall of the veins Page 6

7 ID: 18 Blood Vessels - Coronary veins - neck of uterus Conflict content Loss-of-territory/sexual conflict depending on the handedness, hormonal situation, and conflict content, we find the following possibilities: on right-handed women in case of a sexual or a biological/sexual frustration conflict or on left-handed men in case of a territory conflict or in case of a schizophrenic constellation on right-handed men or left-handed women or in case of a special hormonal situation i.e. on postmenopausal left-handed women with a territory conflict (male reaction) or on effeminate right-handed men (hormonal disorder) in case of a not-be-copulatedconflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss as a coronary-veins-ulcer with an angina pectoris (pain or feeling of pressure around the heart). Appears often together with neck or mouth of uterus. 2. phase In the regeneration phase the ulcer is repaired through a cell growth. In most cases there is a swelling of the mucosa of the coronary-veins-intima. The pulmonary embolism is caused by parts of the thrombus that have been teared off as healing-clot-crusts from the ulcer of the coronary veins, and that now clog the branches of the pulmonary arteries. About 2-6 weeks after the conflict resolution the healing crisis shows as a pulmonary embolism, an acute pulmoembolic heart infarct (also called "female heart infarct") with the typical signs i.e. tachycardia, trembling, feeling of annihilation, dyspnea, centralization, etc. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, perinsul + Cerebellum (for neck of uterus) Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the conflict phase, and in the ulcerative dilatation of the coronary veins.

8 ID: 58 Bones Conflict content Inferiority-conflict conflict content according to the skeletal parts: cervical spine - intellectual-moral-self devaluation-conflict shoulder/arm - partner-child-self devaluation-conflict thoracic spine - central personality-self devaluation-conflict femoral neck - cannot stick out something pubic bone - sexual-self devaluation-conflict knee - sport/flexibility foot - flexibility-self devaluation-conflict hand - unhanded ness-self devaluation conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss in the bones (Osteolysis, Osteoporosis) as the case may be a benign cell loss (Anaemia) or a malignant cell loss in the medulla. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is a cell increase in the bones with an edema and pain in the bones (i.e. as back pain or herniated disc). A common diagnosis is a benign cell growth in the medulla (starting with an intense anaemia due to the vagotonus and the blood edema), or a malignant cell growth in the medulla, or leucemia. Frequently an intense pain caused by the stretching of the periostium. There may be a re-calcification of the osteolisis (Osteosarcoma). In case of an osteolisis in the joints area we usually see a joint rheumatism. Due to the edema in the regeneration phase, there is an increased risk of bone fractures. In case of gout an active renal collecting tubule/territoryconflict (with an increased level of urea in the blood serum) may arise in addition to the regeneration phase of the bones. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, depends on localization Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell increase and the strengthening of the bones in the regeneration phase. Page 8

9 ID: 115 Brain tumours Conflict content 1. Phase 2. Phase Cerebral tumours can be found normally only in the regeneration phase, when the conflict has been solved, and the organism tries to recover. On the cerebral level we see an edema and an increase of the glia (connective tissue of the cerebrum). In case of long and intensive conflicts, or distended brain relays that block vital functions, we find the typical symptoms like headaches, brain pressure, seizures, disorders of speech, reduction in vision, impaired consciousness, etc. In these cases the corresponding medical measures must be taken at an early stage. Germ layer Brain relay Location depends on disease program Biological meaning ID: 4 Branchial arch ganglia Conflict content Fear-of-frontal-attack-conflict something is coming right at us and we cannot protect ourselves from it, nor do anything. 1. Phase In the conflict an ulcer forms in the Branchial arc ganglia, which are covered with squamous epithelium. Sometimes patients feel a slight pain in the throat area. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the mucosa in the Branchial arch ganglia swells. Therefore cysts containing a serous liquid develop. These cysts can cover the mediastinum up to the diaphragm. In most cases the diagnosis is a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma or a bronchial cancer of the small cells. The swelling rarely causes a feeling of breathlessness or a danger of asphyxiation. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, frontal Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction and the ulcerative dilatation of the Branchial arc ganglia, in order to improve the water flow rate and the breathing. Page 9

10 ID: 31 Breast - intraductal Conflict content Separation-fear-conflict I.e. from mate, child, mother, home or nest. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we detect a cell loss in the mammary ducts (an ulcerative dilatation) with a sensory paralysis (Numbness), in most cases felt as a slight dragging pain in the mamma. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the cell growth may be diagnosed as a benign growth in the mammary ducts, as a carcinoma in situ, or as a malignant carcinoma of the mammary ducts. Due to the swelling of the squamous epithelium mucosa the secretion cannot run off through the occluded mammary duct. This can cause a more or less intense swelling behind the nipple (a typical finding for a carcinoma of the mammary ducts). The mamma may be inflamed, swollen and enlarged, in most cases accompanied by hypersensitivity. The healing crisis is the absence or short-term memory disorders. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory cortical Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell loss of the conflict phase, in order to be more able to deal with the separation. ID: 48 Breast - mammary glands Conflict content Worry-argument or nest-conflict i.e. with mate, child, mother, home, nest. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a proliferation of the mammary glands cells, which can be diagnosed as a benign fibro adenoma or as a lobular breast cancer. In most cases compact nodes are perceptible. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see a loss of the mammary glands cells with an encapsulation of the nodes or a caseating tuberculosis degradation of the nodes by mycobacteria. Typical symptoms of the healing phase are an edema, a painful scaring athrophy, and a necrotic, stinking degradation of the tumour (open breast with elimination of a stinking secretion) through the outlet of the tumour. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebellum, lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase of the conflict phase. Page 10

11 ID: 6 Bronchial asthma Conflict content Territory-fear-conflict i.e. somebody is threatening to invade our territory, or wants to leave it without our permission. 1. Phase In case of a schizophrenic constellation both conflicts appear at the same time! The expiratory wheezing reflects the spasm of the bronchial muscles, like the reaction of the stomach muscles in case of a stomach ulcer. 2. Phase Only when the hurting feeling slows down, or after the conflict has been solved, the controlling functions revert. The organism wants to recover and regenerate, the bronchia constrict, and this causes the asthma. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, perinsul Biological meaning The biological sense of the bronchial asthma is the healing crisis of the bronchial musculature. ID: 5 Bronchial mucosa Conflict content Sensory territory-fear-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a bronchial cell loss, mostly without intense symptoms. The autonomic nervous system is attuned to stress and conflict resolution, trying to process the " hurting feeling". 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism reacts with a proliferation of the bronchial cells. After the conflict resolution we find the typical cough symptoms, i.e. a lack of ventilation (Atelectasis) due to the swelling of the bronchial mucosa. In the healing crisis we find also the asthma attack (see also bronchial asthma in case of 2 active conflicts). Psychic symptoms may be short-term memory dysfunctions and disorientation. The cell growth in this phase may be diagnosed as a benign bronchitis or as a malignant pulmonary tumour. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory, frontal-lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the dilatation of the bronchial alveoli, in order to become more able to compete. Page 11

12 ID: 101 Bronchial tubes - goblet cells Conflict content Inability-to-salivate-air-chunk-conflict i.e. the fear of suffocation, or to choke on something. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a flax-shaped growing adenocarcinoma grows. This carcinoma consists of goblet cells from the old bronchial-intestinal mucosa, and can have a secretory or a resorptive character. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour is tuberculosis caseating degradated by mycobacteria. In case of multiple relapses, or if it occurs in the babyhood, the goblet cells may be completely destroyed (Mucoviscidosis). Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation and the increased secretion of liquid, which ensures a better gliding of the "air-chunk". ID: 68 Cardiac - smooth muscles Conflict content Peristaltic-like transportation of blood. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a muscle thickening with a locally increased peristalsis. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see an increased peristalsis in the entire smooth part of the cardiac muscle and at the same time a tranquillization of the local musculature. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Brain stem, yet located in midbrain Biological meaning The biological meaning is the local strengthening of the cardiac muscle and the improvement of the cardiac function. Page 12

13 ID: 74 Cardiac muscle-myocardium Conflict content Being-overwhelmed-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss and a necrosis of the cardiac muscle. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is a restoration and a muscular hypertrophy. The symptoms of the healing crisis are heart trembling, heart cramps, a heightened blood pressure (of the brain artery with venous blood in this case), or a myocardial infarct of the right heart. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation and the strengthening of the muscles, in order to be prepared for further strain. ID: 53 Cartilage Conflict content Minor-self devaluation-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell reduction, I.e. a necrosis of the cartilage. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is a cell growth in the form of a hypertrophy of the cartilage (Hyperchondrosis). This process may be diagnosed as a malignant tumour of the cartilage tissue (Chondrosarcoma). In case of a syndrome a keloid swelling of the cartilage may arise. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation and the strengthening of the cartilage Page 13

14 ID: 81 Colon Conflict content Ugly-indigestible-anger-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a cauliflower-shaped adenocarcinoma (secretory) or a flax-shaped adenocarcinoma (wall thickening/resorptive) grows. The production of gastric juice is also increased. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour shows a tuberculosis caseating, necrotizing degradation through fungus. Typical symptoms may be bleedings, colon tuberculosis, or a colitis ulcerosa (a chronic recurrent elimination of flat parts of the tumour). Brain relay Brain stem, Pons lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell increase, in order to be more able to reduce the stuck chunk through an increase gastric juice, or to increase the ingestion through a flaxshaped growing wall thickening. ID: 51 Connective tissue Conflict content Minor-self devaluation-conflict different conflict contents according to the localization. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find necrosis (cell loss or reduction) of the connective tissue. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism repairs itself with a cell proliferation. Typical symptoms are keloids, connective tissue like neoplasm s (Furuncles), in most cases with staph or mixed flora. It can also show as a painful and deep going nodal inflammation of the hair follicle or as a scarred healing. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation, and the restoration and strengthening of the connective tissue. Page 14

15 ID: 44 Ear - Hearing Conflict content Hearing-conflict not wanting to hear something. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a functional reduction and a loss of the ability to hear certain frequencies. This appears through a tinnitus (roaring, buzzing, ringing, whistling in the ear). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the function recovers slowly. The symptoms are an acute hearing loss, and an edema in the internal ear and in the cerebral hearing centre for these specific frequencies. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, temporo-basal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the conflict phase. We don't want to hear the unpleasant thing; but in case the situation repeats, we are being warned = tinnitus. ID: 107 Ear - Middle Conflict content Hearing-conflict i.e. cannot catch (believe) nor get rid of an information chunk. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a flat growing, resorptive tumour grows in the middle ear and in the mastoid. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour is degradated through a cell reduction with a tuberculosis, caseating necrosis by fungus or mycobacterium. Typical symptoms are a purulent inflammation of the middle ear (Otitis media) or even a perforation of the timpane (running ear). Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Nervus staoacusticus Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase and the improvement of the archaic hearing (resorptiv), in order to assimilate or eliminate the information better. Page 15

16 ID: 108 Eustachian tubes Conflict content Hearing-conflict i.e. cannot catch (believe) nor get rid of an information chunk. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a compact, flat growing, resorptive tumour grows. This can cause an obstruction of the Eustachian tubes, and the drawn-in of the tympanic membrane due to insufficient ventilation can cause a hearing impairment. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour degrades through a stinking, tuberculosis caseation. This purulent liquid can drain through the mouth or the middle ear (simulating an Otitis media). Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase, in order to assimilate or eliminate the information better. ID: 28 Eye - cornea Conflict content Strong-visual-separation -conflict i.e. we lost sight of somebody or something. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, which can be diagnosed as an ulcer of the cornea, but the patient mostly does not notice it. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see an inflammation of the cornea, and a refilling of the cornea ulcer with a temporary opacity of the cornea and a keratitis (collective term for cornea diseases like edema, pain, etc.). Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory, lateral-temporal Biological meaning The meaning lies in the cell reduction, in order to temporarily forget what we lost sight of. Page 16

17 ID: 29 Eye - crystalline lens Conflict content Visual-separation-conflict i.e. we lost sight of somebody or something. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we see a cell loss as a necrosis of the crystalline lens, which is mostly not been noticed. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism reacts with an opacity of the crystalline lens that is diagnosed as a cataract. Although the function can completely recover, the opacity becomes stronger with every relapse. Other typical symptoms are water inclusion, enlargement or bending of the lens. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory lateral-temporal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell reduction, in order to continue seeing "the one we lost sight of". After the conflict resolution, i.e. when the object or person we lost sight of is back, the eyes have time for repairing. ID: 90 Eye - iris Conflict content Inability-to-catch-or-avoid-light-particles-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell growth that can show as an iris tumour, or a swelling of the smooth muscle contraction. Due to this swelling the pupil cannot adapt to the incidence of light (Fixed pupil). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find an iris tuberculosis or coloboma. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons medial ventral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase that helps to catch or to avoid a light particle (chunk). Page 17

18 ID: 91 Eye - lacrimal glands Conflict content Visual-chunk-conflict i.e. the inability to get rid of something that we did not see on time, or the inability to catch (believe) something. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we see a cell growth, visible as a cauliflower-shaped growing adenocarcinoma of the lacrimal glands. In the regeneration phase our organism degrades the excessive cells of the lacrimal glands. This can happen through a tuberculosis, caseating, necrotizing degradation with a concurrence of TBC bacteria. Typical symptoms in this phase are purulent tears. In case of repeating relapses (conflicts) the lacrimal glands dry up, and the symptoms are a mucoviscidosis of the lacrimal glands (lacrimation dissecation). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase our organism degrades the excessive cells of the lacrimal glands. Typical symptoms of this phase are an encapsulation, caseation with stinking discharge (cold abscess), or purulent tears (due to fungus and mycobacteria). In case of relapses (repeated conflicts) the lacrimal glands can dry out (Mucoviscidosis). Typical symptoms are purulent tears. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation. This allows to get rid of something we do not want to see any more, or to get something we would like to have seen. ID: 37 Eye - lacrimal glands ducts Conflict content To-be-seen or not-want-to-be-seen-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, an ulcer in the lacrimal glands ducts. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see a swelling of the mucosa of the gland ducts, and therefore congestion and a swelling of the lacrimal glands. A common diagnosis is a tumour of the lacrimal glands. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, fronto-medio-lateral-basal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell reduction and the ulcerative dilatation of the excretory ducts of the lacrimal glands Page 18

19 ID: 16 Eye - retina Conflict content Fear-of-rear-attack-conflict Fear of something we cannot deal with that is threatening or lurking from behind. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a reduction in vision. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase an edema forms between the eye dermis (Sclera) and the retina. This can lead to a retinal detachment that is particularly intense on the retinal cavity (Fovea centralis). Although the retinal detachment is a symptom of the regeneration phase that is only temporary and dies down by itself, it causes a dramatic reduction in vision. In case of a syndrome intense complications can be found (edema and swelling). The nearsightedness (myopia) is a result of a lateral retinal detachment with relapses that leads to an optical elongation of the eyeball, and a retinal detachment due to a callosity between the retina and the sclera. The farsightedness is caused by a dorsal retinal detachment with relapses that leads to an optical contraction of the eyeball. Brain relay Cerebral cortex Biological meaning The biological meaning is the reduction of the function, what suppresses or deactivates the fear or danger that is threatening from behind. ID: 17 Eye - vitreous body Conflict content Fear-of-rear-attack-conflict Somebody or something is threatening us unexpectedly and frightening us. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a functional reduction in vision, vitreous opacity, or glaucoma. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we see a resolution and a normalization of the vitreous opacity accompanied by a glaucoma (an increased pressure inside the eye). The edema frequently presses backwards through the entry hole of the optic nerve. It is highly advised against operating with laser during the conflict phase or the regeneration phase, because the vitreous body would be irreparably destroyed. In case of a syndrome complications can arise if the glaucoma becomes too intense. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, paramedian interhemisphere Biological meaning The biological meaning is the reduction of the function or the partial opacation of the vitreous body, in order to cloud the danger and improve the sight forward on the escape way. Page 19

20 ID: 13 Eyelid - Conjunctiva Conflict content Separation-loss-conflict i.e. we loose somebody, we separate or split from a loved person or loose sight of him or her. 1. Phase In the conflict phase the eyelids and the conjunctiva react with an ulcer, this is a cell loss. Mostly without other symptoms than squamous cell formation. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism refills the ulcer through a cell growth. Typical symptoms in this phase are the conjunctivitis, a redness of the eye lids (Blepharitis) and the conjunctiva (Conjunctivitis), also connected with pain, itching, burning, loss of eyelashes, etc. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensory Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction, in order to be more able to deal with the visual separation. ID: 42 Facial paralysis - facioplegia Conflict content To-loose-the-face-conflict, or the fear to be fooled. 1. phase In the conflict phase we find a functional reduction and a paralysis of the facial muscles that is mostly called a stroke. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the facial muscles recover their function and innervation. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, motoric, lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the loss of function and the reflex of feigning death. Page 20

21 ID: 52 Fatty tissue - adipose tissue Conflict content Minor-self devaluation-conflict i.e. devaluation-conflict related to the part of the body that we feel as unesthetic, too skinny or too fat. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, noticeable through necrosis of the adipose tissue. Mostly without intense symptoms in this phase. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase neoplasm s of fat tissue (Lipomas) form for the recovering of the fat tissue. In case of a simultaneously active renal collecting tubule/territory-conflict (Syndrome) we find a cellulites as a hanging lipomatous healing. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the proliferation of the fat tissue, in order to strengthen the fat layer. ID: 10 Gallbladder ducts Conflict content Territory-anger-conflict, I.e. violation of the limits to a neighbour, rival, mate, co-worker, etc., anger about somebody who invades our territory. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, an ulcer of the intrahepatic and the extrahepatic bile ducts, and the gall bladder, in most cases combined with cramping pain and a biliary colic. Typical symptoms are abdominal tension, bile vomiting, and chills. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism refills the ulcer with a cell growth. The first signs are increased cholesterol and bile acid, or an intracanicular swelling of the mucosa, a temporary obstruction of the bile ducts or cholestasis (Icterus), either in a small part of the intrahepatic and the extrahepatic bile ducts (Anicteric hepatitis), or in a larger part of them (Icteric hepatitis). The hepatitis process can take different forms: hepatitis with or without A and B viruses. The healing crisis of the hepatitis is the hepatic coma. As in the case of a stomach ulcer, the typical symptoms like stomach bleeding, increased functional readings, alcalic photophatasis and bilirubine are not the most dreaded. It is at the point when the reading of the liver function drop that the hepatic coma happens. This cerebral coma can show as a slight up to a deep (comatose) unconsciousness. In case of a syndrome the readings of the liver function (specially the gamma CT values) can increase highly, and an intense liver swelling (Hepatomegalia) and a tensional pain in the hepatic capsule can be found. Another form of the hepatic cirrhosis consists in a narrowing (Stenosis) of the intrahepatic bile ducts after an expired hepatitis, similar to the bronchial or the coronary stenosis. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, temporal Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction and the ulcerative dilatation of the intrahepatic and the extrahepatic pancreatic ducts, to improve the bile flowing. Page 21

22 ID: 27 Hair - alopecia Conflict content Separation conflict depending on personal associations with certain parts of the body, i.e. we used to caress the head of a loved one, and now we do not any more. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a progressive hair loss either of small areas to a complete hairlessness (Alopecia androgenica). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we can find a very intense loss of hair, often by bundles. Later there is a redness of the head skin with a return of the hair growing. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, sensoryparamedian-cranial Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell reduction, the decrease of the sensitivity, and therefore a temporary oblivion of the separation. ID: 72 Intestine - greater omentum Conflict content Ugly-abdomen-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell growth in the greater omentum of the intestine. This is mostly diagnosed as a compact cauliflower-shaped adenoidal mesothelioma (benign or malignant tumour). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase our organism degrades the tumour through tuberculosis, caseating necrosis, or in cases without bacteria the tumour persists. This process frequently comes along with adhesions of the peritoneum. In this phase a special attention on the ascites (accumulation of clear liquids) must be paid. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebellum, lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase and the strengthening of the peritoneum. Page 22

23 ID: 94 Intestine - small Conflict content Indigestible-chunk-conflict, i.e. cannot digest something, an indigestible anger is often an aspect of starvation. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell proliferation, and a flax-shaped growing tumour of the small intestine develops (Adenocarcinoma, resorptive quality). This cancer of the small intestine is widely extended, and consist of only few layers of intestine cylinder epithelium carcinoma. This cell proliferation rarely causes a material obstruction (Ileus). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour is degradated through a tuberculosis-caseating necrosis. In this phase the degradating intestinal tumour may bleed. At the same time the bleeding mucosa shreds and the mucus is desquamated and eliminated with the stool. The diagnosis can indicate morbus Crohn, ileitis or other forms of intestinal inflammation. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons ventro-lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell increase for a better digestion and assimilation of the nutrition or other chunks. ID: 67 Intestine - smooth muscles Conflict content Inability-to-move-chuck-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we see a locally increased peristalsis on the in and out going smooth muscles of the intestine. The rest of the intestine reacts with a reduced peristalsis. In this case the diagnosis can be a paralytic ileus, or enteroparesis. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find an increased peristalsis in the whole intestine that can show as intestinal colics. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Brain stem, yet located in midbrain Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the intensification of the intestinal peristalsis, in order to be able to forward the chunk stronger. Page 23

24 ID: 78 Kidney - collecting tubules Conflict content Existence-abandonment-isolation-conflict i.e. fear of being alone, or the threat of life, the feeling that we lost everything or are not adequately supported 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell increase and a compact kidney tumour between the renal calices and the tubule. Typical characteristics are increased and unphysiological water retention, maybe an edema, over-weight, and in extreme cases a renal insufficiency, renal collapse, uremia, and a benign renal tumour or a malignant renal cell carcinoma. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is a reduction of the renal cells. The water retention starts normalizing; there is also an encapsulation or a tuberculosis degradation of the tumour (renal tuberculosis), a clumping of the renal pelvis, in some cases nephritis. It can be distinguished between the biological healing with a caseating, necrotizing tuberculosis, and the unbiological healing without tuberculosis. There may be an obstruction of the renal pelvic outlet (silent kidney). In most cases the uremia disappears spontaneously with the resolution of the existence conflict. Renal calices syndrome: the active inclusion of water in the calices is specially important in the case of a second simultaneously active disease program in the regeneration phase (i.e. bones= gout). Brain relay Brain stem, Pons ventral crossed Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell growth and the active retention of water, in order to improve the ability to survive. ID: 66 Kidneys parenchyma Conflict content Water-fluidity-conflict i.e. somebody was almost drowned, or suffered a flooding. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell reduction of the kidney tissue and one or more necrosis of the renal parenchyma originate. Typical symptoms are the increase of harnpflichtigen substances (Creatinine, urea) and a higher blood pressure. In case of a long lasting conflict this can cause a sclerotic kidney. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase a renal cyst forms due to a cell growth on the renal parenchyma. This is first liquid, later it solidifies or densifies (indures) The indured renal cyst that becomes a part of the kidney and is even able to produce urine, is diagnosed as a nephroblastom. The high blood pressure of the conflict phase eases at the end of the regeneration phase. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, at passage to midbrain Biological meaning The biological meaning is the regeneration phase with a cell proliferation and an increased elimination of urine. Page 24

25 ID: 3 Larynx -asthma Conflict content Shocking-fear-conflict 1. Phase In the conflict phase there is mostly a feeling of breathlessness. The larynx asthma appears simultaneously with a conflict activity of another brain relay in the right cerebral lobe cortex (Schizophrenic symptoms). 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is an acute dyspnea episode with a short schizophrenic constellation in the healing crisis. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, frontal-lateral + plus another Cerebral cortex conflict Biological meaning The biological meaning is the ulcerative dilatation of the larynx volumen, in order to breathe faster in case of a simultaneous activity of the second biological conflict. ID: 2 Larynx -mucosa Conflict content Shocking-fear or loss-of-speech-conflict i.e. fear of an unexpected danger or to be paralysed with fear, or not knowing what to say. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, visible as an ulcer in the larynx or the vocal cords area. In most cases we do not perceive much, beside a slight pain in the larynx, a slight voice change or diction dysfunctions. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the organism reacts with a cell growth that causes a swelling of the larynx mucosa. In most cases there is a change in the voice. Typical symptoms can be a feeling of pressure, a tickle in the throat, respiratory distress, up to a chronic hoarseness. In this stage the diagnosis may be polyps of the vocal cords or a laryngeal cancer. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, frontal-lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell reduction and the dilatation of the larynx volumen, in order to improve the breathing. Page 25

26 ID: 96 Liver parenchyma Conflict content Starvation-existence-conflict. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a proliferation of the adeno-cells of the liver. Symptoms are among others a cauliflower-shaped growing, secretory adenocarcinoma, a spheroidally growing, resorptive adenocarcinoma. This can be either a singular, solitary liver round focus (starvation conflict about an other person or a pet), or several, multiple roud focuses (in case of starvation conflict for oneself). Intensive and comprehensive conflicts can appear as a cancer of the intestine, the liver and the pancreas at the same time. 2. Phase The regeneration phase can take different forms. Either the tumour degrades through tuberculin mycobacteria, or it encapsulates or calcifies. In this phase the liver swells, the patient is tired, run-down with slight fever and night sweating (as it is the case of all brain stem and cerebellum organs with tuberculosis). The hepatocirrhosis can also be found in case of an ulcer of the intrahepatic pancreatic ducts, or an hepatitis. Brain relay brain stem, Pons lateral Biological meaning The biological meaning is the cell proliferation, in order to be more able to reabsorb the nutrition and/or to digest the nutrition better due to an increased bile secretion. ID: 100 Lungs - alveoli Conflict content Fear-of-death-conflict, i.e. fear of death in accidents, diagnosis shock, etc. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a proliferation of the lung cells with an increased breathing, an unphysiologic increased oxygen absorption, and hyperventilation. The diagnosis goes from a benign lung alveoli tumour up to a malignant lung carcinoma. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the tumour degrades through a cell loss if there are tuberculine mycobacteria. Without bacteria the lung nodules persist. Typical symptoms are an encapsulation of the tumour or a tuberculosis degradation (Pulmonary tuberculosis or pulmonary emphysema), a normalization of the breathing and the assimilation of oxygen. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell proliferation of the conflict phase, in order to be able to escape from a threatening situation. Page 26

27 ID: 60 Lymph nodes Conflict content Minor-self devaluation-conflict conflict content according to the skeletal parts. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we see a cell reduction, this is a necrosis of the lymph nodes, similar to what happens with the bones. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find a cell growth and a refilling of the necrosis, in most cases with a swelling of the lymph nodes. If there is a histological finding of mitosis or cell division, the refilled and swollen lymph nodes are diagnosed as malignant lymph tumours (Hodgkin disease). In contrast to this, the lymph nodes in the area of an abscess outlet, which is for example swollen from being overstressed, are diagnosed as benign. In case of a simultaneously active renal-collecting-tubule-conflict, the swelling can be very intense. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, depends on skeletal bone Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell proliferation and the strengthening of the lymph node. ID: 63 Lymph vessel Conflict content Minor-self devaluation-conflcit special disability of the localization according to the corresponding skeletal part. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we find a cell loss, visible as a necrosis of the lymph vessels wall. At the same time we find, especially in case of intensive self-devaluation conflicts, osteolisis in the corresponding skeletal parts, i.e. decalcification of the bones. 2. Phase There are basically two different lymph programs: 1. In case of a benign swelling of the lymph or the lymph node there is no cell proliferation (Mitosis). Due to the intensified metabolic processes and the lymph congestion, i.e. in case of abscesses, we find a swelling and a bulking of the lymph glands. The lymph vessels work at full speed in order to break down the congestion. 2. In case of a swelling of the lymph that is diagnosed as malignant by the orthodox medicine, there is a cell proliferation, which is seen as a malignant and degenerated growing. After all our organism tries to refill and repair the necrosis of the lymph vessels from the conflict phase. Typical symptoms are a dilatation of the lymph vessels, insufficient lymph drainage, and an intense swelling (specially in case of a syndrome). In case of intense self-devaluation-conflicts, not only the lymph vessels are affected, but also the bones that react similarly. Germ layer Middle germ layer, mesoderm Brain relay Cerebral medulla, depends on skeletal bone Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the regeneration phase and in the cell proliferation, in order to increase the activity of lymphatic fluid. Page 27

28 ID: 14 Metabolism, thalamus Conflict content Self-renouncement-conflict i.e. if I only was dead Phase In the conflict phase intense restlessness, insomnia, and changes in various hormonal (Hypophysis) and blood-chemical parameters. Major changes in the vegetative, manic restlessness. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase the hormonal and the chemical parameter of the blood normalize, as well as the vegetative. In the case of an active renal collecting tubule/territory-conflict-syndrome there is a danger of compression of the diencephalic aqueduct and a resulting hydrocephalus internus, with a swelling of one or both halves of the thalamus. Brain relay Cerebral cortex, thalamus area Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the conflict phase that allows us to cope better with the stress. ID: 41 Motorial paralysis (MS) Conflict content Paralysing-conflict i.e. cannot flee or come along (legs), cannot hold or repel (arms, hands), cannot evade (shoulder and back muscles), to be at a loss (paralysis of the legs), etc. 1. Phase In the conflict phase we see an increasing motor paralysis of the muscles. There is less or no impulses coming from the motorial centre of the cerebral cortex to the skeletal muscles, this can affect singular muscles, whole muscle groups or whole extremities. The paralysis is mostly not painful. In case of a longer duration there is a considerable danger of a second conflict and therefore of a schizophrenic constellation. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase there is temporary an apparent deterioration of the motor function. Uncontrolled convulsions can arise, and as a healing crisis we find an epileptic seizure. After this healing crisis the innervation of the muscles recovers slowly. Morbus Parkinson originates from a healing that never ends, because of recurrent small relapses (hanging healing). Brain relay Cerebral cortex, frontal, motoric Biological meaning The biological meaning is the loss of function and the reflex of feigning death Page 28

29 ID: 106 Mouth Conflict content Inability-to-salivate-to-get-chunk-in-or-out-conflict i.e. cannot assimilate the food rightly. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a flat growing, resorptive tumour of the squamous epithelium mucosa of the mouth forms, which is not visible in most of the cases. 2. Phase In the regeneration phase we find a tuberculosis-caseating cell degradation that shows in a trench mouth (aphthous stomatitis) or an oral candidiasis. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell proliferation that improves the ability to salivate and assimilate nutrition (chunk), or to get it out of the pharynx faster. ID: 88 Mouth - Palate Conflict content Inability-to-get-chunk-in-or-out-conflict i.e. the inability to spit out something, or after getting something, the inability to swallow it. 1. Phase In the conflict phase a compact, cauliflower-shaped growing palate tumour (Adenocarcinoma) grows. It can be a secretory or a flax-shaped growing, resorptive palate tumour of the old residual intestinal mucosa (under the squamous epithelium of the mouth). 2. phase In the regeneration phase the tumour is degradated through fungus (Mycosis) or mycobacteria. This can show by a stinking smell. Brain relay Brain stem, Pons dorsal Biological meaning The biological meaning lies in the cell increase that helps to get and to forward a chunk better and faster.
