In cooperation with Björn, it is splitted on "Disease is Different" into the sections by organ systems and combined with the real cases of our international testimonial / report archive of the related organ system.
LIVER AND GALLBLADDER
The liver (hepar) is the largest internal organ of the human body. It is the central organ for metabolism and the “chemical laboratory.“ Venous blood enters the liver through the portal vein carrying nutrients from the intestines and through worn-out blood cells from the spleen. The primal, endodermal tissue of the liver (liver parenchyma) serves to take up nutrition (absorptive function) and produce bile (secretory function). Some of the bile ducts lie within the liver (intrahepatic), while others lie outside the liver (extrahepatic). The bile flows through the bile ducts over the dead-end-like gallbladder into the duodenum. The bile ducts and gallbladder are muscular tubes lined with ectodermal squamous epithelium. The liver is regarded as the bodily organ that is most capable of regenerating.

Liver adeno-ca, round liver lesions (hepatocellular cancer)1
Conflict | Existential or starvation conflict, fear for one’s own existence because of hardship, poverty and food shortage, fear of starving (e.g., crop failure, unemployment). A lack of love, money, attention, recognition that is perceived as an existential threat. |
---|---|
Examples | ➜ This conflict is often the result of a diagnosis of colon cancer. Many patients believe that they will starve because of colon cancer > growth of circular hepatic lesions in the active-phase, tubercular degradation in the repair phase. A mother during World War II told her six-year-old daughter: “You have to eat your milk soup or we can just order a casket right now.“ = Existential or starvation conflict. As with most starving war children, the little ones develop liver cysts (recurring–conflict) in the repair phase. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Band 2, p. 314) The mother of a baby must often drive long distances because of her job. It often happens that the infant is alone for long periods. This causes him to suffer an existential or starvation conflict. (Archive B. Eybl) A rich patient hires a cook for her household. Since the patient is always interfering with her cooking, the cook quits her job. The next cook also quits after just a short time. One day – just before a big dinner party – another cook quits. “Who‘s going to cook now for all these people?“ = Starvation conflict (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Bd. 1, p. 254) A patient, a small entrepreneur, is lying in the hospital and learns that the rent on her shop is to be raised, contrary to the rental agreement. This causes her to suffer an existential or starvation conflict. (See Dr. Hamer, Goldenes Buch, Bd. 1, p. 608) |
Conflict-active | Conflict–active Increase in function and growth of a tumor adeno-ca of secretory or absorptive quality = hepatic circular foci, rise of the enzyme cholinesterase level in the blood due to increased liver metabolism. A single (solitary) circular lesion appears, when an existential or starvation conflict is a substitution conflict for another person; a number of round liver lesions appear if the conflict affects oneself. Fatty liver (hepar adiposum): An SBS of the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets can probably cause fat storage in the hepatic cells, which would reflect the biological meaning of an existential threat. Possibly though, it is just the sugar relay that is responsible for the fatty liver. |
Bio. function | With more liver cells of absorptive quality, the food can be “sucked up“ (utilized) better. With more liver cells of secretory quality, more bile can be produced, with which the food can be better digested > both tumors help to avoid starvation or, in other words, ensure existence. |
Repair phase | Normalization of function, tubercular-caseating degradation of the tumor via fungi or bacteria (mycobacteria), hepatitis, swelling of the liver, pain, night sweats, mild fever. If no bacteria are present: encapsulation and disconnection from the metabolism. |
Repair crisis | Chills, severe liver pain. |
Note | Nowadays, hepatic adeno-ca is most common in the famine regions of Africa (real starvation) – in the well-fed West, it is usually the consequence of a cancer diagnosis (iotrogenic). Typical sequence of early childhood starvation conflict: never getting the feeling that one is full. Caution: In cancer patients, very old liver cysts are often interpreted as “liver metastases.” |
Questions | First, determine if there is actually a relevant SBS of the liver running (look at the cholinesterase level). With cancer patients, a “metastasis” is often diagnosed from a harmless spot on the liver (hyper/hypodense lesion). When did the symptoms begin? (Determine if they are repair phase symptoms or conflict-active symptoms). Was there a starvation conflict in recent months? Take a look at the career status, financial emergency, money problems due to a divorce, bankruptcy, etc.). Substitution conflict? (E.g., sympathy with a suffering child)? What was the infancy/childhood like? How did the parents live? Is there a history of liver disease in the family/ancestors? (Determine the causal conditioning – work out similar conflict situations). How am I dealing with the diagnosis? Am I able to see and understand the connections? |
Therapy | Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life. Guiding principles: “I will live.“ “My existence is secure.“ “I have enough to eat.“ “God guides me through all my difficulties.“ Possibly surgery – of course, without chemo and radiation. See also: remedies for the liver on p. 269. |
Liver tuberculosis, collection of pus in the liver (liver abscess)
Phase | Repair phase: With the help of bacteria there is a tubercular, necrotizing degradation of the round lesions of the liver (= liver tuberculosis). |
---|---|
Note | If the conflict recurs, connective-tissue capsules of pus appear (liver abscess). Both situations are accompanied by swelling of the liver, pain, night sweats and fever. When the tuberculosis has run its course, calcium deposits can remain = CM‘s “calcification of the liver.“ |
Therapy | The conflict is resolved. Support the healing. Possibly, pain relievers and antibiotics. See also: remedies for the liver p. 269. |
1 See Dr. Hamer, Charts p. 22
Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), hepatitis
(ectodermal), acute or chronic hepatitis types, autoimmune
hepatitis, cancer of the bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma)1
Conflict | Territorial-anger conflict or identity conflict (dependent on “handedness,” hormone levels and previous conflicts). One is angry because the territory or territorial boundaries are not respected. According to Frauenkron-Hoffmann: Resentful, one can’t forgive, always making accusations. |
---|---|
Examples | For territorial-anger conflict (see: p.250 for examples of identity conflicts): ➜ Most of the time, aggression plays a role either from oneself or from another. ➜ Trouble with work colleagues or family members, boundary violations or encroachments by the neighbors. Fights over territory or money. One is livid with anger. ➜ A person is irritated or provoked. They is drawn out of their normal reserve. One is “bilious.” A family man and former police officer has been retired for years. For some time, his liver has been bothering him but he hasn‘t paid much attention to it. The problem originated from past anger at work. Adherence to law and order has always been his highest duty and this has led to territorial-anger conflicts. One day, he draws the last straw: He learns that his sister has misappropriated a large sum of money from his mother‘s estate = large, recurring, territorial-anger conflict. He breaks contact with his sister, but that cannot alleviate his anger. The patient dies of a hepatic coma (= repair phase crisis of the liver and bile ducts) and syndrome (p. 277). (See Claudio Trupiano, thanks to Dr. Hamer, p. 333). A 71-year-old married, right-handed woman has a 41-year-old, mentally–ill daughter (seven suicide attempts), who often phones in the middle of the night and threatens to kill herself. The mother then immediately gets into her car and drives the 40 km (25 mi) to her daughter = 26 years of chronic-active territorial-anger conflict with regard to the bile ducts. A year ago, she began to draw the line strictly. She hangs up the phone immediately if her daughter is rude to her = beginning of the repair phase: increase in GGT to 144 and GOT to 68, nausea, swollen liver, side pain. Findings of the sonogram: “liver metastasis.“ Thanks to her trust in God and her knowledge of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, she survives it all. (Archive B. Eybl) |
Conflict-active | Conflict–active Increase in sensibility of the bile duct mucosa, simultaneous slackening of the smooth ring musculature. Later, cell degradation (ulcer) in the gallbladder or in the bile ducts, within or outside of the liver (intra- or extrahepatic), moderate pain (side pain). Often furious, angry, aggressive. Typical for a recurring (chronic) conflict is fat and alcohol intolerance. Increased gamma-GT (most important value), GOT, GPT, AP (all or singularly, see: p.44). |
Bio. function | Through an enlargement of the gallbladder or bile ducts, the lumen increases > bile can be sent to the duodenum better and quicker (to better vent one’s anger). |
Repair phase | Restoration of the squamous epithelium of the bile ducts or gallbladder caused by increased metabolism, repair of lost substance = inflamed gallbladder, gallbladder cancer; healing swelling or inflammation of the bile ducts (cholangitis). The flow of bile can be reduced or stopped (cholestasis). If the majority of the bile ducts are affected, jaundice (icterus) ensues. Possibly a recurring–conflict. |
Repair crisis | Severe pain, chills, colic due to involvement of the bile duct muscles. |
Questions | In the case that it is recurring: Which territorial situation is upsetting? (Coworkers, boss, partner, neighbor, siblings)? Are the symptoms better on vacation (Yes > indication of a conflict in daily life, e.g., workplace). When did the complaints begin? What changed in my life at that point? (Move or new workplace, separation, new partner, etc.)? Which childhood situations does the conflict bring to mind? (Aggressive father, teacher, a fight with siblings, parents fighting)? Aggressive tendencies in the family? Which side? Does the issue have a life-lesson to teach me? How will I deal with it in the future? Which new attitude would be healing? Which old resentment or reproaches are holding me back? Which outward changes could help? |
Therapy | The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process. If recurrent: Determine and resolve the conflict, causal conditioning and beliefs. Guiding principles: “My anger lies behind me.“ “The next time I will remain calm from the beginning.“ Enzyme preparations, Schuessler Cell Salts No. 3, 4 and 9. See also: remedies for the liver. p. 269. If necessary, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, surgery. |
Jaundice (icterus)
Same SBS as above (see: p.265). The life cycle of the red-blood cells ends after about 120 days. After that, they are broken down into bilirubin in the bone marrow, spleen and liver and eliminated through the gallbladder. If the bile ducts are blocked, the concentration of bilirubin in the blood rises. If the concentration exceeds 2 mg/dl, jaundice (yellow skin) sets in.
Phase | Repair phase: healing swelling of the bile ducts with temporary occlusion > the bilirubin cannot be discarded > the level of bilirubin in the blood rises > yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, as well as a brown-coloring of the urine; the stool remains light in color for lack of bile coloring. |
---|---|
Note | However, jaundice can also come from an accelerated degradation of red–blood cells (hemolysis). This can be caused by blood transfusions, poisons, medication, heavy losses of blood (bruises, contusions, etc.) and malaria. |
Therapy | The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process, prevent recurrences. See also: remedies for the liver p. 269. |
Jaundice in newborn babies (newborn icterus, kernicterus)
Same SBS as above (see pp. 265). A large percentage of newborn babies are affected by a yellow coloring of the skin during the first two weeks of life. In CM, this is considered normal, except in severe cases. The jaundice is explained by a shortened life span (70 instead 120 days) of the red-blood cells, an immature liver and an increased reabsorption of bilirubin in the intestines of constipated newborns.
It would be interesting to know how common newborn jaundice is among indigenous peoples. If infants were not subjected to ultrasound and amniocentesis and if mother and child were not exposed to so much hectic rush and stress, newborn jaundice would certainly be less common.
The unfortunately, very–widespread ultrasound examinations pose a real risk to the embryo or fetus. The amniotic fluid is heated by the noise of the ultrasound and even forms little bubbles (cavitation). Noise = danger > fear.
Some newborns get through this excitement undamaged, but others are seized with panic and become ill.
From the viewpoint of the 5 Biological Laws of Nature, jaundice in newborns is not normal but rather the result of a territorial-anger conflict during the pregnancy and/or birth. The proof of this, as with all illnesses, can be found with a CT scan. However, in infants/toddlers a CT is not appropriate due to the radiation exposure and the need for anesthesia.
Conflict | Territorial-anger or, less often, an identity conflict (see above). |
---|---|
Examples | ➜ A difficult birth takes place. ➜ An ultrasound test disturbs the newborn in its territory. ➜ The unborn registers the nearness of the needle used for testing the amniotic fluid. At the same time he feels his mother‘s fear of a gene defect. ➜ During pregnancy, the mother bumps her belly into the edge of a table. ➜ In the womb, the child hears his parents‘ quarreling. |
Phase | Repair phase: Healing swelling of the bile ducts with temporary occlusion > increased bilirubin in the blood and yellowing of the skin. |
Therapy | The conflict is resolved. Support the healing process, prevent recurrences. The most important “treatment“ is that the child can (more or less permanently) stay with their mother, undisturbed and feels harmony and love (the love for the child, but also the love between the parents). See remedies for the liver p. 269. |
Gallstones (cholelithiasis), biliary microlithiasis, biliary colic
Same SBS as above (see pp. 265). 10-25% of adults have gallstones. They begin with a tiny condensation nucleus, around which layer after layer of additional material collects. They are made up of 98% cholesterol – the rest is calcium and bile pigment. Usually they are found in the gallbladder and remain unnoticed.
However, if a gallstone slips into a bile duct, the fun’s over > severe pain, colic due to irritation of the sensitive epithelial mucous membrane.
The blockage causes a rise in the bilirubin level (> jaundice).
In esoteric teaching, gallstones represent crystallized (not free-flowing) aggression.
Phase | Recurring–conflict: A long period of conflict activity is followed by scarred shrinkage of the bile ducts and/or gallbladder, inflammation (repair phase) indicates that there is a more or less pronounced blockage of bile flow > reduced “turnover“ of bile > thickening, formation of condensation nucleus > growth of stones. |
---|---|
Repair crisis | Colic of the gallbladder, pain in the sides, chills: the body tries to expel the stone with peristaltic contractions of the bile duct. This works to remove biliary “sludge” and small gallstones, but not larger stones. For these, a CM intervention makes sense. |
Note | Low-fat foods (“light“ products) and foods without bitter-tasting compounds promote the formation of gallstones because the body responds by producing less bile > the bile thickens > formation of stones. Comparison: A river’s sediment load is a function of its capacity = less flow > less transport. An existential or starvation conflict (see above), in persistent repair, can probably lead to gallstones because of the low production of bile. Syndrome (see p. 277) favors gall stone formation due to narrowed bile ducts. (This is most often seen in overweight people with high cholesterol levels). |
Therapy | Determine the conflict and conditioning and, if possible, resolve them in real life so that the SBS comes to an end. Questions: see: p.265. Guiding principle: “Lord, give me the strength to change what I can change, the serenity to accept what I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference“ (Niebuhr). Liver cleansing according to Moritz2. Stone dissolution by “Lithosol“ (mineral mixture, prescription). If necessary, surgery or treatments to break up or dissolve the gallstones. Beware: Gallbladders are removed too often (a nice, well–paid, beginner’s surgery). Gallstones rarely cause problems. Colic: painkilling and anticonvulsant medication. See also: remedies for the liver p. 269. |
Acute liver failure (hepatic coma, hepatic encephalopathy)
Same SBS as above (see pp. 265). The symptoms range from an increased need for sleep to unconsciousness (coma). According to CM, these symptoms indicate that the end is approaching (insufficient detoxification).
Unfortunately the repair phase crisis is not known by CM, for one would then realize that although the coma is dangerous, it is part of the repair phase. > For this reason, do not give up too early!
Phase | Repair phase crisis: A hepatic coma occurs when the gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels begin to drop. Dr. Hamer discovered that it is not only the non-functioning of the liver (ammonia and other nitrogen compounds find their way into the bloodstream) that is dangerous; the impact of the repair phase crisis on the brain is dangerous as well: a liver coma is a kind of “brain coma“ = unconsciousness due to a build-up of pressure and severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). |
---|---|
Note | The enzyme gamma-glutamyltransferase, also known as gamma-GT, is the most significant laboratory value for us with regard to the bile ducts. Values of up to 40 units per liter for women and 70 units per liter for men are considered to be normal. The critical phase begins when the gamma-GT value is already beginning to rise. At values of up to 400, the repair phase crisis normally proceeds without complications; from 400-800, it becomes problematic. At such high levels, there is almost always a syndrome (see p. 277) involved. |
Therapy | The conflict is resolved. Support the repair phase. Prevent recurrences. Resolve any refugee conflict if active (see: p.279). During the repair phase crisis, the brain is operating “at its limit“ and needs a lot of glucose > administer glucose through the mouth or with a feeding tube. Glucose infusions have the disadvantage of binding fluids in the body. Important: hospital treatments should be kind and humane because of a possible refugee conflict (syndrome, see p. 277). See also: therapy for symptoms of pressure on the brain (p. 67). See also: remedies for the liver p. 269. |
Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis)
A typical disease associated with civilization/prosperity.
Causes:
• Too much sugar: Fructose is metabolized by the liver independently of insulin and, if too much is ingested, it is converted into fat and stored in the basic tissue of the liver (parenchyma).
• Too rich/ample a diet with too little exercise > Storage of the energy surplus as fat in the liver and body.
• Too often/too much alcohol: The body interprets alcohol as a poison, so it is preferentially metabolized by the liver.
> In the presence of toxins, the liver reduces its normal activity of burning fat, synthesizing proteins, etc. and prioritizes breaking down the toxins. > Fat storage in the liver and the rest of the body, muscular malnutrition (> muscular atrophy). The liver’s “emergency mode” is also triggered by other toxins such as medicines, drugs, nicotine.
• The SBSs of the alpha and beta islet cells (p. 267, 265) and the SBSs of the liver parenchyma (p. 258) also play a role in fatty liver disease. The storage of fat in liver cells makes biological sense in times of existential need.
Therapy
Very curable disease. Marching orders: Healthy diet, sufficient exercise, avoid toxins. On the basis of symptoms and blood values, check to see which of the abovementioned SBSs may be active.
Liver cysts (PLD – polycystic liver disease)
Cysts can form in the liver‘s functional, endodermal tissue as well as in its ectodermal squamous epithelium. Both kinds of cysts can grow up to several centimeters.
Active kidney collecting tubules SBS can strengthen the effect by “pumping up“ old cavities with fluid.
- Cyst(s) in the liver parenchyma (cyst adeno-ca, solitary liver cyst): existential or starvation conflict; condition following round liver lesion ca (See liver adeno-ca p. 263).
- Cyst(s) in the bile ducts (squamous epithelium): territorial-anger conflict or identity conflict. (See section on hepatitis for examples and course of illness pp. 265). Conditions following recurrences and persistent repair: If the blockage of a bile duct is protracted, the flow of bile begins to flow backwards > bile duct proliferation and formation of cysts. The backflow can also cause the liver parenchyma to die off (CM: necrosis of the omentum).
Liver cirrhosis
Possible causes
- Bile ducts: The bile ducts, with their finely branching structure, reach just about every corner of the liver. (See: p.265.) Recurring territorial-anger conflicts lead to a scarring shrinkage of the bile ducts. The epithelium is gradually replaced by inferior connective tissue. CM: “primary biliary cirrhosis.“ The liver parenchyma also dies off, because the transportation of bile from the gallbladder is disturbed > liver cirrhosis.
- Liver Parenchyma: Recurring existential or starvation conflicts lead to an alteration or death of the liver tissue (liver parenchyma necrosis). Condition after frequent liver tuberculosis = cirrhosis of the liver; note: reduced levels of cholinesterase. (See: p.263.)
- Poisoning: There is hardly a medication that does NOT harm the liver – from hormone preparations to simple pain medicine: every chemical must be neutralized and removed by the liver. Chronic misuse of medication, drugs and alcohol damages the liver and in the end, this leads to liver cirrhosis. Dr. Hamer rightly points out that most alcoholics are members of the lower level of society and are more conflict-endangered than others. “Cancer doesn‘t come from alcohol – alcoholism and cancer come from anger and worry.“ Liver cirrhosis usually leads to high blood pressure (intrahepatic portal hypertension) and blockage of the portal veins.
Remedies for the liver
- Stop poisoning with medication, alcohol and drugs; eat only small amounts in the evening so that no alcohol arises in the intestines due to fermentation.
- Pay attention to food combinations: do not combine starches (grain, bread) with sugar; possibly follow the Hay diet.
- Cleanse the bile ducts by drinking vegetable oil as described by Moritz. (See footnote 2 on p. 267).
- Drink a lot of water in the morning for detoxification.
- MMS (see p. 68).
- Bach flowers (see p. 59): beech, chicory, gentian, gorse, willow.
- Teas: blessed milk thistle, fennel, burdock root, dandelion, agrimony, Chelidonium, centaury, yarrow, barberry, chicory, absinthe.
- Spices: turmeric, fennel, saffron, rosemary, juniper.
- Hildegard of Bingen: chestnut honey – mulberry wine special recipe, Swedish bitters.
- Segment massage on the right thoracic spine and sides, acupuncture and acupoint massage (see p. 68), foot reflex–zone massage.
- Cayce: Seven-day treatment with dehydrated castor oil – soak a 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in) cloth with dehydrated castor oil and place it on the right flank. Place a piece of plastic and a warm hot-water bottle over it. Wrap it in the blanket and let it work for one hour. Take a small dose of olive oil after that.
- Kanne Bread Drink, internally.
- Eat fresh nasturtium and black radish often.
- Hot-moist liver compress.
- Linseed oil (omega 3 fatty acid).
- If emaciated, 2 tbsp cod liver oil daily (see p. 68).
