The Medicine of Freedom: What No One Dares to Say

Coin, Spain, December 21, 2006

1) Family striptease (family constellation) is not part of GERMANIC NEW MEDICINE®.

When Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer speaks of “family striptease,” he is referring in a critical and dismissive way to certain group therapeutic practices in which a person publicly exposes intimate aspects of their family or emotional life.

2) Any other methods, be it statistical data collection, so-called mental training, so-called councelling, mind- or brainstorming according to Ziontology, to make the patients dependent, are not used in GNM either.

3) Any kind of hypnosis in which the patient is practically the object is fundamentally rejected in the GNM. 4) Psychiatric quick-fix techniques should also be rejected on principle. The GNM understands itself strictly as the medicine of freedom; specifically the freedom of the patient. The highest priority is the gentle treatment of the patient who puts his trust in the physician. The physician (therapist) is fundamentally obliged not to dominate or control the patient, as has been the practice in academic medicine up to now. Instead, patient and doctor should meet as friends in complete freedom and on an equal footing. In this context, any breach of trust is basically a breach of physician-patient confidentiality. Only then is it possible to truly respect the dignity of both the patient and the physician. It goes without saying that such a high ethical conduct and relationship is only possible in a true constitutional state. Dr. med. Mag. theol. Ryke Geerd Hamer
