In this chapter we will make an overview, though much faster, of other even so important observations to complete the practical approach of every pathology.

HORMONAL STATUS: the biological differences between man and woman also have repercussions on the triad psychism-brain-organs. From a psychic point of view, it means a different "sensitivity" for a lot of conflicts and essentially territory conflicts putting a mark in the cerebral hemispheres. From the animal reign on – where a lot of parallels with the human being can be found and from which a lot of instructions and lessons can be drawn – male and female sign and live their territory in their own way. Concretely, a woman (right-handed, heterosexual and at her first conflict, cf. following §) will aim at her left hemisphere, while a man (in similar conditions) will aim at the right hemisphere. Now, it is for example the left hemisphere that manages the larynx, the thyroid, the largest part of the rectum, the right halve of the heart; hence the much higher incidence of those pathologies in women. While man will more frequently present bronchial, gastric, vesicular affections or infarctions of the left halve of the heart, all those organs being dependent upon the right hemisphere. Beyond the anatomical realities, one may speak of hormonal status (what Dr. Hamer calls hormonal "pat") because it is, in fact, the balance between the sexual polarities that will be determining. As such, a woman, homosexual, menopaused or treated with hormones will very often have a male cerebral – and consequently organic – reaction; idem for a man in identical conditions.

RIGHT-HANDED – LEFT-HANDED POLARITY (LATERALITY). Left-handed persons, men as well as women, will develop cerebral and organic disturbances corresponding to "the other side"; for the conflicts and the cerebral zones linked with the hemisphere, the cerebral marrow and with the cerebellum. Hence the presence of, theoretically, male pathologies with the left-handed women and of, theoretically, female pathologies with the left-handed men. Hence too an inversion of the affected side of the body : the left-handed women will develop a cancer of the right breast while the right-handed women will develop a cancer of the left breast and vice versa. This laterality combines with the hormonal status: whereas a left-handed homosexual will be affected by laryngitis, a left-handed homosexual will aim at his right hemisphere and develop a bronchitis (as would a right-handed heterosexual). The anatomical evidence is, of course, not questioned but these status and polarity criteria have important consequences. Let us take for sole example a left-handed or heterosexual woman having a sexual territory conflict: despite the psychic and behavioural disturbances, she will not cease menstruation nor will she have lesions of the uterine cervix; she will, however, present affections related with the right hemisphere, i.e. especially the coronary arteries (and certainly not the seminal vesicles … she does not possess!).

CHRONOLOGY OF CONFLICTS is a third parameter ruling the relation between what is deeply felt and a cerebral centre situated in an hemisphere (this rule is yet not valid for the cerebellum). The first conflict will aim at the hemisphere defined by hormonal status and polarity. As long as it is active, however, it "blocks", as it were, this hemisphere and, if a second conflict appears, the latter will disturb the other hemisphere. This third parameter combining the two first ones, one can easily seize the complexity of a thorough anamnesis of a man presenting with different affections.

EPILEPTOID CRISIS. If second phase vagotonia did not lessen at a certain point, it would plunge the individual into a progressive lethargic state, fatal to him in case of a major conflict. This is the moment to precise that this second phase, in turn, splits up in two parts: the first one is inflammatory and the restoring takes place in a liquid environment (making up three quarters of our organism and where life develops!), while the second one is cicatrisation seeing the elimination of the aqueous surplus. The passage from one subclass to the other corresponds to the inversion of the vagotonic curve bending now towards the neurovegetative balance from before the start of the complete disease. But it also corresponds to the maximum cerebral oedema and to a "jump" of the nervous system towards orthosympatheticotonia: this is the moment of the epileptoid crisis, the extent of which is always proportional to the cerebral oedema and, consequently, to the extent of the conflict. Its potential severity is linked to the fact that it determines the temporary functional disorders within the organ depending on the centre, and varying according to its localisation. A typical example is the cardiac infarction … that may pass unnoticed or be fatal. What is called an epilepsy crisis is only one particular form of this epileptoid crisis when it concerns the peri-rolandic cortical zone managing sensitivity and body motricity. There would be much to say about this crisis, but what the reader should know is that this "forced complication" of the recuperation phase is a critical passage and even one of the most frequent causes of decease when the conflict has been very important.

COMPREHENSION OF THE BIOLOGICAL SENSE of the symptoms is in fact the fifth biological law. The iron law of cancer already gave a historical human sense to disease by chronologically linking it to the past experience of the individual. This fifth law tries to understand the cellular meaning of the "pathologies" by potentialities written in nature over millions of years. These pathologies are in fact particular coded programmes genetically engraved in the brain; programmes being rescue systems withheld by nature as a "second chance" in case of a vital conflict. In other words the body itself will condition management of what our mental could not manage during DHS according to a far-away phylogenetically rooted process; and this as well after DHS as after the solution of the conflict. But if the modifications entailed by these programmes have a sense, their extent inevitably has a material limit for our organism; hence the necessity to solve a conflict as fast as possible when it is important … and to see the "civilised" man, one day, live more according to his genetic codes of functioning. We will take three examples to illustrate this new dimension in the study of diseases.

What would happen if you always walked barefooted in all circumstances? Our foot soles would thicken in callosities, corn, etc… in order to adapt to the aggressions of the soil; as does a karateka who voluntarily hardens his extremities to be able to break the plank, rather than his limbs. That is exactly what is happening if "symbolically", of course, one experiences a feeling of attack of one’s integrity: proliferation of the tissue in a conflictual phase. Hence juvenile acne, cheloids, … and melanomas. Or else the peritoneum tumour (internal skin of the abdomen) after the shock experienced when the finger of the surgeon pointed to the terrible colon or liver cancer on the X-ray photography. Within this kind of tissue spread over the whole body , the localisation indicates the impact of the arrow: "the insult in the face", "the spoke in one’s wheels" or "being tripped up", "being stabbed in the back"… and the situation of the peritoneum tumour at the right side of the stomach even if the abdominal tumour is situated at the left side when the patient, at the precise moment of DHS, did not realise that the X-ray photography on the negatoscope inverted senses!

When an animal has a bone splinter blocked within its bowels, its life is endangered. Its only chance is to have its intestinal coat proliferate at the blocking site; to increase its resistance and its secretion in order to evacuate the splinter. So, an indigestible conflict affecting the intestine follows the first concrete case. Afterwards, this proliferation, having become needless, is cleared away by the microbes punctual to the appointment arranged by nature. But it is the resulting glaireous and sanguinolent diarrhoea that will be considered as the intestinal disease!

The ringleader has spotted the rival and gets into the ring, well decided to remain the master: conflict of having to fight to protect his territory. The process obeys to the second concrete case: ulceration of the coronaries in the conflictual phase. Let us "understand" the deep biological sense of this modification: those vessels enlarged by the ulceration can bring more blood to the heart that will be more urged upon, in function of the succeeding rounds. But a match is limited in time and in nature you either win or die. The human being proceeds in the same way when he is fighting for his territory and, if he did not reach the point of no return, after the conflict is solved, cholesterol will take in charge the vital reparation of the vessels in order to avoid their fissuration, dilation (aneurysm) or the fatal breaking with consecutive haemorrhage. Are we still astonished to learn that autopsy of the "young Vietnam boys" revealed a cardiovascular system comparable to that of 60 or 70 year old individuals? The battles fought over there were not only the harmonious blooming of military and political convictions … in the deep intimacy of those men’s psychism!
