History
Germanic Medicine was developed by Ryke Geerd Hamer, a German ex-medical doctor whose license was revoked for malpractice in 1986. Hamer's theories do not conform to conventional medical understanding and have been widely criticized.
Principles
The principles of Germanic Medicine are based on Hamer's "Five Biological Laws", which he claims are applicable to all diseases. These laws include the Disease Theory, the Conflict Theory, the Two-Phase Theory, the Ontogenetic System of Tumors and Cancer Equivalent Diseases, and the Quintessence.
Criticism and Controversy
Germanic Medicine has been widely criticized by the medical community for its lack of scientific evidence and potential harm to patients. It is considered a form of Pseudoscience and is not recognized by any established medical or scientific organizations.
