Hamer Focus (Hamerscher Herd, HH)
A Hamer focus is a sphere of electrochemical activity — it looks like a "target ring" or bull's eye in crossection — visible on a computed tomography (CT) scan, in the brain relay and often also in its corresponding organ, during a special biological program.
A Hamer focus is a localized, spherical zone of electrochemical activity that appears in synchrony in the brain relay and in the organ or tissue that relay controls, corresponding to a biological conflict held in the psyche.
The brain-CT rings are the classic diagnostic marker (the "Hamerscher Herd"), but the same "heightened activity" registers across all three levels: psyche, brain, and organ.
The Hamer Focus appears instantaneously at the moment of the DHS when the biological conflict forms in the psyche. It marks the brain relay corresponding to the conflict content.
During conflict activity, the Hamer focus is sharp and defined, looking like a "bulls-eye" or "target ring" formation (similar to the concentric circles that form on the surface of still water when a pebble is dropped into it). A Hamer focus corresponds to a concurrent increase in nervous-system activity at that location in the brain, and a simultaneous parallel tissue or functional change in the associated organ.
In the healing phase (after resolution of the biological conflict), the rings of the Hamer focus become thicker, and the area inside the Hamer focus can become black with edema. At the epi-crisis, intersecting lines become visible, looking similar to the spokes of a bicycle wheel. In PCL B, the Hamer rings, lines, and centre of the Hamer focus become white as the original brain tissue is replaced with glia cells.
A Hamer focus is detectable on CT imaging of the brain or the corresponding organ as a localized feature that can be distinguished from surrounding areas. A Hamer focus is locatable at a specific site in the brain and organ and persists between layers of the CT scan and between CT scans taken at different times.
In all life forms with a nervous system, the special biological program runs through that nervous system. Germanische Heilkunde practitioners depend on CT scans – especially of the brain – to understand the special biological programs of those, like animals and young children, who can't explain their thoughts and feelings.
Interestingly, a similar "target ring" pattern can even be seen in plants, such as visible changes on leaves after frost — a reflection of the same principle: meaningful biological adaptation, the mechanism of evolution, operates irrespective of species, phylum, or even kingdom.
Note: Hamer foci are visible spheres of electrochemical activity in the brain and the corresponding organ, resulting from nervous-system changes originating in the psyche. They are not causes of biological conflicts or special biological programs.
