The Ontogenetic System of Microbes (Fourth Biological Law of Nature)

Dr. Hamer discovered the Fourth Biological Law in 1987, alongside the Third Biological Law, based on his observation that microbial activity is not random, opportunistic, or causative; it is orderly, purposeful, and strictly governed by the same germ-layer logic that governs every special biological program.

Microbes Are Endemic, Not Infectious

The microbes involved in special biological programs — fungi, mycobacteria, and bacteria — are endemic to the organism. They are not external invaders. They are almost certainly encoded in the organism's own genome, likely comprising a significant portion of what is conventionally dismissed as "junk DNA." Their populations are present but dormant during the conflict-active phase, and become active only at conflictolysis, when the healing phase begins.

A microbe population can only participate in a special biological program if it was present in the organism at the moment of the DHS. This is why not all healing phases involve visible microbial activity.

Co-Evolution With the Germ Layers

The microbes co-evolved alongside the germ layers, and the "older" types of microbes are associated with the "older" germ layers:

• Fungi (such as candida) co-evolved with the oldest germ layer (the endoderm). Candida is an example of a fungi population participating in the healing phase of an endoderm germ layer conflict.
• Fungi also participate in the healing phase of certain old mesoderm programs following certain attack conflicts. Toenail fungus is an example of fungi participating in the healing phase of a "deep" attack conflict relaying to old mesoderm (cerebellum-controlled) tissue.
• Mycobacteria (such as tuberculosis mycobacteria) also co-evolved with the endoderm and participate in old mesoderm healing as well. Mycobacteria participate in the healing phase of endoderm lung programs and also in the healing phase of old mesoderm acne program, as examples.
• Bacteria co-evolved with the old mesoderm germ layer and also participate in new mesoderm healing. In old mesoderm tissues, we'll see bacterial participation in the healing phase of an attack conflict that produced a melanoma, for example. We will see bacteria involved in the healing phase of a new mesoderm program (after resolving a self-devaluation conflict), when the bacteria help to create new tissue in the formation of "soft callous," for example.

Ectoderm (cerebral cortex) tissues do not involve microbes in their healing phase.

What Microbes Do

In old-brain tissues (endoderm and old mesoderm germ layers), fungi, mycobacteria, and bacteria participate in breaking down tumour tissue during the healing phase. The excess tissue — grown during the conflict-active phase to enhance digestive function (endoderm) or protective function (old mesoderm) — is no longer needed once the biological conflict is resolved. This tissue becomes a nutrient source for the microbes, whose population expands to meet the available "food" supply. What conventional medicine diagnoses as "infection" is this process of purposeful biological decomposition. The breakdown of a melanoma, for example, typically involves bacterial activity decomposing the thickened old mesoderm tissue.

In new-brain tissues (new mesoderm germ layer), bacteria do not break down tissue; they build it. During the conflict-active phase, new mesoderm tissues undergo cell loss (porosis, atrophy, or ulceration). During the healing phase, bacteria assist in reconstructing and reinforcing the lost tissue; for example, contributing to soft callus formation in the healing of bone following a self-devaluation conflict.

Viruses

Pathogenic viruses are not observed participating in any disease process and have never been isolated or characterized as causative agents. The concept was hypothesized by Louis Pasteur long before the invention of the electron microscope or the discovery of DNA structure, and the hypothesis has not been substantiated since. What are conventionally attributed to viral infection are, in GHK, healing phases of ectodermal special biological programs. See: Viruses.
