PCL A

PCL A, or Post-Conflictolysis Part A, begins immediately after the organism resolves the biological conflict in its psyche. The conflict-active phase ends, the organism leaves "lasting day," and the special biological program enters the first stage of the healing phase: "lasting night."

During PCL A, the nervous system shifts into deep parasympathetic dominance, or vagotonia. The organism is no longer fixated on the conflict content and becomes oriented toward rest, nourishment, repair, and recovery. Common signs include fatigue, warmth, increased appetite, diminished thirst, fever, inflammation, swelling, heaviness, and reduced interest in work, action, or social engagement. There is also a general sense of mental or emotional wellbeing (especially compared to the previous psychological stress due to the active biological conflict).

While a majority of psychological symptoms arise from the conflict-active phase of a special biological program, about 80% of physical illness symptoms begin in PCL A after the biological conflict is resolved.

The defining feature of PCL A is edema. Fluid gathers in the corresponding brain relay and in the affected organ or tissue as part of the repair process. The Hamer Focus, which appears sharp and defined during the conflict-active phase, becomes swollen or waterlogged in PCL A as the relay fills with fluid. At the tissue level, the specific healing activity depends on the germ layer and SBS involved: tumours begin breaking down, ulcerated or necrotic tissues begin rebuilding, and functional losses begin to reverse.

In old-brain tissues and in new mesoderm tissues, we will see microbial activity and infection as either part of tumour breakdown or tissue rebuilding, if the relevant microbes were available in the body at the time of the DHS.

The intensity of these phenomena depend on the conflict load accumulated during the conflict-active phase of the special biological program.

PCL A is often experienced as the "acute" part of illness because the body is warm, swollen, inflamed, tired, and sometimes painful. PCL A symptoms are positive indicators that the biological conflict has resolved in the psyche and that the organism is now in active repair.

PCL A continues until the epi-crisis. The epi-crisis is the brief, intense replay of the biological conflict in the psyche, brain, and organ, and its purpose is to squeeze edema from the brain relay and begin turning the organism back toward normotonia. After the epi-crisis, the SBS enters PCL B, the scarring and consolidation phase.
