Cold hands and feet, pallor, heightened alertness, heightened state of stimulation, and sympathetic nervous system dominance are key signs of an active biological conflict. The organism allocates resources toward vigilance rather than warmth.

Conventional medicine has long categorized illnesses into either “cold” or “hot” categories.

We now know, because of the discovery of the five biological laws of the Germanische Heilkunde, that in fact every special biological program has a “cold” phase and a “hot” phase, and therefore all disease symptoms are either part of the conflict-active phase of a special biological program or the healing phase of a special biological program. The thousands of medical diagnoses can now be understood in the context of approximately 500 special biological programs.

The medical designation of illnesses as either “cold” or “hot” illnesses facilitated the prescription of drugs:

• prescribe warming drugs for a “cold” symptom
• prescribe cooling drugs for a “hot” symptom

Even though we now know that the “cold” and “warm” diseases are actually results of either the conflict active (cold) phase or the healing (warm) phase of a special biological program, we can continue to use this strategy

• use warming (relaxing) activities, foods, substances to help calm ourselves during an active biological conflict so that we can gather enough rest and nourishment to solve our biological conflict
• use cooling (stimulating) activities, foods, and substances as hormetics during a healing phase so that we can reduce intense pain and inflammation

Aside from “cold” and “warm” disease symptoms, there are cool and warm phases to our daily rhythm. During the day, we are cooler, have less of an appetite, and are naturally more active. During the night, we are warmer, have a greater appetite, and are naturally more relaxed.

All cooling (or warming) medications, therapies, foods, and activities have their affect on the brain and nervous system, not directly on the psyche or body as conventional medicine believes. There is no such thing as a drug or therapy that “targets” particular cells or tissues in the body, or particular functions of the psyche.
