When there is a biological conflict in the psyche related to separation, fight-flight-freeze, or territory (masculine) and belonging (feminine), the special biological program is handled by the cerebral cortex. For most cerebral cortex programs, tissues in the respective area of the body will show cell loss (a breakdown of tissue, ulceration,  necrotization, etc). The tissue will rebuild, usually with inflammation, in the healing phase.

However, there are some special biological programs relayed from the cerebral cortex that do not produce ulcers during the active phase. Instead, there is purposeful functional impairment.

Examples include:

• thalamus conflict
• diabetes or hypoglycemia
• motor paralysis, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and other motor programs (including Bell’s palsy)
• bronchial and laryngeal asthma
• reduced ability to smell, hear, see (vision impairment from the retina)
• vertigo
• glaucoma (turbidity of the vitreous body of the eye)
• rheumatic pain – severe stinging, radiating pain of the periosteum

In these special biological programs, the functional changes in the active phase of the special biological program help the individual to prepare for a confrontation, to flee, to be particularly alert to danger, or to “tune out” stimulation in order to stop the overwhelm of an intolerable sound, sight, or smell, etc. In functional loss of vertigo and paralysis, the biological purpose is the “play-dead” reflex: keeping still, going slack, etc in order to hopefully make the predator forget about you.

The functional loss is always an adaptive response to conflict content. Function returns during the healing phase.

Note: in any special biological program, irrespective of whether it is old-brain or new brain or has cell proliferation, cell loss, or functional loss during the active-conflict phase, there is always cell loss in the relevant brain relay (Hamer focus) during the active phase. This brain tissue is replaced with glia in the healing phase.
