The 5 Biological Laws: A New Look at the Meaning of Illnes
There’s a moment, often sudden, when everything changes. A pain that pierces us. A diagnosis that shakes us. A symptom that forces us to stop. And while life continues outside, something inside breaks… or perhaps, opens up.
That’s when the question arises:
“What if illness isn’t a mistake? What if, instead, it’s an intelligent response from the body to our life story?”
The 5 Biological Laws offer us a new way of seeing, listening, and understanding. This isn’t a therapy, nor is it a healing system in the traditional sense. Instead, they are a map, a key to reading the biological language our body uses when we can no longer communicate with life.
Let’s discover them together, with the respect and wonder they deserve.
Each Symptom Stems from a Biological Conflict (First Law)
Imagine a single instant. Just one. An event that strikes you unexpectedly, without warning, leaving you speechless. It could be a loss, a separation, an injustice, a humiliation, a sudden fear. That moment is called a DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome), and it marks the beginning of a process.
Your biological system, which is neither stupid nor random, activates to protect you. The brain registers the impact. The organ reacts. The psyche enters a state of alert. Everything happens in unison.
Every symptom has an emotional root, experienced in a biological way. This isn’t about “negative thoughts” or “repressed emotions,” but about experiences lived intensely, in solitude, without an immediate solution. Illness, then, isn’t the problem. It’s the body’s attempt to find a solution.
Every Biological Process Has Two Phases (Second Law)
Just as day follows night, every “illness” develops in two phases: an active phase (while the conflict is ongoing) and a repair phase (after its resolution).
During the active phase, the body adapts. It strengthens, consumes, and modifies its tissues depending on the type of conflict. This is a time of tension, alertness, and hyper-vigilance.
Then, when the conflict resolves—perhaps with an embrace, a change, or an insight—the healing phase begins. Here, the most obvious symptoms often appear: fever, inflammation, pain, fatigue. But these aren’t signs of worsening; they are signs that the body is finally repairing itself.
There’s also an intermediate phase, a kind of crisis, which can manifest intensely: it’s the body’s final effort to complete the healing. Understanding this dynamic radically changes our relationship with health. It’s no longer about “eliminating symptoms,” but about consciously accompanying the natural process that is already underway.
Every Tissue Speaks Its Own Language (Third Law)
Our body isn’t a random collection of organs. It’s a symphony of structures deeply connected to our evolution. The Third Biological Law shows us that every organ reacts based on its embryonic origin. In other words, how a tissue becomes ill or repairs itself depends on how it formed in the womb.
There are three main families of tissues:
- Endoderm: The most ancient tissues, linked to survival (lungs, intestines, liver). In the active phase, these tissues often grow to adapt. In the healing phase, they are broken down with the help of microbes.
- Mesoderm: Tissues related to movement, structure, and strength (bones, muscles, cartilage). Here we find conflicts of self-devaluation, blows to identity, and dignity.
- Ectoderm: The most recently evolved tissues, related to contact and relationships (skin, mucous membranes, urinary tract). In the active phase, they ulcerate or shrink. During healing, they rebuild, causing inflammation or discomfort.
This map allows us to read every symptom as a clear and consistent message—never random, always perfectly aligned with what we have experienced.
Microbes Are Our Allies (Fourth Law)
For centuries, we have fought microbes as enemies. Yet, our body has always hosted them, in a silent and profound alliance. According to the Fourth Biological Law, microbes are not the cause of diseases, but precious tools that the body uses during the healing phase.
Fungi and mycobacteria help eliminate what is no longer needed, such as masses or excess tissues that grew during the active phase. Bacteria collaborate to rebuild what has been damaged, such as mucous membranes or skin after a conflict of separation. Viruses, still shrouded in mystery, seem to act as messengers of restructuring—possibly carrying new biological instructions or signals.
They don’t appear randomly or come first: they are activated by our central nervous system at the exact moment repair begins. This understanding leads us to a new relationship with flu-like symptoms, fevers, and inflammations: no longer signs of invasion, but signs of a body lovingly working to heal.
Nothing Is Meaningless: Nature Doesn’t Make Mistakes (Fifth Law)
And here we arrive at the quintessence. The Fifth Biological Law is perhaps the most illuminating—the one that encompasses all the others like a welcoming womb. It tells us that every biological process has a deep meaning, even when it’s painful. Even when we don’t understand it right away.
Nature does nothing by chance. The body doesn’t make mistakes. Every cell, every symptom, every transformation responds to a sensible biological program, designed to help us adapt to what we are experiencing.
This law doesn’t ask us to believe. It asks us to observe. To recognize patterns, coincidences, repeated signals. And with time, with listening, we begin to see with new eyes.
Illness then becomes a phase of the life process. A language. A request. An opportunity for understanding. And healing is no longer just “absence of symptoms,” but a deep presence within oneself.
The 5 Biological Laws are not a technique to apply, but a lens through which to view life. They invite you to stop, to listen to your body with respect, to trust that ancient beat that has always resided within you. They help you move from fear to presence, from struggle to understanding, from control to trust.
And perhaps, from today, when you feel a symptom, you won’t immediately rush to suppress it. Maybe you’ll pause for a moment. You’ll caress it with your gaze and, with a smile, murmur:
“What are you trying to tell me?”
