Guidelines for Becoming a GNM/GHK Practitioner

Here are comprehensive guidelines for individuals considering a career in GNM/GHK, tailored for both those with and without prior therapy qualifications.

Understanding German New Medicine Philosophy and Practice:

Five Biological Laws: GNM is based on five biological laws which claim to explain the origin, development, and healing of diseases. These include the Iron Rule of Cancer, the two phases of all diseases, the ontogenetic system of tumours, the ontogenetic system of microbes, and the special purposeful programs of nature.

Conflict Resolution: Central to GNM is the idea that resolving the underlying conflict leads to healing, and that the body can heal itself in the right physical and mental conditions. Practitioners focus on helping clients identify these conflicts through detailed consultations, offering guidance through education and coaching as to supporting the natural process.

For Those Without Existing Therapy Qualifications

Educational Path:

Self-Study: Start by immersing yourself in the literature by Dr. Hamer and his followers. Websites like “DanielleMBryant.com” and others offer insights into the practice in Layman’s Terms, focusing on the concepts of the Biological Laws to provide a good foundation.

Workshops and Seminars: Look for GNM workshops or seminars. These are often conducted by established practitioners or organisations dedicated to spreading GNM knowledge, such as BLNA. They can range from basic introductions to more advanced sessions.

Online Courses: Platforms like “LearningGNM.com” by Caroline Markolin provide ongoing educational resources, which is a valuable reframe website for practitioners and share a deeper scientific understanding.

Practical Experience:

Volunteering or Observing: Gain practical experience by volunteering or observing in practices that utilise GNM principles. If there are none in your area, you could contact someone who takes online clients and ask if you are able to observe their online sessions, with the agreement of their client. This can provide real-world insight into applying theoretical knowledge.

Certification:

Since GNM isn’t formally recognised in many places, there isn’t a standardized certification. However, you can build credibility by:

  • Completing courses from recognized GNM educators.
  • Establishing a mentorship with an experienced practitioner. This may involve 1-2-1 learning and discussions along with observation of sessions as mentioned above.

Legal Considerations:

Understand that practicing without qualification and/or insurance can be illegal. Look into the regulations in your country or region regarding alternative medicine practices. The BLNA operates as a Private Member’s Association within the UK and it is your responsibility to check the PMA model is valid and accepted under your country’s law.

We advise you to obtain therapists insurance as well as practising under the PMA. This covers all angles of there are any issues you may face. We therefore advise obtaining a therapy qualification that allows you to obtain insurance as a practitioner.

Therapies such as counselling, life coaching, NLP, EFT, Hypnotherapy, etc all provide very useful tools for using when working with therapists, though you may need to alter the therapy a little to be in full alignment with the Biological Laws. Other more physical therapies such as Reiki, Kinesiology, Homeopathy are also very useful to integrate with GNM knowledge.

A great range of easy to access and financially viable online practitioner courses can be found at the Centre of Excellence, link HERE

Those With Existing Therapy Qualifications

Leveraging Your Background:

Integrative Approach: If you are already a therapist (e.g., psychologist, counselor, kinesiologist), you can integrate GNM into your existing practice. This will provide a unique therapeutic approach, focusing on both psychological and physiological healing. The Biological Laws will supercharge your therapy and set you out from the rest. The BLNA provides protection for you and your clients alongside your therapy insurance, providing you follow our code of conduct and constitution.

Further Education:

Specialised Training: Attend GNM-specific training that can complement your existing knowledge. We plan to provide courses on different useful aspects of practising with the Biological Laws including how therapies can be adapted to follow the Laws. This will not only deepen your understanding but also help in applying GNM principles effectively in clinical settings.

Mentorship: You could consider a mentorship such as explained above by an established practitioner who has already integrated their therapy with GNM.

Peer Networking: Connect with other professionals in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and join GNM- related groups to share ideas and hi m gain support from peers.

Certification and Recognition:

Professional Development: While formal certification in GNM might not exist, continuing education credits in CAM or related fields can be beneficial for your professional standing. BLNA are seeking to verify our courses when we become more established, such as CPD points.

Legal and Ethical Practice: Ensure that you practice within the legal frameworks of your therapy and join BLNA to legally incorporate GNM methods. This will additionally reassure your clients that you adhere to the code of conduct.

General Advice for All Aspirants:

Ethical Practice:

Client Safety: Always prioritise patient safety, ensuring they are fully informed about the alternative nature of GNM and the potential need for conventional medical intervention when necessary.

Complementary Use: when clients choose conventional treatment, view GNM as a complementary approach rather than a replacement for their choice, informing them but allowing them to make that choice.

Community Engagement:

Educational Outreach: Engage with communities through conferences, talks, workshops, or online content to educate people about GNM, fostering an environment of informed choice in healthcare.
The BLNA plan to run annual conferences and AGMs for members.

Continuous Learning:

Stay Updated: The field of alternative medicine evolves. Engage with new research, attend conferences, and keep learning.

Building a Practice:

Networking: Join or form groups with other practitioners and GNM enthusiasts and students and engage in offering guidance when questions are posted. This can lead to referrals and collaborative opportunities.

Marketing: Consider how you will market your services. Being clear about the philosophy and benefits of GNM while respecting the limits of what can be claimed legally is crucial. Anything in the public realm is subject to public law, such as the front page of websites. You need provide clear disclaimers in the terms of browsing your website or social media, clearly stating your membership with the BLNA and their agreeable to these terms. Wording is provided to members.

Becoming a German New Medicine practitioner involves a commitment to both learning the philosophy and pragmatically applying it within the bounds of legal and ethical practice. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking to expand your therapeutic toolkit, the journey involves education, networking, and a balanced approach to client care. Remember, the integration of GNM should be done with an eye towards client welfare, ensuring that all practices are conducted with integrity and respect for conventional medical needs when necessary.
