Diving into Germanic New Medicine (GNM) can feel like learning a whole new language. The forums and videos are filled with strange acronyms and phrases. If you're curious but confused, here’s a quick cheat sheet to the most common terms you’ll encounter.

DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome): This is the big one. It’s the moment everything starts—an extremely sudden, dramatic, and isolating emotional shock that catches you completely off guard. It’s the "conflict shock" that kicks off a biological program.

Biological Conflict: This isn’t a psychological problem. It’s the specific type of emotional shock (e.g., a "territorial anger," a "separation," or a "fear of death") that determines exactly which organ and part of the brain will be affected.

SBS (Special Biological Program): This is GNM's core concept. It’s the term for what medicine calls a "disease." It’s the entire, purposeful process that runs from the shock (DHS) through the conflict-active phase and into the healing phase. The body isn’t malfunctioning; it’s running a special, intelligent program.

Conflict-Active Phase: The stressful period _after_ the DHS, where you’re emotionally fixated on the problem. You might feel cold, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping, but you may not have major “sickness” symptoms yet.

Healing Phase (PCL): The phase that begins the instant the emotional conflict is resolved. This is when classic symptoms like fever, inflammation, fatigue, and pain appear. This is seen as the body repairing itself.

Track (or Rail): This explains recurrences. If a new situation reminds you of the original DHS (a similar smell, sound, or comment), it can "trigger the track" and reactivate the whole biological program, causing a relapse.
