Presented by Bio Health Works

The Biological Wisdom of German New Medicine for Practitioners

In the early 1980s, a physician made a revolutionary discovery that diseases – from a cold to cancer – are not “caught,” nor are they malfunctions or malignancies. Instead, they are significant biological programs that assist us during times of unexpected distress. Firmly anchored in our knowledge of embryology, GNM is a new biological science that reshapes our view of all symptoms and diseases. This is an introductory course to Germanic Healing Knowledge. This teaches the five biological laws of GHK that explain the cause, the development and the natural healing of diseases and how to use it effectively in daily life.

Please note; this is a pre-requisite course (Level 1) to the Practitioner Course (Level 2)
