Metastasis Through Two Lenses: Conventional Medicine vs. Germanic Healing Knowledge

How Two Different Frameworks Explain the Spread of Cancer

Few concepts create more fear in modern oncology than metastasis—the idea that cancer cells break away from a primary tumor, travel through the body, and create new tumors in distant organs. In the conventional medical model, metastasis is viewed as evidence of a cancer becoming more aggressive, dangerous, and difficult to treat.

Germanic Healing Knowledge (GHK) offers a completely different explanation—one that removes the fear narrative and instead reframes the body’s behavior as meaningful, adaptive, and biologically coherent.

This post explores both perspectives, why they differ, and how understanding the GHK viewpoint can transform how we interpret multiple findings on scans.

The Conventional Medical View: How Metastasis Is Believed to Work

In mainstream oncology, metastasis follows this sequence:

1. Mutated cells grow in a primary tumor

Cancer is viewed as cells that have undergone genetic mutations and now replicate uncontrollably.

2. These cells break away

As the tumor grows, some cells are believed to detach and enter:

• the bloodstream

• the lymphatic system

• nearby tissues

3. Traveling cells lodge in new organs

Once in circulation, the theory holds that cancer cells can:

• attach to vessel walls

• invade new tissue

• begin growing again in that location

This is how conventional medicine explains:

• lung tumors after breast cancer

• liver lesions after colon cancer

• bone tumors after prostate cancer

4. Each new tumor is believed to be genetically identical to the original

Lung metastasis coming from breast cancer is still labeled “breast cancer,” not lung cancer, because the cells resemble the breast tissue genetically.

The emotional impact

Because metastasis implies “the cancer is spreading,” it often intensifies patient fear, which can create additional physiological stress responses.

This explanation is deeply ingrained in modern medicine—but it is not the only lens.

The GHK Perspective: Why “Metastasis” Does Not Exist as Described

Germanic Healing Knowledge views the body as biologically logical and purpose-driven.
From this perspective:

No cell leaves its organ, travels through the body, and implants somewhere else.

Instead, what conventional medicine calls “metastasis” is understood as:

1. Multiple biological programs active at the same time

Each program is initiated by a unique conflict shock (DHS) with its own meaning.

For example:

• a woman with a breast separation conflict may later experience a fear-of-death conflict and initiate a lung program

• someone with colon cancer (indigestible anger) may also suffer a self-devaluation conflict, initiating a bone program

• a man with prostate cancer may develop a kidney collecting tubule program after a frightening diagnosis or separation from family

From the GHK lens, every tissue change has its own conflict origin, not a cellular invasion.

2. The lung, liver, brain, bones, or lymph nodes each respond to different emotional conflicts

Common examples:

• Lungs: fear of death, territorial fear

• Liver: fear of starvation, loss of resource

• Bones: self-devaluation, feeling “not good enough”

• Lymph nodes: resolving a territorial or self-devaluation conflict

• Kidney collecting tubules (KCT): abandonment, existence fear, diagnosis shock

These can all be activated during the emotional upheaval following a cancer diagnosis.

So what appears as “metastatic spread” is actually multiple parallel adaptations initiated by new emotional conflicts—often fueled by fear.

3. The shock of the diagnosis itself can initiate new programs

This is one of the most important distinctions in GHK.

A frightening diagnosis—especially one involving the word metastasis—can cause:

• fear of death → lung program

• feeling “my life is over” → KCT program

• self-devaluation → bone or muscle program

• loss of identity → skin or endocrine programs

Conventional medicine would interpret these as “secondary cancers.”
GHK sees them as new conflicts triggered by fear, trauma, or hopelessness.

4. Tumors in different organs reflect different embryological tissues

In GHK, tissue types behave differently:

• endodermal tissues grow during conflict-active phase

• ectodermal tissues ulcerate during conflict and rebuild during healing

• mesodermal tissues either build or break down depending on subtype

This is why tumors from different organs are not biologically equivalent.
Each has its own logic, its own meaning, and its own timing.

You don’t get a “breast cell in the lung.”
You get a lung biological program activated by a lung conflict theme.

Why the Two Views Cannot Both Be True

From the GHK perspective, several issues become apparent with the metastasis theory:

1. No imaging or biopsy has ever captured a cancer cell leaving a tumor and implanting elsewhere.

2. Tumors appear in specific organs that match emotional conflicts—not random distribution.

3. Secondary tumors behave according to the rules of their own tissue type, not the tissue of the original cancer.

4. Many so-called metastases appear immediately after diagnosis or medical interventions—times of extreme emotional shock.

5. The brain relays on CT scans correspond to the specific organ’s conflict—not to cell movement.

The biology follows the psyche-brain-organ sequence—not cellular migration.

What This Means for People Navigating Cancer

Understanding this framework can dramatically shift the emotional landscape.

Instead of: “The cancer is spreading.”

It becomes:
“I may have additional emotional conflicts active. What are they?”

Instead of: “My body is attacking me.”

It becomes:
“My body is expressing layers of overwhelm, loss, fear, or self-devaluation—and each has a meaning.”

Instead of: “There’s no hope.”

It becomes:
“My biology is logical, responsive, and operating with purpose.”

This perspective restores agency and reduces the extreme fear that often fuels additional biological programs.

Reframing Metastasis: A More Meaningful Interpretation

From the GHK standpoint:

• each tumor is its own biological program

• each biological program begins with its own emotional conflict

• what appears to be spread is actually a cluster of conflicts

• diagnosis shock, fear, and panic can initiate new programs

• healing becomes possible when conflicts are resolved and tracks identified

The body is not malfunctioning.
It is adapting to emotional realities.

A Final Thought

The conventional model views metastasis as cancer becoming more dangerous. The GHK model views “metastasis” as the psyche expressing multiple unresolved shocks or fears.

Two interpretations. Two frameworks. Two ways of understanding the body’s intelligence.

But one truth remains constant: The body is always responding with meaning. It is never working against us.
