Fungating Breast Cancer — A GNM Perspective Understanding the Biological Meaning Behind “Fungating” Breast Cancer (Melanoma of the Breast)

By: Jean-Paul (JP) Damien Mathiot (Germanic New Medicine Clinician)

I have come across three variety of breast cancers which I will describe below.

Before we dive into this, it’s important to remember something very fundamental:

Breasts are for nurturing and nourishing.

Every biological process that unfolds in the breast area carries that inherent theme — care, connection, and protection.

The Most Common Breast Cancers and Their Biological Meaning

From a GNM standpoint, the biological laws reveal the deeper meaning behind what we call disease. Each so-called “disease” is not a mistake or malfunction of the body, but a meaningful adaptation to an emotional shock or conflict — a biological program with a purpose.

1. Intraductal Breast Cancer (Ectodermal Layer)

This is the most common type of breast cancer, making up around 70–80% of diagnosed cases.

It originates in the milk ducts, and it relates to a separation conflict — such as wanting to separate from someone, or being forcefully separated from a loved one.

Conflict-active phase: Ulceration occurs in the ducts to help drain the milk that is no longer needed; a biological expression of the emotional separation.

Healing phase: The ulcerations are repaired, which is when the swelling or lump may appear, and this is what is often diagnosed as intraductal breast cancer.

2. Lobular or Glandular Breast Cancer (Old Mesoderm Layer)

This type makes up about 5–10% of breast cancers.

It is related to a nest-worry conflict or a rift in a relationship; especially when a woman feels concern for someone in her “nest” or wishes to mend a broken bond.

Conflict-active phase: There is growth in the glandular tissue; the body produces more milk cells to symbolically nurture or protect the loved one.

Healing phase: When the conflict is resolved, the tumour breaks down. If tuberculosis mycobacteria are present, they help decompose the growth. If not, the tumour encapsulates harmlessly.

How Fear Creates Additional Conflicts

Regardless of which breast cancer a woman is diagnosed with, one of the most damaging forces she encounters is fear.

Traditional medicine, often unintentionally, has created an atmosphere of terror around the word “cancer.” Many women, upon hearing this diagnosis or even discovering a lump, experience overwhelming panic. Some try to avoid the conventional route and turn instead to alternative therapies; often without truly understanding why or what they are treating. When healing does not seem to progress as expected, doubt and fear can set in again.

This fear itself, the feeling of being unprotected or uncertain; can trigger a new biological conflict in the corium skin, which is the layer of skin responsible for protection.

In GNM, this manifests as melanoma, the body’s way of strengthening the skin barrier to increase protection.

The Cycle of Fear and Healing: When a Melanoma Becomes “Fungating”

When the individual resolves the unprotectedness conflict, fungi become active to break down the melanoma, this is the healing phase.

At this point, the melanoma begins to decompose, and this external manifestation is what conventional medicine calls a “fungating” breast cancer.

Unfortunately, this appearance often causes even more fear, shock, or disgust, leading the person to think, “Something is terribly wrong with my body.”

This triggers yet another conflict: a self-devaluation related to the affected area (the breast), which can then lead to changes in the lymph nodes, bones, or spine. In conventional terms, this is described as “metastasis.”

However, in GNM, metastases do not exist; each new manifestation is the biological response to a new emotional shock.

For example:

Lung cancer: can arise from the fear of dying after hearing the diagnosis or prognosis.

Lymph or bone cancers: stem from self-devaluation conflicts (“My body is broken,” “I am weak”, "There is something wrong with this part of my body" i.e. the breast cancer).

Liver cancer: can occur when a person feels a starvation or survival conflict; such as financial stress from being unable to work while undergoing costly treatments.

Breaking the Vicious Cycle

Melanoma of the breast, as a manifestation of the corium skin, carries the biological theme of protection.

The more one fixates on the melanoma; worrying, analyzing, or fearing it, the more the body feels “unprotected,” and the biological program continues.

It becomes a vicious cycle of conflict and healing, fear and doubt.

Breast cancers, in general, are among the most challenging conditions to navigate, even for those trained in GNM.

Imagine, then, how overwhelming it can be for a woman facing this alone.

Guidance and Support Through GNM

For women navigating breast cancer, I strongly recommend seeking guidance from a qualified GNM Practitioner, ideally a GNM Clinician trained at the GNM Institute by Ilsedora Laker.

Practitioners trained through the Institute undergo rigorous education and clinical training especially in the 'Continued Education Units' program, particularly in understanding and working with the biological programs underlying breast cancers.

From Fear to Understanding; A New Way of Living

The truth is this:

When we truly understand Germanic New Medicine and make it our way of life, we begin to see that the body is never betraying us.

It is always responding meaningfully to our lived experiences, to our perceptions, shocks, and emotions.

When we know this, fear loses its power.

We no longer live in constant dread of disease or death.

We live instead with trust; trust in the intelligence of our biology, the wisdom of nature, and the deep truth that healing is a natural, conscious process of life itself.
