The Lower 1/3 of the Oesophagus Endoderm, controlled by the brainstem ; “old brain” survival response. Biological function: To receive and transport the “morsel” into the body.

By: Jean-Paul (JP) Damien Mathiot

In GNM terms, the lower oesophagus belongs to the alimentary canal and is linked to the primitive instinct to take in, possess, ingest, or secure the vital morsel; food, opportunity, love, inheritance, money, respect, territory, etc.

The Biological Conflict

“I’m not able or not allowed to swallow.”

“I got a taste, but it was taken away.”

“I cannot get it down — it is stuck.”

This is not about literal chewing but about symbolic ingestion, the “morsel” can be:

- A job that was offered then withdrawn

- An inheritance promised then blocked

- A person one nearly “had” but lost

- A business deal that collapsed at the final moment

- A loved one almost “brought back home,” but instead died

- A house offer accepted, then suddenly revoked.

This is the “unfinished taking-in” conflict:

- The morsel was in reach

- The person was ready to swallow it

- But the process was interrupted

Patients often clutch the lower thorax when telling the story, the body keeps the memory of the moment something couldn’t be taken in.

Conflict-Active Phase (CA Phase)

Organ reaction:

Cell proliferation (adenocarcinoma-type growth)

Biological purpose: to build more tissue so the morsel can be swallowed next time

Results:

- Tumor growth in the lower esophagus

- Stenosis (narrowed lumen); paradoxically tightening due to the tumor mass

In GNM this is interpreted as a biological reinforcement of swallowing capacity, the old-brain logic:

“If I create more cells, I will be stronger next time. I will swallow it.”

Healing Phase (PCL Phase)

Once the conflict is resolved (the morsel is either secured or fully abandoned), the body reverses the growth.

Organ reaction:

- Tumor is broken down by tuberculosis bacteria and fungi

- Ulceration, softening, and cavitation of tissue

- Strong odours, mucus, and inflammation

Symptoms:

- Bad breath (putrefaction of tumor tissue)

- Possible oesophageal varices

- Regurgitation, pain, reflux-like symptoms

With kidney collecting tubules syndrome (KCTS), excess fluid may build up in the tissue and make healing more dramatic, even dangerous.

This can lead to profuse bleeding during the Epicrisis, because the decaying tumor tissue becomes vascular and friable.

Epicrisis (Healing Peak)

This is the high-risk moment in GNM:

- Variceal bleeding possible

- Sudden gush of blood through mouth or vomiting

- Medical emergency in real-world terms

GNM calls it the biological climax of the repair phase, but in modern medicine, this is life-threatening and requires hospital care.

Biological Meaning (GNM View)

“To enlarge the inner diameter of the oesophagus so next time the morsel will not be interrupted and can be swallowed fully.”

In old-brain logic:

- Cell growth = preparing for the victory of swallowing

- Breakdown = returning to normal after resolution

Life tries again to secure the essential morsel.

Germanic New Medicine takes the fear out of everything, when you know what conflict you have experienced, you can calm down and go through the healing phase in with no worries.
