Due to the fact that its principles are incompatible with the findings of modern evidence-based medicine, the GNM has never been accepted and is widely ignored by the scientific and academic medical community. Hamer spreads his ideas in his books, published by his own publishing company ''Amici di Dirk'', via many different private web pages on the internet and through publications by a number of followers and associations that support his doctrines.

According to Hamer, every disease of either man, animal or plant is the result of an earlier - not well-defined - ''biological conflict'', obeying to no more than five so-called ''biological laws of nature'' which he claims to have found, but which no scientist has been able to confirm as yet. In addition to this, Hamer states that only the effects of radiation and injuries are not the result of a biological conflict.

GNM is a mainly diagnostic construction and a primitive reinvention of a number of obsolete concepts from psychosomatic medicine, mixed with pseudoscientific, unvalidated tests of Hamer's own invention and a grotesquely erroneous interpretation of CT brain scans. Some of his ideas have already been proposed before (e.g. ''Christian Science'' and anthroposophic medicine...). What is usually called disease or symptom, is seen by Hamer as a ''sensible biological program'' (in German: ''sinnvolles biologisches Sonderprogramm''), being the reaction of a healthy organism to the alleged biological conflicts. According to Hamer's theory, all severe diseases, such as cancer, can be ''healed'' in 95% of all cases by performing a so-called ''conflictolysis'' on the principles of the GNM. Failures of his method or the death of patients are consistently attributed to interventions of ''scholastic medicine'', e.g. the use of morphine, or the patient's not being totally committed to the GNM.
