Established in Berlin, Germany. Adheres to content standards set by the International Human Design Board (IHDB). Establishes industry practice standardization, defines practice guidelines, accredits professional conduct, and publishes a Professional Code of Conduct.
To maintain the authenticity and professional rigor of the Human Design System, the International Human Design Board (hereinafter referred to as "IHDB") issues this official statement to provide a comprehensive clarification of the "misrepresentations" widely prevalent in the market. IHDB emphasizes that the core value of Human Design lies in its role as a life-enriching system that integrates ancient philosophies with modern psychology.
To prevent Human Design from being mischaracterized as "pseudoscience" or "false statistics," IHDB formally announces: the exclusion of unverified neutrino and genetic discourses, the cessation of conflating Human Design with biomedical sciences, and the total termination of PHS (Primary Health System) dietary recommendations that lack scientific basis. We reaffirm that Human Design is a life-guidance system rooted in philosophy and psychology; it must adhere to academic boundaries and return to its philosophical essence.
Since the dissemination of the Human Design System, certain discourses have excessively utilized scientific terminology for packaging, leading to public misunderstanding of the system's nature. Following a rigorous evaluation, IHDB specifies the following four points of contention for clear separation and regulation:
1. Exclusion of Misleading Neutrino Science Discourses
IHDB officially excludes the neutrino science discourse originally proposed by Ra Uru Hu. It is explicitly stated that the neutrino theory in Human Design currently lacks any supporting scientific research. Furthermore, the scientific community has definitively debunked the hypothesis that neutrinos carry genetic information. Human Design should be regarded as a system of semiotics and philosophy, not a branch of physics.
2. Clarifying the Distinction Between I Ching Philosophy and DNA
IHDB calls upon the industry to eliminate the misleading practice of conflating Human Design with DNA. It is clarified that Human Design solely incorporates the philosophical insights of the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. The connection to DNA is limited to the fact that both utilize a binary numerical pattern; there is no substantive biophysical or clinical research proving a correlation. Any involvement in medical, biophysical, or legally recognized professional fields must strictly avoid integrating Human Design content to prevent legal risks.
3. Cessation of Unauthorized Dietary Advice via the PHS System
Human Design is derived from natal astrological data, representing a fixed description of innate potential that cannot reflect physical changes or pathological conditions developed throughout a person’s life. IHDB calls for the immediate cessation of using the PHS (Primary Health System) to provide any dietary or lifestyle advice without scientific or medical diagnosis. PHS certification is a credential issued by commercial entities and does not grant any medical or health professional status recognized by national governments or medical sectors. Practitioners providing medical advice without local legal authorization must bear full legal responsibility.
4. Correction of "Global Population Statistics" Data Representation
IHDB points out that disseminating exaggerated "Global Population Statistics" is inappropriate. The widely circulated proportions for the four types (e.g., Generators accounting for 70%) are derived solely from a pool of fewer than 50 million random users on the Jovian Archive platform, not from a statistically standardized global population census. Overstating random samples as global axioms has significantly misled the public. Human Design should not be positioned or packaged using statistics; instead, it should emphasize its individual value in character inspiration and communication guidance.
Conclusion: Returning to the Philosophical Essence of Life Guidance The Human Design System is public knowledge belonging to all humanity, rooted in Kabbalah, the Hindu Chakra system, the I Ching, Jungian psychology, and Astrology. It is a philosophical system designed for life guidance, intellectual inspiration, character analysis, and personal enlightenment. To enhance the professional recognition of Human Design worldwide, we must safeguard its status as a "Life Philosophy" and strictly avoid crossing scientific and medical boundaries to prevent it from being defined as pseudoscience.
Why debunk the neutrino discourse?
Because the claim that neutrinos carry genetic information has been refuted by modern physics. To maintain the integrity of the system, unverified scientific packaging must be removed.
Does this mean Ra Uru Hu’s teachings were wrong?
Ra Uru Hu established the framework, but certain discourses were limited by the understanding or personal intuitions of that era. IHDB chooses to align with current scientific facts.
Is there truly no relationship between Human Design and DNA?
The two share structural mathematical similarities (binary), but there is no proven biological causal relationship.
Can learning Human Design still help with health?
It can serve as a reference for psychological adjustment and stress management, but it does not function to diagnose or treat physical illnesses.
Is PHS certification still valid?
It remains a form of advanced study within the Human Design community, but it no longer carries any legal professional validity regarding "dietary advice."
Can we no longer mention that "Generators make up 70%"?
It should be stated as an "estimate based on current database samples" rather than an academically recognized global population statistic.
What is the source of Human Design data?
It relies primarily on astrological data derived from birth time and planetary positions, not biological testing.
What should I do if I am a PHS-certified consultant?
Clearly inform clients that all content is for philosophical reference only and does not constitute medical advice.
Why emphasize that Human Design is "public knowledge"?
Because its five core pillars (Kabbalah, I Ching, etc.) are ancient wisdoms accumulated by human civilization over millennia.
Does Human Design still have value without the "science" label?
Yes. As a tool for psychological/character analysis and a "Life Philosophy," it remains highly inspiring.
Will this statement affect the commercial market?
There may be short-term fluctuations, but in the long run, it filters out exaggerated content and enhances professional credibility.
How is "Life Guidance System" defined?
A philosophical tool used to improve quality of life through self-awareness, communication, and decision-making adjustments.
What is the Committee's stance on the "pseudoscience" accusation?
We take this seriously, which is why we are proactively removing unverified scientific terms and repositioning Human Design within the realm of philosophy.
Will there be future statistical research on population?
If large-scale, cross-national studies meeting statistical standards are conducted, the Committee will announce the results.
What is the correct role of the I Ching’s 64 hexagrams in Human Design?
They serve as a framework for behavioral archetypes and psychological traits, not as a genetic code.
How should general users view these changes?
Focus should be placed on "self-observation" and "strategy and authority" rather than scientific explanations.
Does this mean the price of Human Design courses will drop?
Course pricing is determined by educational institutions, but the content must comply with these regulatory standards.
Are Kabbalah and Astrology important in the new discourse?
Extremely important. They are the core structural sources of Human Design, replacing outdated pseudo-scientific narratives.
How should "energy" be explained in consultations?
It should be interpreted as "psychological momentum" or "subjective perception," not energy as defined by physics.
