==Description==
This transmission deals with the [[Germanic New Medicine]]. It takes the position of neither the opponents nor the adherents of the concept, since both sides have stated their positions forcefully on the Internet. Rather, I am interviewing former associates of Dr Hamer. They tell publicly, for the first time, of their work in the service of Dr Hamer. It was not easy to locate these women, as they had subsequently married and changed their names. These women in the end declared themselves to give these interviews because the matter is ongoing.

The former associates reported that, in the time they worked for Dr Hamer, they saw no-one who was cured by him. According to them, Dr Hamer had dying patients rapidly transferred to other hospitals, or transported to France, in order to be able to say that they had not died in his care. Were patients to die in Dr Hamer's Clinic, the former associates report that Dr Hamer instructed that nursing care was to continue on the dead, even after life had departed.

B: It was Mr. D'Oncieu I suppose [earl Antoine D'Oncieu de la Batie, president of french ASAC association in Chambery]. He was supporting Dr. Hamer at that time. In your opinion: they were patients that have been completely abandoned by scholastic medicine?

G: They were fatally ill patients. He transferred some of them in other clinics, to avoid to show deceased patients in his clinic, [but] knowing that they were terminally ill. And so there came up a new problem: suddenly the clinics in Koblenz and Limburg refused ro accept further terminally ill patients [from his clinic].

G: It was not a long time, I started August 1st [1985] and at the beginning of December, after the criminal investigation department did a house search and confiscated everything, the clinic was closed.  
    
B. At the beginning you were impressed by Dr. Hamer for a short time, when he came into your town. Is that correct ?

   −
G: That is correct, I saw this man and I thought: "Oh yes, this is a very different doctor. Physicians are usually ''gods in white''. My impression was: "he is human", but after about three days I thought "no, this Dr. Hamer is quite crazy in his head". I could not support that anymore, his affair.

B: What do you mean by this ?
   −
G: I was rather the secretary, he dictated me some letters, to the district authorities, to the regional government, he was in a battle with everybody, he had also this persecution mania, always someone wanted to harm him. These letters were completely confused - I could not support that anymore, and so I thought "there is something wrong with that man".

B: But you remained there for almost half a year.
 
B: But you remained there for almost half a year.
   −
G: Yes, in the mean time he had patients and somehow they had to be supplied. They were so poor people, often very ill, and I co-organized that a nurse was engaged for half-day. There was no money. Money failed, that was the evil. Then there was a woman to clean up the rooms, I engaged her from the old hospital, and in the kitchen we needed also some people to prepare the food for the patients. We could no simply abandon these people, the poor ill people.

G: Yes, in the meantime he had patients and they had to be taken care of somehow. They were poor people, often very ill, and I coorganized engaging a nurse who worked part-time. There was no money. Money lacked, that was the root of all evil. Then there was a woman to clean the rooms, I engaged her from the old hospital, and we also needed some people in the kitchen to prepare food for the patients. We could not simply abandon these people, these poor ill people.
   −
B: You worked earlier in the same hospital, before Dr. arrived and you have be re-engaged as a secretary. So you are not out of any inner circle of Dr. Hamer, according to your narrative to me.
+
B: You worked in the same hospital earlier, before Dr. Hamer arrived and you were rehired as a secretary. So you never belonged to any inner circle of Dr. Hamer, according to what you told me.
   −
G: No, no, earlier I had nothing to do with Dr. Hamer. I was in that hospital that was closed beenig too small and at that time we all were happy: "the work continues somehow ... a new doctor is coming and will guide this clinic and we may keep our place of work." But at the end everything developed in a very different way.
+
G: No, no, I had nothing to do with Dr. Hamer before. I was in that hospital which was closed for being too small and at that time we all were happy: "The work continues somehow ... a new doctor arrives and will direct this clinic, and we may keep our jobs." But in the end everything developed in a very different way.

B: Now I have a last question Mrs. G: Out of the period with Dr. Hamer, do you remember something exceptional?
+
B: Now I have a last question, Mrs. G: Out of the time with Dr. Hamer, do you remember something exceptional?
   −
G: Yes, I can recall an issue that I will never forget in my life. We had a young and seriously ill female cancer patient and she was there together with her brother. And one morning Dr. Hamer went away with his car without telling us where he wanted to drive, when he wanted to return and gave us no phone number to call him - nothing. And the brother came then to me saying that his siter had much pain and he was seeking the doctor. I told him "I can't reach him, he did not tell us where he is now". and the brother returned two or three times "My sister is screaming because of her pain." And I thought: "I will call now an other doctor, it can not continue this way." And then I called our former surgeon who worked in a private practice then. And he told me: "I come, but I will bring an other collegue to come. I do not enter that clinic alone." He came with a second physician and they gave some analgetic drug to the young lady. And later they have sued Hamer [made a complaint]. So the whole affair (of closing the clinic] started. Later, the criminal police arrived and has confiscated everything. This issue triggered actually the closing of the clinic.

B: Why didn't this doctor want to come alone? Do you remember that?
   −
G: Yes, it was already a contestated issue at that time. He [Hamer]] said always: "the scholastic medicine"... The physicians did not agree the methods of Dr. Hamer. Dr. D. did not want to come alone, he wanted the presence of a witness, a second doctor.

B: ...Mrs. M., how did you start [to work with Dr. Hamer]?
   −
M: The clinic was closed 31th of December 1984, because it was eliminate from a list of planned clinics [Krankenhauszielplan]. I continued to work there until the day 30th of June 1985 to conclude some works. And that Dr. Hamer presented himself in an assembly of the community and asked who wanted to work with him. I had family and so I said of course yes, I want to work with you.

   −
M: I am describing it as a very chaotic period and exhausting time. Chaotic because he [Hamer] had no money, we had sometimes not enough money to feed our patients and so it was very very difficult to work there. He could not practice a therapy because sometimes there were no drugs available to relieve pain. I don't even know how he practiced his therapy, with what he did his therapies.

B: Have you ever seen someone healed by his methods, as he claims?
   −
M: No, no. I have never seen someone who was healed during this period. Now I know the fact that natural medicine or chemo therapy have healed in the case of cancer and some say: "I have defeated cancer". But I have never seen someone even only recovering a little bit there during this period, looking back. Sometimes the people had more fun of life, because he transmitted them this fun of life, and he promised them, ..in the case of positive-thinking and believing in his method, that they will be healed. But there was no person I can remember, who left the clinic as a healed person, or improving after some time.

M: No, no. I have never seen anyone healed during this period. Now I know the fact that natural medicine or chemotherapy have healed cases of cancer and some say: "I defeated cancer".

Sometimes people had more fun in life, because he transmitted them this fun in life, and he promised them, ..in the case of positive thinking and believing in his method, they will be healed.

M: I remember a terrible event happening to me. He was looking always for money. And friends in France supported him very much. And when there was absolutely no money, he took his car and went to France. And then he left the patients and us alone for days. Sometimes this was lasting two or three days until he came back. And a I had a terrible experience - he was outside, or he wanted to start, early in the morning - and he asked me to take care of a particular french female patient. And he left us and two or one hour later I thought: "Okay, now you should go up to the ward." I was usually in the office. And I entered the room, stood in front of the bed and thought: "strange - this woman is not breathing anymore." And in fact, she did not breathe and I touched her and she was already completely cold. The rigor mortis [cadaveric rigidity] was present since a long time. Remembering it, I can feel something cold and hot flowing down my back, and still get problems remembering it. Seeing it from his point of view, then he did act this way because he wanted money for one more day from her family. But this woman, in my opinion, died earlier, during the last night, and he knew that, and he simply fled away.

M: [interupting] ..Yes, yes Frau Bauer, he handled it sometimes in a particular way. When he noticed that that someone was going to die, he dismissed him rapidly in an other hospital in the neighbourhood. I know that one patient died even during the transport, and the dismissed patients died in the other hospitals within a short time. And he never accepted any fault ! He never said: "The people were so ill, that the other hospitals could not save them." He always said that the other hospitals, or the other physicians ... or that the patients came too late to him. He never accepted any mistake.
