Austrian girl Olivia was six years of age when she began to suffer from a life-threatening Wilms' tumor (nefroblastoma). Olivia's parents first consulted a female physician in Vienna (apparently Elisabeth Rozkydal). She enabled a contact to Ryke Geerd Hamer who was already barred at that time and not in a position to treat patients legally. The parents decided to have their child treated according to Hamer's New Medicine, and at the same time began to withhold any conventional medical therapy from their child. Hamer first ''diagnosed'' flatulence and tried to help Olivia by a sort of massage of her belly.<ref>Pilhar H: Olivia - Tagebuch eines Schicksals, Amici di Dirk Verlagsgesellschaft, ISBN 3-926755-08-3</ref> He then asserted she would recover without any particular therapy. He was at the end of his diagnostic abilities: ''starvation conflict'' because Olivia's grandmother ''gave her too many Schnitzels to eat'' and a ''refugee conflict'' because the family had moved house earlier.<ref>Hamer's own words in German: [...] Bei Olivia hatte sie Leberkrebs, weil sie einen Verhungerungskonflikt hatte, weil die Mutter nicht mehr gekocht hatte und in die Schule gegangen war, und die Oma nun kochen musste, die immer Schnitzel nur briet [...]</ref><ref>http://www.swr.de/report/archiv/sendungen/021118/04/frames.html</ref> Hamer also ''diagnosed'' an alleged ''liver tumour'' and thought a traumatic event having occured shortly before was the real cause of this tumour. This is simply impossible and nonsense because a tumour needs years to develop, in children at least two years. Later Hamer even diagnosed ''brain metastases'' and claimed chemotherapy was fatal in&nbsp;95% of all cases, creating much fear in the family.

Austrian authorities finally revoked their rights to child custody, and the parents fled Austria with their child, first to Munich and later to Malaga (Spain, Hotel ''Las Vegas'' next to Hamer's house in Alhaurin el Grande), being aided and abetted by four members of a religious sect (''Fiat Lux''). Hamer unsuccessfully treated the child using his New Medicine, and the tumour continued to grow. When Olivia had left Austria, her tumour had a volume of 250&nbsp;ml and grew up to 4.2&nbsp;liters (the size of a football), and she suffered considerably as the tumour exerted growing pressure on her tiny lungs so that she was forced to breathe at a high frequency. Olivia and her parents were finally traced in Spain by the German press (Spiegel), and Hamer shamelessly used this as an opportunity to gain publicity for himself and his method. He requested the child to come to the beach for some photos. After negotiations including the intervention of the Austrian president, the parents were persuaded to return to Austria after intervention of the Spanish police. The child was finally given emergency medical treatment in Vienna against the parents' wish following court orders and is still alive today.

Spanish professor and known opponent of Franco's Helena (Elena) Lumbreras noticed a tumour in her left breast at the age of&nbsp;51 in 1987. She tried to cure her breast cancer by different alternative methods; however, without any success. She left two daughters and her husband. After a first attempt with faith-healing, she noticed her tumour growing, and a metastasis appeared. Therefore she decided to undergo a late conventionally chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Afterwards, she once more tried an alternative method using whole-body hyperthermia, again without success. She then was advised to try New Medicine by a colleague. Her daughter Valeria remembers Helena Lumbreras called a ''Hamer center'' in the region of Malaga where someone promised her a ''recovery within three weeks''. An unknown person with a strong German accent advised her what to do. On March&nbsp;12 1995, her suffering increased considerably and she was not able to get up or leave her room any longer. The German-sounding person prohibited the use of pain-relieving analgetic drugs and told her never to take any chemotherapy in future. Mrs Lumbreras was in terrible pain and not able to sleep more than one hour per day and refused to eat. After two months of such a treatment by telephone, an GNM physician suddenly appeared: Spanish physician Vicenç Herrera from Barcelona. According to Herrera, Lumbreras allegedly suffered from a ''mother-child-conflict'' which caused cancer in her left breast. When the pain intensified even more, Herrera considered this a symptom of a ''proceso de recalcificación'' and of recovery. In June 1995, Lumbreras had to be admitted to a hospital as an emergency. In hospital, she happened to see a report on the case of Olivia Pilhar on TV (Olivia and her parents were in Spain at that time) and so learned of Hamer having lost his medical license. Her daughter Valeria remembers Lumbreras told her:  «[...] Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes [...]» On August&nbsp;4 1995, she died suffering extreme pain. The doctor she last consulted was Vicenç Herrera Adell, a stout supporter of Hamer's since 1992. Physicians Juan Puget Valencia and Vicenç Herrera Adell were sued by Mrs Lumbreras' parents. Puget Valencia voiced regret to have made use of New Medicine, and legal procedures against him were closed. The ''Consejo del Colegio de Médicos de Catalunya'' revoked the medical license of Vicenç Herrera.<ref>Xavier Margarit (Barcelona), El Mundo August&nbsp;13 1995</ref><ref>http://www.elmundo.es/papel/hemeroteca/1995/08/13/sociedad/59623.html</ref>

[[image:diarioDM.jpg|One page of the diary of Domenico Mannarino|600px|thumb]]

On August&nbsp;20, 2006, Italian police officer Domenico Mannarino died in terrible pain at the age of fifty because of cancer, with his doctor absent. Mannarino lived in the southern Italian city of Crotone. Since November 2005 he knew he had lung cancer with a diameter of 1&nbsp;cm. A member of his family, physician B.&nbsp;L. of Rome<ref>name known, for legal reasons we prefer to keep the name secret, hoping that he will be convicted one day so that we may tell his name. The widow of Mannarino is willing to tell his name. A contact can be made via email</ref>, advised him to seek help from New Medicine and Mannarino agreed. The respective physician did not have an office in Crotone, but was (and still is) working at the hospital Sant' Andrea in Rome. But he visited his patient and kept contact with him by telephone. Mannarino and his wife Cinzia went to see a GNM physician in Aulla (Liguria) named Lupi. He charged 150&nbsp;Euro for the consultation and requested them to buy some NM books (memory of his wife and as recorded in his private diary), and they decided to buy them. One of the publishing companies of Hamer's books happens to be situated in Aulla, formerly ''Amici di Dirk srl'', now ''Secondo Natura srl''.

One of the publishing companies of Hamer's books happens to be situated in Aulla, formerly ''Amici di Dirk srl'', now ''Secondo Natura srl''.

The two were disappointed, however, because Lupi seemed to prefer talking instead of listening, and were quite amazed. Later the president of the Italian association ALBA, Marco Pfister (a Swiss citizen and former barman without any known medical degree), was included in the group of persons giving Mannarino advice, and Mannarino stayed in phone contact with him. His physician B.&nbsp;L. diagnosed an allegedly harmless ''bronchial ulceration'' and categorically excluded any cancer despite former radiological evidence, his wife Cinzia remembered. B.&nbsp;L. then ruled out any conventional treatment and urged him not to repeat any radiological exploration. Mannarino was not supposed to talk about his decision to try New Medicine and B.&nbsp;L. likewise ordered him not to name him as the treating physician to anyone. But Mannarino was a very accurate and meticulous policeman and wrote down every detail of disease and treatment in his private diary which his wife presented after his death. B.&nbsp;L. promised a rapid recovery from his ''ulceration''. Mannarino followed all instructions and rejected any conventional treatment. His health situation, however, deteriorated rapidly, his lung tumour grew and he developed a metastasis at his chin. B.&nbsp;L. considered this a symptom of upcoming recovery. Later he was semi-paralyzed and died at home, looked after by his wife. His physician B.&nbsp;L. had gone for a holiday to the Caribbean. Mannarino did not seek other medical help as he had promised not to contact any other doctor. He left his wife and three children. After his return, B.&nbsp;L. had no condolences for widowed Cinzia, but instead accused the astonished woman of having caused her husband's death as she allegedly did not strictly believe in New Medicine which, according to its rules, is said to be necessary for recovery. She replied that she in fact read one of Hamer's books to her husband when he was no longer able to read himself. Cinzia Alunni (the widow) became very upset and made public many details of this case in the Italian press. She still keeps her husband's diary and all receipts and bills. She tried to sue B.&nbsp;L., but had no success. She was threatened by an unknown man armed with a pistol waiting for her in front of her door at the end of 2007, and consequently intended to move from Crotone to avoid any further menace for her children and herself. In a newspaper article she considered Hamer's method ''illegal human experiments''.

==2006: Still unidentified man called Aldo (Italy)==

In December 2006, a young Italian male admirer and supporter of New Medicine /Nuova Medicine Germanica) by the name of Aldo died of cancer in the town of Bergamo (Italy). His identity is still unknown, but many facts are known from different sources permitting to describe this case. Aldo was known for a Hamer supporter and was active in an Italian internet forum where supporters and critics meet and exchange opinions (Meet-up forum of Italian comedian and political activist Beppe Grillo). In this forum he was active with the nick of ''Ali Baba'', as was revealed by a close friend of his (G.) who wants to keep her name secret. In his messages (recorded and saved, but also still visible) he shows a sort of blind trust in New Medicine. It is still a mystery who introduced him to this method. Some people were shocked reading his messages as he also publicly said he had cancer. But nobody wanted to advise him to seek competent medical help. On September&nbsp;20, 2006 he reported to have a tumour; he used the expression ''cancer''. He announced he did not want any medical help. On October&nbsp;2, he began to express weak doubts in New Medicine and he considered trying the method of a former Italian physician [[Tullio Simoncini]] who believes the fungus candida albicans to be the real cause of all cancer which can be healed by a primitive sodium-bicarbonate cure (this physician was already barred and convicted like Hamer at that time). On November&nbsp;24, he reported a large tumour in his belly that caused internal bleeding and a short emergency recovery at a hospital in Bergamo. He talked about a ''successful conflictolysis'' according to New Medicine. He showed signs of fear and in vain sought a confirmation of other cancer patients allegedly successfully cured by New Medicine. However, nobody was able to name any. He wrote to GNM association ALBA in Genova and looked for help there. But he only received a meaningless and peculiar e-mail stating that ''[...] the patient himself is responsible for his therapy [...]'' and he was disappointed having to realise this association was not willing to help him or simply was incompetent. His last message in fact was a ''good bye'' and a clear rejection of modern scientific medicine. He wrote that ''somebody'' (an unknown person) asked him to confirm that (allegedly) no GNM physician assisted him in the past, as if this fact were important. He did not understand why his tumour grew despite the fact that he had undergone a ''successful conflictolysis'', and why he was still waiting for a recovery to happen. In the end he spoke about ''his fate''. A few days before his death, he gave all his passwords to a female friend (G.) in order to continue with messages in his name, but she was deeply impressed by his death and decided not to write in his name. Instead she reported what happened in a message to the forum. She revealed he suffered from an inherited form of cancer (probably Familial Adenomatous Polyposis FAP), and that other members of his family had the same disease and were able to recover by choosing an effective medical treatment.
