Resources and support for families dealing with cancer and serious illness

I’ve been lurking in this thread for ages, but I haven't really jumped into the conversation until now. I recently stumbled upon this text via email that seems super interesting—and honestly, I’m hoping you guys find it just as compelling as I did. It’s more like... well, let's call it a study.

Hopefully, this won't bore you to death, but seriously, you should give it a read. Unfortunately, it didn't come through as a clickable link, so I have to dump the whole thing here for you.

Walter Last worked as a biochemist and research chemist in medical departments at several German universities and at Bio-Science Laboratories in Los Angeles, USA, before moving on to be a nutritionist and natural therapist in New Zealand and Australia. He’s written a ton of health articles and a few books, including Heal Yourself and Healing Foods (Penguin Books) and Natural Way to Heal (Hampton Roads Publishing). You can find his website, which dives into all things health, science, and spirituality, over at http://mrbean.net.au/...
The German physician Ryke Geerd Hamer (born 1935) had an incredibly high success rate with his cancer therapy—way higher than any other treatment I've ever seen. During one of the legal proceedings against Dr. Hamer, the prosecutor (in Vienna, Austria) actually had to admit that 6,000 out of 6,500 patients—most of whom were in advanced stages of cancer—were still alive four to five years after undergoing Dr. Hamer’s treatment. That’s a 90% success rate... which is basically a total miracle compared to what you'd expect from conventional treatments for advanced cancer.

Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with testicular cancer shortly after his son was shot in 1978, and he started wondering if his son’s death was the actual trigger for his own cancer. But it wasn't until three years later, while working at a cancer clinic at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, that he could finally dive into serious cancer research. Since then, he’s researched and documented 15,000 cancer cases, discovering that they always shared specific characteristics he dubbed the German New Medicine.

German New Medicine

1. Every cancer or similar disease starts as a DHS—Dirk Hamer Syndrome (named after his son). This is a severe, acute, dramatic, and isolating experience of conflict and shock. It hits all three levels simultaneously: the psyche, the brain, and the organs.

2. The specific theme of the psychological conflict determines where the Hamer Herd is located in the brain and where the cancer shows up in the organ.

3. The progression of the psychological conflict is directly linked to how the Hamer Herd develops in the brain and how the cancer develops in the organ.

At the moment of the conflict-shock, something like a short circuit happens at a predetermined spot in the brain. You can actually see this on a CT scan; it looks like concentric circles, kind of like a bullseye or ripples on water after you toss a stone in. Later, once the conflict is resolved, the CT image changes as edema develops and, eventually, a scar forms.

In the following example, you can see just how specific and precisely located these brain tissue lesions are. After a professional lecture, one doctor handed Dr. Hamer a CT scan and asked him to interpret it. From that single scan, Dr. Hamer was able to diagnose that the patient had a new, bleeding bladder carcinoma in its healing phase, an old prostate cancer, diabetes, an old lung cancer, and numbness in a specific part of the body—all tied back to their corresponding emotional conflicts.

It’s honestly wild how Hamer managed to prove that when you see those concentric lesions in an organ on a CT scan, you can actually see the exact same patterns showing up in the brain at the same time. According to Hamer, this happens the very second a psychological shock hits the subconscious—it's like the cancer starts developing in that exact moment. And get this: other diseases can kick off through the same mechanism too. Sure, how bad things get might depend on stuff like your physiology, energy levels, or what you're eating, but the actual nature and location of the disease? That’s strictly locked in by the specific conflict-shock...

Hamer believes that the whole connection between major emotional stressors, specific brain parts, and the corresponding organs is just an evolutionary adaptation—basically a leftover program from the animal kingdom. When we hit one of those unexpected emotional shocks, it triggers a "biological program" designed for emergency repairs—a conflict program meant to get the individual back to normal. These programs can even be tied to families or other social groups.

So, Hamer gives this example: Imagine a mother watching her child go through some serious physical trauma. From an evolutionary standpoint, kids recover way faster if they get extra milk. Because of that, the mother's biological conflict program tries to boost milk production by cranking up the cell count in her breasts. If she’s right-handed, this immediately triggers a Hamer Herd (which, by the way, is a term coined by Hamer's critics who mockingly called these brain structures "Hamer's funny little foci") in a specific part of her right hemisphere, which then shows up in her left breast. Once the kid recovers, the conflict starts resolving and all that extra milk isn't needed anymore. The mother then develops a benign form of tuberculosis in that breast to break down the excess cells. But—and here’s the kicker—if the mycobacteria needed for that process aren't there, the area might just calcify and sit there like a dormant tumor.

The exact same thing happens in animals. A sheep that loses a lamb to a wolf shows a tendency toward mammary cancer; which side gets hit depends on whether the sheep is left-footed or right-footed. Though, most of the time, the sheep just resolves the conflict by nursing a new lamb.

Another example really drives home why this mechanism was originally so vital for survival. Picture a lion chasing an antelope. That antelope has to mobilize every single ounce of strength just to stay alive. The sympathetic nervous system takes over, and specific centers in the brain kick lung activity into overdrive. Once the animal successfully escapes, the parasympathetic nervous system steps in to take control for a bit, normalizing everything.

But if someone gets told they have cancer—even if the diagnosis is totally wrong—that same fear of death triggers that exact same biological program used by the animal to run for its life. Stress levels spike and the brain-lung connection activates, but this time, there’s nowhere to run. As long as that conflict remains unresolved—which could drag on for years—you're stuck in a loop of continuous stress and brain-driven lung stimulation, which manifests as increased lung capacity due to constant cell division.

The only way to stop this cycle is to flip the switch in the brain by finally resolving the original conflict-shock. This happens when a patient undergoes surgery or a natural therapy that they *completely* believe will lead to them being healed. But—and this is huge—that same procedure won't fix anything for a patient who doubts it'll work, and the disease just keeps progressing. Thanks to Hamer's work, this isn't just some random theory anymore; it's a scientific fact you can verify any time with a brain CT scan.

So, here’s a quick rundown of how certain emotional conflicts link up with specific organs—kind of a "cheat sheet" for what's actually going on under the hood:

Adrenal cortex – being misled or totally losing your way;

Bladder – feeling dirty about a nasty conflict or some shady tricks;

Bone – a total lack of self-esteem or just feeling inferior...

Mammary glands – basically worry or a sense of disharmony;

Mammary ducts – separation conflicts;

Left breast (for righties) – stuff involving kids, home, or Mom;

Right breast (for lefties) – issues with a partner or other people;

Bronch – territory disputes;

Cervix – serious frustration...

Colon – a nasty, indigestible conflict;

Gallbladder – competition-based conflicts;

Heart – just non-stop, constant conflict;

Intestines – an unshakeable chunk of pure rage;

Kidneys – a loss of the will to live, or conflicts tied to water/fluids;

Larynx – fear-based conflicts or feeling terrified;

Liver – fear of starvation;

Lungs – the fear of suffocating, including worrying someone else might choke;

Lymph nodes – low self-esteem linked to your location;

Melanoma – feeling "dirty" or tainted;

Middle ear – being unable to get hold of info you desperately need;

Mouth – being unable to chew on or hold onto something;

Esophagus – not being able to have or swallow something;

Pancreas – agitation or anger regarding family or inheritance issues;
Prostate – a nasty conflict involving sex or sexual themes;

Rectum – fear of being useless;

Skin – a loss of integrity;

Spleen – shock from physical or emotional wounding;

Stomach – rage you just can't digest, or swallowing too much at once;

Testes and ovaries – loss conflicts;

Thyroid – feeling powerless;

Uterus – sexual conflicts.

Here's some more info on those specific illnesses tied to conflict emotions...

So, about AIDS—Hamer noticed something pretty wild... apparently, nobody actually dies from AIDS unless they've already been hit by that crushing realization or absolute certainty that they’re HIV-positive. It points to the same thing we see with cancer—that negative mental perception is basically what triggers the whole devastating downward spiral...

Angina pectoris—it’s basically caused by a territorial conflict while you're in the active phase, then shifts to a heart attack once you hit the healing phase...

Diabetes and hypoglycemia—it’s all about how you're wired, apparently. If you're a right-handed woman, you're looking at hypoglycemia triggered by anxiety or feeling totally repulsed by something... but if you're left-handed? Then we're talking insulin-dependent diabetes. For the guys, it flips—a right-handed man hits insulin-dependent diabetes from some kind of conflict involving resistance or fighting back against something, whereas if he's left-handed, he'll deal with hypoglycemia instead... wild stuff.

Facial paralysis—it’s basically that terrifying fear of losing your face entirely, mostly because you're scared people will start making fun of you... which, let's be real, happens way too often.

Hemorrhoids—basically, you've got a left-handed woman dealing with an identity crisis and a left-handed guy spiraling into territorial rage during his healing phase... yeah, that’s a recipe for hemorrhoids.

Heart attack—is it actually a fight for territory or just a battle over what's inside?

Multiple sclerosis and paralysis—basically that feeling of being totally stuck, unable to run, keep going, or even stick to the plan... or just that complete brain fog when you have absolutely no clue what the next move should be.

Psoriasis—basically boils down to that deep-seated conflict of feeling separated from your mom, your dad, your family, your home, your buddies, or even your pets... just that whole sense of being cut off.

Every single type of psychosis involves one or more active Hamer Herds sitting right there in both hemispheres of the brain... just waiting to trip things up.

Rheumatism—basically just the fallout from a brutal separation conflict that leaves you stuck with nothing but pain and misery...

Vitiligo, Leukoderma—it’s all about that conflict between feeling ugly or dealing with a brutal separation...

Note regarding handedness:

Lefties tend to deal with issues on the exact opposite side from what right-handed folks go through. Basically, the dominant hand is whichever one ends up on top when you're clapping... simple enough. With right-handers, all those muscles on the right side of the body are tied to your partner—or maybe even other people in general—while everything on the left side is linked to your kids or your own mother... just how it works, I guess.

These kinds of things can totally flip-flop when your hormones start acting up—you know, like when you're on birth control or hitting menopause... everything just shifts.

The way we pick our conflict centers is all about those subconscious associations—it’s wild when you think about it. Like, biological conflicts involving water, or even other liquids like milk or oil, can trigger kidney cancer. Then you've got the fear of death leading to lung cancer, or that psychological feeling of trying to swallow a bigger bite than you can actually handle, which hits the stomach or intestines. Back in the day, in the animal kingdom, we’re talking about literal mouthfuls of food... but for us? It’s more like taking on massive financial burdens or some other crazy responsibility that you just can't live up to. At the end of the day, the event itself isn't what sets the stage—it’s the psychological weight that thing carries for us right when it happens...

So, Hamer uses this example of a woman catching her husband in bed with someone else—total nightmare scenario, right? If she views it through the lens of sexual frustration, that’s what triggers uterine cancer. But if she processes it more as a conflict with her partner instead... well, for a right-handed person, that can manifest as right-sided breast cancer. It gets even weirder, though. If those feelings turn into pure fear or disgust, you’re looking at hypoglycemia. And if there’s a sense of feeling worthless involved, the cancer could show up in the pubic bone. Now, if that feeling of worthlessness is tied specifically to a betrayal of trust rather than anything sexual, then we're talking issues in the hands or legs—maybe even the fingers or the shoulder... Other classic situations that kick off these biological conflicts? Loss. Losing a loved one, a job, property, or even just your territory... it all ties back to the same stuff...

So, Hamer basically argues that most metastases or secondary tumors aren't just random—they're actually triggered by that massive wave of fear once someone gets hit with a cancer diagnosis or some crappy prognosis... like, the sheer terror of death itself. But here’s the kicker—that initial conflict shock doesn't always have to be about dying. It could just as easily be pure rage, deep resentment, or even the trauma of being separated from a spouse or kids. If that's the case, the tumors show up somewhere else entirely. Even with colon cancer, the whole thing can trigger liver issues because of this subconscious, primal fear of starving... it's wild how much our heads run the show...

Look, generally speaking, feeling totally hopeless, desperate, or just stuck in this void of meaninglessness creates a massive amount of chronic stress—which basically shuts down your body's ability to Heal from cancer or anything else... but those feelings aren't actually the root cause. According to Hamer, the real trigger for cancer and other illnesses is that sudden, unexpected traumatic shock that hits you when you're completely emotionally unprepared.

The Healing Phase

Look, a DHS onset—or that initial shock from a conflict—is nothing like the random stress we deal with every day. It’s different. It puts you in this state of constant tension that leaves you with ice-cold hands and feet, zero appetite, weight loss, insomnia, and just... constantly obsessing over whatever caused the mess in the first place. If that conflict doesn't get resolved fast, this prolonged stress can trigger specific symptoms and eventually lead to cancer or other serious issues.

Once the conflict finally resolves, the brain stops looping on the problem. Your appetite comes back, your hands aren't freezing anymore, and you actually sleep again—though you might feel totally wiped out, exhausted, or just desperate to lie down. That feeling? It’s basically a sign that your parasympathetic nervous system has finally taken the wheel.

So, welcome to the healing phase... which, fair warning, can be long and pretty brutal.

During the first part of this phase, you get water retention and inflammation, even though the tumor itself has stopped growing. This leads to what Hamer calls a "healing crisis"—sometimes looking like an epileptic or epileptoid seizure—because it's caused by edema (swelling) in the damaged brain tissue at the Hamer Herd. The symptoms vary depending on what you're dealing with.

After that, the body starts flushing out all that extra fluid, the patient slowly regains strength, and everything starts normalizing. This is when the glial cells in the brain step in to repair the Hamer Herd. Now, here's the kicker: conventional radiologists might see this and misinterpret it as a rapidly growing brain tumor, then rush to treat it based on that wrong diagnosis.

Hamer actually estimates that about 99% of brain events—we're talking strokes, hemorrhages, cysts, tumors—are actually just the result of the Hamer Herd healing. Because of that, he views them as temporary and self-limiting, unless someone steps in with the wrong medical intervention. In those cases, the most important thing is to reduce any brain edema.

During a healing crisis, a person might briefly relive the original psychological conflict, complete with cold sweats and freezing feet. The whole point of this process is to suppress and clear the edema in the injured brain tissue so the rest of the body can stabilize. Honestly, the most dangerous window is right before the end of the crisis, when you're waiting to see if the body is actually strong enough to win the fight.

In really intense cases where the conflict was massive and long-lasting, you can get major brain edema. Standard doctors might use cortisone injections to handle it, but in natural therapy, we use a combo of urea and anti-inflammatory approaches instead.

Urea is a powerful diuretic and works wonders when there's dangerously high fluid pressure in the brain. Usually, people take about 20 grams of urea, two to five times a day.

There was even a life-threatening case involving a massive recurring brain tumor that vanished completely in just two hours after the patient received 256 ml of 30% urea. Martha Cristy (FutureMed, Inc., USA) documented this in Your Own Perfect Medicine. That report makes it crystal clear: what everyone thought was a tumor was actually just massive edema, which fits perfectly with the principles of New Medicine.

What Hamer calls an epileptic seizure might feel like a heart attack, a pulmonary embolism, hepatitis, or pneumonia to the patient. Truth be told, patients often feel way worse during the healing phase than they did while the tumor was actively growing.

During that first stretch of the healing phase, while the body is pumping out inflammatory hormones, most of the trouble comes from water retention, inflammation, and swelling, which can cause some serious pain. Whether it's happening in the brain or somewhere else, Hamer considers these edemas to be positive signs—they mean healing is happening.

Once the crisis passes, fungi and microbacteria step in to clear away adenocarcinomas, and even the hepatitis virus can actually help restore liver function. During this stage, the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that help break down tumors and rebuild tissue also cause inflammation, pain, and fever.

If it sounds weird to you that Hamer views microorganisms as "friends" helping to cure cancer, well, he stumbled onto something even more mind-blowing. In his ontogenetic system of tumors and cancer, he identifies two completely opposite processes occurring during the active conflict phase.

Depending on where the Hamer Herd is located in the brain, you’re looking at either a massive cell buildup or total cellular destruction. With the first group, cells start multiplying like crazy during the conflict phase—basically growing tumors—and then the body uses microorganisms to clean up all those extra cells once the healing phase kicks in. The second group is a different story; they cause cells to die off during the conflict stage, which leads to things like ulcers, necrosis, or even holes in tissue—think stuff like osteoporosis in the bones, or issues in the kidneys, spleen, or ovaries. During the healing phase, the body tries to fill those gaps by building new cells. Those areas of necrosis or bone breakdown get patched up by bacteria that create abscesses, which eventually fill with scar tissue, and later, regenerating tissue that can turn into things like osteosarcomas, lymphomas, fibromas, or transient cysts. Oh, and leukemia? That usually pops up during the healing phase too—kind of like how bone marrow gets wrecked by radiation, chemicals, or bone cancer.

According to Hamer, these situations are mostly self-limiting... they can really only spiral out of control if someone hits another conflict shock, if the body is just too old or worn down, or if conventional medicine meddles too much. On the flip side, natural healing methods are all about supporting both the body and the spirit through that rough patch. Most of the time, healing goes smoothly enough, but in maybe 10% of cases, you actually need full-on support from an experienced therapist—especially when you hit that intense healing crisis.

Dealing with psychological conflict... it’s a whole thing.

The bottom line in any cancer case is this: you’ve gotta track down that original emotional shock and make sure it’s actually dealt with—or at least healing. Honestly, in a ton of cases, the situation just resolves itself, and the patient ends up dealing with the aftermath of the healing phase. Like, say someone loses their farm or gets laid off, but they move on to a new career or a hobby in the meantime... everything seems fine on the surface. But then, as a side effect, a tumor might pop up that eventually goes dormant or starts breaking down. Around 40% of tumors found during routine checkups at places like the Mayo Clinic are actually old, harmless ones—basically just dormant or calcified stuff sitting there. Still, things can get messy if medical intervention triggers a whole new conflict-shock—you know, that sheer terror of death—which could end up fueling the growth of that same tumor, or even a totally different one...

In other cases, that original conflict might still be running in the background—or you could even be dealing with a brand-new one entirely. Since we can’t exactly see what’s going on under the hood, we really have to put some serious thought into how we dig up both the old stuff and any new triggers... It means doing some deep diving into the past, specifically looking at that window one to two years before the DHS onset. You've gotta dissect how you were actually feeling during that time, and even before and after it too. Honestly, things like meditation or regression therapy can be huge lifesavers when you're trying to track down those initial conflict shocks...

Look, if you’re still hitting a massive emotional wall every time you think about the root of a conflict, then yeah—it’s clearly not resolved yet. If you can actually deal with it, the best move is just to handle it the Natural Way. Like, if the whole mess started because you lost a partner, maybe find someone new... or if it was a child, maybe have another one (cancer stops growing after three months because pregnancy takes priority) or adopt. But honestly? It's not the new baby, the new partner, or even a puppy that actually does the work here. It’s about finally making peace with the loss, accepting it, and actually moving on with your life. If you can't wrap your head around that, none of those "replacements" are going to help you... though I guess a really good therapist might be able to nudge you in the right direction...

Look, if a natural solution isn't on the table right now—or if you just can't make it to a therapist's office—you can try guided visualization. You can fly solo or even grab a partner or a close friend to help you out... honestly, having someone there helps. Get yourself into that super relaxed, meditative headspace and then—this is the key part—revisit that conflict. Re-live it as intensely as you can, but here's the twist: you force a positive or desired outcome into the scene. You have to make this new version feel real. I mean *really* real. Visualize it, feel it, and if you can, actually hear it and smell it too... really lean into it. The thing is, that original traumatic experience probably left you with all these random little triggers—tiny details from the whole mess—that might be causing allergies for you now. You can try using the same visualization trick to shake those loose and finally let them go...

Look, if none of these methods actually work for you—maybe because life is just hitting you hard right now and you're stuck dealing with your usual grind or whatever chaos you're wading through—then honestly, leaning even deeper into spiritual understanding and just... accepting things as they are might be your only move. Just do me a favor and stay mindful of how vulnerable you're feeling right now. Try to steer clear of any new drama or sudden shocks to the system—but hey, if something unavoidable does go down... just make sure to flush it out of your system as fast as humanly possible...

Plus, I’m a firm believer that all this active conflict is gonna wrap up once we can actually feel deep down—like, truly feel it—that sense of love and forgiveness... and then, you know, actually project that energy outward toward everyone else. Especially those people we feel might have done us wrong in the first place. We could probably make the whole healing phase a little less brutal if we just went in expecting it to be quick and easy—expecting it to lead straight to a total recovery... though we all know how that goes...

So, according to Hamer, animals out in the wild deal with the exact same shock programs that we do—basically triggering cancer through those same biological loops... But here’s the kicker: like 80 to 90% of them actually pull through without us even noticing, because their healing phase just plays out naturally. The ones that don't make it? Usually, they're just older animals that can't resolve the conflict—think stuff like failing to reclaim territory from a rival or being unable to cope with losing a cub...

It’s just not like that in our society—mostly because we constantly mess with the body's natural ability to fix itself. It starts when people get handed sedatives or antidepressants right in the middle of an active conflict phase... which basically just leaves us too numb to fight back or defend our own territory. Then, you get hit with a cancer diagnosis that triggers even more stress and new conflicts, and before you know it, they're pumping you full of morphine, which completely shuts down any chance for our bodies to actually Heal...

Look, even if Ryke Geerd Hamer doesn't buy into the idea that eating clean, taking supplements, detoxing, or just living a "healthy lifestyle" can actually cure cancer, there's no denying they might be huge for surviving the absolute misery of the healing phase.

The whole deal is that Hamer argues all illnesses happen in two stages: first, you've got the active conflict, and then—if everything goes right—you hit the healing phase that basically cancels out the conflict program. He’s stopped calling them "diseases" entirely; he sees them as specific biological programs. He claims to have worked with over 31,000 patients, and apparently, every single one of those cases backed up his theories without exception. He says New Medicine has a 95% success rate at reversing cancer progression under perfect conditions... you know, if the conflict is resolved early, no new conflicts pop up, and conventional medicine doesn't get in the way. But let's be real—a lot of people dealing with advanced illness just can't resolve their conflicts, or they finally do it when it's already too late, which is why they don't see those positive results.

The persecution of Ryke Geerd Hamer

Even Siemens—yeah, the massive tech giant that makes CT scanners—independently proved that Hamer Herds exist in the brain. Plus, back in 1998, a university in Slovakia confirmed how much diagnostic weight those Hamer Herds actually carry. Despite all that, Hamer faced some seriously intense persecution.

Under certain legal frameworks, a doctor can lose their license if their mental state is deemed "compromised." So, in 1986, using that exact logic, a local court stripped Hamer of his medical license. Their "proof" that he was mentally unfit? Basically, the fact that he refused to deny his own theories and wouldn't swear fealty to orthodox medical principles. Talk about a rigged game...

To make matters even worse, the court found evidence that he just wasn't going to bow down to mainstream medicine—I mean, just a month before his trial, he was busy trying to convince a group of high-profile professors that his theories were legit! Then, a year later, the same court demanded a psychiatric evaluation of his mental capacity, which Hamer refused. And get this—without even meeting him in person, a court psychiatrist diagnosed Hamer as a psychopath!

In 1997, Hamer was arrested and thrown in jail for 18 months under some shady "natural therapy" law that was originally introduced during the Nazi era to target Romani people. His "crime"? Giving free health advice to people who asked for his opinion. The prosecutor didn't even hide it, openly stating that every possible means should be used to wipe Hamer out of society. Just compare that to the killer of his son, who had a trial dragged out for 13 years only to get a measly six-month suspended sentence. Maybe that light sentence had something to do with the guy being a Prince of Savoy, the son of the last King of Italy... but hey, that's just how the world works, I guess.

Since 1999, Hamer has been living out in Spain because the courts over in Germany, Austria, France, and Switzerland are all trying to come after him—apparently because some cancer patients passed away, supposedly because they followed his advice. According to this logic, Hamer is basically being branded a mass murderer just because he didn't steer people toward the "guaranteed" treatments offered by mainstream medicine... which is wild.

On top of that, prosecutors have slapped him with a civil lawsuit, demanding a massive pile of cash because he advised patients to skip chemo. Then there’s the case of little Olivia Pilhar—her parents actually got eight months of suspended jail time just because they briefly paused her chemo treatment. They even lost custody of her, and she was eventually forced into chemo against her will. Honestly, this kind of stuff can happen anywhere in the West. A mom I talked to in Australia recently told me that even though she didn't trust chemo and wanted to try natural therapies for her daughter's leukemia, she had to cave because her doctor threatened to drag her through the courts if she didn't comply.

Look, there isn't a single doctor in the world performing cancer therapy who hasn't had a patient die under their watch. Yet, even with advanced cases, Hamer's success rate is incredibly high. This whole witch hunt feels a lot like what happened to Semmelweis—he was tossed into a mental asylum and died at forty-seven just because he thought surgeons should wash their hands before operating.

Hamer has survived eight assassination attempts, yet the mainstream media in Germany keeps painting him as some kind of deranged criminal. And while plenty of doctors—even medical professors—have backed the principles of New Medicine, not a single German university has agreed to test them, despite the University of Tübingen being ordered by the courts to do exactly that.

It’s not just him, either; doctors and natural therapists across Europe who follow New Medicine are getting persecuted. In places like Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain, authorities are launching legal battles just to strip them of their licenses. These trials drag on for years. Only the courts in Spain have shown any sense, taking the enlightened stance that it's not their job to pick sides between conflicting medical theories and treatments.

I mean, you can kind of see why the establishment is freaking out—if New Medicine actually became widely accepted, it would basically spell the end for the entire medical-pharmaceutical complex.

Still, back in 2001, a prominent neurologist actually stepped up to defend Hamer, publishing a book on New Medicine and calling for his theories to be officially tested. Since Therese von Schwarzenberg also comes from high nobility, the mainstream media is totally tripping over themselves trying to figure out how to react. Up until now, they've only used Hamer as a punching bag, but now there's this famous figure claiming he's right and actually deserves a Nobel Prize!

Despite all that, the official line from big-shot oncologists remains that it's absolutely absurd to think emotions could be linked to the cause or treatment of cancer, so they insist Hamer's claims shouldn't even be investigated.

Examining Hamer's discovery

From everything I've seen and experienced, there's zero doubt in my mind that our feelings and beliefs play a massive role in how diseases start and how we heal. Plus, Hamer's work really gives off the vibe of a serious, meticulous researcher—his findings have even been backed by various scientific institutions and doctors, including professors. It seems like only the people who refuse to look at the evidence are the ones left accusing and labeling him.

So, I don't doubt his core assumptions: that certain diseases, especially cancer, are tied to visible tissue damage in specific parts of the brain, as well as specific psychological experiences. His idea about the two-part disease process—where the healing phase is essentially about reversing the original diseased state—is pretty much the foundation of natural therapies.

So, it looks like Dr. Hamer isn't exactly itching to expand or tweak his theory to account for other variables—classic. His whole vibe is based on this one-way street where the psyche talks to the organs via the brain. Personally? I’m betting there’s a two-way conversation happening here—from the psyche to the organ, AND from the organ back to the brain or psyche...

Let me try to break this down with an example. Get this: breast cancer mortality rates in China are roughly 1 in 10,000, compared to about 1 in 10 in most Western countries. Professor Jane Plant realized that unlike Western women or those living more "Westernized" lifestyles, Chinese women don't typically consume animal milk or dairy products. Back then, she was actually dealing with her fifth bout of breast cancer and was basically considered a lost cause. So, she decided to cut out all dairy entirely—and boom, her tumor vanished shortly after. She’s been cancer-free for 13 years now (check out *Your Life in Your Hands* by Jane Plant, published in the UK, 2000).

Since Chinese populations show normal rates for other types of cancer, there’s gotta be a specific factor driving this crazy low breast cancer rate. If we assume for a second that it really is the milk, here’s how I’d frame it.

Milk is loaded with IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor), which basically tells breast tissue to grow during puberty and pregnancy. You find IGF-1 in beef too, and it seems to drive other hormone-related cancers, like prostate cancer. If we assume this causes constant, low-level stimulation of the breast tissue and its corresponding brain region in women who eat dairy, we’re looking at two possibilities.

1. A woman's sensitized brain regions could trigger way more intense emotional reactions to conflicts involving kids or partners—which would explain why dairy consumers get breast cancer more often.

2. Or, there’s a subacute conflict situation or a past event still lurking in the subconscious. That long-term, combined stimulation from a subacute conflict plus the IGF-1 could lead to the gradual development of a Hamer Herd, or even a sudden appearance once a certain threshold is hit.

That way, you can actually factor in environmental triggers alongside psychological conflict treatment to explain how Hamer Herds form.

Most people out there have pretty terrible lifestyle habits right now—you could probably blame that on inheriting some subpar genes. It’s possible that truly healthy people just don't trigger Hamer Herds when they hit an unexpected emotional shock, or maybe if they do, it’s such a mild thing that their bodies just handle it on their own...

In the same vein, using the right kind of natural therapy—specifically targeting the affected organ—can send a signal to the corresponding part of the brain. This helps in healing the Hamer Herd and, eventually, leads to resolving that underlying psychological conflict too.

If you want proof that feelings, nutrients, the brain, and organs are all interconnected, you can look into kinesiology. Muscle testing has actually shown how certain nutrients and emotions link up with specific muscles and organs through the acupuncture meridian system.

The crazy part? The brain is directly involved. When a radioactive nutrient was placed at the back of the mouth, the isotope showed up in the brain within seconds.

My theory is that conflict resolutions can also happen in a more non-specific way. Like, say, a patient hits a massive conflict-shock after getting a cancer diagnosis. That shock—and potentially the original one—might actually resolve itself if the patient fully believes and expects that medical treatments will cure them. There are other possibilities mentioned in the "psychological conflict treatment" section, anyway.

If you're looking for Dr. Hamer's official English website, it's over at http://www.newmedicine.ca. But honestly, you'll find way more info on the German site http://www.pilhar.com, though it only has a small English section. Dr. Hamer has written a few books, including one available in English called Summary of The New Medicine.

Ugh, my bad—after all that massive copying and pasting, I just noticed they actually included links at the end. Hopefully, you guys don't mind since they’re just in English and German anyway...
Sending you all so much strength... 🙂

It just goes to show that doctors are full of it. My dad isn't going to kick the bucket in a few days like they say...
According to Hamer, he's already healed.🙄

I've watched a few segments on this specific theory, and believe me, you only need to listen to him for a couple of minutes to realize the man is absolutely out of his mind.😢

Look, nobody’s saying the guy is right, but as someone dealing with cancer myself, I feel like every study should be read—with a grain of salt, sure, depending on where you find it. My whole point with what I posted wasn't to say doctors are wrong, but rather that there's some truth to the idea regarding why certain diseases start in the first place. And once they *are* there? My God, you either fight it or you give up. It's a personal choice.

But here's another thing—doctors are just spinning their wheels when it comes to malignant stuff. Even chemo isn't a "cure," yet they use it anyway; it’s definitely no guarantee, especially if things have already progressed too far. That's why it drives me crazy how they just coldly dismiss alternative treatments and stay so incredibly conservative.
Believe me, I know people who were written off by MDs, and hey—they're still kicking. And I'm telling you, I truly believe stress plays a massive role in what happens inside our bodies.

Hello to everyone on the forum. About nine months ago, my father was diagnosed with squamous cell esophageal cancer. He has already undergone radiation and several rounds of chemotherapy. Recently, they discovered metastasis in his lungs, and now the doctors are suggesting either Taxol or Xelod. Here is the catch—these drugs aren't actually covered by insurance for this specific type of cancer; they are typically only prescribed for colon or breast cancer. The plan is for him to undergo three cycles of chemo to see if there's any response—though the success rate is only around 10-15%—and if it works, they continue, but if not, he’s essentially left to his own devices. Since he can't get them through his insurance, I would have to pay for them out of pocket. That would cost me roughly $5.00 just for those initial three cycles, and quite frankly, I don't have that kind of money lying around. Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Is there any way, any way at all, to access Taxol for free or perhaps through some kind of deferred payment plan? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

But here’s another reality: doctors are basically running in circles when it comes to malignant diseases. Chemotherapy isn't even a "cure," yet they push it anyway; it offers zero guarantees, especially if it's an advanced stage. That’s why it drives me absolutely insane when they coldly dismiss alternative healing methods just because they're being overly conservative.

Everything is a mess, but I totally agree with your last post.🙂

However, that "doctor" (if you can even call him that) you mentioned earlier? He is anything but!
Do you realize he was never even sick himself? He staged everything just to make people believe he could help them.
He used to source cheap medications from Russia and sell them to people for a fortune; I'm pretty sure we're talking about a little vial worth maybe $2 or $3 that he sold for thousands!
And there's so much more nonsense...
It makes my blood boil just hearing his name. Honestly, I'd tear him apart with my own teeth for all the children he caused to die!
Alternative medicine is one thing, but what he was doing had nothing to do with science—it wasn't even just about greed; it was a genuinely sick mind at work.
The worst part is, he's still doubling down on it.🙄

Amy Hayes28 said:Total garbage—I’m right there with you on that last post.🙂

But that "doctor"—if you can even call him that—you mentioned earlier? He is anything but!
Get this: he was never actually sick himself. He just staged the whole thing so people would think he could help them too.
He used to source cheap meds from overseas and flip them to people for insane amounts of money... I’m talking about an ampoule that cost maybe $2 or $3 and selling it for thousands!
And don't even get me started on all the other useless crap he pushed...
It drives me absolutely insane when his name comes up... honestly, I’d love to take him down myself for all the kids he basically killed!
Alternative medicine is one thing, but what he was doing had nothing to do with the brain—it wasn't even just about the profit, it was straight-up psychotic behavior.
The worst part? He’s still out there doubling down on it.🙄

Everything you wrote is spot on, and I couldn't agree more. The end of that study is pure sludge, but the beginning actually has enough smart points to make you stop and think.
Think about it—it’s terrifying when you go to a doctor, they give you a diagnosis, and then leave you totally clueless about why you’re even sick in the first place. That’s when you start looking inward, trying to find the connection to some shock or trauma you went through. In that sense, the opening part of the study actually makes sense.
To be honest, I haven't gone the alternative route myself—I've done everything by the book, chemo, radiation, the whole nine yards—but for people whom doctors tell is "too late," they'll grab onto any kind of alternative available.
Scammers are everywhere. Just like anything else, unfortunately, sickness—or rather, treating it—is one of the biggest industries out there. It's a racket for everyone involved. Doctors? Massive business.

In Germany, you can actually get Xelod on a private prescription from the US, but it’ll run you about $476.15 for 120 tablets of 500mg.
There are no payment plans or installments available.😢
As far as I know, the price for Taxol depends entirely on the dosage; I managed to find prices for the infusion solution ranging from ...to
Here is a link so you can check for yourself—these are the cheapest rates I could find!

Angela Wright said:Honey, you really are strong. Everything you’re feeling right now is genuinely healthy and natural. You're grieving, and that is a process; you’re likely reaching its peak right now, after which things will steadily improve. Life simply moves forward, carrying these hardships along, and you will find the strength to finally let your father rest in peace within you. He will live on in your memories until you meet again.
Now, just allow that grief to pour out of you. It will bring you immense peace and tranquility, and eventually, you’ll look back on your dad with joy. Try reflecting on the quality of his life rather than its length. For me, that perspective brings great peace and makes accepting my mother's illness easier. She had a beautiful life, filled with the love of family and friends, full of laughter, and she never had to walk through grief alone. Instead of asking "Why her?", I started asking "Why not her?"... she was a human being, and these things simply happen to people. If it hadn't been her, perhaps it would have been some other woman with a small child and no family support or love. You know, I actually realized God's mercy through things like this. We all have to leave this world eventually.

My grandmother raised me until I was six. I only saw my parents every other weekend because they were working in Chicago while I stayed with my grandma and grandpa in St. Louis. My grandmother was like a second mother to me, and every break from school, I traveled to be with her. She died practically in my arms. It was incredibly hard to accept, but everything unfolded exactly as I described. Often, I find myself remembering an anecdote about those who have passed and I actually start laughing.
Seriously, can dead people actually make you laugh?😉

😘Take care,

Dear, thank YOU and everyone else—thank you all for being here. Today was the first day that passed where I only realized this evening, upon arriving home, that for several hours almost the entire afternoon, I hadn't thought about my wonderful father once. You have every right to be proud of being his child... and he will forever be a part of me...
A little bit of good news... today I had a patient who, twenty years ago, underwent surgery for breast cancer with lymph node metastases—radiation, chemotherapy... and today, twenty years later, she is a healthy woman living as if nothing ever happened... and another patient from five years ago had lung cancer surgery and is doing perfectly fine... so there is hope, people... a positive outcome is always possible...

A little bit of good news... I had a patient today who had breast cancer surgery 20 years ago—lymph node involvement, radiation, chemo, the whole works... and today, 20 years later, she's a healthy woman living her life like nothing ever happened. And another patient from five years ago had lung cancer surgery and they're doing great too... so there's hope, people... a good outcome is always possible.

Dear Elizabeth Collins60, I'm trying to imagine how tough this is for you. Besides having breast cancer surgery myself three years ago, my mom went through the exact same thing last year. Honestly, I don't even know what to say to you—I felt lost when I was sick, and then when Mom got sick, it was even harder. She was my rock while I was fighting my own battle, so I couldn't even wrap my head around the idea of losing her. I understand your grief to an extent, though I can't fully grasp it since my mom is still alive and well, thank God. Over time, it gets easier. All those heavy situations and the memories of those awful moments caused by this disease will eventually feel like they happened in a different lifetime—all that'll be left are the beautiful memories and those precious moments that'll make you smile whenever you think of them. Sending you so much strength to get through these hardest days.
And yeah, there's always hope. We have to believe it, otherwise, what's the point? Hearing about that lady who was treated 20 years ago gave me even more hope... thank you!

Hi there,
I haven’t posted here in a little while—life has just been an absolute whirlwind of responsibilities lately. It has finally been confirmed that my mom is facing a Grade IV glioblastoma 😢, but honestly, I don't have the luxury of sitting around crying; I need to channel every ounce of my energy into fighting this disease. I could really use a bit of guidance. We managed to get our hands on some Iscador injections—specifically the 0.1 and 2 doses—but we haven't started the administration yet because the instructions are all in German, and my German is non-existent (I only know English)🙄 Could anyone please walk me through how to administer these to her? I would be incredibly grateful for any advice. On another note, my aunt is flying in from England soon, and she’s bringing a whole suitcase of supplements—everything she heard was helpful while checking with various pharmacies over there (pineapple root extract, shark cartilage, Q10, specialty oils, and things like that)

Just keep fighting. I still firmly believe that beating glioblastoma is possible😠
