The New Medicine of Dr Hamer

by Walter Last

Dr Hamer had an exceptionally high success rate with his cancer therapy, by
far the highest I have seen of any therapy. During one of several trials of
the persecuted Dr Hamer the public prosecutor (Wiener-Neustadt in Austria) had
to admit that after 4 to 5 years 6,000 out of 6,500 patients with mostly advanced
cancer were still alive. That is over 90%, almost a reversal of the results
to be expected after conventional treatment of advanced conditions.

Dr Hamer started his cancer research when he developed testicle cancer after
his son was shot dead. He wondered if his son’s death was the cause of
his cancer. Subsequently he investigated and documented over 15,000 cases of
cancer and always found the following characteristics to be present, which he
termed the Iron Rules of Cancer.

*The Iron Rules of Cancer*

1. Every cancer and related disease starts as a DHS that is a

Dirk Hamer Syndrome, which is a serious, acute-dramatic and

isolating conflict-shock-experience. It manifests simultaneously

on three levels, psyche, brain and organ.

2. The theme of the psychic conflict determines the location of the focus or
HAMER Herd in the brain, and the location of the cancer in the organ.

3. The course of the psychic conflict correlates with the development of the
HAMER Herd in the brain, and the course of the cancer in the organ.

At the moment of the conflict-shock a short circuit occurs in a pre-determined
place of the brain. This can be photographed with computed-tomography (CT) and
looks like concentric rings on a shooting target or like the surface of water
after a stone has been dropped into it. Later on, if the conflict becomes resolved,
the CT image changes, an edema develop, and finally scar tissue.

How specific and precisely located these brain lesions are may be seen from
the following. After a professional lecture a doctor handed him the brain CT
of a patient and asked to explain it. From this Dr Hamer diagnosed the patient
to have a fresh bleeding bladder carcinoma in the healing phase, an old prostate
carcinoma, diabetes, an old lung carcinoma and sensory paralysis in a specific
area, in addition to the corresponding emotional conflicts.

Amazingly, Dr Hamer was able to show that at the same time as the concentric
brain lesion appears also the target organ CT may show such a concentric lesion.
According to Dr Hamer this happens instantly when the psychic shock hits the
subconscious level and this same second is the start of cancer. However, also
other diseases can be caused by the same mechanism. How severe a disease becomes
may depend on other psychological, energetic and nutritional factors but its
nature and location are determined by the content of the conflict shock.

Hamer believes that the correlation between key emotional shock events, the
target brain areas and the related organs has developed as an adaptation of
our human evolution from similar programs in the animal world. When we unexpectedly
experience emotional distress, an emergency repair program is set in motion,
a biological conflict program with the aim of returning the individual to normal.
Such programs can even apply to families or other groups.

Hamer gives the following example. A mother sees her child in a bad accident.
In evolutionary terms small children recover faster when they receive extra
milk. Therefore, the biological conflict program tries to stimulate milk production
by increasing the number of breast cells. If the mother is right-handed, that
will instantly cause the appearance of a Hamer Herd in a specific part of her
right brain, which in turn relates to the left breast. When the child is well
again, conflict resolution begins and extra milk is no longer needed. The mother
gets a benign form of tuberculosis in that breast which breaks up the excess
breast cells. However, if the mycobacteria required for this are lacking, then
the area may just calcify and remain as a dormant tumor.

The same process applies also to animals. A sheep that loses its lamb to a
wolf is prone to develop teat cancer; the side depends on whether it is right
or left footed. However, commonly the sheep resolves this conflict by bearing
another lamb.

The following example may illustrate the original survival value of this mechanism.
Lets assume a lion chases an antelope. The antelope must immediately mobilize
all its resources to survive. The sympathetic nervous system takes over and
in addition a specific brain center becomes active that stimulates lung activity.
After the successful escape the animal rests and the parasympathetic nervous
system becomes dominant for a while to normalize body functions.

If instead a human gets a cancer diagnosis, even if the diagnosis is wrong,
the same biological program is set in motion by the same fear of death that
helped the animal to escape. The stress level jumps and the brain-lung connection
is activated but now there is nowhere to run.

Until the conflict is resolved, which may take years, there will be constant
stress as well as brain-induced stimulation of lung activity, which now takes
the form of increasing lung capacity by the incessant division of cells.

This process can only be stopped by switching off the trigger in the brain
through defusing the original conflict shock. This happens when the patient
subsequently has surgery or natural therapy, which he or she fully believes
will lead to a cure. However, the same procedure in a patient who has doubts
about its effectiveness will leave the conflict unresolved and the disease to
progress. Thanks to Dr Hamer’s work, this is no longer just an unsubstantiated
assumption but rather scientific fact that can be verified anytime with a CT
brain scan.

The selection of the conflict focus occurs by subconscious association.

For instance biological conflicts involving water but also other fluids, such
as milk or oil, lead to kidney cancer, fear of death to lung cancer and psychologically
swallowing a bigger chunk then we can digest to stomach or intestinal cancer.

Originally, in the animal world, it really was a big chunk of food, but for
us it may be a financial over-commitment or any other obligation that we have
taken on and cannot fulfill. However, the target focus is not determined by
the event itself, but rather by the psychological significance that it has for
us at the time of the event.

Hamer illustrates this with another example, a woman who finds her husband
in bed with another female. As a sexual frustration conflict it causes uterus
cancer. If she instead experiences it as a partner conflict, then in a right-handed
woman it leads to cancer of the right breast. If the conflict feeling is fear
and revulsion then it causes hypoglycemia and with lack of self-worth cancer
may develop in the pubic bone.

If the lack of self-worth had been due to a failure in sportsmanship rather
than being sexually related, then the problem would have arisen in an arm or
leg instead or possibly in the fingers or shoulder.

Other typical situations that may lead to biological conflicts are loss situations,
loss of a loved one, of a job, a valued possession or a territory.

Dr Hamer believes that most metastases or secondary tumors are caused by the
cancer-fear or death-fear resulting from the patient given the cancer diagnosis
or a negative prognosis. However, also in this case the resulting conflict shock
may not be fear of death but rather anger, resentment or a separation conflict
from partner or children and then tumors would appear in different places. Also
a diagnosis of colon cancer commonly leads to liver cancer because of a subconscious
fear of starvation.

Generally hopelessness, despair and meaninglessness create chronic stress,
which prevent the healing from cancer and other diseases but they are not the
cause. According to Hamer the real cause of cancer and other diseases is an
unexpected traumatic shock for which we are emotionally unprepared. The following
list shows some of the relationships between conflict emotions and target organs.

Adrenal cortex - Wrong direction, gone astray

Bladder - Ugly conflict, dirty tricks

Bone - Lack of self-worth, inferiority feeling

Breast milk gland - Involving care or disharmony

Breast milk duct - Separation conflict

Breast, left (right-handed) - Conflict concerning child, home, mother

Breast, right (right-handed) - Conflict with partner or others

Bronchials - Territorial conflict

Cervix - Severe frustration

Colon - Ugly indigestible conflict

Esophagus - Cannot have it or swallow it

Gall Bladder - Rivalry conflict

Heart - Perpetual conflict

Intestines - Indigestible chunk of anger

Kidneys - Not wanting to live, water or fluid conflict

Larynx - Conflict of fear and fright

Liver - Fear of starvation

Lung - Fear of dying or suffocation, including fear for someone else

Lymph glands - Loss of self-worth associated with the location

Melanoma - feeling dirty, soiled, defiled

Middle ear - Not being able to get some vital information

Mouth - Cannot chew or hold it

Pancreas - Anxiety-anger conflict with family members, inheritance

Prostate - Ugly conflict with sexual connections or connotations

Rectum - Fear of being useless

Skin - Loss of integrity

Spleen - Shock of being physically or emotionally wounded

Stomach - Indigestible anger, swallowed too much

Testes and Ovaries - Loss conflict

Thyroid - Feeling powerless

Uterus - Sexual conflict

The conflicts for some other diseases are as follows:

Diabetes and hypoglycemia: A right-handed female develops hypoglycemia

from anxiety and revulsion, if left-handed she develops

insulin-dependent diabetes. A right-handed male develops

insulin-diabetes from a conflict of resisting or struggling against

something, if left-handed he develops hypoglycemia.

*Heart infarct: *fight for territory or its content.

*Hemorrhoids:* both, a right-handed woman with an identity conflict and also
a left-handed man with territorial anger in the healing phase will get hemorrhoids.

*Multiple sclerosis *and* Paralysis:* inability to escape or continue on or
to hold on to or not knowing what to do.

*Facial paralysis:* fear of losing face, having been made a laughing stock.

*Psoriasis* involves separation conflict concerning mother, father, family,
home, friends or pets.

*Psychoses *of all kinds have one or more active Hamer Herds in each of the
two parts of the brain.

Vitiligo, Leukoderma: ugly or brutal separation conflict.

In regard to *AIDS* Dr Hamer observes that no one ever died of AIDS

without having previously been told that they are HIV positive or

believe that they are. The implication is that just as with cancer, it

is the negative perception associated with AIDS that causes its

devastating effect.

Left-handed individuals develop problems on opposite sides to genuine

right-handed individuals. Handedness can be tested by observing which

hand is on top when clapping; this is the leading hand. With

right-handedness all muscles at the right side of the body are involved

with partners and possibly other individuals and all left-sided muscles

with children or the own mother. These conditions may change with

hormonal changes as with the birth control pill or menopause.

The Healing Phase

The start of a DHS or conflict-shock experience is different from other

conflicts that we experience in our daily lives. It causes a continuous

stress resulting in a tendency to develop cold hands and feet, lack of

appetite and weight loss, sleeplessness and dwelling all the time on the

conflict content. If the conflict does not become resolved soon, the

long-lasting stress will lead to specific symptoms and the development

of cancer or another disease.

When the conflict resolves, the patient is no longer occupied with the

conflict content, the appetite returns, hands are warm again and also

normal sleep returns, but there may also be weakness, fatigue and a need

to rest. These effects show that the parasympathetic nervous system is

now in control. This is the beginning of the healing phase, which can be

long and difficult.

During the first part of the healing phase we see water retention and

inflammations but the tumor stops growing. This eventually leads to a

healing crisis, which Hamer calls an epileptic or epileptoid crisis

because it is caused by an edema in the Hamer Herd brain lesion. It

shows unique symptoms for each illness.

After this the body starts to expel the accumulated water, the patient

gradually regains strength and body functions become normal. Now the

connective tissue in the brain, the glia, starts repairing the Hamer

Herd. This may be interpreted by conventional radiologists as a

fast-growing brain tumor and treated accordingly. Hamer writes that real

brain tumors do not exist, as nerve cells in the brain cannot divide.

Hamer estimates that 99% of brain events, such as strokes, bleeding into

the brain, cysts and tumors are due to healing events of Hamer Herds and

with this temporary and self-limiting unless there is inappropriate

medical intervention. The most important support in these situations is

the reduction of any brain edema.

During the healing crisis the patient may for a short time re-experience

the original psychological conflict with cold hands and cold sweat. This

serves to suppress and eliminate the edema in the brain lesion, which

then allows other body conditions to normalize. The main danger point is

just before the end of the healing crisis when it will become apparent

if the body is strong enough to eliminate the disease. In difficult

cases with long or strong conflict duration massive brain edema may

develop for which Hamer uses cortisone injections. In natural therapy we

use an assortment of urea and anti-inflammatory therapies instead.

Urea has strong diuretic properties and an excellent effect in cases of

dangerously high fluid pressure in the brain. Generally 20 g of urea are

used 2 to 5 times daily. One life-threatening case has been described of

a massive “brain tumor” re-growth that completely disappeared within
2

hours after receiving 256 ml of 30% urea (described in /Your Own Perfect

Medicine/ by Martha Christy, Future Med). This report clearly shows that

the presumed brain tumor in fact was a massive edema as postulated in

the New Medicine.

What Hamer calls the epilepsy crisis may be experienced by the patient

as a heart attack, lung embolism, hepatitis or a lung infection.

Generally, during the healing phase, the patient will have more

discomfort than when the tumor was actively growing. In the first part

of the healing phase most problems are due to water retention,

inflammations and swelling of tissues that can cause a lot of pain.

Hamer regards edema, whether found in the brain or in an organ, as

positive, a sign of healing.

Tissue Repair

After the healing crisis adeno-carcinomas are removed by fungi and

mycobacteria while hepatitis virus may in addition help to regenerate

the liver. At this stage, bacteria, viruses and fungi that help to break

down the tumors and repair damaged tissues also cause inflammation, pain

and fever.

If you find it odd that Hamer regards microbes as essential friends and

helpers in the healing of cancer, he has made an even more surprising

discovery. In his ontogenetic system of tumors and cancer equivalent

diseases he distinguishes between two opposite processes during the

active conflict phase. Depending on the location of the Hamer Herd in

the brain, there may be either cell proliferation or cell destruction.

The first group has cell proliferation and tumor growth during the

conflict phase and then removes excess cells with the help of microbes

during the healing phase. The other group causes cell destruction during

the conflict phase resulting in ulcers, necroses and tissue holes

affecting for instance bones (osteoporosis), kidneys, spleen or ovaries.

During the healing phase, this second group tries to fill in the created

holes through cell proliferation. Tissue necroses and osteolyses

(dissolved bone) are now repaired by bacteria that first form abscesses,

which are then filled in with scar tissue and later with granulating

tissue to form osteosarcoma, lymphoma, fibroma and healing cysts. Also

leukemia commonly occurs during the healing phase, as after bone marrow

damage from radiation, chemicals or bone cancer.

According to Hamer these conditions are generally self-limiting and only

get out of control when additional conflict shocks occur or the body is

too old or weak or through the methods of conventional medicine. In

contrast, natural healing methods aim to support body and mind during

this trying time. Most healings proceed without major problems, but

about 10% need the full support of an experienced therapist, especially

at the time of the healing crisis.

*Healing the Psychic Conflict*

* *

The main task in every case of cancer is to find the original emotional

shock experience and make sure that it has been healed or is being

healed. In many case it will have corrected itself and the patient

suffers from an effect of the healing phase.

For instance, someone may have lost a farm or business but has now

started another satisfying venture or hobby. As after-effect there may

now be a tumor that gradually becomes dormant or eventually

disintegrates. About 40% of tumors discovered during routine medical

investigations are said to be old and harmless, that is dormant and

calcified. However, complications may still arise if medical

intervention now instills a fear of death conflict shock that induces

the same or another tumor to grow.

Nevertheless, in other cases the original conflict may still be active

or there may be a second active conflict. As we do not know, we have to

probe in every case to find the original and any other conflicts. We

need to think back, especially one to two years before our problem

started and analyze our emotional history during this time as well as

before and after. Also meditation and regression therapy may be useful

to discover conflict shocks.

If we still have a strong emotional response when we discover the

content of the conflict, then we can be sure that it is still

unresolved. If at all possible it is best to solve it in a natural way.

For instance if it was caused by losing a partner, then find someone

new; if you lost a child, become pregnant again or adopt a child or buy

a pet. Cancer does not continue to grow after the third month as

pregnancy has priority.

If a natural solution is not possible, then use guided imagery either on

your own or with the help of a partner or a suitable therapist. In a

relaxed and meditative state re-create and re-experience the conflict as

intensely as you can but then substitute a desirable or acceptable

outcome. Create and experience this new outcome as vividly and detailed

as possible, see it, feel it and possibly even hear and smell it. The

original experience may also have imprinted you with the memories of

unrelated details of your ordeal (tracks) to which you may now react

with allergies. You may try to overcome these in the same way with

guided imagery.

If neither of these methods is possible because you feel that you have

to continue your present duties or ordeal for whatever reason, then only

increased spiritual understanding and acceptance may be able to help. In

either case, be aware of your vulnerabilities and avoid any further

conflict shocks but if one does happen, get it out of your system is

soon as possible.

In addition, I firmly believe that all active conflicts will be

terminated and the healing phase begin when we are able to strongly feel

love and forgiveness within ourselves and then radiate it to all others

but especially to anyone who we feel might have wronged us. We can

further ease the healing phase by expecting it to be short and mild and

lead to full recovery.

It is my perception that full recovery requires a two step program to

heal this conflict. The first step involves appropriately expressing the

emotional shock experience. When losing a loved one, this means feeling

and expressing the inner grief or sadness; when losing a job, asset, or

business, this means feeling and expressing the anger, frustration, or

disappointment felt at the time. The second step involves repairing the

external damage, such as finding another partner, pet, job, business or

hobby.

According to Hamer, animals in the wild get cancer from the same shock

programs as we do. However, 80 to 90% survive and do not notice much

because the healing phase can take its natural course. Those that die

are mainly old animals that cannot resolve a conflict, such as regaining

their territory from a rival or replacing a lost cub.

It is different in our society as the natural healing process is

routinely interfered with. It starts with getting tranquilizers or

antidepressants during the active conflict phase, which prevent us from

fighting back and regaining our territory. This may then lead to a

cancer diagnosis that causes an additional active conflict and ends with

morphine, which totally disables our healing responses.

While Hamer does not believe that health foods, remedies, cleansing or

healthy living in general can cure cancer, these certainly can be

important in order to survive the ordeals of the healing phase.

Actually, Hamer regards all diseases as consisting of two phases,

initially with active conflict followed (if possible) by a healing phase

that reverses the conflict program. He does not call them diseases

anymore but rather special biological programs. In all he is stated to

have worked with over 31,000 patients and found his theories confirmed

in every single case without exception. Hamer claims that overall the

New Medicine has a 95% success rate with cancer.

Persecution

Siemens, the manufacturers of the CT equipment have independently

verified the existence of the Hamer Herds in the brain. Furthermore,

their diagnostic significance was confirmed in 1998 at the University of

TRNAVA in Slovakia. Nevertheless, Dr Hamer faced exceptional persecution.

Under German law the right to practice medicine can be withdrawn if the

doctor has diminished mental abilities. This law was used in 1986 by a

German district court to withdraw his right to practice. As proof of

Hamer’s inadequate mental condition the court stated that he was not

wiling to retract his theories and swear allegiance to the principles of

orthodox medicine. Even worse, the court had discovered evidence that he

was incapable of converting back to the principles of orthodox medicine:

he tried to convince a group of prominent professors of the correctness

of his theories only one month before the court case! One year later the

same court requested a psychiatric assessment of his mental abilities,

which Hamer refused. A court-appointed psychiatrist, without ever seeing

him, diagnosed him anyway as being a psychopath.

In 1997 Dr Hamer was arrested and jailed for 18 months under an obscure

natural therapy law introduced under Adolf Hitler to suppress Gypsies.

His crime was that he had given free health advice to some individuals

who had asked him for his opinion. The public prosecutor had openly

stated that all means must be used to remove Hamer from society. Compare

this to a delay of the court case for 13 years and then a sentence of

only 6 months on probation for the killer of his son. This mild sentence

may have something to do with the accused being the Prince of Savoy, the

son of the last King of Italy.

Since 1999 Dr Hamer lives in Spain because courts in Germany, Austria,

France and Switzerland now want to try him for any cancer patient who

died following his advice. According to this reasoning he is a mass

murderer because he denied cancer patients the supposedly safe and

effective treatment offered by orthodox medicine. There is also a

private court case pending against him for a large sum of money because

he advised a patient against having chemotherapy. This means that every

medical practitioner is now on notice to offer chemotherapy or face

financial ruin. This witch-hunt has been compared to the fate of Dr

Semmelweis who at the age of 47 died in a mental asylum for suggesting

that surgeons wash their hands before operations.

Dr Hamer survived 8 assassination attempts, and the mass media in

Germany treat him as a deranged criminal. While many individual doctors,

including professors of medicine, have verified the principles of the

New Medicine, so far no German university has agreed to test them,

despite a court order that the University of Tubingen conduct such tests.

Also doctors and natural therapists in Europe who practice according to

the principles of the New Medicine face persecution. In Austria,

Belgium, France, Germany and Spain authorities had started proceedings

against such doctors to take away their right to practice. Court cases

have been going on for years. Only courts in Spain adopted the

enlightened position that it was not their role to decide between

conflicting medical theories and therapies. This vicious response of the

establishment is understandable because widespread knowledge and

application of the New Medicine would mean the end of the

medical-pharmaceutical complex.

However, in 2001 a prominent neurologist openly defended Dr Hamer by

publishing a book about the New Medicine and demanding that his theories

be officially tested. Because Dr Therese von Schwarzenberg also belongs

to the high nobility, the mass media are in a bind on what position to

take on this. Until now they have only reported about Dr Hamer in the

most derogative ways and here is now that high profile personality who

claims that Hamer is right and deserves a Nobel Price! Nevertheless, the

official response of prominent oncologists still remains that it is

totally absurd to assume emotions could be important in the cause and

cure of cancer and, therefore, Dr Hamer’s claims must not be tested.

Comment

* *

My own understanding and experience leave no doubt about the primary

importance of our emotions and beliefs in the cause and cure of our

diseases. Furthermore, the writings of Dr Hamer give the impression of a

serious and meticulous researcher whose findings have been confirmed by

various scientific institutions and medical practitioners, including

professors of medicine. Only those continue to denounce him who refuse

to look at his evidence.

Therefore I have no doubt about the validity of his basic premise,

namely that specific diseases and in particular cancers are associated

with visible lesions in specific locations of the brain as well as

specific psychological experiences. His postulated two-part disease

process in which the healing phase is a reversal of the original disease

conditions is a basic concept of natural therapies.

However, Dr Hamer appears reluctant to consider extending or modifying

his theory to take other possibilities into account. Basically Dr Hamer

postulates a one-way communication from psyche to organ via the brain. I

suggest instead a two-way communication from psyche to organ as well as

from organ back to brain and psyche.

I like to explain this on an example. I understand that the rate of

death from breast cancer in China is one in 10,000 compared to about one

in 10 in most Western countries. Professor Jane Plant realized that

unlike western and westernised women, the Chinese do not use animal milk

or related products. At this stage she had the fifth occurrence of her

breast cancer and had been given up to die. As soon as she avoided all

milk products her tumour disappeared and for 13 years she is now free of

cancer (/Your Life in Your Hands/ by Jane Planet, published Virgin, UK

2000).

As the Chinese have normal rates of some other cancers, there needs to

be a special factor that causes these low breast cancer rates. Assuming

that it really is milk, I would apply the following reasoning.

Milk is high in insulin growth factor, IGF-1, which stimulates breast

tissue to grow during puberty and pregnancy. IGF-1 is also present in

the meat of dairy cows and apparently also stimulates other

hormone-related cancers, including prostate cancer. Assuming that this

causes constant low-level stimulation of breast tissue and the related

brain area in milk-drinking or dairy-consuming women, there are now 2

possibilities.

1. The sensitized brain areas will cause the woman to have a much

stronger emotional response than normal to any child or partner

conflict, and this causes milk-drinking women to develop more

frequent breast cancers.

2. The second possibility is an existing sub-acute conflict situation

or past event that is still subconsciously active. The persistent

combined stimulation by a sub-acute conflict in addition to IGF-1

may cause the /gradual/ development of a Hamer Herd or

alternatively its sudden appearance when a certain threshold is

reached.

In this way any environmental factors can be taken into consideration

for creating Hamer Herds in combination with psychological conflicts.

Most people presently have a very unhealthy lifestyle in addition to a

poor quality of inherited genes. It may well be that really healthy

individuals will not develop a Hamer Herd in response to an unexpected

emotional shock or that it will be a mild and self-healing event.

In a similar way may appropriate natural therapy directed to a diseased

organ give a message to the associated brain area that helps healing the

Hamer Herd, and in time also leads to a resolution of the emotional

conflict.

A confirmation of the suggested interconnectedness between emotions,

nutrients, brain and organs can be found in kinesiology. Research in

muscle testing has revealed a relationship between different nutrients

and emotions with specific muscles and organs transmitted through the

system of acupuncture meridians. However, a surprising finding was the

direct involvement of the brain. When an isotopically labeled nutrient

was placed in the back of the mouth within seconds the isotope was also

detected in the brain.

I suggest that conflict resolution may also happen in unspecific ways.

Assuming a patient receives a conflict shock due to a diagnosis of

cancer, then this conflict but possibly also the original conflict shock

may possibly be resolved if the patient fully believes and expects that

the subsequent treatment will be curable. Other possibilities have been

suggested under the heading /Healing the Psychic Conflict/.

The official English-language website of Dr Hamer is at

www.newmedicine.ca <http://www.newmedicine.ca/>. However, much more

information is on the German website www.pilhar.com

<http://www.pilhar.com/>. Dr Hamer has written several books of which


one is available in English under the title /Summary of the New Medicine/.
