The Austrian girl Olivia was six years of age when she began to suffer from a life-threathening Wilms' tumor (nefroblastoma). Olivia's parents of first consulted a female physician in Vienna (apparently Elisabeth Rozkydal). She enabled the contact to Ryke Geerd Hamer who was already barred at that time and was not in a posotion 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'' flatulences 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 could recover without any particular therapy. His 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 home 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 ''diagnozed'' an alleged ''liver-tumor'' and he thought that a traumatic event short time ago was the real cause of her alleged ''liver-cancer''. This is simply impossible and nonsense because a tumor needs years to build up, in children at least two years. Later Hamer diagnozed even ''brain-metastases'' and said that a chemotherapy would be fatal in 95% of all cases, creating much fear in the family.

Later Hamer even diagnosed ''brain metastases'' and claimed a chemotherapy would be fatal in 95% of all cases, creating much fear in the family.

The Austrian authorities finally had to remove their rights of care and control, and the parents fled from Austria first to Munich and later to Malaga (Spain, Hotel ''Las Vegas'' next to the home of Hamer in Alhaurin el Grande) with the child, beeing helped by four members of a religious sect (''Fiat Lux''). Hamer unsuccessfully treated the child using his new medicine and the tumor continued to grow. When Olivia left Austria, her tumor had a volume of 250 ml and grew up to 4,2 liters (size of a football) and she suffered much as the tumor exerted growing pressure on her tiny lungs so that she had to breath at a high frequency. Olivia and her parents were finally detected in Spain by the german press (Spiegel) and Hamer used this in a shameless way as an opportunity to make publicity for himself and his method. He asked the child to come to the beach for some pictures. After negotiations including the intervention of the Austrian president, the parents were persuaded to return to Austria after intervention of spanish police. The child was finally given emergency medical treatment in Vienna after a court order against the parents' wishes and is still alive today. The parents sold pictures of her child to the austrian press and sold the rights for a film for an amount of 500000 austrian Schillings. Her parents both received an eight-month suspended jail sentence in Austria in 1996 and 1997. The parents still support Hamer's method and have their own web site which explains the matter from their perspective. Austrian authorities could not accuse Hamer, because he left Austria to hide in Spain, but started investigations in 40 cases of former Hamer-patients who died in Austria. <ref>Austrian cancer patient's parents sentenced, in: lancet, 1996 Nov 23;348(9039):1440</ref> <ref>Martin Zimper, book: "Das Mädchen Olivia" ed.
