She had taken a three year training course in New Medicine in Aulla (Liguria). In 2004, she was aware of a suspicious histological diagnostic result, but strictly refused any medical intervention, believing solely in New Medicine. She also refused any further diagnostic procedures. She left her job as a chemist and became a Tai-Chi teacher. She was in contact with a local physiotherapist (P. P.<ref>name is known</ref>) in Bergamo and the president of GNM association ALBA, Marco Pfister. According to her relatives, she talked to Pfister on the phone almost every day (Pfister has no known medical degree or license). In June 2007, her breast cancer was growing and she started to suffer more and more. In August, she developed an icterus, her skin took on a yellow colour. Marco Pfister told her this was a symptom of recovery, and her yellow skin in reality was caused by her anger not to be able to visit Ischia island during her holidays where she had rented a vacation house. An operation was only of use for ''esthetic reasons'', Pfister advised. Her left breast meanwhile showed several large tumours. On August 27, she was admitted to a local hospital (Ospedali Riuniti di Bergamo) as an emergency case and received a blood donation. There were several metastases in her body. In the afternoon of August 28, she died after days of horrible pain.<ref>article in newspaper Libero September 29, 2007</ref><ref>http://www.libero-news.it/libero/LF_showArticle.jsp?edition=&topic=4921&idarticle=87528124</ref> | | Mrs. Maresa T.
