− | Some time after the death of his son Dirk Hamer (see his [[Ryke Geerd Hamer (english)|biography]]), he began to believe, that any disease, most notably cancer, is not dangerous in itself, but merely a biological symptom of a psychological conflict situation that he calls biological conflict. The loss of his son Dirk led Hamer to invent his "New Medicine" in autumn 1981, while living in Germany. According to Hamer, the shock of the death of his son caused him to develop testicular cancer within two month after the event and to cause breast cancer in his wife Sigrid. His wife was cured by Hamer and was his first patient, she died however in 1985 after having refused any conventional cure by modern medicine. | + | Some time after the death of his son Dirk Hamer (see his [[Ryke Geerd Hamer|biography]]), he began to believe, that any disease, most notably cancer, is not dangerous in itself, but merely a biological symptom of a psychological conflict situation that he calls biological conflict.
