Since the invention of [[Germanic New Medicine]] by former physician [[Ryke Geerd Hamer]], a large number of '''victims of his particular method''' have been documented in court documents, newspaper articles and have been reported by former patients and their relatives as well as by former associates and nurses working in his practices or clinics. The total number of victims of this method in and outside of Germany exceeds 140 (148 according to the ''Aribert Deckers - List'' at the beginning of 2008). Eleven patients only died in Italy. And no documented case of a succesful cancer treatment according to the principles of New Medicine has been documented so far.

Austrian girl Olivia was six years of age when she began to suffer from a life-threathening Wilms' tumor (nefroblastoma). Olivia's parents first consulted a female physician in Vienna (apparently Elisabeth Rozkydal). She enabled a contact to Ryke Geerd Hamer who was already barred at that time and not in a position 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'' flatulence 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 would recover without any particular therapy. He 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 ''diagnosed'' an alleged ''liver tumor'' and thought a traumatic event occuring short time before was the real cause of this tumour. This is simply impossible and nonsense because a tumor needs years to develop, in children at least two years. Later Hamer even diagnosed ''brain metastases'' and claimed chemotherapy was fatal in 95% of all cases, creating much fear in the family.
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.

Austrian authorities finally revoked their rights to child custody, and the parents fled with their child from Austria, first to Munich and later to Malaga (Spain, Hotel ''Las Vegas'' next to Hamer's house in Alhaurin el Grande), being aided and abetted by four members of a religious sect (''Fiat Lux''). Hamer unsuccessfully treated the child using his New Medicine, and the tumor continued to grow.

The German artist Michaela Jakubczyk-Eckert was born November 14, 1964 and died suffering enormously on November 12, 2005 just a few days prior to her birthday.
She began to suffer from breastcancer (right breast) at the end of 2000 and did not seek medical help earlier than one year later, by the end of 2001. She first began a conventional therapy but changed her mind to try Hamer's New Medicine, after having seen information about this method in the internet. Together with her mother she went to Spain to consult Hamer. As far as her husband Gilbert remembers, Hamer diagnosed a ''partner conflict'' as she developed cancer on her right side and was right-handed. Always according to Gilbert's memory, Hamer told her to stop any conventional cure immediately and advised to refuse a planned operation. When Hamer was asked how much they had to pay, he requested them to buy two of his books at a price of 150,- Euro.

After her return to Germany, Mrs Jakubczyk-Eckert stopped any conventional cure and instead was assisted by a so-called ''study-group'' of New Medicine near her home until her health deteriorated considerably, forcing her to go to a centre of palliative medicine in Cologne (Hospiz Lohmar). She suffered extreme pain and did not use any analgetic drug at that time. Rules of new medicine forbid the use of strong analgetic drugs like morphine. The nurses at the Hospiz Lohmar were horrified and declared to witnesses they had never seen another patient suffering as badly as her until her death.

Sören Wechselbaum was 35 years of age in 2002 when he began to suffer from testicular cancer. According to his mother Christa Wechselbaum, her son was a strict follower of New Medicine until the day before his death, and refused any help or therapy by conventional medicine. Testicular cancer, However, is one of the cancers we know can be cured very successfully by modern medicine, the prognosis is around 90% today. Ryke Geerd Hamer himself also suffered from testicular cancer in 1979, preferred to be cured by conventional medicine and is still alive (in 2008 28 years later). Sören on the other hand died, and one day before his death he admitted he commited an error prefering New Medicine. He said so to a close friend. His mother is one of the strictest opponents of Hamer's New Medicine in Germany organizing public demonstrations.

She eventually died at the age of 33. Together with her boyfriend Erik, she was known for a follower of New Medicne and therefore refused any conventional medical treatment.
Instead, she seeked help with a German ''Heilpraktiker'' (naturopath). Carmen went to Hamer who was already barred at that time and lived in Spain. Hamer received Carmen and performed an allegedly ''successful'' so-called ''conflictolysis'' according to the rules of New Medicine. The Heilpraktiker promised her a recovery without any further cure, without a radiation therapy or operation. She only had to ''resolve her conflicts'' he said and in that case, her cancer was simply going to disappear. But Carmen suffered a stroke (a typical complication in cancer) which, however, was considered an ''epileptoid crisis'' according to New Medicine-speak. She then received cures in an amateurish way as she was given sugar-containing drinks, and ice to cool her head. Her breast cancer, however, was not influenced by these manoeuvers and she started to suffer from increasing nausea. Her tumor caused several metastases, advanced to her back and caused much pain. At the beginning of February 2005, a public forum message announced her death caused by breast cancer. She died perhaps much earlier, in summer 2004, as she ceased to contribute to the NGM-forum at that date. Many other messages related to her death were deleted by the administrators of that forum, but external observers had carefully recorded them in time. A discussion of this case was obviously not wanted in that forum. The Heilpraktiker could not be sued successfully and his identity is still unknown.

Instead, she beleived in Hamer's New Medicine. Persons from the local Hamer-scene told her the tumor was a ''sign of a self-healing'' process and that she a final recovery needed time. But nevertheless she died June 6, 2000 suffering extremely, as her mother Rose-Laure Huber reports. A description of her terrible situation a few days before her death can be seen here: <ref>..''Sie war nur noch ein Skelett mit Haut überzogen, ein paar Büscheln Haaren. Sie sah aus wie 90.

==still not identified man called Aldo (Italy 2006)==
In December 2006, an young Italian male admirer and supporter of New Nedicine /nuova medicine germanica) by the name of Aldo died of cancer in the town of Bergamo (Italy). His identity is still unknown, but many facts are known from different sources permitting to describe this case. Aldo was known for a Hamer supporter and was active in an Italian internet-forum where supporters and critics meet and exchange opinions (Meet-up forum of Italian comedian and political activist Beppe Grillo). In this forum he was active with the nick of ''Ali Baba'', this has been revealed by a close friend of his (G.) who wants to keep her name secret. In his messages (recorded and saved, but also still visible) he shows a sort of blind trust in the New Medicine. It is still a mystery who introduced him to this method. Some people were shocked reading his messages as he also in public said he had cancer. But nobody wanted to advise him to seek competent medical help. On September 20, 2006 he reported to have a tumor; he used the expression ''cancer''. He announced he did not want any medical help. On October 2, he began to express weak doubts in New Medicine and he considered to try the method of a former Italian physician [[Tullio Simoncini]] who believes the fungus candida albicans to be the real cause of all cancer which can be healed by a primitive sodium-bicarbonate-cure (this physician was already barred and convicted like Hamer at that time). On November 24, he reported a large tumor in his belly that caused internal bleedings and a short emergency recovery at a hospital in Bergamo. He talked about a ''successful conflictolysis'' according to New Medicine. He showed sign of fear and in vain sought a confirmation of other cancer patients allegedly successfully curedby New Medicine. But nobody was able to name any. He wrot to NGM-association ALBA in Genova and looked for help there. But he only received a meaningless and strange email stating that ''..the patient himself is responsible for his therapy...'' and he was disappointed having to realize this association was not willing to help him or simply was incompetent. His last message in fact was a ''good bye'' and a clear denial of modern scientific medicine. He wrote that ''somebody'' (unknown) asked him to confirm that (allegedly) no GNM physician assisted him in the past, as if this fact were important. He did not understand why his tumor grew despite the fact that he had undergone a ''successful conflictolysis'', and why he was still waiting for a recovery to happen. At the end he spoke about ''his fate''. A few days before his death, he gave all his passwords to a female friend (G.) in order to continue with messages in his name, but she was deeply impressed by his death and decided not to write in his name. Instead she reported what happened in a forum message. She revealed he had an inherited form of cancer (probably Familial Adenomatous Polyposis FAP), and that other member of his family had the same disease and were able to recover by choosing an effective medical treatment.

On August 20, 2006, Italian police officer Domenico Mannarino died at the age of fifty in terrible pain because of cancer, with his doctor not present. Mannarino lived in the southern Italian city of Crotone. Since November 2005 he knew about his lung cancer with a diameter of 1 cm. A member of his family, Roman physician B.L. (<ref>name known, for legal reasons we prefer to keep the name secret, hoping that he will be convicted one day so that we may tell his name. The widow of Mannarino is willing to tell his name. A contact can be made via email</ref>), adviced him to seek help from New Medicine and Mannarino agreed. The respective physician didn't have an office in Crotone, but was (and is still) working at the hospital Sant' Andrea in Rome. But he visited his patient and was in phone-contact with him. Mannarino and his wife Cinzia went to see a GNM-physician in Aulla (Liguria) named Lupi. He charged 150,- Euro for the consultation and requested them to buy some NM-books (memory of his wife and as recorded in his private diary), and they decided to buy them. One of the publishing companies of Hamer's books happens to be situated in Aulla, formerly ''Amici di Dirk srl'', now ''Secondo Natura srl''.

One of the publishing companies of Hamer's books happens to be situated in Aulla, formerly ''Amici di Dirk srl'', now ''Secondo Natura srl''.
The two were disappointed, however, because Lupi seemed to prefer talking instead of listening, and are quite amazed. Later the president of the Italian association ALBA, Marco Pfister (a Swiss citizen and former barman without any known medical degree) is included in the group of persons giving Mannarino advice, and Mannarino stays in phone contact with him. His physician BL diagnoses an allegedly harmless ''bronchial ulceration'' and categorically excludes any cancer despite former radiological evidence, his wife Cinzia remembers. BL then ruled out any conventional treatment and urged him not to repeat any radiological exploration. Mannarino was not supposed to talk about his decision to try New Medicine and BL likewise ordered him not to name him as the treating physician to anyone. But Mannarino was a very accurate and meticulous policeman and wrote down every detail of his disease and treatment in his private diary which his wife presented after his death. BL promised a rapid recovery from his ''ulceration''. Mannarino followed all instructions and refused any conventional treatment. His health situation, however, deteriorated rapidly, his lung tumor grew and he developed a metastasis at his chin. BL considered this a sign of upcoming recovery. Later he was semi-paralyzed and died at home, looked after by his wife. His physician BL had gone for a holiday far away in the Caribbean. Mannarino did not seek other medical help as he had promised not to contact any other doctor. He left his wife and three children. After his return, BL did not try to console the widow Cinzia, but accused the astonished woman of having caused her husband's death as she allegedly did not strictly believe in New Medicine which, according to its rules, is said to be necessary for recovery. She replied that she in fact read one of Hamer's books to her husband when he was no longer able to read himself. Cinzia Alunni (the widow) became very upset and made public many details of this story in the Italian press. She still keeps her husband's diary and all receipts and bills. She tried to sue BL, but had no success. She was threatened by an unknown man armed with a pistol waiting for her in front of her door at the end of 2007 and consequently intended to move from Crotone to avoid any further menace for her children and herself. In a newspaper article she considered Hamer's method ''illegal human experiments''.

Mrs. Maresa T.L. (<ref>Name and address are known. Maresa's family asked us not to publish her name for the time being. A contact via email can be estabished.</ref>) was born in 1959 and worked as chemist in Bergamo (Italy). In 2007, she died of breast cancer at the age 48. She had taken a three year formation 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 diagnosting procedures. She left her job as 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 NGM-association ALBA, Marco Pfister. According to her relatives, she talked to Pfister on the phone almost every day (who 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 to Ischia island in her hoildays where she had rented a vacation house. An operation was only of use for ''esthetic reasons'' Pfister said. Her left breast meanwhile showed several large tumors. 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.

Spanish professor and known opponent of Franco's Helena (Elena) Lumbreras noticed a tumor in her left breast at the age of 51 in 1987. She tried to cure her breast cancer by different alternative methods; however, without any success. She left two daughters and her husband. After a first attempt with faith-healing, she noticed her tumor growing, and a metastasis appeared. Therefore she decided to undergo a late conventionally chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Afterwards,she once more tried an alternative method using the whole-body hyperthermia, again without success. She then was advised to try New Medicine by a collegue. Her daughter Valeria remembers Helena Lumbreras called a ''Hamer-center'' in the region of Malaga where someone promised her a ''recovery within three weeks''. An unknown person with a thick German accent advised her what to do. On March 12 1995, her suffering increased considerably and she was not able to get up or leave her room any longer. The German-sounding person forbade the use of pain-relieving analgetic drugs and told her never to take any chemotherapy in future. Mrs Lumbreras was in terrible pain and was not able to sleep more than one hour per day and refused to eat. After two months of such a treatment by telephone, a NGM physician suddenly appeared: Spanish physician Vicenç Herrera from Barcelona. According to Herrera, Lumbreras allegedly suffered from a ''mother-child-conflict'' which caused cancer in her left breast. When the pain intensified even more, Herrera considered a symptom of a ''proceso de recalcificación'' and of recovery. In June 1995, Lumbreras had to be admitted to a hospital as an emergency. In hospital, she happened to see a report on the case of Olivia Pilhar on TV (Olivia and her parents were in Spain at that time) and so learned of Hamer having lost his medical license. Her daughter Valeria remembers Lumbreras told her: ...«Ojalá lo hubiera sabido antes».. On August 4 1995, she died suffering extreme pain. The doctor she last consulted was Vicenç Herrera Adell, a stout supporter of Hamer's since 1992. Physicians Juan Puget Valencia and Vicenç Herrera Adell were sued by Mrs Lumbreras' parents. Puget Valencia voiced regret to have made use of New Medicine, and legal procedures against him were closed.
