Austrian girl Olivia was six years of age when she began to suffer from a life-threatening 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. Hamer 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 house 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 tumour'' and thought a traumatic event having occured shortly before was the real cause of this tumour. This is simply impossible and nonsense because a tumour 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 revoked their rights to child custody, and the parents fled Austria with their child, 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 tumour continued to grow. When Olivia had left Austria, her tumour had a volume of 250 ml and grew up to 4.2 liters (the size of a football), and she suffered considerably as the tumour exerted growing pressure on her tiny lungs so that she was forced to breathe at a high frequency. Olivia and her parents were finally traced in Spain by the German press (Spiegel), and Hamer shamelessly used this as an opportunity to gain publicity for himself and his method. He requested the child to come to the beach for some photos. After negotiations including the intervention of the Austrian president, the parents were persuaded to return to Austria after intervention of the Spanish police. The child was finally given emergency medical treatment in Vienna against the parents' wish following court orders and is still alive today.
The parents sold photos of their daughter to the Austrian press and even sold the rights to a film for an amount of 500,000 Austrian Schillings. Her parents both received a sentence of eight months in Austria in 1996 and 1997. The parents still support Hamer's method and maintain their own website which explains the case from their point of view. Austrian authorities were not in a position to accuse Hamer, because he had 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.
