Default Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D.

Ironically these statistics for Dr. Hamer's remarkable success rate were
delivered by the authorities themselves.


Hamer isn't "Dr Hamer", his medical license was revoked over 20 years
ago although he has continued to practice illegally. He is not
entitled to use the pre-nominal nor the post-nominal MD.

When Dr. Hamer was arrested in 1997
for having given three people medical advice without a medical license, the
police confiscated his patients' files and had them analyzed.


Would this be for the trial in Germany, where he was jailed for fraud,
or the trial in France, where he was jailed for fraud?

Subsequently,
one public prosecutor was forced to admit during the trial that, after five
years, 6,000 out of 6,500 patients with mostly "terminal" cancer were still
alive.


Do you have a reference for this, it doesn't seem to appear in the
trial transcripts at all but is documented as a claim made several
times by Hamer himself even though it was impossible given the dates
he traded at Burgau.

For some reason (possibly because he was busy in jail?) Hamer has
omitted to publish even one single case of a cancer cure in medical
literature nor any studies in specialised journals. This does seem
surprising as he claims "New Medicine provides theory and explanation
for all disease, psychoses and spontaneous criminality". (Apparently
you can also use it to help plants grow.)

On the other hand there appear to be a few hundred well documented
cases of deaths having occurred because of the use of his treatments.

Markolin has no scientific or medical training and her PhD is in
German Literature isn't it? Didn't she work as an Associate Professor
for German literature before deciding selling nutritional supplements,
herbs and Hamers "cures" was more profitable?
