Olivia Pilhar Case
Hamer was associated with the Olivia Pilhar cancer case in 1995. Olivia, then aged six, suffered from Wilms' tumor. Fearing the painful conventional therapy, the parents consulted Hamer. He diagnosed no cancer but instead several "conflicts". The parents refused conventional medical therapy for Olivia. The Austrian government finally removed their rights of care and control, and the parents fled from Austria to Spain with their daughter, where Hamer was present too. There they followed Hamer's instructions how to treat their child.
After negotiations including the intervention of the Austrian president, the parents were persuaded to return to Austria. By then, Olivia's health had deteriorated. The tumor had grown very large, weighing four kilograms, filling most of her abdominal cavity and was pressing against her lungs. The lack of treatment had dropped her probability of survival from 90 to 10%. After a court ordered conventional cancer treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy was applied. The child recovered completely and was still alive in 2010. Her parents received an eight-month suspended jail sentence in Austria. Olivia's parents still support Hamer's method and have their own web site that explains the matter from their perspective.

Famous quotes containing the word case:
“The landscape of the northern Sprawl woke confused memories of childhood for Case, dead grass tufting the cracks in a canted slab of freeway concrete. The train began to decelerate ten kilometers from the airport. Case watched the sun rise on the landscape of childhood, on broken slag and the rusting shells of refineries.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
