Response To Medical Views
The Swiss Cancer League of the Swiss Society for Oncology, Swiss Society for Medical Oncology and Swiss Institute for Applied Cancer Research say that no case of a cancer cure by Hamer has been published in the medical literature, nor any studies in specialised journals. Reports in his books "lack the additional data that are essential for medical assessment" and the presentations of his investigations, at medical conferences "are scientifically unconvincing".
Also the German Cancer Research Center, the German Cancer Society, the German Medical Association and German Consumer Councils strongly disagrees with Hamer.
Proponents of alternative cancer treaments also regard his theory skeptically and argue for supportive evidence and proofed patient cases.
Hamer's habilitation thesis about the GNM at the University of Tübingen was rejected after multiple examinations by several members of the medical faculty, who came to the conclusion that his work lacks scientific methodics and reproducibility and his argumentation does not back up his theories.
Hamer says that his system is verifiable and that the Trnava University and others have already confirmed some of his theories. In fact the Trnava University has no real medical faculty and the documents which allegedly confirm his view are not available and registered at the university. The Trnava University also rejected his habilitation thesis.
The Hamer foci which Hamer sees in the brain CTs are identified by radiologists as common ring artifacts.
The medical establishment in Germany and the European Union warns of the threat posed to patients by Hamer's therapies. If effective treatment is neglected, the applying of Hamer's theories is punishable in some countries as malpractice.
Hamer accuses an international Jewish conspiracy of withholding his ideas from the world, which some consider to be anti-Semitic.
Until today no documented case of a patient who got cured by Hamer's method is known, instead newspapers repeatedly report on victims of Hamer's practice throughout Europe.

“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
