Thanks- I hadn't seen this, which confirms it's largely as expected including mis-identification of CT ring artifacts with a well understood technical cause, that are claimed to be "Hamer Foci" with clinical value.

Did you see the case of the child with a Wilm's tumor with 90% chance of cure that reduced to 10% by the time the state wrestled her out of this expert's hands? He said she had a "separation conflict" rather than a kidney cancer, with the untreated tumor growing to massive 4kg size that distorted her abdomen and compressed her lungs by the time they got her back into care. Conventional medicine still saved her.

Also I note:

Hamer accuses an international Jewish conspiracy of withholding his ideas from the world...

As of 2015, no documented case of a patient who got cured by Hamer's method is known...

It seems this poor fellow had some misfortune in life. He had cancer himself, lost his wife before her time and had his son shot and killed, apparently by the son of the last King of Italy on a pleasure boat. Apparently he admits that he came up with theories to create meaning and connections between otherwise senseless tragedies in his life. Very sad, especially for patients who spend their savings and experience worse outcomes because they are convinced by his self-belief and sincerity. Perhaps a scientific focus for other physicians is to figure out how they can provide such comfort and hope to patients without being disastrously wrong. Yeats could have been writing about this stuff when he sad in the Second Coming that "the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
