This public lecture presents the ground-breaking medical discoveries of German medical doctor Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D. on the psychological and biological causes of cancer. Dr. Hamer is the first to offer scientific proof that tumors are not caused by a malfunctioning organism but are instead the result of meaningful special survival programs that have been successfully practiced for millions of years of evolution. Based on this new understanding of cancer, the standard metastasis theory (“spreading cancer cells”) as well as the concept of “malignant” cancers will be critically scrutinized. This GNM event is of immeasurable value for the prevention of secondary cancers. LOCATION: Best Western Sands Hotel, 1755 Davie St. at Denman. TIME: 7:15 - 9:45 pm. Admission: $20.00. Registration not necessary. Info: 604-681-2474 or http://germannewmedicine.ca
