Natural healing methods
As an altar boy, Hammerer received an insight into natural healing methods from the age of seven. From the age of 21 he deepened this knowledge with Harry Edwards and then with Tom Johanson. His role model in the field of natural healing methods is Sebastian Kneipp , whose natural healing method he further developed in the International Kneipp Confederation and in the Austrian Federal Kneipp Administration (1982–1992). He also practiced as a Kneipp health resort and was the Kneipp chairman of the Lingenau Kneipp association for 25 years.
He combined this method with therapeutic principles and adapted it to modern technology. It was presented by him at five successive CeBIT trade fairs in the Inventor's Hall. In 2005 he was called to Düsseldorf as a speaker at MEDICA to present the Health & Vitality concept.
