Hans Alfred Nieper (1928–1998) was a controversial German alternative medicine practitioner who devised "Nieper Therapy".〔 He is best known for his claimes to be able to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other serious diseases. His therapy has been discredited as ineffective and unsafe. ==Early Life== Hans Nieper was born in Hanover, Germany on May 23, 1928. Nieper’s fascination for science and medicine came long before he was a doctor. Coming from a family with an extensive background in medicine, Hans Nieper would eventually follow in the family footsteps and become a doctor himself.〔Nieper, H., & Alexander, A. (1999). The curious man: The life and works of Dr. Hans Nieper. Garden City Park, N.Y.: Avery.〕 Nieper’s father was the grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Wahrendorff, founder of the Wahrendorff Psychiatric Hospitals, and son of Dr. Herbert Nieper, who was the Chief Surgeon at the hospital in Goslar, which was later named after him. Nieper’s parents were both doctors, and married in 1925. Shortly after marriage, they both began to work at the Wahrendorff Psychiatric Hospital.〔 Nieper spent most of his time at the Wahrendorff Hospital growing up. Nieper was granted complete intellectual freedom from his parents. As Nieper matured, he was encouraged to participate in stimulated conversations about the nature of the mind, the relationship between biology and mentality, and the validity of orthodox medicine, and to ask questions and raise points on his own. These early years taught Nieper to think analytically, to question orthodox assumptions, and to explore ideas and thoughts without fear of censure or ridicule.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Alfred Nieper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
