Hans Alfred Herbert Eugen Nieper (23 May 1928 – 21 October 1998) was a controversial German alternative medicine practitioner who devised "Nieper Therapy".[1][2] He is best known for his claims to be able to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other serious diseases. His therapy has been discredited as ineffective and unsafe.[2]
Hans Nieper was born in Hanover, Germany on 23 May 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.[3]
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.[3]
Nieper was among the first researchers to work with lithium orotate.[1] Nieper also patented, along with Franz Kohler, Calcium 2-aminoethylphosphate (Calcium AEP), which he believed could be helpful in combating such diseases as juvenile diabetes, gastritis, ulcer, thyroiditis, Myocarditis and Hodgkin's Disease.[5] However, there is no evidence from reputable clinical trials for the success of the "Nieper Regime" for treating multiple sclerosis utilizing Calcium AEP.[6] The "Nieper Therapy" approach to cancer also uses Calcium AEP, along with selenium.[7] It is based in part around Nieper's belief that cancer is rarer among sharks than other fish and his theory that the lower blood-sodium level of sharks may be the reason; it places among its primary goals the reduction of that sodium in cancer patients.[8][9] Like his friends Dean Burk and Ernst T. Krebs jr., Nieper was an outspoken opponent of fluoridation.[10]
