The Indian Jesus?

nope, it's a vision of the desperate.

I often dream of my dad and my best friend. Both died of cancer and no neither are visiting me in my sleep. It's me wanting to see them so I dream about them.

That's all any "vision" is. The mind of the person WANTING.

Actually Canada did do that to many indigenous Canadians.

And it is ironic that some breakthroughs in Canadian medicine owe their thanks to medical experiments in residential schools such as research on vitamin supplements to ill-nourished children at residential schools in the '60's.

ill nourished? Because they made them that way. They starved native children who were stolen from their families.

That's a terribly dark and horrible thing.

Which is fine when that belief is doubly effective as placebo is.

Using that more powerful belief along with chemo would have save her life.

for the record there are OTHER treatments not just chemotherapy.

From the Feb 2015 article she WAS receiving treatment from her ONCOLOGIST and her family doc.

It was determined that she did not need to removed from her family BECAUSE she WAS seeking TREATMENT just not chemo.

Any patient has the right to seek what medical treatments they want. This patient had the guidence of her family.

They opted to try all kinds of other treatments rather then chemo. Chemo can cause secondary cancers of which she would need further chemo.

There really is no debate here. You have the right to consult with your doctor and choose the course of action you feel is best for you. We all want this. Otherwise maybe a doctor will decide a frontal lobotomy is the best course of action for you...like they use to.

Which is fine when that belief is doubly effective as placebo is.

Using that more powerful belief along with chemo would have save her life.

no, there is no guarantee she would have survived the chemo, the infections that come along with chemo or the clots that come with cancer and are increased with chemo use. It would have definitey prolonged her life for at least 5 years. At 7-10 years she was likely to develop a malignant neoplasm which would have required further treatment.

If they are under reported how do you know about them? Do they report it to you Beave, just not the authorities?

They don't get to the MSM. No media outlets selling drugs are going to stab themselves.

Holistic treatment. Herbs, berries, sage and hiyiyis is treatment? That my dear is placebo.


When I hear someone say something like you've just said I wonder where they think effective medicines came from before synthetics were developed and before pharmasuetical corporations. This leads to the next thought, that if thier immeadiate ancestors had the same fat headed disregard for herbs and berries the poster in question very likely would not be here to prove himself to be entirely ignorant of herbal remedys.

NEW STUDY SHOWS GINGER IS 10,000X STRONGER THAN CHEMO (AND ONLY KILLS CANCER CELLS)



Turmeric has widely been toted for its effect on cancer, but new research has shown that its cousin ginger is just as powerful. Not only that, it’s been found to be even more effective than some cancer medications at killing cancer. There is even evidence of some cancer medications being ineffective and actually accelerating the death of cancer patients.

What? That coming from the "human" who thinks that humans should suffer until natural death?
F. O. Inquisitor.


Well your solution is to euthenize the child.. because she lacks 'quality of life'. That's the law now in Belgium. Which comprises not 'assisted suicide'.. but murder.

This girl's parents are guilty of criminally negligent homicide, for failing to provide adequate medical care for a child for which they were a guardian.

did you read the article that I posted dated Feb 2015? she was being treated by her ONCOLOGIST ( a specialist in cancer treatment) and her family doctor.


Other treatments include steroids, growth factors, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplant and stem cell transplants.

You didn't read the article from Feb 2015 which stated that she was being treated by her oncologist.

To the OP.

'Oh no! A little girl died because her parents don't subscribe to my beliefs, boo hoo!'


To the next two responses. Pete and Walt.

'Yes kill everyone that doesn't subscribe to my beliefs.'

Repeating my words?

Well, at least you recognize who's the smartest person in the room.

Nope. Big difference between to and at.

Yup, twice.

Makayla died not only from leukemia, but from faith—the faith of her parents, who are pastors. They not only inculcated her with Christianity, but, on religious grounds, removed her from chemotherapy to put her in a dubious institute of “alternative medicine” in Florida. At the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Makayla was treated with a combination of raw food, vitamin C injections, and “cold laser therapy,” none of which have been shown to have the slightest effect on leukemia. (The Institute is being sued by former staff for operating a “scam.”) Her doctors say that if she had stayed on chemotherapy and standard treatment, she would have had a 75 percent chance of survival

try an article that has some of the facts straight.



this one talks about the fact that she was seeing an oncologist and a family doctor.
Makayla Sault's parents speak out about daughter's death - Aboriginal - CBC

Here's one that talks to the family and gets their reasoning
Makayla Sault went to controversial Florida clinic for ‘counselling,’ not medical treatment: mother | National Post

Unless of course you're happy with only that one source.

oh and the charges against the insitute were dropped "department had determined there was insufficient evidence to “pursue further legal action.”
