She won’t submit to a court order for Chemo Treatment because she wants to use Natural Remedies. http://harvestsource.com/blog/76/she%e2%80%99s-a-criminal-she-won%e2%80%99t-submit-to-a-court-order-for-chemo-treatment-because-she-wants-to-use-natural-remedies/ http://harvestsource.com/blog/76/she%e2%80%99s-a-criminal-she-won%e2%80%99t-submit-to-a-court-order-for-chemo-treatment-because-she-wants-to-use-natural-remedies/#comments Fri, 22 May 2009 20:51:32 +0000 Marketing http://harvestsource.com/blog/?p=76 Everyone is a criminal it would seem. Will growing and eating natural organic whole foods be criminalized next? I presume that you’ve heard about this family in Minnesota who wants to use natural remedies for their son’s cancer that is being forced by the courts to accept chemotherapy treatments for their son. It seems that rather than submit to what this mother believed would be a court order taking away her son and forcing him into chemotherapy she has run away toward Mexico. Are natural remedies really that bad? What compelling interest does the government have to force us to use a particular business service? Is it really the place of the civil government to force a person to use a medical doctor’s remedy vs. an alternative natural remedy? Everyone talking about this case, seems to believe that it has to do with medical practices. Could it be that this is actually more about the money than anything else?

Do you have any idea what conventional cancer treatment costs, and how significant a financial interest the “professionals” have in their diagnosis? Why do those of us who use natural organic whole foods always see that natural remedies are overlooked for more expensive drugs, even when it can be documented that the drugs are less effective than the natural remedies? Is this case really about parents neglecting their child? I would wonder if the reason this case is before the court at all isn’t because a chemotherapy business isn’t getting paid.

Although the natural remedies that we in the natural organic whole food industry seem to be the issue in the case. I would ask, isn’t this just about the money and the government using power to force a particular industry to have business? What do you think?
