The enemy is cancer, not the parents.

 

October 2011 Preparing Oral Chemo

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Big pharma is big money. I am not in any way a conspiracy theorist; I will not buy into it at any turn, but I am not talking conspiracy theories here. We go to the doctor for help when we are sick. There is a place for "practicing medicine". Even the bible points to it and Luke was a physician. I do not take for granted, and am thankful for, the many times doctors and medicine have been there in time of need. But what happens when we lose the ability to choose what we want injected into our bodies, or into our children's bodies? In the childhood cancer world, there is no freedom in choosing treatment.

Believe it or not, the pharmaceutical industry is working with certain government agencies and officials to take away our freedoms and cause us to be dependent on them. Think of vaccines.

When you start researching how to heal your child of cancer, you begin to uncover really hard and horrifying things. Like the many, many cures already out there that have been shut down by courts because of the FDA. Kids dying at the hands of these criminals who won't allow for the treatment because big pharma can't patent it to make money, and repeat customers out of us. Homes and clinics raided, innocent scientists and doctors imprisoned, people found dead and their life’s work concerning cures destroyed. It’s a very real reality.

A thought I've had all these years.

What parent doesn't want to see their child completely healed of cancer?

Of course that is the goal! So why do the children's hospitals make you out to be a monster if you want to try non-toxic and non-invasive ways of healing vs their standard protocols that cause secondary cancers, suffering, and so often times death? Why is it okay if your child dies while being burned and poisoned and cut on at a doctor's best attempt to see them cured, but a parent can't choose another method and not go to prison if their child dies of a disease?

The enemy is cancer, not the parents.

This is how I would have to suit up to prepare my 5-year-old son's oral chemo each night. Completely toxic to inhale and to the skin. From night one starting in the hospital at diagnosis, I declared that it was "healing balm from heaven". But does heaven cause his legs to ache so bad that at times he could barely walk, writhing in pain? I became torn. It put him into remission but was not a cure. Chris required a bone marrow transplant, which involves high doses of intravenous chemo to wipe out his own broken DNA in order to implant donor DNA. The success rate with this type of transplant was around 20% that he would survive at least 5 years.

So the question remains, why do we as parents not have the right to say no? Every human is appointed a time to die. So why don't parents have a right to make medical decisions for their children, encompassing their convictions, intuition, desire, and responsibility, especially when their child has a deadly disease?
