 Alternative Medicine causes child grievous bodily harm: Doctors save her life using real Medicine http://www.***.com/ Dad 'refused medical help' for sick girl
December 16, 2008 - 3:18PM
An alternative medicine devotee will spend six months behind bars for
causing his sick daughter brain damage by refusing to take her to
hospital.
The Brisbane District Court was told on Tuesday the 11-year-old had
been suffering from a heart infection for two weeks before her 45-year-
old father finally took her to hospital.
She was gravely ill when she was admitted to Toowoomba Base Hospital
in September 2006.
Her temperature was 42 degrees celsius, she had been hallucinating and
was weak, pale and could no longer walk.
The court was told her mouth was peeling, black and clogged from the
alternative medicine her father had been giving her in extremely high
doses.
The doctor who finally examined the 11-year-old said in a report the
girl was as "sick as the sickest person I've ever seen in 35 years".
Prosecutor Belinda Merrin said it was the father's distrust of
conventional medicine that had caused him to delay seeking treatment.
Instead, he had been relying on the glyconutrient dietary supplement
Mannatech to cure his daughter.
A psychologist report tendered in court said the father's belief in
Mannatech bordered on "obsessive" and that he had an "exaggerated view
of his own knowledge and ability" about health treatments.
He had been giving her so much Mannatech it had stuck to her teeth and
clogged her mouth.
The father also suffered impaired judgment because of a brain injury
he suffered in the mid-1990s.
The court was told the girl's mother asked him on a number of
occasions to seek medical treatment, but had not pushed the issue for
fear her estranged partner would deny her access to her children.
When the girl was admitted to hospital she underwent an emergency
heart bypass and valve replacement.
She spent some time in a coma after surgery because of bleeding on the
brain, and it was a year before she was eventually allowed to go home.
She now uses a wheelchair and has reduced vision and severe, ongoing
cognitive and fine motor skills.
The court was told she may never walk unaided again.
The father pleaded guilty to one count of grievous bodily harm.
He was sentenced to three years' jail, but will be released on parole
after serving six months.
The mother has pleaded guilty to a charge of child cruelty.
She was sentenced to 12 months' jail but release immediately on
parole.

Example of an unfortunate and isolated incident. Obviously if a person has serious symptoms they should seek medical attention. carole

FDA-approved medicine 106,000 dead...alternative medicine 1 dead. You'd better start searching for 105,999 more examples if you want to
even things up.

That'sright - people who believe in that "alternative" claptrap are unfortunate and isolated. Quote: > Obviously if a person has serious symptoms they should seek medical

Nice admission. The "alternative" is ineffective, so it only "works"on those who are not actually sick.

Alternative Medicine causes child grievous bodily harm: Doctors save her life using real Medicine True, you need to get out more. At least 1/2 the population use Alternative Medicine. I think that YOU are "isolated" and uninformed. OR, you work for the drug company.

No kidding. I went into kidney failure as a result of nephritis caused by a strep infection when I was around 11 or 12. Fortunately, there is Real Medicine to treat strep and nephritis. If I'd had to rely on that altie crap, *I'd* have been dead, too. Or maybe I just wasn't living a clean and natural life at the age of
11/12? Yeah, right.
