Starchild Abraham: His Trip to Tijuana For Chemo-Refusal

Note from Ilena Rosenthal: Healthfraud Peter Moran ... now backed by
"Kane" have continually posted the lie that young Abraham did NOT
complete the first coure of chemotherapy.

When corrected, they continued to repeat this disinformation ... this
is absolutely typical of the propaganda of Quackwatch/Healthfraud/ACSH
agendas.


Kane is giving false information ... parroting HealthFraud Peter
Moran. Kane's intentional "misunderstanding" ...

My understanding is that he did not complete the initially recommended course.

EXCERPT: During the next few months Abraham faithfully pursued
conventional chemotherapy through its recommended cycle.

Now "Kane" is giving the disinformation claiming that Abraham's loving
and devoted parents:

Which means they have abdicated parental responsibility. The parents have said in so many word, they will not decide and will let him decide. A decision not to decide.

False yet again Kane.


EXCERPT: Doctors then recommended a higher dosage of chemotherapy
combined with radiation and culminating in stem cell treatment,
offering Abraham less than a 50% chance of survival under this
treatment. This time the Cherrix family did their own research,
contacted many other cancer victims and survivors, prayed, and
discussed all their options. After reflecting on the brutal
side-effects of the previously ineffective treatment and the hope
offered by in a natural remedy, Abraham and his family chose to pursue
alternative treatment in Mexico.

Note from Ilena Rosenthal: Here is the text from Abraham's family's
website ... obviously Healthfraud Peter Moran with "Kane's" verbose
propaganda will intentionally lie to push their Con Med point of view.

In late August of 2005, fifteen year old Abraham Cherrix received the
devastating news that he had a form of cancer known as Hodgkin's
disease. During the next few months Abraham faithfully pursued
conventional chemotherapy through its recommended cycle. However, in
February of 2006 he learned that chemotherapy had not cured the
disease.

Doctors then recommended a higher dosage of chemotherapy combined with
radiation and culminating in stem cell treatment, offering Abraham
less than a 50% chance of survival under this treatment. This time the
Cherrix family did their own research, contacted many other cancer
victims and survivors, prayed, and discussed all their options. After
reflecting on the brutal side-effects of the previously ineffective
treatment and the hope offered by in a natural remedy, Abraham and his
family chose to pursue alternative treatment in Mexico. A legal battle
has ensued.

The Cherrix family has placed life on hold to pursue treatment for
their son. Since early May, the family has been involved in continuous
litigation with the Department of Social Services to continue their
desired course of treatment. In the Juvenile and Domestic Court, the
parents faced charges of neglect, loss of custody of their son, and
orders to submit to the recommended cycle of higher dosage
chemotherapy and radiation by Tuesday, July 25, 2006.

On Tuesday, minutes before this order was to take effect, the family
obtained a stay from the Circuit Court; the parents regained full
custody of their son and Abraham is now free to continue his desired
course of treatment . . . for the moment. The family is due back in
court on August 16, 2006 for another trial to determine whether
Abraham may pursue his desired choice of treatment. Both parties will
most likely appeal the verdict to a higher Virginia court.

The Cherrix family has found that they are not alone in this type of
struggle. Although few families have had the resources to pursue their
rights all the way through the judicial system, many have come forward
to share personal stories of their legal struggle to obtain medical
treatment of their choice.

The Cherrix family is committed to providing the best care for Abraham
and to fight for their rights to make informed medical decisions as a
family, to disagree with conventional, yet inconclusive treatment, and
to pursue long-standing natural cures. The family's business is on
hold and their remaining resources are being exhausted through travel,
medical care, and extended litigation. Yet they continue to argue this
case of national concern.

A nonprofit organization, Abraham's Journey, has been created to
assist in situations such as these. For more information on this
501(c)(3) corporation, click on Donate. Also, throughout his treatment
Abraham began a personal website, abrahamsjourney.com, to tell his
story, to chronicle his thoughts, and to provide information. This
personal website is available at the above link.
