Medical Betrayal

We go to doctors for help. We do not go there to have our family’s ripped apart if the doctors don’t get their way. The case of Abraham Cherrix says it all. In this case, this 16 year old boy was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease by the doctors at the Children’s Hospital at the Kings Daughters in Virginia. Because his family wanted what was best for him, they trusted the doctors there. He was given a round of chemotherapy that harmed him. We thought doctors took an oath to “first, do no harm”. Surely Abraham’s family believed that doctors are there to help them, and would not harm them. Many of us make this mistake. We don’t know that if we are injured or killed at the hospital, there is virtually no recourse for us. If our children are damaged or lost, and there are laws that limit lawsuits. Many of us don’t know that medical mistakes and damaging treatments are one of the leading causes of death in the United States today. We don’t know that we have virtually no rights to life once involved with the medical community. The doctors, hospitals, and big pharmaceutical have the right to protect their profits. If we allow them to kill our children, they make money. If we try to protect our children by exploring what we think is best, then they betray us and have our children removed from us and then exposed to toxic treatments that may eventually kill them. That’s what happened in this case. The oncologist at Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughter’s called Social Services and reported the family when the family refused a second round of chemotherapy after an initial round had harmed Abraham severely. The case went to Juvenile Court and the Courts protected the Hospital. The courts protected profits. This child has been ordered to go to the hospital to receive treatments that he thinks will kill him. His parents cannot protect him. The oncologist, the medical community, courts and government have stripped him of his right to life. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/07/21/D8J0MGOO1.html

Why does a fetus have more rights to life than a 16 year old boy? Is this the land of the free? Why are we fighting a war for democracy in other countries when we don’t have rights even to our own life here? This betrayal of a person’s right to seek health care removes all of our rights to life. What happened to our inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

What can you do to protect your life and the lives of your children? If you don’t want your children taken away, injured or possibly killed, take a close look at the profits of this industry. Don’t make a mistake that could costs you your family.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM THIS DISASTER?

For myself, I do not carry health insurance. I can assure you, that NO ONE will sue to treat me for free. No one is going to insist on unnecessary tests, procedures or drugs if I won’t pay for them. No one will keep me alive for years on end for free. It just won’t happen. There, my rights are protected.

Please know that this is a VERY personal decision and with it I have taken full responsibility for my health. I am very careful about diet, exercise, sleep and stress. This is not a decision to make lightly.

I tell NO ONE about my medical history, what vitamins I take, if any, what medicines or vaccines I have received or not. This way, no one can harm me about my decisions.

I pay for all health care items with cash or checks as the patriot act required they be tracked.

I weight all medical decisions as if I alone am going to bear the consequences of my actions. If I go to the dentist, and he harms me, the courts will protect him. I have to be able to recover on my own. If I vaccinate my child, and my child becomes autistic, I have to be willing to surrender my career to take care of this child, go bankrupt with medical bills, and sustain the heartbreak of watching my child struggle. There are laws that hold the doctors and pharmaceuticals “harmless”. You are on your own. For the government, you become a statistic, but no one from your doctor’s office is going to help you take care of your injured child. No one from the government or courts will help you with bills or health care. Do your research.

I tell NO ONE about my health care decisions. They are private. I trust no one as I choose not to be betrayed. I wonder had this family NOT shared any information if they would be in the situation they are in today. I wonder if they had NO insurance if we would have even heard of this brave young man.

This case has serious ramifications. Every person and family needs to rethink their assumptions about trusting doctors. Surely, taking a child away from his parents while he is struggling with cancer, and charging the parents with neglect is not a caring act. How could this be about health “care”? Please consider your health care decisions wisely.

Know that this article is only my opinion. This is a critical issue that we all face and should think about very carefully. My wish for Abraham Cherrix and his family is that they can find sanity and healing in a world that is terribly lost. I wish them great comfort in this time of struggle and pain. I pray for them that they receive healing. I am dedicated to your perfect health in every way.
