Colleen Hauser and her 13 year old son, Daniel, have been forced on the run after a judge ordered mandatory chemotherapy to treat his Hodgkin's lymphoma. Daniel's mother has been accused of medical neglect and has an arrest warrant issued for her because she prefers natural remedies and prayer to toxic chemotherapy. Hauser, a Roman Catholic, denounces aggressive medical treatment stating it is against the family's religious beliefs.

Not surprisingly, large media outlets have ignored the defense's testimony. Here's what the National Health Freedom Coalition has to say, "Defense testimony of renowned Dr. Norm Shealy M.D. let the court know that he would not take chemotherapy himself if you gave him a trillion dollars, expounding on the reasons, and the political climate that holds the chemotherapy industry in place. The defense testimony of Dr. Robert Irons Ph.D., business owner and former researcher in the National Cancer Institute, gave detailed testimony about the dangerous and long term side effects of each drug in the multiple drug chemotherapy regimen that was administered to Daniel Hauser, and testified on the importance of informed consent for children with cancer. Defense testimony of Dr. Helen Healy, ND, explained the naturopathic medicine approach to cancer without chemotherapy and her experience working with people both who use chemotherapy and who refuse it, to address their cancer concerns."

Regardless of our personal beliefs about which treatment approach may be superior, we need to insure that our healthcare freedom is not eroded in the USA. If a parent believes that conventional medicine is not the best approach for their child, they should have the right to refuse these treatments.
