You? Or The Government?

A legal battle currently taking place in the UK raises fundamental questions regarding who is ultimately responsible for the health and wellbeing of our children. The case at hand concerns an eight-month-old child, Charlie Gard, who has a rare condition known as mitochondrial depletion syndrome. A fatal disorder affecting the genetic building blocks that provide energy to the body’s cells, it results in progressive muscle weakness and brain damage. With Charlie now critically ill, his parents want to take him to the United States where a pioneering treatment is available. But in a decision that has understandably devastated them, a High Court judge has ruled that the hospital treating the boy can withdraw life support and let him die. The parents now have until 2 May to decide whether to lodge an appeal.

In what is arguably one of the most controversial sections of the ruling, the judge made it clear that under British law parents do not have overriding control to decide what is in the best interests of their children:

At the root of this case, the key question concerns who our children ultimately belong to. In other words, whose responsibility is it to decide what is best for them? As parents, are we merely guardians who look after our children on behalf of the government they will eventually grow up under and pay taxes to? Most parents, I am sure, would strongly disagree that this is the way our children’s wellbeing should be determined.

Treating parents like criminals

Unfortunately, not all such cases end happily. In April 2016, in what can surely only be described as state-sponsored child abuse, the parents of Oshin Kiszko, a six-year-old boy from Perth, Australia, who was fighting a brain tumor, were forced by a court to enroll him in toxic chemotherapy treatment. Angela Kiszko, Oshin’s mother, described how the legal enforcing of dangerous drug treatment on her son almost felt “like Nazi Germany”, saying she had made an informed decision that there were better options available. In doing so, it was clear Angela knew the facts about natural approaches to cancer and the history of chemotherapy. Appearing on ‘60 Minutes’, an Australian current affairs TV program, she insisted it simply didn’t make sense to give her son treatments – chemotherapy and radiotherapy – that themselves are carcinogenic. Sadly, the court prevented her from pursuing alternative approaches and Oshin subsequently died on 28 December, 2016.

The case of Dominik Feld

The bottom line is that legal and medical stakeholders of the pharmaceutical ‘business with disease’ will go to almost any lengths they deem necessary in order to prevent parents from accessing scientifically-proven natural cancer treatments for their children. The case of a young German boy, Dominik Feld, who received a diagnosis of bone cancer in September 2002, is particularly instructive here.

Following his diagnosis Dominik began receiving chemotherapy treatment. By May 2003, he was suffering severe side effects due to the highly toxic nature of the drugs he was being given and, weighing only 16 kilos, was already fighting for his life. His parents therefore took the decision to stop the chemotherapy and, after looking into alternative treatments, came across Dr. Rath’s Cellular Medicine approach to cancer. After carefully studying the scientific facts about Cellular Medicine they decided to start their son on it.

By September 2003, after only four months following the Cellular Medicine approach, Dominik was well enough to return to school. For legal and medical stakeholders of the pharmaceutical industry, however, the threat this posed to the multibillion-dollar chemotherapy business was unacceptable. As a result, the next 14 months of Dominik’s life involved a district court withdrawing from his parents their right of care for him; the denial of vital medical care to him after surgery following a sporting accident; the insistence by pharmaceutical medicine that he still had cancer; and numerous clinical and medical errors in the treatment he was then given. This all greatly diminished Dominik’s health and eventually led to his death in November 2004.

Towards a new era in medicine

In advocating natural forms of healthcare, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that the countless numbers of children who have lost their lives to toxic pharmaceutical-based approaches did not die in vain. The battles they – and their parents – have fought bear testimony to the ongoing failure of conventional medicine to address the primary cause of chronic diseases, namely, nutritional deficiencies.

In the healthcare systems of the future, there is no doubt that deaths from diseases such as cancer can be reduced to a fraction of their current occurrence. Natural preventive approaches will ultimately become the cornerstone of modern medicine, and many diagnoses that are today seen as terminal will no longer be death sentences. As a result, our children will grow up to live longer, healthier lives, and the elderly will remain active and independent through to advanced ages.

Though many people do not yet realize it, this new era in scientifically-based natural medicine is already now at hand. Groundbreaking nutritional and Cellular Medicine approaches are available and stand ready to be at the center of this transformation. Quite simply, how soon they are implemented into our healthcare systems will be directly dependent on how active we all are in sharing the facts. Meantime, until we achieve real freedom of choice in healthcare for ourselves and our children, we cannot truly call ourselves a properly civilized society.

Paul Anthony Taylor

Executive Director of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and one of the coauthors of our explosive book, “The Nazi Roots of the ‘Brussels EU'”, Paul is also our expert on the Codex Alimentarius Commission and has had eye-witness experience, as an official observer delegate, at its meetings.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Paul's background was in the music industry, where he worked as a keyboard player and programmer with artists including Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas, and Primal Scream.

He first became interested in natural health after falling ill with a chronic fatigue syndrome-related disorder in 1991 and subsequently making a full recovery through the use of natural health therapies. After meeting Dr. Rath and Dr. Niedzwiecki at an anti-Codex rally in Berlin in 2002, Paul was inspired to make a life-changing decision to leave the music industry to work for the Foundation and help defend the right of patients worldwide to have free access to natural health approaches.

Der Executive Director der Dr. Rath Health Foundation ist einer der Koautoren des explosiven Buchs „Die Nazi-Wurzeln der Brüsseler EU“. Paul ist auch unser Experte zum Thema „Codex Alimentarius-Kommission“ und hat Augenzeugenerfahrung als offizieller beobachtender Teilnehmer bei diesen Treffen.

Bevor er seine Arbeit bei der Stiftung antrat war Paul in der Musikindustrie aktiv. Er arbeitete als Keyboard-Spieler und Programmierer mit Künstlern wie Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas und Primal Scream.

Sein Interesse an natürlicher Gesundheit wuchs, als er 1991 an Störungen erkrankte, die aus einem chronischen Erschöpfungssyndrom resultierten. Durch natürliche Gesundheitstherapien wurde er schließlich vollständig geheilt. Ein Treffen 2002 mit Dr. Rath und Dr. Niedzwiecki bei einer Anti-Codex-Demonstration in Berlin inspirierte ihn zu einer lebensverändernden Entscheidung und er verließ die Musikindustrie um für die Stiftung zu arbeiten und das Recht der Patienten zu verteidigen, weltweit freien Zugang zu natürlichen Gesundheitsverfahren zu haben.
