If your kid gets cancer can a parent legally refuse conventional cancer treatment

If your kid gets cancer can a parent legally refuse conventional cancer treatment?
Chemotherapy/Radiation etc is nothing but poison to the body. When you poison the immune system and irradiate tissues, you create physical imbalances which in turn can create cancer. This is the simple reason why so many people who subject themselves to conventional cancer treatments find themselves battling recurring cancer. Conventional cancer treatments are downright brutal and destroy the immune system. I strongly believe in prevention and alternative medicine, and living a pure and natural lifestyle with raw organic foods, so my family and I will probably never ever get cancer. But if me or my kids or wife ever got cancer I swear I would never subject myself or them to that torture just to please the big pharma companies which don't give a sh*t about people. Just like I would never give them a bottle of rat poison to swallow. The big pharma companies only care about their trillion-dollar a year industry and keeping people brainwashed. My question is would a parent be legally allowed to refuse conventional cancer treatment if their kid got cancer?

I'm sure you can but you'll have to find another treatment out there that has been proven to cure whatever cancer the child has.

This is the politics section. Try medicine or law and maybe you'll hit the daily double.
3 :
"deep breath" parents should be allowed to choose the method of treatment for their own child. Not everyone shares the same beliefs. Anyone offering a snake oil cure for a serious condition should be prosecuted. Those parents should also be able to give a reasonable explanation for the choice they made.

Yes, in some states, but big pharma is constantly throwing money around trying to make natural medicine of any kind illegal everywhere. In some states its considered child abuse to go against doctor recommendations and most doctors don't even offer a chance to choose, they make the decision. Fight it, fight it with every resource you have available even if it means not taking your children to conventional doctors at all. And to those of you that call vitamin therapy "quackery" or "snake oil cure" please learn to read. Just google "vitamin therapy" or "gerson therapy." Doctors are not gods, and in most cases they are really not that smart at all, they just passed their classes and decided the day they graduated that they knew everything there is to know.

Yes it is legal, but it could be a fight if some Doctors don't agree. You have to arm yourself for that fight with good reasoning. Rarely will it go to where you need a lawyer and an order but it could. Yes, many do refuse traditional treatment for their children. Happens often enough. And I agree with you, sometimes Doctors do not know best-they know only procedures taught them not many go outside that, I have seen that. People assume to much that they know best always. And I have seen people who are dedicated to health do very well in preventive and alternative medicine. And I have seen people who refuse Doctors but don't follow through with all that is needed for the alternative (which often requires much work). Ideal would be to find a Doctor who will work with you on your alternative before and they are out there. One who works in Natural medicine could recommend some. Doctors who understand both to me can offer so much more. They can help in many ways too.Than you have the benefits of both Add on : "Science does not disagree with you." As stated below. Science also knows about building cells and the destruction of them and the break down of the immune system and the effects. And studies have shown the many failures of these two too. Science in itself Does agree with you. Maybe that person meant Medical Science as a whole --- which that is not agreed on by all in that very field . Popularity of things does not mean it is best. (we once use to use leeches in medicine and most thought that was best and that is one of many we know better now) (we are taught evolution it school but that is not agreed on by All in the field of Science. Real Science is based on consistent fact ) Chemo and Rad also wipes out many good building cells and bring down the immune system and you might just be the one who needs them badly. I do agree with them a healthy lifestyle does not elminate that one might not get a disease or illness just because of living it. So many factors there. Hope you study all your options with care- and know the extent of any illness, your life maybe depended on it. As someone mentioned- you should be able to give a reasonable explanation for the choice you make and of what you plan to do and how it has show too that it is effective In the case of cancer you will find it went well for many using other methods and some it didn't just as in the suggested treatment that is often used.

Science disagrees with you. You see, you can actually do research on chemotherapy and radiation. Double blind studies that give strong statistical evidence that these treatments work. We can causally explain how these treatments work via our knowledge of human genetics and metabolism. You use words like "physical imbalances" but you do not quantify them. What body fluids are being imbalanced? What is their chemical makeup? Chemotherapy is poison to the body, and that's why it is so effective. Cancer is a mass of cells without any restraints to controlled metabolism and cell division. You poison the entire body, and because cancer cells demand so many resources for their out of control metabolism/divisions they take in more poison than your healthy cells. Thus, the cancer is killed, while sparing everything else. The cancer dies faster than you do. Luckily, we have more and more damage control as this discipline advances. Also, it doesn't matter what kind of lifestyle you have if you have a genetic predisposition for cancer.
