Texas

Had a colleague get diagnosed with cancer. Like really early and one of the ones that is considered very treatable with high success rate for treatment.

He said he didn't trust the medical industry and vitamin c would take care of it. He died from what was probably a very treatable disease.

Of course he had some family trauma, a loved one with colon cancer that tried long shot treatment but still died, despite suffering from the treatments along the way. He even says the doctors said the circumstances were way better for him, but he just wouldn't believe them.

I mean, one high profile case of it was Steve Jobs. The dude followed an all-fruit diet that basically caused his pancreatic cancer, and then tried to treat the cancer with more fruits.

IIRC, Ashton Kutcher ended up trying his diet when prepping to play him in a biopic. And it caused so many health issues that Kutcher had to stop.

My dad tried treating his cancer with naturopathic remedies. They, uh, weren't doing anything. Then he had a stroke and was confined to the hospital for months. The hospital, naturally, gave him real treatments for cancer. He died about a year later, but his last test showed no cancer markers.

Just to be clear, the label doesn't explain the kind of punishment that can be applied. I'm not sure about this particular charge, but the lesser "Serious Bodily Injury to a Minor," which can occur through direct action or neglect, carries a sentence between 6 months to 99 years with or without parole.

This state absolutely sucks with regard to human rights, but it at least does some things right and leaves a lot of room for juries to make decisions based upon the evidence for cases like these.

If they don’t want cops at their house, I get it, but then drive the kid to the ER yourselves! Don’t try to cure her with magic homeopathic smoothies! I hope the judge throws the book at these dipshits.

Was gonna guess Jeezus but maybe it’s just regular evil?
