(CNN) -- A Minnesota judge issued an arrest warrant Tuesday for the mother of Daniel Hauser, a 13-year-old boy who is refusing treatment for his cancer, after neither she nor the boy showed up for a court appearance."It is imperative that Daniel receive the attention of an oncologist as soon as possible," wrote Brown County District Judge John R. Rodenberg in an order to "apprehend and detain." "His best interests require it," Rodenberg wrote.
Rodenberg ordered custody of the boy transferred to Brown County Family Services and issued a contempt order for the mother.
The State purporting to act in the Individual's "best interest" is fundamental to totalitarianism. The decision whether or not to blast this boy's cells with radiation should be a decision made by his family. Not by a government manipulated by lobbyists and eugenecists. Before you know it they will be mandating abortions and HPV "vaccinations".

In the piece I saw yesterday about this story the doctoring kept saying that this boy's type of cancer was "curable." He said the boy had a 95% chance of being "cured."
What is it about chemotherapy that actually makes it a "cure" is what I kept asking? Chemotherapy is a cell-killing mechanism that hopefully kills cancerous cells, but more often than not kills many healthy cells.
And so chemotherapy has the potential to kill you as much as it has a chance to "cure" you.
Do this boy's parents have the right to starve him to death too? If Daniel's mom was starving him -- keeping him locked up in the basement without food -- and the "state" interceded, I don't think you'd be objecting, DV.
And so chemotherapy has the potential to kill you as much as it has a chance to "cure" you.
There is nothing potentially fatal about the chemotherapy used to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma.

No. I don't think so UB.
However, I'd rather the rest of the family, the grandparents, the uncles and aunts, the cousins or even the neighbors intercede - before the state embodied by Judge Rodenberg - force chemotherapy upon a child under the threat of imprisonment.
Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy?
Chemical Therapy?
Radiation?
Shiiiiiiit. UB my family doesn't even use a microwave.
Cancer is the body's response to toxins. How can loading it with more toxins cure anything?
Peep:
"Doctors have been urged to be more cautious in offering cancer treatment to terminally-ill patients as chemotherapy can often do more harm than good, a study suggests.
The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) found that more than four in ten patients who received chemotherapy towards the end of life suffered potentially fatal effects from the drugs, and treatment was “inappropriate” in nearly a fifth of cases.
In a study of more than 600 cancer patients who died within 30 days of receiving treatment, chemotherapy probably caused or hastened death in 27 percent of cases, the inquiry found.
In only 35 percent of these cases was care judged to have been good by the inquiry’s advisors, with 49 percent having room for improvement and 8 per cent receiving less than satisfactory care.

^ Who's talking about "terminally ill" patients at the end of life? A 15-year-old boy with Hodgkin's is not "terminally ill"... he has a treatable condition. To deny him treatment is irrational and probably criminal.
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's in 1983, senior year of college. Did the chemo. And knew I wasn't gonna die.
One of the chemicals was Mustargen, a liquid form of mustard gas. Yes, the blistering chemical-warfare agent mustard gas... now banned under the rules of war.
A simple-minded person might say: "Mustard gas is poison! How could being injected with poison cure cancer? It makes no sense!"
But I'll leave it to the curious to investigate for themselves how mustard gas came to be the first-ever highly effective chemotherapeutic agent in treating certain cancers.
Glad to hear you are doing well Mills. The blogsphere be boring if you hadn't made it.
I've heard other pro-chemo testimonials.
I've also heard pro-holistic testimonials.
If we can employ the same ... tolerance ... for alternative medical treatments that we do for "alternative sexual preferences" - America would be a better place.
Wouldn't you agree it's a dangerous government that prescribes by law medical treatments to its citizens?
The same medical industry that is pushing vaccines like they get a commission used to snatch tonsils out of kids mouths with their first soar throat.
Now we know better.
Medicine in America has become a business. So has "treating" cancer become a business. A profitable business.
Let the boy and his mom make their own choices.

Well... it certainly would be roomier.
Here's an "alternative medical treatment" for you... much talked-about in South Africa. It's called the "virgin cure."
That's where you cure your AIDS by having sex with a virgin... even if that virgin happens to be an infant.
And then there's Tanzania, where albinos are murdered so their body parts can be used as "medicine" by traditional healers.
Hey... who's to say, right? Worth a shot. It doesn't make any less sense than chemotherapy, does it?
Goodness gracious...
Your problem, DV, is you give credence to "alternative" medicine simply because it's alternative. You define yourself by an oppositional posture vis-a-vis the power establishment.
Which leads you down such dead-end streets as advocating "colon cleansing" and trash-talking the polio vaccine (which eradicated polio).
Medicine in America has become a business. So has "treating" cancer become a business. A profitable business.
And chiropractic ain't a business? Homeopathy ain't a business? Fuck is you sayin', DV?
I'm glad there's a profit motive in treating cancer. Because, in a free society, that's how shit gets done.

Glad you're OK UBM, may God be with you.
This hits too close to home for me.
Mom's is trippin' the f*ck out. I would take my life before I let my kid suffer. Real talk.
I can't seem to get enough info on this to know what is really up. My thoughts are with them.
