all her medical decisions after a court fight with child welfare officials in Corpus Christi, Texas.
While doctors had recommended chemotherapy and radiation, the child’s father favored intravenous vitamin C. According to the health officials, Lymphoma Information Network and the social workers the disease is considered very treatable through conventional means and has a five-year survival rate of at least 80 %. Abraham’s family also found that the Hoxsey treatment was initially available in the US but proponents moved their clinic from Texas to Mexico in the early 1960s after repeated clashes with federal authorities.
The parents support their son's decision to follow this approach because they know that their son is mature and thoughtful. Cherrix now administers herbs to his son four times a day, carefully decanting into a small measuring glass. Before Abraham drinks the concoction both father and son pray to God. Jay Cherrix said that he would keep fighting for his son's right to continue with the alternative treatment.
