Alberta toddler died from meningitis because he was taken to a naturopath instead of a doctor, Crown says

This kind of stuff scares me because I've got a cousin going through something similar right now...

Quick back story, cousin is 13 and received his routine Hep B and Meningitis vacs around the beginning of the 2015 school year. Since then he's been suffering from an extreme headache of sorts that won't go away and has left him in bed all the time. He's missed most of this school year as a result it's been something like 70 days now and he's still claiming he's suffering.

His parents took him to our hospital and have had every test done apparently. MRI, CT, and every blood test for every thing imaginable but all the tests came back negative. His mom's losing her mind which is understandable as no parent wants to see their kid suffer and have no answers. They recently went to Toronto sick kids hospital to have more tests done and still all negative results came back, the doctors there said they believe it's psychological.

Well his mom's pretty much off the deep end now and is starting to spout off that his problems are all a result of the vaccinations that she thinks they've suddenly given him meningitis and are causing him autism at age 13. She says it's all a conspiracy of the pharmaceutical industrial complex and the doctors are on board.

So now instead of continuing persuing medical treatment and testing on my cousin she's pretty much gone off the deep end and is starting to take him to any weirdo who claims their herbal homeopathic remedies will cure him. She brought him to some fucking lady who claimed she has a Potion that will reverse all the effects of all vaccines he's ever had, even ones at birth. It's going to cleanse and heal him. Well spoiler alert it hasn't done shit. So the lady is now saying oh bring him back for multiple treatments it will help heal his spirit.

This bothers me so much because his mom's now fucking filling him with who knows what is in this potion. She doesn't know what it is, how it was made, if it was made in a sterile environment (fucking doubtful), if he's going to have an allergic reaction to it, etc...

The kids fucking sick still and shes refusing to bring him back to hospitals or doctors because they haven't been able to help, she doesn't believe it's psychological and she thinks they're all in on it and their vaccines made him sick. So I guess she's just going to keep pumping him full of bullshit potions that weirdos are recommending and hope they'll work?

I tried showing her studies and sources on why this is dangerous and how vaccines don't cause autism, etc. but she's having none of it.

I hope he'll be ok and that they'll bring him back to a real doctor, but I guess time will tell.
