The State Tried Kidnapping this Amish Girl to Force Chemo on Her. She Fled and is Now Cancer Free

Had the story been the other way around, you can be sure that fraud charges would be flying.  Do these folks have no shame?  I think that at this point that a blanket apology should be given by everyone.

Chemo at best postpones the progress of cancer, serving to push the statistical envelop out allowing the science to be accepted as a medical protocol.  Take that away and i want someone to show me that any better results are achieved.


Anyone I ever knew who went that road is dead, commonly after a recurrence a couple of years later.  Yet i also have living friends who cured themselves a decade ago after dumping Chemo.  The difference is black and white.


I also think we know enough now to mostly cure cancer without chemo.  It is just not simple or is it a one pill for all cases either.  It still takes skill and talent..

The State Tried Kidnapping this Amish Girl to Force Chemo on Her. She Fled and is Now Cancer Free

After fleeing from government agents who wanted to kidnap her and put her through chemotherapy, an Amish girl who once had cancer is now entirely healthy. 

Sarah Hershberger, 12, was being treated at Akron Childrens Hospital, a government hospital, when the staff attempted to force her through chemotherapy despite the objections of her and her parents, Andy and Anna Hershberger.

In June of 2013, Sarah was receiving chemotherapy at the hospital and her parents were convinced that it was making her condition worse, and putting her at risk for many other long-term health problems.

“We were pretty sure we were going to lose her if we kept doing the chemo,” Anna Hershberger, Sarah’s mother said.

The parents began to object the treatment and faced strong resistance from the hospital staff, who even took them to court and attempted to gain guardianship over Sarah. 

The doctors had testified that without receiving chemotherapy immediately, Sarah would die within six months.

The family stood firm in their denial of the treatment, which prompted an intense legal battle. At one point during the ordeal, the family was forced to flee the country so she was not kidnaped by the hospital. 

Eventually, the family won in court, and it was decided that they had a legal and constitutional right to treat the cancer as they saw fit.

Now, two years later, Sarah is not only still alive, but she is actually entirely healthy, and cancer-free.

According to court records released this week, Sarah is no longer showing symptoms of lymphoma and she is back to her regular life. This recovery is in spite of the fact that doctors insisted that she would die without chemotherapy, to the extent that they would attempt to take her away from her parents.

The mainstream media has been very pessimistic and cynical about Sarah’s case, and many of the media segments about her suggest that her family is irresponsible and that she is essentially on her deathbed. 

However, this is not the case, she is now healthy and has beaten cancer because her and her family decided to stand up against the strong-arm tactics of the state.
