Mother on trial for murder after allegedly failing to administer chemotherapy drugs to son Thursday, April 07, 2011

(Natural News) Refusing to comply with state-sanctioned protocols for cancer treatment -- even when they cause immense pain and suffering, and possibly even a more rapid death -- can get you tried for murder if a loved-one under your care with cancer ends up dying. A Massachusetts woman currently faces murder charges based on testimony from her son's doctor who claims that the mother did not properly administer chemotherapy drugs to her son, thus causing his death.

According to a report in The Boston Globe, Kristen LaBrie allegedly stopped giving her son Jeremy his chemotherapy medication, at least for a time, which plaintiffs say resulted in his death. LaBrie has personally denied the allegations on numerous occasions, but her lawyer has since admitted that LaBrie did, indeed, stop giving her son the drugs. However, he claims she did so because she could no longer bear to watch the pain and suffering the drugs were inflicting on her son.

"Her mental strength weakened, her objectivity waned," said attorney Kevin James concerning LaBrie's decision. "She made a decision to stop giving him medication. The Commonwealth (Massachusetts) wants to make this tragic mistake a criminal act."

Leading the charge against LaBrie is Dr. Alison Friedmann, the pediatric oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) that began treating Jeremy for cancer back in 2006. According to Friedmann, LaBrie only filled a small portion of the chemotherapy prescriptions she ordered, and that the boy's cancer ended up coming back as a result.

Despite the fact that Friedman testified to having advised LaBrie to temporarily stop giving her son the chemotherapy drugs in 2008 so he could effectively recover from being hospitalized for the flu -- which illustrates perfectly that chemotherapy drugs completely destroy the immune system -- LaBrie is still being charged with assault and battery on a disabled person with injury, assault and battery on a child with substantial injury, reckless endangerment of a child, and murder.

In other words, if you fail to comply with the orders of your conventional doctor and the state -- even if doing so inflicts pain and suffering on you or your family members, and violates your personal freedom of health choice -- then you could be charged with murder.

Kate Jackson Breast Cancer a flash back

THE MOST MOMENTOUS CHANGE IN Kate Jackson's life began early one morning in January 1987, during her fourth season on the hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King. After a phone call informed her that the show's taping was canceled because costar Bruce Boxleitner had the flu, Jackson went back to sleep. When she woke several hours later, "It was out of the blue, but perfectly clear," she recalls. "I sat up in bed and literally said, 'You have to have a mammogram.' " She did, and two days later a biopsy confirmed her vague fears: A minute growth found in her left breast was determined to be malignant. "I was forced to face, squared up, my own mortality," says Jackson. "I had to decide whether I wanted to live or to die. And if you choose life, as I did, it's never the same." For three TV seasons 16 years ago, she was famous as Sabrina Duncan, a girl-next-door gone glamorous and the character critics dubbed the brainiest o

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v

Once ovulation and menstruation begin, the maturing of the breasts begins with the formation of secretory glands at the end of the milk ducts. The breasts and duct system continue to grow and mature with the development of many glands and lobules. The rate at which breasts grow varies significantly and is different for each young woman. Breast development occurs in five stages: Stage One: In preadolescence, the breasts are flat and only the tip of the nipple is raised. Stage Two: Buds appear, breast and nipple are raised, fat tissue begins to form and the areola (dark area of skin that surrounds
