Summary

Diane Elms presents compelling testimony about the state of children’s healthcare in Canada, asserting that children are not safe within the current medical system. She shares the story of a 12.5-year-old boy diagnosed with ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma who is denied his choice of treatment and forced to undergo chemotherapy against his will, despite the family’s preference for tyrosine kinase inhibitors combined with homeopathic medicine and 714X. The Children’s Aid Society becomes involved when parents are deemed non-compliant for requesting alternative treatments. She discusses how 714X, a non-toxic treatment developed by Canadian biochemist Gaston Naessens, is available worldwide but restricted in Canada through the Special Access Program, requiring patients to first undergo conventional treatments. She cites multiple doctors’ testimonies about 714X’s safety and effectiveness, with no adverse effects observed. Elms references studies from Tuscany, Italy showing homeopathic medicine reduces pharmaceutical costs by 63% in the first year and improves outcomes in 90% of patients with no negative effects in pediatric cases. She discusses the Banerji Protocols from India, recognized by the U.S. National Cancer Institute, and MD Anderson Cancer Center’s study showing homeopathic medicines work as well or better than Taxol for breast cancer without side effects. Throughout her testimony, she emphasizes that despite policies from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario stating patients have the right to choose complementary or alternative medicine, these rights are routinely violated. She argues that the healthcare system is driven by pharmaceutical interests rather than patient wellbeing, noting that functional medicine doctors who address root causes cannot bill OHIP. She concludes that children and adults alike are denied informed consent and access to proven natural treatments that could save lives and reduce healthcare costs.
