He now has chrons disease. He has had it for the past 5 years. Cancer is a crazy thing and it had a terrible effect on my dad's current sickness. He continues to praise god through all of his trials though. It always amazes me. Jesus has been so good to me and him. Isn't it amazingly sad that we deserve so much more than just cancer or chrons? Eternal fire from hell is more like it. These trials are only momentary. Just wait till heaven. Can't wait to see you all there. my dad had hodgkins cancer 14 years ago. by way of Jesus working miracles, he was healed. He now has chrons disease. He has had it for the past 5 years.

It is sad that we no longer have control of what we want to do with our body (for good) , but the government doesn't stop others from tattooing, piercing and doing all kinds of crazy things that are known to be harmful. I work in a vitamin store, and I have seen people reversing cancer, and other conditions with natural products. I believe GOD gave us herbs to use as medicine, something that won't give side effects, why do doctors think we have a pipe instead of an esophagus THEIR MEDICINES ARE KILLING PEOPLE, yet they send you to jail if you don't take it? Abraham, trust in the Lord with all your heart, he is taking care of you. God Bless You and your family. Hang in there Abraham, I’ll be praying for you.

My family just got back from a clinic in Mexico for wholistic treatment. While we were down there, we heard about Abraham, I had no clue I would stumble upon this site though and hear about it. God is awesome. My mom was just diagnosed with brain cancer. To hear more about mexico, see it mustard-seed-faith.blogspot.com Love, Danielle Hi,

I would also back my child's decision, no matter how hard. However, if my patient tell me I can't take his blood pressure, I can't do that. If they don't want to do something, I can't make them. someone needs to make sure Abraham knows that too. God will provide the sacrifice in the bush. All we have to do is be faithful and look for it.

Courts have routinely ruled that minors are not adults, and that parents do not have the right to go against medical advice. Take for example the cases a few years ago that refused to let parents (I believe they were scientologists, but they might have Christian scientists or something else) refuse medical treatment for their children such as blood transfusion when the parents preferred to rely on prayer. I know that he isn't just refusing Chemo because he wants to pray, he is seeking alternative treatment, but if I recall the other aspects of this story correctly, the Chemo shrunk the tumor and the alternative medicine had no effect, the tumor has actually increased in size. I do not like the government making health decisions, but sometimes I don't like the alternative either. If Abraham and his parents can reject medical advice and endanger his life in the hopes of homeopathic cures, then why shouldn't parents also be able to reject consistent medical advice in favor of faith healings, shamans, or anything else they can come up with. I know he consulted with an oncologist, but it is obvious that medical concensus is against the homeopathic treatment, otherwise he could just trot in several doctors with his point of view and change the judges mind. This is a very sensitive issue, I have thought about it long and hard and talked to my wife about it, and I just don't see a clear cut answer I agree with most of what has been said here, but I do not think it is as cut and dry.

I'm praying for you now, that you would have the courage to do the right thing, even when everyone else says it's wrong. I know you will. Through difficult health situations I've been in, I can testify that Jesus never leaves us to walk the valley alone. He always shines enough light for the next step; always gives enough strength for the next fight He has for us. I hope you've found that when we are totally drained, then JESUS is EVERYTHING! Remember, in our weakness, then He is strong. Look up Isaiah 30:18-21, especially verse 21. God be with you. Abraham- hang in there.

I worked for a year in a natural health food store, so I've had a chance to explore natural health care alternatives, as well as some of the shortcomings of modern medicine (though it is, on balance, an incredible blessing). Not only is it shocking that an individual and his family are finding it difficult to choose their own care, it's disappointing that alternative treatments are seen as sub-standard - there's a lot of evidence to the contrary.

Abraham himself did the research and came up with an alternative plan. It's his life, and his call. That's called LIBERTY. He is not committing a crime. Suicide is a crime (self murder). He is trying to heal with a plan he researched. 1a. The doctor can't advertise his regimen up here in the US and make millions to give to charity becasue the same mainstream medical & drug lobby which is persecuting Abraham won't allow it in the US. 2. Abraham's parents support his choice. Anyone who doesn't think his parents want him to survive is either childless or insane. His parents have the right to persue this course of treatment. It might not be what others would perscribe, but Abraham is not their child, is he! The parents are obviously not anywhere near the sphere of disconnected religious cult or occult attendees. Who gets to decide? Abraham? His parents? the state? The medical establishment? General opinion? This is an important question that effects YOU no matter what you personally feel about this case. Who do YOU belong to? Are you free? Do you CARE?! The question is, who decides Abraham’s medical treatment?
