I don't think these people are "snake handling" religionists, but they apparently subscribe to naturopathic medicine. This belief spans all sorts of religious and philosophical camps: New Agers, fundamentalist Christians, agnostics, liberals, conservatives, et. al. Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King, died a few months ago while obtaining alternative cancer therapy in Mexico.

Look, it is a parents responsibility to ensure the welfare of their kids. Period. Now I dont know what the holistic vs conventional treatment success ratio is, but my moneys on the doctors. While I disgree vehemently with the governments intrusion and the strong arm tactics implied here, I still think its wrong to deny treatment based on a faith in divine intervention. Im a Catholic, and believe that faith and prayer IN TANDEM with professional care is the best route for cancer or any other potentially terminal ailment. The more I think about it, the parents are at fault here. Cure you child, then fight city hall.
