Father fights cancer treatment in legal battle
In Ballston Spa New York the father of a Hodgkin’s disease patient says his son should receive nutritional therapy abroad rather than chemotherapy. John Hofbauer fights Saratoga County welfare officials in court after doctors urged chemotherapy with a 75 percent cure chance, while the family wants to continue non toxic treatment including Laeirite and nutrition. The judge declared Joseph a ward of the state as welfare officials seek court approval to determine the child’s medical path.
