The Stephan trial and evidence-based healthcare

[4X4]

It's a travesty that that ass hole isn't in prison. Sorry for circumventing the swear filter, but in this case, it's called for.

[Swift]

It's crazy that the one thing he claims to be good at is something that he has failed at spectacularly tragically and yet, somehow there are people willing to pay him? Bizarre. It'd be like employing a local home builder who has literally had his house fall down.

[OMG!WTF!]

Well that didn't take long...

They got rid of Stephan before the first tweet wad even dry. This Theissen guy is a real tool. Talk about not a single clue.

Stephan spent most of the address speaking to his 2016 conviction, continuing to deny meningitis was the cause of Ezekiel’s death.

“There was no scientific evidence that he had bacterial meningitis, that was a contrived lie to hold me and my life liable for his passing, ” he said.

“My son died because of the continual mishaps of the medical system.”

[CaptainCrunch]

This guy is a reprehensible human being, the medical system didn't get a chance to work on his son and possibly save him because his son was denied medical care by a uncaring idiot who used the basic powers of voodoo and witch craft to heal his son.

Its too bad they can't play that whole video at his appeal, but its clear that he deserves more then a few months in jail, in all honesty he should be banned from being a father.

What a dirt bag.

If this clown wants to make money I suggest he open a 'Punch Me in the Face' booth. $20 seems about right. $50 its still worth it. Could do some real volume business.

This whole thing makes me so sad. No child deserves parents like that.

[Minnie]

The expo website previously said that Stephan works for a "research-based" organization that offers "nutrient supplementation" in an effort to improve brain and thyroid function.

So he's evidence his own product doesn't work.

"Am I supporting him? No I'm not supporting him. Am I condemning him? No, I'm not condemning him, either. I just don't know enough about what the problem was that's got everybody in a tither. So rather than try to pretend that I know more, I just parted company with him this morning," Thiessen said.

Big fat effing liar. On the news last night, he said no one has a right to judge him (David Stephan) for what's happened. That's a fairly good indicator that he knows exactly. And eff him. I'll judge WooWoo McMurderDaddy if I so choose.

[Fuzz]

Wasn't he supposed to be launched into the sun? What is he still doing here?

Hey Elon, we've got a passenger for your next project. No, he won't be needing that space suit.

The Ethics of CAM: More Harm than Good?

A new book examines the ethics of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Ernst and Smith demonstrate that CAM is inherently unethical and does more harm than good.

The organizers of an upcoming holistic expo in Calgary aren’t troubled by participation in the event from a father convicted of letting his son die.

Well aware of David Stephan’s deletion as a keynote speaker at a wellness expo in February after sponsors objected, the promoter of the Body Soul & Spirit Expo on April 27-29 said he doesn’t see any ethical problems with Stephan’s presence among nine other presenters.

Stephan’s criminal history caused sponsors to protest his appearance at the Calgary Wellness Expo earlier this year, eventually leading to organizers dropping Stephan from the show.

But Armstrong noted that unlike that expo, his Body Soul & Spirit Expo doesn’t depend on sponsors.

“We’re a self-sustaining event … It’s up to the public to decide,” he said.

[CaptainCrunch]

Hopefully the public isn't as stupid as the organizer and either stays away or attends and boo's this murderer off the stage.

[Nufy]

And...he's gone...

From their FB page...

Effective immediately, Body Soul & Spirit has removed David Stephan from participating in the April 27-29 expo. Body Soul & Spirit is now reviewing the exhibitor application process in order to maintain the integrity of all future shows.

it seems like all the organizers of these events are doing is leveraging Stephan for media attention and publicity that they normally could never get or afford.

I hate these holistic people so much. if any group deserves consideration for their own ghetto to keep them from the rest of us, these people would be on my list.

Looks like Grey Eagle Resort put some pressure on them (expressed concern) too as per their twitter a few minutes ago:

Integrity at a "holistic" show is an oxymoron.

[CaptainCrunch]

Ok, I went to his facebook page, because I was curious about his response.

Instead he's angrily railing against Mandatory vaccinations, and government oppression.

One of his followers seems to believe that the movie Logan is actually somewhat of a documentary story on the evils of vaccines.

Ok, that was a crazy journey that page manages to combine extreme anger, religious zealotry, conspiracy theories and fake medical knowledge in one whipped cream topped smoothy of crazy.

A casino that allows smoking is now concerned about health?

The Stephans just won their appeal at the SCC.
