Treatment

J Roberts Sally

Description

In 2013 Sally Roberts was made a scapegoat while fighting for a better clinical deal for her son Neon. Stripped of her parental rights, Neon was denied an advanced treatment which at the time was held as having quackery status. Since this landmark case there has been a complete about-turn by the UK medical establishment, and the first Proton Beam Therapy centre has now opened its doors in the UK. Even the lead radiologist in Neon's case has since completely revised his opinion of this treatment. The treatment Neon was prevented from having is now advocated as a treatment of the future.Sally tells her and Neon's story in this very personal memoir that is both heart-rending and inspiring; a parents' worst nightmare told through the eyes of a mother in the line of fire from the medical establishment and media. This is a journey both gruelling and unthinkable to most people, yet the power of its message is inexorable and its outcome ultimately uplifting and beneficent.

To my darling Neon and Elektra,
with all my love.


This book is the result of my search for a new paradigm
where the treatment is justified and beneficial.

Where there are lovers there will always be haters.


Where there are believers there will always be non-believers.


The principle of duality is Universal Law…
and so it should in our healthcare system.


Balanced by natural and unnatural.
Conventional and complementary.

Throughout history, it has been possible to observe the accusations of, or people’s reactions to, certain individuals shaping our futures. Like Sally Roberts, we feel that something good will come out of the harrowing case of her son, Neon. Neon and his mother have been in the media spotlight, both within the UK and further afield, but rarely has Sally had an opportunity to make her case.

Foreword
A testament to a mother’s natural instincts, intuition, protection, strength, determination and the uncompromising fearlessness of pure love. The Treatment is a primal scream echoing from the depths of Sally’s womb – to create conscious awareness and awaken the nation to the dangers we will all face, if ‘inalienable’ sovereign (parental) rights are not respected or ‘lawfully’ enforced.
The Treatment is an exposé about the untold truths and powerful control of our medical establishment – safeguarded by their own ‘laws’ – borne out of Sally’s personal experience and brave attempts to protect her son (Neon) from the documented harm caused by aggressive ‘cancer treatments’ available on the National Health Service (NHS). Sally expresses her story with raw emotion; she clung on to hope, desperate to shield Neon from long-term harm, whilst the medical authorities callously used emotional blackmail and clever manipulation to convince her ex-husband and the public that she was an irresponsible, cruel mother, hell-bent on denying her son life-saving cancer treatments. Moreover, (as seen in Sally’s case), a parent can also be prosecuted, heavily fined, imprisoned or their children put into the care of social services.
The truth will simply blow your mind.
Being a mother myself and natural health advocate, I can attest that The Treatment reveals ‘the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’.
The medical establishment cannot deny that chemotherapy and radiotherapy not only cause cancer, but also more deaths than the disease itself. But these proven facts are openly ignored because we have been manipulated and misled into trusting that scientists and doctors know ‘best’; have the ‘best’ treatments available and our ‘best’ interests at heart. When in truth the medical establishment is a corporation and the ‘cancer business’ is their most lucrative, financially driven and heartlessly exploited… to our detriment. Sally is just one of thousands (if not millions) of parents, whose rights have been violated without lawful redress, and left with the aftermath of caring for a seriously damaged or disabled loved one for the rest of their lives – or even worse, they may have died because of ‘medical’ abuse, ego, arrogance, ignorance and an outdated/unbalanced healthcare system… reliantly safeguarded by the 1939 Cancer Act, unethical regulations and ‘gold standard’ methodologies. The medical establishment’s reputation clearly proceeds itself; therefore, one needs to ask who are the true ‘Charlatans’?
Sally’s case clearly demonstrated that although she was Neon’s mother, the National Health Service’s ‘rights’ superseded her parental rights. No words can express the depth of fear and sheer horror of having to helplessly watch your child being used as a deterrent, to ensure other parents do not oppose the medical establishment.
Hence, Sally’s fight was certainly not in vain, and although she was vilified by the media, just two years later her case alerted the King family to proton beam therapy for their five-year-old son Ashya, suffering from brain cancer. And even though Mr and Mrs King were jailed for a few days for defying the NHS and also lost temporary custody of Ashya, the authorities’ atrocious mishandling of their case (which showed an absolute lack of compassion and empathy), caused a huge national outcry which reverberated around the world. It also drew attention to the abuse of parental rights, as well as highlighting proton beam therapy as a less invasive ‘orthodox’ treatment for brain cancer. The entire fiasco brought shame and embarrassment to all involved and thankfully, Ashya was successfully treated in Prague. Plus that same year, another mother (Ms Barnes) also elected proton beam therapy for her son ‘Alex’, who was successfully treated in America.
Seven years later, after being treated like a criminal; hounded like a fugitive by the police; losing custody of Neon – who against her express wishes was forcibly treated with aggressive radiotherapy – proton beam therapy was finally introduced to the UK on 23 January 2019.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to endorse The Treatment , and I commend Sally for bravely and unashamedly pouring out her heart for the love of her son. The Treatment shines a bright light, exposing the darker side of the medical establishment and is a poignant reminder to those in the profession to ‘first do no harm’. Hopefully with proton beam therapy now available in the UK and with the integration of natural treatments, no one else will have to endure Neon’s torturous ‘treatment’ or Sally’s heart-wrenching experience. Only through reading this book will people truly understand what Sally had to suffer – for the benefit of others.
This book is a ‘Neon’ torch and shining beacon of hope for all cancer sufferers. Lighting and guiding the way for safer treatments and raising awareness for the protection of ‘inalienable’ sovereign (parental) rights.

With love, light, peace, gratitude and abundant blessings.

Prologue
December 21, 2012 was a cold and gloomy winter’s day. Helicopters were hovering overhead in the sombre sky, people with notepads and cameras were pressing in and surrounding me as I stepped out of the taxi outside the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand in Westminster, London. The sound of cameras clicking echoed through the air despite the chopping noise of the helicopter blades circling above.
I walked towards the flashbulbs that created a wall of bright light. Photographers scrambled all over each other, eager to get the best pictures and journalists were doing whatever they could for their sought-after soundbites.
‘Sally.’
‘Over here, Sally. Look this way.’
I was front-page news and being painted as a monster who was denying her son life-saving cancer treatment. In reality, I was seeking the best post-surgical treatment for a medulloblastoma brain tumour. The conventional treatment was an umbrella approach: life-threatening, overprescribed and outdated. There were better ways to treat Neon, but these other techniques were not yet available in England.
My son’s brain tumour had been successfully removed. However, the post-surgery protocol prescribed a course of whole brain and spine radiation and a year’s course of chemotherapy as a precautionary measure to destroy the possibility of a floating rogue cancer cell.
The physicians caring for Neon warned me about the devastating side effects of the treatment. With the medical team unable to show me any credible statistics or studies proving radiation was necessary, all while making it difficult for me to obtain a second opinion, knowing there were more advanced treatments elsewhere I could not agree to allow the radiation to proceed. With the strict time restrictions, the medical industry (backed by the legal establishment) had used their full force against me.
Up against the time constraints of the protocol a
