FLOYD, Va. (AP) -- The Eastern Shore teenager who won a court battle against state officials who tried to force him to undergo chemotherapy for his cancer says he's in remission.
Cancer patient Starchild Abraham Cherrix, 16, talks about fighting cancer with alternative treatments instead of chemotherapy during a news conference Friday, Sept. 15, 2006, in Jackson, Miss.
17-year-old Starchild Abraham Cherrix has been undergoing radiation treatments over the past year and both he and his doctor say the lymphatic cancer is gone.
Dr. Arnold Smith, a radiation oncologist in Mississippi, says tests show the final tumor in Cherrix's body -- a nickel-sized mass in his right lung -- appears to be gone.
"The scan came out completely clear,” said Cherrix. “In other words, no cancer whatsoever. No signs of cancer at all.
Cherrix said he understands that he is not cured of Hodgkin's disease, but he's optimistic.
"We're rejoicing about the news there's nothing in the lung now, but we're also looking at the long term,” said Cherrix. “There's still nothing on the upper region of my body. So everything is positive."
Watch the report The teenager now lives with his mother and four younger siblings in Floyd. They moved there in May from the Eastern Shore.
He refused to continue chemotherapy treatments last year after they made him sick. The state charged his parents with neglect, then worked out an agreement with his lawyers to allow the teen to undergo alternatives to chemo.
Now, Cherrix says he has a future to look forward to.
"At the moment, I'm just thinking about enjoying myself as much as possible, because I've just wasted two years of my life,” said Cherrix. “I'm going to get all that back. I'm going to start doing everything like a normal teenager would do.”

I certainly hold Abraham in my thoughts and prayers. I know he had worsened a year ago, and made the decision to undergo radiation treatments, which he had been under going this past year.
Apparently his doctors are stating that the Lymphatic Cancer is gone. . .I'm hoping for the very best for this young man!

I would guess that we all wish the young man the very best.
However...when will you belivers in allopathy concede that cancer should always appear first in the lymphatic system since the lymphatic system is your first line of defense against cancer?
What is sad is that the cut, burn, poison, and torture efforts of the allopaths seldom works and never ever removes the cause of the cancer.
This is particulary true of women and breast cancer. Ohh, my goodness, you have a swollen lymph node and it has cancer cells in it. Let us remove your entire breast, ply you with cancer causing chemicals, and then irradiate you with cancer causing radiation all in the name of medicine and our God ( who shall go un-named).
Natural cancer can be resolved via natural means. Induced cancers may require providing the body with some outside help to cope with the disease.

And then stick in expensive, potentially very dangerous breast implants... assuring that MANY MANY MANY will have more operations and more assaults on an immune system already weakened.

$15,000 per week, for QUACK treatments in a Mexican clinic, ran by an unlicensed practitioner, who has been ran out of the this country, isn't cheap either!

Inasmuch as cancer is simply uncontrolled cellular growth, there is absolutely no reason why it has to emerge in the lymphatic system.
