Jesus. Why do you guys even bother posting with CiC, hes a moron. Move on.
I'd like to get back to the poor little boy, and his two degenerate parents: Quote:
In light of recent events I am going to focus this update solely on the CBC article that has come out and created a great deal of trouble for my wife and I. It is this CBC article that has served to be the reference point for which many other articles have taken their information (or misinformation) from. I will be breaking down some of the points that were covered in that article that at best were mistakes, and at worst, an intentional dissemination of misinformation that has served to be extremely provocative and defaming of my wife and I and the organization that I work for. Ultimately this has created a hostile environment for my wife and I to be in. Let me put this straight, my wife and I are now in a situation that we have so much animosity being directed our way that we are actually concerned for our security and are currently considering legal action against CBC.
Now many of you are coming to this page extremely inflamed and wanting to voice your complete disdain towards my wife and I. And to be completely honest… I don’t blame you. I would feel the same way towards someone else if I read a similar type article as what you have and adopted it as the truth. Now there is the key word… truth. What is the truth?, or better yet, what is the WHOLE TRUTH as it never does anyone any service to omit key facts and yet cherry pick other facts in order to create the slant that you desire. This CBC article (or any other article that has stemmed from it) is clearly not the WHOLE TRUTH. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of the article is truth, but conveyed in such a way to create a distorted picture. Other points are complete mistruths (which I will cover) that only serve to create huge amounts of animosity towards my wife and I and the organization that I work for.
The first question that should be asked is would CBC intentionally put out an article that would distort the facts and create hostility towards my wife and I? This is the question that I have been pondering myself. Well upon further investigation I find one particular reason that they may have done this with intent. This brings me to my second question. Who owns CBC? I did some digging and it turns out that wikipedia has some light to shed on this matter. “The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), officially branded as CBC/Radio-Canada, is a Canadian crown corporation that serves as the national public radio and television broadcaster.” Please take note of “Canadian Crown Corporation”. What relevance does this have? Well Collet and I are currently in a court battle that is being initiated by the “Canadian Crown”. Does this seem like a conflict of interest to anyone else? Can we actually expect objective reporting from an organization that is government owned by the same government that is taking my wife and I to court? The very same government that attempted to shut my father’s company down in the early 2000’s but lost in the courts. I would suspect no and it is likely that there was some ill intent from the way the article was presented and how facts were misrepresented.
Now to point out the absolute misrepresentations of the facts that would only serve to be inflammatory.
1.“In a bid to boost his immune system, the couple gave the boy — who was lethargic and becoming stiff — various home remedies, such as water with maple syrup, juice with frozen berries…”
This is a major misrepresentation and has led other news articles to use the headlines of “A Baby Died After His Parents Allegedly Tried To Cure His Meningitis With Syrup”. First off, anyone in their right mind would see how ridiculous this is, and if it wasn’t such a serious matter, it would be laughable. The idea of boosting an immune system with maple syrup, juice and frozen fruit is so illogical that I am left here shaking my head. As all of these items contain high amounts of simple sugars, I would suspect that they would serve to feed viruses and bacteria and actually do the opposite of boosting the immune system.
2.”Court also heard the Stephans tried treating Ezekiel with Empowerplus.”
This once again is another complete mistruth. Why would we try to treat Ezekiel for an infectious disease with a multi-vitamin that assists with brain function? This is a multi-vitamin that my wife and I take as well as our children (in smaller doses) on a consistent basis. If Ezekiel was taking EMPowerplus prior to his illness, which he was, then how would it possibly have an effect on his illness when he contracted it while he was already taking the EMPowerplus. I would suspect that this comment was intentionally placed in the article to create an inflammatory response to our organization that successfully beat Health Canada (equivalent of U.S. F.D.A.) and the crown back in the mid 2000’s, and has subsequently generated massive attacks on Truehope’s social media accounts.
3.”The family has posted on social media that they feel they are being unfairly persecuted and that their approach to health should be respected.”
This is completely untrue and it would be a far stretch for anyone to come to this conclusion after reading all of our posts. However, it does serve to illustrate a level or arrogance on our part in regard to our practices, that in light of our son passing would generate huge levels of hostility towards us and subsequently direct that hostility on to our Facebook page. This indeed has taken place and is probably one of the reasons that you are reading this right now.
As for the rest of the article and the way it is portrayed, please consider that an artist can paint the most diverse of portraits all the while using the exact same paint. It is not about what the facts actually are, but rather how you display them that ultimately serves to form opinions in one way or another.
Since this court case has begun, there has been a great deal of opposition and outright malicious attacks from various organizations, some having pharmaceutical interests and others just having a very strong opposing agenda. My wife and I have come to the point that it is of no affect. Our only desire is that the truth comes out. For those that have been actively opposing us and even sought to hurt us, we forgive you and clear ourselves of the bitterness and hatred.
Regardless of your views towards my wife and I, may God bless you all with an abundance of Love!

What strikes me is he poses a bunch of questions about "why" someone would do some of the things they are accused of, and yet makes no effort to provide any sort of reasonable explanation of why their kid died of a curable disease. |
