Native tradional medicine as alternative

[[]Doo[]Der]

A little background.
Or Google full comment nationalpost traditional medicine

Recently there have been a couple of cases of children suffering from leukemia where medical treatment was expected to provide a 85-90 % cure.
A judge has ruled Native 'traditional' treatment as chosen by a parent. (sweet grass etc.), is their right. This seems counter to the rights of the child to a likely cure as opposed to a near certain death.

I don't think the judge-court acted in the best interest of the child and I think there should be an appeal. I also understand Judge Edwards is of the First Nation Confederacy?

A prior case (J.W. re blood), was ruled in favor of the child's rights by the Supreme Court. How can these cases be different?
The traditional native treatment wasn't denied them, it was being accepted along with chemo.

Her treatment team determined that she had a 90%-95% chance of being cured with chemotherapy, but would almost certainly die without it. Shortly after the chemotherapy treatment began, J.J.’s mother, D.H., withdrew consent for the treatment and sought to have J.J. treated solely with traditional aboriginal medicine

I just don't get it.

Further though claiming the right to Traditional Medicine', the parents took kids to a Florida treatment center * which IS NOT Native. I would think that negates their claim

Surely this judgement denies a child's rights?

* Quackery.
