The Legacy of Chad Green erick rendoza 32 Views • 4 years ago

SCITUATE -- Nearly three decades ago, 3-year-old Chad Green died of leukemia in a small apartment in Tijuana, Mexico. His parents had fled there with their son to treat his cancer with laetrile and a special diet, a decision the boy's doctors back in Massachusetts had fought in court.
The drug made from apricot pits was thought then by many Americans to be a miracle cure for cancer. It has since been declared ineffective and potentially poisonous, and has been outlawed in the United States.

Since her son's death, Diana Green Meyer divorced Chad's father, remarried and raised three children. And in a new book, "Chad's Triumph: The Story of the Life of Chad Green," she tells the story of a mother's deep faith in God as well as the mistakes she made trying to save her son.

Among her greatest regrets: the end of the relationship between the family and Dr. John Truman, Chad's pediatric oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Once fierce opponents -- Truman got a court order to return the boy to the hospital for conventional chemotherapy treatment -- Meyer said she realizes now that they both had Chad's best interests at heart, they just had completely different ideas about how to make him well.

During the five years she spent writing the book, Meyer said she tried to find Truman, whom she last saw in 1980 at a Plymouth Superior Court hearing. He is called Dr. Thedman in the book, which will be released Tuesday.

The Patriot Ledger found him this week in New York City, where he is vice chairman of the pediatrics department at Columbia University Medical Center and Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.

For the first time since Chad's death, Meyer and Truman talked to one another Wednesday through e-mail messages.

'High regard'

Truman said Tuesday: "I always had very high regard for her I never doubted her love for Chad or her personal integrity," he said.

When Chad was being treated for acute lymphocytic leukemia, the survival rate was about 50 percent, Truman said. Now, it is about 80 percent.

What still stands out for those who remember the case is how strongly each side believed in its opinion. As the struggle unfolded in 1978 and 1979, it quickly moved from hospital rooms to courtrooms in Hingham, Plymouth and Boston, and to the front pages of newspapers throughout the United States and beyond.

Taking their case directly to the public, the Greens appeared on the "Phil Donahue Show" three times as media interest grew in the use of unconventional medical treatments and parents' rights to make medical decisions for their children that went against medical opinion.

Dramatic story

The story had compelling elements: a winsome toddler, powerful doctors and lawyers from a world-renowned medical institution, and two young, frightened parents, skeptical of the 50-50 survival odds offered by the chemotherapy treatment of that time.

"It wasn't so much that people wanted the opportunity to treat cancer the way we were, but they didn't want their children taken from them in a court action they had no say in," Meyer said. "They didn't want to be forced to follow a medical procedure they hadn't chosen."

On Oct. 12, 1979, Chad died in Tijuana with both his parents at his side He was 3 years, 10 months old. Three months before, Diana Green had stopped the chemotherapy treatments Chad had been receiving at the Tijuana clinic, believing that God would heal her child. Chad's Mexican doctor had tried to persuade her to resume the treatment, but she would not.

Chad Green was buried in Hastings, Neb. More than a year later, in December 1980, the Greens returned to the Plymouth courtroom where they were found guilty of contempt of court but freed from additional punishment.

Referring to the hospital doctors and lawyers, she wrote in "Chad's Triumph":

"When we chose up sides and stood against each other in fierce combat to prove our own positions as 'right,' all failed to recognize their goals had been compromised and tarnished. The trust needed to build together on Chad's behalf had been dealt a devastating blow I deeply regret this and I have grieved and agonized going over and over that fact."

Even if Chad had continued chemotherapy at Mass General and at home, she said, he might still have died. No one knows, but Meyer does believe Truman bought him more time by getting the court order compelling further conventional treatment. Chad's leukemia came back in Massachusetts three months after his parents stopped giving him chemotherapy at home. And in Tijuana, the same thing happened -- the cancer recurred and he died three months after the chemotherapy stopped, Meyer said.

The Greens wanted definite answers, promises of a cure, and conventional medicine could not provide that -- then or now.

Meyer has since watched her stepmother refuse treatment and die of cancer. Her advice for anyone else facing a life-threatening illness is to learn as much about the illness and nutrition as possible.

"But do not negate your doctors' advice or any prescribed medication, unless that option has failed," she said.

Asked why she wrote the book now, Meyer said, "I had it half written in 1984 but then didn't have the time."

She and Jerry Green had two more children -- a daughter, Jessie, in 1982 and a son, Cody in 1985 -- then were divorced in 1989, and after several years as a working single mother, she got remarried in 1991 and had another son, Daniel, who is now 15.

"It was in my heart but I never had time until five years ago," she said. "And it is a benefit of God's timing that the years have provided a better opportunity to look back. I was so young, everything happened so quickly back then, and God kept putting it into my heart to do this."

Hi Everyone Sandman Here,

This video is brought to you by a donation from Slow Learner but what he has to say is lengthy so before I share it let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor Lindsay Transmission: Anyways, now back to the video. Here's what Slow Learner has to say and I quote: "Hello Sandman, This is a follow up on a video you put online December 24, 2015 called "dating fat girls" where I emailed you about my horrible breakup that almost ruined my life. I ask your listeners to watch that video to see how bad getting involved with the wrong person as a blue pill beta male can be. You can refer to me "Slow Learner" now, because it seems it takes me a long time to figure things out. It has been 5 years since that video, and I really started the MGTOW path in 2017. I have been absorbing as much material from your channel and other guys like Coach Greg Adams and Better Bachelor and Red Pill Men's Health and Donovan Sharpe. This has been better therapy for me than all of the counseling sessions I ever attended. My ex of 7 years contacted me in 2018 after the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup, using that as an excuse to "breadcrumb" back into my life. She congratulated me on the team finally getting the cup, then asked me if I am dating anyone or in a relationship. When I told her that I am focusing on paying my bills and improving my life, and that dating is not on the table at the moment she replies "fair enough". What kind of response is that? "Fair Enough"? This was not some agreement I was trying to iron out with her, this was me fixing my own issues. Any decent normal human being would say something like "that is a really good idea" or "I hope you meet your goals and succeed". Not a single word of decency, just "fair enough". What the hell do you think she meant by that??? Then she comes back and says her new husband is a struggle to be with and is depressed. I think she is making him unhappy and he sees who she really is. A stuck up arrogant controlling woman. She married a poor white trash guy who put her on a pedestal who thought he hit the jackpot because she makes close to $200,000 a year and works for a big pharma company and has a brand new 3,000 square foot townhouse. She said she married him because he gets her coffee without asking, he cleans the place where as we could afford a maid service together, he does things for her like puts up book shelves, and he has a lot of friends and nerdy interests like Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons. It seems like she wanted a nerd butler with a big social circle she could work her way into and make his friends her friends. Before she lost all the weight she said once "I want to be fabulous". If this is fabulous I want no part of it. I am so glad I never married this woman. I went through hell for about 3 or 4 years mentally and eventually learned about female nature but more importantly learned some things about myself that led me to bad choices with women. I am sharing this to be honest and helpful because some guys might benefit from my newfound awareness. It turns out I had a bad codependency issue, combined with what is known as anxious attachment style and bipolar disorder. I encourage the listeners to look these issues up and learn about them. This is more common than we realize with men. I came from an abusive family and lost my mom as a kid to cancer and my dad to his drinking finally catching up to him. For decades I felt like some sort of lost dog looking for love and validation because of what happened. Fear of being alone. Fear of rejection. I only recently put the pieces together and understood this.

Hi Everyone Sandman Here,

This video is brought to you by a donation from Jonathan and here's what he has to say: "Hey Sandman, I've been thinking about MGTOW and the ironies of it lately. I remember someone saying, which may have been you, that if we're going MGTOW then why do we bring up women? This made me delve deeper into MGTOW and its philosophy. It's philosophy is essentially breaking the matrix by understanding female nature to a point where a man does not want to associate with one or at least get married to one. Also MGTOW touches upon society and our roles as a male in a matrix that we (MGTOW) do not accept. The whole point of MGTOW is for men to go their own way, if that's the case then why do we need affirmation of this all the time? Is it because when I get a dose of red pill of your daily content I do feel better, but my brain is trying to wire me to get a wife and have babies? Technically there shouldn't be a community for people doing their own thing, ironically. I can't give enough credit to MGTOW and red pill, I am not trying to knock it down at all, as I grew up with no father image in my life. But imagine a group whose tagline is "Doing Our Own Thing" group everyone is doing their own thing. Maybe I'm digging too deep. Also I find that going to /r/MGTOW they are always bringing up how women are going to hit the wall by 30 and that they'll regret their 20s from riding the CC. Or that she left a good relationship for a bad boy and now regrets it. Although it is very hurtful to be left for someone else, why do we bring this up if we understand female nature? It seems like when there is a chance to bring up womens crappy nature they are there to criticise it, it kind of turns me off. Not because I feel bad for females, not at all, but this shouldn't really be a surprise anymore. It's reaffirmation for a belief in my previous point. If men were truly going their own way, shouldn't they not seek any guidance or groups and just, well do their own thing. Also there are women who were with their husbands/boyfriends but the husbands cheated on them and manipulated them as well and treated them like crap and maybe even beat them. I don't really enjoy women playing the victim card, but I kind of feel that men on MGTOW just go after the worst bunch of women to compare to to have confirmation bias for their ideologies and beliefs. It's kind of like Liberals comparing Nazi supportors who are Conservatives and Conservatives who compare Antifa supportoers who are Liberal, there's never a solution or any olive branch extended. People will always compare the worst of the other side to have confirmation for their belief if they look for it. Anyways I think I'm going crazy or maybe you could straighten my thinking, thanks again!" Well Jonathan thanks for the donation and topic. I'll get to it in just a moment but let me first tell everyone about today's spnosor Passive Income With CJ:
