Oregon mother jailed for treating daughter’s cancer with homeopathic remedies

In a highly controversial case, an Oregon mother was sentenced to 90 days of jail and 3 years of probation for essentially making health decisions for her now 17-year-old daughter that the state didn’t like. The details are found in an Oregon Live article by Noelle Crombie on Feb. 27.

The article explains that the mother, Christina Gale Dixon, 39, decided to treat her daughter with CBD and other homeopathic remedies instead of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery (conventional treatments for cancer). This wasn’t always the case, as her daughter, Kylee Dixon, was first diagnosed with liver cancer in 2018 and underwent three rounds of chemotherapy.

The article explains that the Oregon Department of Human Services got involved in late 2018 when the mother wasn’t allowing her daughter to be treated according to the allelopathic physicians. The state then took custody of her daughter, yet allowed her to live with her mother until Christina fled with her daughter to Las Vegas to avoid a scheduled surgery in June 2019.

The law found the daughter in Las Vegas, then took the daughter away from the mother and put her in foster care back in Oregon. Christina remained on the run until she turned herself into the authorities in August 2019.

The article explains that Deputy District Attorney Brain Powell urged the judge to sentence Christina to 19 months in prison.

The daughter did undergo successful surgery in 2020 according to the prosecutors. The article explains that Klyee wasn’t at the courtroom, yet supported her mother on her Facebook page. The father, Jim Dixon, was in the courtroom and after the hearing said he supported the prison sentence for his ex-wife.

This is an interesting story in Oregon that has far-reaching implications for parents who want to choose alternative paths of cancer treatment over conventional methods. What we learn from this case is freedom of choice with cancer treatments is no longer available in Oregon for parents.

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...

The Online World is Satan's Kingdom

The future is offline for those who love the truth and freedom. What is the online world to you? What is it in general? Isn’t it reasonable to conclude that it is going to be a closed system one day, only accessible to those who go along with the agenda of those who are in power? Those who rule the world control the people through money. The central banks control the monetary systems, thus, the economies, politics, commerce, and everything else that runs off money. If I wanted to control the entire world, I would create online technology, including smart technology. This is how I would control the masses to go along with my agenda. The Bible explains that this world system is in Satan’s control. That’s why he offered it to Jesus in the wilderness, as a failed temptation. We can conclude that the online world then was created for the sole purpose of controlling everyone who participates in the world system. In just two decades the world has become almost completely dependent upon the on...
