Amish Girl With Leukemia Getting "Natural Treatments"

The grandfather of a Medina County Amish girl with leukemia says she continues to receive natural treatments while hiding with her parents, amid a legal battle over whether she'll be forced to resume chemotherapy.Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital fought the family's decision to end chemotherapy for Sarah Herschberger, saying she would die without it. Her grandfather says blood and imaging tests show the cancer is gone. A state appeals court has appointed a guardian to take over medical decisions for the child.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
