The Saskatoon Star Phoenix interviewed James McCormack, a UBC professor in the faculty of pharmaceutical sciences, for an article on the factors that led to the death of a young boy after his parents refused to give him conventional medicine.
McCormack reviewed studies of a pill supplement that the boy took and said they were mostly cohort or case studies. He warned against using the word ‘cure’ when dealing with psychiatric disorders since they are not comparable to physical illness.
