Toddler Dies After Anti-Vaxxer Parents Said to Treat Meningitis With Maple Syrup
When Ezekiel Stephan became ill in 2012 his parents allegedly didn't take him to a doctor.
The 19-month-old boy from Alberta, Canada, was reportedly treated at home by his parents, David and Collet. The Stephans pursued a treatment of natural supplements including whey protein,
ginger root, olive leaf extract, horse radish root, juice, frozen berries and water with maple syrup. According to reports, they pointedly refused to seek medical treatment even as their son's
condition worsened, and he became "lethargic" and "stiff," the Canadian Broadcast Corporation reported. The boy was only airlifted to a hospital once he stopped breathing.
Ezekiel died five days after arriving at a hospital for treatment in Calgary. Doctors informed the parents that the cause was meningitis. The story was reported by the CBC though the details of
the account have been disputed by the Stephans family.
