Aidan Fenton, 7, was made to fast before ‘slapping therapy’, then he vomited and died [View all]

DETECTIVES are investigating whether a diabetic ­Sydney boy who died after ­attending a “slapping therapy” workshop conducted by a self-proclaimed Chinese healer was also taken off insulin.

The family of seven-year-old Aidan Fenton was taking part in an $1800 week-long ­alternative Chinese medicine workshop at the Tasly Healthpac Centre in Hurstville when he died.

Police have spoken to a Chinese therapist who ­advocates the use of slapping therapy until ­patients are bruised to cure ­illnesses and rid the body of poisons.
...
“The greater the pain and bruises while slapping means there is more poison inside the body,” he told a seminar in South Africa last year. “You can be your own doctor. We were all born with a self-­healing power but we simply ignore it and spend millions of dollars paying for medications. Nature heals, doctors are only assistants.”
