Transcript: Hear Collet Stephan about seeing the naturopath

Transcript of an excerpt of Collet Stephan's interview with the police, published by the CBC. (Line breaks added to improve readability.)

And uh Tuesday we had to go into Lethbridge to sign papers,
and um with one of the symptoms of meningitis uh the back and the neck will arch,
and uh on the medical website that I was on, the WebMD, they had two exercises that you could test your child to see if meningitis was a possibility,
and the one it's called the Burzinski or something and the child is laying on his back and you put your hand lightly behind the back of their head and tilt it forward to try and touch their chin to their chest, and if their knees start to raise, um it's a sign of meningitis which he did immediately, his knees raised,
and then the second exercise is laying on their back you put your hand over the kneecap and your other hand um behind their ankle, and and lift their leg straight up to do a 90 degree angle with their body, um but if their knee starts to bend uh, there's obviously some tightness, stiffness which is another sign of the viral meningitis which he had done.
This was all on the Monday. Um I did this testing as soon as he woke up after after the birth attendant left, and so that's when we started everything and he started improving immediately

and so sorry back to Tuesday having to go to having to go back into Lethbridge, because he was so stiff still uh we could not get him in his car seat to to be able to buckle him up and um, I had folded the seats down in the Blazer and put in the ... his mattress and then I had laid beside him so we could get these papers we signed at the lawyers,
and um I had called a natural doctor in Lethbridge, Dr Pike, earlier that day and just asked um for menin... for viral meningitis what they would suggest and they had a, they have a product called BLAST that is filled with lots of um homeopathics, natural antibiotics, and immune booster, to help boost that immune,
and so we signed the papers and got that, and I gave him one millilitre of that um as soon as we received it, and um I decided that I would drive home 'cause I get car sick so my husband laid with him in the back and he started responding very quickly, um 'cause we were continuing with the fluids, we brought them with us, um he had relaxed, he wasn't so arched anymore, he had become a lot more alert, um he was reaching over and playing with my husband's lip, um trying ... he was trying to make a sound or whatever, he was much more alert, and soon as we got home we gave him a lot more fluid again, we were trying to build up those electrolytes and uh boost his immune through um um the EMPower Plus,


The "exercises" Collet Stephan refers to are Brudzinski's sign and Kernig's sign.

The "natural doctor, Dr Pike" is not a doctor, she is a naturopath. She now uses the name Tracey Tannis.

EMPowerplus is supplement alleged to treat bipolar illness and many other conditions. The company that sells it, Truehope, was co-founded by Collet Stephan's father-in-law, Tony Stephan. David Stephan is the vice president.

  1. It astounds that this couple and their supporters are still claiming this is a conspiracy and they thought it was 'only' croup! This clearly shows they both suspected meningitis but still refused to seek medical attention.
