I’m not sure how long of a recovery is possible, but one of my neighbors did 12-18 months of treatment including some new modalities and is healthy and cancer free for the moment 2 years after treatment. A step in the right direction, at least!

People don’t always do what is smartest and in their own best interests.
Some people have a lifetime pattern of unhelpful, even self-destructive, decisions along those lines.
That remark is meant generally. I have no personal acquaintance with the persons in the matter being discussed in this thread.

Agreed. And they often don’t have people around them who have their best interests in mind so the behaviours are not only not shut down but actually encouraged- Especially if that person is successful in their little sphere or a “celebrity”.

Gee, 2027 just happens to be the year of the end of his FEI suspension. One would imagine if he had the documents he says he does, he would present them to the entities - not to the public - but to the entities that have the ability to make decisions about his life. Instead, he issues a press release. I don’t believe a word of it.
The whole thing is “woe is me” - you got caught, that’s your woe.

If I post what they said I’ll get blasted for not having proof. But people who were involved with him have a lot to say.
I doubt anyone will come forward when they know he’s been a bad actor for some quite some time and they turned a blind eye.

Let’s face it, the man is a criminal and life long criminals don’t change their spots.
It’s a slap in the face to those of us who have lost loved ones to cancer to see him yapping his face off about poor him no one believes him blah blah blah.
My dad died of cancer last year. Every time I see Lamazes face now I want to punch it. Sorry not sorry.

This isn’t meant the way I am aware it might sound…
But the only way Lamaze could regain any credibility at this point would be to actually die from cancer. He has lied and cheated and fed everyone a 24 hour buffet of bullshit for so long that even having his “medical team” step forward with evidence would be suspect.
I don’t in any way wish for him to die from glioblastoma or anything else. But his reputation is shot to hell and he’s the one who kept firing the gun.

That whole part does not make sense to me.
The way I read it, he is trying to say that his treatment plan is so secret that he and the doctor can not say anything about it until whatever date he is saying.
That does not prevent him having his doctor submit a statement to the court saying that Eric is being treated for XYZ disease.
I can see no reason why, if there really is a doctor treating him for XYZ disease that he would not ask them to produce such a document.
This is a very good point.

And again, there are clearly false statements about his health in the press release, given he was out competing at horse shows on dates when he said he was too sick to attend court or to understand that court was even taking place.

I sent this article to a friend when it was posted and said he sounds unhinged. It’s just a ranting diatribe, and also totally avoids the subject of him ripping off clients (don’t forget he was already convicted in at least one case).
He basically accused his lawyer of forging the medical documents or having them forged and admitted to court without his knowledge, totally avoids talking about how he was known to have been competing when he claimed to be too sick to go to court (and also claims he instructed his lawyer to never use his sickness as a way to delay court proceedings), and then says his behaviour was a result of his medical conditions. Plus the whole artificial kidney that the medical community is unaware exists.
The only possible explanation I can think of for the medical records being sealed until 2027 is if he is part of a clinical trial that is ongoing, but I don’t see how that would prevent his doctor from providing a statement (not confidential records).

I think he spoke in vague terms about his health that way in hopes that smart people who were charitable would come up with explanations along these lines, and fill in the blanks for him.
He’s a con artist. Through and through.

These horse spot articles that are linked in this thread are now dead links.
Do they work for anyone else?? Or did Horse Sport do a dirty delete!

I don’t need to see anything further than the alleged “artificial kidney” yo know that Eric is as full of crap as a Christmas turkey.

Honestly the only thing I could think reading this article was “artificial kidney is real?” That would be absolutely incredible if true.
I would also like to learn more about this “returning” horses that don’t work out years later and lame. If I pay enough upfront I can do that??
Greg Aziz is a piece of work, no doubt about it, the Alabama case was pretty egregious. This whole things with the horses is sounding more and more like two unreasonable people who ended up in court.

I know two people who died from glioblastoma in the past 5-7 years. They were also involved in novel treatments (in fact I introduced them so they could compare notes), and none of their medical records were sealed or confidential. In fact, they were eager to reach out to people suffering from glioblastoma to help find a treatment that worked.

Who puts a glioblastoma patient into an artificial kidney trial?
I’m not a doctor. I understand that if a patient has two complex and very serious health conditions at the same time, possibly unrelated, some drastic measures might be tried.
The way LaMaze frames it, though, and has done in court and public statements through various channels, lacks plausibilty, to me.
I’m also not sure who is the intended target audience for his statement. Who he wants to read and absorb it.
The FEI? Future customers? The random horse show Public? Canadian sport fans? All of the above?
To hire a professional communications firm seems to indicate a larger purpose to this communication. I’m not involved enough to know what it is, though.

Good point. Trials don’t typically accept people who have other serious conditions. One, they don’t want their guinea pigs dying a month into testing from something completely unrelated; they’re hoping for the best case scenario that everyone in the test pool makes it through to the end of a successful testing phase. And two, they don’t want anything that might directly interfere with the product they’re testing. For something like an artificial kidney, the developers aren’t going to start off by taxing it to the nth degree to see how it handles, say, chemotherapy drugs. That test will come much, much later, assuming it even gets that far. By which point it’s probably not “top secret” anymore.
Twenty minutes of internet research would have told Lamaze that “artificial kidney” was not a plausible story.
