Homeopath's baby 'died of infections'
The nine-month-old daughter of a homeopath died of multiple infections that caused bleeding in her lungs and airways, an inquest was told this morning.
Gloria Mary Thomas had suffered from severe eczema for much of her brief life and had been treated by her father, Thomas Sam, a practising homeopath.
The girl had also missed two appointments with specialist dermatologists when her parents took her to India for further homeopathic treatment, the Coroners Court in Glebe has heard.
Forensic pathologist Ella Sugo told the court Gloria had zinc, protein and vitamin A deficiency, a fatty liver, and bacterial infections on her skin, her eyes and in the blood stream, the court heard.
