Photo: NZ HeraldAn anti-vaccination campaigner who ordered a diabetic to stop taking insulin and injected him with an unknown substance will today be sentenced on a charge of criminal nuisance. Initially, Savage had the diabetic lie on a therapeutic mat to stimulate ion channels and gave him magnesium orally. Savage stopped the diabetic's prescribed regular insulin injections because he believed they were no longer needed with his alternative treatment regime. The summary stated the victim was in an ill state, unable to stop Savage and was worried about the effects of the "medicine".
