The judge emphasized that Hongchi Xiao was aware of Danielle Carr-Gomm's refusal of insulin treatment, stating, 'You knew from late in the afternoon of day one that Danielle Carr-Gomm had stopped taking her insulin, and you made it clear to her you supported this.' This highlights the grave irresponsibility and negligence Xiao exhibited, knowing the potential consequences of his actions.
Xiao's promotion of paida lajin therapy—claiming it could release 'poisonous waste'—shows a dangerous blend of pseudoscience and deception. Critics assert such methods lack scientific backing and have led patients to suffer severe health consequences.
Justice Robert Bright noted Xiao’s continued promotion of paida lajin even while imprisoned, indicating a lack of remorse. He stated, 'You have shown no sign of remorse as you continued to promote paida lajin in prison,' showcasing Xiao’s dangerous commitment to his beliefs.
Matthew Carr-Gomm, Danielle's son, reflected on her desperate search for alternative treatments, expressing concern about the allure of unproven therapies. He noted she had previously faced dire health issues after attending another workshop by Xiao.
