All I can say is I hope that this child survives and the actions his mother took to save his life were not in vain.

You can find "many experts" to argue any point you wish. The general consensus is that this is the only course of action to give her son a chance of living.
There are no reliable alternatives to medical practices for one simple reason - once you've proved that any kind of medical procedure works, then it becomes medicine.
What these alternative medicine pushers need to do, is put their work up for examination, explain how it works, and come up with a measurement for testing it.
What doesn't constitute evidence are a few anecdotes.
It's absurd to think this woman, despite having the best interests of her child at heart, is qualified to sign her son to certain death.
