i felt about my mother dying and how i'd wished i was more responsible when it happened, that i'd wished i had tried to explore more ideas, like belle did' ms smith said ms gibson 'pushed'   and nearly convinced her   not to vaccinate her children, but that she did not blame her for nearly making that choice, which she 'backed out of at the last minute' 'that was my own choice, based on

haven't spoken to her for months, years 'i just want her to confirm or deny (her diagnoses) so people who put their faith in her, invested in her   they need to know 'they need to know, if they've rejected conventional medicine on what she's saying 'it's their lives, it's not a game' ms smith said of belle gibson (above): 'if i saw belle now, i would just ask her to tell the truth that's all i want' after three years of sometimes personal exchanges online, ms gibson and ms smith stopped talking after the development of the whole pantry app 'if i saw belle now, i would just ask her to tell the truth that's all i want 'i don't want to see her beg people for mercy i don't want her to beg for forgiveness   i just want the truth 'come clean, be transparent, let the world know where you're at if you were misdiagnosed, own up to it 'belle did create an exceptional application, that is loved by many, but i think she should sell it for what it is, complimentary medicines and a diet   not life saving treatment 'all people want is the truth from her' close friends told daily mail australia on wednesday that ms gibson may have left for the united states police visited her home on tuesday
