An alternative therapy practitioner who urged a boy's parents to withhold conventional medicine or else he won't benefit from the traditional treatment will spend at least three years in prison.

The man who promoted a 'self-healing' practice which prioritised non-medical interventions over conventional medicine was re-sentenced after successfully appealing his initial jail term over the boy's death.
