Mum's anti-chemotherapy views influenced Paloma Shemirani's death https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c77dmp3jjepo

high-profile conspiracy theorist influenced her daughter to reject chemotherapy in favour of alternative treatments, which ultimately led to her death, a coroner has ruled.

Paloma Shemirani, from Uckfield in East Sussex, died in July last year - seven months after she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Ms Shemirani, 23, had declined chemotherapy in favour of juices and coffee enemas advocated for by her mother, Kate Shemirani, a former nurse who was struck off for her anti-vaccination views.

Coroner Catherine Wood said at Kent and Medway Coroners Court on Thursday: "The influence that was brought to bear on Paloma... did contribute more than minimally to her death."

1. Seems like karma against Kate but Paloma was a witless victim. I hope a charge is made and Kate serves time. . . . nt

2. This is just mind boggling. The mother was a nurse?

How do you go through that training and still have ideas so entrenched that you allow your child to die because of them? It's just incomprehensible to me.

5. She lost her license ( "was struck off the rolls" ) -- just as the anti-vaxxer UK doctor did when he wouldn't admit...

…his research was wrong and he lied.

I am so sorry for this young woman. Yes, people die from medical quackery, and I’m sorry she was one.

4. Good God in Gravy. Non Hdgkins Lymphoma is eminently treatable and curable

85% of patients survive long term.

6. What a quack! Everybody knows the only way to treat cancer is

by slathering sick people in Crisco, wrapping them tightly in Saran wrap. and shouting Ooga! Booga! while smacking a large crystal against their noses

7. Shitty advice

and bad decisions.
