Influencer Mother Blamed for Daughter's Death After Cancer Treatment
A young woman named Paloma died from cancer.
Her brothers say her mother, a social media influencer who spreads conspiracy theories about medicine, is to blame.
The mother convinced Paloma to avoid standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy in favor of alternative methods.
Paloma chose a controversial treatment called Gerson therapy, which has no scientific proof of working.
The brothers are upset and are trying to understand what happened by seeking an inquest.
The mother, who used to be a nurse, now uses social media to sell unproven treatments and share false information about health.
