A 23-year-old British woman who died after refusing conventional cancer treatment was allegedly undergoing “five coffee enemas a day” under the care of her mother, a controversial health influencer.
Paloma Shemirani’s brother made the claim this week during an inquest into her death, which came seven months after doctors told the Cambridge graduate she had an 80% chance of surviving non-Hodgkin lymphoma with chemotherapy, according to the BBC.
Instead, she pursued an unproven alternative cancer regimen promoted by her mother, Kate Shemirani, who claimed to have used it successfully in the past. Paloma died of a heart attack on July 24 last year, caused by an untreated tumor. In written statements before her death, she denied having cancer at all, calling the diagnosis an “absurd fantasy, with no proof,” per the BBC. She also expressed fears that chemotherapy might leave her infertile.

Yeah. She died of a heart attack. I’m sure all the caffeine had nothing to do with it. /s
No. Please. Don’t
I clicked the thread and her eye filled the whole screen of my phone and I scare-jumped.
😁
My dad is going through cancer and doing ok.
He’s doing some of the stuff you list.
Chemo didn’t help much and he gave it up.
Maybe, but that was probably just for fun.
Medical question: if you use coffee for an enema, how can you tell when you’re cleaned out?
.
Well, she is infertile after the coffee treatment also - she’s dead.
Dead is worse than infertile in my opinion.
“She forewent a treatment with an 80% success rate to pump coffee up her ass instead? At least do both if she’s so hung up about the coffee.”
Yeah she was young and had a chance to beat it with the proper treatment. She chose poorly.
Inuendos can be devestating.
Or math and statistics impaired. Wouldn’t be surprised at that these days.
I wonder what name was written on her enema bag
What is nutification?
A divorcee in Texas gave her alcoholic ex a sherry enema instead of using a beer and it killed him. He was using beer enemas because his throat was messed up from drinking too much alcohol. This was his way of getting a buzz. She was convicted of murder or manslaughter. He must not have had hemorrhoids.
Nutify meaning lots of nuts?
A very important element of the html tag for posting images is the size tag. You can use ‘width=400’ for example.
Sorry, but why is Sherry worse than beer? Because of the higher alcohol content? Or something else?
“ She also expressed fears that chemotherapy might leave her infertile.”
Have your eggs saved before treatment starts.
Cream and sugar?
She could have; she chose not to as an opposition defiance type of statement. No one was going to tell her to take chemo and admittedly feel awful and sicker for a time. RIP.
