Paloma Shemirani: Brother recounts moment he found out his twin sister died after rejecting cancer treatment
The twin brother of a young woman who died of a preventable cancer after choosing to have coffee enemas instead of conventional treatment has recalled the moment he found out she had died.
Gabriel Shemirani says his sister Paloma was pressured to reject conventional treatment for her disease by their medical conspiracy theorist mother and father and he blames them for her death.
Instead, they convinced her to try an unproven alternative treatment program once promoted by cancer conwoman Belle Gibson which involved repeated coffee enemas about five times a day to cleanse toxins from her body.
Paloma, a 23-year-old Cambridge graduate, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and died in the Royal Sussex County Hospital on July 24 in 2024.
The actions of her mother Kay Kate Shemirani, a disgraced former NHS nurse and rabid anti-vaxxer, is being scrutinised by an inquest into Palomas death by the Kent and Medways Coroners Court.
Gabriel has been campaigning to have his parents held to account and is pushing for legal changes to protect patients from medical misinformation. I couldnt save my sister, but theres still time to save others, he told The Sun.
People are dying. This needs to stop.
The law is so out of date, that we can have a woman thats killed her daughter still claiming to be a nurse.
I believe my sister was being coerced. Its conspiratorial coercion when you convince her the elites are going to kill them, big pharmas going to kill them, even the doctors at the hospital are going to kill them.

How awful. Losing your twin sister and then having to go after your own parents because they are a danger to society.

What a terrible and preventable situation. My heart goes out to her twin brother over this heartbreaking loss.

My brother in law is a rabid anti-vaxxer. He killed his father with that nonsense.

Anti-vaxxers are now running the fucking show and denying the public access to mRNA vaccines, as well as any

If people are interested in an in-depth look at this, the BBC has a podcast series about it

Deliberately letting someone die of a treatable disease is murder by any other name.

It's weird that this "alternative healing" bullshit used to be popular with some on the left.
