Do not trust online health information. Rather speak to my Dr or pharmacist.

Hello everyone,
People living with chronic illnesses, and especially cancer, are often more vulnerable to health misinformation, pseudoscience, and scams promising miracle cures.
Unfortunately, some people take advantage of this vulnerability by promoting extreme diets, long fasting regimens, or unproven “natural” treatments, claiming they can cure diseases like cancer. These approaches not only lack scientific evidence but can also delay proper medical treatment and potentially worsen a patient’s condition.
👉 Have you ever been approached with non-conventional or questionable “cures” for your illness?
👉 How do you personally decide what medical advice or online health information is trustworthy?
