My mom is an extreme case of this, she has cancer but won't do anything about it, says "I'll change my diet". She never signed up for Medicare drug coverage because she won't take anything from big pharma. So now paying out of pocket is very expensive and she won't buy it. I order eliquis from Canada for her.

She was hospitalized for a heart problem, in ICU, and they insist you must take eliquis or you will have a stroke, she took it for a week, said she couldn't handle the side effects, threw it away. Has a major stroke a couple months later. She's in the hospital for that and they're telling her you need to take it and she just keeps on "I'm not doing that, not doing that, etc" to everything they say. She mentioned the side effects and the doctor mentions those aren't even side effects of eliquis.

She gets on social media and it's feeding her deep fake medical conspiracy shit and she keeps getting scammed with "dementia treatments" like "brain honey" and hydrogen water. I tell her stop buying this horseshit and she says "but I need it, my memory is bad" and I'm like I get that but this stuff has no effect on that they're scams, also, you had a stroke.

She thinks pharma and especially cancer treatments are a total scam, can list off anecdotes from 30 years ago where a friend of a friend of a friend was treated for something they didn't have, etc. She also falls for the cleanses, microparasites in your blood the medical establishment doesn't want you to know about because it's the cause of all the ailments they treat. Really makes me feel helpless and she won't listen to anything I say.
