When my mom had cancer, I swear every relative and distant acquaintance came out of the woodwork trying to sell some kind of nonsense. It was already a devastating time, but on top of that it was insulting being forced to hear about all these delusional snake oil cures and conspiracy theories.

I sympathize. I have a severe nerve disorder and I get quack recommendations constantly. Even worse, I did a YouTube video about it and there were so many quack comments.
