Netflix series critiques influencers misleading cancer patients
A new Netflix series titled "Apple Cider Vinegar" highlights how social media influencers mislead cancer patients into abandoning traditional treatments like chemotherapy.

This trend is seen globally, with patients returning to medical care only after their conditions worsen, often facing limited options. The series underscores the dangers of misinformation in cancer treatment. It shows how influencers, sometimes posing as medical professionals, exploit patients' vulnerabilities, leading them away from proven therapies and risking their health.
