An osteopath has hit out at the anti-vaxx mother of a model who died from cancer, telling an inquest that he was 'not the right person to be helping her'.

Cambridge graduate and model Paloma Shemirani died last July aged 23 after refusing conventional cancer treatments for her treatable non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.

Her mother, Kay 'Kate' Shemirani, was a notorious anti-vaxxer struck off the UK's nursing register in 2021 for her extreme anti-medicine views, including discouraging the use of masks and vaccines during Covid.

She rose to prominence on social media while sharing Covid-19 conspiracy theories, an inquest at Oakwood House in Maidstone, Kent, heard previously.

Ms Shemirani was involved in arranging an alternative 'treatment programme' for her daughter.
