      Sigh... It's finally happened. 5-year-old DIPG patient Annabelle Nguyen has finally died after over two months in the ICU in Monterrey, Mexico. 1/https://www.9news.com.au/national/2018/08/09/11/57/five-year-old-girl-dies-brain-tumour-mexico-annabelle-nguyen-diffuse-intrinsic-pontine-glioma …

      DIPG is a horrible disease, and Annabelle suffered more than she needed to because of the quacks at @019Clinica convincing the parents that they could greatly prolong her life their unproven combination of therapies. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/clinica-0-19-false-hope-in-monterrey-for-brain-cancer-patients-part-3-of-3/ …

          The combination of therapies administered by Dr. Alberto Siller and Dr. Alberto Garcia of @019Clinica involved chemotherapy directly into the arteries leading to the brainstem, into the cerebrospinal fluid (intrathecal), and a highly dubious "immunotherapy." 3/

          Worse, Drs. Siller and Garcia told Annabelle's parents that her tumor was shrinking dramatically. So when Annabelle's clinical picture deteriorated, they were led to believe that if they stopped the quack treatments Annabelle would die. Horrifically unethical. 4/

          I also can't help but add that @hospitalangeles is complicit in the quackery practiced at @019Clinica because it is the hospital where Drs. Siller and Garcia admit their patients and do their angiography. 5/

          In addition, @hospitalangeles held an ethics inquiry regarding Drs. Siller and Garcia. Even though what these two quacks are doing is clearly both way outside the standard of care for DIPG and highly unethical, the hospital apparently let them keep doing it. 6/

          So mourn for Annabelle Nguyen. Feel empathy for her parents, who were stranded so long in Mexico at $2,500 a day in hospital charges plus the outrageous charges racked up pursuing Drs. Siller and Garcia's quackery. Mexico needs to shut these quacks down! 7/7
