Can Kerosene Treatment Be Given For Pancreatic Cancer?
Hello, my granny has pancreatic cancer that has spread to her lungs and liver as well. At the same time - most probably as a result of her cancer - she has more thrombosis and that is why neither surgery nor chemotheraphy can be applied sadly. So I started to look for alternative methods and found kerosene as a possible cure. But also, there are many warnings that it cannot be used in those cases when the liver is affected by the cancer too.
So my question would be: can we start the kerosene treatment or not? Do you have any suggestions what to do instead? Thank you in advance!

Kerosene therapy is not useful at all . there is no evidence suggesting even symptom relief . itll rather deteriorate the patient.
My advise is admission in a hospice and oral chemotherapy and pain killers.
