Katie Price has been hit with complaints after angering fans with a post suggesting that CBD oil reduced the size of a tumour in a two-year-old girl. In an online video, the former glamour model claimed CBD oil “shrunk” a little girl’s tumour and went on to promote the product owned by boxer Anthony Fowler as a treatment for “fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety/depression any aches/pains or insomnia.” Anthony and his wife Serena share a daughter named Roma, who reportedly suffered from the tumour.

In the footage, she says, “Your daughter, on her leg and she took this. What was it she had a tumour? They’ve shown me the pictures of before and after from using CBD where it shrunk it all.” This prompted uproar from fans who have labelled her claims “abhorrent.”

One person reacted in the comments by saying, “I think you should be careful how this is said because you’re making it sound like a cancer lump has been cured with this oil. You would get some people that might refuse treatment to use this quite scary thought just saying.”

Another person also echoed, “This video is VERY misleading and needs actual clarification. You cannot just claim the oil shrunk the tumour and was the tumour cancerous? This is very irresponsible of you.”

A third also typed, “Are there any clinical trials on this, how do we know it was the CBD that shrunk it and not something else?” A fourth person labelled Katie’s post “insane.”

Cannabidiol oil, more commonly referred to as CBD, is derived from cannabis and is often used for relaxation and pain relief.

Katie, at the end of her post, included a 40 per cent off coupon code and said, “I literally get people thanking me every day this is started posting.” [sic]

During the footage, co-owner Serena calls the product “amazing” as they chat about how people are skeptical about using the CBD oil, adding “You can’t knock it until you try it.” Katie then turned on her “haters out there,” who criticised her for using it.

According to Metro, skin cancer specialist Dr Emily Alfonsi stated that “there is no strong clinical evidence that it has any ability to shrink tumours.”

She said to the publication, “While stories like this can be incredibly emotional, there is currently no scientific or clinical evidence to support the idea that CBD oil can cure tumours or cancer in humans.”
