He didn't die from pneumonia. He died from allopathic cancer therapy, a combination of radiation and chemotherapy. Allopathic cancer therapy, though hugely profitable to hospitals and doctors, is documented to be effective just three percent of the time. This type of cancer therapy so devastates the human immune system, that a simple case of pneumonia will prove fatal! People need to learn and know this truth! God Speed, Val!!!
