that's gotta be incredibly hard to deal with, especially suffering from hypochondria. i would just try to bear in mind that there is a massive replicability crisis with scientific studies as well as a smaller (albeit still prominent) issue with ideology-driven studies being performed. add that to your mother's admitted bias (both in the information she's searching for and what she's likely to accept) and the likelihood that she's arriving at the right answer hovers safely around 0%.
