The reality star posted about her experience with a Prenuvo machine that she described as “life saving”

Kim Kardashian is encouraging her 363 million Instagram followers to screen for cancer after getting a full body scan.

The reality star and SKIMS founder posted about her experience with a Prenuvo machine, which she described as “life saving" in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“I recently did this @prenuvo scan and had to tell you all about this life saving machine,” Kardashian, 42, wrote, noting that her post was not an advertisement.

“The Prenuvo full-body scan has the ability to detect cancer and diseases such as aneurysms in its earliest stages, before symptoms arise. It was like getting a MRI for an hour with no radiation. It has really saved some of my friends lives and I just wanted to share #NotAnAd.”

The Kardashians star stood next to the Prenuvo machine in the first photo in the post. The second image showed the mom of four posing for a mirror selfie taken inside a bathroom.

“Love @prenuvo 🙌😍,” Paris Hilton commented below the post.

However, Kardashian’s fans were not as pleased with the recommendation, with many criticizing her due to a full body scan with the machine costing $2,499.

The sentiment continued to be echoed in the comments section, as another user added, “Love a billionaire recommending preventative care that is totally inaccessible to 98% of your fan base, total vibe.”
