Vegan YouTuber Who Claimed Raw Food Cured Her Cancer Dies From Disease
Newsweek ^ | 2/21/18 12:58 PM | Kashmira Gander

On her YouTube channel, Mari Lopez claimed that her raw, vegan lifestyle “cured” her of breast cancer. But when the disease spread to her blood, liver and lungs, she decided to try chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

It appears, however, the intervention was too late, as her niece Liz Johnson has revealed that Lopez died of breast cancer in December 2017.

Lopez told viewers of her YouTube channel Liz & Mari, which she hosted with Johnson, that her faith in God and diet consisting entirely of plant-based products rid her body of cancer in four months. She also claimed in one video that she was “healed by God” and “used to live a gay lifestyle,” according to the website Babe, where Johnson confirmed her aunt’s death. Neither claims have any medical or scientific basis. […]

When Lopez realized she would die from cancer, she asked her niece to remove the videos claiming veganism could beat the disease. However, Johnson refused, claiming that her aunt died because she abandoned her raw diet. …

Let’s take a moment to recall a vegan troll here on FR.
Oh.. wait.. that’s “VEGAN!” as he said it.
Wonder how he’d take the news of this one.

Looked her up last year saying (bla bla bla talks a lot) she had mold in her bathroom and didn't do anything about it for a while. Typical case now a days of over isolating the house to save energy:

Reminds me of the modern parable about the lady who had faith in the lord and was trapped in her house as floodwaters rose.

she remembered the pastor said pray to the lord and he will save you, as the waters rose she was at the tip of the roof and did not know how to swim

as she continued to pray a helicopter came and lowered a basket, the loudspeaker said climb in the basket , to which she replied: " no thank you, I have faith in the lord to save me"

This story stinks of agenda politics. I don't trust a thing the niece or reporter say.

The full version of the story was that 1) the cops came to tell them to evacuate but she stayed, 2) the neighbors were bugging out and invited her to leave with them but she stayed, 3) after the storm hit and everything was flooded and the coast guard came to rescue her - she still stayed!

Within a few days she died from exposure and went to Heaven and when she met the Lord she asked him "didn't you say that you would rescue & protect me?" He smiled and shook his head and replied "I sent you the cops, your neighbors and finally the coast guard to save you but you refused them all! What did you expect, for me to come down in a fiery chariot for you? Anyways you are home now, enjoy your rest "

Chemo hastened her death.

Once cancer reaches both lungs and liver there’s no hope.

Some have responded to anti–PD-1 immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. Pretty much a crap shoot as to whether any given individual has the genetic markers to be responsive, though.

Seriously?

Leaving cancer untreated kills. If chemo is the best treatment option, then the earlier the patient begins chemotherapy, the better.

I think that general science illiteracy goes hand in hand with the schools becoming leftist madrassas. I certainly see a lot of it here.

Early detection and treatment are the best odds to defeat cancers.

I have a relative who is a vegan. She is insufferable to be around and makes idiotic claims on the curative affects of organic vegetables. Mind you they have to be organic. A carrot not grown on a genuine liberal democrat gardeners garden spot is useless, preferably the gardener should be from San Francisco!!!

I had cancer. Went total vegan, no oils, modified Gerson Therapy... cleared the kidneys and liver. (P.S. in church circles, this is called the Daniel fast)

and Prayer. And the Lord healed me.

Sorry naysayers.

Jesus heals. (Thank you Lord God!)

And vegan diets/non GMO/no flouride works. I refused chemo for obvious reasons... it’s Nazi era medicine.

Chemo killed this woman, not cancer,
but I don’t trust anything I see in the YouTube MSM anymore.

It’s all purposeful disinformation.

While I’m cancer free now for a year and a half, I do have to say that I made the mistake of doing one of the “Gerson Therapy” treatments with a non organically grown element, which I bought on accident.

I vomited blood that day. There really are pesticides in things. My body had been so clean for a while that this was a shock to the system.

Get organic stuff. You have no idea what’s in or on non organic things.

I do not subscribe to the vegan diet claims, and where we spend eternity is most important (see tag), but the reason this story is in atheistic Newsweek is because,

She also claimed in one video that she was “healed by God” and “used to live a gay lifestyle.

Had she been an Obama supporter there would be no story.l

If you get cancer you will investigate whatever you believe the Lord is showing you to investigate in order to spare your life, as I did.

I’m not a huge vegan, but more a natural one. Even before cancer, I gravitated towards veggies, but wanted a good steak or hamburger maybe once a month or so.

The Bible tells us seeds/herbs and plants are medicine; but Jesus ate fish etc., so I’m not fanatical about it.

The real problem isn’t vegan or not.

The REAL problem is GMOs. Flouride. Pesticides in our food. Hormones and other filth in our dairy and fake “oils” such as Canola oil, which is best used for squeaky hinges. And of course processed foods.

This is why people get cancer. I could care less if people are vegan or not, I just gravitate towards it because you really don’t know what you are buying today in meat or mystery meat.

FReepers should be leading the charge against AMA “medicine” and Big Pharma chemo pushers.

I never understood why so many people go wild over the latest fads, and lose their powers of reason, simply because something is “sweeping the country.”

Fads come and go, and are usually worth nothing.
