A vegan YouTube star who claimed her plant-based diet 'cured' her cancer and lesbianism has died from the disease.

Mari Lopez, who ran the food channel at home in Houston, Texas with her niece Liz Johnson, told thousands of viewers she had rejected traditional treatment for breast cancer in favor of a 90-day juice cleanse when she was diagnosed in 2015.

I don't know about that. I certainly wouldn't recommend what she did as a treatment for cancer but I know from painful experience that the treatment is often worse than the disease. And in the end many end up dead anyway.

My wife lived for a year with her cancer, suffering every day from the side effects of her chemo. She only suffered from the cancer the last week of her life as her organs began to shut down.

Hindsight's always 20/20.

This really is sad. But I can't help noting that her friend looks amazingly like Barrack Obama, for a woman.

Sounds like she went the Gerson Therapy route. Many claim to have gone into remission that way, while others die. The only person I know who tried it died fairly quickly, but he waited far too long to go to the doctor when he knew he should. I think he was too far gone to save either way.

I have an autoimmune disease that requires serious meds when it flares up. The last time I tried juicing instead of medicine and after a few weeks of juicing, I went into remission. Was it the juicing? I have no idea.

I’m sorry to hear about your illness.
I can’t help but think that better diets & possibly juicing would help alleviate most of the common disorders (illnesses) that we have day-to-day.

Had a distant family member that choose the “I read it on the internet, so it must be true” route for a cancer cure.

As John Boy & Billy, of local radio fame, say...

“How’d that work out for you?”
“Not too goooood...”

Just look at the hate posted about her because she was cured of Lesbianism - and she gave credit to God in the article.

Wow! Hard to tell who these zombies hate more:

Christians or their own former brethren who change their ways?

You have one foot in the grave, no different than the person who waited until they had cancer to make a change.

Once your body tires of its daily fight, all bets are off. Do your research on the gut; your solution lies within.

PM me and I’ll send you some of my book references regarding reversal of autoimmune disease if you’re keen to getting your health back before more serious symptoms are expressed.

“I went into remission”

I’ve done a lot of reading on the subject and there does seem to be a link between autoimmune diseases and certain vitamin deficiencies, either due to poor diet or inability to absorb the vitamins, maybe a combo.

I’m currently having a flare-up of an autoimmune disease and your experience sure sounds good to me.

If not too personal a question, what medicine did you replace with juicing, and are you currently in remission?

If I were diagnosed, I wouldn’t know what to do, because it DOES seem like all the suffering is from the treatment, not the disease. Getting sick from the chemo, losing their hair, having mastectomies, etc., etc.

I’m a cancer survivor. My cancer was diagnosed at Stage 1 and all I required was surgery to remove my left kidney. That was a no brainer for me. If I were diagnosed with another cancer at stage 1 or 2 I’d probably opt for treatment, but at Stage 3 or 4 I’d focus on enjoying my remaining time with my friends and family.

I wonder if she was on the pill... many women take it for reasons other than preventing pregnancy, doctor actually hand it out like candy and all forms of synthetic hormones significantly raise breast cancer risk, but too much money and liberal politics is at stake to tell the truth.

“PM me and I’ll send you some of my book references regarding reversal of autoimmune disease if you’re keen to getting your health back before more serious symptoms are expressed.”

why don’t you post the list here in public for all of us who have autoimmune diseases ... i have several: pernicious anemia, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and gluten allergy.

you are SOOOOO lucky ... kidney cancer runs in my wife’s family and they don’t find out until it’s WAY too late because they have no symptoms ...
