Vegan youtuber who claimed to have been cured of cancer through diet dies of cancer

In a shocking case, Mari Lopez, who ran a 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 favour of a 90-day juice cleanse when she was diagnosed in 2015.

Lopez said that within four months of cutting out animal products she was in remission and insisted the new regime (and God) had ‘healed’ her of her ‘gay lifestyle’.
However, Liz now blames her own mother for triggering Mari’s relapse by feeding her meat and microwaved food. Liz says that her mom would buy Lopez burgers and meaty things, and that caused the worsening of her health. As her health worsened, Mari told Liz to take down the videos with titles like ‘stage 4 cancer healed by juicing’and even a juice recipe called ‘the cancer killer.’ Mari and Liz would make juices and call them çancer killer’on videos watched by thousands on YouTube. Liz, however, said that her aunt would have survived if she had stuck to the juice diet.
