A YouTuber who claimed being vegan cured her cancer has died from cancer

A YouTuber who said that eating a raw vegan diet, drinking juice and praying to God cured her cancer has passed away.

Mari Lopez, one half of the vlogging duo Liz & Mari, succumbed to an aggressive terminal cancer that spread to her blood, liver and lungs.

She was known for posting viral videos about how she was able to cure her stage four diagnosis through faith in God and following a strict diet of raw vegetables.

Today in an interview with babe, Liz Johnson, who made videos with her aunt Mari, doubled down on her beliefs, saying she "completely" stood by what she posted.

Mari referred to how she was able to cure her cancer in 90 days by drinking juice. She said her renewed faith and diet even pushed her to renounce her lesbian sexuality.

"I was healed by God and faith and used to live a gay lifestyle," she explained in one video.

In the online echo chamber promoting alternative medicine, there are varying degrees of deception. There are true believers (who are often victims), entrepreneurs (who are often true believers who found a profitable business), and scammers. The categories are not mutually exclusive.

ADDENDUM::‘Dead Broke’ Duggars Delete Embarrassing Plea For Money After The Public Laughs Them Off | If You Only News

Reports have been circulating that the Duggar family is broke. Articles in OK Magazine, Radar Online and The Hollywood Gossip all said that the Duggars, in the midst of financial woes after their reality lives were cancelled, added a “support” button to their YouTube channel so they could produce “fresh new content.” The plea reportedly said “every contribution is helpful, big or small.”

Fan support was minimal and the scathing comments of those who are tired of these people being famous for nothing bordered on an angry mob. The response was obviously not worth the trouble to the already bruised and battered egomaniacs that are the Duggars.

Those reports began on Wednesday. By Thursday evening, the begging had stopped. There is no sign of a “support” button on any of the Duggar pages or YouTube channels.

One report says they’ve had to fight a home foreclosure. Another says they’re being sued by the family of the unrelated victim of Josh’s “accidental touching, over the clothes, for like… a few seconds.” Please do stop for a moment to roll your eyes.

Jill and her husband, Whatshisname Notaduggar, were forced to beg for cash to travel to South America for “mission work,” though they wouldn’t disclose the actual location, so they can’t be doing all that well. Charitable work is all well and good, but typically your church picks up the tab. Not too many private people out there are asking for personal donations to go trade Jesus for clean water.

News: Why The Duggars Needed A Payment Processor

So the clown car, vagina family is still in the news:

So it turns out that not only do the Duggars have a new money making scheme since their show on TLC was cancelled but they also need someone to do the online payment processing of credit cards. Hence Duggar Processing LLC and Fivestone Group LLC. Turns out that the Duggars are starting to ask for money from anyone watching their videos on YouTube, at least all the Duggar Studios videos which seem to be an endless procession of kids going to the dentist Josiah Duggar stoned out of his gourd on pain meds while Jim Bob drives him home from having his wisdom teeth removed, lip synching to music or doing other every day things. They have also done a promotion of Bill Gothard’s Alert Academy. Josh and Anna Duggar have their own channel. At least Josh and Anna aren’t trying to shake anyone down for money, yet. But at the Duggar Studios page,,,

[,,,]
Here’s what I’m predicting based upon the news of the payment processor registrations by Jim Bob and Josh Duggar combined with the money request on their YouTube channel. Before too long there will be a paid access online portal, not necessarily YouTube, where you can see new videos on the Duggars on a weekly or daily basis. It’s a good way to keep the reality television dollars rolling in so that Jim Bob Duggar doesn’t have to abase himself like the rest of us and get a regular job. All this merely confirms my notion that Jim Bob Duggar in particular is mostly a grifter wrapped in Jesus-speak.

And to think, I used to think this family was quaint,,,sigh!!

3rd Annual International Day of Protest Against Hereditary Religion | WORLD CULT WATCH

Universally, civil authorities are oblivious to the way the practice violates a child's human rights and the emotional damage it can inflict. Although civil libertarians have long objected to childhood indoctrination, perpetrators unfailingly offer the defense of free will. They argue a child is always free to choose a different faith, or no faith, when they reach their majority, (usually 18 years), and leave the family home. This is an incoherent argument because determined and repeated efforts are made during the child's formative years to insure they will never leave the faith. Furthermore, recent brain science research reveals conclusively that constant repetition of the same inputs to the brain results in permanent neuronal configurations that are nearly impervious to change without great difficulty. Moreover, leading researchers increasingly question the age old assumption that free will is a fact. Instead, they assert that free will is a convenient illusion.

On January 20, 2014 the third international protest against hereditary religion will take place involving thousands of participants around the world. The event is being staged in cyberspace and will feature a virtual rally stage with nationally recognized presenters exploring the protest themes and leading real time discussions using internet communication resources.
