Mari Lopez, who ran the YouTube channel 'Mari & Liz' alongside her niece Liz Johnson, died from the disease in December. Johnson, in a video posted to YouTube on Sunday, announced the passing of her aunt, saying her cancer spread to her blood, liver, and lungs towards the end of the year.
In a video posted to YouTube last January titled 'Cancer Transformation FAQ - SEE IMPORTANT UPDATE,' Lopez credited veganism and a faith in God as the cure for her breast cancer, adding, "The lemon-ginger blast helped me remove inflammation from my body." Additionally, Lopez went on a 90-day juice cleanse, which lead to "food withdrawals."
Lopez, at the time, also said she had skipped cancer treatment despite the recommendation of her doctors. "It's my choice, I've been okay, I haven't died, I haven't gotten to the hospital... I am going to continue on this path of going natural," said Lopez. "It's over, it is done with, I am healed."
Speaking to Babe, Johnson said Lopez remained a vegan until her passing, but that she was "wasn't completely consistent with what she had said" in previous videos. She alleged her aunt's demise came not from the cancer itself, but rather her consumption of meat and her use of a microwave.
