I also think she said her mother was dying from stage 3 or 4 cancer and her raw til 4 diet cured it, supposedly without drugs,treatments and without meds0

I've read the 80/10/10 book. The author Douglas Graham, I'm trying to look it up, but I can't find anywhere what his educational background is that gives him the title of "Dr.". I'm pretty sure he is not a medical doctor. Just an FYI.

1983 Doctor of Chiropractic, Life Chiropractic College
1975 Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education, Montclair State University
1980 Coached a team of seven to be U.S. national age champions in trampoline
1995-2005 He was given the honor of presenting the keynote address at every major raw-food conference in the world.
2008-current Creator and facilitator of The 80/10/10 Certified Lifestyle Coach program.
He is a chiropractor. Here's where Freelee is getting her entire lifestyle.3 -
With so much content out there people can look around for an "expert" whose advice fits the person's lifestyle no matter how whacked out the advice is.4

She's openly said that chemotherapy kills and cancer patients should avoid it. Honestly, the more I read about her the more ridiculous it gets. Chemtrails. Feeding kids chicken is child abuse. Menstruation as a sign that toxicity is leaving the body. And her theories about 9/11. She's not just "out there." She's dangerously out there. And people are listening.14 -

In some countries, chiropractors have to be MDs. Dunno if it's like that where she's from. Australia I think?0 -

Even if they are MD's, specialty matters (though I think chiros are quacks). It's like letting a dentist give you a hysterectomy.5 -
I believe Graham is from the US, though. Montclair State is in New Jersey. LIFE Chiropractic (just the name makes me distrust it) seems to be in Georgia (the one in the USA, of course).0

yes but she did say that in one of her videos that her mom eating raw til 4 cured her cancer. Im thinking either her mom got some kind of treatment on the side or never had cancer,and if she did it wasnt that severe. yes some can go in remission but if I remember correctly she said that its like it never happened.just like some people claim juicing helped them cure theirs1 -

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing wasn't entirely fabricated, either.2 -

There was another "clean eating" diet guru from Australia (I can't remember her name) who told everyone her diet had cured her brain cancer. Then it came out that she never had brain cancer. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this case of cancer was bogus too.3 -

I'm sorry. I must have missed a memo. Who is Freelee?
Freelee the Banana Girl is a YouTube personality who preaches a 80C/10/10 raw vegan style of eating. She claims that followers can eat 5,000 calories and not gain weight eating this way (she's a long-distance cyclist, so who knows, it might work for her). In order to ensure maximum viewers (and maximum ad revenue) she spends a good deal of her time attacking other YouTubers and making outlandish claims (many have been given above, but there are lots more to be found).3 -

Is she really popular? I'd never heard of her until MFP. She seems like more of a curiosity.
I had never heard of her before MFP either. Maybe MFP is the reason she is popular. People here keep mentioning her so others go look her up, this drives up her 'click count' which makes others think she must have a large following. Maybe posts like the OP are the answer to the OP.3 -
I think it's a YouTube thing. I don't know any YouTube personalities, but apparently they have their audience and market.1

YouTube is a vegan hangout. She's a vegan.1
