Vegan influencer who only ate “exotic fruit” dies of starvation

Via Not the Bee

Okay, for real, not trying to make a joke out of this. It’s very sad. It’s also just unbelievably predictable:

Vegan influencer Zhanna Samsonova has reportedly “died of starvation” after subsisting exclusively off a diet of exotic fruit in Malaysia, according to her friends and family.

She was 39.

The photos this woman posted online do not depict someone who is healthy and in good shape. They depict someone who is, yes, slowly starving to death.

Samsonova claimed she consumed nothing but “fruits, sunflower seed sprouts, fruit smoothies and juices.” for the last four years.

I’m sorry to tell you, but in this world, like it or not, the human body can’t get what it needs from “sunflower seed sprouts” and papaya juice.

This isn’t the first person to have tried living off exotic fruit. August Engelhardt, born in 1875 in Germany, was the son of a paint factory owner who became a pharmacist assistant after attending university. He became obsessed with finding the perfect diet and came across a trend called “cocoivorism” that believed coconuts were the ultimate food.

Engelhardt moved to a Pacific island and started a literal sun cult with a diet based on fruit alone. When he developed sores on his skin, he blamed the fruit and ate only coconut from there on out.

He died at age 44 in 1919 as an emaciated sack of bones suffering from extreme malnourishment and mental illness.

Raw food diets often bring with them a whole host of health defects, including “deficiencies in calcium and Vitamin D, which are needed for strong bones,” as well as “suboptimal B12 levels, which can result in anemia, nervous system damage, infertility and… heart disease.”

As one of Samsonova’s friends put it after her death: “You don’t need to be a doctor to understand where this will lead.”

Carnivore 3 months- lost 20 lbs and never felt better.

Beef, lamb, pork, Chicken or other fowl, eggs, butter, fish and shellfish. That’s it. Usually only one meal a day and not rarely fell need to snack- If I do it’s unsweetened Biltong S.A. style Jerky

I lost 40 lbs on Paleo diet but there you need to restrict carbs- count carbs. Carnivore is simple- eat as much as you want of the above. And don’t have to worry much about reading labels for all the hidden poison additives.

I pity the poor smucks eating the fake meat. Reading on of those labels will scare the shite out of you.
(Actually I don’t pity them- if you are so stupid as to believe fake meat is better than real meat you deserve what you have coming to you.)

For some time I have been wondering this: why not transplant the eggs and sausage from the guys who want to be chicks to the chicks who want to be guys. Sure, the psudoguy would need to take drugs so its body would not reject the foreign tissues, but the psudoguy would be taking drugs anyway to maintain a somewhat male appearance. If the surgeon transplants the prostate gland also, the dong might actually work.

Ms Samsonova reportedly died in Malaysia on July 21 from a “cholera-like infection”, her mother told Russian newspaper Vechernyaya Kazan.

Malnutrition creates a welcome biome for all manner of infection by various bacteria, fungi or parasites.
Also, parasites on raw fruit are a well established claim:

Among a total of 384 fruit and vegetable samples purchased from 112 vendors, 150 (39.1%) were contaminated with at least one species of parasite. Lettuce (56.4%) and mango (16.7%) were the most and the least commonly contaminated items respectively. Larva of Strongyloides species (13.5%) was the most frequently detected parasite followed by cysts of Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar (12.8%). Contamination was more common in vegetables than fruits (AOR=2.968, p<0.001). Fruits and vegetables purchased from vendors with untrimmed fingernails (AOR=1.966, p=0.006), directly delivered from farmers (AOR=1.883, p=0.040), displayed in bucket with water (AOR=2.676, p=0.017) and those displayed without washing (AOR=5.511, p<0.001) were significantly associated with parasitic contamination.

Conclusion

The level of parasitic contamination of fruits and vegetables in Bahir Dar city is of public health importance. Hence, the public health sector should create public awareness in order to reduce parasitic transmission via fruits and vegetables.

[I’m assuming parasites in raw fruit are a worldwide issue where pesticides aren’t used.]

Nitpicking–it was starvation.

Parasitic infections in Malaysia: changing and challenges

Abstract

A total of 1,885 blood and stool samples of four main protozoan parasitic infections were retrospectively reviewed from January, 2000 to April, 2004. Eleven of the 1,350 stool samples were shown positive for Cryptosporidium and Giardia infections; one of the 5 cases was clinically diagnosed as gastrointestinal cryptosporidiosis, while 6 cases were giardiasis. In patients with giardiasis, children were among the high-risk groups, making up 66.7% of these patients. The common presenting signs and symptoms were: diarrhea (83.3%), loss of appetite (83.3%), lethargy (83.3%), fever (66.7%), nausea/vomiting (50.0%), abdominal pain (16.7%), dehydration (16.7%) and rigor and chills (16.7%). Metronidazole was the drug of choice and was given to all symptomatic patients (83.3%). For the blood samples, 28 of the 92 peripheral smears for Plasmodium spp infection were diagnosed as malaria. The age range was from 4 to 57, with a median of 32.5 years. The sex ratio (M:F) was 3.6:1, while the age group of 30-44 years was the most commonly affected in both sexes. The majority of patients were foreigners (60.7%) and non-professional (39%). Plasmodium vivax (71%) infection was the most common pathogen found in these patients, along with a history of traveling to an endemic area of malaria (31%). The predominant presenting signs and symptoms were: fever (27%), rigor and chills (24%), nausea/vomiting (15%) and headache (8%). Chloroquine and primaquine was the most common anti-malarial regimen used (78.6%) in these patients. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in different groups was 258/443 (58%): seropositive for IgG 143 (32.3%); IgM 67 (15%); and IgG + IgM 48 (10.8%). The age range was from 1 to 85, with a mean of 34 (+/- SD 16.6) years. The predominant age group was 21 to 40 years (126; 28.4%). The sex ratio (M:F) was 1.2:1. Subjects were predominantly male (142; 32%) and the Malay (117; 26.4%). Of these, 32 cases were clinically diagnosed with ocular toxoplasmosis. The range of age was from 10 to 56 years with a mean of 30.5 (+/- SD 12.05) years. The sex ratio (M:F) was 1:1.7. The majority were in the age group of 21 to 40 years, female (20; 62.5%), and Malay (17; 53%). They were also single (16; 50%), unemployed (12; 37%), and resided outside Kuala Lumpur (21; 65.6%). The more common clinical presentations were blurring of vision (25; 78%), floaters (10; 31%) and pain in the eye (7; 22%). We found that funduscopic examination (100%) and seropositivity for anti-Toxoplasma antibodies (93.7%) were the main reasons for investigation. Choroidoretinitis was the most common clinical diagnosis (69%), while clindamycin was the most frequently used antimicrobial in all cases. Among HIV-infected patients, 10 cases were diagnosed as AIDS-related toxoplasmic encephalitis (TE) (9 were active and 1 had relapse TE). In addition, 1 case was confirmed as congenital toxoplasmosis.

If you want to know what we were designed to
eat, simply look at human dentition. We have teeth
for everything. Grinding, slicing, tearing, and cutting.
And the digestive system to handle it all. We also
have a need for a great number of biochemicals and minerals
to survive. Your body can’t produce nine essential amino acids, so you need to get them from your diet.
From meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or fermented soy (tofu). Conditionally essential amino acids are nonessential amino acids that become essential in certain circumstances, such as illness or pregnancy. Thus we need to eat all kinds of food to be healthy.

The more I look into this story, the faker it looks.
There seem to be only a couple or three versions of this story at multiple sites.
Some of the versions reference a “mother” and a hometown:
“A newspaper published in Kazan, the Russian city where Samsonova’s mother lives,”

No names of course.
She has no online geneaology.
So I could find no father or mother.
She was operating out of a remote location.
Just a tictok presence and a newspaper report from the old Russian city of Kazan.

Kinda thin on the corroberation of being a true story….innit?
