The home of naturopath Thierry Casasnovas, in Maureillas-las-Illas (Pyrénées-Orientales), was searched on Wednesday February 16, learned France Bleu Roussillon from the Perpignan prosecutor’s office, confirming information from the Parisian. This search was carried out as part of a judicial investigation opened by the Perpignan prosecutor. We do not yet know the leaders.
The naturopath, follower of fasting and raw food, has made himself known through videos with a large audience where he defends raw eating and abstinence. On YouTube, where he has more than 560,000 subscribers, he notably implied that the Covid-19 could be solved with cold baths and carrot juice.
Miviludes, which fights against sectarian aberrations, has received more than 600 reports about Thierry Casasnovas since 2016, including 70 in 2020. In April 2021 on franceinfo, Marlène Schiappa, the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, in charge of Citizenship, alerted the French to the practices of the naturopath: “He’s someone who wants your money and I tell the people who are following him: he makes you eat raw vegetables and drink cold water exclusively to put you in a state of psychological subjection. .”
