Medical Medium protocol

Shortly after starting the Mastering Diabetes program back in April 2018, I learned about a guy named Anthony William, who calls himself the "Medical Medium."

Who is the Medical Medium? 

Here's an excerpt from Anthony Williams' website, but his first book goes into greater detail about his story:

#1 New York Times best-selling author of Medical Medium, Life-Changing Foods, Thyroid Healing, and Liver Rescue was born with the unique ability to converse with Spirit of Compassion who provides him with extraordinarily accurate health information that’s often far ahead of its time. 

Since age four, when he shocked his family by announcing that his symptom-free grandmother had lung cancer (which medical testing soon confirmed), Anthony has been using his gift to “read” people’s conditions and tell them how to recover their health. 

His unprecedented accuracy and success rate as the Medical Medium have earned him the trust and love of millions worldwide, among them movie stars, rock stars, billionaires, professional athletes, best-selling authors, and countless other people from all walks of life who couldn’t find a way to heal until he provided them with insights from Spirit. Anthony has also become an invaluable resource to doctors who need help solving their most difficult cases.

I realize this sounds a little "out there" and I was skeptical at first, but since listening to all of his podcasts, reading all of his books, and listening to half of his radio shows (it's taking me a while because there are currently over 100!) I gave his suggestions a try.

Belly bloat and celery juice

One of the biggest things I was struggling with over the past year was major belly bloat. I could tell that my food was not all digesting, and I felt constipated...even after switching to a high fiber vegan diet (the real problem, I discovered, was years of being on a high fat/protein Paleo diet...keep reading to learn why). Despite drinking my gastroparesis herbs again, asking my acupuncturist if he had any ideas, and trying to incorporate my old tried and true herbs/foods for digestion (ginger, peppermint), I was still bloated and constipated and not digesting my food. I could tell it was all backed up around my intestines and I was intensely frustrated about not knowing what to do about it. My belly kept growing and looking like I had a bowling ball in there!

Well, one of the Medical Medium's big suggestions is for people with a chronic disease and/or "mystery illness" and/or symptoms to drink 16-20 ounces of fresh celery juice every morning on an empty stomach. I started doing this back in late April and WOW, it has been clearing my belly bloat up every day! After drinking it I would not be constipated and I can tell that my body is slowly but surely getting rid of all the backed up sludge that was putrefying in my intestines.

Anthony (through "Spirit") gives the reason behind this belly bloat problem, and it makes so much sense in my experience:

"When you eat, food quickly travels down to your stomach to be digested with the help of hydrochloric acid. Although science hasn’t discovered this yet, hydrochloric acid isn’t just one acid—it’s actually a complex blend of seven acids. If hydrochloric acid levels are out of balance or low, your food won’t be sufficiently digested in your stomach. That means the food won’t break down enough for your cells to access the nutrients, and instead the food will just sit there and rot, causing bad acids to develop. 

This gut rot, or putrefaction, creates ammonia gas, which has the ability to float, ghost-like, out of your digestive tract and directly into your bloodstream. It can also cross into organs such as your liver and brain. This is what I call ammonia permeability. 

Millions of people walk around with digestive health problems, and one of the contributing factors is ammonia permeability, along with underlying sluggish liver issues. (The truth about ammonia permeability hasn’t yet been discovered. Similar though mistaken concepts are often referred to as “leaky gut syndrome” or “intestinal permeability.”)

Another condition that worsens low hydrochloric acid and creates ammonia permeability is a sluggish, stagnant, fatty liver. Underlying liver conditions are extremely common. Medical communities don’t yet know how prevalent they really are or what’s behind these issues in the first place. A sluggish, stagnant, fatty liver causes lower bile production, which means the body can’t break down and disperse fats easily, and that also contributes to gut rot, causing even more ammonia permeability. 

Here’s where our heroic celery juice comes in: It effectively rebuilds the stomach’s complex balance and supply of hydrochloric acid. It also strengthens the digestive system by helping to heal the liver, which leads to an increase in bile production, easing constipation and bloat. Plus by lowering levels of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses and invaders such as fungus and mold, it leads to strengthened intestinal linings. Celery juice is one of the most profound ways, if not the most profound way, to restore digestive health. It is that powerful."

That was the answer to my problem. Celery juice has been my cure. I am so thankful for discovering this valuable information!

Diet recommendations

In addition to the celery juice, the Medical Medium has some specific diet recommendations as well.

He recommends removing the following foods from your diet:

• Eggs
• Dairy
• Gluten
• Canola Oil
• Soy
• Corn
• Pork

Why? In general, he says that these foods all feed the Epstein Barr Viruses (of which there are over 60, and the majority of the U.S. population has). Wheat, corn, and soy have been ruined a lot by GMOs (they used to be fairly good for you). Eggs have been ruined by all the testing science has done on eggs with viruses (they used to be good for you as well). Pork is just too dang fatty. Canola oil (especially GMO) ruins your arteries.

Foods he recommends for healing are:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Herbs
• Spices
• Wild foods

He has a 28 day cleanse (from the book "Medical Medium") that involves eating nothing but raw fruits and vegetables for 28 days...and keeping your fats low (from things like coconuts, olives, avocados, nuts and seeds) during this time to give your liver a break. I started this a little while ago and made it 1 week but then had to stop. I am hoping to try it again and make it the whole month if I can! This protocol is very consistent with what the Mastering Diabetes program recommends, which is very science based, so it really helped increase my trust in the Medical Medium's suggestions.

However, the Medical Medium is not anti-meat. He does say that you don't want to be eating meat more than once a day. You want to eat as many good foods as possible, which will ultimately leave the less helpful foods less room in your diet.

He also recommends some specific supplements depending on what symptoms/conditions you have. Some foundational supplements that he says most people can benefit from are:

• B12 (adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin) is most important. Don’t get B12 shots - they are not the right kind of B12 and they are instigating for sensitive people, getting some people's’ bodies to overreact. This is a baseline supplement. So you don’t get neurological disorders, immune system breakdowns, low platelets, thyroid problems. 
• Zinc. The more pollution we get slammed with, the more zinc we lose. It protects you from virtually every disease. Our food has lost all of its zinc these days. Look for an ionic liquid zinc. Don’t get one with tons of preservatives. The zinc liquids are often loaded with poisons (i.e. citric acid). 
• DHA/EPA not from fish oil. Very important for surviving today. Look for plant based ones. 
• Probiotics. Get a time released, non dairy one. 
• Hawaiian spirulina is an amazing multivitamin. It is bioavailable. 
• Herbs. Are loaded with nutrients, phytochemicals. Nettle leaf is a good baseline herb. It is a protector, adaptogenic.

The Unforgiving Four

Lastly, the Medical Medium talks about "the unforgiving four" things that are wreaking so much havoc in our world today. These are:

1. Radiation (xrays, atomic bombs)
2. DDT
3. Mercury
4. The virus explosion

He goes into greater detail about each of these things in his books and radio shows. Check them out if you want to experience healing.
