Лечителят медиум: Помощ за черния дроб
Възможно ли е да се избавим от хронична болест или мъчителен симптом, ако обърнем внимание само на един аспект на здравето си? Може ли влошеното състояние на един орган да е причината за редица здравословни проблеми от хипертония и диабет до кожни и автоимунни заболявания? Според световноизвестния лечител медиум - Антъни Уилям, цялостното ни здравословно състояние зависи от черния дроб.
В тази книга той разкрива удивителна информация, получена от Висш Дух, за уникалните функции на черния дроб и ключовата му роля в редица важни процеси в организма. Претоварен от токсини от околната среда и прекомерен прием на вредни мазнини, този жизненоважен за метаболизма и имунитета орган бавно губи способност да изпълнява оптимално функциите си. Това води до развитието не само на чернодробни заболявания, но и на стомашно-чревни и сърдечно-съдови болести, алергии, наднормено тегло, сезонна депресия, нарушен хормонален баланс и много други.
Единственият начин да се излекуваме е като се погрижим за черния си дроб и Антъни Уилям ни показва най-лесния начин да го направим. В тази книга той предлага подробни списъци с лечебни храни, билки и добавки, както и две програми за детоксикация. Описани са и всички неща, които увреждат черния дроб, и как да се предпазим от тях.

I just finished reading over 400 large pages about the liver, written by someone who has no footnotes, and I found it absolutely fascinating. I stayed up late several nights because I had to read “just one more chapter.” If this stuff is true, I understand more and have more compassion for my body. I’ll update this when I have tried out what William suggests.
A note on the writing. This guy has a wonderful way with metaphors and similes. He is able to explain things so plainly. Also, I found only one typo. This text seemed so cleanly done. I know some reviewers have complained about the length and the repetition of ideas, but I found it all to be necessary for conveying the vast amount of information. Reading every chapter is beneficial to getting the full picture.

faux medicine hocus pocus by a snakeoil salesman who is NOT A DOCTOR
I completely missed the small print 'medical medium' and picked this up because my liver bloodwork was a little strange and, like a growing number of Americans, have some mysterious chronic symptoms that doctors have a tough time diagnosing.
This isn't even very well written! I kept having to skip dozens of paragraphs, pages and pages and chapter after chapter, just to get small kernels of common-sense wisdom - drink lots more water and eat less processed food, especially veggies and fruits. Finally I thought to check the author's bio paragraph and sure enough, he's not medically trained AT ALL.
I will not be recommending this book to anyone. Read instead: Food Rules: An Eater's Manual

So informative and enlightening. I've been drinking celery juice for a month & its been life changing.

I wanted to like this book, but the author took too long to get to the point. The book is divided into four parts:
Part 1 - Your Liver's True Calling: Miracle Peacekeeper
Part 2 - The Unseen Storm: What's happening inside our livers
Part 3 - The Call to Battle: More Symptoms & Conditions Enlightened
Part 4 - Liver Salvation: how to Care for Your Liver and Transform Your life
Each section the author tells a long, drawn out analogy and never truly answers the question. It's more on this later in chapter ##. When I finally got to Part IV, I expected to see helpful plans laid out, but it was pretty much everything is bad for your liver: air we breath, fumes we inhale, air freshener's we use; dryer sheets, scented anything, as well as foods, pesticides, walking outside, walking inside (exaggerate).
I'd like to know more about his research. Where and how he obtained his information. Why isn't there a single picture of a liver in the entire book? I found more information on the Internet about the liver than I found in this book.
I do not recommend this book to anyone looking for definitive answers.

Edits: I complete this book earlier this summer. I wanted to wait until I completed at least one round of the recommended 9-day cleanse called 3:6:9. Turns out, I did a series of three 3:6:9 cleanses with an 11 day break between. I've added a section at the bottom of the review highlighting my experience with the 3:6:9. Short version: a few dramatic and lasting health improvements...
This book is a master work for helping the reader take charge of their health and understand the mechanisms for underlying conditions. If you have read any of the other books (Medical Medium, Life Changing Foods and Thyroid Healing) you may assume Liver Rescue is more of the same. There is however little overlap. Liver rescue delves into the function of the liver, often referring back to chronic conditions addressed in the prior books, and also adding a compendium of new conditions and how they get started. I found the chapters clear and easy to comprehend. Kudos to Anthony and the effort he's put in to make this material understandable.
Medical jargon is only included to tie concepts back to what folks will find in their research on conditions, and also, to discuss the state of where medical research is currently. Anthony's discussion of diagnostic tests is worth many times the price of this book, as you get an understanding of how diagnostics are often based on markers that don't reveal what is really going on, and can lead to a confusing diagnoses (and subsequent treatments), or say you're OK when you know you're not. Much needed information...
What brought me to Anthony Williams' books? At age 8, I experienced a severe bought of mononucleosis and hepatitis resulting in liver damage, brain fog, chronic fatigue, weight gain, depression and a host of other complications. I didn't understand the depth of how this condition affected my life, nor did doctors who consider the matter closed after 4 months. Yet, my effort to understand and correct all the health challenges that followed set me on a life long quest to improve my health and well being. I made great progress at times and major setbacks at others. Moving to a mostly raw, vegetarian diet helped to a point. All that changed when I received a copy of Medical Medium 2 1/2 years ago. It was the first body of information that fully explained my initial condition and subsequent issues. Finally, answers. Finally, a path to health. I've practice nearly all of the dietary recommendation from Anthony, and am learning to go deeper and deeper into the healing. So far, I've regained so much back in the last few years (stamina, mental clarity, energy, overall feeling better and better), that I'm in better health that I've been in 20 years.
One tip: The book is divided into sections and topics like 'SIBO and Acne' but I recommend reading each section in order as Anthony deepens the overall explanation of liver function as you go along. The more you understand, the more the dietary changes make sense.
The 3:6:9 cleanse - I'll state up front: I resisted this cleanse for a long time. Through research and intuition, I expected a good result. Yet, and this was the sticky part, I knew I had to let go of some strong habits pertaining to food & emotions. In preparation, I weaned myself off coffee. I won't go into a long discussion of this because these experiences are personal and unique. On to the 3:6:9. As stated in the text, the process starts with a gentle reduction of dietary fats and specific food groups (eggs, diary, gluten, corn, certain oils). The next three days eliminates all fat and is nearly all raw. The last three days continues no fat but concludes with a mostly juice day. It's also recommend following the nine days to transition slowly back to your prior eating style, or a style that adopts new elements from the 3:6:9.
That's the summary. Here's what I experienced during the first 3:6:9 (hopefully without TMI...):
- Decades long chronic issue (dealing with 'regularity' was solved 3 days in!).
- Decades long issues of Brain fog and chronic fatigue reduced about 60%.
- Eye floaters (like looking through a bug splattered windshield) nearly eliminated.
- Mental clarity and sharpness dramatically improved.
After the second and third 3:6:9 (over 50 + days)
- Sustained reduction in weight (not a primary goal, yet welcomed benefit)
- Reduced joint inflammation
- Another 10% reduction in Brain fog and chronic fatigue
- Nearly complete detachment from unconscious eating habits and food desires
- Lifestyle change: Mostly now eat the meal plan for the first 3 days
In short, I highly recommend. I also will offer to approach the cleanse without expectation. The design puts the body in the drivers seat to prioritize what needs healed. I've read many experiences from different folk, and each result is unique. Some have dramatic weight reductions and other nearly none. I mention that because weight loss seems to be a yardstick for every program. In the first 9 I lost about 5lbs, none the second and 6 the 3rd. The author recommends that if you have major symptoms and or a lot of weight to loose, then continue the 3:6:9 back to back. I didn't do this, I wanted to experience going back to 'normal' before beginning another. The other reason is the 3:6:9 needs a significant amount of planning and supplies. Our stores are a journey, but others may have close by resources that make continues 3:6:9 easier.
I'll leave it at that. I highly recommend the book and following the program in the book.

I’ve found the Medical Medium to be overly opinionated and often wrong. There is a lot of good information mixed in with the false and unhelpful (biased). I won’t go there. Each must discover what is right for his or herself. I gleaned great tips in the form of supplements and herbs to add along with in-depth and helpful info about the liver and gallbladder. This isn’t a bible of info on it because there are missing tips, especially more details on gallstones, that I’ve found elsewhere. Don’t get me ranting on his opinion of coffee enemas. They have saved my gallbladder and liver from failure. I’ll stop now. Great resource, but don’t make it your only resource and keep in mind that he isn’t all-knowing as he exerts himself to be.

It was very difficult and boring to read the book because of the constant repetitions of the same things. Eventually I began to skip most of the chapters.
To sum it up everything damages your liver-parasites, viruses, other pathogens, food, cosmetic products, chlorine, plastics, DDT, fluoride, air, heavy metals, etc. You are a walking bag filled with toxins. High fat diets are bad for the liver. Fresh fruits and vegetables, cellary juice, apples, asparagus, etc. are good. Read the first sentence in this paragraph about 1 000 000 times +chapter 37 + 38 and it'll be as if you read the whole book.

Blogger wrote a medical book claiming spirit has spoken to him. What a waste of my time.

Taking control of my health and this book really helps! I feel this is a book where I actually need a physical copy to highlight and bookmark chapters, so I am probably going to buy it soon. Very good information delivered in compassionate and informative tone without the arrogance of some medical books. I really like to dig deep and his subjects and recommendations are perfect for our world!! Highly recommend at least reading through the majority of the book!

Astounding
Just when you think you've seen it all, Anthony comes out with even more information. His four books are more valuable than all the other books and newsletters put together. I have been reading this stuff for 60 years and have never seen anything like it. I can't wait for the next one. For the doubters out there, it's not even remotely possible that he's making this stuff up.

This is a very interesting book but I don't agree with all his ideas. I skipped around too much and was too slow so its due back to the library as someone else wants to read it. When you read it take notes.

I want to give this book 2 stars and 5 stars at the same time, so I settled on 4 stars.
I recognize the value of this book and the wealth of knowledge contained within it. This book helped me to connect the dots between various health symptoms that I’ve had and to uncover patterns in my health over the years. An overburdened liver is a surprising source of many symptoms and illnesses that are seemingly unrelated. Anthony William explains how caring for our liver can have the most far-reaching impacts on the rest of our health.
This book has taught me to view my liver with compassion, as it’s one of our most important organs and also one of the hardest working organs as it strives to rid our body of the toxins that we have accumulated throughout our lives and are bombarded with on a daily basis (from viral and bacterial infections, pesticides, pollution, chemicals and heavy metals in our products and drinking water, antibiotics and other medications, and more).
The first part of the book explains the importance of the liver and its many functions. The second part discusses general symptoms of an overburdened liver. The third part covers specific illnesses that stem from an overburdened liver. Generally, each chapter is devoted to a separate symptom/illness. The fourth part is where most of the value is. Anthony William lists foods that are beneficial for our liver health and that we should incorporate into our diet, as well as supplements to support our liver functions. He also lists foods to avoid because they further aggravate our symptoms and/or overburden the liver as it essentially has to “put out fires” in our body, which takes away from its bandwidth to carry out its beneficial functions for supporting our health. He goes even further and prescribes a customized list of supplements for each symptom/illness and includes dosage.
The Liver Rescue 3:6:9 protocol is outlined towards the end — it’s a 9-day protocol that aims to gently detox the liver while supporting the adrenal glands. Anthony William explains that other detox protocols often cause the liver to detox too quickly, which can flood our system with toxins faster than our body can safely remove them, causing us to experience intense detox symptoms and forcing the liver and adrenal glands to go into overdrive to clean up the mess. I’ve done the protocol and have experienced great results in reducing many of my symptoms and gaining my energy levels and focus back.
The remarkable thing about Anthony William’s recommendations is that he’s not asking you to do anything crazy — everything that you need to heal can be found in the grocery aisles. He’s not asking you to abide by extreme diets or calorie counting nor asking you to punish yourself with intense workouts or buy exclusive/expensive products marked as a “cure-all." It’s all about treating your body with kindness and giving it the nourishing food that it needs to help you flourish and heal.
Given all of that, why do I also want to give this book 2 stars?? The way that this book is written is maddening. I understand that there isn’t science or research to back up Anthony William’s claims. What inspires confidence are the thousands of reviews from people all over the world who have followed his protocols and found healing when conventional medicine had failed them (based on my review above, I can attest to the success as well. I’ve also religiously drank celery juice for the past two years). However, because there are no scientific references in the book, Anthony Williams uses metaphors on metaphors to explain each symptom/illness and its cause. In the beginning of the book, this was helpful because the metaphors help you understand on an intuitive level how the liver functions, the over 2,000+ responsibilities it carries out each day, and how the liver can become overwhelmed over time. But once you realize that he uses a new metaphor for every symptom/illness for 200+ pages of the book, it drives you crazy. I would include an example, but they are all so long-winded that this review might double in size.
Not only this, but the narrative of each chapter is along these lines — “if you have this symptom/illness, here are likely all of the incorrect diagnoses you’ve received or the ways in which you’ve been mislead by conventional medicine, here is what doctors don’t know about this illness and probably won’t figure out for decades, if ever, what a frustrating journey it has been for you as you’ve received incorrect or misleading diagnoses from doctor after doctor after doctor, being led on a wild goose chase, undergoing ineffective treatments, only to find your health worsening as a result, not to mention the grief and despair and helplessness you’ve experienced, but don’t worry, I’m here to set it all straight so that you can find the healing that you deserve.”
Seriously? I wish I were exaggerating, but the never-ending pathos and savior tone are too much to handle. I ended up skipping over several paragraphs of each chapter and skimming until I found the parts of the chapter that were actually valuable and explained the cause of the symptom/illness. I think that a narrative like this can be okay in the beginning of a book to set the stage a bit, but it’s littered throughout every chapter and becomes exasperating. This book needs an editor to clean up the streams of consciousness and soften his ego.
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes, because the liver is an unsung hero that doesn’t get enough care and attention and we all need to learn how to support our livers in a meaningful way. Just be prepared to skim over large portions of the book to discover the value buried within the prose.

This is another incredible book by Anthony William.
I didn’t expect this book to be so illuminating and informative as it is.
We are informed of all the functions of the liver that we previously knew nothing of.
The liver is conscious and has amazing powers of healing and regeneration. It processes fat and protects our pancreas.
Our diet should be composed of 15 percent or less of healthy fats from avocados, nuts, seeds, olives, olive oil, coconut oil, hempseed oil, coconut meat and coconut milk. The rest of our diet should include ample fruits, leafy greens, vegetables, potatoes, squash and, if desired, millet and some legumes. The liver is then able to create the necessary bile composition.
Anthony calls this diet “Code Green”, and it is the optimal diet. Then there are codes of various other colours ending with the most dangerous one “Code Red-Plus” which is when a diet is 3o percent or more fat, some of it from fried foods, rancid everyday cooking oils such as Canola oil, palm oil and corn oil, lard and more.
Anthony states that Code Red-Plus is common when someone is on a ketogenic diet. The renowned Dr Mercola, whom I otherwise much admire, promotes the ketogenic diet and when I write on-line about Anthony’s views on the dangers of this diet Dr Mercola’s many fans are up in arms against me.
The harmfulness to the liver of too much fat is something I was previously totally ignorant about before reading this book.
The liver is literally starving on a high-fat diet. If we’re on a diet with no carbohydrates, like fruit, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes and raw honey, our liver will slowly starve and we’ll age rapidly. If we do eat carbohydrates and they’re always accompanied by fat, our liver can also starve for glucose.
The liver is our constant companion, tirelessly working for us. It is highly active and engages in over 2000 responsibilities related to “storing, delivering, processing, expelling, cleaning, creating and manufacturing”.
The book contains innumerable valuable chapters providing us with information not yet known to medical science.
Dark under-eye circles, Raynaud’s syndrome, gout, varicose veins, inflammation and insomnia are or, in the latter case, can be, due to what Anthony terms “dirty blood syndrome”.
Most of us are chronically dehydrated. To help against this we should consume 16 oz of lemon or lime water first thing in the morning. Anthony advises us to do what he calls Liver Rescue Morning, which entails drinking the lemon water and refraining from consuming fats before lunchtime.
He offers us a valuable cleansing programme called Liver Rescue 3:6:9 which we should do at least once every two to three months. It is divided into three parts. The first part, called The 3, consists of a preparation phase. In The 6, the internal cleansing begins, and in The 9, the final three days, the liver “gets to let go, sending multitudes of troublemakers into your bloodstream for delivery out of your body”.
Most of the cleanse consists of eating apples, which are tremendously healthy for us, much more than we realize; but delicious meals such as steamed asparagus and Brussels sprouts with Liver Rescue Salad are included.
Recipes for the mentioned meals are provided, complete with appetizing photos.
Brussels sprouts and asparagus are so valuable for us that even if we usually confine ourselves to eating organic fruits and vegetables, as I do, if we can’t get hold of these, it is absolutely worthwhile to eat the ordinary ones instead.
A high-protein diet automatically means high-fat, so we need to avoid these.
We are warned against liver and gallbladder flushes, which are far too extreme and make matters worse. Though apple cider vinegar is the best of the vinegars, the liver hates all vinegar.
There’s a chapter listing and describing “powerful foods, herbs and supplements for your liver”.
A whole chapter is devoted to acne, which is caused by “a chronic low-grade level of Streptococcus”. The problem is exacerbated by antibiotics.
There is even a chapter containing Liver Rescue Meditations.
I have found all Anthony William’s books, and each time I read one feel that one is even more valuable than the previous ones, and that is what I feel about Liver Rescue too. It is an amazing book which has provided me with much completely new information.
The next of his books on my reading list is Thyroid Healing, so I’ll be ordering it shortly.
I didn’t expect this book to be so illuminating and informative as it is.

Yes, I have jumped on the bandwagon and decide to see what the Medical Medium is all about. Myself and Marlene set this as our April Non Fiction book read challenge.
There were some very good points made in this book and I certainly took away a lot of tips for improving by eating and fasting habits. He could have made the same points in half the time. Each chapter had a lot of repetition under different health issues but ultimately telling us the same thing. Will the people who need this the most actually read it, probably not as it gets a bit technical at times and, as mentioned above, is longwinded.
Now to the author, I must say he came across, to me, as an unlikeable cocksure person. I do not believe and was disturbed by his claims of getting his information and guidance from a Spirit. It came across as rather preachy/Preacher at times and that everyone should believe him even without proof of his claims. I didn't like the tone he continually used to debunk Doctors, people who have spend years getting professional training unlike him who gets it from his Spirit! I do agree that Doctors are often too quick in prescribing a drug to "cure" an ailment when a change in diet or habits may have helped more but people need to be careful and make those changes under the care of their doctors.
I am not a convert to his "cult" but can give him credit for some good ideas. If he toned it down a bit I would like him more but I guess that is his brand/gimmick.

This was my New Year’s “food and health” read. I thought it was fantastic, but I can also see people being a little weirded out by his occasional references to “Spirit” as the source of his knowledge.
Books about food can get frustrating over time because after awhile pretty much everything you’ve read will contradict what you’ve read somewhere else. For example, the low-carb keto diets are very popular right now, but this author thinks they are hard on the liver and deprive it of complex carbs and nutrients the liver needs to cleanse and repair itself.
He talks about how the liver is basically the best friend we never even knew we had because of all the ways it “takes the hit” for the rest of the body. What I think is interesting is that many of the basic fruits and vegetables he recommends are not just good for this one body organ, but benefit all of them. A good read that gets you thinking about all the cool ways God makes food to meet the human body’s needs.

Honestly the worst book. So corny it had me in stitches. It’s like it is pitched at 5 year olds. “But wait a minute! Isn’t sugar bad?!” da da dunh!!! Ooh so dramatic!
Also someone who claims to receive their knowledge from a constantly whispering spirit guide, and to see people’s auras on the regular, absolutely reeks of snake oil.
The magical life changing elixir mentioned in the foreword is... wait for it... a banana blueberry smoothie. Did you grow up under a rock that you never knew about delicious tasty healthy smoothies? I couldn’t get through this book but I did read enough to make me laugh out loud on the train to work a couple times. Do not read this book! It is terrible!

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK if you have any form of diabetes or liver problems. Before I rant this book does have in my educated opinion about 50% good information but everything, I mean everything he says about how the liver functions is WRONG, he is totally wrong about fructose and glucose in benefiting the liver, you will not cleanse a fatty liver with his plan.
How much credit can you give a person when they make up a medicinal reason for something and just say" My spirit I channel from the future told me that but medical science hasn't figured it out yet.

Ad Hoc B.S.
When listing the amount you should take of a supplement it suggests it by drops or one pill. How much of that supplement is in that drop or pill? Supplements vary greatly. Most scientific research based advice about supplements would give you the actual amount in mg or ml. Also his 3:6:9 plan is based on the liver likes things in three's. I like to base my health choices based on science and not on ad hoc B.S.

Anthony Williams ist mir schon eine Weile bekannt, u.a. durch Heile deine Schilddrüse. Als Betroffene greift man irgendwann, wenn die Ärzte einem nicht mehr weiterhelfen können nach jedem Strohhalm und probiert vieles aus.
Tatsächlich liest meine Ärztin ebenfalls "Heile deine Leber", weshalb sich bei mir die Hoffnung auftat, einige meiner Probleme nach diesem Buch, gemeinsam mit ihr angehen zu können.
Nun bin ich kein Mensch, der viele Sachbücher oder Ratgeber liest. Oft ermüden mich die doch recht trocken geschriebenen Werke. Anthony Williams hat seinen Ratgeber hingegen relativ symphatisch - darf ich das so sagen? - verfasst. Nichts desto trotz gab es ab etwa der Hälfte gewisse Ermüdungserscheinungen bei mir. So spannend und faszinieren die Zusammenhänge sind und auch die Tatsache, dass man viele Momente erfährt, in denen man denkt, jetzt ist mir einiges klar, hat es mich wirklich Zeit und Kraft gekostet, das Buch zu beenden.
Die im Buch enthaltenen Rezepte werde ich tatsächlich versuchen öfter man umzusetzen und dank des Buches habe ich auch einige Dinge in meinem Leben, voran in meiner Ernährung geändert, da ich jetzt einige Zusammenhänge besser verstehen kann. Und tatsächlich haben sich schon einige positive Veränderungen gezeigt. Natürlich erwarte ich keine Wunder, aber jede Verbesserung ist ein Fortschritt.
Allerdings ist der Entgiftungsplan für mich als berufstätige Mutter leider nicht so umsetzbar wie ich es gern hätte, daher kann ich dazu nicht so viel sagen.
Alles in allem, ist das Buch für mich sein Geld wert und kann Menschen helfen, die sich vielleicht von Ärzten nicht mehr verstanden fühlen.
Fazit
Nachdem ich jetzt weiß, was die Leber alles beeinflusst, kann ich besser auf viele Dinge achten und entsprechend handeln. Das Buch ist in dieser Hinsicht eine gute Unterstützung, wenn man gesundheitlich nicht mehr weiter weiß. Aber es kann auch Angst machen und deshalb 4 / 5 Sternen.

Quotes: "If I walk into a crowd of 1,000 people, 900 will have hurting livers—and almost none of them will know it."
"Brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), irritability, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anxiousness, acne, bloating, and constipation are experiences so commonplace that you may not even think of them as symptoms of anything underlying—yet they’re very often signs of a liver calling out for help."
"Then there are the conditions that we know are serious and seem almost impossible to stop: ones like diabetes, depression, heart palpitations, gout, eczema, psoriasis, and methylation problems—it’s also unknown that these are liver-caused. As for fatty liver, jaundice, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, the medical knowledge that they’re related to the liver doesn’t take away the mystery surrounding them. Not to mention that as our body’s main filter and nutritional storehouse, the liver is essential for dealing with any health problem, period. So the fact that liver problems are rampant globally puts us at a precarious moment."
"We know in the backs of our minds that drinking too much can cause the liver harm; we’ve heard the terms cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver failure, jaundice, liver cancer, and elevated liver enzymes; maybe we’ve come across a mention of liver heat or been offered liver supplements by an alternative practitioner. And of course we’ve all heard of eating animal liver—which happens to be one of the worst things you can do for your own liver (more on that later). For many of us, that’s the extent of what we associate with the liver. The liver got more attention in ancient mythology than it does in modern medicine."
"If the fat ratio in a diet were lowered, and more foods like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, potatoes, squash, zucchini, berries, and other fruits were consumed, insulin resistance would reduce and blood sugar would become more balanced. The pancreas would also be saved from pumping out extra insulin. Remember: natural, healthy sugars and carbohydrates are not the enemy; they’re friends. It’s excess fat that becomes the bully on the school playground.
Not that all sugars are beneficial. Sweeteners such as table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, which aren’t attached to nutrients, aren’t doing anyone any favors—they’re a drain on health. Certain sugars, though—natural sugars from whole foods, like those found in fruits, coconut water, raw honey, sweet potatoes, and the sugars you get from digestion of good carbohydrates like squash and potatoes—are wildly beneficial. That may sound scary or flat-out wrong, given the common anti-sugar advice out there. Maybe you have fruit fear. That’s probably because you’ve been told at some point that the sugars in fruit feed everything from Candida to cancer. You might have heard, too, that the condition fatty liver can be caused by sugar, so you should therefore avoid fruit. Well, you don’t need to live with that burden anymore. The truth is that you need those natural sugars—and all the other nutrients you get from fruit—to function at your best."
"When a liver is too overburdened with toxins—such as from the environment, an already present viral load, or unproductive foods that someone eats regularly—its filtration system gets backed up and these poisons often leach into the lymphatic system. This makes the job of liver lymphocytes much harder."
"Research and science aren’t allowed to go there yet. Connecting those dots would mean exposing the influence of the pesticide world and the heavy metal world. It would mean being honest about the industries that put these into our everyday lives and how the medical machine is hand in hand with them. It’s well known, for example, that drugs and pharmaceuticals can contain heavy metals, so how can we build the bridge yet to their effects on the liver? Pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides, too, have ties to the medical industry—another reason why we can’t build the bridge yet. We won’t be allowed to go there for a very long time. It will take a major shift for a doctor to be given the data and training to be able to say, “Whoa, this one enzyme is signaling that your liver is dealing with a virus, and hey, wait a minute, this other enzyme is triggered by a chemical in fungicides that’s used on all kinds of products. And here’s another enzyme coming from insecticides that your town drops to control the mosquito population.” It’s better for medical industry relationships that we stay in the dark: “You’ve got high liver enzymes? Let’s never study which one’s coming from what.”"
"One lifesaver we’re fooled into thinking is bad is fruit. We shun fruit and tend to think of it as the enemy—when it’s the very solution to free us. We carry around fruit fear, thinking we should be off every carb. Don’t let that high-protein (translation: high-fat) diet with the green juices fool you. While it’s better than the standard diet of fried and processed foods, don’t think it’s going to dissolve your gallstones. In fact, it can still create them (as well as kidney stones). While sodium-rich vegetables such as spinach, kale, radishes, mustard greens, celery, and asparagus can be great for getting rid of stones, if they’re part of a high-protein diet, all they’re going to do is fight against that high fat content that’s giving the liver an extra load. To dissolve stones, you need to lower your radical fat intake, and that means lowering your dense protein intake regardless of what diet you subscribe to, whether it’s plant-based or includes animal products. Bring in plenty of fruits like cherries, berries, melons, lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit (if they work for you), tomatoes, and a little bit of pineapple in addition to those greens. And don’t fall into the fear that you need to deseed, peel, or tear apart your tomato. All that does is take away critical nutrients that help heal autoimmune conditions and other chronic illnesses as well as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Regardless of how you’ve been conditioned to feel about fruit, stones won’t dissolve without enough of it. A glass of lemon or lime water every morning and evening is a handy tool to enhance the stone-dissolution process (and cleanse your liver), as is juicing a handful of fresh, raw asparagus along with whatever else you’re throwing into the juicer. With every step you take to care for your liver and gallbladder, whether you’ve suffered from gallbladder infection, gallbladder stones, or another affliction—or if you’ve had your gallbladder removed, and this chapter has helped you finally understand and process what led to that—you’re one step closer to tapping into your body’s secrets. You’re the one now saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here to rescue you.”"
Self-compassion is a powerful revelation. It’s a moment when you’ve been driven down to your knees and you feel the ultimate blessing of “You’ve been forgiven” from the highest source above. It’s the feeling that being yourself matters, and it’s also more than that: It’s a connection to the knowledge that God and the heavens care about you. It’s tapping into this ultimate kindness that’s out there for you at the same time it’s within. This revelation kicks out self-hatred, removes the venomous poison from your veins and from your soul. It is said, “God is love,” when God is not love alone. God is unconditional love. The human mind will always put conditions upon our love for ourselves and others. We can’t help it. We think we can feel unconditional love; what we can really do is tap into compassion alongside our love. Compassion plus love: that’s the human version of unconditional love. God’s unconditional love is bigger, more powerful. To feel anything approaching that toward ourselves or other people, to experience a sense of peace, it’s compassion we need to find.
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My thoughts: 🔖Page 39 of 469 Ch. 7 Your Heroic Liver The Liver's Immune System - There are xxiv (24) pages before 1, so I've read 63 pages, and it doesn't feel like it. I was hoping for 100 or at least to make it to chapter 8 in section 2, but my brain is done. I'm surprised by how easy to read this is. I already ordered a copy for my mom. I think this is the book to read, more in-depth than Skinny Liver, which I loved.
🔖135 Ch. 20 Chemical and Food Sensitivities - I want to read more, but this book says I should be sleeping. It reads like fiction. I'm going to be evaluating medications for sure. I may have to use heat instead of Motrin in the future. There is so much awesome information here.
🔖283 Ch. 37 Powerful Foods, Herbs, and Supplements for Your Liver - I'm enjoying this book but there are some issues. As in-depth as it seems many times he has mentioned something and said you wanted the complete information you need to read Medical Medium or Thyroid Healing, I'm sure a paragraph here won't hurt. Finally every time I'm on a section cover page I'm bumped back to the Forward and have to use the table of contents to get to the next chapter.
Finally! This was a long book but I'm glad. I'm a bit concerned that he doesn't say exactly who Spirit is. Nevertheless, the information here makes a lot of sense and I will be trying these recipes.
Recommend to others?: Yes. There is so much beneficial information in this book.

Pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides, too, have ties to the medical industry—another reason why we can’t build the bridge yet. We won’t be allowed to go there for a very long time. It will take a major shift for a doctor to be given the data and training to be able to say, “Whoa, this one enzyme is signaling that your liver is dealing with a virus, and hey, wait a minute, this other enzyme is triggered by a chemical in fungicides that’s used on all kinds of products. And here’s another enzyme coming from insecticides that your town drops to control the mosquito population.” It’s better for medical industry relationships that we stay in the dark: “You’ve got high liver enzymes? Let’s never study which one’s coming from what.”"
"One lifesaver we’re fooled into thinking is bad is fruit. We shun fruit and tend to think of it as the enemy—when it’s the very solution to free us. We carry around fruit fear, thinking we should be off every carb. Don’t let that high-protein (translation: high-fat) diet with the green juices fool you. While it’s better than the standard diet of fried and processed foods, don’t think it’s going to dissolve your gallstones. In fact, it can still create them (as well as kidney stones). While sodium-rich vegetables such as spinach, kale, radishes, mustard greens, celery, and asparagus can be great for getting rid of stones, if they’re part of a high-protein diet, all they’re going to do is fight against that high fat content that’s giving the liver an extra load. To dissolve stones, you need to lower your radical fat intake, and that means lowering your dense protein intake regardless of what diet you subscribe to, whether it’s plant-based or includes animal products. Bring in plenty of fruits like cherries, berries, melons, lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit (if they work for you), tomatoes, and a little bit of pineapple in addition to those greens. And don’t fall into the fear that you need to deseed, peel, or tear apart your tomato. All that does is take away critical nutrients that help heal autoimmune conditions and other chronic illnesses as well as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Regardless of how you’ve been conditioned to feel about fruit, stones won’t dissolve without enough of it. A glass of lemon or lime water every morning and evening is a handy tool to enhance the stone-dissolution process (and cleanse your liver), as is juicing a handful of fresh, raw asparagus along with whatever else you’re throwing into the juicer. With every step you take to care for your liver and gallbladder, whether you’ve suffered from gallbladder infection, gallbladder stones, or another affliction—or if you’ve had your gallbladder removed, and this chapter has helped you finally understand and process what led to that—you’re one step closer to tapping into your body’s secrets. You’re the one now saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here to rescue you.”"
Self-compassion is a powerful revelation. It’s a moment when you’ve been driven down to your knees and you feel the ultimate blessing of “You’ve been forgiven” from the highest source above. It’s the feeling that being yourself matters, and it’s also more than that: It’s a connection to the knowledge that God and the heavens care about you. It’s tapping into this ultimate kindness that’s out there for you at the same time it’s within. This revelation kicks out self-hatred, removes the venomous poison from your veins and from your soul. It is said, “God is love,” when God is not love alone. God is unconditional love. The human mind will always put conditions upon our love for ourselves and others. We can’t help it. We think we can feel unconditional love; what we can really do is tap into compassion alongside our love. Compassion plus love: that’s the human version of unconditional love. God’s unconditional love is bigger, more powerful. To feel anything approaching that toward ourselves or other people, to experience a sense of peace, it’s compassion we need to find.
My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
My thoughts: 🔖Page 39 of 469 Ch. 7 Your Heroic Liver The Liver's Immune System - There are xxiv (24) pages before 1, so I've read 63 pages, and it doesn't feel like it. I was hoping for 100 or at least to make it to chapter 8 in section 2, but my brain is done. I'm surprised by how easy to read this is. I already ordered a copy for my mom. I think this is the book to read, more in-depth than Skinny Liver, which I loved.
🔖135 Ch. 20 Chemical and Food Sensitivities - I want to read more, but this book says I should be sleeping. It reads like fiction. I'm going to be evaluating medications for sure. I may have to use heat instead of Motrin in the future. There is so much awesome information here.
🔖283 Ch. 37 Powerful Foods, Herbs, and Supplements for Your Liver - I'm enjoying this book but there are some issues. As in-depth as it seems many times he has mentioned something and said you wanted the complete information you need to read Medical Medium or Thyroid Healing, I'm sure a paragraph here won't hurt. Finally every time I'm on a section cover page I'm bumped back to the Forward and have to use the table of contents to get to the next chapter.
Finally! This was a long book but I'm glad. I'm a bit concerned that he doesn't say exactly who Spirit is. Nevertheless, the information here makes a lot of sense and I will be trying these recipes.
Recommend to others?: Yes. There is so much beneficial information in this book.

I didn’t finish every single chapter on illness and disease, but other than that I read every page. Anthony Williams and spirit are able to tell a story about your liver and it’s role in your life like I’ve never heard about any mechanism of my body. He writes everything in laymen’s terms so it’s so easy to understand, and his depth of knowledge on what the liver does and how it relates to everything else is CRAZY! Our livers are our best friends, they pump blood to the heart and protect the brain from dangerous heavy metals and neurotoxins.

This guy loves his analogies... it's like this! Your liver is like that! And imagine if...then you can see what your liver does.
Okay, but just tell me exactly what it does, what harms it, and what to do. That should eliminate about 2/3 of the pages. I just skipped ahead, finally, to the celery juice thing.
And quit talking about "medical research and science," as if they're some kind of cabal.

Read the bulk of it. Did a lot of skimming. Principles are good and I agree with it. Got a bit annoyed at his verbosity. (I wonder how many different interns wrote this and copied and pasted sections over and over. It could be cut in half at least.) there are summaries of his book out there, might be a better place to start. BUT I’m excited to do it! I think it will be good for my body.

Excellent info to use as continued reference. Another reminder of how we must take charge of our own wellness...

Amazing book!! I really recommend it no matter if you think it is not for you, the Liver can cause many of the strange symptoms you been dealing for such a long time..
I'm a big fan of the medical medium I started doing the celery juice after all these chronically illnesses that were attacking me, many Dr's, Many medicines and the situation just got worst and they keep telling me things that were not realistic..
"Getting better is not about choosing sides or what you have adopted as a belief system in that moment"
As a Cancer Thriving person, I decided to take my body and my health in my own hands besides giving my power to all those Dr. after so many crazy diagnoses that only made me feel doubt beside hope.. I decided to trust in my body, in myself and the universe to recover my health and my life.. doing the medical medium diet and suggestions has changed my life so much even if I'm only getting started..
"Liver rescue is about your heart, brain, immune system, skin, and gut. It’s about sleeping well, balancing blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, losing weight, and looking and feeling younger. It’s about being clearer-headed, more peaceful, happier. It’s about being able to adapt to our fast-changing times. Saying yes to liver support is the most efficient action on your to-do list. A healthy liver is the ultimate de-stressor, the ultimate anti-aging ally, the ultimate safeguard against a threatening world. It’s key to mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being."
Gastritis, Colitis, SIBO, IBS, Intolerance of Gluten, Lymphatic system compromise just to name a few are many of the crazy symptoms and chronical illnesses I've been dealing with and no Dr has given me any solution and answer. Thanks to the Medical medium and his books my body, mind, and life feels like I have more hope and answers than ever before.. now I'm recovering my healthy weight as I was very underweight because of all these chronical illnesses, my mood is changing everything is starting to look better.
"Getting in touch with your liver is how you get in touch with who you are on a soul level."
If your Dr keeps telling you they don't know the cause, or they give you 100000 medicines to take every single day, something in there is not right.. remember your body loves you, your body will never attack you so never believe such a thing.
I really recommend to trust in yourself and to trust in the power of food. since when a Dr who is a human being just like you and I have more power over your body than your own self?
Do your research, trust in food, trust in yourself, love yourself remember nobody has the right, the power, and the love to help you, you have all the answers within you. you can do it!!!!
Great recipes, suggestions, meditations and more get ready to get your life back!!!

April 24, 2023A very interesting book. Extremely long and detailed. As I’m getting older, I want to take a proactive approach towards my health and hopefully avoid some of the severe issues that have been prevalent in my family history of kidney and liver disease.
I wasn’t very familiar with the Medical Medium other than hearing friends talk about it. It surprised me to see that such an enormous textbook type of book had zero references and the author appears to have no qualifications or credentials other than being spoken to by “Spirit.” What spirit? Like the Holy Spirit? 🤔
How on earth can he have so much to say about things he’s only been told by a spirit guide? Does he research what he says he’s told? Does he have any licensing in nutrition or wholistic health or homeopathy or anything? According to his website, no. He’s not licensed in anything.
It’s possible he does have some kind of spiritual gift.
Or he could just be very intuitive and good at guessing.
Or he could actually be very well-studied and researched but keeps that a secret so as to build his brand on mystery and mystical elements.
Or he could be a very successful con artist.
He definitely has some markings of a cult leader. I’m wary of anyone who claims to have received special information from the spirit world that nobody else has ever known before. There is a lot of “the medical community isn’t advanced enough to know this yet,” and “science hasn’t discovered this yet but I have,” and “everyone else is deceived but I have the truth,” scattered throughout the book.
Okay, so all that to say, much of what I read in this book does seem to make sense and worth trying out. While I don’t really trust the author, I do plan on implementing some of the food protocols recommended in the book.

2.5 stars for the scarcity of information in the book and 1 star for readability.
The masses disagree with me, but this book is bloated with redundancy, analogies, and bizarre claims that I cannot comprehend or would outright doubt and dispute.
Redundancy: I feared I had lost my place in the book and reread the same sentence, paragraph, chapter, etc. — that was my personal reading experience.
Analogies: It was like Analogy Avenue without easements or exits. See what I did there? Well, imagine a book with so many analogies that there were two in the same sentence! They were very long-winded and awkward — a stinking shoe one comes to mind...
Bizarre claims: I do not doubt that he had a spiritual intervention, but sometimes— when one says it aloud or writes it for others to read —it can sound strange. The spirit and angels were definitely something he could share with close friends, but myself, an audience of one, felt as though he sounded delusional.
Also, all the things that doctors didn’t know or for which he was the gatekeeper of such knowledge made him sound like the stereotypical snake oil salesman or quack.
I am best suited for a summary of this and any other book ever written by this author. An Amazon reviewer said it best when she mentioned how it all came down to 5 pages, which she took a picture of and posted in her review (copyright?).
2.5 is 3 stars because I’ve rounded upward and because, at the end of the day, William wrote a book and it may truly help some people (placebo effect).
For those who are in need for medical advice concerning the liver, please consult a licensed medical doctor.
