Those that know me know that I have a great interest in different diets. I suppose a high percentage of women are. The last one being “The Plant Paradox” – Ketonic Diet. A great friend of mine referred me to this book as she has had quite a lot of unexplained inflammation and discomfort in the body. This book grabbed her attention and mine.
The Medical Medium is about the Author’s life and his phenomenal gift, the ability to diagnose a person’s illness or disharmony in the body. Anthony was born with the unique ability to converse with a high level spirit who provides him with extraordinarily accurate health information that’s often far ahead of its time. Since the age of 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 thousands worldwide, among them movie stars, rock stars, billionaires, professional athletes bestselling 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 the spirit world. Anthony has also become an invaluable resource to doctors who need help solving their most difficult cases. www.medicalmedium.com
This book took a good week to read. I bought mine on Amazon. It was very well written. For me totally spellbinding and his suggestions on ways to build our immune system and improve our health are very straightforward and simple. Celery Juice, which strengthens hydrochloric acid in the gut and provides mineral salts to the central nervous system. Anthony links illnesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Thyroid, disease, Vertigo, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis and Tinnitus to the Epstein-Barr Virus of which there are over 60 varieties according to Anthony.
Anthony William does not believe the body attacks itself [autoimmune disease] but that the body is only reacting to being attacked by pathogens. Also if something is making you feel bad emotionally, it is probably damaging your body and making you more vulnerable to illness, and if it continues, it is also exhausting your adrenal glands, so ideally you want let negative feelings such as fear, anxiety, anger, hatred, guilt and shame arise and pass by instead of suppressing or engaging with it.
He talks of candida and how once the diet is adjusted, and hydrochloric acid is increased in the digestive fluid by drinking a pint of celery juice and incorporating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to rebuild the intestinal tract and strengthen and detoxify the liver the body can heal itself.
Now this book is rather large and I could write several pages in this blog of examples of different conditions and ways to improve health but I do not want to go into competition with Anthony William – however I will tell you so far how I have been applying this diet to my everyday life to give you an example of what is expected of one if you were to make these changes, he informs us that we should get a response from our bodies over a three month to 2 year period.
Once I had read this book, I purchased a juicing machine from Amazon [where else] and I have religiously been juicing one and a half heads of celery a day per person [making one pint of pure celery juice per family member]. Now I thought the family would think I had gone “barmy” which is my family’s usual thoughts on the different diets I take on, but not so this time. My weightlifting sons have been delighted as they recognize that the sodium salts and chlorophyll are so good for them. One son reported that he usually suffers from constipation – but after a few days on this juice he has no problem anymore. Another son finds that his skin {having suffered from acne as a teenager} has totally improved. Most exciting., but as they have no other underlying conditions, there are no other findings at present other than that they enjoy it and know that it is good for them. So we are just applying the advice of our first drink of the day will be 1 pint of water with half a lemon juiced in it and/or 20 minute break 1 pint of freshly juiced celery and then 20/30 minutes break and then breakfast to follow and this has worked out very well for us, and we have no problem sticking to it, so long as I am prepared to make it and get out of bed earlier than them!
Anthony also suggests that we detox, juicing celery and eating vegetables and fruit only, one to two days a week, or a week/month at a time to clear the system. The celery juice has been no problem. We have increased our fruit and vegetable intake which has been easy but a couple of days a week or whole weeks just hasn’t happened yet – I just need good weather to stop thinking of warm food.
So as a Reflexologist, Reiki Master, Metamorphic Catalyst why am I writing this article, it is to let you know that there are many different alternative diets to improve our health and as this one only requires one to juice celery and give it a try [it also gives lists of other supplements should you have certain conditions] what is there not to like? Also to say that Relaxation that is afforded through having one of my treatments helps the mind and body to heal itself or have greater energy and balance and all these things go hand in hand, not forgetting to mention Suzanne, Spiritual Counselor who I mentioned in another blog, could also give massive support in understanding how and why you have a certain condition.
