Anthony William here. I'm going to scoot over here. This is an amazing moment right here because I'm really happy. I got an incredible doctor right here, an amazing man that's helped so many people throughout the years. He's a cardiologist and right here, he's the man behind Clean and I want to show his books for a second. You remember the Clean book right here came out years ago. We're going to tell the story how we met. We're going to talk about heavy metal detox. We're going to talk about metals in people's liver. We've got so many things we're going to talk about.
But these are the books right here. Number one bestseller. We're talking about incredible books. He's a New York Times bestselling author and an amazing doctor. Clean Gut is a great book. It's all about the gut. It's all about because, you know, that's where so much stems from. And hey, the liver is part of the gut, you know.
So this is Dr. Alejandro Younger I have here with me.
Amazing time.
He's got a recipe book that came out a while back,
and he's got a book coming out, Clean 7.
It's a cleansing book.
Incredible.
This is coming out soon too.
So I'm really honored to have him here.
We have a history together.
It's an amazing time right here.
Hey, you're an incredible cardiologist.
An amazing man.
I mean, look, when I got family members with cardio,
They have a problem because people, they don't eat good, right?
They get the heart problems, the heart conditions.
I make sure this is the man right here.
He's an incredible guy.
And so here we are.
He's the number one New York Times bestselling author.
He's an incredible guy.
Helps out so many people.
And you have an amazing history with your practice, too, going back.
Everybody knows who you are.
You're famous in my eyes.
And I had an amazing history with you.
That's incredible.
And so it's great that you're here.
I'm honored to have you here.
So thank you for coming on.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
We're going to talk good stuff.
We've got the celery juice right here.
We do.
I think the bottom line is that you and I, we feel the same way.
Chronic illness is growing at an all-time high, okay?
All-time high.
Science and research can't keep up with it.
It just can't.
It can't keep up with it.
More than not keeping up with it,
It is treating chronic diseases as if they were acute problems.
See, for acute problems like a broken bone, a burst appendix, a heart attack, an ongoing heart attack, there's nothing better than modern science.
Yeah, I agree.
But the problems that humanity is suffering from are not mostly acute.
90% of the problems that humanity is suffering from are chronic problems.
And they do not respond to surgery and medications the way that acute problems do.
Yeah, yeah.
So we are not really treating the chronic problems.
We are just killing the symptoms.
Yeah, you know, that's really...
You know what's amazing about that is,
is until somebody gets sick with a chronic condition,
symptoms they have, and they're not getting better,
and they're going to a neurologist, right?
You've seen this?
I mean, come on.
How many times have you talked to a neurologist?
I've seen it.
I mean, you're a doctor.
I've seen it myself.
You're a medical doctor.
I've seen it myself.
Yeah, I got seven prescription medications for health issues
that I was suffering from.
and it didn't make sense to me so i looked for a different solution yeah and that took me to
discover the power of what we eat and the power of herbs yeah and the power of the medical medium
well hey i'm honored i'm honored you think so i'm honored you think so and and so the whole thing is
it's like you know when people are dealing with exactly those chronic symptoms they're going to
neurologist and they're going to another doctor then they go another doctor and then they're
going in all these different places and the whole life is based on doctor appointments
and science and research, it's great for nuts and bolts, right?
I call it nuts and bolts.
You got a gallbladder because we don't take care of ourself
and we've got an infection in the gallbladder and it's got to come out.
You want a good surgeon.
You want a good doctor.
You get heart problems.
You want a good heart doctor.
I mean, that's what you are, a heart doctor and, you know,
an internist, internal medicine doctor too, all of that.
And, you know, you want that.
But then what about all the other people?
Because that's why you became an expert about chronic illness
Because what about all the other people that they can't get answers for all the problems they have?
The problem with modern medicine is with chronic diseases in approaching chronic diseases is that we do not
Look for the root cause of the problem. Yeah, we just very concentrated in cutting and
Pieces off and giving medications just to calm the symptoms, right?
But the root cause of the problem is not what modern Western medicine is the best at or gives any attention to.
There is a big growing movement which is called functional medicine that is what happens to modern medicine doctors when they start thinking like Ayurvedic or Chinese medicine doctors.
And these are the doctors that are more interested.
They're more open to what could be wrong.
What's happening inside the body?
How deep is the problem?
You know, and that matters.
I mean, back in the day, you know, back in the day, like, you know, you've been a doctor for a long time.
Okay.
So, I mean, you've got experience.
And new doctors, they come out of school, fresh out of school, and they just don't know a fraction of what you know.
Because it takes that history.
Sick people, science and research doesn't have the answers for aches and pains, tingles and numbness, vertigo, you know, neck pain.
mysterious back pain sciatica pain without back problems you know all of this and all these
different things and the foggy head the brain fog right and the floaters in the eyes and then the
fatigue and all that fatigue you come out of school and then all that what is what the hell
is all that like what is all that right i mean the doctor said but you've got the history you know
you've got that long-standing history that there needs to be more figured out to help people you
And it's doctors like you that they're rare.
There's not a lot of doctors like you out there that says, you know what?
I'm an expert at cardiology.
I'm an expert at these things in the field.
But you know what?
People are suffering.
He has compassion.
When I met you, you could tell the story when I met you, but he's a compassionate man.
He's a compassionate man about people suffering.
I don't see that too often.
I know doctors are compassionate.
They have to be, but it takes it to a new level with him because he actually really cares.
He said, you know, he said, I remember when I first met you, you said that science and research doesn't have all the answers, okay?
Because people are, they're sick out there and we need to do something about it.
You were just like, I'm going to spend, I remember you said, I'm going to dedicate my life.
That's what you said.
I met Anthony at a party for one of my book launches.
Back what, in like 2009 or 10?
2009, yeah.
2009, 2009.
2008 or 2009.
Okay.
And somebody brought him to me because people that I know intimately know that I am a healer groupie.
Some people are rock star groupies and they follow rock stars.
I follow healers, true healers, right?
So they introduced me to him and they told me his story.
And I, you know, always, even though I believe and I know that miracles exist and that spirit exists and that it communicates with us,
I am initially a skeptic until proven otherwise.
You're a hard man.
But I like to.
When you come from science, that's the whole point.
So if it's got to convince you, it better be good because you don't.
The thing is, I liked you and I looked in your eyes and I knew that at least you believed what you told me.
You were not faking stuff.
right now it was then up to me to see if what you believed had something to do with what was wrong
what was wrong so a few months later i got a really big scare right i i was having um liver
pains like really intense liver pains and i decided to give the medical medium a try so i
called you and you said to me and i was already scheduled for the next day for a biopsy of my
liver and I called you and you said first of all your liver has no problem you have an old cyst
that you were born with and the reason and the reason that you are having pains has nothing to
do with the cyst so when they find the cyst don't worry about it don't touch it yeah leave it alone
leave it alone so so um and he put me on cat's claw if the cat's claw for the liver powerful
What else do you do?
Clean that liver out.
Like spirulina.
I put you on some spirulina.
I put you on mullein leaf because I wanted the immune system of your liver to get stronger
and to be protected because your livers have their own immune system.
Immediately I ordered everything he put me on and the next day I went to have a biopsy
and the results of the biopsy were...
Not a biopsy.
You had a sonogram.
I had a biopsy of my lymph nodes and a sonogram and a CAT scan of my liver.
And basically, they told me exactly that.
That I had a cyst.
They didn't want to touch it because they didn't think that was part of the problem.
And then I received the next day all the things that I ordered.
And then four days later, I had no more pain.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
And then I started sending my, well, I consulted you about my kids.
I consulted you about my family, other family members.
And then I started sending patients to you.
and like everybody had some benefit,
if not incredible benefit
by seeing you and following your advice.
Well, I'm honored.
You know, and the thing is with you though,
when I tell you, hey, doc,
you got to do this, you got to do that.
You just do it.
You just do it.
You just said, oh, I'll go get what,
what do you need me to do?
Immediately.
Immediately, you know,
and because you believe that herbs,
you believe that food does heal and it does heal certain parts of her body certain things because
you have that belief doctors didn't have that years ago you know when i you know it's a new
thing now that doctors think food helps yeah i mean i've been i mean i'm 30 years into this or
more helping people out all these years and i've talked to a lot of doctors over the years i've
talked to angry doctors because they didn't believe no no garlic can't help with anything
You can't use garlic for the flu.
You can't use this and that.
They just don't have any faith.
My father, who was from Hungary,
from a little town in Hungary,
used to tell me that garlic kept away the bad spirits, right?
Yeah.
Since I was a little boy.
So I always knew that garlic was really good.
It did something for you.
But I go even further.
I really believe that nature did not design the human body to get sick.
Just like it didn't design anybody to get sick.
Any animal. Animals in the wild don't get sick.
I love that.
Animals that live in the way that nature designed them to eat,
in the places in which nature designed them to live,
and eat what nature designed them to eat, do not get sick.
We are the animals, and the cats and dogs that live close to us.
We are the animals that get sick.
Now, nature did not design humans or anything to get sick.
The sicknesses are just adaptation and survival mechanisms, right?
And when we discover what the obstacles are, and we remove the obstacles, and then we add whatever is lacking, everything corrects by itself.
You know, it falls into exactly what I've been teaching from my information, my source, that you've got to get rid of toxins.
You've got to get rid of toxins.
You've got to get rid of bugs.
Bugs, toxins.
I always say that.
And bugs feed off of toxins, like heavy metals.
We're going to talk about heavy metals.
I got a little bit of a heavy metal detox smoothie right here.
It's the medical medium heavy metal detox smoothie right there.
And, you know, bugs like to feed off of mercury.
They like to feed off of aluminum, lead, arsenic, copper.
And even more, these heavy metals, they depress your immune system so bugs can take over, right?
Otherwise, sometimes we have the ability to kill all these and keep them away, all these bugs, by ourselves with our immune system.
But these heavy metals, they tip the balance, and they allow and give bugs an advantage.
Yeah, and you know what's amazing is that we're made out of trace minerals.
You know, we're made out of minerals.
It's in our bones.
It's everywhere.
Trace minerals in our tissue, connective tissue, our organs.
We've got all these trace minerals.
You know, we've got the zinc, we've selenium.
We've got all these other trace minerals.
It's unbelievable what we're made out of.
And metals, toxic heavy metals, they're a metal.
They're a metal out of the earth, a toxic one, formed and shaped, and they react to other metals.
Trace minerals are types of metals in a way.
Minerals have that connection.
You have the metals, they're reacting to minerals, and then they destroy our trace minerals.
Metals destroy, they weaken our immune system, they break us down.
And they also work energetically in a negative way.
For example, we all talk about astrology and Mercury is retrograde.
So what is happening?
There's an energetic influence of Mercury, for example, that really puts your body in a pickle.
No, totally.
I agree 100%.
Exactly.
And when you've got the toxic heavy metals, you can have some brain fog.
You can have some anxiety.
It could have migraines, aches and pains.
Well, mercury is called the great mimicker because it can mimic any disease.
It can mimic as a psychiatric problem, as a skin disease, as a gastroenterology problem, as a heart problem.
It can mimic any disease.
So it is called the great mimicker.
And we need to find out because now everybody's exposed to mercury.
We all have mercury in us from generations past.
It's in the earth.
Well, yeah.
It's in the foods that we eat.
It's in the water that we shower with.
The industry's been using mercury going all the way back, hundreds and hundreds of years.
Always.
And it's in us.
We pass it on down the family line.
If we don't get it out of us, then how are we going to keep on passing it around?
Passing it down.
The problem is this.
I am now a true believer that detoxification is something that can save the big picture.
and really bring chronic disease now.
Now, detoxification is used in a weird way.
Too many people are using detox and this and detox that.
That's why functional medicine now changed the word
and talks about it as biotransformation.
So basically, it's what the body already knows what to do.
Getting toxic chemicals, which 90% are lipophilic, only dissolving fat,
and then throwing it through certain reactions in the liver.
First, phase one detoxification, phase two detoxification,
and turning them into a non-toxic and water-soluble compound
so that it can be excreted in the body.
But heavy metals cannot.
So you can create the conditions for your body to detoxify by themselves
by supporting the liver nutritionally,
by doing certain things to reduce the workload of the digestive system.
And heavy metals will not get cleansed.
We can cleanse other poisons and toxins out of us easier.
Most of them.
Yeah, most of them.
All right.
We can cleanse them out.
We do the right things with foods.
We do the right things with all the stuff.
But heavy metals won't do it.
Heavy metals, they're stubborn.
The body doesn't know how to get rid of it in an effective way.
We do get rid of it a little bit here and there.
Anybody who just came on, Dr. Alejandro Younger right here, MD, cardiologist, internist, specialist.
Give me a little history real quick like you know where you graduated all that I love I was born in Uruguay and
My life was very
Healthy by default. I went to medical school there
Then I moved to New York to do my internship and residency
Wow an internal medicine at NYU downtown hospital. Wow incredible. Then I did my cardiology fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital the hardcore
change of lifestyle and especially with diet
had me find myself after six years with irritable bowel syndrome, severe depression, and severe
allergies. I went to three specialists, some of the top in New York. I ended up with three
diagnoses and seven prescription medications. And I had two shocks. One of them is, my God,
I have to take seven prescription medications in order to be able to function for the rest of my
life. This is what medicine was telling me. And the other shock was, this is what I'm doing with
my patients.
Yeah.
So I took off.
Yeah, because you care
about your patients.
I took off.
That's the whole point.
You always did.
I went to India
to live in a monastery
where I learned a little bit
about herbal medicine,
Ayurvedic medicine,
and I started getting better.
You know,
it was vegetarian food.
No processed foods.
Yeah.
The thing is,
cooked with love.
You guys hear about
processed foods all the time,
I bet,
all that,
and we take it for granted.
We think that information
has always been out there.
It was never out there.
It was never really out there.
Doctors that talk about stay away from processed foods now, it kind of stems from basically
sources like Dr. Alejandro Younger.
That's what's interesting.
I mean, I've been talking about no processed foods for a long time.
You've been talking about no processed foods for a long time.
I don't even call them foods.
Yeah.
I call them food-like products.
Yeah, food-like products.
But we take that for everybody, including on YouTube and other places that they're influencing
and stuff.
They automatically, if they hear processed foods or they hear anything like that, it's
a no-brainer.
Stay away from them.
It wasn't a no-brainer.
years ago it's men like dr alexander younger that had a fight for it because when you know when when
you had to pave a way it's frontiering and i had to pave the way in frontier i mean that the smack
i got for trying to get people gluten-free 35 years ago was unbelievable on untold agony i had
to deal with with that getting people gluten-free in our first conversation getting them off a week
35 years ago you started talking to me about the things that i was just learning and you have been
practicing for 20 years. That's what really caught my attention about you.
Yeah, but still as a doctor though, this is new ground. As a medical
doctor you said, you know what, and this is early on for medical doctors with no
processed food and none of those bad foods and all that.
I teach my patients the longer the life shelf of any product that you buy, the
shorter your life. Yeah, I mean and then you know, look, and then you know, you hear
about doctors out there and they they just they graduated a few years ago they're in gastroenterology
they're in something else they're doing something and they don't like all the natural information
that's being spread out there about the medical medium and other stuff they don't like it because
they they haven't had the experience of being like there's there isn't answers out there there just
isn't answers there is what there is with a lot of procedures there is with a lot of medicine
A good heart doctor, priceless.
All this.
But when it comes down to broken bones and all kinds of injuries, you get into this, you get into...
There's all kinds of things.
But when it comes down to what people are doing...
Chronic diseases.
Crohn's, colitis, IBS, gut, gastrointestinal disorders that are not fixable by just cut and snip or a medication.
That's when we get in trouble.
It's all those things.
The chronic diseases of the modern world cannot be treated like the acute diseases.
Surgery and medications are great for the acute diseases.
But humanity's problems are only 10% are acute.
90% of the problems you're suffering from are the chronic problems in which you got to go back to where the root cause of the problem is.
And for most of them, it's in the gut.
Yeah, exactly.
And I wanted to ask you something.
Or heavy metals or bugs.
Yeah, and we're going to talk about heavy metals, how to get them out a little bit, and all that, too.
We'll go into that a little bit.
But I wanted to ask you about the science and research part that's really interesting.
It's all interesting, but the part where science thinks it has it right for a little while, and then it changes its tune.
A few years later, it changes its tune, and then it's not.
So people that are gravitating to studies here, and then the studies here, but they keep on changing.
So no matter what scientific study you got, even in heart procedures, heart surgeries, they were different back then.
They would cut the whole chest wide open.
They would snip all the ribs right down here.
I mean, they would cut them open and spread your whole rib cage out.
Now they're doing valve replacements up and under.
Some of them still have them.
Some of them still have them.
But, for example, look at what happened with the war on food in America.
When I came to America in the 90s, early 90s, there was a war on fat.
Everything was fat-free in the supermarkets.
So they had to replace the calories with carbohydrates.
Or bad carbohydrates.
A few years later.
They made mistakes with that whole thing.
A few years later, carbohydrates became the enemy.
And so we waged a war on carbohydrates.
And then now we're in a honeymoon with fat.
But then it changes.
And then it changes again.
And it's going to change again.
And so many studies that show definite results for certain approaches that modern medicine takes a few years later or 10 years later are shown to be wrong.
Yeah, because you're telling me, but they could find something they're looking for and stay with that, but then the rest falls apart.
A researcher will actually end up finding what they're looking for, but they only look for what they already know.
They don't know what they're looking for.
It's like, okay, so celery juice helping out a lot.
You've seen celery juice help out a lot of people.
I saw you prescribe it to patients in front of me that improved later by taking celery juice.
But science and research, they don't know anything about celery juice because they don't even know what they're looking for yet.
They don't look for it.
So people will be out there, oh, it's got this vitamin in it.
It's got this mineral.
It's got a little bit of this in it.
But that's not why people are getting better because all the fruits and vegetables and other foods and even animal products have vitamins and minerals in it.
And listen, this gets people better.
The thing is this, you cannot argue with success.
And you see the results all over the world in how many thousands, hundreds of thousands of people that are because of you taking celery juice, right?
Yeah.
So now celery juice, does it need a study?
Well, maybe yes.
But what are the downsides of taking celery juice?
There's a downside in taking medications.
There's a risk.
But there's no risk in taking celery juice.
So why not try it?
Exactly.
Why not try it?
And the thing is, I always find the organic studies.
Organic studies are lots of people drinking celery juice.
Their skin is clearing up.
Their eczema psoriasis is clearing up.
Their brain fog is going away.
Their anxiety is dropping down.
Their bloating goes down.
Their digestive system gets strong.
You cannot argue with success.
All these things are happening.
neurological disorders are reversing.
Celery juice when you're drinking it right
at the right dosages and you're doing all that.
All this stuff's happening
and that's the study.
See, that's the study that's not paid for.
That's what I love about that.
That's the study that's not paid for.
That's the organic study that shows truth.
And who's going to waste money
for research in celery juice?
No, because there's no money to be made.
Maybe the celery juice industry.
You know what it is?
Celery juice is an eyesore.
It's selling out.
I don't know where to work.
Celery juice is an eyesore because basically what it does, it hurts the pockets of the industries.
You can't bankroll off of it.
You can't make like billions of dollars off of it.
Unless you're planting celery in celery.
Well, yeah.
But they get like one penny.
One penny.
I talked to a couple celery farmers because they contacted me.
And they said, listen, there's no money in this.
You're making us do all this work.
We have to feed the cell.
We have to get all the natural organic fertilizer.
We've got to get all these things.
And we have the equipment.
You're making us, that's what a farmer said to me.
You're making us lease 20 more tractors.
And we're not making any money off of it.
I'm sure somebody's making money.
We're making two cents.
I think it's the middleman.
I think it's not the farmers.
I think it's the people that are delivering it to probably the supermarket.
Somebody's making money.
It's funny because I remember...
And by the way, it's fine for somebody to make money on something that's good.
That's a reward from the universe.
You know, I mean, people always say, hey, what's your history?
Where do you come from a little bit?
Like with me and stuff.
I don't talk about myself ever.
It's always about people.
It's about people making sure they get the right things.
But spending a lifetime in Maine in that state,
and then the fishermen out there with the lobstering and all that stuff.
And I got that history in my family and everything, my family line.
And what happens is that you don't make the money catching the lobster or the fish.
The guy that takes it to wherever he takes it next to, he picks it up,
and he takes it somewhere.
He's the guy making money.
So I think in the celery world, it's probably some other place.
It's the same thing.
You're making the money actually transporting it,
and then the supermarket probably makes some money too.
The farmers, they're not making money.
I've had farmers tell me, we're killing ourselves to keep up with the celery juice.
But they know it's healing people because they're drinking it too.
Farmers are like, I'm going to drink this.
And it's healing people and everything.
And that's the results.
The results are with that.
It's about the organic study and that organic study.
I mean, you have to remember that.
So if you're doing something that's helping you in your life, that's where it counts.
That's where it counts.
I remember visiting a doctor friend of mine years and years ago.
He said, well, come to my office.
We'll have lunch, right?
It's a long time ago.
I think it was like the mid-90s or early 90s.
He said, come to my office.
We'll have some lunch.
You just got to wait for a little while.
I have to finish up with a couple of patients.
So I was waiting around out there, and he had a television inside his waiting room area.
He had a television there, and it was saying garlic was bad for you.
Bad for you.
Meanwhile, there was a report on mainstream media.
I think a couple of years before that, in like 1989, 1990, that garlic was good for you.
And then, but garlic's bad for you.
So something was found out in science that garlic's bad for you.
And then garlic became good for you again.
And now it then became bad for you.
It's just, this is, is it on purpose?
Why is this done?
You know what I mean?
Like, I mean, you know better than I as a physician.
You know better, I mean, you're an expert cardiologist.
You're an expert doctor.
you know why why is it like that because because first of all first of all there's in there's
economic interest in many of the studies but also there's there's mistakes there's the way that you
design a study and then the way that you interpret a study will have a huge difference between you
know one result or or another okay so so you know research it's very important but you got to be
careful when when you interpret it yeah so that's that's what happens you know it's incredible i
mean it i know there's a lot of people and they stand behind science and research but i i think
that i noticed that when they haven't seen 20 doctors and they haven't seen five neurologists
and they haven't seen all these other people right and they haven't been through what's all
you guys have been through because i mean you know dr younger i mean the people in the audience here
I mean, they got the aches and pains.
They get the Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and now they get the fatigue.
Then they get the Lyme diagnosis.
Then they get something else, and they've been doctored out.
They've been doctored out, you know?
And it's like, but the people I noticed, they haven't gotten sick yet.
But just by chance, by chance in a lot of ways,
it just weren't, their toxins didn't overflow yet,
or something didn't go wrong yet, and by chance,
or they didn't pick up a new pathogen or a new bug or something
or an old bug in their system didn't flourish and take over.
Something made it so they're just still okay enough.
They'll get sick later, but they're still okay enough.
Those are the people I notice that are like,
oh, hogwash, rubbish, hogwash on this, hogwash on that.
They're not critics.
They become haters instead because they believe so strongly
that science has figured everything out,
everything out, everything.
This the body is the house we've been given right, but it's not that we bought it
We're renting it and and it's not until people get the eviction notice right the diagnosis
That they start looking for different solutions, right?
So yeah, I know I know the people that are watching because I deal with them and I've helped many of them
Reach restore their natural ability to heal themselves by detoxifying by choosing the right foods
by using Ayurvedic medicine principles, functional medicine principles,
intermittent fasting, mixing all these things to really help remove the
obstacles and provide whatever is lacking so that the body can heal itself.
You know, Dr. Younger is a really humble guy. You know, it's the funniest thing
because, you know, I look to him to keep... I try to check myself in a little bit
in the sense where, you know, he says, you've got to be humble and he tells me
You've got to be humble.
You've got to.
He knows I get upset about things.
I get passionate about things.
And he's always like, look, you've got to check that out the door a little bit.
And you've got to stay compassionate.
You've got to stay humble.
You're always reminding me.
I don't think I have to remind you to stay compassionate.
I think you are kind of the embodiment of compassion yourself.
But what I am saying is that we cannot forget that there is a space for science, right?
And there is a huge space also for what science doesn't know.
And we have to take the best out of everything.
Yeah, sure.
We cannot deny one way or another.
Exactly.
And that I love because there's things that science that offers is amazing.
I talk about that all the time.
I talk about it in my books.
You talk about it in your books.
And, you know, it's a powerful nugget.
Science does have so much to offer.
But compassionate doctors like Dr. Younger,
they know you guys have suffered and struggled.
You know, that's the whole thing, that you guys have really been through a lot.
That's what counts because that's the only way we're ever going to move forward.
That's the only way we're ever going to move forward.
If professionals that have the degrees like you do and have the training that you do
and then the experience and the expertise know that you guys are really struggling
and that all the answers aren't out there and that our body's the temple,
we've got to get the foods, we've got to get the right things, we've got to get the herbs,
we've got all these things, it all matters.
And that's what's incredible.
I want to talk about the metals because the metals are such in the way.
They're such a toxic element that's in the way of people's healings.
And I want to talk about that a little bit about how to get them out.
Before we tell them how to take them out, tell them how they get in.
Yeah.
Right?
Well, what's your perception of having?
What's your opinion and everything?
We use them in so many things.
I mean, do you remember or read about Matt Hatter's disease?
They used to use mercury in shaping hats.
So then you put the hat on and you absorb mercury into your system.
Yeah, and here's the thing about this.
They put it on cosmetics.
Okay, the Mad Hatter's disease.
I want to talk about that a little bit.
You guys don't wear a hat laced in mercury.
You don't, but your forefathers did.
And it's passed on through utero, through sperm and egg.
It's passed on.
That's how it's done.
Mercury gets passed on down the line every generation until you get it out.
So yeah, yeah, yeah, someone wore a hat back in 1920 with mercury in the lake, you'll know.
But it's in us.
Even if you don't get it from your ancestors, you will get it from your environment.
The furniture that we buy is treated with heavy metal, with lead.
Lacquer.
Lacquer's got metals in it.
Until recently, lipstick had mercury in it, right?
Yeah, and lead.
And so the cosmetics we use, the air we breathe, the water we drink and shower with.
But mostly the foods that we eat are loaded with chemicals that alone or in combination will cause some kind of chronic problem.
Exactly.
And heavy metals are a big part of it.
And the thing is this.
If you don't help the body get rid of the heavy metals, it won't catch up with it.
So that's why I love that you came up with the heavy metals.
Yeah, the medical heavy metal detox smoothie.
The ingredients here, I used to recommend them separately.
But what better than get them all together?
Yeah, you get them all together.
You guys know about the heavy metal detox smoothie and medical medium.
It's the, you got the cilantro.
You need that.
You got the barley grass juice powder.
You need that.
You got the spirulina.
You need that.
The wild blueberries.
You go get your frozen wild blueberries.
It's critical because people be like, well, how do I get the metals out?
How do I get them out?
Frozen wild blueberries, not the regular blueberries.
They can't pull them out, but the frozen wild ones do.
The wild, see, wild food has different things going on, especially those blueberries.
So you got that.
So you get the wild blueberries, you got the cilantro, you got the barley grass, and then the dulse.
Exactly.
The dulse, the seaweed.
You need the dulse in there.
And then you blend it up with bananas if you want.
You blend it up with a nut.
You can check out the medical meat recipes if you want.
But you can blend them up with the bananas, another fruit you can pick.
You can pick some papaya in here if you really want to or some other kind of fruit you want to do.
I like me.
I'm kind of easy.
It's like bananas and the frozen wild blueberries and get the other things in.
The thing that I teach my patients is to eat all the different colors in the right one, right?
This I learned from a colleague of mine.
Because you're going to get something good in you that way no matter what.
It's what's going to happen.
The bigger the variability of colors in your diet, the bigger the variability of your gut flora,
which is now known to be a really important part of your bodily system.
Oh, absolutely.
Especially for detoxification.
Yeah.
The good intestinal flora will detoxify half of the toxins that you're exposed to if it's a healthy biome.
Yeah, and it gets beaten down by the toxins too.
So it gets beaten down, and that's a whole other thing.
We get inflamed.
The thing is with the gut is you've got the pathogens in there.
You've got the streptococcus, which will end up giving you a SIBO diagnosis.
You've got bacteria in there that's hiding behind rancid proteins that are up on the linings of the intestinal tract.
You know, you've got those things, and you end up feeding it with gluten,
and you end up feeding it with eggs.
You've got to be careful.
You guys don't do eggs.
You do chicken eggs, you'll feed everything.
You know, I always tell everybody,
all the bugs were raised in labs a long time ago,
and eggs were used as the food.
Eggs are a food for these bugs.
They have eggs to feed the food, feed the bugs.
So what is it that the bugs love eggs now?
They love the eggs.
They love the eggs.
We've trained them.
We've scrambled eggs.
Yeah, and people,
if you don't have a lot of bugs in you in the moment,
When you're young, you feel indestructible.
Sure.
Hey, just say you're doing eggs.
It might be okay.
But you get older and you get older and things hit.
And you just have to get into your 30s and you start getting more problems and you start
getting acne and you start getting, you know, it's so the metals are one thing, the bugs.
We eat the bad foods.
We got to know what foods to stay away from.
You're an expert at what foods to stay away from.
You've been teaching that all these years.
I mean, it's incredible.
I can't believe I have Dr. Alejandra Younger here for people that just came on.
We're live right now.
And that's how we like to do it.
We like to do it live.
I don't like to edit things.
I like it live.
You know, and hey, if I make a mistake, I make a mistake.
If I, you know, if I fall off my chair, I fall off my chair.
I'm just glad we're here.
This is incredible.
And I just want to talk about his books for a quick second.
And he did a book called Clean Gut.
You guys can always check that out.
Incredible book.
Clean, the original.
That's the original book right there.
That's when you were like, you know what?
I'm going to just, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to get the word out to the world right there.
The thing is that I was discovering that when you support the detoxification systems that we already have and are trying to do their work, but they can't because our foods are devoid of nutrients and because our digestive systems are working all the time, therefore stealing energy from the detoxification systems.
Then when you create the conditions and you support the liver and the other organs to do the work of detoxification, it was just incredible what people were getting better off from.
right and I got still called because the book is not in as many languages as yours but it's in the
20 something languages no it's in a lot of and I get and I get messages from all over the world
10 years later telling me I did the 21 day program and I got better from this and that and I still
surprised to to hear about how many different chronic problems people get better from right
yeah no that's that's that one that's that book and then and then my new one yeah that's the new
one coming out the new one coming out gotta look out for that one too he's he's incredible applying
applying principles from functional medicine ayurvedic medicine and intermittent fasting
you know and there's something else i want to tell you guys too is is that uh
dr alohony younger he wrote the forward to the first medical medium book so i was honored when
he did this this was a big deal for me it meant all the world to me it would it because and he's
a famous doctor he's a famous cardiologist and you know and he said you know what i'm gonna do
the forward for your book well and he was that that really helped me it really really helped me
because it helped me get the information out to you guys and helped me get the information out
to the world because anthony anthony called me one day and said hey listen i know that you have a lot
to risk you're a medical doctor maybe you shouldn't be talking about these things but i wrote a book
and i want to see if you would be willing to write because i talked about the causes of this
I said, well, let me check it out.
Because I didn't want to write a foreword for anything.
Just because I liked you as a person.
No, no, no.
You would never do that.
I read the book and I was blown away.
And that's why I wrote a...
And by the way, people call me from all over the world because of that foreword.
And many times, even royalty from Europe called me to see if they can get hold of you.
Well, you know, it's an honor.
And when you did that forward, you know, and I couldn't thank you enough because I talk about controversial things in that book.
And, you know, we talk about controversial things.
And that's what it is about mystery illness, about chronic illness, about why you're sick, about why you have the symptoms.
And by the way, he's a gentleman.
And he returned the favor.
Well, not the favor.
I gave him the book and I said, I only want you to write a foreword if you really like it.
And he did write a foreword.
Yeah, he did.
He did.
So I did a full word for Dr. Younger.
Thank you.
No, I'm honored.
And so I just want to tell you guys that there is hope for healing.
I mean, that's what it's about.
That's what we're doing here.
You know, you got to pull the metals out, get your gut better.
We talk about that.
But it's an honor having you here, man.
I don't even know what to say.
And I really appreciate it.
And I really feel like this is going to help a lot of people because they're hearing about the gut.
They're hearing about their body being this temple.
And we rent it.
We rent out this body.
We can get an eviction notice if we're not, you know, that's how I see a diagnosis is an eviction notice.
And that's the only time when people get serious and start making changes, right?
It's true.
But the problem is this.
We know now that the chronic diseases that we're suffering from all over the world start years before in a silent mode.
And they start by turning on the inflammatory system, by the way, which 80% is around the gut, within and around the gut.
So your inflammation can be turned on for 15 years before the real disease is diagnosed, right?
Absolutely.
So don't wait for symptoms.
And even if they're minor symptoms, don't wait for them to get worse or other symptoms to appear or chronic diseases to be diagnosed.
Start now.
Yeah.
Amazing, powerful, powerful.
Exactly.
It's what happens with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
It started out with Epstein-Barr in your system, and it percolated in there, proliferated over the years.
And all of a sudden, now you're 32, you're 35, you're 42.
You get your hypothyroid diagnosis.
The doctor's worried about your thyroid.
And that's because you had the viral infection, the Epstein-Barr, deep down in there in your system a long time ago.
And if we just know that, we can really avoid things.
And of course, if we get a problem, we can work on healing it, reversing it.
Make sure you drink your celery juice.
Make sure you do all the good stuff we're talking about.
And remember, your body has the ability to heal itself.
I love that.
That gets me kind of choked up right now.
Well, that's how nature designed.
Nature did not design diseases, right?
Diseases, what we know as diseases, are just adaptation and survival mechanisms that your
body put on in order to defend itself and survive, right? And they've been there for too long.
For example, heart disease, which affects everybody. What is it? It's the blockage of
arteries, right, by cholesterol. But at the beginning, it starts because there's a little
fissure in the artery and the body patches it up with cholesterol. Now, if the fissure is healed
and, you know, the smoking and the bad fats and the stress and the high blood pressure
are taken away from the picture,
the body will reabsorb that plaque of cholesterol
and then everything will be fine.
But because the irritating factors,
the toxins, the heavy metals, the stress,
keep on there,
the body keeps on patching, keeps on patching,
keeps on patching.
As a survival mechanism,
eventually the patching will block the flow of blood.
And that's when heart disease is diagnosed, right?
So, disease are survival mechanisms
And if you get to understand how to remove the obstacles, bugs, heavy metals, stress, bad thoughts, bad company, you remove the obstacle and you add what is lacking, which is usually a nutrient, good nutrients.
Yeah, exactly.
Then everything resolves by itself and the body is able to regain its ability, its natural ability to heal itself.
You know, and remember, and that's coming from, you know, an expert cardiologist right here.
An expert cardiologist right here means a powerful piece of information.
And it's just, it's, you know, to have that right here is amazing.
You know, just remember, it's like exactly what Dr. Young is saying is your body can heal.
There's so many of you that have been sick for a long time and you forget what it's like to feel good.
And some of you have never felt good.
And it breaks my heart.
You never had that moment in your life where you felt good.
and because you started out sick.
You started out with symptoms.
Or it's rare times you remember you felt good.
And don't get lost in that.
I know it's easy for me to say,
and when you're going through it, it's hard.
It's hard.
But to hear it from me, it's probably easy for me to say,
hey, just hang in there.
But no, it's more than that.
Know that I care.
And I really want you to hang in there
because I want you to know that you can heal and you will.
It's just you're going to learn from the medical medium series books.
You learn from Dr. Younger's books.
You just learn.
And we're going to make sure we help you in any way we can.
I mean, I would go even further.
And it's this.
I see the planet as a living organism, as an animal, as it were.
Right?
And the rivers are like the arteries.
And the forests are like the lungs.
And the cells that are running around, right, are you and me.
So people are the cells of this organism, right?
And if you look at this organism, the planet, it has a fever.
Global warming is not anything else but a symptom.
So where is this symptom coming from?
And in my opinion, the majority of the problem is the toxicity of our planet.
The toxicity, not only the toxins, the air we breathe, the water we drink and shower,
the cosmetics we use, the medications we take, right?
But most of the foods that we eat are loaded with toxic chemicals.
You know, I didn't have to worry about you coming here with cologne on.
Because cologne, it's just so strong.
You know, when people wear cologne, I say stay away from it.
It's toxic.
And some people don't like the smell.
I don't think too many people like the smell of cologne.
I didn't even have to say anything.
Because you're not going to come here doused with cologne.
You're not going to come here doused with all that.
And because it's toxic.
And so it's an example.
You know, you're aware of it.
What I was going at is that when healing ourselves,
we're actually healing the planet.
Because as above, so below.
Everything goes together.
The more we learn how to create the conditions for our bodies to heal,
the more we're healing the planet.
You know, it's incredible, and it's true.
I mean, there's a tremendous amount of toxicity here.
It's falling out of the sky.
I talk about it all the time.
We breathe it in.
where it's any we can't we can't hide from it we can't run from it we can protect ourselves the
best we can but we got to do it with the foods we got to protect ourselves the way we're doing it
