How many people do you know who struggle with their health?
Chances are, whether they show it or not, most of the people in your life do.
And chances are, you're one of them.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, endometriosis, acne, eczema, autoimmune, thyroid, lyme, brain fog, fatigue, or any other symptom or condition,
You're far from alone.
Living with symptoms has become the new normal.
So no more guessing games.
It's time to get answers.
Welcome to the Medical Medium Podcast.
I'm Anthony Williams.
Today we're talking about black tongue.
So many people develop it.
So many people live with it.
Doctors have no answers.
No one understands it.
It's a complete mystery.
but yet we have to deal with it every day.
People wake up in the morning and they see it.
It doesn't scrub off.
It doesn't wash off.
There's no answer for it.
And it's totally perplexing.
Waking up.
Huh?
What's on my tongue?
Why does it look like that?
I've heard it over and over again from people for years what is going on I have a black tongue
I've seen people look for my help throughout the years because they have a black tongue
I've seen people develop a black tongue everywhere anyhow anyway it just happens
Sometimes it can be dark brown.
Sometimes it can start out dark gray.
Sometimes it can be just jet black.
Sometimes just partially on the tongue in the middle.
Sometimes the entire tongue is just black, a streak.
Is there an answer out there?
Is it called something?
No, it's not.
It's just totally ignored by the industries,
both conventional and alternative.
It's a complete and total mystery to any practitioner, to any doctor, to any health authority.
Thank you, doctor, for seeing me.
Yeah, it's right there.
You see, I'm sticking my tongue out and it's got a black spot on there.
It grew and it's much bigger.
I haven't had anybody help me.
Okay, okay.
Yep.
See here, this is interesting.
Hmm. Let me look here. Tongue depressor. Hmm. I haven't seen that before. You sure you haven't
been eating any candy? Many people are asked this question. What have you been sucking on?
are you using any lozenges are you eating any candies are you a smoker how much coffee do you
drink the first thing that comes to every practitioner's mind every doctor's mind is
what's staining your tongue and then the patient is always like well um i thought about that too
um i haven't been eating anything weird i haven't been sucking on anything i haven't been
taking anything. I don't know what's causing this. I've tried to scrub it off. I've rinsed my mouth
with water. I've gone a whole day without eating. I don't know why this is here. So when that's all
settled, where the practitioner or the doctor believes it and the patient explain themselves,
then it's on to the next question. How long have you had this? Have you ever had it before?
Let's do some blood work.
Let's do a urine test.
Let's see if we can find something.
Nowadays, almost every doctor believes that all your problems reside in your gut.
That every symptom or condition stems from your gut.
So they prescribe a whole bunch of different microbiome products.
Pills, powders, liquids, everything under the sun.
and they send a battery of this down the gut
trying to fix your black tongue or tongue discoloration.
Especially probiotics, it's the first go-to.
Anyone with any kind of tongue discoloration,
anybody with a black tongue goes to an alternative doctor,
they're going to get probiotics, a whole barrage of them.
Days later, after taking the supplements and the probiotics and the gut powders,
Weeks later, after taking everything, the problem's still there.
Could even be worse.
It's territory of guessing games.
It's the open plains.
This is where there's no answer.
They're just throwing darts at the side of a barn.
They're hoping something sticks.
They're hoping they can just get a little bit of relief for the patient or the client.
But the reality is, if the black tongue is going to start to dissipate, it's going to
dissipate anyway.
If the black tongue is going to get worse, it's going to get worse anyway.
It's going to do what it's going to do, and there's a reason for it.
And then the eating guessing game starts.
What to eat, what not to eat.
Is a food causing it or multiple foods causing it?
Do I need allergy testing?
Do I need to do food allergy scans?
Do I need an IgG profile?
Black tongue or tongue discoloration can be so disturbing for some people,
they will scrub their tongue to death. They'll purchase different tongue tools. They'll scrub
it with a scrubber. They'll scrub it with a toothbrush. They will rip it to shreds. I've
seen people out there practically destroy their tongue because of this. They take some kind of
brush or a hard bristle brush and they're scrubbing it so hard thinking it's fixing it
and now they just instead have an inflamed, irritated, injured tongue on top of the discoloration.
Some people even scrub their mouth with soap.
They scrub their tongue with soap.
They take soap and they put it on the black spot on their tongue
and they rub it on there and rub it on there
and then swish around water and spit it out.
But it doesn't work.
It never does and it never fixes it.
Anyone experiencing this has to learn to live with it.
It doesn't go away unless it goes away on its own.
It'll come and go.
someone might see it go away for years and then appear, show up again. Someone might see it come
and go for weeks, months, and then stay permanently. Now this can happen with a lot of different tongue
discolorations, but right now we're mainly focused on when it gets dark gray or even black. Every
single human being on planet earth has toxic heavy metals inside of them. Everybody has metals
in their brain. Everybody has metals in their liver, their spleen, their pancreas, their intestinal
tract lining, their bones, their eyeballs. They have them everywhere. Some people have more toxic
heavy metals. Some people have less toxic heavy metals. Do you see where I'm going here? Toxic
heavy metals. Yes. Toxic heavy metals are behind the tongue discoloration when it's dark gray or
black. But that doesn't determine everything. That doesn't determine if someone's going to get a
black tongue or not. Someone could have more toxic heavy metals than someone else and not get a black
tongue. Someone can have less toxic heavy metals but get the darkest blackest tongue. If someone
has a black tongue or a dark gray tongue and there's no reason behind it, there's nothing that
stained it. It just appeared. Then they're dealing with a toxic heavy metal problem.
A big part of black tongue is what is the metal doing? What is the toxic heavy metal actually
doing? What is the mercury doing? What is other toxic heavy metals doing? What's happening inside
the body? There's different situations, different things happening in someone's body to create a
dark gray or black tongue. So let's cover some of the different scenarios of why people get a
discolored black tongue or gray tongue. First scenario, someone who doesn't change their diet.
They don't change anything at all. They've been living like they've been living all their life,
doing all the same stuff, eating and drinking all the same things, not trying to improve their
health. They're not trying to do anything for their health at all. They don't care about natural
health. They just want to live their life, eat what they want, and they develop a black tongue.
This is overflow. This is when the body is finally at its tipping point. Toxic heavy metals that have
oxidized over the years that have been hidden away deep in pockets inside the liver and other places
in the body decide to spill over. What this is, is a spill. You may be asking yourself right now,
what's a spill? What is that? It's a medical medium term. It's when tissue in the body or an organ
decides to dump its storage because there was a massive overflow occurring because the storage
banks were filled, the pocket expanded, the tissue expanded, and then it all broke free
and became a spill.
And being that the person was already toxic and they're not taking care of themselves
and their liver's congested, their lymphatic system's congested, their bloodstream is thick
and dehydrated, it's got nowhere to go.
So it ends up coming up.
It can come up the bile duct.
It can come out of the gallbladder.
It can go up the duodenum, up the stomach, up the esophagus.
It can go up the lymphatic system vessels into the neck area, the throat area.
It can harbor itself in different pockets of the bloodstream where it actually eddies and pulls.
And it can find its way to the tongue.
Now in this situation, this doesn't mean the person is detoxing or detoxing toxic heavy metals.
That's not what this is.
This is a spill of oxidative runoff.
So what happened in the body, there were pockets of toxic heavy metals in tissue and in organs
that oxidized rapidly and built up and built up and couldn't be held back anymore by the
tissue and the organs.
And finally, it just exploded out, pussed out, and overflowed.
It was a spill.
Now over time, if this person in this scenario does nothing,
nothing at all for their health, they just live with it.
They go to the doctor, doctor doesn't know why it's happening,
and they just live with it until it dissipates.
It can go away until another toxic waste area in the tissue or the organs do another spill.
Now another scenario of a person going through a black tongue or gray tongue
is they actually never had a black tongue or gray tongue,
but they start to take care of themselves.
They clean up their diet.
They eat better.
They're exercising.
They're hydrating more.
They're avoiding greasy fried food.
And then one day they wake up and they got a dark tongue.
Now the reason for this, it's a self-induced spill.
Pockets inside the liver,
pockets inside tissue throughout the body,
built up throughout the years,
and then a self-induction occurred.
You're exercising, you're hydrating more,
you're eating better,
and you opened up the floodgates a little bit.
The body was allowed to release
a little bit of the oxidation.
Now in both these scenarios,
the first scenario and then the second scenario,
it doesn't mean toxic heavy metals are detoxing
or leaving the body.
This is oxidation caused by the body
and the toxic heavy metals reactions that are occurring.
Pockets of oxidation are being released, but at the same time, the toxic heavy metals are left behind in the same spot in the tissue and the organs.
In this third scenario, we're going to talk about being sick, chronically ill, having viral inflammation, pathogens, autoimmune.
This is when a person has an Epstein-Barr virus, or shingles, or herpes simplex 1 or 2, or a combination of them all, plus more.
and the viruses are actually feeding off of the metals, preferably mercury.
And as the pathogens, the viruses, Epstein-Barr, are eating the mercury,
wherever that may be, whether it's in the liver or somewhere else in the body,
the viruses then release an oxidative runoff.
It's one of the reasons the person is sick to begin with.
They're virally sick.
So if the Epstein-Barr is doing this, the toxic runoff, the neurotoxins start to create problems with the nervous system, giving them anything from panic attacks to fatigue to tingles and numbness, tremors, shakes, tics, spasms, migraines, and so much more.
But a person can just get one symptom too.
They can just have fatigue all on its own or brain fog.
and if this person has such a high viral load or a low-grade viral infection either or the
combination of both the viruses and the toxic heavy metals or just mercury by itself and the
viruses creates the oxidative runoff the byproduct and that byproduct builds up and builds up and
builds up so if the person's really sick and they are fighting a virus and they're loaded with
mercury and other toxic heavy metals, they're going to get a lot more oxidation and they can
end up with a dark gray tongue or a black tongue. And in this scenario with the black tongue and the
viruses and the metals, it still doesn't mean the person's detoxing toxic heavy metals. It doesn't
mean they're actually detoxing the metals out of their body, even if they have the dark gray or
black tongue. Now the fourth scenario is when someone's taking really good care of themselves.
They found an eating program that's really clean.
They've lowered their fats.
They may have even eliminated their fats for a short period of time.
Or they kept their overt fats out of their diet completely for months or even a longer period of time than that.
Or they still have overt fats in there, but they're juicing.
They're doing a little bit of cleansing.
They're keeping the garbage out.
They're watching things on labels,
making sure they're not eating a lot of MSG.
They're keeping the chocolate back.
They're not drinking coffee.
They're staying away from eggs.
They're staying away from dairy.
They're keeping the gluten away.
They're not eating a lot of toxic grains.
They're eating more leafy greens.
They're drinking their lemon water in the morning.
And they're doing all of this because they're sick
or they have symptoms and they've struggled.
and then they develop a dark gray spot on their tongue or a black tongue.
As they're taking care of themselves, they're doing a little bit of cleansing,
a little bit of detoxing, and all the oxidation that was stored up in their tissues,
in their liver, different organs, started to come out.
Oxidation from toxic heavy metals, oxidation from viruses eating toxic heavy metals,
it was stored up and now it's leaving.
but this still doesn't mean they're detoxing toxic heavy metals out of their body still doesn't mean
they're ridding toxic metals out of their body those toxic metals stay there they're just ridding
some of the oxidation and because they're eating so clean and they're taking care of themselves
the oxidation will show up on the tongue but some of it will also leave the body what's good about
this is even though they're not getting rid of the toxic heavy metals, they're getting rid of a lot
of the oxidation that's been built up all the years. Keep in mind on this scenario that other
things in the body could be healing. The nervous system could be getting stronger. There's different
symptoms that go away. You're moving forward, you're healing, but you still got a black tongue.
And that black tongue can come and go. It could be there one month and disappear and then show up
another time. So let's go to scenario number five. Someone's taking really good care of themselves.
They found a great way to do it. They're doing their celery juice every single morning.
They're lemon water. They're carefully eating. They're keeping out the dairy. They're keeping
out the toxic MSG. They're keeping out the chocolate, the coffee, the high-fat diet.
They're keeping out all the different garbage and junk. They're not cheating. They're keeping
fried foods away. They're doing an antiviral protocol. They're doing a 28-day cleanse. They're
doing some 369s. They're doing a heavy metal detox cleanse. They're doing the heavy metal detox
smoothies. They're doing the medical medium stuff. And they get a black tongue or they get a dark
gray tongue. In this scenario, they're not just getting rid of oxidation. They're not just getting
rid of oxidation that was caused by viruses that made them sick and toxic heavy metals and viruses
eating the toxic heavy metals. They're getting rid of more. They're getting rid of oxidation,
but they're getting rid of their toxic heavy metals as well. If none of these situations
or scenarios describe your black tongue or your gray tongue, just know there are a lot of nuances.
there are dozens and dozens of different situations and scenarios that determine
whether somebody's going to have their dark gray or black tongue.
One person can have a larger viral load.
Another person can have more mercury versus another toxic heavy metal.
And another person could be eating really well for a little while and then they don't.
And another person, the toxic heavy metals can be stored in a different area in the body.
Some toxic heavy metals and viral loads can be inside the thyroid more.
Some can be in the lymphatic system.
Some can be in the liver, the spleen, the pancreas.
Some can be in the bones.
And that determines whether somebody's going to have a black tongue or not too.
Someone can have different viruses.
Another person can have different metals, different combinations, different alloys.
It all matters.
and someone could be sick for years and do the right thing and never see a black tongue and they
still could be releasing their toxic heavy metals by doing the right thing taking care of themselves
doing a heavy metal detox smoothie the proper one the one that gets the metals out and as it's
happening they may never see the oxidation appear on their tongue all depends on where the viruses
are to and where the metals are stored. What is that? Why is it there? I love my tongue.
How come the doctors don't care? I swallowed the probiotics. It feels at this point robotic.
My mind is confused as I'm chewing my food. All I could think of is why my tongue has become
no fun. I'm just feeling down and I want what's on my tongue to leave town.
Answers are everything when it comes to getting rid of this thing. I someday will
and without worrying about another oxidation spill. I can see it and feel it's going away.
I'm healing deep within. Every morning is a new beginning and a new day.
