Anthony William, The Medical Medium.
One of the things that's really difficult about being sick or getting sick or staying sick is food.
What to eat.
And what's really difficult is eating something, getting sick, and then blaming that food when it may have not been that food.
it may have been something you ate four or five days ago,
maybe six days ago.
Like take gluten for an example.
Somebody has a piece of bread.
It's got gluten in it.
It sits in the intestinal tract.
It sits in the liver.
It causes problems.
And then it feeds bugs.
It'll feed some strep.
and they may break out with some acne a week later
and then blame that piece of spinach,
that piece of kale,
a piece of cilantro,
blames that potato,
blames a tomato,
blames a red bell pepper.
And meanwhile, it was the gluten
that's been sitting in the intestinal tract
feeding the strep for a week. It's really difficult. We can get PTSD about food. We can
get food fear. We can get food OCD. It's really hard when we're sick with a chronic illness and
we've been sick for a long time. And then we go and try to find help and we get food allergy,
testing. And that comes up
where we're allergic to parsley, allergic to cilantro, we're
allergic to this and that. We're allergic to cloves.
We're allergic to star anise. We're allergic to grass. We're allergic to
and the list goes on and on and on.
And that can really confuse people. Next thing you know it, they're doing
something trendy like you're okay with green banana
but you're not okay with a yellow banana.
So next thing you know, somebody's eating green bananas.
But green bananas wreak havoc on the gut.
They cause a lot of gut problems.
Somebody can have a green banana and then two days later
get some cramps, some bloating.
It worsens.
Some intestinal discomfort
and maybe they had an apple
and then they blame the apple.
They don't blame the green banana
two days before
or a day before
but they blame the apple
that day or that hour.
Meanwhile, the apple's going down
and trying to push the green banana out.
So there's just lots of things
when it comes down to eating
but then you can have PTSD develop over apples.
And now you're scared about apples, and then you hear somebody say they're high in sugar.
And then you add that up to it and say, well, whoa, maybe it was the sugar in the apple.
It can go in so many different directions.
This is just one example of what happens.
It can go in a thousand different directions with food.
And then the protein fear, that's a whole nother game.
So when you're sick and you're on mattress island and you're not gaining muscle because you can't exercise like you used to exercise.
You can't lift weights like you used to lift weights.
Or you're not being active enough because you can't be active enough because you're on mattress island and you're struggling.
so then because you can't use muscles because you're dealing with some kind of neurological
problem or some other issue and maybe you can't get physical therapy maybe it's difficult
maybe you're too sick to get the proper physical therapy and so you can't sustain
a muscle profile but what happens is then someone takes a look at you and they're like oh
you're really skinny and it's like yeah because i've been sick a long time all i could do is lay
on the couch i'm struggling i got the worst brain fog the worst anxiety i got the worst depression
i don't feel well everything hurts i can't get into the gym i can't work out i can't take walks
on a trail i can't ride my bicycle i can't swim it's really difficult i only can do a little bit
at a time. And someone's like, well, you must need protein. Maybe that's the problem. What are
you eating? What are you not eating? You need a protein shake. You need a protein bar. You need
lots of meat, lots of chicken. You need lots of fish. And then it gets confusing and you're
thinking, well, I'm not getting enough protein. And then you hear so many people screaming about
protein, next thing you know, you're making decisions upon misinformation that's trending
when really you need glucose, trace mineral salts. You need trace minerals
and you need these nutrients with this glucose to sustain muscles until you can recover,
until you can beat down whatever virus or whatever pathogen or whatever is holding you back.
so you can recover and start building muscle back again and recovering.
All while you're getting fearful of food, not sure what to eat, not sure what to do.
Same thing happens with dairy products.
Somebody can eat dairy and 10 days later get affected by it.
10 days later that dairy is sitting around collecting mucus, creating mucus,
being fed to all kinds of different bugs in the gut,
not supporting the microbiome.
And 10 days later,
all that mucus-forming dairy is still in the way.
It's in your intestine.
It's in your liver.
And then you just start getting some acne.
You're struggling.
Your skin's starting to flare up.
Your eczema.
Your psoriasis.
and you could have had lettuce, spinach, cucumber, tomato, avocado salad.
And you're going to blame that salad possibly.
And you're going to hear something out there, how vegetables are bad or spinach is bad.
Greens are bad. Kale's bad.
You should just be on fruit and meat or something.
And you hear these things, you're like, well, maybe it was that vegetable that did it.
meanwhile it was the dairy that did it 10 days before
that can happen with celiac Crohn's colitis somebody can get a flare-up with their colitis
their gastric spasms their bloating distension they can get a flare-up and it was dairy 12 days ago
that's doing it and then somebody can have sensitive nerves in the intestine
sensitive nerves in their digestive system sensitive vagus nerves so anything they eat
they just feel it so if they have something that feels like it's roughage they have some
vegetables they have some fruit they feel it move like a big egg going through their intestines
and a big egg moving through
or big gas bubbles
and they feel the food moving through.
It feels like it's undigested.
It feels like they're not digesting at all.
Meanwhile, it's sensitive nerves
and inflammation around those nerves.
And so people get so confused.
They're like, I can't eat this or that,
but I can eat oatmeal only now.
I've seen people out there
so many different problems
with food fear and PTSD
they don't even know what to eat
they're off the cuff somewhere
and they're only eating oatmeal
and some weird shake
and that's it
and so many people have come to medical medium
with so many food fears
because they had so many digestive problems
where they can only eat like three blueberries
before medical medium.
And then they can now tank tons of blueberries.
And so many people had to cut out so many foods out there
where literally they had to cut out almost everything.
And they bend down in that dark place
and they came to medical medium information.
They started eating fruit.
They started eating potatoes.
So many people could only eat bread and eggs and butter,
getting sicker and sicker and sicker and so many people could only eat meat
and they're just eating meat only you can call it a carnivore diet and call it what you want
but they can only just eat meat they did that like narrowing everything down to nothing
where they just eliminated everything the process elimination they got so fearful so
confused didn't know what to do what to eat and they just ended up they're just eating meat
two years of eating just meat their skin falls apart their body falls apart they look like they're
30 years older than they should and then they have to now bring in fruit or bring in something
and they have to go back to that everybody's experimenting out there it's so difficult
and they come here and they learn what's really wrong and once you learn what's wrong it's a
different whole different experience you learn what's wrong over time you can heal these problems
and end up eating more and more.
And people on medical medium information,
they end up healing so many symptoms
and eating so many foods they weren't able to eat before.
That's like life-changing,
where now they're just going back
and they're eating anything practically.
And if they're a good person,
they'll acknowledge that and they'll just be like,
yeah, I was not able to eat anything.
before medical medium information.
And now I can.
I can eat anything.
Anything.
And so many have healed
and gone back to eating
everything they ever wanted.
And it's remarkable.
Of course you get a few people out there
that they start out,
they can't eat anything in the past.
They had all this food fear.
They were scared.
They came to medical medium information.
They found out how to heal through the community, through the books, through the information.
They healed.
They moved on.
And then they contributed to something else because they wanted to build up their platform or something and sell something.
They want to become an influencer and they just didn't want to say, yeah, I can only eat three blueberries and a piece of meat before medical meat information.
And some had to overcome their PTSD from not being able to eat a lot of foods without pain or symptoms.
and they started eating.
They started healing.
They learned the information.
They knocked back their bugs.
They knocked the inflammation down.
They recovered their nerves.
Anxiety went down, dropped.
Everything drops.
They're moving forward, able to eat more and more.
And then the PTSD sheds and it just drops
and it goes away and it goes down.
And that is a beautiful thing.
a beautiful, remarkable experience, profound experience.
Truly, truly.
Everybody's at a different point too.
They come here, some people,
they don't really know much of anything about the MM info.
They've tried a lot of things out there and they come here.
And when they dedicate some time and energy,
they start looking into it.
They see the tools.
It's life-saving.
It's truly saving people's lives.
You guys know.
You've seen it.
I've seen it.
It's empowering.
Truly empowering.
Anyway, lots of love you guys.
I hope you get a chance to listen to this.
Take care.
Thank you.
