• Life-Changing Foods Review
  
  Reading Anthony William's books and using the treasure trove of information contained within is the single most impactful thing I have ever done in my life, and for my health and well-being. I have healed illnesses that all the doctors could do is shrug their shoulders and hand me pills, along with the statement, "There's nothing we can really do for you". Doctor after doctor after doctor. I have read every research paper on every illness I had and then some, and every book I could find as well. Anthony William is the only person who has ever given any true answers, and any information that actually helped me to heal the ROOT cause of my illnesses.
  
  Haters wanna hate, but one thing I cannot help but notice in the bad reviews is that no one leaving a bad review has ever done anything recommended in his books. And ALL of the positive reviews and stories of healing come from people who have. You do the math.
  
  That's the short version of my story - this information works because it is true, pure and untampered with. This goes to the ROOT cause of your illness and YOU CAN HEAL. No matter what the doctors and nasayers have told you. Your body loves you, it is NOT attacking itself. This illness is NOT your fault. And YOU CAN HEAL.
  
  Life-Changing Foods is no exception to the amazing information that helps us continue to heal. The information conatined within this book about the foods that heal us, and the ways these foods function, is mind-blowing, groundbreaking information that I guarantee you will not find anywhere else. These foods contain information that not only feeds the body, but feeds the soul as well. These foods have amazing things to teach us when we truly know what they are doing for our health.
  
  Life-Changing Foods is also filled with healing recipes which are delicious suggestions of how to incorporate more of these healing foods into our lives. I haven't tasted one yet that I haven't liked.
  
  If you want the long version of my story, it's below
  
  I have about a page of diagnoses that it took years of searching to get before I finally found Anthony William's first book. I'll list just some of them Fibromyalgia, Mast Cell Activation Disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS/SEID), Hypothyroid, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Migraines, PTSD, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Dysautonomia/POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Sleep Apnea,....there are more diagnoses, but that's enough - you get the picture, right?
  
  I was homebound for almost a year because I was essentially allergic to the world and would react to all kinds of things wherever I went. On top of that, I had so little energy I'd rate it in the negative amounts. I could barely get up of the sofa to use the bathroom, let alone do anything else. I couldn't shower more than once a week (and that took great effort and exhausted me completely). I was unable to prepare food, or do dishes or laundry or keep my house clean. I had homeschooled my son and was unable to do that anymore - the only time I left my house was for doctors' appointments, and I had to always be driven by my husband because I had lost the ability to drive a car. I had less than zero energy, I felt horrible all the time, I was in terrible all over body pain and had crazy brain fog. My list of symptoms kept getting longer and longer. I honestly felt like I was edging ever closer to death by the day.
  
  I ate what I believed to be SO cleanly - all organic, grassfed, free-range meats and eggs, no grains or dairy, no nightshades, autoimmune paleo, low FODMAP. Yet I was getting sicker and sicker and so were many of the people in the communities that ate this way. I felt like if this was the way we were meant to eat, why are we getting sicker and losing more foods? I was developing allergies to so many foods, and losing more of them by the week.
  
  By some miracle, through my haze of brain fog, I managed to read Anthony's first Medical Medium book - I'd actually preordered it at some point and forgotten because of the brain fog, and there it was on my , so I read it. Despite my brain fog, I breezed through his book. I felt like he'd written it directly to me. And everything just resonated - like he was saying, "This isn't your fault, you didn't do this to yourself." I'd waited YEARS to have someone say that to me and mean it.
  
  And reading it - my husband was my caregiver at that time. But he also worked 40 hours a week, took care of our son, made our food, did all of the grocery shopping and other errands, took care of the house and 1.5 acre yard, was getting our house ready to sell - I had zero idea how I was going to do this cleanse, how I could possibly pull it off with no energy to make any food. I couldn't ask him to take on learning a whole new way of preparing foods.
  
  So I gave myself permission to just go slow. I said, "Okay, I'm just going to try and do this one thing. I'm going to try and do this celery juice." My energy was highest (I use that term very loosely) in the morning, so okay, let's see if I can manage to make some celery juice. At the time I only had a Vitamix, no juicer, so I used that and a tiny bit of water to blend the celery, then strained it through a nut milk bag.
  
  And the first day I drank that celery juice, and I felt different. My body started to feel alive, my cells felt like they were alive. I felt a little buzzy, like my blood was alive in my body. Not jittery like I would with coffee, but like electricity running through wires for the first time. I was kind of amazed. I felt like I could maybe get up and do a thing or two - which was in and of itself a miracle.
  
  And still surprisingly, I had enough energy that day to make myself a morning smoothie after the celery juice. And still enough energy at lunch time to prepare a lunch salad. And again at dinner! I had energy that whole entire day, for the first time in years - I managed to do a whole day of the 28 Day cleanse from the first book - and I never thought that would have been possible. It went on like that as I did the cleanse - by Day 3 I began to blog it, because it was a freaking miracle happening to me, I couldn't believe it.
  
  The first two or three days of the cleanse I was still eating meat, because I didn't really know I'd be actually doing the cleanse and my husband was still preparing our nightly meals at that point. But I got into the groove eventually, and the last week of the cleanse I did add in cooked potato to slow down the detox a bit. But I felt so amazing I kept it going. I could NOT believe it, and for the first time in years, I had something I never believed I'd get back - hope.
  
  Within a few months, so many symptoms had abated or reduced drastically I still couldn't believe it. Every aspect of my health was improving - my pain even started to lessen! One day I realized I'd forgotten to call in my Low Dose Naltrexone prescription, because I no longer needed it to take the edge off the pain! This was my one prescription that if I'd forgotten it even for one day, I felt it, and hard. It didn't even take away my pain - it only took the edge off. But there was no more edge! The pain was at a manageable level all on its own, and I had been off of the LDN for an entire week without even realizing it.
  
  Again, mind blown!
  
  I've been on this healing journey since June of 2016. And in that time I can hardly believe the symptoms that are healing. My all over body pain is GONE. My lower back pain is GONE. Migraines, GONE. Tinnitus mostly gone - still healing. Brain fog, GONE. My EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) symptoms like constant subluxations and pain - G. O. N. E. I can hardly believe how much has healed. My mast cell activation disorder and chemical sensitivity? I haven't worn my Vogmask out anywhere in months, my friends. Months. Before I could never leave or go anywhere without it on, even for a ride in my own car. Now, I can walk into a store like Targ3t and just shop like NBD.
  
  My POTS symptoms, GONE. I can bend over without feeling faint. I can stand up quickly! No more heart palpitations, and I can breathe freely again. I had chronic pain in my body for over two decades, my friends, and IT. IS. GONE. I haven't used my wheelchair in months now. I've been able to walk places again, go for walks with my dog on a daily basis. I'm getting stronger every day.
  
  Oh yes, and my mental health symptoms, I cannot forget those! Depression since age 14? GONE. Anxiety? Holy moly, it's gone! PTSD drastically reduced, I get triggered so much less easily now. My rosacea and acne are healing, a raised mole I had on the back of my leg completely disappeared. Listen, my friends, this is not just me I am talking about - I am by no means an anomaly here. There are thousands of us who are healing - together - there is so much support on this journey from groups on social media - we are here for each other. Search the hashtag medicalmedium on Instagram - we are all there.
  
  My life? It's coming back to me. I can drive a car again, I can go grocery shopping by myself again, or run errands. I can do what I need to do around my house, I can homeschool my son and play with him and take him places again. I can be in the world again without being allergic, sick, or crashing for days or even weeks afterward.
  
  You can heal. If you take out the no foods, eat as many of the healing foods as you can, take the supplements to keep that immune system at its best, and know what the root cause of your issues is. YOU CAN HEAL. It doesn't matter what the diagnosis is, it matters what the root cause is - THAT is what we're healing.
  
  It's a continuous process - as long as we keep doing the best we can for ourselves, we keep unlocking new levels of healing. I'm happy to answer any real questions you have about this work, but if you're on the fence and wondering if you should buy this (or any of the Medical Medium books) and if you can heal? The answer is yes, just do it. Do yourself this favor and get this information into your life. You won't regret it. There is hope. This information is real. You can heal.
  
  And again to the ones saying it didn't work - healing takes time. Sometimes we have really huge work to do to heal our bodies, our livers, our adrenals, our lymphatic systems. There is tweaking that can be done. There is extra help and support if you reach out, if something doesn't seem to be working, there is usually a reason and deeper work that can be done. This isn't a one month and BAM you're done thing. It takes time to undo all of the damage that has been done to our bodies. Please, if you think it's not working, reach out to those of us who have been at this for a long time, we can help. It really does take time and patience to heal, but when you are healing, your life is coming back bit by bit and you're getting your world back. Nothing is more important than your health and your family's health - you are worth the wait!
  
  I also want to say that doesn't notify when someone posts a comment on my review, so I will have no way of knowing if you commented here to ask me a question. I used to have my real name listed on my reviews but that seemed to invite the clones (trolls) tracking me down to harrass me on social media, so I am sorry to say I've had to take that information down. I'm so sorry. I want to be able to answer your genuine questions, if you should have them. Just know I'm not affiliate, I'm not paid, I am not sponsored, I am a real person who is grateful to have her life back, and my family is grateful to have me back, because of this healing information. Yes, my whole family eats this way. No, there is no "one size fits all" protocol, but there IS enough information in these books for you to heal yourself using the information he provides. Only you can decide what's right for you, but for my family, it's worth it for our health to use this information, and it is the only thing that has ever worked. Blessings to you on your healing journey, my friends.
• First off, naturally this book is full of "duh" information- eating well does a body good. You don't need to spend money to know this. This book has some widely research health information, but take everything with a grain of salt when applying it to yourself. I encourage you to not follow blindly.
  
  As someone who has eaten well her entire life (I haven't had processed food since I was in my teens, and don't do sugar, only drink water, only eat organic, exercise intensely 4 times a week, etc.) and yet still suffers from chronic urogenital pain, I have learned that there is no "one recipe heals all". Health is much more complicated- hence healing is much more complicated; everyone is slightly different and this book and its health prescriptions are absolutely not the be-all-end- all for *everyone*. The gut microbiome is EXTREMELY important. I would never argue that, and I'm very well versed in it after being my own medical research advocate for so many years. And food can definitely be medicine. But I have to share my story because it is not unique, it is valid, and could potentially save someone from wasting their money. After reading this book and following the food and supplement protocol which resulted in an INCREASE in pain and inflammation, I decided to bite the bullet and pay for a phone consultation reading with one of Anthony's "intuitive" trainees that was referred by his own website, because I thought "maybe I'm doing something wrong and I need further individualized guidance" . She charged me over $300 for not even 45 minutes, and gave me literally no new information that I didn't already read from the book. And even when I explained to her I was already doing everything AW suggested, for several months, and the pain was worse, she just said "Oh... well just ad x,y,z supplements". So I did, because I thought "she's the intuitive professional, maybe she knows something I don't". A month later on her protocol and I had never been in more pain in my life.
  
  So I quit everything AW and the other "intuitive medical medium" woman were telling me to do, and went back to doing more research. Turns out I had an awful sensitivity to oxalic acid (found in spinach, berries, etc. which of course are the PRIMARY source of nutrients in this healing diet, and I was flooding my body with them every day). Once I cut that out my pain went away. Now, that does not say that I've resolved my underlying problem, but what I'm saying here is that Anthony (and his colleague's) prescription for "how to heal" is NOT the right way for everyone, and can cause more harm than good if your system is operating a certain way. I believe that while we obviously have many similarities, every body system is slightly unique. We all have different root problems and different elements contributing to our health/pain, and sometimes it's dangerous to generalize.
  
  My main give-away message I'd like to share here is that I probably spent about $800 on all the supplements and phone consultations suggested by this protocol, and I ended up worse than when I started. If the practitioner I spoke with really was a true intuitive, wouldn't she have picked up my pain was being exacerbated by the oxalic acid? And it's NOT unique- many people with unexplained urogenital chronic pain have issues metabolizing oxalic acid properly, or histamines in food (also found in healthy food). The one thing I've learned over the last 16 years of trying to find answers to what current medical research hasn't caught up to yet, is that if anyone (doctor or not) says "This is the ONLY way, and the RIGHT way, to treat your issue", then you should run for the hills. We are constantly learning more from medicine, and if you are working with a practitioner who sees things as black and white and has no room for exceptions to the known rules, or no interest in exploring outside of the box, you may be doing yourself a disservice.
  
  Just my two cents on my experience with this protocol, but it may work wonders for you. Just thought it was important to introduce another side. Regardless, I'm wishing you the best health possible!
• Truly life changing, start with simple changes and slowly add more. Simple as blueberry banana coconut water smoothies can reverse a lot of damage, later add the barley grass juice powder, dulce, and Hawaiian spirolina! My fatigue is nearly gone after 2 months of this smoothie once a day!
