What is the dark hierarchy that controls this planet, the Illuminati, getting out of all of this? Why is God allowing it to continue?</em></p><p>AW hasn&#8217;t addressed these questions specifically, but he has dropped many hints, and it seems like he wants people to try to put it together.

take you away from the conditioned and purposely controlled world that tries to sap the light out of the human soul.</em></p><p>Life Changing Foods (Extended Edition) p. 375</p></blockquote><p>On first read this sounded mostly metaphoric to me: the world is set up to beat down and demoralize us. But what if he meant it literally?</p><p>In <em>Brain Saver</em>, AW says that the soul is &#8220;energy &#8230; a fireball of light.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> Perhaps that energy is being sapped not just to weaken and control us, but as a <em>resource</em>, valuable in and of itself.</p><p>It&#8217;d make more sense of comments like <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/17nvca9/craziest_ig_live_i_have_seen_so_far/">these</a>:</p><blockquote><p><em>Daylight savings is to make your life miserable, yes.

With every sick person, there&#8217;s a gain. With every person that gets sicker and sicker and a problem happens there&#8217;s a gain.</em></p></blockquote><p>AW says in <em>AD&amp;ST</em> that all Angels are given light from God, but that once an Angel begins to fall, they are forsaken and lose all further access. I think what we are living here on this earth is their way to replace and replenish this lost power: a kind of energy or soul farm.</p><p>Others have <a href="https://x.com/Ultrafrog17/status/1798033677211029996">noted</a> how strange it is that almost every culture on earth has converged on some form of ritual sacrifice somewhere in its history, with the perpetrators believing that they would receive something in return.

I think the way it works is that God imparts our souls with a certain amount of energy to carry us through our full natural lives on this planet. AW has said for instance that souls have to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1kb34iq/telegram_notes_soul_entering_the_womb/">dodge planets</a> when they are traveling here, and he&#8217;s said that demons have to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1jlyvz1/angels_demons_and_spiritual_tools_notes_on_part_i/">expend energy</a> to travel. It seems that souls would too - and perhaps that energy can be harvested.</p><p>If we die or are killed before the end of our natural lifespan, where does the unused energy go? I think it&#8217;s up for grabs. I believe this is what&#8217;s happening in these sacrificial rituals, and why dark entities want them and reward those who perform them: it is their source of Light and power. And I believe it is why these rituals often involve the sacrifice of the young - there would be much more unused soul energy for these fallen entities to harvest.</p><p>In this pursuit, I think they&#8217;ve enlisted certain humans to help them create a system for extracting this energy. This is what the Illuminati is - as the name suggests, they are the select evil souls who have been brought into the know of what the rest of the world has been left out of.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a></p><p>It&#8217;s members serve those above them in the hierarchy, and in return they receive rewards.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> War, riots, senseless murder and violence - they stoke all of these behind the scenes to keep a strong supply of death and released Light.</p><p>But even war is not the greatest contributor. Consider how many die from addiction, from famine, from poverty, from disease. This Dark Hierarchy is using every means it can think of to prolong and worsen these conditions.</p><p>And if there are billions of people (and animals) on this planet living only to a fraction of their lifespan, how much energy must they be accumulating?<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a> </p><p>It

For instance, AW says that the soul leaves the body when we experience a trauma that is too much pain to handle -</p><blockquote><p><em>When something terrible happens, your soul&#8212;which normally resides in your brain&#8212;gets projected out of your body to protect you from a certain amount of soul injury. Some people can feel this out-of-body experience, watching themselves from afar or even above. This is a safety mechanism. This way, your soul doesn&#8217;t have to experience the full amount of pain from betrayal or loss.</em></p><p>Brain Saver (p. 88)</p></blockquote><p>Why do Satanic rituals involve torture? Perhaps to get the soul to leave the body, and to make it easier to harness energy from it. In light of this, practices like circumcision, a terrible trauma pushed on infants at birth for no defensible reason, start to make more sense.</p><p>Sex too is clearly something they use in their rituals and promote in the wider population. AW has said that most men today are &#8220;seed throwing addicts,&#8221; and it seems intentional - sex is pushed on us at every turn. Would it be that surprising if the act meant to create life involved some kind of soul energy transfer?</p><div class="twitter-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/Cernovich/status/1608964258557210624?s=20&quot;,&quot;full_text&quot;:&quot;Consider how when people get into certain drugs, they go &#8220;poly&#8221; and have burning man orgies.

Why is He allowing it to persist?</p><p>I think it may be that His hands are tied. Satan is cunning, and I think has figured out how to position himself and advance his plans in ways that prevent God from stopping him outright; and instead, they are locked in a kind of cosmic chess game.</p><p>AW seems to indicate something like this in the ending to his recent <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/51kgidVBxNJXJ3PjIhBAJK">Measles podcast</a>:</p><blockquote><p><em>Biological warfare mixed in with spiritual warfare is their last hand in their sick, deranged deck of cards</em> &#8230;</p></blockquote><p>And here, from the end to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1ir70bn/085_bird_flu_stop_eating_chicken_episode_notes/">Bird Flu podcast</a>:</p><blockquote><p><em>God knows their game, and keeps an eye on them all the same&#8230;</em></p><p><em>The scale will tip when it&#8217;s time&#8230;</em></p></blockquote><p>Perhaps God is doing all that he can do until circumstances change to allow him to do more.</p><p>But is there anything that <em>we</em> can do?</p><h1>Fighting Back</h1><p>I believe we were sent here for exactly that purpose. </p><p>AW more or less says so - two of my all time favorite passages from the books:</p><blockquote><p><em>You&#8217;ve been picked out of the crowd as a special person who can change the world. Because you hold power, illness tried to hold you back. You probably experienced symptoms along the way, and this may have gotten you labeled with a whole bunch of different names for what was supposedly wrong with you. Yet the plan of you being picked on backfired. Instead of being constrained, you were pushed forward and forced to grow and develop in your soul and spirit. You gained understandings and insights that brought you closer to God.</em></p><p><em>Thyroid Healing (p. 261)</em></p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote><p><em>Stress is not trying to kill you. It&#8217;s a master teacher that is trying to communicate with you. It&#8217;s trying to test you&#8212;though it&#8217;s not about any sort of score. Just being chosen for this test makes you instantly successful. The world is becoming something new and different. You&#8217;ve been recognized as amazingly capable and a key player in seeing the world through this challenging age of the Quickening. We&#8217;ll only come out on the other side of this era of rebirth if committed people like you learn to recognize stress as an honor and to use it to their advantage.</em></p><p><em>Life Changing Foods (p. 20)</em></p></blockquote><p>My sense is that God cannot intervene too directly without completely disrupting the fabric of what he&#8217;s created and risking all of the souls that exist here; and that Satan knows this, and is essentially holding us hostage, while waging war on us to siphon all of the energy he can.</p><p>AW said in AD&amp;ST that the original meaning of <em>Enlightenment</em> was literally about becoming lighter, so that your soul could rise away from this earth and go back to God. I think Satan has souls here trapped, using his powers of deception to cause them to sink further into sin and weigh them down to ensure they cannot leave.</p><p>So perhaps God sends souls here - ones that can change this system from the inside out and help the others to escape.</p><p>And I think that&#8217;s the answer to why God allows this to continue - to try to save the souls that would otherwise be abandoned, left to the full powers of Satan.</p><p>I think there are many different ways we are helping. </p><p>The most straight forward is by healing ourselves. But I believe it is about more than preserving our natural lifespan and reducing the amount of energy that can be siphoned from us; and about more even than helping to spread this knowledge to others.</p><blockquote><p><em>Always remember: your work toward healing has greater meaning than you could ever know.</em></p><p>Medical Medium (Revised and Expanded Edition) (p. xxiii)</p></blockquote><p>It has felt very clear to me throughout my life that they don&#8217;t want us here. I feel targeted - spiritually harassed - and I&#8217;ve seen many others in our community say the same. It just doesn&#8217;t make sense for life to feel this hard:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/starseeds/comments/1s8xz5x/what_the_hell_is_going_on/" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png" width="474" height="373.9445628997868" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:740,&quot;width&quot;:938,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:474,&quot;bytes&quot;:388448,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.reddit.com/r/starseeds/comments/1s8xz5x/what_the_hell_is_going_on/&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.mysteryillness.xyz/i/176172033?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9cnY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a408b21-4a9b-4e4c-882a-b80ccd9c03f0_938x740.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>And I think the reason they come after us so relentlessly has to do with our souls -

Just because the book of Revelation shows a bleak future doesn&#8217;t mean it has to be a bleak future. Seeing the future can be weaponized... weaponized to stop what&#8217;s been prophesized. And over time, when more people see what lies in the pages of the book of Revelation, they can make a conscious stand and eventually help turn around what&#8217;s to come. The book of Revelation is a hidden schematic. It&#8217;s a map. It&#8217;s a boilerplate of the ending times. But free will determines the ending times.

It is called H3N2 subclade K</p></li><li><p>There are no colds anymore. Only flus</p></li><li><p>These flus are released from private, classified labs at the direction of evildoers. These bugs would cease to exist if these labs stopped creating and releasing them</p></li><li><p>They do it for many reasons: they want to injure and kill people, reduce quality of life, weaken bodies and minds, and experiment with biological warfare. They also use pandemics and outbreaks to influence the political environment, and pandemics give them much more control over people</p></li><li><p>Viruses are trained in these labs to feed on certain foods. Eggs are their favorite, but they also thrive on dairy and gluten. They will still thrive on them even if they are pasture raised / organic</p></li><li><p>As the years go on, these bugs are going to get worse and worse. We have to arm ourselves</p></li><li><p>They started this process in 1917 with the spanish flu, and it never stopped. One of their primary goals is to cull the population</p></li><li><p>The Illuminati, the hierarchy running things behind the scenes, is responsible for all of this and wants people sick</p></li><li><p>This super flu H3N2 is strong enough to take out a lot of elderly people, hurt and even kill a lot children, put a lot of adults on ventilators in hospitals, bring back school closings and mask mandates, and ensure that a lot of adults get long-flu (where symptoms linger for weeks or months, even years)</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Autoimmune&#8221; conditions double after a bad strain like this has gone through the population</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Just like they released COVID back at the end of 2019 to try to alter the political world, they&#8217;re doing it again&#8221;</p></li></ul><h1>How It Spreads</h1><ul><li><p>They have different ways of spreading viruses that they create. They sometimes use low flying helicopters. Another way is by enlisting volunteers in trials where they are infected and then spread the viruses. They&#8217;re given a list of places to go, and after they are done, they are eliminated and disposed of</p></li><li><p>But their most successful means of spreading their viruses is through the flu shot</p></li><li><p>Live viruses are put into a portion of the vials along with eggs so that they can thrive and reproduce</p></li><li><p>Eggs are in the flu shot. Nurses know this, and know that some patients with egg allergies can react to it</p></li><li><p>There is a lot of variation with the flu shot. Some batches have dead viral material, some have no viral material, and others have the strain of live virus they are trying to spread</p></li><li><p>The super flu circulating now was most likely spread through the flu shot</p></li></ul><h1>Super Flu Characteristics</h1><ul><li><p>Viruses that are engineered are selected to produce a lot of mucus</p></li><li><p>The goal is to get mucus in the lungs, sinus cavities, lymphatic system, liver, etc. It makes the flu much more difficult</p></li><li><p>Mucus and toxic waste burdens the immune system and helps virus to evade it and proliferate</p></li><li><p>More aggressive viruses like the super flu will produce more mucus and waste</p></li><li><p>Viruses are engineered to be resistant to high fevers. This is why fevers can stick around for a long time and be so high, the body is trying to push harder to kill it</p></li><li><p>Doctors are seeing this in patients, fevers that last 9 days and are hard to keep under control</p></li><li><p>High fevers are hard on the adrenal glands, which is part of what is intended</p></li><li><p>&#8220;They say 50% of the people who get [this flu] end up in the hospitals needing medical attention&#8221;</p></li></ul><h1>Tips + Precautions</h1><ul><li><p>If you see people with signs of illness - things like sniffles, congestion, sore throat -  be careful and protect yourself. Things like masking can help</p></li><li><p>Brain Saver Protocols has the best flu and covid protocols for adults and children. These protocols include dosages and what kinds of herbs, nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants are best for flu and covid</p></li><li><p>Tips if you get flu:</p><ul><li><p>Stop eating eggs, dairy, gluten</p></li><li><p>Stop overt fats as much as you can. Too much fat in the bloodstream gets in the way of the immune system. Fats are dehydrating too</p></li><li><p>Stop all animal products - all are high in fat. Even fish</p></li><li><p>Also avoid plant based fats - stuff like oils, nuts and seeds, avocado, fake butters</p></li><li><p>Plant based and low fat is the best way to get over it fast</p></li><li><p>Chicken soup is one of the worst things you can do when you&#8217;re sick with the flu. There is way too much fat in the soup</p></li><li><p>Bone broth also bad to have with flu</p></li><li><p>Good tools: MM <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/onion-bronchial-broth">bronchial broth</a>, healing broth, celery juice, lemon water, HMDS, coconut water, thyme tea and thyme water, vegetable soup without fats and with lots of onions garlic and ginger, herbal teas with honey</p></li></ul></li><li><p>&#8220;I know there&#8217;s a lot of issues with mask wearing ... but if I was on a plane right now, I&#8217;d be wearing a mask. And if I was in a busy airport right now, I&#8217;d be wearing a mask. And if I was in the hospital visiting a friend right now, I&#8217;d be wearing a mask. Believe it or not, it really does help. By no means is it foolproof, but it really does help.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>If you have a strong immune system and are not eating viral fueling foods, you can beat viruses like this easily</p></li></ul><h1>Going Forward</h1><ul><li><p>This is not the only bug coming down the pike, this is just the start</p></li><li><p>&#8220;We can have control over bugs like these. We have the tools. Our bodies are fighting machines; our immune systems are strong. We just have to give our body what it needs.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;God knows how evil the industries are, and God has given us the ability to fight and the ability to heal, even against these pathogens. The Light will win in the end.&#8221;</p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.mysteryillness.xyz/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Subscribe for free to receive new posts</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[089 Measles: The Timing Isn't Natural]]></title><description><![CDATA[Episode Notes]]></description><link>https://www.mysteryillness.xyz/p/089-measles-the-timing-isnt-natural</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mysteryillness.xyz/p/089-measles-the-timing-isnt-natural</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[James Ryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Mar 2025 21:37:57 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8DQu!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd45711ba-9a68-4cd8-935e-d7c8991ab4eb_726x726.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Link to podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/089-measles-the-timing-isnt-natural/id1133835109">Apple</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/51kgidVBxNJXJ3PjIhBAJK">Spotify</a></p><p>Episode notes:</p><h1>Virus Origins + Goals</h1><ul><li><p>Measles was released intentionally</p></li><li><p>It is raised in labs on eggs like the other viruses. Just like COVID, just like the flu, EBV, shingles, HHVs</p></li><li><p>The flu would be gone forever if they did not keep continually rereleasing it</p></li><li><p>Private labs funded by evildoers</p></li><li><p>Why are they doing this? They're practicing biologic, pathogenic warfare</p></li><li><p>They have libraries of viruses in these labs</p></li><li><p>They want to someday kill off large swathes of the population. Half the population</p></li><li><p>This is not public medical research and science. This is privately funded doctors and scientists who work for darkness, that is where these bugs are coming from</p></li><li><p>Bird flu is prime example of this evil. It is out there now killing flocks of wild birds</p></li><li><p>Measles viruses that are out there now are very different from those that were out one, two, five centuries ago. Much more aggressive</p></li><li><p>Original measles virus came from ETs thousands of years ago</p></li></ul><h1>Narrative Warfare</h1><ul><li><p>Their fall guy for outbreaks is always bats, or the wet markets</p></li><li><p>Lyme disease is viral. Tick / bacteria is the fall guy</p></li><li><p>Evildoers choose certain times in history to let out bugs. Measles, COVID. "It's interesting -something that should be noted someday"</p></li><li><p>When I hear about a measles outbreak, I go "okay okay why would they put it out now, why would they release it now, what are they up to, what's the game, what's the goal"</p></li></ul><h1>Treating Measles</h1><ul><li><p>Measles should be taken seriously. It is especially dangerous to children.</p></li><li><p>What is the best approach? Treat like a really bad flu. Anti-virals for an aggressive virus. Proper hydration, proper fuel.</p></li><li><p>Fever can be one of the biggest problems. Cool packs on the face, chest, forehead, cloth with cold water, hydration, coconut water, lemon water, cucumber juice.</p></li><li><p>Always starve fever - make sure you're getting enough hydration, electrolytes, other nutrients, other resources. Eat light with a fever, don't eat heavy meals.</p></li><li><p>Measles is never dormant like EBV. It is aggressive, not stealth.</p></li><li><p>Immunocompromised people with no resources or nutrition will do better with a little bit of any kind of nutrients. Vitamin A, C, D etc. Coconut water.</p></li><li><p>A lot of these nutrients will not stop the virus or build up the immune system, however</p></li><li><p>You'll feel something early on before you know that you have measles - it can feel like a cold or allergies in the beginning. Sore throat, stuffy nose, chills, body aches. Preventative care could happen at the start if you pay attention to these signs.</p></li><li><p>Conventional medicine would love people to believe that all they can do is let the immune system try to take it out, nothing else that could be added in to help.</p></li><li><p>Brain Saver Protocols has a section with the top supplements and tools for cold, flu, and covid (page 65). There are protocols with dosages for children of various ages as well. Take it to your doctor and ask if it is right for you. Be sure to read Brain Saver Protocols chapter 2, Golden Rules of Supplements, before applying these.</p></li></ul><h1>The Fight Between Good + Evil</h1><ul><li><p>"Satan no doubt lives on and has a home in their castles afar, directing the evildoers to strive hard and spread disease so it deeply scars."</p></li><li><p>"Biological warfare mixed with spiritual warfare is their last hand in their sick, deranged deck of cards."</p></li><li><p>"They play in labs directed by people with demons that have gone mad"</p></li><li><p>"The light still holds power. God's light holds more. And when the time is right, the clock strikes the hour, the ones that go against the angels and God's light pay the greatest price."</p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

Because you hold power, illness tried to hold you back. You probably experienced symptoms along the way, and this may have gotten you labeled with a whole bunch of different names for what was supposedly wrong with you. Yet the plan of you being picked on backfired. Instead of being constrained, you were pushed forward and forced to grow and develop in your soul and spirit. You gained understandings and insights that brought you closer to God.</em></p><p>Thyroid Healing (p. 261)</p></div><p>This passage always stuck out to me. It raises so many questions: <em>Who picked us out of the crowd, and how did they know to choose us? How did they make us sick and not everyone else too? What power do we have, and why do they fear it? How does our growth derail their plans?</em></p><p>I&#8217;d first read it before AW came out with a lot of his other information to help piece together the puzzle -  details about the classified medical industry, about God and the forces of Light, even about aliens and past civilizations.</p><p>But I&#8217;ve always had a sense there was more to all of this. Growing up it was always the otherworldly and paranormal that would really light me up - magic, ghosts, aliens, Atlantis. It felt as though that information was reconnecting me to something I knew in my bones, reminding me of some deeper meaning, purpose, and history even if I couldn&#8217;t quite grasp it.</p><p>I still don&#8217;t understand the full picture, but AW has dropped more than a few hints over the years. And as we all eagerly await the release of the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1T0ymEXvT0uhgRyt4GdEd7">spiritual audiobook</a>, perhaps some speculation can help to sate our curiosity. I think there&#8217;s a lot that we can put together.</p><h6>Note: this is not comprehensive - please add anything I might have missed in the comments. Also, wherever it is unclear, assume it is my speculation rather than coming from AW. And of course, be sure to listen to the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1T0ymEXvT0uhgRyt4GdEd7">audiobook</a> releasing March 18th for the authoritative account on these subjects.</h6><h6>Also - a content warning. Some of this may be too dark for some readers.</h6><p></p><p>Now - let&#8217;s start here:</p><h2>I. The Quickening</h2><blockquote><p><em>Stress is not trying to kill you. It&#8217;s a master teacher that is trying to communicate with you. It&#8217;s trying to test you&#8212;though it&#8217;s not about any sort of score. Just being chosen for this test makes you instantly successful. <strong>The world is becoming something new and different.</strong> You&#8217;ve been recognized as amazingly capable and a key player in seeing the world through this challenging age of the Quickening. We&#8217;ll only come out on the other side of this era of rebirth if committed people like you learn to recognize stress as an honor and to use it to their advantage.</em></p><p><em>Life Changing Foods (p. 20)</em></p></blockquote><p>It seems like the time we are in is a special one. I wonder sometimes why exactly AW starting writing books when he did, after many decades of one-on-one consultations and lectures. Spirit apparently told him him in the early 2010s that it was time to start writing - I wonder what shifted or came into play to make that the opportune moment.</p><p>In other books I have read (e.g. <em><a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/bringers-of-the-dawn-teachings-from-the-pleiadians-barbara-marciniak/10907537">Bringers of the Dawn</a></em>), it was said that light-worker souls are incarnating on Earth in this particular time en masse, with the goal to anchor frequencies of light here and bring it out of the darkness that has entrapped it. If something like this were true, perhaps it is how the forces of darkness on this planet are able to identify and target us, and why our presence here works against them.</p><p>I wonder if our growth <em>is</em> the anchoring of light frequency, and it&#8217;s why the plan to keep us down backfired: we only grew more.</p><blockquote><p><em>We&#8217;re all meant to have compassion for one another. It is one of the good works we do here, and it matters. It is part of our collective life path, part of surviving the Quickening and taking humanity to the next level.</em></p><p><em>Life Changing Foods (p. 304)</em></p></blockquote><p>Some recent <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DG8eQkvuGuX">comments</a> from AW give additional credence to this idea:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Our soul, it has this power and this light and this frequency. And what you do when you&#8217;re doing Medical Medium information, is you&#8217;re not just physically healing, but you&#8217;re strengthening the frequency of your soul &#8230; You&#8217;re making it stronger.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>Another <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DG14NcDMrI1">here</a><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> -</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;When you have a very bright light, you get challenged more, unfortunately&#8230; The better of a person you are, the more you get challenged&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>And here as well in an older comment:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Without all of you, there would not be enough heart and soul to balance the chaos on earth at this moment in time&#8221;</em></p><p><em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/medicalmedium/p/Cz_TPmNuyxw/">SOC - Thanksgiving post</a></em></p></blockquote><p></p><h2>II. Good Vibrations</h2><blockquote><p><em>The Holy Four food groups are more sacred and powerful than we can even comprehend. Because they grow from the earth and are showered by the sun and sky, enduring out in the elements day after day as they form, they are intimately connected to the holy forces of nature. They don&#8217;t just contain the building-block nutrients that we need to function. They contain intelligence from the Earthly Mother and the heavens that we desperately need about how to adapt.</em></p><p><em>Life-Changing Foods (p. 22)</em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><em>Tanking on a bowl of tangerine wedges, the juice running down your chin and making your fingers sticky, can alter your vibration. Eating a mango in your darkest hour (literally or figuratively) can turn your life around. When we can&#8217;t get the sunlight from outside of ourselves, it&#8217;s time to adapt our approach. Taking in these foods is taking in sunlight. Our cells absorb the light, and it radiates throughout our bodies and brains, emitting its energy and life force. You can look high and low, and you will not find a truer answer for how to cope with our changing world.</em></p><p><em>Life-Changing Foods (p. 25)</em></p></blockquote><p>It seems like a major part of what we are doing by following MM is raising our vibration. Darkness hates this&#8230;</p><p>AW has said that our crops are receiving much less sunlight than in the past due to pollution in the atmosphere. This might be part of the reason for the chemtrail program - if they can limit the amount of sunlight our crops receive, they can lower the amount of information and positive vibration our food contains.</p><p>They do seem oddly interested in blocking out the sun&#8230;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png" width="473" height="212" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:212,&quot;width&quot;:473,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:34268,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.mysteryillness.xyz/i/143369461?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!e8D2!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F08855ef2-15f9-42ec-b7e6-eab74c139e24_473x212.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>It&#8217;s not just about our food either. AW says that the film industry can be really dark for instance, with lots of demons and demonic forces involved. He recommends the <a href="https://tv.apple.com/gb/show/pride-and-prejudice/umc.cmc.14k1lky0oy9txnc60q2x45uv8">1995 version of Pride and Prejudice</a> with Colin Firth as a rare example of a series produced without demonic influence because of the protection of angels. He says it is important to be watching material with a frequency that heals your nervous system.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a></p><p>I wonder too if it is part of the reason that the whole earth is now bombarded with EMF frequencies -</p><blockquote><p><em>Military bases, including classified military bases, around the world send out radio frequencies that travel across the planet and away from our planet into the atmosphere. This has been developing since the 1930s, so our brains and neurons have been learning to adapt.</em> </p><p><em>Brain Saver (p. 240)</em></p></blockquote><p>He&#8217;s said as well that the fragrance industry has the defined goal to prevent us from having true experiences of nature -</p><blockquote><p><em>Last but not least, [the fragrance industries] want to take away any future chance for someone to know what nature really smells like.</em></p><p><em>Brain Saver (p. 210)</em></p></blockquote><p>These experiences connect us to God and our souls, and depriving us of them is another way that darkness might be trying to keep us down in lower vibrational states.</p><p>Darkness&#8217; goal I think is to make life difficult enough and create enough confusion that we either are not able to raise our vibration, or that we become so demoralized that we give up. Programs like MAID in Canada seem to serve this purpose as well.</p><p></p><h2>III. Angels + Demons</h2><p>AW has said that angels are very active here on the planet -</p><blockquote><p><em>Angels coax plants to yield abundant harvests, direct food to the hungry, and control weather for the best outcomes of the crops&#8212;even going so far as to influence wind patterns to keep as many skyborne chemicals as possible from getting into your food.</em> </p><p><em>Life Changing Foods (p. 297)</em></p></blockquote><p>Demons are very active as well. In the material so far released from <em>Angels, Demons, and Spiritual Tools</em>, he hinted that demons are often responsible when freak accidents occur, like when an unexpected wave suddenly appears to take out a single person sitting by the water.</p><p>I&#8217;ve seen many accounts of demonic attacks and possession outside of the MM world as well. Tucker Carlson recently described his own <a href="https://x.com/scooter_downey/status/1852029255682502912">encounter</a> fighting off a demon that came to him in his sleep, saying that it left physical claw marks on his body in the aftermath of the struggle.</p><p>Leslie Wexner, the billionaire Victoria&#8217;s Secret mogul and bankroller for Jeffrey Epstein, said in a <em>New Yorker</em> interview that he was <a href="https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/06/reports/leslie-wexners-inner-demon/">literally possessed</a> by a dybbuk, a Jewish folklore term for a spirit damned to wander the earth because of its sins -</p><blockquote><p>As the article continues, it states that Wexner has been with the <em>dybbuk</em> since he was a boy and that his father had recognized it and referred to it as the &#8220;churning&#8221;. Per Wexner, the <em>dybbuk</em> causes him to feel &#8220;molten&#8221; and constantly pricked by &#8220;spiritual pins and needles&#8221;. It apparently left him at some point as a young man, only to return in 1977 when he was 40, half-frozen during an ill-fated trip up a mountain near his vacation home in Vail, Colorado. This specific trip is when Wexner says he both rejoined with his childhood <em>dybbuk </em>and decided to &#8220;change his life.&#8221;</p><p>He told New York magazine that his <em>dybbuk</em> makes him &#8220;wander from house to house&#8221;, &#8220;wanting more and more&#8221; and &#8220;swallowing companies larger than his own.&#8221; In other words, it compels him to accumulate more money and more power with no end in sight. Wexner later describes the<em> dybbuk </em>as an integral &#8220;part of his genius.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>This does not strike me as metaphorical language&#8230;</p><p>There are many other accounts. If you are familiar with Internal Family Systems (IFS), the therapy modality that works with different &#8220;parts&#8221; of the psyche and views them as something like individual entities -</p><div

<em>How do these demons possess people? Are some more susceptible to it than others?</em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a></p><p>AW will say more in the audiobook, but he has already given some hints. </p><p>To start, see what he says about trace minerals and toxic heavy metals -</p><blockquote><p><em>The trace minerals in our brain connect to our very soul. They hold information within them that connects us to the moon, the stars, the atmosphere, the ether, the heavens .. Trace minerals have both a physical presence and purpose and a metaphysical presence and purpose. And along with macro minerals, trace minerals were meant to be the only metals inside our brain &#8230;</em></p><p><em>When a metal is industrialized and forged, it has lost its memory. An industrialized metal has become toxic and destructive to our bodies, its natural nature has been disrupted, and its active ability to participate for the planet&#8217;s benefit has been lost. Toxic heavy metals are trace minerals&#8217; worst enemy, and vice versa. In conflict with toxic heavy metals, trace minerals are sacrificed.</em></p><p><em>Brain Saver (pp. 40-41)</em></p></blockquote><p>If trace minerals connect us to our souls and to God, and toxic heavy metals neutralize them, then it makes sense that darkness would want them in us for that purpose -</p><blockquote><p><em>Classified medical science relies on us being exposed to toxic heavy metals to create and perpetuate a form of mind control.</em> </p><p><em>Brain Saver (p. 22)</em></p></blockquote><p>But is it possible they do more than to neutralize, and that the mind control is in part about connecting us in an analogous way, but to things very different from our souls and God?</p><p>Some of those who have healed with MM say <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1j76l0q/entities_attached/">their encounters with demons stopped</a> as they used MM tools like the HMDS&#8230;</p><p>And AW refers to the <em>Mercury Demon</em> in the first book, a dark entity behind the industry that is responsible for exposing us to it. He&#8217;s said as well that darkness absolutely hates that we are getting these metals out of ourselves.</p><p>But maybe it is not just metals that connect us with darkness. I saw an osteopath who was very spiritual and did work in these realms, and she said that I had an &#8220;energetic sink&#8221;, something feeding off my energy, and that viruses can weaken you and enable it.</p><p>And I forget where exactly I saw it, but I&#8217;ve seen from MM as well that being sick will weaken your energetic field, perhaps allowing entities to attach.</p><p>I think of things like psychedelics and alcohol as well - poisons that weaken us. We&#8217;ve long called alcohol &#8220;spirits&#8221; - is there some connection? Does it have something to do with why users report seeing interdimensional entities on drugs like DMT, with incredibly consistent descriptions from completely separate people who have no prior knowledge of the phenomenon?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

From that same live:</p><blockquote><p><em>With every fatality, there's a gain for illumination. With every sick person, there's a gain. With every person that gets sicker and sicker and a problem happens there's a gain.</em></p></blockquote><p>I think there are some straightforward ways this is true - e.g. they gain financially when people have to use the medical system and pay for treatment for instance.</p><p>But I think it goes deeper as well.</p><p>From the ending of his <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1ir70bn/085_bird_flu_stop_eating_chicken_episode_notes/">Bird Flu podcast</a> -</p><blockquote><p><em>The puppeteers at the top, so many of them now control the Gov, control apps, control the ops.</em></p><p><em>So much doing wrong, will they ever stop? It&#8217;s on purpose to break down the mind and hurt the future billions of lives, causing them to fold early in life, destroying bloodlines.</em></p></blockquote><p>Later on, he mentions Satan himself as being at the top:</p><blockquote><p><em>They only want hopeless health disasters. And the influencers are helping the darkness in doing evil&#8217;s bidding to make it go even faster.</em></p><p><em>They don&#8217;t know it, but they&#8217;re working for the Dark Lord, Beezlebub, the Master.</em></p></blockquote><p>It seems like the destruction of life itself is the core of what they want and are gaining from. But how?</p><p>I have heard a few theories that could make sense of this. </p><p>First, an MM passage on the soul:</p><blockquote><p><em>Soul Protection </em></p><p><em>There can also be a soul aspect to emotional events. <strong>When something terrible happens, your soul&#8212;which normally resides in your brain&#8212;gets projected out of your body to protect you from a certain amount of soul injury.</strong> Some people can feel this out-of-body experience, watching themselves from afar or even above. This is a safety mechanism. This way, your soul doesn&#8217;t have to experience the full amount of pain from betrayal or loss. </em></p><p><em>You may have heard of the supernatural occurrence of Mike the Headless Chicken. Mike was a chicken in the 1940s who survived long after his head was cut off. There are a lot of theories out there about how this happened. After hearing this story at the time, hundreds of farmers worldwide started chopping their chickens&#8217; heads off in experimental ways. It became an obsession, chopping the heads off in various places, because people were in such disbelief. Farmers would sever the heads higher up, preserving even more of a chicken&#8217;s neck and brain stem than Mike&#8217;s, trying to see if their chickens would live too. Over a hundred thousand chickens were beheaded in this process, and they never survived. <strong>Here&#8217;s what no one knows about how Mike stayed alive, and why it&#8217;s relevant here: a chicken has a soul, which normally resides in its brain, just like ours. At the traumatic time of having its head chopped off, this chicken&#8217;s soul left the chicken&#8217;s brain. Instead of floating away into the ether as the chicken&#8217;s body died, the chicken&#8217;s soul entered into the chicken&#8217;s body, giving the physical body&#8217;s will extra strength to survive, along with intelligence the soul had gathered from the chicken&#8217;s brain.</strong> That is, Mike stayed alive because by entering his body, his soul gave strength of will and brain intelligence to his body.</em> </p><p><em>Brain Saver (p. 88)</em></p></blockquote><p>And here as well, this idea of the soul having some kind of power -</p><blockquote><p><em>Your brain is electricity. The electricity created in your brain exists through a combination of two supernatural forces (one receiving power from the ether and the other receiving power from your soul) plus a physical component (your heart&#8217;s and brain&#8217;s programming to thrive since your inception of life). This is the foundational basis of your brain&#8217;s life force and how it runs.</em> </p><p><em>Brain Saver (p. 20)</em></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><em>The soul is energy, and the energy of the soul is powerful&#8212;a fireball of light.</em><br><br><em>Brain Saver</em> <em>(p. 552)</em></p></blockquote><p>I am reminded of <a href="https://x.com/Ultrafrog17/status/1798033677211029996">some comments</a> I heard recently about ritual sacrifice, and how it is odd that so many cultures that had no connection to one another all converged on the practice.</p><p>Why did all of these cultures see it as some kind of offering to the Gods, something that these powerful entities wanted and for which they would give something in return? Maybe because <em>it was</em>.</p><p>If our souls come here with a kind of energy and power - a life force - perhaps somehow, when we are killed and die before our time, they are able to harvest this energy. </p><p>Another theory I have heard that relates is that dark entities can feed on our emotions, and that certain low vibrational frequencies like fear and suffering are their preference&#8230;</p><p>Maybe that&#8217;s what the entire operation they&#8217;ve set up on Earth is about: extracting some kind of power from us.</p><p>A question that arises - why would God allow any of this? Why can&#8217;t his angels stop this?</p><p>Perhaps somehow they can use the energy and power they take from us to escape natural processes, and delay the consequences of all that they&#8217;ve done.</p><p>AW seems to indicate something like this.

extraterrestrial:</h3><ul><li><p>It happened many years ago, driving with a friend late at night going home from a diner. Traveling along a dirt road, they saw a dark figure wearing a metallic flickering jacket. It looked almost human. Suddenly light came out of the sky, brighter than daytime, and the car was shut off. Figure was tall - had a head, but not looking at them, head was facing a different direction than body. Figure lifted off ground about a foot, levitating. Tall man with no face. Head looked wrapped in skin, tight wrapping. Indentation of eyes but no eyes; markings of nostrils, but no nostrils; a line as if a mouth, but no mouth. AW heard a voice - "it's going to hurt you." Light in the sky disappeared, car started up again and he sped off.</p></li><li><p>He felt a strange block preventing him from talking about it in the years afterward. Not about fear or not wanting to though.</p></li><li><p>Wonders if alien was psychically connecting to him, influencing him to come towards it.</p></li><li><p>Believes divine or angelic intervention is what saved him and that it was responsible for the sky lighting up the way it did.</p></li></ul><p></p><h3>Past Civilizations and Our True History</h3><ul><li><p>Civilizations have been on this planet for close to a million years.</p></li><li><p>The people who were here tens of thousands of years ago were not our ancestors. There's no genetic connection or lineage. We&#8217;re not connected to the older civilizations.</p></li><li><p>Evolution is not the truth of how we got here.</p></li><li><p>There have been many interruptions to civilization on this earth. Civilization has been completely wiped out multiple times.</p></li><li><p>We don't know how old the current civilization really is. It hasn't been here that long. There is a huge gap between civilizations that we uncover evidence of as well.</p></li><li><p>We got here, but we were created somewhere else.</p></li><li><p>There was life on mars; statues and war machines on mars. Actual thriving civilizations, buildings houses and cities. It is now a nuclear wasteland after many wars. It is still not in a place where it can be reseeded with new civilization.</p></li><li><p>Natural disasters in the past have erased civilizations - flood, shifting axis, meteorites.</p></li></ul><p></p><h3>Noah&#8217;s Ark</h3><ul><li><p>Noah heard the voice of God as a prophet and was told to build the ship to reseed the planet.</p></li><li><p>Noah was not a human; his ship was a starship.</p></li><li><p>He picked up different species from different planets and took them to earth.</p></li><li><p>People initially needed provisions until they could fend for themselves. This was continued for generations. Once we became self-sufficient, the provisions stopped.</p></li><li><p>At this time, everything was just about survival. Nothing was documented. And so what happened just became stories.</p></li><li><p>We do not have any stories from people before the flood.</p></li><li><p>The ship did not come back for thousands of years.</p></li><li><p>Beings that were here before the flood were humans and aliens. God flooded part of the planet where there were bad aliens taking advantage of humans and harming them. These aliens were not sophisticated and did not have ships.</p></li><li><p>Good extraterrestrials created the flood and God gave them the message to do it.</p></li><li><p>Atlantis was destroyed as collateral damage - it was a thriving, incredibly advanced civilization.</p></li></ul><p></p><h3>Holy Relics</h3><ul><li><p>The ancient holy relics are real.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> Mentions the following: Arc of the Covenant. Holy Grail. Ring of Saint Edward. Veil of Veronica. Rod of Aaron.</p></li><li><p>Holy Grail was some kind of alien device and was made out of an exotic metal.</p></li><li><p>Arc of the Covenant produced mana (algae) to feed Israelites in the desert.</p></li><li><p>Archaeology is controlled field + discoveries are withheld from us.</p></li></ul><p></p><h3>The Aliens Among Us</h3><ul><li><p>Yes the governments are involved with aliens. Yes they've gotten hold of alien craft and even aliens.</p></li><li><p>ETs have dropped off all kinds of creatures as well. Military will often help cover it up when people encounter them.</p><ul><li><p>Story about hunter who shot and killed a Sasquatch, buried him and didn't tell anyone because it looked almost human and were scared. 9 feet tall, 500 pound hairy humanoid like creature.</p></li><li><p>Yetis have torn apart campsites and killed everyone there.</p></li><li><p>Mentions a few specific ones: Wolf man, a seven-foot tall beast. Smoke wolf, massive wolf the size of a bear, red eyes and wolf head. Moth man, 10 feet tall with wings, spotted before something bad happens. Chupacabra has different forms and is responsible for some mysterious killings. </p></li><li><p>In 1864 during the Civil War, soldiers killed a gigantic winged creature flying through the air. They took a photograph of them standing on it, then butchered it and cooked it to eat.</p></li><li><p>There are water creatures as well. Mermaids are not like they are in storybooks, but are humanoids with claws on webbed hands and feet. They tend to cause trouble for people if there are no witnesses around.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>The existence of these creatures is purposely hidden from us because they don't want us asking the questions that would arise from this knowledge.</p><ul><li><p>A new normal is coming because everyone has a camera now. Already people are capturing creatures on their phones and house cameras. The authorities and system controllers will then gaslight us about it as if we've always been aware.</p></li><li><p>They will try to sell us fake narratives explaining their existence, e.g. of mutation from chemical exposure. It will be very hard to keep these stories straight and free of contradictions which is part of why they avoid talking about it as much as they can.</p></li><li><p>Greatest fear the people controlling this planet have is for us to find out where these creatures came from: Noah's Ark and other spaceships.</p></li><li><p>The reason we don't run into these creatures more is that we inhabit very little land. There are huge, huge swathes of government-owned and private-owned land where these creatures reside. The overpopulation narrative is nonsense but they want us to believe it.</p></li><li><p>The system controllers may use disclosure to their advantage, e.g. if they want to clear out an area, they could say that a dangerous creature is there and that people need to evacuate for 50 miles. May say that creatures are carrying infectious disease as well, and may use it to cover up some other cause of illness they don't want people to know about.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>These creatures have supernatural abilities. Some can paralyze people.</p></li><li><p>Excess land not occupied by humans is being used to mine rare minerals. Deals made with aliens: they get precious minerals and our blood which they feed on and refine for trace minerals, we get technology. Blood draws and blood donations - only a small fraction goes to purported use. You only need a few drops to do tests. They want to examine our genes as well through our blood.</p></li><li><p>There are many different alien races from all over the universe.</p></li><li><p>The moon is being mined without regulation. They are hollowing it out and destabilizing it, and one day it may collapse and fall to earth, possibly throwing the earth off axis and into the sun. There are bad ETs that want this.</p></li><li><p>There are ownership norms all throughout the universe. Wars, deals over resources.</p></li><li><p>Both bad ETs and good ETs work and communicate with human leadership on this planet.</p></li><li><p>Some ETs live among us.</p></li><li><p>Bad ETs come here to go into fields of great influence like science, medicine, and the military.</p></li><li><p>Mentions the possibility of something like Project Bluebeam, where we will be a fed a fake narrative that the aliens want to kill us for the purpose of controlling us.</p></li></ul><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14414367/covid-vaccines-new-syndrome-biological-changes-yale.html">link to the article</a>. Some key excerpts:</p><blockquote><p>Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines.</p><p>The previously-unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance.</p><p>Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot.</p><p><strong>The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and nerve issues.</strong></p><p>...</p><p><strong>Both people with long Covid and those with PVS seemed to have reactivated Epstein-Barr syndrome.</strong></p><p>More than nine in 10 adults have had Epstein-Barr at some point in their lives, a common infection spread through bodily fluids like saliva or semen.</p><p><strong>It causes symptoms like fatigue, fever, and rashes, and once symptoms disappear, the virus remains dormant in the body, where it can be reactivated when the immune system is low.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Sound familiar?</p><p>Compare the above to what AW wrote in 2021:</p><blockquote><p>FLU AND COVID COMPLICATIONS</p><p>I&#8217;ve always said that when someone gets the flu, it can lower the immune system, allowing other opportunities for viruses such as EBV to take hold. The flu is an Epstein-Barr virus trigger. That&#8217;s why some people seem to bounce back from a bad flu after a few days and other people need months of recovery. COVID is triggering similar problems, on a larger scale.</p><p><em>Medical Medium Revised and Expanded Edition: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal</em> (p. 48)</p></blockquote><p>He&#8217;s said that the covid vaccine has a similar effect, and that this is the real root cause of both long covid and most chronic symptoms post vaccination - underlying viral conditions being triggered by the immune system hit.</p><p>MM warned years ago that they&#8217;d take his info and pretend like it was theirs all along - those of us paying attention won&#8217;t be fooled!</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor"

We have to truly share in their experiences.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods p. 304</p></div><p>One of the hardest parts about this is that nobody gets it.</p><p>I try not to talk about it anymore. With one friend, I could feel his attention drifting as I responded to his question about how things were going with my health, an impatience and resistance closing him off to what I was saying despite his efforts to suppress them. I resented it at first but I realized I can&#8217;t blame him; I wouldn&#8217;t get it either.</p><p>He really does try. Later on in that conversation he softened as I talked about the difficulties I&#8217;d had with a mutual friend, the way I didn&#8217;t feel like myself almost all the time and screwed up every social interaction I had, but he kept pressuring me to come to his events. <em>Yeah - he just thinks you need to get out more and you&#8217;ll be fine. He doesn&#8217;t get it at all.</em></p><p>Another of my closest friends had always been skeptical. He wouldn&#8217;t voice it often, but back when I was in my Lyme years, he&#8217;d sent me an article about how Lyme patients come to identify with their illness and it can stop them from getting better. Later on, he came over to my place one evening and got visibly angry when he saw the latest Medical Medium book on my coffee table. He&#8217;d crossed a line, and he knew it - he collected himself almost immediately. But he was frustrated to see me continue to struggle, and didn&#8217;t want me wasting so much effort on something that in his mind clearly wasn&#8217;t going to work.</p><p>One night we went out to dinner after a month or two of not talking as much. It&#8217;s been a recurring tension in our relationship, finding ways to continue to relate despite our almost completely diverging worldviews. We&#8217;ll have points of friction but each time in the aftermath as I try to think through how I can be kinder and more respectful despite our differences, I find him doing the same thing. </p><p>It was clear to me that he was really making an effort that night. It&#8217;d been a frustration of mine that our relationship felt one-way, like I was always stepping into his world but he was never stepping into mine. But that night he was asking me questions about things he would ordinarily resist. And he was genuinely listening - really trying to let his own ideas go, softening, so that he could see things as I did and connect with me.</p><p>We starting talking about future plans. I brought up my health and the ways I was still struggling. I felt a flash of his discomfort - I know his perspective, the way our culture has conditioned both of us, and I know the way my entire understanding of the world grates against it. <em>It&#8217;s psychological, or a lack of exercise, or his diet that&#8217;s making him tired; he&#8217;s wasting his time with this other stuff</em>.</p><p>But he overrode it. I&#8217;ll always remember the moment - the care and willful softening in his expression as I tried to talk about it. He was really doing everything he could in that moment, surrendering everything, to try to be a good friend to me.</p><p>I wonder now if I was asking too much of him. </p><p>How couldn&#8217;t he find all of this crazy? How could a person entertain ideas like this, that go so deeply against everything they believe when they have no personal experience to support them?</p><p>I think it&#8217;s something to aspire to in relationships, being able to set aside your own perspective in order to really take in and understand someone else&#8217;s; to really see the other person on their own terms and to see the world as they do. But the more divergence in experience and worldview there is, the harder it gets. I don&#8217;t want to expect things from my friends that they can&#8217;t give - that I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d be able to give in their position - and I love them for trying at all.</p><p>It&#8217;s not easy to be so at odds with the rest of society. Not everyone is as kind about it. I remember in college, the knowing glances a few of my teammates would give each other when I talked about my Lyme diagnosis. And I remember years later on a ski trip with a friend, how belligerent one of his friends was once he realized I had a different perspective than he did<em>. </em>He was never direct, but constantly pushing the issue and probing to get a rise out of me - <em>don&#8217;t those anti-GMO idiots realize how many lives golden rice has saved?</em></p><p>It&#8217;s taken me some time but I&#8217;ve realized I don&#8217;t have to explain anything to anyone. Share with people who respect you and have genuine interest to understand your perspective - set and hold a boundary with everyone else.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t say anything at the time but what I wish I&#8217;d told that guy - <em>Hey, we clearly have different perspectives on this - that&#8217;s okay.

People are much more aware now than they were even ten years ago of the challenges we&#8217;re up against - of the limitations and failings of conventional medicine and the allopathic model, of the importance of food and its impact on health, of the saturation of our environment with toxins.</p><p>It&#8217;s hard to watch people go through it when I feel like I&#8217;ve already been there and can help them avoid everything I&#8217;ve been through.

We&#8217;re all just making our best guesses.</p><p>It&#8217;s not always possible, but I think the world heals when people show each other this kind of respect - listening without an agenda, really trying to understand how things seem from their point of view, and not offering anything when they aren&#8217;t open to receiving.</p><p>And it&#8217;s not the reason to do it - I don&#8217;t think you can genuinely respect someone in this way if it&#8217;s strategic - but once people feel this coming from you, often it helps them to do the same.</p><p>Energy is heightened in the world right now and has been for some time.

warning that <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/18m5z1z/mm_talking_about_white_lung_im_trying_to_let/">white lung is coming to town</a>, and so I wanted to put together a post highlighting some precautions you can take to help avoid it as well as things you can do to mitigate symptoms and overcome it quickly if you do catch it.</p><blockquote><p><em>"I&#8217;m trying to let everybody know, that [stuff] is coming to town. And it&#8217;s a wave, where everybody in the family is gonna be coughing their guts out. The media is keeping it quiet"</em></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C094ETyu1Ha/">IG Live 12/17/23 - Concussion Recovery</a></p></blockquote><h1>Precautions</h1><p>Here are some tips for avoiding bugs:</p><ul><li><p>Be careful about what surfaces you touch, and wash your hands regularly. Shopping carts, gas pumps, door handles, packages, and others' hands are common vectors for the spread of germs. Avoid touching your face and eyes when your hands are not clean, and be sure your hands are clean before eating. Handi-wipes are a good thing to carry out with you - even the alcohol ones are worth it to avoid catching a bug.</p></li><li><p>When eating at a restaurant, order dishes that are piping hot. The heat can help to kill any germs that may have contaminated your food.</p></li></ul><p>+ here are some general tips to keep your immune system strong so that you can battle any germs you do catch:</p><ul><li><p>Prioritize sleep and good self-care, especially if you're feeling run down or stressed.</p></li><li><p>As much as you can, avoid exposure to toxins like synthetic fragrances and perfumes that will diminish your immunity.</p></li><li><p>Take immune building supplements like zinc, cat's claw, vitamin C, lemon balm, B12, spirulina, and chaga. If you can't take these year round, aim to have them when you are under particular stress and busy, or when you are traveling or otherwise have more exposure to germs.</p></li><li><p>Include an abundance of immune building foods as well - a few of the most potent are garlic, onions, ginger, turmeric, raw honey, and radishes.</p></li></ul><p>Avoid all troublemaker foods as well if you can, as these will feed bugs and weaken your system. Especially avoid eggs, dairy, gluten, corn, soy, pork, and canola oil.</p><p>High quality chicken meat in general is not a troublemaker food, but when it comes to flu viruses chicken is important to avoid. Avian flu viruses can feed off birds' adrenal glands and flesh cells, and they love chicken in particular, so avoiding it can really help to prevent a bad case of flu.</p><h1>How to mitigate if you do catch it</h1><p>If you do catch the flu, taking certain steps early can really help to lessen the severity and help you recover faster. Making a <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm-video-library/pathogen-exposure-brain-shot">pathogen exposure brain shot</a> if you think you may have come in contact with germs can be a great way to nip a flu in the bud. Another tip:</p><blockquote><p>If you feel like you&#8217;re coming down with something, take a teaspoon of raw honey before bed. This is also a good remedy to enhance a night&#8217;s sleep.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods (p. 255)</p></blockquote><p>The shock therapies are very helpful too (the thyme and zinc shock therapies saved me last week). Use at first sign of symptoms.</p><h4><strong>Zinc shock therapy</strong></h4><blockquote><p><em>This incredibly effective healing tool has helped countless people prevent getting sick, or turn around symptoms of a cold or flu in record time. Zinc stops the immune system from overreacting or underreacting and slows down viruses and unproductive, aggressive bacteria. Use Zinc Shock Therapy at the first sign of a cold, flu, or COVID or when you suspect you have been exposed to a pathogen.</em></p></blockquote><p>how to:</p><blockquote><p>Squirt two dropperfuls of liquid zinc sulfate into your throat, let it sit there for a full minute and then swallow the zinc.&nbsp;</p><p>Three hours later, squirt another two dropperfuls into your throat and let it sit there again for a full minute before swallowing.&nbsp;</p><p>Repeat every three waking hours for two days.</p></blockquote><p>More information on zinc shock therapy <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/zinc-shock-therapy">here</a>.</p><p></p><h4><strong>Vitamin C shock therapy</strong></h4><blockquote><p><em>The special combination of ingredients in this Shock Therapy work together synergistically to feed your immune system and deliver powerful antioxidant and antiviral, antibacterial healing nutrients to the body.</em></p></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/vitamin-c-shock-therapy">how to</a></p><p></p><h4><strong>Thyme tea shock therapy</strong></h4><blockquote><p><em>Thyme contains a phytochemical compound that is antiviral, antibacterial, anti-mold, anti-yeast, and anti&#8211;unproductive fungus that stays circulating inside the bloodstream long after nutrients from other foods have either been utilized, dissipated, or eliminated out of the body. Thyme lingers, creating a time-released protective barrier against pathogens.</em></p></blockquote><p><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/thyme-tea-shock-therapy">how to</a></p><p></p><h4><strong>Goldenseal shock therapy</strong></h4><blockquote><p><em>Goldenseal is antibacterial and antiviral, and as a result, goldenseal is anti-inflammatory because it reduces pathogens and aids in restoring weakened immune cells. White blood cells utilize goldenseal&#8217;s antiviral, antibacterial compounds by carrying and then releasing these compounds into battle zones&#8212;areas of the body where white blood cells are at war with pathogens. Medical Medium Goldenseal Shock Therapy can be used with both acute conditions and ongoing chronic conditions.</em></p></blockquote><p>how to - </p><blockquote><p>For an adult, take 6 dropperfuls of alcohol-free goldenseal tincture in an ounce or more of water or juice (or directly in the mouth, with an optional juice or water chaser) every four waking hours. </p><p>You can do this for three to five days, and then switch to the dosage in an individual supplement list. </p><p>If a bout of illness, infection, or symptoms is still not subsiding a week or more after completing a round of Goldenseal Shock Therapy, you&#8217;re welcome to apply Goldenseal Shock Therapy for another three to five days. Do wait a minimum of one week between rounds of this therapy.</p></blockquote><p>For children, see Brain Saver Protocols p. 28</p><p></p><h4><strong>Propolis shock therapy</strong></h4><blockquote><p><em>Propolis is a powerful antiviral, antibacterial medicinal tool. If the propolis is high quality and used correctly, it has the ability to slow down, reverse, and even stop infections of many different varieties. Propolis doesn&#8217;t just contain one antiviral agent compound. Propolis carries multiple antiviral agent compounds&#8212;sometimes even dozens.</em></p></blockquote><p>how to - </p><blockquote><p>For an adult, take 4 dropperfuls of alcohol-free* propolis tincture in an ounce or more of water or juice every three waking hours. </p><p>You can do this for three to five days, then switch to the dosage in an individual supplement list. You&#8217;re welcome to continue cycling through Propolis Shock Therapy. You can either take a week off and then apply it again, or you can repeat rounds of Propolis Shock Therapy back-to-back if you choose. </p><p>If your supplement list doesn&#8217;t include propolis, you can do 2 dropperfuls of propolis tincture daily in between rounds of Propolis Shock Therapy. </p><p>*Even propolis tincture labeled alcohol-free can contain traces of different forms of alcohol. Use propolis tincture with the least amount of alcohol you can find. Check the directory at www.medicalmedium.com for the only true alcohol-free propolis.</p></blockquote><p>For children, see Brain Saver Protocols p. 30</p><p><strong>Important notes:</strong> </p><ul><li><p>If you feel a need to use more than one Shock Therapy on the same day(s), avoid mixing them directly together. Space the therapies apart by at least 15 minutes. (Brain Saver Protocols p. 22)</p></li><li><p>If you&#8217;re sensitive, you are welcome to lower the dosage amount to whatever you are comfortable with for all Medical Medium Shock Therapies.</p></li></ul><h1>Foods + Supplements as you recover</h1><p>Avoiding troublemakers is particularly important when you're sick. Focus on including healing, anti-pathogenic Holy Four foods like onions, garlic (especially raw), ginger, raw honey, and thyme.</p><p>Be sure to get plenty of hydration in the form of lemon/lime water, ginger water, coconut water, celery juice, and cucumber juice - MM says straight cucumber juice can stop a fresh viral infection in its tracks. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices such as apple/cucumber juice, orange juice, and green juices are also amazing.</p><p>Sticking to liquids while you have a flu will help you heal as quickly as possible. Other non-hydrating liquids like the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-healing-broth.htm">healing broth</a> and non-caffeinated herbal teas also have immense benefit in battling flu symptoms.</p><p>Some additional tools like the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-turmeric-ginger-shots.htm">turmeric-ginger shots</a> (or a ginger-turmeric tea if these are too strong), <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-elderberry-syrup">elderberry syrup</a>, and <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-ginger-water.htm">ginger</a> or <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-thyme-tea-water.htm">thyme water</a> or tea can be very helpful as well. You can read more on all of these <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/10-top-cold-and-flu-healing-foods">here</a>.</p><h4><strong>Other foods that may be particularly helpful:</strong></h4><p>White lung comes from a virus creating scar tissue in the lung, and so here are some foods that are good for the lungs in particular:</p><p>Cruciferous vegetables:</p><blockquote><p>They&#8217;re especially good for lung health; because of their sulfur-rich nature, every single vegetable in this family restores and stimulates the growth of lung tissue. Sulfur is one of the only minerals that branches out into other forms of itself&#8212;a chemical process that science has discovered at a surface level and has yet to tap into in its full meaning. Cruciferous vegetables contain two types of sulfur, one in macromineral form and the other as an accompanying micro-sulfur trace mineral. Together they permeate lung tissue to help stimulate growth, regeneration, and healing, and they also restore and recover lung scar tissue.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods (p. 136)</p></blockquote><p>Onions:</p><blockquote><p>High in the trace minerals zinc, manganese, iodine, and selenium, onions help rejuvenate the skin and protect the lungs. If you&#8217;d like your skin to look younger, it&#8217;s a great idea to eat onions daily. Same goes if you used to be a smoker, and you&#8217;d like to repair some of that damage to your lungs. Onions are very helpful for addressing colds and flus that cause bronchitis, and for bacteria-caused pneumonia.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods (pp. 152-153)</p></blockquote><p>Dandelion:</p><blockquote><p>What makes the dandelion unique is that every part of the plant can be used: root, leaves, flower, and even stem. Each bit has a different degree of bitterness, and this corresponds with areas of the body that need different sorts of cleansing. To start with, the flowers (which have some bitterness yet are edging on slightly sweet) cleanse the hollow organs such as the stomach and intestinal tract, gallbladder, bladder, lungs, uterus, and heart.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods (p. 246)</p></blockquote><p>Some tips for coughs (white lung is said to produce a relentless cough) -</p><p><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/lychee">Lychees</a> -</p><blockquote><p>Lychees have the reputation of being able to help the most stubborn of coughs and provide significant respiratory relief from congestion and chronic coughs.&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p>MM recommends this for congestion, but it may help a cough as well -</p><blockquote><p>If you&#8217;re dealing with sinus congestion, cold, or flu, try placing chopped onion in a bowl of warm to hot water, draping a towel over your head and the bowl, and inhaling. This is a great technique for breaking up mucus and loosening congestion.</p><p>Life-Changing Foods (p. 155)</p></blockquote><p>and MM recommends the following supplements in his <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/tips-for-colds-flu">blog</a> on Cold + Flu -</p><blockquote><p>Olive leaf is a great daily supplement if you have Epstein-Barr-related symptoms or conditions. It's also helpful if you're starting to feel sick with flu-like symptoms (in this case, increase the dose).</p><p>Echinacea and goldenseal help fight a flu. If you're battling streptococcus, strep throat, tonsillitis, or strep-related sinus infections, you may also benefit from using these periodically.</p><p>Elderberry syrup &nbsp;is another incredible flu-fighting supplement. &nbsp;</p><p>Lomatium root can help with flu symptoms, bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus problems, fever, and more.</p><p>Cherry bark helps with a cough.</p><p>Mullein leaf is incredible for shingles-related symptoms and conditions. It's also great for fighting the flu, sinus infections, bronchitis, and lung issues.</p><p>Eyebright is amazing at knocking down flus and streptococcus.</p><p>Propolis &nbsp;can be a powerful immune system support.</p><p>Micro-C&nbsp;and cat's claw are great to take daily. If you start to feel sick, increase the amount.</p><p>Red root can be another helpful supplement.</p><p>Rose hips tea with ample lemon juice added is helpful for flu symptoms, especially sore throats. Many other teas are helpful for flu symptoms too. Remember to add lemon juice for more healing benefits.</p></blockquote><p>Note: Vimergy has also just released a new <a href="https://vimergy.com/products/total-immune-blend">Total Immune Blend</a> tincture combining zinc, thyme, and mullein.</p><h4>Two important notes on supplements:</h4><blockquote><p>When you buy supplements, look for high-quality capsules or alcohol-free tinctures. The Medical Medium <a href="http://www.medicalmedium.com/preferred/supplements">preferred supplements page</a> provides recommendations.</p><p>If you want to help your kids stay flu-free, use supplements in smaller doses, and consider working with a practitioner to determine the ideal amount for your child.</p></blockquote><p></p><p>Good luck and stay safe everyone.

My mom had ordered the first book after seeing the reviews on Amazon. We were desperate for answers - I&#8217;d been sick for many years and had tried almost everything that came my way, seeing specialist after specialist for lyme, adrenal fatigue, mold illness, POTS, heavy metal toxicity, parasites, and more to try to get to the bottom of my chronic fatigue and other debilitating neurological symptoms. </p><p>I was skeptical when I first saw it -<em> medical medium?</em> - and let the book sit on the kitchen counter for a few weeks. But when I finally did begin reading, I couldn&#8217;t stop. I finished it in a few days.</p><p>Something about it all just rang so true to me. I&#8217;ve heard many others say the same thing since, that it touched on and lit up some deep and unmistakable inner knowing in us.</p><p>But those early days were also overwhelming - there is just so much information, and so much to change. I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. I&#8217;m writing this so you can avoid them, and get started with healing as easily and quickly as possible.</p><p>The first place to start is to talk about what is making us sick - the true factors behind our growing epidemic of chronic illness: viruses, heavy metals, DDT, and radiation.</p><h2>The Unforgiving Four</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!W1HA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg" width="592" height="323.0628571428571" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/175a936b-652c-456f-bf66-9d76dd8b775b_700x382.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:382,&quot;width&quot;:700,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:592,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;What Were We Thinking?

Each family has many strains, some far more aggressive than others. These viruses and their inflammatory byproducts are what is really behind so many of the increasingly prevalent conditions that conventional medicine has no real answers for - illnesses like Hashimoto&#8217;s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, eczema, psoriasis, PCOS and more.</p><p>Hundreds of years ago, the viruses in our body used to be mostly docile and symbiotic, like good bacteria. But through directed lab tampering as well as the increasing toxicity of our world and bodies resulting from the industrial revolution, we now have many strains of viruses that live in us and work against our health rather than support it.</p><p>With each generation, these viruses are getting more aggressive. In the 40s and 50s, people generally had viruses that would take many decades to progress through their stages in the body to create symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations, and fatigue. But as more aggressive strains have mutated and spread, people who are younger and younger are showing up in doctor&#8217;s offices with mysterious chronic symptoms. If you have a particularly aggressive virus, you can even develop cancer as a young person.</p><p>Medical science and research are mostly in the dark about this reality. You&#8217;ll see a lot of people with chronic illness be labelled with &#8220;post viral syndrome&#8221; and often these people will have had mono in the past. But doctors and researchers don&#8217;t yet understand that the virus is still present, continuing to wreak havoc on people&#8217;s health and wellbeing. That&#8217;s because these viruses go through stages as they progress through the body, and medicine can only detect them in stage two, the blood infection phase known as mono. After the blood infection phase, they move into organs like the liver and thyroid where current scientific methods can&#8217;t detect them. Doctors see the IgG antibodies and think the viruses are in the past, but really they&#8217;ve just moved to the next stage.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

He has been speaking on these topics as well going back decades.</figcaption></figure></div><p>But they still have no idea how far the viral explosion goes and how much damage these bugs are responsible for. The factors and forces preventing them from making these connections run deep and will be saved for another post.</p><p>It wasn&#8217;t true a few decades ago, but now everyone has these viruses living in them. Many factors determine when people develop symptoms, including how aggressive their viruses are, how many metals and other toxins they have in their system, what their diet and nutrient reserves are like, how many immune-draining triggers like mold or emotional hardship they face, and more.</p><p>Part of why is because viruses eat, and some things really fuel them.</p><h3>#2: Heavy Metals</h3><p>We are exposed to heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, cadmium, nickel and others constantly and from a wide variety of sources. Some include industrial chemical disposal into our atmosphere, pharmaceuticals and certain medical treatments, and the pesticides we get on our foods and which drift from farms, golf courses, and parks into our neighborhoods. We even get metals from our cookware: look at the bottom of a well-used stainless steel pan; those scratches are metals coming off and ending up in your food.</p><p>Metals have their own ill effects on our bodies (Alzheimer&#8217;s, dementia, and autism are all caused by metals in the brain, as are many cases of depression), but they are also a favored fuel for viruses.</p><p>After viruses eat these metals, they excrete an even more toxic version of them in the form of a neurotoxin or dermatoxin depending on the metal. For instance, when a virus feeds on mercury, it can create neurotoxins that irritate the central nervous system and result in fatigue and brain fog; and when it feeds on copper, it can create dermatoxins that rise to the skin and create conditions like eczema and psoriasis.</p><h3>#3: DDT (and other pest- herb- and fungicides)</h3><p>DDT used to be used ubiquitously, considered so safe that it was sprayed in thick clouds in lunchrooms while children ate.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2021-04-14/toxic-legacy-of-ddt-can-harm-granddaughters-of-women-exposed" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ynSx!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ynSx!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ynSx!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ynSx!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ynSx!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg" width="1200" height="944" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/96df09c0-a676-445f-bf3c-c56fce8aad48_1200x944.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:944,&quot;width&quot;:1200,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;A truck sprays DDT in 1945 to eliminate mosquitoes on Jones Beach on Long Island. &quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2021-04-14/toxic-legacy-of-ddt-can-harm-granddaughters-of-women-exposed&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="A truck sprays DDT in 1945 to eliminate mosquitoes on Jones Beach on Long Island.

But more than that, toxins like DDT are passed down through family lines; we inherit them from our parents. This is much of why conditions like depression, often caused by heavy metals in the brain, tend to run in families. Viruses can be passed down as well, which is part of why cancers and other viral conditions tend to run in families too. It&#8217;s not our genes and never was.</p><h3>#4: Radiation</h3><p>Radiation is also ubiquitous and hangs around for centuries. Air travel is a significant source: besides the radiation you absorb as the plane moves through the upper atmosphere, what people don&#8217;t realize is that when you put your luggage in the scanner, it is loaded up with radiation which is then absorbed by anything that comes near it. Other sources of radiation include medical scans like x-rays, as well as all of the less potent electromagnetic radiation we are exposed to from microwaves and cell phones and power lines. It is also passed down through family lines from parent to child, and in our recent history radiation was used incredibly carelessly (read about <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope">shoe-fitting fluoroscopes</a> - it&#8217;s insane).</p><p>Radiation drains our cells of their vitality and accelerates the aging process. It also lowers the immune system, helping viruses to proliferate. See more <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/troublemakers-that-make-us-sick-radiation">here</a>.</p><h3>Honorable Mentions</h3><h4><strong>Adrenaline</strong></h4><p>Adrenaline is a vital and lifesaving hormone. It&#8217;s not actually just one thing either - our adrenals produce 56 different blends of adrenaline tailored for all of our various activities as we go through life. It&#8217;s involved in everything we do, from eating to exercising, crying, driving, and sleeping. The problem is when we produce too much.</p><p>Part of what drives us to produce too much is that we are under constant stress. Rather than the short bursts to outrun a predator that our ancestors needed in the past, in modern times people face a non-stop barrage of demands and stimulation that pushes our adrenals to be constantly pumping, and without any of the long periods of rest to recover afterwards that we used to have.</p><p>That&#8217;s the other thing that drives too much adrenaline: when so much demand is put on our adrenals, they start to fatigue and weaken, and this is when they can start to behave erratically, as if having a nervous breakdown. This erratic behavior translates to under-production and over-production of adrenaline; our adrenals stop being able to respond carefully and precisely, and instead will produce way too much or way too little for the task at hand.</p><p>Adrenaline is an inherently corrosive substance, and when too much is coursing through our system, it burns out our immune cells and neurotransmitters. It also puts a burden on the liver to soak up and contain all of it to protect our other organs from its negative effects. And on top of that, viruses can also feed on it - particularly its toxic forms released during negative experiences - and it is one of their favorite fuels*. Because of this, it&#8217;s critical to minimize adrenaline and stress as much as you can when healing from chronic illness.</p><h6>(* shingles viruses in particular were raised to thrive on adrenaline)</h6><h4><strong>Deficiencies</strong></h4><p>Modern diets tend to be full of junk and filler foods like cheap oils, high fructose corn syrup, and processed grain products; people eat much too little nutritious food to begin with. But compounding the problem is that even the nutrient rich foods people do eat are less nutritious than they were in the past. This is well established, though not often talked about:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/science/a-decline-in-the-nutritional-value-of-crops.html" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png" width="475" height="120.64586357039187" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:175,&quot;width&quot;:689,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:475,&quot;bytes&quot;:19166,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/science/a-decline-in-the-nutritional-value-of-crops.html&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZeAZ!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5ff6c979-5330-42f0-bdb9-a09599136a32_689x175.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Part of the problem is industrial agriculture - chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and monocropping all contribute to soil depletion and less nutritious food. We are also cultivating varieties of food that are less nutritious than others - varieties chosen for the advantages they provide to the grower and seller rather than for nutrition.</p><p>But on top of that, our crops are receiving less and less sunlight due to the increasing pollution in our atmosphere. This pollution also contaminates our rainwater, which used to be incredibly nutritious and live-giving for plants but is now diminished in its power.</p><p>The result is that we are growing increasingly deficient in the whole spectrum of nutrients: vitamins and minerals but also all kinds of undiscovered trace minerals and phytochemical compounds our bodies need to maintain our health. Zinc in particular has become almost non-existent in our soils because of heavy DDT use, and nearly everyone today is lacking*. </p><p>Adding to this challenge is that our bodies are under toxic loads like they have never been before, and these vital nutrients are expended and used up more rapidly than in the past as our bodies work to protect us against these exposures. Zinc for instance is <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/zinc-essential-mineral-for-health">responsible for all of the liver&#8217;s 2000+ chemical functions</a>, and a deficit can leave you vulnerable for a virus to really proliferate.</p><p>As with toxins, we also inherit nutrient stores from our parents. and organs like the liver have an extraordinarily deep intelligence around properly allocating them depending on what we&#8217;re up against individually. But even with these incredible capacities, we are still becoming deficient, and it is more important than ever to do what we can to give our bodies what they need and keep up our nutrient stores - more on that below.</p><h6>(* A quick way to gauge your zinc levels is to look at your half moons - if your half moons or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunula_%28anatomy%29">lunulae</a> are barely visible, there&#8217;s a good chance you are deficient in zinc.)</h6><h4>Strep</h4><p>Medical communities know about streptococcus A and B, but aren&#8217;t aware that there are actually more than 50 groups of strep bacteria, and that they are responsible for a whole host of symptoms and conditions like UTIs, SIBO, acid reflux, chronic sinusitis, acne, fatigue, and confusion.</p><p>Strep tends to be a co-factor to viruses because it proliferates when the immune system is distracted and knocked down. Lowering any viral load you may have is the most impactful thing you could do to start ridding yourself of strep. See more on strep <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/streptococcus-revealed">here</a>.</p><h2>What to do about it</h2><p>Okay, so if the above seemed overwhelming, rest assured - there&#8217;s actually a lot that we can do to support our bodies and restore or maintain good health.</p><p>These are the main components to getting and staying healthy:</p><ol><li><p>Lower viral load</p></li><li><p>Lower toxin load</p></li><li><p>Eat an abundance of what the body needs to heal itself</p></li></ol><p>Here&#8217;s how:</p><h4><strong>The Holy Four</strong></h4><p>The Holy Four of fruits, vegetables, herbs + spices, and wild foods are the antidotes to the Unforgiving Four. These God-given foods provide us with the discovered and undiscovered vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that our bodies need to fight off pathogens and detoxify poisons, as well as to strengthen and heal our organs, nerves, and body systems.</p><p>In particular:</p><h4><strong>Celery Juice</strong></h4><p>MM says that if people can only do one thing, do celery juice. Celery juice helps with just about everything: restoring our adrenals, breaking down pathogens like EBV and strep, deactivating metals and other toxins and flushing them out of the liver, restoring our hydrochloric acid and bile production so we can digest better, and the list goes on. MM says it is like liquid gold.</p><p>Here are <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-celery-juice">some details</a> on how to start with celery juice as well as FAQs.</p><h4>Fruit</h4><p>There&#8217;s a lot of concern around eating fruit today - one of the biggest health trends right now, the keto diet, almost completely eschews it, except maybe for a handful of berries and other low glycemic fruits. The fear comes from concerns about sugar, which <em>is </em>bad in its industrial, processed forms. Through processing, industrial sugars are isolated and denatured, stripped of the health promoting vitamins, minerals, and cofactor compounds that you find in abundance in whole sources of sugar like fruits.</p><p>But this isolated, processed sugar isn&#8217;t even <em>that</em> bad for us - not nearly as bad as the other common troublemaker foods and additives discussed below. It&#8217;s the other ingredients in processed foods like gluten, corn, industrial oils, and dairy that are the real contributors to our skyrocketing rates of chronic disease. Sugar is just the convenient scapegoat - for many reasons, including getting people off fruit. </p><p>The truth is that the body runs on carbs - Critical Clean Carbohydrates - and fruits are one of the best sources of them. You can read more about fruit fear <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/fruit-fear-they-lied-to-you">here</a>.</p><h4>HMDS</h4><p>The absolute best way to rid your body of toxic heavy metals and repair the damage they&#8217;ve caused is to consume the following five key ingredients every day: fresh cilantro, spirulina, barley grass juice powder (BGJP), wild blueberries, and atlantic dulse.</p><p>These ingredients work together to bind to free floating and deeply rooted metals and hold onto them, picking them up and escorting them all the way out of your body. These compounds are gentle: they do not rip metals out that your body is not prepared to release. And importantly, when they do extract metals, these compounds simultaneously leave nutrients and healing phytochemicals in their place that help to repair tissue. If you&#8217;ve ever heard about bad experiences with chelators like EDTA, it&#8217;s because they do not have these properties.</p><p>If you want to remove metals from your brain, it is ideal to have these five ingredients together, but they will work together effectively to clear metals from the rest of your body if you consume them within a 24 hour period of each other. The recommended recipe combining them is the HMDS - Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. See the recipe and FAQs <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/mm101/medical-medium-heavy-metal-detox">here</a>.</p><p>Some symptoms can improve quickly, but it takes time to begin to cleanse the body of its deeper metal deposits that are surrounded by oxidative runoff as it takes time for these to surface. It&#8217;s critical to consume the HMDS regularly - ideally every day. Try to make the HMDS with all five ingredients, but if you don&#8217;t have all of them, make it with what you can - a smoothie with only a few of the five will still do you a great deal of good.</p><p>Note: </p><ul><li><p>The HMDS will also help to clear all kinds of other toxins and pollutants, like solvents, pesticides, and radiation. </p></li><li><p>Another tool to clear heavy metals in addition to the HMDS is the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/extractor-smoothie">Extractor Smoothie</a>. The Extractor Smoothie helps to clear the way and set the conditions for the HMDS to work even more effectively. It&#8217;s ideal to have the HMDS in the morning and the Extractor Smoothie in the afternoon.</p></li><li><p>If cilantro has a harsh taste to you, like soap, it&#8217;s a sign that you really need it. It is the result of a higher oxidative rate of metals in your body, which means more corroded runoff in your lymph and saliva that binds with the cilantro in your mouth as you eat it to produce the foul taste. It is not genetic, and can change over time as you clear the metals and the runoff. Start with what you can, even just a sprig, and slowly work your way up to the full serving.</p></li></ul><h4>Herbs and Supplements</h4><p>Herbs and supplements can be critical for recovering from chronic illness. Some people may not be too sick yet and can get better just by changing their diet. But others will need to take advantage of anti-viral and immune-supporting herbs and supplements in order to give their bodies enough of what they need to conquer their illnesses.</p><p>There are a handful of foundational supplements that are recommended for everyone. These help to provide some of the most critical nutrients that many are lacking, as well as to help our bodies detoxify, keep pathogens at bay, and keep our immune systems strong. You can see these baseline recommendations <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSMQCsOU4o/">here</a>.</p><p>It is good to get as much nutrition as you can from food, but supplements are a good idea on top of that. We are up against a lot, and many of us are very deficient.</p><p>Incorporate any supplements one at a time, starting at a low dose and working your way up depending on how you feel, slowing down or paring back if you experience too many symptoms. I would start with the baseline supplements and then progress to the books in order to see what other supplements are listed for your particular conditions. Be sure to read the chapters on supplement guidelines.</p><p>It is important to get high quality supplements - see the Resources section below for his directory listing good options. Avoid any tinctures containing alcohol.</p><h5>One note: our livers have to process supplements as well as the viral and bacterial die off that they create, and so if you have a lower level of liver function, too many supplements can overwhelm it and work against healing. Key nutritional supplements like B12, zinc, and Vitamin C are okay to bring in from the start (not too high a dose), but for the most part I would focus on food first, especially on bringing down overt fats for reasons you&#8217;ll see in the following section. As liver function improves, more supplementation can be gradually brought in. MM hasn&#8217;t spoken about this directly, but I&#8217;ve learned it from practitioners - more info on this in <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1kv2jvn/the_three_phases_of_the_healing_process/">this blog</a> as well as <a href="https://mandipalmer.newzenler.com/f/not-yet-healed-webinar">this webinar</a>.</h5><h4>Lowering Fat</h4><p>Even ordinary diets are very high in fat without people knowing it, but believers in trendy diets like keto or carnivore advocate for even more. The beliefs are that the body gets energy more efficiently from fat, that carbs are bad for you, that fats and foods high in them tend to be the most nutrient dense, and that the brain runs on fat. But this couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth.</p><p>The reality is that the body needs very little fat (or protein for that matter, which tends to come with a lot of fat), and the highest quality sources of the fats you do need are from fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens (which are all about 5-10% fat).</p><p>Additionally, too much fat in the diet has many negative effects. In the past, foods high in fats could be amazing survival foods when calories were hard to come by and there weren&#8217;t many toxins in the environment. But we are in a very different situation now: our bodies are up against toxic loads like never before in human history.</p><p>A few reasons why too much fat works against our health:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Caring for your liver</strong>: Our livers process all the fat we eat, so when it has to deal with a lot of fat, it means it can&#8217;t deal with anything else, and our detoxification process will be stopped and set aside as it struggles to keep up.</p></li><li><p><strong>Thick blood</strong>: Fats also thicken and clog up your blood stream, making it harder both for toxins to be cleared as well as for nutrients to be delivered into cells.</p></li><li><p><strong>Pathogens: </strong>Too much fat in the bloodstream lowers oxygen levels, which enables pathogens like viruses or strep to thrive. Fats are acidic as well, and pathogens prefer an acidic environment to an alkaline one.</p></li><li><p><strong>Adrenaline</strong>: Foods high in fat also require adrenaline in the process of digestion*, and so eating a lot of them puts a significant burden on your adrenals and body because of the adrenaline that needs to be released.</p></li><li><p><strong>Less room on your plate:</strong> On top of all of that, having significant amounts of fat in the diet crowds out much more healing foods.</p></li></ul><p>It&#8217;s ideal to aim for 15% or less of calories in your diet to come from healthy fats like coconut, avocado, and nuts or seeds like sesame or pumpkin seed. It&#8217;s best to avoid mixing fats and carbs, especially with grains, as the fats interfere with glucose absorption and insulin action. Some oils like olive or coconut are okay, but it&#8217;s best to limit them and stick to whole food sources of fat.</p><p>Fats are ideal to have with vegetables and leafy greens, like a tahini dressing over salad, or vegetable crudit&#233;s with guacamole. Try to limit fats to dinner if you do have them to allow your body to cleanse during the day. And to really assist your body and liver in cleansing and recovering, eliminate radical fats - foods where the majority of calories are from fat, like oils, nuts, meat, dairy, eggs, olives, coconut, and avocado - completely.</p><h5>(* avocado is the exception and its fats do not require adrenaline in this way)</h5><h5><strong>Note</strong>: some people can feel better and experience positive results on high fat diets like keto because they are often cleaner than their old way of eating. For instance, a diet high in fat from whole foods is better than a diet high in fat from processed foods, and that difference can be enough to give people some positive changes if their livers aren&#8217;t too overburdened. High fat diets also lead to a lot of adrenaline coursing through the body, and this continually-stoked adrenaline high can cover up a lot of symptoms - until the eventual crash, anyway.</h5><h4>Troublemaker Foods</h4><p>Certain foods and food additives work against our health. This can be because they&#8217;re toxic themselves, or because they feed pathogens*. Here are some of the top troublemakers to avoid:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

to avoid if you have any kind of viral or pathogen-related condition because they are especially favored foods for viruses as well as bacteria like strep.</p><p>Some that aren&#8217;t on this list to also avoid: alcohol, vinegar**, aspartame, caffeine, tuna, industrial food oils, kombucha, nutritional yeast, bone broth, problematic fish and seafood (see below for the best choices), lamb, salt (even high-quality versions), and fermented foods. Each of these is detailed in depth in the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Medical-Medium-Protocols-Cleanses-Recipes/dp/1401971334">Brain Saver Protocols book</a>.</p><p>There are also many troublemaker supplements listed in Brain Saver Protocols - for now, for the sake of brevity, if you haven&#8217;t seen it recommended by him in one of the books or online materials, assume it is not good. Be careful about quality and sneaky additives in supplements - see Resources below for further guidance.</p><p>Certain foods are not particularly harmful, but they will not help you nearly as much as the Holy Four foods and so are called filler foods. These include gluten-free grains like rice and millet (millet is the best choice of grain), beans including black beans and chickpeas, as well as nuts, seeds, and certain meats. Meat is high in fat so is ideal to reduce, but it will not feed pathogens like eggs or gluten will***, and so can be an okay filler food. Avoid meats that come from factory farms as they are particularly high in toxins. The best options for meat are grass fed beef; free-range, organic chicken; free-range, organic turkey; or wild game. The best choices for fish are wild haddock, wild halibut, wild mackerel, wild salmon, wild sardines, and wild trout. Choose cuts that have lesser amounts of fat if you can.</p><p>However, it is important to avoid organ meats like liver. Advocates are correct for instance that liver is packed with nutrients, but what they don&#8217;t realize is that these nutrients are processed and stored for the animal, and are not usable by the human body. And worse, an animal&#8217;s liver contains high levels of the toxins that the animal was exposed to throughout its life. Though it can seem wasteful, you are much better off avoiding these meats. There is more information on this <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/b12-trick-or-treat-you-dont-get-it-from-meat">here</a>.</p><h5>(* for example, many prevalent strains of viruses were <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krbIdBRWvLA">raised on eggs in labs</a>, and they are highly adapted to them)</h5><h5>(** apple cider vinegar is the best choice among vinegars, but it&#8217;s still very harsh on the liver)</h5><h5>(*** this is why people can see some results with very restrictive elimination diets like the carnivore diet)</h5><h5><strong>Important update</strong>: MM has warned that a very bad strain of bird flu will spread to humans at some point in the coming years, and has said that the absolute best precaution against this flu is to stop eating birds. Bird flu feeds on bird flesh, and when we eat birds, residue from their tissues will stay in our systems for months. He advised to avoid eating all birds for at least the next six months (remarks were in late Feb 2025). This strain will have high mortality, and so because of this risk, birds are likely the most important food to avoid. See more <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/comments/1ir70bn/085_bird_flu_stop_eating_chicken_episode_notes/">here</a>.</h5><h4>Hydration</h4><p>Though they may not realize it or feel particularly thirsty, most people today live in a state of chronic dehydration. It&#8217;s not just a matter of not drinking enough water each day - there&#8217;s also a lot that we don&#8217;t realize we have to make up for. </p><p>One problem is that many popular beverages and substances like coffee are actually dehydrating. The high-fat and high-protein diets most of us grew up on are also very dehydrating. And on top of all that, the toxins and pathogens we have inside of us are dehydrating as well. </p><p>But it even goes beyond what&#8217;s happened in our lifetimes. In addition to the toxins and nutrients we can inherit, we also inherit the hydration status of our lineage. There&#8217;s a lot that we have to make up for.</p><p>The best way to get hydrated is to drink plenty of living, structured water. This bioactive water is more easily assimilated into our cells, and travels deeper into our tissues as it carries the nutrients and compounds our bodies need. The best sources of this living water are fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, especially when made into a juice like cucumber juice or celery juice.</p><p>Another top way to get living water is to make lemon water. Adding the living water from the lemon activates the rest of the water as it remembers its innate structure. It is important to be sure the water you use does not have chlorine, as even small amounts can render the water dehydrating. A water filter is important and you can see the recommended options on the directory linked in the Resources section.</p><p>Though they have great benefits, neither cooked foods nor herbal teas are hydrating - once water has been heated, it loses its structure and bioactivity. For an alternative to hot tea, you can steep fresh herbs in room temperature water for six hours or more on the countertop to have a hydrating tea that still has the benefits of its heated counterpart.</p><p>Because they do not have hydrating water, I find it can be important to pair cooked foods with some raw foods so that they do not have to pull too much water from other parts of your body in the process of digestion. (Note: it is not recommended to drink liquids shortly before, during, or after eating, as these will excessively dilute your stomach acids and lead to poor digestion.)</p><p>Chronic dehydration leads to many ill health effects, including thicker blood. Thicker blood makes it harder to remove toxins, and it also becomes lower in oxygen content, enabling pathogens to thrive.</p><p>Becoming more hydrated is especially important for anyone suffering from a neurological condition or who has been under intense stress to be able to recover and heal.</p><h4>Avoiding New Exposures</h4><p>Our world is full of toxins. Some are beyond our control, but many are possible to limit or avoid entirely, and doing what you reasonably can to limit your exposures will help speed up the healing process. Some common sources:</p><ul><li><p><strong><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/air-fresheners-scented-candles-colognes-perfumes">Fragrances</a></strong>: avoid using cleaning or personal products that contain fragrances such as dryer sheets, scented candles, or perfumes. These are synthetic, petrochemical-derived substances that last an incredibly long time, and are extremely harsh on the body. MM says that fragrances are vaporized metals, and that breathing them in from a plug-in air freshener for many hours a day is worse for you than smoking cigarettes. Products with pure essential oils are okay, but if you diffuse essential oils, be sure to do so sparingly and in small amounts - using too much can encourage mold growth as they do not dissipate themselves and will begin to create a film on whatever surfaces they end up on.</p></li><li><p><strong>Drugs</strong>: both pharmaceutical and recreational drugs contain significant levels of heavy metals and other toxic substances. Work with your doctor to see about possibilities for reducing medications as you heal the underlying issues, and avoid using recreational drugs. Marijuana in particular is <a href="https://futurism.com/neoscope/scientists-weed-heavy-metals">extremely high in heavy metals</a> - this is the reason it <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/cannabis-induced-psychosis">causes schizophrenia</a>. Avoid psychedelic drugs as well, even the natural ones like psychedelic mushrooms or ayahuasca. Though people can sometimes find positive psychological effects and insights from their experiences with them, the altered states these drugs produce owe to the reality that they are damaging the brain. Some experience these negative health effects immediately and are debilitated after their first or second trip, but for most these effects will take time to manifest. We will look back at the current resurgence in popularity of psychedelics as a horrible turn for human health and well-being.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/troublemakers-that-make-us-sick-petrochemicals">Fumes</a></strong>: off-gassing VOCs and fumes from solvents and other chemicals are extremely toxic - avoid them and similar as much as you can. This includes things like paint, gasoline, and lighter fluid as well as things like conventional carpet cleaning and dry cleaning chemicals.</p></li><li><p><strong>Pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides</strong>: people know that it&#8217;s best to buy organic when you can to reduce the amount of pesticides and herbicides they ingest, but other sources may surprise you. For instance, new clothes are loaded with fungicides in order to prevent mold growth as the clothes are shipped and stored, and so it&#8217;s important to be sure they&#8217;ve been washed before wearing them. There is also <a href="https://icandecide.org/press-release/ican-obtains-records-showing-the-u-s-military-sprays-toxic-pesticides-in-u-s-residential-areas/">aerial insecticide spraying</a> late at night (if you&#8217;ve ever smelled a strong odor late at night, even if it&#8217;s pleasant like a wood-fired BBQ, this is likely what it was), and because of this it&#8217;s important to sleep with your windows closed. One more thing to be aware of is that areas like golf courses tend to be heavily sprayed on a regular basis, and so it is best to wear pants and closed-toe shoes in order to limit exposure. If pregnant, avoid golf courses entirely.</p></li><li><p><strong><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/troublemakers-that-make-us-sick-radiation">Radiation</a></strong>: Limit air travel and discard luggage that has been through the TSA scanners multiple times (3 times max for the carry on scanners; 6 for the baggage claim scanners). To the extent that you reasonably can, keep distance from luggage that has been through scanners - this is especially important for young children. You can even pick up radiation from people who have been through medical scanners recently, like an X-ray or CT scan. WiFi, microwaves, and cell phones are other sources of EMF radiation to minimize as much as you can as well. Try as much as you can to avoid holding your phone and instead use a stand while you do use it, and keep it on speaker so that you don&#8217;t have to put it near your head.</p></li><li><p><strong>Pathogens</strong>: we can pick up bugs from so many sources - grocery stores, public restrooms, restaurants, new sexual partners and more. Even packages tend to be covered in pathogens that they pick up en route from the many hands that touch them. It is important to avoid these bugs, as fighting them puts a big strain on your immune system and distracts it from fighting everything else it is up against. Practice good hygiene and wash your hands frequently, especially after touching surfaces that many others have touched, and avoid touching your face when your hands might not be clean. I keep a small bottle of hydrogen peroxide spray in my car to clean my hands after getting groceries as well as latex gloves to use at the gas pump.</p></li></ul><h4>Grazing</h4><p>About an hour and a half to two hours after eating, our blood sugar drops and our adrenals have to fill in with adrenaline to keep our bodies working. This adrenaline is harmful when you&#8217;re dealing with a chronic condition, and so it is best to minimize it to the extent you can. A good way is by eating something every hour and a half to two hours, a practice called grazing. Your meal should at least include some glucose, and ideally would include glucose, potassium, and sodium as a way to keep your body balanced. See more about adrenal snacks <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/10-snacks-for-adrenal-health">here</a>.</p><h4>Depleting Practices to Minimize When Healing</h4><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/blood-draw-bloodletting-vampirism">Blood Draws</a></p></li><li><p>Frequent ejaculation - depletes zinc and vital trace minerals</p></li><li><p>Excessive stimulation (scary movies, adrenaline sports, pornography, etc - all produce too much adrenaline)</p></li><li><p>Adrenalizing practices (cold showers, intense breathwork, etc)</p></li></ul><h1>So where to start?</h1><p>Okay, that was a lot &#8211; but you don&#8217;t have to do it all overnight.</p><p>Switching over to this lifestyle can sometimes feel overwhelming and restrictive. We have an emotional connection to many of the foods and practices we grew up with, and our dietary patterns are very enmeshed with the rest of our lives, especially our social lives. It can be hard to change, and it&#8217;s important to give yourself some credit for that and cut yourself as much slack as you need.</p><p>The thing that matters is sustainable change over time. If that happens over a few months or even years, that&#8217;s okay. Work with yourself, and do only as much as feels comfortable and right to you for your situation and needs. And, too, look for ways you can find joy in these new routines and traditions.</p><p>I&#8217;d recommend starting small and building your way up rather than trying to change a lot all at once. One good place to start might be the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/medical-medium-morning-cleanse">morning cleanse</a>, as people tend to have more time and energy in the mornings. Or if that feels like too much, pick one or two healing tools that seem very doable to you, like lemon water, celery juice, or fruit breakfasts, and start with those, otherwise keeping the rest of your routine as is. Once that routine begins to feel easy and you want to take on more, try adding in another thing, like the HMDS or an adrenal snack. Some days you may want to do more, but you always have the option to just keep with the basic routine you are building up if things start to feel challenging.</p><p>Another thing that can help in the beginning is to think of adding health promoting foods in rather than cutting unproductive ones out. I often see people try to avoid all of the unproductive foods right out of the gate completely, and go hungry because they have no idea what to eat.</p><p>The goal is to over time phase out the unproductive foods and fill your diet instead with an abundance of Holy Four healing foods. Low in fat, high in fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens, with lots and lots of fluids like lemon water, celery juice, and cucumber juice.</p><p>Beyond diet, some lifestyle swaps are relatively easy and very impactful and so can be good things to begin with. Work on switching out household chemicals like scented laundry or personal care products for safer alternatives like unscented wool dryer balls. Many great safe alternatives are listed at the link under the Resources section below.</p><h3>Some Practical Tips and Advice</h3><ul><li><p>A good practice I&#8217;ve found for myself is to aim to try a new <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/medical-medium-categories/recipes">recipe</a> every week. This helps me to keep developing skills in the kitchen and also to create some more variety and fun in my cooking. I&#8217;d recommend only trying out involved recipes when you have a lot of energy, and otherwise would stick to simpler, tried-and-true meals. I generally only make a more complicated recipe once or twice a week, and otherwise just have smoothies, fruit, juices, raw soups. and (my favorite lately) salads of red leaf lettuce, tomatoes, and onion with steamed potatoes, cayenne, honey, and lime.</p></li><li><p>Another important point: most people who struggle on this diet do so because they don&#8217;t eat enough. The diets most of us are coming from are much higher in calorie dense foods, and so we can end up eating far too few calories if we still follow the same eating patterns. You need to eat more frequently and in much larger portions than you&#8217;re used to. Make sure to bring in some of the more calorie dense foods like bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and dates. You can have four or more bananas in a smoothie to really up the calories. And try to always have something in front of you to eat - I make a big plate of apples, dates, and celery to have at my desk throughout the day in between meals.</p></li></ul><h3>Resources</h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/preferred/supplements">MM preferred products directory</a>: this lists foods, supplements, as well as home and personal care products that are the highest quality and safest available. Sometimes brands will be dropped because of a changed practice, so it is good to check periodically. Some supplements are expensive and it can seem economical to get a cheaper version, but note that MM has said that even smaller amounts of a higher quality supplement will do much more good for you than larger amounts of a low quality supplement.</p></li><li><p>Similarly, here is his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/medicalmedium">amazon page</a>.</p></li><li><p>There are many great online communities focused around MM. One is the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalmedium/">Reddit community</a>. There is also a great community on Instagram - a few accounts I love are from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/healwithamber/">Amber</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nevshealth/">Nev</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/umashealing/">Uma</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/diy.heal/">Laura</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loveinhealing/">Candice</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/girlgonewildblues/">Amanda</a> (who has amazing and incredibly creative recipes).</p></li><li><p>Another great resource that compiles a ton of great information and promotes many community efforts and events is the MMFriendly <a href="https://mmfriendly.substack.com/">newsletter</a> and <a href="https://mmfriendly.com/">website</a>.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/underdogwarriors/">Underdog Warriors</a> may be a helpful resource to those in difficult financial situations. The MM Friendly website also has a great compilation of resources for how to heal on a budget - see <a href="https://mmfriendly.com/guides/">here</a> under the Shopping section.</p><p></p></li></ul><h4>Further Tips:</h4><ul><li><p>If pregnant, be sure to be very careful about what you consume as some things are not okay to take while pregnant. Cat&#8217;s claw and goldenseal are two that come to mind that pregnant women should avoid, but there are more.</p></li><li><p>Certain conditions take less time to heal than others. In general, skin issues are the quickest to resolve, while neurological symptoms take the longest to heal. Issues relating to the organs, like adrenal fatigue or liver issues, tend to be somewhere in between. You should see noticeable improvement in at least some of your symptoms within the first few months. Working with a knowledgeable MM practitioner can also be a great support, and many will offer free introductory calls.</p></li><li><p>There are many spiritual meditations and emotional techniques as well. These include the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/medical-medium-collecting-stones-meditation">collecting stones meditation</a>, the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/moon-meditation-healing-emotional-wounds">full moon meditation</a>, and others. There is also much information about the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/essential-angels-info-graphic">angels</a> that are here to help humanity and watch over us.</p></li><li><p>Even seven years into this, I am still finding it very important and helpful to refer back to the information. There is so much knowledge, and you always pick up new things as you read and re-read. I&#8217;d try to make a habit of reading a blog article or chapter from the books every day or as often as you can.</p></li><li><p>Some people are very sensitive. If you think you might be, start very small with things like celery juice, the HMDS, and supplements, and work your way up. If you do not think you are sensitive, I would still start with half of the recommended dosage to see how your body responds and work your way up.</p></li><li><p>For people with very difficult gut issues that put challenging limits on what they can eat, the <a href="https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/medical-medium-mono-eating-cleanse-what-to-consume">Mono Cleanse</a> can be very helpful.</p></li></ul><p></p><p>Some common conditions and their causes:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Acne:</strong> caused by strep bacteria. This can get worse when you kill strep off, as much of the dead bacteria will saturate the lymph and surface through the skin. If this happens, keep going - it will get better.</p></li><li><p><strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s and Dementia:</strong> caused by heavy metal deposits in the brain which oxidize over time, saturating and damaging surrounding tissue.</p></li><li><p><strong>Anemia:</strong> almost every case is due to a low grade viral infection feeding on the iron in hemoglobin. Because of this, it is important to avoid iron supplements that are not plant based as these will continue to feed the infection. Opt instead for whole food sources of iron that are rich in compounds that also repel viruses, like spinach or spirulina.</p></li><li><p><strong>Brain Fog:</strong> caused by neurotoxins and heavy metal deposits inflaming nerves and shorting out neurotransmitters.</p></li><li><p><strong>Dandruff:</strong> caused by a sluggish and stagnant liver.</p></li><li><p><strong>Type II Diabetes:</strong> caused by excess fat in the blood and body creating insulin resistance.</p></li><li><p><strong>Eczema:</strong> caused by viral dermatoxins released by a virus feeding on a metal like copper.</p></li><li><p><strong>Excess weight:</strong> caused by an overburdened liver that is falling behind on its duty of storing and processing fat cells and toxins, which then spill over and collect in various parts of the body.</p></li><li><p><strong>Eye floaters:</strong> these are caused by viral neurotoxins and toxic heavy metals saturating eye tissue.</p></li><li><p><strong>Gut Issues:</strong> usually caused by strep bacteria, but sometimes can be another bacteria like h. pylori or e. coli, or a viral strain such as shingles causing colitis.</p></li><li><p><strong>Heart palpitations:</strong> this is sometimes neurological, the result of neurotoxins inflaming the brain and vagus nerve, but can also be due to the liver becoming saturated with a jelly-like viral byproduct to the point of spilling over into blood. The palpitations occur when globs of the jelly break off and momentarily clog heart valves.</p></li><li><p><strong>High cholesterol:</strong> this is caused by an overburdened liver that is falling behind on its duties to process bad (LDL) cholesterol. (Low good (HDL) cholesterol is also caused by an overburdened liver, as the liver is responsible for producing it.)</p></li><li><p><strong>Neurological problems</strong>: caused by viruses, viral neurotoxins, and/or heavy metal deposits inflaming the brain and nervous system.</p></li><li><p>For more, google &#8220;Medical Medium &lt;condition&gt;&#8221; and see if a blog post shows up.</p></li></ul><p>There&#8217;s more information but those are the essentials to get started.
