Back in December, as I flew into Aspen, Colorado, light snowflakes fluttered against the airplane like white dove feathers. No matter how majestic the snow-capped cliff tops were shuffling past my window, I was more engrossed in the life-changing book that I had stumbled upon called Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal. Within the first few pages, author Anthony William speaks of his ability to converse with high-level spirits, which communicate accurate and futuristic health diagnostics. On most occasions, I would be turned off by an impassioned author speaking about spirits so directly, however, William’s words resonated with me almost immediately.
His articulation about ailments and how you can actually heal your body are astounding. He has healed tens of thousands of people with his intuition, healing such issues as Epstein-Barr virus, lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic inflammation, adrenal fatigue and many more. A main concern and topic in the book focuses on our accumulation of heavy metals in the body. Exposure to heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead, etc. are detrimental to our health by acting as free radicals that oxidize in the body and deplete our antioxidant reserves. This causes numerous toxicological health effects, including cancer and nervous system damage. Unfortunately, we are all in contact with toxic heavy metals every day, and even if you live a perfectly clean life, it is almost impossible to completely avoid exposure. From occupational hazards, food and water, or even passed down from our parents through the bloodstream, we are all exposed to toxins.
However, William gives readers the power of knowledge to actually detox and remove these heavy metals with nutritious recipes. These recipes not only clear and rid the body of toxins, but actually taste fantastic. I was particularly drawn to his heavy metal detox smoothie recipe that utilizes such ingredients as cilantro, which reaches into the deepest crevices of the body and draws out mercury; Atlantic dulse, a vital seaweed that binds to serious metals in the digestive tract, primarily the colon; Hawaiian spirulina, a blue-green algae that extracts toxins from your central nervous system and liver; barley grass juice extract powder, a beneficial green that pulls heavy metals from your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system; and most importantly, wild Maine blueberries, which have some of the highest antioxidant properties of any other food on earth, repairing any gaps in the brain created by oxidation with phytonutrients and detoxification proficiency.
You can enjoy this smoothie for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or really whenever your body desires it. The recipes listed are House of Citrine’s take on Anthony William’s detox smoothie, plus some great nutritious drinks that are sure to improve your health and wellness.
