Overview

This episode features a candid and high-paced conversation between host Jennifer Cohen and Anthony William, best known as the “Medical Medium.” Anthony is known for sharing medical and health information he claims to receive from a spiritual voice he calls the "Spirit of Compassion." The episode delves into his views on controversial health topics such as heavy metals, chronic illness, blood testing, the dangers of certain common health practices, and the origin of his information. Anthony also addresses the controversy surrounding his work, his healing impact, and his distinctive life path guided by Spirit.

Main Discussion Points

1. Controversy and Public Response

• Polarizing Figure:
  Anthony is aware of being divisive:

  “People either love you or freaking hate me… hate you so much they want me dead.” (00:45, Anthony William)
  He recounts receiving death threats and attributes this to the disruption his information causes in health, wellness, and medical industries.

• Why the Hate?
  William explains that healing a small number of people is celebrated, but broad, transformative healing creates backlash:

  “You’re just not allowed to heal a lot of people…if you do, you’re gonna get some hate.” (01:21, Anthony William)
  Some of his messaging (e.g., challenging blood testing and revealing dangers of fragrances, scented candles) stirs controversy and attracts both followers and critics.

2. Blood Testing: Dangers and Alternatives

• Why Blood Draws Can Be Harmful:
  William asserts that repeated blood draws, especially for the chronically ill or those with immune-compromised conditions, are damaging:

  “Their immune system, that they need to protect them so they don’t get sicker, is leaving their body in the vials of blood that’s being drawn.” (04:38, Anthony William)

• Myth Busting: Immune System Location
  He disputes the narrative that the immune system is primarily in the gut:

  “The immune system is in your freaking bloodstream.” (05:19, Anthony William)
  He claims the gut-centric story was pushed by probiotic companies for marketing.

• The Trap of Blood Tests:
  Multiple, large-volume blood draws, especially for patients with chronic illnesses, perpetuate their illnesses by depleting immune resources:

  “Until you’re bedridden, until you’re on mattress island now and sicker than ever…” (08:14, Anthony William)

• Industry Motives:
  Anthony makes the provocative claim that the medical industry “steals” blood for unclear reasons:

  “Because they’re stealing the blood. The doctor isn’t, but the industry is.” (09:14, Anthony William)

3. Chemtrails, Environmental Toxins, and Metals

• Chemtrails Explanation:
  William asserts that chemical industries are disposing of chemical byproducts via airplanes (“chemtrails”):

  “All these chemicals are being pumped into trucks, brought to planes, filled up with containers…and dropped on everybody slowly.” (14:22, Anthony William)

• Beyond Geoengineering:
  He distinguishes between weather manipulation (“geoengineering”) and the mass dumping of toxic chemicals by private industry.

• Health Impact:
  These toxins are linked to rising chronic illnesses, such as asthma and neurological problems:

  “It’s a lot of metal falling out of the sky. Mercury, lead, you know, arsenic just dropping out of the sky every day.” (19:33, Anthony William)

4. Source of Information: Spirit of Compassion

• Hearing Voices:
  Anthony discusses his lifelong guidance by a voice he calls “Spirit of Compassion”:

  “Age four, yeah, I heard a voice… this voice was talking about advanced medical information. And I’ve had to dedicate my whole life to that very thing.” (21:08, Anthony William)

• Medical Intuition:
  He claims that specific medical insights—heavy metals causing brain and autoimmune issues, dangers of blood draws, and certain food properties—originated from the voice, not from conventional science.

• Nature of the Voice:

  “It's a man's voice. And it’s not in my head. I wish it was. It’s on the outside, so I could block it. And I hear it mostly in the right ear.” (42:19, Anthony William)

5. Healing Chronic Illness

• Scope of Healing:
  William insists that “millions” have been healed by his protocols, which are not designed for quick financial gain or mass advertising:

  “More people healed than anything else in the world is medical medium information.” (23:42, Anthony William)

• Word of Mouth vs. Industry:

  “It’s word of mouth. But word of mouth is like this: I healed. I heal doing this, you know, try this.” (25:11, Anthony William)
  He says he avoids ad campaigns and mainstream influencer marketing, which makes the information harder to find but more genuine.

6. Debunking Parasite Crazes

• Fraudulent “Parasite Cleanses”:
  Anthony argues the wellness parasite trend is “a fraud” and confuses true parasitic infections (acute, dangerous) with the chronic illnesses caused by viruses and other pathogens:

  “People get parasites all the time, but they… get killed off by their own body. But you can’t have it both ways. You can’t be living with one and sick with one for 10 years.” (29:53, Anthony William)
  He claims the parasite supplement industry is misleading and that many symptoms are due to stealth viruses or heavy metals.

7. Dietary Advice & Superfoods

• Keep Fats Low

  “Everybody’s fatting themselves to death because every meal has fucking fat in it… They’re burdening their liver down.” (54:30, Anthony William)

• Balanced Protein Philosophy

  “Medical medium info is for both… you can do animal protein and plant based.” (55:09, Anthony William)
  He advocates low-fat, high-nutrient, and fruit- and vegetable-centric diets whether animal or plant-based.

• Anti-Fermentation & Supplement Stances
  Warns against high-fat diets, overuse of protein powders, and fermented foods:

  “Fermented food is not good for you… it’s death. It’s not good for your gut.” (48:39, Anthony William)

• Vitamin D and Omega-3 Myths
  Claims the vitamin D “craze” was overhyped—keep doses low, but B12 is crucial:

  “B12 is critical. I’m just giving you one. Everybody should be on B12.” (58:22, Anthony William)

• Specific Foods for Healing:

  • Wild Blueberries: “They remove so many metals from the brain.” (78:10, Anthony William)
  • Mulberries: “Loaded with the antioxidants…roots go deep into the earth.” (78:00, Anthony William)
  • Mangoes: “Mangoes are life changing when it comes to our emotional health… the glucose to the brain from mangoes is a big deal.” (63:53, Anthony William)

• Spinach & Tomatoes:

  • “Tomatoes are good for you. Amazing.” (81:54, Anthony William)
  • “Raw spinach is so good… Spinach soup is beautiful.” (81:55, Anthony William)

8. Heavy Metals, Brain Fog, OCD, and ADHD

• Heavy Metals in The Brain:
  William claims chronic and mysterious symptoms—OCD, brain fog, ADHD—are due to toxic metal build-up forming alloys under brain “heat.”

  “Getting the metals out, getting the medals. OCD is the repetitive hitting of an electrical impulse going through neurons and slamming into a pocket of metal…” (69:38, Anthony William)

• Heavy Metal Detox Protocol:
  Five components: Spirulina, barley grass juice powder, cilantro, Atlantic dulse, wild blueberries (71:17, Anthony William).

• Impact on ADHD/ADD:

  “Such an easy one to fix… throw in some celery juice, heavy metal detox… Adhd, kiss it goodbye.” (72:57, Anthony William)

9. Celery Juice & Wellness Trends

• On The Celery Juice Movement:
  William says he started the celery juice craze, but it remains controversial because it’s not a money-maker for marketers.

  “Everybody was like, yeah, celery juice, it’s healing me. And then every single supermodel and every single influencer… I’m not talking about the celery juice no more because no one makes a penny off of it.” (84:06, Anthony William)

10. Personal Journey & Business Approach

• Rejects the Wellness Circuit:
  Declines many speaking, media, and Hollywood offers in order to focus on writing and supporting the chronically ill:

  “I'm in it for the chronically ill. I got their back. That’s all I care about.” (93:38, Anthony William)

• Book Sales and Organic Growth:
  William boasts millions of books sold—without PR, big ads, or ghostwriting:

  “All of it is organic. All of it is really, really grassroots.” (51:19, Anthony William)
  He predicts future health books will be written by AI and lack substance.

11. Spiritual and Emotional Support

• Origin Story:
  Shared a pivotal moment when he rescued his drowning dog, guided by Spirit, and committed his life to the work (43:13–44:58).
