Anthony William's unbiased approach to fasting information

Anthony William introduces the episode as a comprehensive examination of all fasting types including dry fasting, positioning himself as offering unbiased information without selling fasting packages or supplements.

"Find out what's making you sick and how to heal. Anthony William is the medical medium. I'm Anthony William. You're listening to the Medical Medium radio show where each week I bring about the most advanced healing information decades ahead of what's out there now. Very important show we have going on. This is a big one right here. It's all about fasting, all about fasting. We're going to be talking about fasting, juice fasting, water fasting, intermittent fasting. We're going to be talking about dry fasting. We're going to be talking about all of it. And it's really an important show. I think it is because there's a lot of people doing different kinds of things out there and trying different kinds of things. And are they good? Are they bad? Do they work? Do they not work the whole bit? Everybody's different. We're going to talk about why and how and what's the safest way to go about things and what we can do. So, I mean, this is really a good show because there's a lot of confusion out there, and I want to air out that confusion, and I want to make sure that everybody has the best opportunity to heal on all levels. Now, what you're going to find out is that I don't have this belief system. I'm not swallowed up into a belief system that's also supported with all kinds of supplements, that packages you have to buy. And you have to buy a package from me or you have to buy, you know, hey, here's part of my fasting kit. Here's part of my fasting thing. Oh, here, you know, do this. Do my fasting course. Pay this. Pay $1,400. Pay $5,000. You know, like you're not going to get any of that from me. There's nothing, there's no belief system sucked into a money-making machine on this end so that's something everybody needs to know with all my shows all my information all the information i put out everything else and so it's very critical to understand that i don't even sell my own book it's a publisher book that's that's the whole thing people know how it works with books when when you have a publisher and they go out and the printing and everything else and all the work involved. And it's not the same thing as if you publish yourself or you have your own e-book and you make all the money and all the stuff that people do. So there's really – it's important to understand when you're – and the reason why I'm saying all this is because when you're dealing with fasting and you're dealing with different belief systems and trends and different stuff like that misinformation there's a lot of stuff behind them that you don't know that's happening that you get tricked into and you're not going to get that here you're going to get literally you're going to get you know the truth the information that's not swallowed swallowed up by some investor or some belief system or somebody invested into like you know five hundred thousand dollars in supplements and all these kits together, so they can tell you how to drive fast, and then make sure you take these herbs, and make sure you take this, and make sure you take that, and then they try to train you to also be one of these people, so then you go, it's like a pyramid scheme, and you go and try to get other people on board, whatever, nothing like that, nothing like that is happening, and on the beginning of the show, you'll notice there isn't a 15 minute infomercial on selling kind of some kind of diet system or selling kind of some belief system or some whatever. You're not going to hear that either. And I have to just make that clear for anybody who first came on here who's never heard the medical medium radio show. It's all about you. And that's what it's really about. And that's what it's really, really, really about. It's about your healing process, about your family. It's about your loved ones. It's about the people you care about. It's about all of that. And you just, you know, what happens is we get so brainwashed by all, all the propaganda and all the sales and all the systematic selling of things and products and belief systems and diet systems and all this other stuff that we just get numb to it and then we think everybody does that that's that's a public figure or somebody who's out there whatever it is we think everybody does that's not true we don't do that here i don't do that and that has to be clear so when it comes down to fasting and water fasting and dry fasting and intermittent fasting or any kind of fasting whatever it it is, you just know it's free. What we're talking about is free from some, you know, bowl that's behind it, from some agenda that's behind it. So you always have to know that. And that's important. That's really important to understand. So, look, let's get into the show. Let's do this. I think I've, you know, held you guys out enough with that right now. And I just, I just, you know, it's just, it's important stuff. Believe me, it's important. You need to know that the information you get is free from, you know, something that shouldn't be involved in it. It's just, it's just, it's really, it wouldn't matter to me. It wouldn't matter to me. So if I was looking for help, it would matter to me. So I, just thinking, I'm assuming that would matter to everybody else too. So here's the bottom line. Here's the bottom line. There's all these different fasts out there and all these different programs and all these different kits and all this different stuff. And there's really no – there's nothing behind this as far as, you know, when you think about the different, there's not, there's people's theories, there's theories, there's, you know, belief systems, there's things that people tried on themselves, and it might have worked for them, but it didn't work for somebody else. There's a lot of things mixed up and matched into it, and you got to be careful. You know, with Liver Rescue, with Liver Rescue, my latest book, Liver Rescue, I talk about how the liver doesn't like to be pushed. It doesn't like to be pushed. It's like a child about to jump into the swimming pool off the diving board for the first time ever and is standing at the end of the diving board, okay? Standing there and getting the courage and getting the faith and the courage and getting that willpower and building that spirit to want to make that plunge on her or his own and jump into the water. And that child, if you got on the diving board and you pushed the child in without the child realizing or knowing it. And the child was thrown into the water and got a gulp of water and was choking and gasping on the water on the side of the pool. And all trust would be broken. All trust would be broken. It would be a pushed event or a forced event when it shouldn't be. It should be something that naturally occurs with the child's own, you know, being and consciousness and everything else to jump off that diving board for the first time into a swimming pool. You know, and I remember, I remember being a child and I was, I was, you know, I was at a friend's house and there was everybody was swimming there and I was, I was eight years old. And I remember that's what happened. And I saw that. I saw a child that was on the diving board for the first time ever, a little girl, and she was on the diving board, and an adult was behind her and then pushed her in, just pushed her in, thought that that would be the best way to do it. And I'll never forget it because I saw it was wrong, totally wrong. And I knew why it was wrong in every way. And Spirit knew why it was wrong in every way. And I'll never forget that. And I talked about that in Liver Rescue because what happens is when you cleanse and you fast, you may be pushing a part of your body that doesn't want to be pushed. And that is really what happens. And we have to be careful. So when we're, we're doing different fasts, and we just were trying different things, and we're going jumping into things, we don't know what our organs are feeling, we have no idea and have no clue, you know, which organ is that little girl on the end of the diving board that gets thrown into the water, instead of having to do the process properly or the right process of jumping in and building up, you know, building up that faith and everything else. And, you know, it would happen in that trust. And what happens is there's an organ in our body called the liver and that liver of ours and yours doesn't like stupid fasting, meaning stupidly done fasting. It doesn't like it at all. And it's really important to know this because no one knows what's happening inside the body out there. It's amazing what happens. I mean, it's just got tons of practitioners out there and doctors and all these different people and whatnot. And no one really knows what's happening inside the body. It's all hit or miss out there. It really is. And that's what's scary. So, but this organ that we have, which is the liver, it doesn't like to be, what it does is it holds onto poisons for a reason. It holds onto toxins for a reason. And if it's pushed too hard, it's going to release all of them, not all of them, a large amount of them into the bloodstream. And it's not going to leave your body. It's not. It's only some are going to leave the body. The rest are going to float around causing harm. And they're going to float around causing harm to the brain. They're going to float around causing harm to the pancreas. And they're going to float around causing harm to the spleen. They're going to float around causing harm to the brain. They're going to float around causing harm to the pancreas and they're going to float around causing harm to the spleen. They're going to float around causing harm to other parts of the body, to the nervous system especially. And they're even going to float around causing harm to the adrenals. So when it's about cleansing, no one's thinking about something inside of them. No one's thinking about that. Whatever kind of cleansing it is, meaning whatever kind of cleansing, whatever kind of fast, whatever kind of whatever it is, no one's thinking about, wait a minute, you know, what is my liver really going to do? And how does my liver really work? And what's really happening here? And this is why we have so many mistakes in the industry and people get sucked into so many things. And yeah, some things work, some things don't. But regardless, everybody's different. Something might work for someone. Something might not work for another person. I'm going to talk about that. I'm going to discuss all that and talk about that as we're going through the show. So what happens is our liver likes to release a certain amount of poison that it doesn't have to sop back up. So what happens is if we push it and we just jump into some fast or we do something like a dry fast or we do something, whatever poison's been inside our liver, everything, all the different chemicals, all the different toxins, all the different heavy metals, all the different solvents, pharmaceuticals, all through our life from starting from the beginning, everything that's in there, and then some pesticides, DDT herbicides, that believe it, the liver has it all in there, plastics, petroleum, tons of petroleum-based stuff. I mean, it's amazing what's inside the liver. And so if we, the liver just likes to release a little bit of this at a time and a little bit of this at a time. And that's why, you know, spirit and, you know, gave me the 28 day cleanse. So it releases a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, because what happens is if you jump into some crazy fast, yeah, I know some of you are probably like upset because you're in totally into fasting and you still can fast, but I'm going to talk about why we have to be careful in different levels and different things for different people. If you're toxic, if you're already really, really toxic, fasting is not what you want to do. Meaning water fasting, straight water fasting, dry fasting, you've got to be really careful. because what happens is if you have a really toxic liver and it's fatty and it's sluggish and it's loaded with poison and you push that liver off the diving board, okay, when you push it off the diving board into the pool, there's going to be a problem. There's going to be a major problem. It's going to release too much poison, even though it's not going to release all of it. There's no way because when livers are toxic, they're loaded, and it takes a while to get your livers cleaned up, I'm going to tell you right now. And I talk all about that in Liver Rescue. But what happens is that the liver will release more poison than it wants to release. And then that poison won't leave the body. Only a little bit will hit the kidneys and leave the body. The rest of it will wreak havoc. When I mean wreak havoc, it will get into the brain. It will get into the nervous system. And it will get into the pancreas. It will get into places. And on top of that, the liver has to sop it all back up. It has to work 10 times harder to sop all that toxic poisonous debris back up because the liver has to suck it all back up. And that's how it works. So we have have to be responsible which i just don't see that out there with all the different frills and chills packages all the different fasting stuff all the different whatever it's literally it's literally like i mean it's unbelievable on how not responsible it is out there so so the bottom line is it's all about protecting something when you're fasting And I'm going to tell you how to do it. I'm going to tell you what you should do, you know, depending. And everybody's a little different. So I'm going to try to give you as much information on the differences you may have yourself that can, you know, that can be the difference there. Now, to begin with, if you're really toxic, you've been eating Standard American for the most part, you haven't really done any fruits and vegetables, you've been eating a lot of animal products, or you've even been eating a lot of animal products and still eating fruits and vegetables, and you're not eating that bad, and you're eating pretty clean, you still could be highly toxic, toxic for years and years and years. The liver could be totally filled with tons of poison, because that's the organ that gets filled with that much poison. And then someone convinces you to go on some fasting program. Wrong. Wrong to do. Wrong to do. What you'll do is you'll just, you'll hurt the adrenals. You'll, you'll, you'll saturate the brain with poison, which the brain does not need. You'll weaken the pancreas and you overtax and overstress and overwork the liver and make it harder for the liver to heal later. So what happens is we have to do things a little differently. You know, like the 28-day cleanse in the first book, Medical Media. I mean, 28-day cleanse is because that is to make sure that anybody who is already healthier gets even healthier and cleaner, so that if they did do a fast or a two-day water fast or a seven-day water fast, or they did something, it wouldn't be a disaster, and it wouldn't be hard on the liver. It wouldn't be super hard on the liver. And so that's something to really understand. And so what happens, though, if you're toxic and you're coming into something, say you've been eating the way you're eating and that's how you've been eating all these years and it's not that good or you've been eating pretty good but your liver is loaded. Nobody knows. Nobody knows and your liver is loaded with poison, loaded with toxins. And then you go and you jump into a fast. And that's not what you do. That's not what you should do and in the end you know we get hurt because of that later on in different ways it's in and so i mean that's that's kind of an example right there there's something about gradually eating better and better and better gradually eating better and better and better so you know so you don't this, you adapt. So your liver can actually adapt. So, so, and that's the key. That's one of the big keys. Let's say you're somebody who's been doing everything. You've been doing all these different foods, but have you been doing everything? Have you been doing celery juice for five years? Have you been doing celery juice for three years? Have you? I mean, think about it. Totally cleansing and recovering your pancreas. Totally cleansing and recovering your spleen. Totally cleansing and recovering your liver, your nervous system. You know, what's funny is there's people out there. There's so many people now that have the medical medium books around the world, right? You're probably bumping into them and stuff. And, you know, and at the same time, is people hop on board on the internet. They'll hop on Instagram, they'll hop on Facebook, or they'll hop on different forums. And, oh yeah, no, I tried that. It wasn't really helping. But when you look at it, I mean, you look at it, they didn't even do the celery juice for two weeks. What did they try? You know what happens every day? I see it out there. And, you know, did someone do 32 ounces of celery juice for the liver, for their body, for their health? And, you know, or even 16 ounces of celery juice every single morning for a year? Did they? And remove the no foods, remove the eggs, the dairy, the wheat, and, you know, other things like that. Did they do that? And, you know, like, so that's the whole point is there's different levels of getting to a point where if you want to do a fast, were you doing at least the other things to get yourself ready for one? So what I'm saying is if you get tied into some fast out there, tied into some cleanse, tied into something, and it's selling you a bag of goods. And it's making you buy like thousands of dollars of stuff. And then telling you you can sell thousands of dollars of stuff. Whatever it's doing. You know, some do that. Some don't. Some just make you buy stuff. Some whatever. Whether it's by, you know, crazy people that created the cleanse. Some madman that created the cleanse. Whatever it is that's out there. Whatever you're doing out there, make sure you get yourself ready for it. Because if it's not a good cleanse, and if it's not a good fast, if it's not a good situation, you got your body in a place that could possibly adapt to it and protect you. And the whole thing about the medical medium information and what Spirit and I've been doing is making sure you have all the foundation to protect you, to heal, no matter what you do. So even if you make mistakes, even if you fall into a belief system, even if you fall into something, even if you whatever, you'll be better off and still safer. Because it's all about protecting things inside the body that nobody understands. And I'm just saying this because it's got, look, I got to tell, I got to say the truth. That's all I have, that's all I have to do. You know, Spirit told me, so I was a little boy, just tell the truth. Just tell the truth. And the truth is this information and say it. And don't be afraid to say it. So I promised Spirit since the day I got the gift and Spirit was talking to me that I'm always going to say it like it is and not be afraid of hurting someone's feelings. And that was the key. I remember when I was a little boy, I'd be like, well, I'm going to hurt somebody's feelings if I tell them what you're telling me. I'm going to hurt their feelings because they believe in something else. Spirits, it doesn't matter. You have to tell them what it is. They have to hear the truth. And so with the fasting thing, it's important to know that if you're really highly toxic, if your liver is really overburdened, which most likely probably, especially if you've been sick for a long time and you got viral issues and everything inside the liver, you want to, you want to do something like a 28 day cleanser. You want to do the cleanse and liver rescue. You want to do the cleanse and liver rescue. So you'll see the cleanse and liver rescue. It's, it, it literally is above the rest because it's, it's about making sure your liver gets cleaned up to the end, like clean, clean, cleaned up without hurting your liver, hurting your bloodstream and everything else."

Contrarian view - the body needs water to detoxify

Anthony argues against dry fasting from a detoxification perspective, claiming the body requires water and nutrients to properly flush toxins and pathogens from the liver and organs.

"And it's really an important show. I think it is because there's a lot of people doing different kinds of things out there and trying different kinds of things. And are they good? Are they bad? Do they work? Do they not work the whole bit? Everybody's different."

Criticizing the commercialization of fasting programs

Anthony criticizes fasting influencers who package their advice into expensive courses and supplement kits, positioning his own information as free from commercial bias.

"Now, what you're going to find out is that I don't have this belief system. I'm not swallowed up into a belief system that's also supported with all kinds of supplements, that packages you have to buy. And you have to buy a package from me or you have to buy, you know, hey, here's part of my fasting kit."
