Hello MK83,

I looked into this, and it's not hard to see that the medical claims of Anthony William are utter quackery. but if you like celery juice, feel free.... theguardian.com/food/2019/a...

I would echo whisperit while it won't do you any harm given it's celery juice, I would urge you to beware of charlatans. Since diagnosis I have seen there are loads out there with snake oil to sell. And when desperate it's easy to give them all a try and spend lots of money. But if there were a real miracle out there we'd all be talking about it... xxx

Celery juice is actually harmful if you have photosensitivity. Just like some drugs it increases sensitivity to the sun.

Please take care MK83. I agree with whisperit and Insomniacette .

As to the 'nothing to sell' - considerable book sales and hence profit from that?

Please also take care with any of his diet recommendations. Much better to refer to LupusUK fact sheet or a medical professional or fully qualified dietitian (much harm can inadvertently be done through ill advised diet programmes - and there are plenty of those out there).

According to LupusUK, some dietary changes can have a beneficial impact - here’s a link to the page where you can download information from them:

Not making any judgements here - we all aim to look out for each other, so just a bunch of folks here looking out for you.

Good luck and take care x

Celery increases photosensitivity. Not recommended for lupus patients, at least not in high doses. Please be careful with miracles. There are no miracles, just wishful thinking.

"Celery contains furanocoumarins, including xanthotoxin, bergapten and 5-methoxypsoralen, which are chemicals that react to sunlight."

Never knew that. Why don't we get told things like this? Instead of stumbling onto them? Do you know if there are any other foods which increase photosensitivity or that we should avoid for other reasons? I did ask my rheumy and GP about this when first diagnosed and was told that there wasn't anything I needed to avoid. Thanks for the heads up.

in reply to Whippet_lady

I asked my healthcare provider who specialises in lupus a few weaks ago she gave me the go ahead. Thats why i started drinking it but will mention it to her

Whippet_lady ypur docs should know at least basic foods ton avoid such as alpha alpha that causes lupus flares. Here is a link from John Hopkins center with 5 things to avoid. Look for other official lupus sites (not quacks) that might have more info : hopkinslupus.org/lupus-info...

Thanks for this. My GP is learning with me about lupus as things move on. My rheumy, I'm guessing, has very little experience of lupus since I live in a small, low populated, rural area with no experts anywhere near by. Not great.

Brilliant! I hate the stuff and my friends always grow it and try to give some to me each summer. Now I have a legitimate excuse to turn the stuff away. Thank you 🙏😃

miccika1 in reply to happytulip

Lol. Im sure you can take a little bit :). Its different if you take a little and if you take enormous quantities. I do know that having it on the skin is actually really bad - it could create blisters in the sun.

Beware of scams

Right thanks for that nice to get opinions so i can read in to it all.

Honestly, I think if you’ve had medical advice to say it’s safe for you why not give it a try. If it makes you feel improved let us know. 😀

Thank you 😀

He is called the medical "medium" for a reason!! All conditions are supposedly curable by him, apparently. Unfortunately desperate people can be taken in by all of these scammers, who make their money from product sales and You-Tube viewings, etc.. Some are harmless, basically advocating a more heathy lifestyle, but others can promote products or actions which can be harmful. Do your research before adopting any such recommendations. It is astonishing to me that some of these quacks are even now being quoted by admins on another Health Unlocked site!!

in reply to Partner20

Oh yess 100% research. I was just doing it for a more healthy lifestyle and incorprate some of it in to my life.

Im not prepared to go vegan and gluten free but surely his clerey juice. Thyme tea. Smoothies bring some kind of benefit hence the reason its helping people.

Il keep researching and see what comes about it.

He’s labelled himself medical medium because he gone down the healing route. He will have trained and should have certificates for passing exams in this subject. U can even go as far as surgical mediums which have results in spirit surgery. U can go to any spiritual church healing sessions to help with providing spiritual healing for cost of a donation.

But u always have to remember not to replace ur medical advice with spirit healing. It’s to accompany it.

They do say if u can easy the mind of worrying then ur half way there.

Everyone to there own as with any alternative medical treatments.

Thats my problem im struggling to ease my mind.

Celery is known to cause allergy in some people, it’s one of the foods listed in bold lettering on ingredients lists, so please be careful.Eating the ingredients of the smoothie would probably be better for you than turning it into a smoothie. Don’t forget that you can only count 150ml of fruit juice, veggie juice and/or smoothie as one of your 5 a day (that’s a combined total not 150ml of each). So you still need lots more fruit and veg.

In my opinion anything labelled ‘miracle’ these days will be a scam. I’m not too sure about the name ‘medical medium’ either.

I dont think he is a scam if im honest. However i eat alot of greens and fruit in addition. Kale and spinach is my go to.

Below is a screen shot to show he isnt a scam.

I’ve worked with medical spirit mediums in past and practice it myself. U can get help with problems but never replace this with a qualified Dr advice. It’s there to work along side of professional advise not to replace it. Hope u get some help with problems u r suffering.

Jeff

in reply to BARTLETT1965

No i will never replace it. I still take my meds and ask advice from them. Was just incorprating a more healthy lifestyle

Did it work for you?

BARTLETT1965 in reply to

I practice in proving it as well as receiving it. When u revived spiritual healings it relives the pain and makes u more relaxed. But it’s not a wonder cure.

Jeff

in reply to BARTLETT1965

Yeah its not a cure but relieving symtoms is what i want

BARTLETT1965 in reply to

Look up ur local Spirtual church and give em a ring and ask for times they do healing. Cost u a lot less Jeff

One thing is for sure, ordinary doctors lack nutritional training. Also nutritional research is just generally lacking in the area of auto-immune conditions. That said while I understand spirituality can help and come from a good place there are also so many scammers operating in the zone of spirituality that prey on the vulnerable that I personally choose to start from a place of deep scepticism. But that's just me 😜🧐

What do you think of Goldner, Goodbye lupus? I have recently come across her name and wondered about the group’s view. I have incorporated green smoothies into my diet. I noticed that it had a positive effect on my energy level. It Has helped me to eat more greens like spinach, kale , broccoli and other good stuff like avacados and linseeds. I also add ginger and turmeric into the mix. I always had a healthy diet before lupus, loved fruits and veggies but it seems like consuming more of these makes difference. What do you all think?

in reply to April2018

I brought her book to but her eating plan is extreme. Literally eating northing but nuts salad and smoothies. I have no doubt it works but i couldnt just eat that.

I have incorprated the smoothies though in to my day and i fill my plate 2/3s of greens.

She talks more about what happened to her rather than medical terms whereas medical medium his book looks more indepth of the body etc
