A self-taught health advisor with a unique spiritual connection, sparking the global celery juice movement.
Anthony William, known professionally as the Medical Medium, has carved a unique niche within the health and wellness sphere, primarily through his claims of communicating with a “Spirit of Compassion” to gain advanced medical insights. Born with this claimed ability, William has used it to offer health advice, focusing on chronic illnesses and conditions that conventional medicine struggles to address effectively. He has gained considerable attention for his promotion of celery juice as a cure-all for a wide range of health issues, alongside other dietary recommendations and health challenges like the “Brain Shot Therapy.”
William’s journey into the realm of health advice began in 1985 when he started promoting supplements and herbs. His career took a significant turn when he opened a health food store, Earth Organic Market, in Machias, Maine, with his wife Rachel Schutzman in 2000. However, it’s his role as a medical medium, claiming to receive guidance from a spirit, that has defined his public persona. This spirit, he says, provides him with detailed information about people’s health conditions, enabling him to advise on treatments for illnesses and symptoms that, according to him, are often misdiagnosed or ineffectively treated by conventional medicine.
William has authored several books, including “Liver Rescue,” “Thyroid Healing,” and “Medical Medium,” among others, many of which have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list. His books and online content cover various health topics, with a significant focus on the Epstein-Barr virus, which he claims is responsible for a myriad of chronic diseases, including several types of cancer and thyroid issues. Despite his lack of formal medical or scientific training, as he himself acknowledges, William’s suggestions have found a vast audience, with his Instagram and Facebook followers numbering in the millions.
The medical and scientific community has been critical of William’s claims, particularly his connection to a spirit for medical advice and his assertions regarding the causes of cancer and the benefits of celery juice. Experts argue that there is no scientific evidence supporting his claims about the Epstein-Barr virus being a primary cause of such a wide array of diseases, or that celery juice can cure these ailments. Nutritionists and dietitians have also pointed out the lack of evidence behind his dietary recommendations, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practices in health and nutrition.
Despite the controversies, William’s promotion of celery juice has garnered a global following, with many attesting to its health benefits based on their personal experiences. William claims that celery juice has numerous medicinal uses, from improving energy levels and reducing bloating to curing headaches and anxiety. He advises consuming it in a specific manner for maximum benefit, a recommendation that lacks scientific support but has nonetheless contributed to its popularity.
