Our brains and bodies have not betrayed us. They’ve been betrayed by industrial chemicals and other contaminants in our everyday lives that have only accelerated in development in recent years. There are brain betrayers that we’re up against every day, the ones that challenge and defy our immune systems, the ones that take up residence in our brain tissue, the ones that contaminate our neurons and n...

Bananas have gotten a bad rap lately, blamed for being too high in sugar. The reality is that the sugar in a properly ripened banana is completely different from the cane sugar and other processed sweeteners in cookies, cakes, and doughnuts.Unlike processed sugar, the fruit sugar in bananas is bonded to critical life-supporting trace minerals such as manganese, selenium, copper, boron, and molybdenu...

Our blood-brain barrier was designed to keep natural, mostly bodily toxins out of the brain. When someone has a little too much uric acid buildup because a kidney is weakened, for instance, that uric acid is not supposed to permeate the blood-brain barrier. If someone gets a cut that goes deep and leads to a skin infection, then that person could develop the beginning stages of sepsis, in which case...

Brussels sprouts help lower bad cholesterol, increase good cholesterol, purify the liver and other dense sponge organs such as the spleen. They also help purify the blood.An ultimate liver-cleansing food, Brussels sprouts provide a vast array of chemical compounds and phytonutrients. The sulfur c...

People often refer to “filler foods” as bad because they associate the term with unproductive processed foods, preservatives, food chemicals, and additives. In truth these ingredients should not be called fillers. They should be called toxic processed foods, toxic preservatives, toxic food chemicals, and toxic additives. These foods and food chemicals are in the category of brain betrayers.We don’t ...

Cucumbers have a fountain-of-youth effect, hydrating us at the deepest cellular level possible. Plus, cucumbers’ cooling effect makes them excellent at rejuvenation and especially effective at cooling a hot, stagnant liver. When eaten on a daily basis, cucumbers can reverse liver damage, dialing back 10 to 15 years of toxin exposure (including from heavy metals and pesticides such as DDT) and poor d...

If posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been ruled out—which is to say, if it’s been determined that trauma from past abuse or suffering is not the cause of someone’s chronic anger, and rather, it’s unexplained—then toxic heavy metals saturating emotional areas of the brain and a stagnant, sluggish liver are the underlying causes.You can also have a mix of all three: trauma, metals, and an overl...

Every case of dyslexia is different; each person’s experience of it is unique. That’s because of its cause: exposure in early life, even before birth, to toxic heavy metals such as mercury that saturate a combination of language areas of the brain, which could include learning, visual, and recognition regions. As I share in “Your Alloy Brain” in Medical Medium Brain Saver, heavy metals never settle ...

Everyone is different. Not in the way we normally think. While our souls are different, our physical bodies, as humans, are meant to function in the same way. We eat food, drink water, urinate and defecate; our hearts beat and our blood pumps; we walk on our feet, we see with our eyes, we hear with our ears, our stomachs are meant to digest…until something goes wrong and we can’t. We can’t walk, we ...

Have you heard or read the idea that the brain is made up primarily of fat and we need to eat a lot of healthy fats to have a healthy brain? These theories are becoming increasingly popular, but they are just that: theories. They’re not the truth. Is there any fat in a healthy brain that’s in a healthy body? In Brain Saver, I share that, yes, there is—extremely low levels of fat compared to what sci...

We all go through experiences that limit our ability to trust. Up to a point, that’s helpful for survival. An abundance of innocence can lay the foundation for a major betrayal. As I explain in Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal (Revised and Expanded Edition), we can lose faith when we go from doctor to doctor, realizing that medical research and scien...

If you’re concerned about regulating blood sugar, turn to kiwis for support. Kiwis are an amazing food for diabetes, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia. Whether your blood sugar levels are too low or too high, eating this fruit will bring you back to center as it simultaneously lowers fat in the bloodstream. Imbalanced blood sugar levels also often tie into moodiness, OCD, depression, and difficulty co...

If someone told you they never get emotional, one of four things could be happening: They don’t realize what they’re saying. They’re not telling the truth. They handle their emotional state by convincing themselves that they never become emotional. They spend time around people who express their emotions in a much more pronounced way, so in comparison, they think they don’t get ...

One of the main causes of the chronic mystery illnesses, symptoms, and conditions so many people live with today is viruses, such as the over 60 strains of Epstein-Barr, over 30 strains of shingles, multiple varieties of HHV-6, HHV-7, HHV-8, over 100 varieties of herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, and many others. This is original Medical Medium information. In truth, it’s impossible to live in this worl...

When someone is handed an ALS diagnosis, it often leaves the patient and loved ones feeling hopeless. If this is you, take heart. As with so many chronic illnesses, ALS is only a label, not an explanation. The label of ALS alone—the fear, panic, and lost sleep it causes—is often partially responsible for someone’s sudden health decline. Understanding the true cause of ALS brings insight into how it ...

When we’re sick or suffering, we often get lost. It can feel like a roller coaster of hope—one moment feeling optimistic about healing, the next feeling crushed, and then having to reestablish hope again. Symptoms can be a constant reminder that something is wrong. Some people have symptoms from a young age and don’t remember what it’s like to not have symptoms. Some may be at the beginning of chron...

There’s no way humankind could physically evolve faster than the forces we are up against. And that’s because instead of our bodies advancing, everything wrong about the world is evolving. Have you read Brain Saver and Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes yet? If so, you’d know why, in detail.Environmental pollution is evolving. The ocean is becoming more toxic. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch ...

Intermittent onsets of severe seizures come from large deposits of heavy metals. Sometimes there are even clusters of large deposits, although it’s usually only a cluster of two deposits.What creates these seizures is the interaction of metals–specifically, an alloy of mercury, aluminum, and copper, with all three of those residing next to each other and sometimes even partially forged together thro...

Toxic heavy metals are the undiscovered cause of bipolar disorder. When someone has an elevated amount of metals in the brain, their brain runs hotter. With bipolar, the heating is different because the combination of metals—the alloy—retains heat longer.Generally, the alloy behind bipolar is composed of mercury, copper, toxic calcium, arsenic, toxic platinum, and nickel. The levels of each metal ar...

Trouble sleeping can sometimes be as simple as a racing mind that’s trying to solve a problem, stress, or worry in your life. We don’t need to stress ourselves out over a bad night or two. When sleeping problems become chronic, that’s when there’s more going on. Neurotransmitter chemicals are one critical part of being able to sleep. Electricity is running through every neuron as we’re sleeping. If ...

Our brains rely on trace minerals. These good metals include beneficial, non-industrialized forms of gold, calcium, copper, potassium, magnesium, chromium, palladium, vanadium, and more. Trace minerals are life-giving peacekeepers in the brain. They contain information that comes from life sources of the planet and also life forces outside the planet, from the solar system and galaxy. These minerals...

One person’s depersonalization could be much different from someone else’s. It’s a large gray area bordering the threshold of depression and anxiety. The classic variety of depersonalization is the inability to feel emotionally. You’re completely numb, nothing excites you, nothing gets you upset, nothing matters, nothing interests you, and you feel like you’re not inside your body and you don’t exis...

Unexplained cases of fear and worry are often due to a past experience that’s been triggered without us knowing—because in times of pain, our brains put up healthy, productive emotional walls to help us cope. These are boundaries that we’re not meant to knock down; these walls allow us to get through our days without being constantly reminded of what’s happened to us. Unresolved experiences remain r...

Restless legs can come from two places. First is the shingles virus releasing neurotoxins that affect the lower spine, inflaming nerves there. This is one of the undiscovered mysteries of restless legs. The neurotoxins produced by the shingles virus sitting inside the liver can settle in different places in the body depending on what those neurotoxins are filled with. Higher amounts of lead and copp...

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) ADHD is not genetic or gut related. Neither of these popular explanations addresses the true underlying cause of attentional, focus, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or even executive function or self-regulation issues. What really causes ADHD is mercury and aluminum settling in the brain’s cerebral midline canal, which divides the brain’s left hemisphere f...

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)The cause of these mystery symptoms is byproducts and toxins built up in a stagnant, sluggish liver being released and collecting around heart valves. POTS symptoms go way beyond problems with getting up, leaning forward, and leaning down—because POTS is a viral neurotoxin disorder.One reason POTS is so difficult is that it’s a chronic Epstein-Barr vir...

Unfortunately, so many foods, beverages, and supplements are contaminated with MSG. “Natural flavors” is the new label to hide MSG and other chemicals that are not good for us. Anything with “flavor” or “flavoring” in the ingredient list is a red flag: “berry flavor,” “lemon flavor,” “vanilla flavor,” “chocolate flavor,” “strawberry flavor,” “chicken flavor”—even if the label says the flavorings are...

Acute or chronic, long-term bacterial infections inside the gallbladder usually occur from food-borne bacteria from contaminated foods or food poisoning or one or more strains from the over 50 groups of Streptococcus bacteria. Strep can enter the gallbladder and, over time, weaken its lining, creating scar tissue. In time, the strep finds its opportunity for a gallbladder infection, causing it to be...
