My Reading with Anthony William, Medical Medium


I had a reading with Anthony William, the medical medium that was featured in the GOOP article (Gwenyth Paltrow's website).  I had a family friend mention him to me and suggest I get a reading.  I put myself on his waiting list for a $500 reading.  Right before I got the call for the reading (maybe a month or two to wait), someone sent me the GOOP article.  There was another person that posted something else about him in another group on Facebook.  Then I started to see a lot of the Lyme groups posting things about him and how several people had purchased his book.  I get the call for the appointment and ordered the book.  I was going to go through with spending $500 on a 30 minute reading.  Anyway, my friend Linda who had already read his book offered to come over to take notes for me (you cannot record your session), so we saddled up to two desks in our home office with my husband sitting in the background and the phone rang.  Having read the entire Goop article (it's an entire chapter from the book), I had already said to myself, "Wow, this is me!"  I do have very high EBV titers (along with HHV-6, and at one point CMV).  My LLMD had stopped treating a lot of his patients with antibiotics and started using antiviral treatments.  I didn't go that route and decided to take a step away from my Dr.  I may revisit this at a later time.   So, here are my notes that Linda took for me.  Comment if you have any questions and I will answer them as best as I can.  Enjoy.

Oh and P.S. I have NO IDEA what is up with the font sizes here.  I have tried over and over again to fix it and it's just going to be crazy.

General Scan Notes
  • Problems started with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which triggers Lyme disease symptoms.
  • Need to re-stabilize nervous system and knock down the EBV.
  • EBV releases neurotoxins.  Neurotoxins cause neuro fatigue.
  • Need to repair the nerves.
  • EBV is inside my liver & thyroid.
  • EBV came in through my vaccines.
  • My heart symptoms are not dangerous. The symptoms I experience are from the nerves miscommunicating, not from my heart muscle, valves or arteries. This makes perfect sense to me since my heart is healthy. I wish I didn’t require a pacemaker for the rest of my life.
  • Digestion problems are neurological.
  • He says I have “Group 2 EBV”. 
  • No other diseases or illnesses. I am otherwise healthy.
  • He says that he KNOWS that I will fully recover and be well again.  There are no other obstacles.
  • No brain inflammation found.  What I experience symptomatically in my brain are the neurotoxins caused from the EBV.

Supplements for EBV that are critical
(He stressed the importance of never having alcohol in your tinctures)



  1. Eidon Zinc liquid concentrate  According to reading, I am severely zinc deficient.  Goal dose is 2 droppers full, twice daily.  http://tinyurl.com/EidonZinc
  2. Bioactive B12 from Global Healing Center  This will restore nerves.  He said, “if the Lyme community knew about this B12 blend, it would be a big deal.” Goal dose is 2 droppers full, twice daily.  http://amzn.to/1IGCr3s
  3. Nature’s Answer Cat’s Claw  For viral loads in the herpetic families. Cleans up the viruses in a nice, safe & gentle manner. Goal dose is 2 droppers full, twice daily.  If I can only work up to 10 individual drops per day, he is happy.   http://amzn.to/1IGCKv5
  4. *Nature’s Answer Hawthorne Berry  Not standard protocol or for EBV; but for my own personal issues, since I mentioned to him that I take it for heart palpitations and racing heart, the brand I currently use has alcohol in it.  *Personal note: this is a natural beta blocker and has saved me from undergoing ablation & taking prescription beta blockers.  Good stuff here if you have heart issueshttp://amzn.to/1IGD3G9
  5. Nature’s Answer Licorice Root  He asked me if I can tolerate it.  I said, “I have taken it before in adrenal supplements with no problems.”  Goal dose is 1 dropper full, twice daily.  http://amzn.to/1TnLrQE
  6. Sovereign Silver It is a positively charged, bioactive silver hydrosol.  It will not put a load on the body’s system; but start slow  *Personal note: I reported die off from ingesting 1 teaspoon twice daily of a different type in the past.  This brand, according to him, is the best. Goal dose is 2 teaspoons, twice daily.  I will start with 1/4 teaspoon twice daily and slowly increase. Large bottle:  http://amzn.to/1IGF9G7  Small bottle:  http://amzn.to/1IGFnNm
  7. Thorne 5-MTHF, 5 mg  EBV screws up the mutation through its byproducts.  Goal dose is 1 capsule, twice daily.  *Personal note:  It takes a while to work up to the dose of methylfolate he recommended; I know from experience.  I have a bottle of the brand I currently use and will stick with that.  I would not start with 5mg of methylfolate; but I have already been on it a while, so perhaps he sensed that and suggested a higher dose.  I suggest beginning with 1mg capsules and as a trial ingest 1/2 of 1mg to see how it is tolerated, then slowly increase the dose.  5 mg bottle:  http://amzn.to/1TnKt6N  1 mg bottle:  http://amzn.to/1TnKQ1b
  8. L-lysine Intake as much as possible. If you could only take one supplement for EBV it is  this one! Goal dose is 3000mg, twice daily.  http://amzn.to/1TnLpbz
  9. Hawaiian Spirulina MUST be Hawaiian.  Begin very slowly. 1/4 teaspoon daily or 1 tablet daily.  Goal dose is 6-8 tablets or up to 2 teaspoons daily. He seemed to prefer the powder for some reason.  Powder: http://amzn.to/1TnLDiQ  Tablets:  http://amzn.to/1TnLKLg
  10. Lipo Naturals Liposomal Vitamin C He asked me how I tolerated vitamin C.  I told him, “I am taking liposomal vitamin C currently.”  He thought it was great that I can tolerate it and said, “he prefers this brand because the lecithin is made from sunflower seeds.” I am assuming he wants me to stay away from soy based liposomals. I will finish what I have (I take both the c and the glutathione) then switch to this brand.  Goal dose is 1 teaspoon, twice daily.   http://amzn.to/1TnMjos

Diet
(The specific foods listed are just examples of things he feels are great to eat.  Not the only things to eat.)


  • EBV requires a plant based diet.  
  • Grain free. 
  • No animal products.
  • Fats block nerves and stop sugars from getting into the blood stream (I believe he was referring to animal fats here).
  • If eating cooked foods for dinner, keep fruits separate from dinner.
  • Be cautious with dried fruits (don’t over eat).
  • Dates are ok.
  • Spices are ok.
  • NO bell peppers.
  • Fruits, such as, Avocado, Bananas, & Papayas, for example, will get glucose into the nervous system.
  • No dairy (use coconut milk in my morning green tea latte).
  • I cannot tolerate green juices well. He said, “cucumber juice is all I need.”
  • Tomatoes are great, just not green tomatoes. Don’t eat anything that isn’t ripe yet.
  • Olive oil & coconut oil is ok.
  • Almond butter is ok.
  • Butternut Squash is ok.
  • Occasional salmon is ok, if needed.
  • POTATOES, POTATOES, POTATOES - Most bioavailable source for lysine. Russets, Yukon golds & reds.  Sweet potatoes are ok but not as good as the prior mentioned.
  • Hummus is ok.
  • EBV can’t feed on these foods and will starve it out.

Information on LDI for Lyme Disease, Candida, Interstitial Cystitis, AS, and more.


I couldn't find much information on LDI (low dose immunotherapy) treatment for Lyme disease online. However, here is a recent radio interview with Dr. Ty Vincent explaining LDI treatment for Lyme disease.

Episode Description
Today, I am delighted to be joined by Dr. Ty Vincent who has developed the new healing protocols for Low Dose Immunotherapy. As a veteran integrative family physician working in Alaska and Hawaii, Dr. Vincent realized that the Low Dose Antigen (LDA) program developed by Dr. Schrader could be expanded to include a wider range of healing possibilities. In addition to its long and excellent track record with allergies of every type, this new tool can be useful for treating Lyme disease and co-infections, and Candida, Interstitial Cystitis and a lot more.

First LDI Dose for Lyme


This is me taking my first dose of LDI for Lyme disease. LDI stands for Low Dose Immunotherapy. For more information on this treatment for Lyme disease see the link below the video.
http://www.specialtynaturalmedicine.com/lyme-disease-ldi This is not my Dr but it gives a brief rundown of what LDI is. I will probably post more info to the blog here at a later time. UPDATE: Monday, September 14, 2015 I am supposed to contact the nurse today to let her know if I had any reaction to the first dose. The problem is that I DON'T KNOW! I can't tell if I flared or if it was my normal symptoms. I have been sick in bed for the past two days but that is fairly typical for me when returning from two days at Campland (it's glamping in your motorhome). I will contact them today and see what they say.
