Do not drink the (celery flavored) kool aid! I was reading this with an open mind until I got to the chapter about menopause and bone loss. The author claims that instead of the loss of estrogen associated with menopause causing bone mass losses, it is actually estrogen itself that causes the reduced bone density. His explanation is that over time this steroidal estrogen eats away at our bones but we only notice it during menopause and then assume it’s the menopause causing it. THIS ( and embarrassingly not in the first few pages when he tells us the voice in his head tells him everything we are about to read 🤦🏻‍♀️) is where I had no choice than to accept that he is a quack. I personally know this section of the book to be false because as a breast cancer patient when I was a pre-menopausal 29year old, I was put on a drug that puts me into a false menopause, temporarily stopping my ovaries from creating estrogen. After two years they check your bone density and my bone mass in those two years was significantly reduced without estrogen. This is directly opposite to his theory in the book, in fact according to him my body should have paused bone loss from this treatment. The same significant bone density losses happened to “cancer friends” of mine who were also young (in their 20s) undergoing the same treatment. Because I know this information is wrong, it’s hard for me to trust anything else in the book. I do believe healthy diet and mental health can aide in disease prevention but it is dangerous to give false advice to people based on a voice in your head. Science is real even if it may not have every answer yet.

Hogwash
Everything related to Goop should be taken with a grain of salt.

4.5 stars, going to try some things in the book and see if they help with my ‘mystery symptoms’ that have finally had some light shed on them.

Not sure what I think about this book. I’m quite open minded but thought that he came across as a bit cocky saying that only he knew things and it will take medicine years to catch up to what he knows. I know that we don’t understand a lot about the mind, body connection. Maybe he does speak to a spirit guide. If he doesn’t this book is dangerous to try to market to people who have lost hope with chronic illness. I’m not a chronic illness sufferer although have had anxiety/depression in past. Nothing what he says is new: that we live in a world full of toxins and we need to eat more fruits and veggies, etc to help our overall health. I don’t think what he mentions will hurt you. I mean celery juice has helped my acid reflux and ability to concentrate but I’m not going to solely have celery juice and try to eat the rainbow of loads of fruits and veggies. He likes to blame a lot on the Epstein-Barr virus. He could be right or completely making it up. I skipped through a lot of parts because it was repetitive. Adding spirulina to your diet and wild blueberries will help heal most things! Don’t avoid going to the doctor but obviously work on your diet and add green juices. I did start eating more fruit because of this book which has helped my sugar cravings. You can read the book but take what is helpful and leave the rest. It’s given me another perspective for health and I’ve picked up some things I’ll add into my life like celery juice and more fruit and veggies. Don’t put all your faith in the book/author though as the fruits and veggies are the ones doing the hard work not the miracle medium.

I've been following Anthony William on instagram for a over a year on the advice of a friend who has had success using his healing protocol for her psoriasis.

In my battle against my daughter's eczema, I'm always looking for more tools in my toolbox.

So much of what Anthony says makes sense to me. It speaks to some ancient truth that I cannot deny. But a lot of his new-age verbiage turns me off and I just have to skip parts. I'm not denying his truth. But for me the "Spirit" part and the "Find your Angels" thing turns my skeptic nerve sky high and I can't get past it.

All that said, I believe he's on to something and I'm 100% certain that feeding the body the best, most basic organic fruits and vegetables IS the answer to illness.

Now to try to get my 10-year-old to buy in to a 28 day raw food cleanse. Oy.

I would put this book under the category of "Alternative Health." Not just bc the author teaches a more holistic way of life, diet and treatment but bc he professes to be an actual medium. So you really need to employ a large amount of suspension of disbelief as you read this book. Still, any book that educates the reader about the many benefits of a plant based diet, meditation and removing stresses from one's life is beneficial. He discusses vitamins and teas I've never heard of and am now looking into.

Even though I marked this as read, the truth is, I couldn't even get through three full chapters. The author starts his book explaining how he's this amazing spiritual and medical medium for diagnosing health problems. Now, I'm extremely critical of the medical industry in treating symptoms and not the underlying problems, but when you're introduction is diagnosing your grandmothers lung cancer, as a very young child, only by placing your hand on her chest (when barely able to speak), I'm calling BS. I decided to give another chapter or two a try, and found that his prognosis and explanations for problems was extremely weak.

This guy is a quack as far as I can tell. There are better books out there that offer better solutions to your health by changing diet without being an arrogant snake-oil salesman.

I want to give this book all the stars in the sky! Currently suffering from a mystery digestive illness, and will be embarking on a celery juice fix in the next few days.
I want all of my friends and family to read and embrace this book. I also have Hashimoto's, and so many people I know have Lyme, lupus, fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's... the list goes on and on.
I can't wait until modern medicine embraces the idea that auto-immune diseases are not what they've been telling us.
Loved a new perspective on so many things, especially our relationship with angels. Already putting that into practice.
If you're open to reconsidering what big pharma is telling us, definitely dive right in to this one!

did not finish due to conflicting feelings on his methods and what drives him to do what he does
