Benefit of Foods
The following are some brief notes from Anthony William’s Life-Changing Foods. For more insights and elaboration I encourage you to read the book.
Apricots
Apricots are an amazing food for rejuvenation. They are high in amino acids such as cysteine and glutamine and minerals such as selenium and magnesium in their most bioactive forms. They have 40 trace minerals and phytochemicals that attach and bind to harmful chemicals such as DDT, lowering the risk of cancer. The skin destroys harmful microbes that get in the way of B12 production.
Apricots have enzymes that protect DNA and they thwart the production of ammonia gas in the gut that can leach through the gut and cause problems throughout the body (from brain fog to dental issues). They boost the growth of red blood cells, strengthen the heart and nourish the brain.
Asparagus
Asparagus is the anti-aging fountain of youth. It helps in recovery and prevention of neurological disorders, expels toxins from the organs and repels new toxins. It is an amazing tool for battling cancer. It is high in B vitamins, silica, iron zinc, molybdenum, chromium, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium
It is alkalizing and one of the best adrenal supports.
Avocado: The Mother Fruit
Avocado helps to restore stomach and intestinal linings and is good for digestive disorders of any kind. Avocados:
-are anti-inflammatory
-prevent and rids one of polyps in the intestinal lining
-are amazing for the brain: healthy source of omega 6
-help alleviate Alzheimer’s and dementia
-are anti-aging
-give you a healthy glow
-get rid of dark under eye circles
-are anti-radiation
-are phytoestrogenic: stop estrogen-related reproductive and colon cancers
Bananas
Banana sugar is bonded with the trace minerals: manganese, selenium, copper, boron, and molybdenum, potassium (critical for neurotransmitter function).
They support our electrolyte production and are powerful antivirals: they can repel HIV
Bananas have tryptophan and can help with sleep and depression.
They destroy fungus, including candida, feed helpful microbes, are B12 enhancing and antispasmodic for hyperactive colons. They help with gut health, stabilize blood sugar and counter-act stress. They are a good pre- and post exercise food
Brazil Nuts
One Brazil Nut contains 100% of the RDI for selenium. Because of soil depletion, selenium deficiency is quite common.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Examples of Cruciferous Vegetables: cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, arugula, mustard greens.
They ignite healing and cleansing abilities of other foods in certain combinations
Contrary to prevalent misinformation, they are thyroid’s best friend. They pull radiation out of the thyroid. They protect against the viruses, stave off cancers especially breast, reproductive, brain, intestinal, and lung cancers. They are especially good for lung health, contain both macro and trace mineral sulfur, and are rich in vitamins B, A, C, E and K.
Particular healing properties:
Red Cabbage: most rejuvenating for the liver.
Kale: connective tissue, joints, inflammation, destroys viruses
Collard Greens: anti-bacterial, (steam them)
Cauliflower: has boron for the endocrine system, thyroid, rest of endocrine, system, hypothalamus, adrenal glands. Kills viruses. Eat raw.
Broccoli: a true multi-vitimin for the whole body
Brussels Sprouts and Green Cabbage: joints, osteoporosis, Brussels sprouts 10x more nutrient dense than cabbage. Lowers bad cholesterol, increases good, purifies the liver and other dense organs.
Combinations
-Cauliflower + seaweed: expels chlorine, fluoride, and radiation from the endocrine system.
-Apples+ red cabbage: expels bacteria, worms, parasites, and viruses, from liver, spleen and intestines.
-Asparagus +broccoli: amplifies cancer fighting
-Collard greens + pumpkin seeds: amplifes zinc absorption.
Burdock Root

Cilantro
Cilantro is a primary herb for heavy metal detoxification including for the brain.
Liking or not liking cilantro is not genetic (a fad theory). Perceiving a harsh flavor to it indicates a higher oxidative rate of heavy metals in the system. Not necessarily a higher level, but that they are corroding rapidly. The toxic runoff from the corrosion gets into the saliva. The cilantro binds with the toxins creating a harsh taste. If you don’t like it, you really need it.
Cilantro pulls heavy metals from the liver and is one of the best adrenal support herbs. It balances blood sugar, staves off weight gain, helps brain with fog and memory issues
Kills viruses, including HIV, and is anti-bacterial and anti-parasite.

Flowers are for the hollow organs: stomach, intestine, gallbladder, bladder, lungs, uterus and heart. The leaves purify blood and lymph and increase circulation. The stem cleanses dense the organs such as the spleen, liver and brain. The root purges the deepest part of the dense organs. Dandelions are very nutrient dense, give you energy, prevent all illness and are especially good for the prostate.
Dates
Dates are great for the digestive system. They are one of the most anti-parasitical foods. They bind with and sweep away heavy metals and all forms of pathogens, are good for candida, restore peristaltic function. They are good for diabetes and hypoglycemia, because they deliver glucose to the liver, addressing the glucose loss responsible for blood sugar issues. Dates are good for athletes because high in whole plant based sugar and potassium for refueling muscles.
Dates have 70 bioactive minerals, support the adrenal glands, and are very heart healthy. They contain important undiscovered amino acids. These amino acids make potassium work better and stop lactic acid from taking over in stress. Dates are a warming food that expels dampness from spleen and liver, without creating dryness. The have abundant anti-cancer properties. Eat one 2 hours before sleep for a better nights sleep. For a more profound meditation, eat 3 before your session.

Seaweed is very powerful in removing heavy metals. In the ocean seaweeds absorb toxins, deactivate them and release them back, harmless. In our bodies they absorb toxins and eliminate them. They are packed with nutrition, including over 50 trace minerals. They help create electrolytes for stress assistance, reconstruct DNA, are very grounding, are great for endocrine system because absorb radiation and are an excellent source of active iodine. Seaweeds are good for bones, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and teeth and help address heavy metal induced illness or symptoms such as Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and brain fog.
Garlic
Garlic is one of the most potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-parasitics we have, mainly because it is rich in sulfur compounds that prevent disease.
While it eliminates harmful microbes, it does not kill good bacteria.
It is great for colds, flus, strep throat, pneumonia, and virus related cancers. It removes heavy metals in the colon. It is most potent raw. Eat a clove a day (or 3 if you are coming down with something).
Ginger
Ginger is one of the most important tools we have for giving us respite from a reactive state. It is great for stress related illnesses such as adrenal fatigue, acid reflux, sleep apnea, spastic bladder, insomnia, and digestive issues such as spastic colon and gastritis. It is also good for chronic muscle pain. Ginger is the ultimate antispasmodic.

Potatoes
Potatoes are good for diabetes. They help stabilize blood sugar. Potatoes and other nightshades do not aggravate arthritis. The cheese, butter, oil, milk and cream typically eaten with potato are the problems. Frying combined with high fat / high sugar of dairy is deadly. That’s what causes insulin resistance and high A1C levels. Lactose + fat feeds every type of cancer. Potatoes don’t cause health issues. The ingredients served with them do.A whole food in its natural state should not be lumped in with processed “white foods.” Potato skin is one of the best nutrition sources on the planet. Potatoes have some of the highest macro and micro nutrients available. They are high in potassium, B6 and Lysine (which fights cancer, liver disease and inflammation and the Epstein Barr virus that is behind rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain and autoimmune disease). Potatoes fight all chronic illness eliminate harmful microbes, assist with stress and are a brain food that keeps you grounded and centered.
Always eat organic potatoes, as non-organic is likely GMO. Steaming is best as a cooking method. Use avocado, tahini or salsa on top instead of butter, cheese or oil. Add to salads. The enzymes in potatoes enhance the healing alkaloids in the leafy greens.
