AI Summary

Core Healing Principles (Actionable)


Morning Healing Protocol

Start with lemon water, then celery juice

Lemon water → celery juice 15–30 minutes later (flexible timing is okay)

Purpose: hydration, gentle detox, digestive and liver support

Celery juice is positioned as a foundational healing tool

Emphasized as life-saving for many chronic symptoms and neurological issues

Not just “healthy food” — treated as a therapeutic intervention



Heavy Metal Detox Support

HMDS (Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie)

Used specifically to remove toxic heavy metals from the brain

Linked to neurological recovery (including autism-related improvements)

Framed as a long-term, consistent healing tool rather than a casual smoothie



Plant-Based Healing Focus

Medical Medium–style plant-based eating

Especially emphasized for people with chronic illness

Healing accelerates when combined with metal detox protocols

Avoid animal products during healing

Especially dairy and eggs, which are framed as inflammatory and symptom-triggering

Plant-based alone helps

Plant-based + MM protocols = next-level healing



Foods to Avoid (During Healing)


Problematic Ingredients

Dairy

Strongly linked to inflammation, acne flares, and chronic symptoms

Eggs

Implicated as problematic for chronically ill individuals

Highly processed vegan foods

Many vegan cheeses contain:

Canola oil

MSG

Nutritional yeast

Citric acid

These are framed as hidden troublemakers, even when food appears “healthy”

Oil-heavy restaurant food

Most restaurants drench food in oils → inflammatory load



Preferred Healing Food Characteristics


What Makes Food “Healing”

Low fat

Minimal or no added oils

Very low sodium

No soy, no nuts (when possible)

Whole-food–based

Organic whenever possible



Healing-Aligned Comfort Foods (Key Insight)


Why Some “Comfort Foods” Can Still Work

Foods like pizza or bowls can be healing if structured correctly

Example principles:

Chickpea-based crusts

Potato or sweet potato base

No dairy

No oil-drenched sauces

This allows people to eat satisfying foods without symptom flare-ups

Acne and inflammatory reactions are specifically mentioned



Emotional + Mindset Guidance (Still Practical)


Self-Compassion Is Part of Healing

Illness is not your fault

Strong rejection of blame-based health narratives

Chronic illness happens for specific reasons — not lack of effort or discipline

Stress, guilt, and self-blame are framed as obstacles to healing

Encouragement to:

Be compassionate with yourself

Drop shame

Stay consistent rather than perfect



Summary: What to Actually Do


Daily

1. Lemon water

2. Celery juice

3. HMDS (if neurological or chronic symptoms are present)


Diet

Stay plant-based

Avoid dairy, eggs, processed vegan substitutes, heavy oils

Favor simple, whole, low-fat meals


Mindset

Treat food as healing tools, not trends

Remove self-blame from illness

Stay consistent over time

1:39 life-changing food, you'll see the
1:41 difference. Do you see the difference?
1:42 Like get your LCF out right now and just
1:45 like take a look at that. You see the
1:47 difference? It's like brainsaver size. I
1:49 don't know if you have brain saver, you
1:51 guys, but many of you guys do, but some
1:53 of you guys might not. But there it is
1:55 right there. There is the new edition
1:59 expanded LCF in my hands. I just got
2:02 this like two days ago, which is insane.
2:06 Two days ago. So, and I can open this up
2:08 and it's just beautiful. The recipe is
2:11 everything.
2:13 There's the cilantro shot right there.
2:15 Have you tried the cilantro shot? Cuz
2:18 Whoa. Okay. You want to get healthy, you
2:20 want to get metals out, you do the
2:22 cilantro shot. It's just opened up.
2:23 Remember how I told you it's like a
2:25 reference guide where you open it up and
2:27 where you open it, something's talking
2:30 to you, right? It's resonating. It's
2:33 connecting to you. And I need a cilantro
2:36 shot because I just opened it up right
2:38 to that. So that's pretty cool on its
2:40 own. And I mean the information about
2:42 all the different wild foods, all the
2:45 fruits, vegetables, the leafy greens,
2:47 the um it's just really packed. The
2:50 information is insane. Look at the
2:52 sprout spring rolls right here. The
2:54 recipes are beautiful. And I am actually
2:58 messing up my cover on this brand new
3:01 book. But you know what? That's what
3:03 happens. You start using the book. So
3:06 here it is. information, lots of it,
3:08 life-saving information about health.
3:10 Also, information about how the world
3:12 works, you know, what's toxic in the
3:14 world, that's a big deal. And there's so
3:17 much in here. Arming yourself with the
3:19 truth right there. So, having the truth
3:21 on your side, being able to be
3:23 empowered, protecting yourself,
3:25 protecting your family, your loved ones,
3:27 all that is so important when it comes
3:29 down to healing. But the information in
3:31 this book is vast. It's a tremendous,
3:35 beautiful resource. I'm hoping you guys
3:38 get it. It's coming out in just what,
3:40 like a few days? I think a few days.
3:42 November 4th, it's coming out. So, make
3:45 sure you lock on to it. You can

3:49 But you won't be disappointed. I promise
3:50 you, you will not be disappointed with
3:53 this reference book in your hands. Keep
3:55 it in the kitchen. Chill out like, you
3:58 know, in the living room with it. You
4:00 can read different chapters at night
4:02 before bedtime. Although
4:05 there's lots of incredible information,
4:06 but there's also some spooky stuff in
4:08 there, too, about the world. Maybe you
4:10 don't want to read that right before you
4:11 go to bed. Read that in the morning
4:13 instead. So, just being being honest
4:16 with that one for sure. So, wow. This is
4:19 insane. So, this is this is so cool.
4:21 Could I grab one, too? This is great.
4:25 >> Look at that.
4:27 >> Amazing.
4:29 Is that the celery juice right there?
4:31 >> Oh, yeah.
4:31 >> I I didn't have my celery juice today. I
4:34 did not have it. So, this is wonderful.
4:38 Wow. Look at that. HMDS is right here. I
4:42 am Precious is right here, too. So, I
4:44 don't know which I'm going to just have
4:45 a little celery juice if that's okay.
4:47 All right. Whoa, that's really nice. I
4:49 can do that. Incredible.
4:53 So good. Ah, fresh celery juice. Nothing
4:56 better. Nothing better. Um, am I
4:59 supposed to do this? Is this proper
5:02 etiquette here? Medical medium proper
5:04 etiquette. All right. Let me get my uh
5:06 silver.
5:08 Go. I'm supposed to do this right here.
5:11 Is that okay? No. Or I'm supposed to put
5:14 it on my lap like this. Is that how I'm
5:15 supposed to do it? Okay, I'll do that.
5:18 Right. Just so I don't spill everything
5:20 on me. This is so good right now.
5:23 You guys, Cafe Gratitude is a legendary
5:27 restaurant. Like legendary. Okay.
5:30 They've been like serving the community,
5:31 serving people, amazing food. If you
5:35 haven't been down here, get down here.
5:36 I'm here right now. If you get down here
5:39 right now, I'm here. I'm in here right
5:42 now. And I'm not leaving you right now.
5:45 I'm going to be eating. So, if you're in
5:46 the area, come on down. You know, we're
5:48 in Venice if you if you want to know.
5:51 So, um, I'm going to get one of these
5:54 right here.
5:56 Lots to talk about you guys. Have you
5:57 been keeping up with the medical medium
5:59 information? Have you been keeping up
6:00 with the lives I've been doing? Talking
6:02 about the different fruits and the
6:04 different, you know, all actually been
6:07 focused on fruits lately, which has been
6:08 really cool. Plums and grapes and figs.
6:13 I don't know if you've been like
6:14 watching some of the lives, right?
6:16 That's been really fun. You know,
6:20 is that how you guys take a straw out?
6:23 Everybody's got their own way of doing
6:24 it.
6:30 Nice and cold celery juice. I will take
6:34 it. Um,
6:36 excuse me for a second if you guys don't
6:38 mind. Right.
6:41 I'm going to put it right here. I am
6:44 precious. Um, okay. So if you know
6:47 medical information, you know, celery
6:49 juice first, right? You do that in the
6:51 morning. You do your lemon water. If you
6:53 like lemon water, then you go from lemon
6:55 water, you go into your celery juice,
6:58 maybe like 20 minutes later, half an
7:00 hour later, 15 minutes, you can do,
7:02 right? So think about it. If you like
7:05 maybe you can do a half, you can do an
7:06 hour later, whatever works. But you have
7:08 your lemon water, you have your celery
7:10 juice. But I'm I'm just having a couple
7:13 sips of celery juice, but I'm having a
7:15 little fun. So, I'm kind of breaking
7:17 protocol on that and I'm gonna have a
7:19 little bit of a side impression.
7:24 If you I don't know if you've
7:26 experienced this if you had a chance if
7:29 you've been here, but that is insane.
7:31 And um
7:34 I'm going to just taste the MDS here
7:38 because I know it's good and I'm going
7:40 to give it this.
7:44 Okay,
7:47 seriousness, okay? This isn't just some
7:50 smoothies and some celery juice. Celery
7:54 juice is life-saving for a lot of people
7:55 around the world. They've gotten their
7:57 lives back. They've gotten off a
7:58 mattress island. They've recovered from
8:00 all kinds of symptoms, conditions, and
8:02 diseases. That alone is just the track
8:05 record with Cell Rude Juice alone is
8:06 just amazing, right? But the HMDS
8:10 legendary just like Cafe Ratitude is.
8:14 It's helped so many people. It's gotten
8:16 metals out of people's brains. It's just
8:18 a beautiful thing, the HMDS right here.
8:21 So, when you look at this, these are
8:22 healing tools, and that's the
8:24 difference. This isn't just like, oh,
8:25 that's just good food. Oh, that's
8:27 healthy food. Oh, that's cute. You know,
8:29 great, a smoothie. No, we're talking
8:31 about saving lives. Um, children with
8:34 autism being able to become verbal again
8:37 because of the HMDS.
8:39 We're talking about I mean real healing
8:42 stories, the chronically ill, saving
8:44 lives, and that's what this information
8:46 has done, but at the same time, we can
8:49 take the fun side to it. It tastes just
8:51 absolutely delicious. So, and it looks
8:55 wonderful. So, we can do that, too. But
8:58 life-saving tools is what these are. And
9:00 I'm going to kind of move these over
9:02 because I have a pizza now. A pizza.
9:05 Wait, is that breaking protocol right
9:07 here? I'm having pizza with my celery
9:09 juice. Am I having pizza before my
9:11 celery juice? Whoa, kelp noodle salad
9:14 right there. That's I am wise.
9:16 That's the spicy potato bowl right
9:18 there. The I am noble. And this is the
9:21 pinesca Mediterranean Putin pizza, which
9:24 is I am healthy. And indeed, that's the
9:28 healthiest pizza there is. I mean, you
9:30 just can't get healthy pizzas like this.
9:32 The crust is chickpea flour. It's
9:35 potato, sweet potato. You can't you
9:37 can't like you know you don't get better
9:39 pizza than that out there. You get oil
9:41 drenched with you know lots of dairy and
9:44 god knows what else is on pizzas out
9:46 there in the in the pizza business or in
9:49 industry. And there's a lot of people,
9:52 you know, if they're trying to heal, if
9:54 they're chronically sick or they got
9:55 symptoms and maybe they're suffering
9:57 from acne. Somebody suffering from acne
10:00 eats a regular pizza out there and
10:01 they're just going to explode. They're
10:03 just going to explode. That's it. Like
10:05 that's what's going to happen. A week
10:06 later, two weeks later, three weeks
10:08 later, it's just later. It's going to
10:10 come out. They're going to be getting
10:11 acne. Like, you know, a whole like
10:13 episode of it. So, when you're dealing
10:16 with pizzas like this, which is the one
10:18 of a kind, it's the only way to do it is
10:20 the methylamine pizza. You can have
10:22 this, not have to be in fear that you're
10:25 going to have an acne explosion or
10:26 something like that. Think about that.
10:28 How how great that is. Um, I'm going to
10:32 actually take take a little nibble off
10:34 of this right here if you don't mind.
10:37 This is um the IM Wise. Now, if you guys
10:39 have tried this, tastes kind of.
10:45 I have not had that in a while.
10:49 So good. So good.
10:52 You're coming on on this live stream
10:53 right now. This is not pre-recorded.
10:57 This isn't just like some pre-recorded
10:59 video. This is live right now.
11:04 You guys
11:06 come on down to Venice.
11:10 Cafe Gratitude. Are you in the area? You
11:13 know, I'm hanging out and as you can
11:14 see, I'm going to be around here for a
11:16 little bit because I got a lot of food
11:17 to eat.
11:23 >> Let's just talk about this for a second.
11:25 This is on the menu right now. Here.
11:28 Okay. So, I'm doing the kelp salad right
11:31 now. It's on the menu,
11:33 obviously. And you got the pizza, you
11:36 got the ion noble, the potato bowl.
11:39 I have a really good friend, close
11:41 friend that lives by this potato bowl.
11:44 Like lives by it. Like just eats that.
11:47 Like only eats that the potato bowl. So,
11:50 let's bring that over.
11:53 Now, I'm okay with that because it's
11:55 that good for you and it's that yummy.
11:57 So, I'm not like saying
12:01 eat it.
12:05 >> All right. So, here we are.
12:08 We got this amazing cheese on here,
12:10 which isn't cheese, but here's it's a
12:12 potato cheese, and that's the
12:13 difference. But it's not like the vegan
12:15 cheeses. You guys know like the vegan
12:17 cheeses,
12:18 they're filled with canola oil. All the
12:21 vegan cheeses out there, most of them,
12:23 they're filled with like MSG. There's
12:25 hidden ingredients in there. There's
12:27 nutritional yeast in there, too. There's
12:28 citric acid. All those all those crazy
12:32 ingredients that aren't good for us are
12:34 in
12:36 they're in um like cheese, like fake
12:38 cheeses. Fake cheeses are also
12:40 problematic. And not all of them, you
12:43 know, but some of them can be. We're
12:45 talking about the potato cheese right
12:46 here. So, you can come to Cafe Gratitude
12:48 and get the best cheese you've ever had
12:50 in your life.
12:56 So good. So good. All right. So,
13:00 there's some avocado here with this
13:02 potato ball. And there's these spicy
13:05 beans right here.
13:10 Along with some avocado.
13:15 Here's some lightly steamed greens.
13:22 Come on.
13:25 I mean, how good is this? I'm just
13:27 switching around here if you don't mind.
13:29 I'm moving this over.
13:31 I'm going to have a slice of pizza if
13:33 that's okay. So,
13:36 so good.
13:40 If you guys just came on here, we're
13:41 live. It's not pre-recorded.
13:44 Aw sitting here relaxing.
13:46 Grab pieces
13:50 [snorts]
13:53 fresh arugula right here on top of the
13:55 pizza.
13:57 And the pesto is so good right here.
14:03 All right.
14:10 I mean, heck, you know, this is a fun
14:12 day. I'm just going to sip some celery
14:13 juice.
14:18 I tell people you can heal on
14:20 plant-based. You can heal life
14:23 threatening illnesses, diseases,
14:25 conditions, symptoms.
14:27 Medical medium plant-based is the best
14:30 way to heal. If you want to be
14:31 plant-based, the the information is for
14:34 people who really struggle and they're
14:36 battling health issues. They don't know
14:37 why they're sick. They don't know what's
14:39 going on. And when you're doing metal
14:42 eating protocols and you're plant-based,
14:44 it takes it to another level. So if
14:46 you're actually, you know, keeping out
14:48 um dairy and you're keeping out eggs and
14:51 you're keeping out and you're you're
14:52 vegan or you're plant-based, I mean, and
14:55 you bring in medical
14:57 information, it takes it to a whole
14:59 another level because it's like using
15:02 these healing tools and bringing it in.
15:05 And this is a wonderful restaurant. I
15:08 don't know if you guys Cafe grant too.
15:10 It's not just legendary, but the food is
15:12 just next level. Have the medical medium
15:15 um menu on here. So,
15:19 uh the chef here, Chef Drew.
15:21 >> Hey, good to see you. Great.
15:24 >> Good to see everybody.
15:25 >> Yeah, I'm just taking over this little
15:27 section of the restaurant.
15:28 >> I think you need to have a cookie. You
15:29 didn't get your cookie.
15:31 >> This is why I was hovering. I thought,
15:32 why didn't they bring over the the
15:34 tahini butter cookie? Which
15:35 >> Whoa. Okay, that's another level. Okay,
15:39 you guys. Um, [laughter]
15:41 this is the tahini butter cookie, but
15:43 it's not just the tahini cookie. You
15:46 can't keep this in here, right?
15:47 >> No, they're they're a huge seller for
15:49 us. Yeah, absolutely.
15:50 >> So, if you want to try one, get down
15:52 here and call ahead of time and be like,
15:54 "Do you have the cookie?" You know,
15:56 [laughter] because they might have
15:57 already been, you know, eat.
15:58 >> It's like the pizzas, we sell out, so
16:00 you know, you never know.
16:01 >> Well, Drew, take a seat.
16:03 >> You know what? Do you want Do you want
16:05 to get a little teaser of what we've got
16:06 coming up? Yeah, like do you have any
16:08 more room on this table?
16:09 >> Yeah, I do. I can move stuff around. Let
16:11 me just
16:12 >> stuff over.
16:13 >> I'm going to move the uh I'm changing
16:14 foods out of the way right here.
16:16 >> Okay, we'll move stuff around. Oh no,
16:19 there goes my pizza for you. Yeah,
16:22 >> I'm not moving that tahini cookie out of
16:24 the way. I'm keeping that around for a
16:25 second.
16:26 >> Well, one of the things you have been
16:27 asking for forever is a millet sushi.
16:30 So, we have coming onto the menu uh next
16:33 Thursday. and millet sushi. So, it's got
16:36 uh another fave of yours, the the
16:38 marinated tofu, the pumpkin seed tofu.
16:40 Um marinated millet. We've got some
16:42 spinach in there, a little Persian
16:44 cucumber. Okay.
16:45 >> And also some asparagus
16:47 >> and a a tahini, a sesame tahini sauce
16:50 that I created using your principles.
16:52 Okay.
16:53 >> To sort of, you know, give it a little
16:54 bit of a nice sesame kind of a punch.
16:57 >> Coconut aminos, the lemon marinated uh
17:00 ginger, and then wasabi.
17:02 >> Oh my god. All right. So that's number
17:04 one. I'm going to bring some others.
17:07 >> You guys take a look at this.
17:09 I mean, seriously.
17:11 And on a level of healthy, like on a
17:14 level and a pesto potato salad using
17:18 your potato arugula salad. It's an
17:20 arugula pesto. Um, and I sort of used
17:22 that as the base to start with it. And
17:24 then added in, of course, had some
17:26 greens. I love the greens. So, we added
17:27 in the actual arugula as well. Um, some
17:30 asparagus, some green beans. um some
17:33 shade radish and then your arugula pesto
17:37 and again the sesame tahini sauce I
17:39 think sort of creamy um sort of contrast
17:43 >> and it looks beautiful. It looks
17:44 beautiful.
17:45 >> The pickled red onion, lemon pickle.

22:32 foods. So the rice is organic, but is
22:34 organic. The milk is organic. Everything

24:09 >> Yeah. Head down here. Try these when you
24:12 get a chance. Please. Please.
24:13 >> Thanks. Thank you.
24:14 >> Okay. Take care.
24:16 >> So you guys, I'm just going to eat a
24:18 little bit. If you want to hang out with
24:19 me right now. Um the thing is I have so
24:22 many good things to eat and so many
24:24 options. It's a little, you know, I'll
24:26 just focus here.
24:28 I'm going to like work on these kelp
24:31 noodles for a little bit. They're that
24:33 good
24:35 and so delicious. And um and I'll I'll
24:38 work off of this and then we'll talk
24:39 about some stuff. So, if you're familiar
24:42 with medical eating information, like if
24:44 you're just looking at this, you just
24:45 got on here, like who is this guy?
24:47 Because there's a lot of people out
24:48 there in social media land and like why
24:52 is this guy so special? Why should he
24:54 even like be, you know, tuned into this?
24:56 Just keep in mind me inflammation is is
25:01 a pathway for people who have been
25:04 really ill and gotten their lives back.
25:06 So if you're somebody that like tried
25:08 this, been there, done that, and you've
25:10 tried all kinds of different avenues of
25:12 health and are struggling with symptoms
25:13 and conditions, keep in mind that people
25:16 in the medical need community, they were
25:18 there before. They came from that. They
25:20 rose out of the ashes. And you know,
25:24 like there's so many different like
25:26 avenues to choose from in the health
25:27 world now, right? You can go and try
25:29 this. You go do this keto thing. You can
25:31 go do this carnivore thing. You can go
25:33 do this plant-based thing out there.
25:35 Whatever it is, and then you can listen
25:37 to this guy and this guy and this guy,
25:39 but know that we're talking about, you
25:41 know, decades of healing people, getting
25:45 them better in the worst conditions. The
25:48 term mattress island stems from medical
25:50 medium information because the
25:52 information brought people off of
25:54 mattress island. That's the whole point.
25:56 People who were suffering with their 20
25:57 hours in bed. And I don't know if you
25:59 know anybody who's gone through that.
26:01 Maybe you don't. Maybe you're like that
26:03 doesn't matter to you or something. But
26:05 it matters when you're in that position
26:07 and you're really in that place in your
26:09 life where you're just stuck and you
26:12 can't go to work and you can't live your
26:13 life and you can't go out with friends
26:16 and you can't go to somebody's wedding
26:17 and you can't go to somebody's birthday
26:18 party because you don't know if a
26:20 migraine's going to hit take you out or
26:22 you don't know if your fatigue is going
26:23 to be the worst stage that day. And so
26:27 medical medium information is freedom is
26:29 what it is. And the tools are to propel
26:34 you out of, you know, the woods and get
26:36 you into the light of healing. That's
26:38 the whole point of it. You know, I kid
26:40 around a lot, you know, and I I try to
26:42 have a sense of humor and um and I do I
26:45 do that, but at the same time, my every
26:49 bit of my existence is making sure that
26:51 you have every shot, every possibility
26:54 to heal. That's what matters. That's the
26:56 whole point, you know. And you know,
26:59 it's like it's not just about like food
27:01 and it's about food only and that's it.
27:04 Like, oh, great health food or healthy
27:06 food. No, it's like life-saving tools.
27:08 And it's also direction to getting your
27:12 life better. I'm just going to have a
27:13 little bit more as we're talking if you
27:15 don't mind.
27:17 Um,
27:18 and I I you know what? Like if you
27:22 haven't tried this cup noodle salad.
27:27 Anyway, you guys,
27:29 just know I love you. Pat yourself on
27:31 the back.
27:33 Be compassionate to yourself, please. If
27:36 you're somebody that's struggling, your
27:38 sickness isn't because it's your fault.
27:40 You didn't do it. You didn't cause it.
27:41 It's not how it works. And a lot of
27:43 people who get sick, they think they
27:45 caused it. they think there's a problem
27:47 because in the health world and whether
27:50 it's conventional or or alternative, the
27:53 blame gets put on you. If you're sick,
27:56 that's your problem. You're not working
27:57 out enough. You're not eating good
27:58 enough. You know, you're you're sick
28:00 because that's you. You know, that's
28:02 your thing. Look at the healthy people
28:04 out there. But keep in mind, that's not
28:05 how it works. You get sick. There's
28:07 reasons why we get sick. Pat yourself on
28:09 the back. Have compassion for yourself,
28:11 please. Anyway, I'm over here at Cafe
28:13 Gratitude. Venice, come on down.
28:15 Thank you.
