Healing Power of Wild Berries

AI Summary

Healing Power of Wild Berries

Source: Medical Medium Radio Show


Summary Wild berries are treasure troves of healing power — they remove toxic heavy metals from the brain and body, contain undiscovered "elevated biotics" (microorganisms) that bypass stomach acid and settle in the ileum to produce B12 and destroy harmful bacteria, and provide the most potent antioxidants on the planet to stop cell oxidation and aging. The wild blueberry is the single most powerful and adaptogenic food in existence.


Core Tools to Use

  • Wild Blueberries (Frozen or Fresh)

    • Why: The most powerful toxic heavy metal remover on the planet — removes mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, and copper from the brain, liver, and body; contains the most potent elevated biotics (undiscovered microorganisms) that bypass stomach acid and bile, settle in the ileum, and help you methylate and produce B12; the most adaptogenic food in existence — adapted to drought, cold, flood; thousands of undiscovered antioxidants, amino acids, and phytochemical compounds in the skin pigment; freezing makes them even MORE potent
    • How: Get frozen wild blueberries from the freezer section (Wyman's brand recommended); add to the heavy metal detox smoothie daily; or get wild blueberry powder (Vimergy brand); the skin contains most of the power — the deeper blue pigment distinguishes wild from cultivated
  • Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie

    • Why: Gets heavy metals securely out of all different levels of the body the proper way
    • How: Use wild blueberries as the berry component; if unavailable, substitute with (in order of preference): any wild berry → blackberries → black raspberries → regular berries; include the other four ingredients (Hawaiian spirulina, barley grass juice powder, cilantro, Atlantic dulse)
  • Wild Berries (All Varieties)

    • Why: All wild berries have toxic heavy metal removal properties, elevated biotics, and potent antioxidants; elevated biotics from a single wild berry eaten even 10-20 years ago still live in your ileum producing B12 and fighting harmful bacteria
    • How: Seek out any available wild berries: bilberries, gooseberries, redcurrants, salmonberries, thimbleberries, lingonberries, huckleberries, wild strawberries, wild raspberries, wild black raspberries, wild blackberries, mulberries, junberries, cranberries; pick them yourself if possible; check rest stops, edges of woods, rural areas
  • Cultivated Berries (Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries)

    • Why: Still have elevated biotics (microorganisms) on them, still have antioxidants and healing properties — just not as potent as wild varieties; the cultivated blueberry skin has less pigment (and therefore less power) than wild
    • How: Get from farmer's markets for maximum elevated biotics; eat regularly and generously — a pint here and there is not enough; if cultivated berries are all you have, eat them — they're still incredible
  • Home-Grown Berries

    • Why: Even non-wild home-grown berries develop elevated biotics when growing; picking berries yourself is a meditation that heals the soul, balances the heart, and balances blood pressure
    • How: Plant blueberry bushes, raspberry canes, blackberry varieties, or black raspberries on any available property; if in a rental with pot-only rules, use large pots with bigger holes drilled in the bottom so roots can grow through into the earth
  • All Fruits (Apples, Melons, Oranges, Papaya, Mango, Pineapple, etc.)

    • Why: All contain antioxidants that stop oxidation and cell death; natural sugars in fruit bond to vitamins and minerals, which is the ONLY way cells will open up and receive nutrients — without fruit sugar, supplements cannot be properly absorbed by cells
    • How: Eat abundantly; make room for fruit in your diet — it's not optional, it's what stops internal aging and disease

Things to Avoid (and Why)

  • Anti-Fruit / No-Carb / Low-Sugar Diets

    • Why: Cells in the body will NOT receive vitamins, minerals, or supplements without natural sugar present; on a no-carb diet, all those supplements from functional medicine doctors are essentially being thrown in the trash because cells won't open to receive them without fruit sugar bonded to nutrients
    • How: Always include fruit in your diet; understand that natural fruit sugar is the delivery mechanism for all nutrients into cells
  • Relying on Animal Protein for Antioxidants

    • Why: There are zero antioxidants in chicken, beef, or any animal protein — eating meat three times a day with only a pint of berries once a week provides nowhere near enough antioxidants to stop oxidation and cell death
    • How: Lower animal protein to make room for fruits and berries; you need far more antioxidants than most people consume to counter the massive toxic load we're exposed to
  • Eating Only Nuts/Coconut Oil on a Vegan Diet Without Fruit

    • Why: Plant-based people can make the same mistake — eating only nuts, nut butters, coconut oil, beans, rice, and gluten-free breads without enough fruit means missing critical antioxidants
    • How: Even on a vegan or plant-based diet, make room for abundant fruit and berries
  • Picking Unknown Wild Berries Without Knowledge

    • Why: Some wild berries on toxic shrubs contain dangerous alkaloids that can make you seriously ill or kill you — even animals and birds won't eat them
    • How: Only pick berries you can positively identify; consult an herbalist or take a foraging class; look for brambles you recognize (blackberries, raspberries are easiest to identify); never eat berries from shrubs that animals avoid

Key Health Information

  • Elevated biotics (undiscovered microorganisms) on wild berries are the most powerful probiotic in existence — they bypass hydrochloric acid and bile salts, settle in the ileum of the small intestine, and no commercial probiotic can touch them
  • Elevated biotics from a single wild berry eaten 20 years ago can still be living in your ileum, still producing B12, still fighting harmful bacteria
  • Elevated biotics stop SIBO (which is actually strep), stop acid reflux, and stop H. pylori — H. pylori cannot thrive when you have enough elevated biotics in the ileum
  • The MTHFR gene mutation "goes away" when you eat enough wild blueberries and build up elevated biotics — because the test is inaccurate and once you methylate better with proper microorganisms, homocysteine levels balance out
  • Natural fruit sugar is the nutrient delivery system — vitamins and minerals must bond to sugar from fruit to be received by cells; without sugar present, cells will not open to receive any nutrient, vitamin, or mineral
  • Oxidation from toxins (not just free radicals) kills cells and causes aging and disease — solvents, air fresheners, heavy metals, medications, DDT, pesticides, radioactive fallout; berries provide the antioxidants to counter this
  • Wild blueberries have tens of thousands of years of information stored in them; every single twig is a different species with different information; no two wild blueberries are the same
  • Freezing berries makes them MORE potent — antioxidants become even more powerful when frozen
  • The wild blueberry skin contains most of the power — far richer and more packed with pigment than cultivated blueberry skin; when defrosted, the pigment moves through everything and turns the inside blue (cultivated doesn't do this)
  • Berry-picking is a healing meditation — touching and picking berries (wild or cultivated) heals the soul, heart, and body; even remembering a time you picked berries triggers a small healing meditation

Personal Information

  • Spirit has been telling him which berries he could and couldn't eat since childhood — this is the gift given to him since age four
  • As a child, would go into the woods and Spirit would identify every berry for him
  • Is not allergic to poison ivy or poison oak — Spirit confirmed this; could roll around in a poison ivy patch with no reaction
  • Spirit told him which root in the woods would treat poison ivy if he ever did get it
  • Grew up in Maine — knows the wild blueberry growing regions of Maine and across the Canadian border intimately
  • Has found and picked wild black raspberries, wild blackberries, wild raspberries, and mulberries at highway rest stops during travels — would fill up his baseball cap with berries
  • Has grown mulberries, blueberries, wild blueberries, and many other berries
  • Eats wild strawberries every year — says they're tiny, incredibly nutrient-dense, sweet, and the bunny rabbits usually get to them first
  • Favorite frozen wild blueberry brand is Wyman's
  • Had just finished writing his fourth book (Liver Rescue) at the time of this recording
  • Gets recognized in health food stores — once went to buy dandelion greens and ended up doing readings in the produce aisle; people approach him asking for readings

Find out what's making you sick and how to heal. Anthony William is the Medical Medium. Hello, I'm Anthony William.
You're listening to the Medical Medium Radio Show, where each week I talk about the most advanced healing information and secrets about health, much of which is not found anywhere else and is decades ahead of what's out there now, who has 10 or 20, 30 years to wait for answers to illnesses, symptoms, conditions, the whole bit. We explore and talk about all the truth, every single day, so that's what we do here. This is the only show out there, the only show out there that's not repackaged or recycled theory made to sound like new information.
The information here doesn't come from interest groups with medical funding strings attached, botched research, the thumb on the scale lobbyists, medical lobbyists, internal kickbacks, persuaded belief systems, private panels, influencers, health field payoffs or trendy traps in both alternative and conventional medicine. Also alternative medicine. That's all the junk science out there that gets in the way of everything.
And so we don't do any of that. The information on the show is pure and unclean, untampered with, pure from a source that came to me since I was age four. And so this is an important show today.
We're talking about wild berries. I had to do a show just on wild berries. I'm really big into the wild berries.
Big, big, big into wild berries. And when I was a child, I would go looking for wild berries and Spirit would tell me which ones I could eat, which ones I couldn't eat. Now, I know that you're not gonna have that with you, okay?
You're gonna have your intuition on what berries to pick in the wild. You're gonna have whatever knowledge too that you've researched or looked up, but you're not gonna have Spirit giving you that whole thing where, yes, you can eat this. No, you can't eat that.
You're not gonna have that. I haven't met anybody yet on my journeys that actually has a voice that tells them, right, point blank, in perfect real time, loud as if somebody was talking to them from the outside of the body, like the gift that was given to me, saying, you can't eat that berry. That one will kill you in the woods.
That one will, but you can eat that one. No one else has that ability. I do, and I'm saying that to protect you, so don't go out in the woods and let your intuition accidentally lead you to picking some red, crazy wild berry that's from a plant that's highly toxic with dangerous alkaloids, and you end up getting sick.
So don't do that. But overall, I want you to learn about wild berries. If you know somebody in your village that actually knows about bilberries and gooseberries and redcurrants and salmonberries and thimbleberries and lingonberries and huckleberries and not any dangerous ones that are creepy on some weird shrub.
So on a shrub that's highly toxic that not even the animals eat. Not even the animals eat. Not even the birds eat.
So just so there could be an herbalist you know. Maybe you're an herbalist yourself. Maybe you're somebody.
Herbalists tend to know more about the edible berries. They spend a lot of time in the field. They spend a lot of time looking in books.
But today's a fun show. And you know what happened is that when I was a child I'd go into the woods and say well what berry is this? Spirit would tell me and then say I could eat it and I'd eat it.
And it was an amazing thing because you know the spirit always knew, and spirit knew that I wasn't gonna be allergic to poison ivy too. So spirit knew that. So I could roll around in a poison ivy patch.
I could roll around in a poison ivy patch. And I knew that I wasn't gonna get poison ivy or poison oak. So, and I said to spirit, what would happen if I got poison ivy or poison oak?
Spirit said, well, we would use this root in the woods to actually put on it. So it was an amazing experience with spirit. And it's my favorite time.
My favorite time in my life. My favorite, that part was the fun part of the gift I was given to me to give to everybody else. And so look, you have wild berries somewhere in your neck of the woods.
You could buy them if you don't. You live in the city, there's no wild berries. In a parking lot, you gotta be careful.
Who knows what can grow? It could be good, could be bad. And you know, when you're in the city, there are shrubs on the corners of parking lots and everything like that.
And it could possess a berry. So you gotta look out. But the bottom line is, is that you could still buy some wild berries, still buy some wild berry powders, too.
I think, you know, like a good wild blueberry powder or something like that. I know Vimergy has one. So there's like, there's ways of getting things if you're in the city or you're away, you can go to the freezer section and you can get wild blueberries in the freezer section in a lot of stores, in the US for sure, and, you know, overseas, I think, and if not, there's also ways of getting, you know, other wild berries in other ways.
There's different kind of berries in different parts of the world. They're called different things and everybody has different berries all over the world and everything. So they are there and we're gonna go into why they're so important.
So we're gonna do that in a minute, too. So I wanna do that. But I was just stressing the fact, I was just pressing about how you can go in the woods, you might get excited after the show and run off into the woods and be like, I'm just gonna grab a berry.
Don't do that unless you know what you're grabbing. Unless you know what you're grabbing. Blackberries are really easy to identify.
They're more easier than you got the wild raspberries and black raspberries. And those are easier to identify. You know, when I'm traveling in a car and going to rest stops at a certain time of the year, you know, off the highways and you go to rest stops, I mean, I've been able to find wild black raspberries, wild blackberries, wild raspberries, just in droves, in abundance, at a perfect time of the year at rest stops.
You gotta worry about somebody peeing on it or something like that, so you have to hope that you get or somebody or some drunk person getting out of a car and puking in some area in the rest stop or something, and you're like, ooh, look at these berries. You gotta be careful, but the point is is that I've been able to go to rest stops and go into the edge of the woods. And always be careful when you're walking in the woods, depending on what part of the country you're in.
It could be a viper or something. You just gotta be careful, but always walk into the woods and actually right on the edge and be literally pulling off piles of blackberries and raspberries and black raspberries. And just filling up my baseball cap with it.
I'd take my baseball cap off my head and just be like, oh my God. And it'd be filling up my baseball cap. My baseball cap would be soaked purple.
It'd be soaked purple and red. And purple and red. And I would just be gobbling them down.
Gobbling them down. Like it was like heaven. It was like, oh my God.
Like this is unbelievable. And so they're out there. And here's, okay, okay.
Here's the point I wanna make. You may not have access to a rest stop that happened to have wild berries at the time, at the right time of year, like I had access to. You may not.
But if you ever had access to a wild berry that you picked one day five years ago, 10 years ago, the elevated biotics, the microorganisms on those berries supersede any probiotic there is in existence, whether it's soil-borne microorganisms, lab-borne microorganisms, any kind of probiotic in a pill, capsule, raw, non-raw, whatever it is out there. Nothing, nothing can touch an elevated biotic. Undiscovered by research and science, microorganisms on a wild berry, as it's growing, and this is the only microorganism that bypasses, I repeat, bypasses your hydrochloric acid.
I repeat, I also add, bypasses your bile, your bile salts, okay, in your duodenum and small intestinal tract, okay, and gets down into the gut deep, far enough, all the way to the ileum, all the way to this little piece of intestinal tract, the ileum, these elevated biotics from wild berries settle in the ileum and they're the things that keep us truly alive, truly alive. You can't get this in a probiotic. I see commercials on television.
I know I'm not supposed to be watching television. And every now and then I end up watching it for some reason or another, whether I'm over at the family's house or whatever it is. And I see a commercial, and it's a probiotic commercial.
Oh, my doctor says this one's best, blah, blah, blah, and hoo, ha, ha, and ho, ho, ho. And let me tell you something. It's ridiculous, ridiculous compared to what this does.
You can eat a wild berry 10 years ago, and you still have an elevated biotic microorganism that's sitting in the ileum of your gut, sitting in there. And what is it doing? Why is it important?
It's the microorganism that truly helps you methylate and create B12. Like truly create it yourself to keep it so that when you even take B12, like the B12 I always recommend, the adenosyl methylcobalamin variety, when you actually take that B12, or any B12, say you took a crappy B12 from some crappy supplement company, or for some hyped up trendy whatever supplement, and it had B12 in it, and it wouldn't even remotely work unless you had at least some of the microorganisms in your alien, in your small intestinal tract that actually produce B12, so that when you even take B12, it literally creates a bioactive measure. Like it bioactively turns that B12 you took on, literally turns it on like clicking a switch.
And that's just not all what these microorganisms do. That's not even all. They do so much more than that.
I'm just giving a tidbit about what they do. And that's off of a wild berry you picked 20 years ago. 20 years ago.
Think about that. How incredible is that? And research science doesn't even know any of this.
This just doesn't even know. That's just whatever. Whatever.
Don't even look into that. You're not even gonna find anything. And so, but this is, and this is what I've been taught from spirit, you know, just right, just eight, nine years old in the woods and picking berries.
I was told that information about the elevated biotic when I was eight years old. Eight years old. That was a long time ago.
I'm not gonna try to date myself or age, you know, or make myself older than I am. That was a long time ago. And so, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's really important to know. So wherever you are, whatever country, wherever you are in the world, a wild berry could be around.
I know mulberries grow everywhere. I've been at rest stops. And the mulberries were like, they were like coming out.
They weren't ripe yet. They were coming out on the mulberry trees. And it's incredible because it's a tree that has a berry.
So it's a tree that has a berry. An amazing, amazing tree. The mulberry tree, the roots go so deep into the ground, they go so deep into the ground that they, that the mulberries are so loaded with nutrients.
And we're going to cover some of those nutrients that all these berries have. So what happens is that, you know, I would see the rest stops, I would see all the mulberries coming out. It'd be like, whoa, I'm coming back here.
So I would come back on my travels at the right time. And they would be falling off the trees, thousands and thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of mulberries, juicy and purplish, black, and they just, and white mulberries, and white mulberries falling off of trees. And I would just like take a bucket.
I'd have a bucket in the car. I'd take a bucket, I'd fill up a bucket of mulberries. That's what I would do, take them home and I would put them in the freezer.
I'd put them on the freezer. Berries are remarkable because they're one of those fruits that can be frozen and they only get better. How is that possible?
Well, the wild blueberry especially. The wild blueberry is a miracle all in its own, the wild blueberry when you pick it and eat it or eat it fresh. When you freeze it, it only gets better.
I don't mean tasting. It tastes just as good, I guess, depending on who's whose and what's palate and whatever anybody's opinion is. That's not it.
When it's frozen, it's antioxidants and the oxidants even become more potent. More potent. That's what's amazing about that.
And with most berries, they all have that kind of ability. So I would freeze the mulberries and I've grown. I've grown mulberries.
I've grown everything. I've grown everything. I've grown blueberries.
I've had wild blueberries, you name it. All of it. And if you can't get a wild berry and you wanna grow a berry, you wanna grow a strawberry.
Wild strawberries, they're so cute. They're little, tiny little strawberries. You could find them.
I eat wild strawberries every year. You gotta pick them and chances are, bunny rabbits got to them before you get to them. But when you even get a handful of them, this tiny little handful of wild strawberries, it's like they're so nutrient dense and they're so delicious.
They're so sweet. It's like it does something to the brain. In fact, it's an incredible brain food.
We're gonna talk about why too, about why it's an incredible brain food. Really important, has a lot to do with toxic heavy metals, the very thing that inhabits our brains and rots them out and eats and rots our brains out. So we have, we get so many problems.
So many problems that talk about depression, anxiety, everything else under the sun and it feeds viruses, the heavy metals and everything and these wild berries you wanna have so you can actually get rid of those toxic heavy metals out of your body. So anyway, I picked wild strawberries. So whatever you're doing, whatever you find, here's interesting, if you grow something that's not wild, like you grow a regular bush blueberry, a high bush blueberry or something, not a low bush wild, you grow, sorry, there's high bush wild blueberries too.
So don't get me in different parts of the country, in different parts of the world. In Europe, there's high bush wild blueberries. But if you grow one that's not wild, it still has microorganisms on the blueberry when you pick it.
So please plant hybrid varieties of blueberries. Please plant them and do that. And so get blueberries at your nursery, get raspberries, get blackberry varieties.
You can actually get black raspberries and plant them if you have any property to plant them on. If you're in a rental, you know, and you're gonna be there for a couple of years, plant them. Definitely in a little side area or in a pot or in pots, but I would do it.
You know the trick about the pots is if you have rules where you are, like you're in a rental or anything like that, I've been in those situations, there's rules and stuff like that where you can't plant anything, but you can have a pot of something. I, you know what I would do when I done this is I put holes at the bottom of the pot, bigger, big holes. You know, that's what I would do.
I would have a friend or something help me like make bigger holes at the bottom of the pot somehow, whether they're big plastic pots or big whatever, so much so that you can plant something bigger in that pot, something that can grow and the roots go through the pot down into the earth and then it tricks everybody because it's in the pot, but you're able to grow it because the roots can really go somewhere and they're not gonna just trapped in this little pot. That's one cool technique and you can grow like all kinds of things. The bottom line is one thing you could grow, I mean, you can grow things, you can plant your own blackberries, your raspberries, and they'll have the microorganisms on it that I was talking about, the elevated biotics that nobody knows about, that actually go to the elium.
And these elevated biotics, they stop SIBO, which is strep, we talk about that in the SIBO show, it's actually strep and nobody knows it's strep. We talk about that. And these microorganisms, these elevated biotics, they stop strep, which stops SIBO, they stop all kinds of acid reflux problems because of other problems in bacteria, they stop H pylori.
H pylori can't thrive when you have enough elevated biotics in your ilium and other parts of your small intestinal tract. It can't survive H pylori, just so you know. And that's the power of the berries.
It's also the power of apples. Like an apple, you pick it in orchard, you get it at a farmer's market. Farmer's market berries, that's awesome all on its own.
Wild or not wild, you get the farmer's market and you get the berries. Any kind of berries, raspberries, blueberries, whatever, blackberries, they'll have all the microorganism on there. They'll be on there.
The elevated biotics will be on there. Those microorganisms are really powerful and you can actually just eat a pint of those berries at the market and it gets down to your elib. Now, here's the deal though.
The microorganism that grows on a wild berry, such as a wild blueberry or wild black raspberry or wild raspberry, much different. It's a different breed of elevated biotic, much stronger than just your regular farmer's markets, regular hybridized or farm grown berries. Much stronger and more powerful.
So if you had one blackberry at a rest stop five years ago, it supersedes and still beats out the other microorganisms in just regular berries. That doesn't mean stop eating regular berries. You better eat those regular berries if you can at any given chance.
They still offer awesome, awesome healing properties. Now like really they're incredible, so don't worry. But the wild blueberries and the wild blackberries, wild black raspberries, wild, all the different wild berries that I'm talking about.
The redcurrants, the salmonberry, the junberry, thimbleberry, lingonberry, huckleberry, gooseberry, I think I said that already, bilberry, all the different ones, cranberries. Wild, they have this microorganism. So I just wanted to cover that in the show.
So why eat a wild berry that's edible? Why eat a edible wild berry? One reason is they all have toxic, heavy metal removal properties.
That's one thing. The most powerful heavy metal removal system or built-in system is the wild blueberry. Now that is the most powerful.
The wild blueberry removes toxic, heavy metals out of the brain like no other berry does or anything does. It also removes toxic, heavy metals, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, whatever, copper. It removes those out of the liver too and out of other places of the body.
So that's the frozen wild blueberry you can get or a good wild blueberry powder or a wild blueberry you get in your neck of the woods all over the planet. But if you can't get that, that's okay because there's all these other wild berries I'm mentioning that have toxic, heavy metal removal properties. So it harbors certain amino acids that are undiscovered by research and science.
Now, wild berries have so many amino acids that are undiscovered that they're not even on the amino acid lists. There's no list that has what's in there. It's not possible.
They haven't explored every single amino acid and the amino acid with the pigments too. They haven't explored all the antioxidants that are in these pigments. I mean, that are all parts of the pigment of the anthocyanins that are all parts of the berries.
They haven't explored or found enough information on those either discovered, not to mention so many other aspects of the wild berries that they haven't explored either. So these things are treasure troves. Wild berries are treasure troves of power, of healing power, true treasure troves.
Treasure troves, so why is it important to get toxic heavy metals out of the body? Because they cause brain rot. Neurotransmitter problems, neurotransmitter chemicals die.
Neurotransmitter chemicals explode. Neurotransmitter chemicals get dirty from runoff from toxic heavy metals running out of cells and running through brain tissue, hampering neurons and neurotransmitter chemicals so electrical impulses explode or die out or go into a different direction. And then people get brain fog, brain fog.
Toxic heavy metals also feed viruses such as Epstein-Barr responsible for dozens and dozens of autoimmune diseases, including Hashimoto's, RA, lupus and so on and just move on down the track, MS, you name it. So the Epstein-Barr likes to feed off of toxic heavy metals. You eat wild berries and enough wild berries, you actually get rid of the toxic heavy metals out of the body, out of the brain, out of the liver, out of other tissue in the body that feed Epstein-Barr virus and other viruses.
So it's a win-win. You can't lose. It's a win-win.
You know what you're doing. You know where you're going and boom, you win. You know, that's the whole point.
You have a direction and it's critical. So heavy metals, they get, they get, they attach through kind of a magnetic quality that occurs with the phytochemical compounds, the undiscovered phytochemical compounds in the wild blueberry and also all the other berries. So they attach themselves to these heavy metals, toxic heavy metals, mercury and so forth, and then carry them out of the body, carry them out.
The heavy metal detox smoothie, I always promote and talk about that spirit created that one there is critical because it gets heavy metals securely out on all different levels of the body the proper way. So make sure you, whatever berry you have, you throw it into, if you don't have the frozen wild blueberry or the wild blueberry powder for your heavy metal detox smoothie, then get the next wild berry you could find to put in that smoothie. And if you can't find that, then put the next non-wild berry, whether it's raspberries or whether it's blackberries.
I'd pick probably blackberries or a black raspberry. If you can't find a black raspberry, then a blackberry. Just get a blackberry.
Even if it's just grown in a farm, you get the blackberry and you throw that in the smoothie and then you get the rest of the heavy metal, you know, anti-heavy metal that are incredible that'll help bind on and take it out of the body. And then that'll work in the smoothie. So I'm just giving you options if you don't have all the options.
If you don't have all the resources, I'm giving you options. It's really important to know. So the heavy metals, toxic heavy metals, you want to get that out of your brain.
You want to get that out of your body. All that's important. That's just the bottom line.
That's another one. You want the elevated biotics when you can. And I talked about that a little bit and that's important.
So we need to keep that in mind. Oxidation, and we talk about antioxidants. Antioxidants are in all fruits.
But understand that antioxidants in berries are very potent and powerful. There's a lot of incredible anti-oxidants. I almost said antibiotic.
And a lot of incredible antioxidants. And in those, okay, in those, they have everything to do with oxidation and stopping oxidation. That's the whole bit.
Oxidant, oxidation, that's the whole point there. So what happens in our body? Our cells die, they oxidize.
You know why they oxidize? From poisons and toxins. Poisons and toxins, not even just free radicals.
That's just whatever. I mean, we're talking, I'm talking about tons and tons of, see, free radicals is really kind of a broad generalized toxins that your body produces. That's what the free radical thing is all about.
The free radical thing doesn't cover real toxins. Not just basic human toxins we produce. Free radical topic, that generalized free radical thing doesn't cover all the solvents, poisons, cleaners, detergents, air fresheners, carpet chemicals, metals.
It doesn't cover all of the toxins and troublemakers. The list goes on and on and on. Medications, pharmaceuticals, new and old.
Hereditary DDT, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, larvicides, redenticides, doesn't cover all that. I mean, this is above and beyond free radicals. It's above and beyond free radicals.
So, you have to understand that. So, the berries have these antioxidants to fend you, to fend off and protect you from these oxidants because these are real oxidants, real stuff. This is real poison that's out there.
It's everywhere. Nanotechnology, heavy metals falling out of the sky, all kinds of stuff falling out of the sky. Radioactive fallout, everything.
It's in our way and it's everywhere. It's not just exhaust fumes. That's a whole nother ballpark.
It's not even just that. So, you have to understand what you're dealing with and what you're up against. And so, when you're up against all those different poisons and toxins, and you know about it, what do they do?
They oxidize, they damage tissue. They damage tissue. They damage all kinds of different things such as that.
They damage cells, cell structures. They pop cells. They poison them.
They pollute them. It oxidizes. These cells break down.
These cells oxidize. And oxidizing means dying. That means part of our body is slowly aging, or quickly aging, or slowly dying, or quickly dying.
And some random way along the years. Parts of our body is subjected to that. That's what's happening.
And if you have more oxidation and more cell damage and more cell deaths occurring, then cell life, you know, developing to replace it, you age faster and faster and faster and faster. So what food is important to stop that? Because nobody gauges that.
Nobody says, oh, well, a pint of regular berries is good enough to protect you along with your high-fat, trendy, high-protein animal protein diet. Get a pint of berries. Remember, no sugar, no carbs.
Just get your pint of berries. It's low glycemic. And then make sure chicken for lunch, make sure grass-fed meat for dinner, maybe some good eggs for breakfast.
Get your pint of berries somewhere in the middle of it. It's not enough. It's not enough for a healthy, trendy diet.
It's not even enough. Even if you're losing a little weight and feeling a little bit better because you got rid of processed food, it's not enough to stop internal aging, the very thing that kicks our butt. You know, when you're younger and you feel indestructible for a moment and all's good, you wouldn't believe what an extra five years of living longer could do when you're old and older.
You wouldn't believe when you're 70 years old how living to 76, what that would mean. You wouldn't believe if you're 90, living to 94, what that would mean. And then, what constitutes losing those four years?
What constitutes losing five years or six years? You wouldn't believe living to 60 when maybe you could have lived to be 70, 10 more years. No one can gauge it, no one can measure it, no one can weigh it.
But it's in the mix somewhere. It's in the mix somewhere where how disease begins and from all the toxins we have in our body, and viruses included that feed off the toxins and how disease grows and cancers grow and everything else. And that's how critical these antioxidants really are, these undiscovered antioxidants really are.
That's how critical they are. It's unbelievable. So these different oxidants that stop oxidation, that stop ourselves from dying and stop disease from happening are in fruit.
They're in fruit, all fruits. They're in everything, they're watermelon, they're in melons, they're in apples, peaches, plums, cherries, nectarines. They're in, am I forgetting anything?
They're even in pineapple. They're in oranges, did I forget that? Tangerines.
They're in grapefruit. They're in pomelos. If you're into exotic grapefruit, they're in exotic citrus.
They're in everything fruit based. They're in kiwis, they're in lemons, they're in limes. They're in all fruit, papaya, mango, I forgot those, didn't I?
And then of course all the berries. And I bet you I forgot some fruits. I bet you I did.
Somewhere along the way in all of that. Plums. I forgot plums, I think.
I forgot plums. And so you have to understand these are the antioxidants. And if you only have one apple, a green apple, because you're afraid of sugar and fruit, because chicken doesn't have an antioxidant in it.
There's no antioxidants in chicken. I don't care what anybody says. I'm not anti-animal protein.
I'm not anti-plant-based either. I'm not anti-vegan. I'm not anti-plant.
Someone said to me, wait a minute, if you're not anti-animal protein, then you have to be anti-vegan. Because there's nobody that eats animal protein that isn't anti-vegan in some way, even partially or mostly or however they feel. They're anti-plant-based.
So if you like animal protein for people, I mean, you're not against it, then you have to be against the vegans. I said, no way, no way. I've seen the plant-based diets that Spirit has recommended, including the 28-day cleanse in my first book, including also my 90-day cleanse in the thyroid book.
I've seen plant-based turnaround disease like nothing turnaround disease. I've seen plant-based save lives, turn people's lives around. They're like, I don't understand.
If you're okay with animal protein, how is that possible then? Because I don't have a belief system. And I can't, I'm not allowed to, Spirit won't let me have a belief system.
Spirit just gives me the truth, so it separates me from a belief system so I don't lead somebody astray. So when I tell the person that's on a lot of animal protein so I don't leave them astray, lead them astray, I tell them you can have a little bit of animal protein, but you gotta make room for the very things that are gonna keep you alive to live the longest life. And they're like, what do you mean?
Chicken doesn't have all the antioxidants? No, it doesn't, and you're taking up space. And grass-fed beef doesn't have all the antioxidants, you're taking up space.
And someone would say, well, wait a minute, doesn't the cow eat all this grass, if it's grass, pasture-raised, if it's grass-fed? I said, grass, not berries. Is the cow on a berry diet?
Is the cow on a wild berry diet, 100% wild berry diet? And they'll say, no, the cow's not on a 100% wild berry diet. Then the cow meat, the flesh, the protein, the flesh, and fat with it, it's protein and fat combined, the flesh won't be filled with all that berry antioxidant.
It won't be filled with all the antioxidants from berries. And they're like, whoa, I get it. I said, so if you're eating meat three times a day and you're eating a pint of berry once a week, how are you going to get the antioxidants to stop oxidation?
How are you going to stop the oxidation? How are you going to stop your cells from dying? How are you going to stop that from occurring?
How are you going to allow new cells to be created? Because it's not even just that. You got all those poisons and toxins in you from all other avenues of life.
I mentioned earlier from solvents to stuff falling out of the sky, to fallout, to mercury, to lead, to everything that's in our system every day, to chlorine, to formaldehyde, to everything we get in us. It's crazy. To aluminum byproducts, fluoride, you name it, it's in us.
And it's poisoning us, to medications, the antibiotics we took years ago, to everything else that you have. It's in your liver, it's in your body. And how are you going to stop that from killing your cells?
You're going to stop that from killing your cells with grass-fed meat. If you think that's going to happen, that's not going to happen. And that's not me being against grass-fed meat.
That's not me being against animal protein. I'm just telling you it's not going to happen. The plant-based person, though, can also make a mistake.
And they can sit there and not eat enough fruits and berries, too. I've run across plant-based people. They're afraid of fruit.
And they're eating nothing but plant-based protein with no fruit. And they're eating nothing but, you know, they're doing nothing but nuts and nuts and nuts. And nuts have antioxidants, too.
Of course they do, but it's different. It's a different type of antioxidant. It's still incredible, but it's a different kind.
They're not getting enough fruit. They're afraid of fruit. They're doing nothing but coconut oil, and they're doing tons and tons of almond butter, and they're doing other different things, or they're just vegan, and they're just eating nothing but too much beans and rice, too much beans and rice, too much beans and rice, and too much breads, and too much gluten-free breads, and they're not making any room for fruit and antioxidants.
I've seen the mistake made by the vegetarians, too. So it's not a belief system. It's just truth.
And if you can't handle the truth, then you're not going to protect yourself. Then you're not going to protect yourself. That's the whole point.
I know the listeners here. I know you guys, you can handle the truth. You guys are tough.
You guys are tough, man. I can't even mess with you guys. You guys are tough.
You can handle the truth about health. You can handle everything I'm saying. I mean, you know, I know.
In fact, some of you guys, you guys scare me, man. You scare me because you're militant. You're militant.
You kick my butt. You'd call me out if I wasn't giving you the truth. You would say, give us the truth.
Don't be messing with us. You guys are tough. I watch you guys.
You guys are healing. You guys are doing stuff. I believe in you.
It's unbelievable. You blow me away. And I can't do you wrong.
I got to deliver and I can't mess up. You guys would call me out, I mess up. If I don't deliver, you guys would call me out on it.
And rightfully so. I would if I were you. Kick me on the punch.
Kick me on the ball. So here's the deal. You got to make room for those berries.
You can't just have a pint of berries here and there. You can't have a few berries here and there. You can have a green apple.
And that's one of the mistakes made on the high protein front. Like I said, there's mistakes made on the vegan front too. But the bottom line is you need to get those oxidants out.
And you need to get the anti in through the berries. So wild berries are a big deal. It's really a great brain food.
But every sugar that's natural in a wild berry and every sugar that's natural in any fruit turns eventually glucose for the brain and it attaches itself to nutrient. Here's the most important fact that you're going to get out of this whole show right now, out of all these great, great facts from Spirit and Truth from Spirit. The most important truth you're going to get right here is that your cells in your body will not receive a nutrient or a vitamin or a mineral without sugar involved.
It cannot receive it. You go on an anti-sugar diet, meaning critical clean carbohydrates, anti-fruit, anti-healthy carbohydrate diet. If you go on a complete no-carb diet, your cells, they won't receive all those gobs of vitamins you're taking, all those vitamins, all those mineral supplements, all those nutraceuticals from all your functional medicine doctors, handing them out left and right.
When they put you on the no-carb diet, you're throwing all those supplements away. They're getting thrown in the trash, technically, when you take them, because they can't be received. They can't be received into the cells of the body and the cells of the organ unless there's a sugar present.
It won't happen. So you're on minimal sugar. You're on old sugar reserves from your liver and brain when you're dealing with those no-carb diets.
And so you're not even maximizing your supplementation that you're getting from your doctors and from your practitioners and from your healers. You're not even maximizing them unless there's enough fruit in the diet. You're not, because the sugars in fruit have all the minerals and vitamins in the berry already there, the antioxidants, the phytochemicals, the phytochemical compounds, all the different nutrients, the trace minerals, the micro trace minerals, the macro, everything is there.
And what happens is the sugar in the berry bonds to it. And as it's traveling through your bloodstream, your cells will open up in the organs and tissue to receive those minerals and vitamins and phytochemical compounds and nutrients only because there's a sugar attached to it from the fruit. So that means when you take a supplement, you better be eating some fruit too to get those supplements to work for you so that cells open up and receive that.
And this is a critical piece of information you won't hear anywhere. You won't hear it on the internet or hear whatever, hear it on the internet, whether it's some talk or YouTube. You won't catch it in any peer review study or anything.
That's all junk and garbage, all biased stuff with agendas. You're not going to catch it in there. Truth, you're not going to catch out there with that.
No, you're not. Because truth, there's no money made off of truth. There's never any money to scam off of truth.
So here's the deal. Here's the deal. You want to get those antioxidants.
Wild berries can do that. You know, coming from where I came from in Maine, okay, coming from where I was raised, all right, and with that Maine blood and everything else like that, those wild blueberries, spirit couldn't tell enough about why they were so amazing and what was in them. The wild blueberry has thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of years of information sitting inside of them and in the plants, tens of thousands, and not every plant is the same.
Every single twig coming out of the ground, out of the shrubs, the low bush shrubs, has different information, different information. It's a different species than the little twig coming up next to it. They all harbor different information.
There's no one berry is the same out of the wild blueberry patch. They're all different even though they look the same mostly and they act the same and they sit on the same low bush. They're all different.
That's the power. What that means is it's the most adaptable fruit there is on the planet. Spirit told me that there's no herb or food or fruit or anything existence on the planet that has the adaptive nature than the wild blueberry.
It truly helps the body adapt. The plant has adapted to drought, to cold, to everything the world can throw at it, all to flood, to everything. Here's the cool thing.
You can't get the wild blueberry from Canada or from Maine. There's wild blueberries growing all over Europe. There's wild blueberries growing in a lot of different places.
South America, they grow wild blueberries. There's wild blueberries down there. Wherever you are in the world, you can get them.
Now, if you can't get wild blueberries, don't panic, because there's all these other wild berries I mentioned. They call them different names all over the world. And you just got to find a little help to navigate.
And like I said before, if you don't even have any access to any wild berry whatsoever, because some reason there's no resource or ability to get that access or whatever you can do, then you get regular berries. A great difference between the cultivated blueberry, the big blueberry that's in the clam shell at the store, and then the frozen wild blueberry or a fresh wild blueberry, the great difference is the skin is, there's a difference between the skin of the cultivated one and the wild one. There's where the great difference is.
The skin of the wild one is so much more richer, richer and packed with pigment. So much more blue is in the skin of the wild blueberry. And that's where most of the power is.
That's where most of the power is, the miraculous, miraculous benefits and nutrients and anthocyanins and undiscovered amino acids, including undiscovered everything. I mean, it's all in there. And so that's a big thing.
The cultivated blueberry, even though it's healthy, and even though if it's your only option, you still need to get it, but the cultivated blueberry, the skin, it's not as packed, it's not as saturated with pigment, even though it's blue, like it's blue, it's not as packed or saturated. It can't touch that level. So when you cut in to a cultivated blueberry, the pigments, they never bleed, they never kind of bleed out of the skin onto the flesh to show a lot of blue.
It's just all white. It's all white in the center of a cultivated blueberry. And the wild blueberry, there's so much pigment in the skins that many times, sometimes if you cut through it, it actually can, the knife will drag that pigment across like no other and it'll get onto the flesh and there'll be a tint of blue.
There's been some confusion out that about something I said, where I said the inside of a wild blueberry is blue and then the cultivated is white. Well, the inside of wild blueberries is still not white, but it's clearish white, not entirely white. Don't get confused about that either.
It's clear. It's a little clearish white. But the difference is there is a pink hue, naturally, in the inside of the wild blueberry that you can hardly tell.
From the eye, it's not easy to tell. You can cut open blueberries all day long. You're not going to be able to tell.
But there's a pink hue in the wild blueberries. So don't get confused. You know, my favorite wild blueberry is the frozen ones in the frozen section.
One of my favorite brands is my Wyman. That's where I go, and I go get my blueberries, the Wyman's blueberries, and those are wild because I know where they grow them and everything. Because I know all about the state of Maine, and I know the Canadian area across the border there and all that stuff.
But the bottom line is, if it's... What happens is, is that color will drag from the knife when there's so much pigment many times in the wild blueberries. And there's different sizes of wild blueberries.
Sometimes the smaller ones, you cut through it and the blue streaks across. And the bigger ones, the pink hue streaks across more. And the cultivated one, the cultivated one, there's not that much pigment at all in that skin.
You wouldn't believe the lack of pigment in there, which is the power, the magical, incredible adaptogenic power. That's the adaptogenic power in there. And it's lacking that, but it doesn't mean it's not good for you.
And if it's all you got, you better eat those berries, you better eat those clamshell cultivated berries, those big large ones. But let me tell you, the wild ones, I can't even say enough about what they do and how that deep rich blue is in the skin and what happens when you do anything with it. Whatever it is, you put it in the smoothies, it's unbelievable the difference.
Or even like I said, you cut it with a knife, it can even drag that pigment across many times. And so don't, you know, so just know that the power of that is just amazing. And another thing is that when you defrost a wild blueberry, a frozen wild blueberry, when it's completely defrosted, it'll become all blue inside too.
That's what's incredible. And that's another thing that I was saying, and I think it got confusing out there, but that's what happens. Different when they're frozen solid, and then you actually try to cut them open.
When they're completely defrosted, that pigment is so powerful, it moves through everything in every, it practically moves through everything. It's incredible how it does. When you defreeze, cultivate it, large blueberry, and defrost it, it doesn't do that.
That's the power of the pigment in the wild blueberry. It's just really amazing, and what that can do for you. But listen, all the wild berries, like I said, are incredible.
So I talked about the oxidation in the cells in life. I talked about the toxic heavy metals. I talked about all of the poisons.
Not all of them. There's so many I haven't even listed that get into your liver, into your body and into every organ. I talked about, okay, here's another thing I didn't talk about.
If you pick a berry in nature or at a farm where you can pick your own berries, like your own strawberries, that's a meditation that's so powerful and healing for the body. Once you touch that berry, touch that strawberry, touch that wild berry, or even that cultivated berry, that cultivated blueberry, because you're picking your own in a basket and you're bringing your family. It heals your children.
It heals their soul. It heals their heart. It does everything.
It balances the heart. It balances the blood pressure. It literally systematically redesigns your whole being.
When you're out in the farmers, and you're out in that farmland, and you're at your pick your own apple, pick your own berry, pick your own strawberry, pick your own blueberry, it's healing to the body. So keep that in mind. If you ever get an opportunity to do that, and if you only get an opportunity once in a lifetime to do that, then it's still valuable.
It's once, and you can remember it. You have to understand, if you remember picking a berry, whether wild, oh my God, the healing that occurs, I can't tell you how many wild blueberries I picked as a kid and still do whenever I get a chance, not as much as I would like for sure now. But things just got too crazy over the years, but I have had a chance, and I have done it, and I could remember the times when I picked the wild blueberry.
It heals the soul by remembering because that's the power. The wild berries, all wild berries you pick, that adaptive nature that they all do have, the wild blueberry happens to have a little bit more of a powerful adaptive nature, but they all do, that power that they have to adapt, that resonate, that touches your body when you pick the berries, and when you remember it from five years ago, instantly you get a small healing, like a meditation that occurs when that happens. If you picked it in a farm, a cultivated blueberry, same thing though.
There is some power there, a tremendous healing that you access and you go back to. This is powerful, how it works. So that's something to always remember when you're doing that, when you're picking any berries, and you're picking blueberries of any kind, and you're picking cultivated berries, and you're picking wild berries, it's incredible what happens.
So become an expert. It takes time. Talk to some herbalists.
Take an herbal class just to learn about berries if you need to. There's little herbal classes where they're small, like you go into the bush, you go into the woods for a little bit, and just for a day or just for a couple of hours. And you can help, somebody can help you identify what a couple of different, what some brambles are, what some edible brambles are.
And you can figure out where to go and what not. And you can learn if that's something you can experience in your life. And it may happen once in your life.
It may happen once a year. I know people that made it a habit to say, you know, every year I'm going to go on this nature walk with this one herbalist, and it's at this one time, and it's in Oregon, it's in Washington, it's in New England, it's in whatever, it's in Ohio, and we're going to go on a little nature walk, and we, there's this little berry patch that I see there every year. I mean, there's all kinds of ways of doing it.
If you can't just get to a farm, but at least try to get to a farmer's market nearby, near you, whether it's in Europe or here in the US or somewhere else in the world. Get to a farmer's market where someone grew and picked some berries, whether they're cultivated or they happen to be wild, and get those berries, get those elevated biotics in your body so they get down to your helium, so they actually help you heal and methylate like nothing else. If you get enough wild blueberries in your body, like the heavy metal detox smoothie I always talk about and enough wild blueberries in your body, you'll not only lower your viral load that's in your liver and other places in your body like the Epstein Bar and your thyroid, you'll not only get rid of your viral load that sits in the thyroid and sits in other places from the Epstein Bar, but you'll get rid of the heavy metals and toxins, a lot of the toxins, and guess what happens?
You also build your elevated biotics and your helium in your small intestinal tract, and guess what happens? You methylate better, and guess what happens? The gene that everybody says people have, the methylation problem, the MTHFR gene mutation, goes away, goes away, and the practitioner can't believe their eyes because if you had a real gene mutation, it would never go away.
It goes away because the test is not accurate, number one. I've always said this. I talk about it in the books.
And number two, once you're methylating better with the microorganisms that do that in your elium from wild berries that you're picking or from anything you're picking out of your garden that's not even wild, there's lots of microorganisms there, you start to heal, and your liver works better, and your elium can produce B12. And so what that does is it lowers your, it lowers your homocysteines and everything starts to balance out. So this is just an, this is just one example of the power, the healing that these wild berries have, never mind so many other reasons why we need to eat them.
There's so much information in a wild blueberry that it will never be weighed and measured by research and science ever, and it never will, a thousand years could go by, the world and the global empires could fall. They could fall and the planet could be a wasteland 2,000 years from now, and they still wouldn't know what was in a wild blueberry or anything else. Don't think about those things.
Right now, everything's great. We just move ahead. We live our lives.
It's all good. So listen, look for wild berries when you can. Learn how to pick them, get them from farmers markets.
Everything I talked about. Take one day at a time. I stand behind you.
This was a fun show. I hope you guys enjoyed it. It's a really cool little wild berry show.
I love you guys. God bless you. Take care.
One day at a time. I'm with you.
