Incorporating the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie into Your Wellness Routine

Toxic heavy metals don’t just leave the body on their own. When it comes to detoxifying the body from heavy metals and promoting overall health, the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie by Anthony William, also known as the Medical Medium, has gained considerable attention for its powerful effects. This smoothie is formulated with specific ingredients renowned for their ability to draw out these metals and enhance detoxification pathways.

For example, the combination of Wild Blueberries, Barley Grass Juice Powder, Spirulina, Cilantro, and Atlantic Dulse in this smoothie is designed to target heavy metals in various parts of the body. Wild Blueberries help remove metals from brain tissues, while Barley Grass Juice Powder prepares mercury for absorption by Spirulina, which in turn detoxifies the brain and liver. Cilantro reaches deep into hard-to-reach areas, extracting metals accumulated over time, and Atlantic Dulse acts as a binding agent in the digestive tract to ensure metals are eliminated from the body.

I've enjoyed this smoothie nearly every day for the past five years, throughout pregnancies and feeding, and my children happily drink it daily too! Gaining momentum, it recently became available at all Erewhon stores across America! I’d be excited about the possibility of bringing it to Australia in the future, offering convenience for those unable to prepare it at home.

Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie FAQ

Is this one or two servings?
This is one serving.

What if I can't have bananas?
You can use mangoes or papaya.

I personally prefer the taste of using frozen mango in place of one banana. If you’re using Wild Blueberry Powder, incorporating frozen bananas or mango enhances the flavour even more!

Will this still be effective if I have regular cultivated blueberries?
Cultivated blueberries do not have the ability to pull out heavy metals like the wild blueberries do. Wild blueberries are the top superfood on the planet because they have learned to adapt and thrive over thousands of years through droughts, fires, and frosts. In contrast, if you were to stop watering cultivated blueberries they would soon die. This unique strength, resilience and adaptability set Wild Blueberries apart from cultivated blueberries and other berries. 

Is it OK to substitute orange juice with coconut water?
Yes, a good quality coconut water is a great substitute. Make sure the coconut water doesn't contain natural flavours and isn't pink or red. You can also use fresh apple juice.

I personally prefer the taste of coconut water over the orange juice in the smoothie!

Can I use coriander essential oil instead of fresh coriander?
No, it’s important that the coriander be fresh.

Can I use any kind of barley grass?
Barley grass JUICE powder is different than barley grass powder. It concentrates the nutritional properties and is the easiest way for the body to digest, assimilate, and utilise its nutrients. In addition, the supplement type and quality you choose matters.

Should the orange juice be fresh or can it be store bought or frozen concentrate?
It’s best to juice it fresh yourself. If that’s not possible, try to find a 100% orange juice without any additives or flavours.

What if one of the 5 main ingredients (Spirulina, Barley Grass Juice Powder, Coriander, Wild Blueberries and Atlantic Dulse) is not available where I live?
It’s best to have all 5, but you will still get benefits with 3 or 4 of the main ingredients.

I don’t like the taste of Coriander. What can I do?
You can try a small amount of coriander in the smoothie to start. The fruit taste will mask much of the flavour of the coriander. If you still dislike it, you can have the smoothie with just one tiny sprig of coriander and slowly increase the quantity over time. Below I explain what’s really happening when someone has an aversion to coriander. When a person perceives an abrupt, harsh flavour from the coriander herb, it means that she or he has a higher oxidative rate of heavy metals in her or his system. This doesn’t mean the person possesses a higher level of toxic heavy metals. Rather, the heavy metals (in this case, usually a combination of aluminium, nickel, and/or copper, at whatever level) in her or his body are corroding rapidly. Corrosion means that there’s toxic runoff, which makes its way into a person’s lymphatic system and saliva. The moment coriander makes contact with the mouth, its phytochemicals start to bind onto any oxidative runoff they encounter—if there’s a lot of this debris in a person’s saliva, it can result in a harsh sensation when eating coriander. In other words, if someone dislikes cilantro, there’s a good chance she or he really needs it.

Can I drink the Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie if I have mercury amalgams in my teeth?
Yes, you can. First of all, if it did pull out the mercury it would be fine because the cilantro and other four ingredients in the smoothie would carry it out. But, your saliva doesn't allow the phytochemical compounds that are in cilantro to bind to the mercury on the surface of the teeth. The saliva in your mouth inactivates the compounds in cilantro until it gets to the stomach where it is reactivated. This smoothie is helpful for anyone who has amalgams.

Heavy Metal Detox: Natural Allies for Cleansing and Repair 

Wild Blueberries: Draw heavy metals out of your brain tissue, healing and repairing any gaps created by oxidation when the heavy metals are removed. It is important to use Wild Blueberries, as they possess unique phytonutrients with special detoxifying capabilities. The potent antioxidants in Wild Blueberries help reverse any oxidative damage left behind by the heavy metal removal. This is especially important for your brain tissue—in fact, Wild Blueberries are the most powerful food for halting or in some cases reversing Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eat at least one cup daily or incorporate Wild Blueberry Powder into smoothies or foods.

Barley Grass Juice Powder: Prepares the metals for complete absorption by the Spirulina. This nutrient-rich grass can pull heavy metals from your spleen, intestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid, and reproductive system. Drink 1-2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, juice or the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie.

Spirulina: This edible blue-green algae draws out heavy metals from your brain, central nervous system, and liver, and soaks up heavy metals extracted by Barley Grass Juice extract powder. Take 2 teaspoons mixed in water, coconut water, juice or the smoothie recipe daily.

Cilantro: Goes deep into hard-to-reach places, extracting metals accumulated over time (including heavy metal inheritance!) Blend one cup in a smoothie (like the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie), juice, or add to salad or guacamole.

Atlantic Dulse: In addition to mercury, this edible seaweed binds to lead, aluminium, copper, cadmium, and nickel. Unlike other seaweeds, Atlantic Dulse is a powerful force for removing mercury on its own. Atlantic Dulse goes into deep, hidden places of the digestive tract and gut, seeking out mercury, binding to it, and never releasing it until it leaves the body. Eat two tablespoons of flakes daily, or an equal amount of strips if it’s in whole-leaf form. Note: As it comes from the ocean, if you are concerned about the dulse itself having mercury, be aware that Atlantic Dulse will not release any mercury it might possess into the body. It holds on to the mercury as it works its way through, and even grabs onto other metals along the way and drives them out as well. Atlantic Dulse is a critical part of the team because it can hang out near the finish line (i.e. our colon), waiting for the other foods that have been grabbing on to heavy metals along the way. It serves as emergency backup, helping ensure that all the heavy metals that made it as far as the colon, actually leave the body.
