your liver does a good enough job detoxing itself. there is no diet thats going to make a difference. if you have liver issues you need to see a dr. as for G bombs. you can do all you want to try and prevent breast cancer but you either will get it or you wont. eating/or not eating certain things wont prevent it. Fuhrman is a quack when it comes to many things
lots of cancers and health issues can also be genetic or can be caused by a gene mutating. cancer is one of them. Im not saying not to eat healthy but you dont need to cut anything out of your diet unless you have a health issue,adversion,allergy,intolernace to them. anthony williams is just a journalist/book writer he has no degree in anything that has to do with the human body.health/etc.
his medical advice he claims comes from the spirit world? are you kidding me? LMAO wow I would run far from his books and advice. hes a charlatan at best Fuhrman is just a family doctor and drs get very little nutritional/dietary training hours as it is14 -
You know you need salt and oil in your diet? Sounds like you have bought into a lot of quackery.16

Check this out (Anthony Williams is associated with Goop - which should tell you more than enough):

What's wrong with vinegar?7

This sounds next level GOOP-y because even Gwyneth uses salt and vinegar in her recipes (I think).9 -
As to what I said about your liver and diet not making a difference, I do want to clear up a few things, that if you do have a liver issue or something like NAFLD, a low fat/low cholesterol diet can help but its not a detox for your liver. for me a low fat/ low cholesterol diet is needed because my liver cannot process those things efficiently.but its not a detox or a cure. its just easier on my liver eating this way and my overall health. my liver still detoxes itself(I get routine bloodwork and liver testing done to make sure). I dont have to avoid or cut out corn, soy, gluten, oil, salt, sugar, vinegar.But I do have to avoid alcohol.I can still drink some if I want,in moderation of course. I just choose not to at all.
but the above books/diets op was asking about are not going to do anything for you unless you have issues with those foods. and if trying to lose weight its not going to make any differene either. detoxes and cleanses are just a waste of money.0 -

That is just scary.2 -
The books and tapes of medical intuitive Carolyn Myss were very helpful to me when I was really sick in the early 2000s. (I still had a regular MD.)
That sort of thing is way in the background these days though.0 -

That seems a strange combination of foods to eliminate.
I get being vegan, if that is your ethical philosophy and I get not drinking alcohol for religious, personal or health reasons (alcohol in moderation is ok for most of us but those with liver disease may be best to abstain altogether)
but why gluten unless you have a medical reason??
and why oil, salt, soy, vinegar, sugar??
again, I get reducing them particularly if you have relevant medical reason like diabetes, heart disease etc - but eliminating ???
doesnt sound very evidence based.

I think you need to speak to your doctor about all this. Sounds very unhealthy.9 -
Many people are terrified of diseases that can strike anyone at any time for no particular reason. They want to believe there's a ward or a talisman in the form of a diet or a pill or some health ritual that if they just follow it precisely they can escape the uncertainty of whether or not they will become ill. It gives them a sense of control.
People who prey on this kind of vulnerability deserve a special place in hell, especially when those vulnerable people become ill and the blame falls on the victim because "it wouldn't have happened if they were following the program correctly".23 -

If your liver needs rescuing, you need an emergency room, not some charlatan's woo-diet. Please don't do this to yourself.19 -
Medical Medium?? Does that mean he communicates with friends and relatives that have passed away to find out how you can lose weight?10

Medical Medium?? Does that mean he communicates with friends and relatives that have passed away to find out how you can lose weight?

"...With that in mind, here’s what William says about his own abilities:
'Anthony William was born with the unique ability to converse with a high-level spirit who provides him with extraordinarily accurate health information that’s often far ahead of its time. Since age four, when he shocked his family by announcing that his symptom-free grandmother had lung cancer (which medical testing soon confirmed), Anthony has been using his gift to “read” people’s conditions and tell them how to recover their health. His unprecedented accuracy and success rate as the Medical Medium have earned him the trust and love of thousands worldwide, among them movie stars, rock stars, billionaires, professional athletes, best-selling authors, and countless other people from all walks of life who couldn’t find a way to heal until he provided them with insights from Spirit.'"3 -
^ That takes woo to a whole new level!6

Wasn't until I started reading the article that I realized this is the Goop Ghost Guy.1

While the whole spirit thing is just ridiculous, I do have to wonder if it's a smell-based thing. Dogs can be trained to smell certain cancers, including lung cancer, and there's at least one person, Joy Milne, who can smell Parkinson's disease. She also seems to be able to detect cancer.
Mind you, it doesn't make him any less of an unreliable quack with the whole spirit thing.0 -

How is he smelling people over the phone? He does 30 minute consultations for $500, and suggests supplements for people to cure their Epstein Bar Virus (one the viruses he claims causes cancer).
If it smells like a duck, and walks like a duck, I'm pretty sure I know what type of noise he makes.8 -

Ah, I didn't notice that; I just went by that blurb, and was basing it on his grandmother.0 -

I have EBV and so far no cancer here, had it for a few years (when it was diagnosed). could have had it before then not sure.1 -
I'd love to hear about a diet that actually helped the liver, and am also vegan except occasion eggs or fish, but I want science based medicine. I had unexplained (not A-E or lots of other tests) hepatitis a while ago, and again not as badly, for the last couple weeks. The doctor (based on blood tests/imaging) says it's not due to meds, alcohol, or weight. So I'm not drinking any alcohol at all, and have no appetite. I'm making myself eat some stuff, since I've been losing weight and am tired, and have found stuff with wheat seems to increase pain. Gluten free toddler food and applesauce (which I occasionally mix protein powder in) are all that I can eat without regretting it later, and I'm starting to feel better. However, that isn't proof that this is a healthy liver diet, just that these things are very digestible for me. My sister has to live gluten free, due to Crohn's disease, and I would hate to eat like her unless I had to. Since the liver is kind of important, and some hard to diagnose chronic condition seems possible, I wish I could find a healthy liver diet. But as far as I know, all I can do is avoid alcohol, some meds, and foods that may have toxins on or in them. Maybe exercise helps, since it seems to help everything, but it makes me angry that some guy claims he can help without proper evidence, just to take advantage of people sick enough, or worried enough, to try anything.2

what foods have toxins in them? what is your liver issue?3 -
Maybe I ought to switch my avatar from a chubby anime character drinking sake, after a healthy liver rant. :pensive1
