Celery juice, beetle juice. They all have their purpose. What does a human liver do when it is at "optimal working conditions"? When is it at 100 % ? At age 8 or 10 or 12 ? Our bodies start to die the moment we are born - and start getting seriously worn and old from age 20 onward or thereabouts. Shouldn't we ask ourselves WHAT (if anything) makes our liver "sluggish" ? Livers of animals don't last forever either - compare the liver of a 6 week old chicken (tight, dark blood red, firm) to the liver of an old soup hen of 18 to 24 months. Whitish in colour with dark gray spots, loose to the touch, jelly - like). Put a piece of liver into celery juice for a couple of days, for a week: it will start to stink like any other food.8

I drink celery juice (mixed with cucumber and apple) almost every day. I suffered with really bad psoriasis and cutting out dairy and drinking this every day has completely gotten rid of it. If I feel a flare up coming a few days of celery juices for breakfast and lunch stop it from developing. Don’t let everyone put you off!14

Of course our livers, like all of us, deteriorate with age. Surely nobody expects the liver (heart, lungs, kidneys etc etc) of, say, a 70 year old to be the same as a 20 year old.
You know, natural process of aging.
Yes we should be asking what causes damage to the liver and try to avoid such things - smoking, alcohol in excess , untreated hepatitis C, for example.
But lost as to what point putting a piece of liver in celery juice for a week would serve?????
Is hardly a scientific experiment.
If credible scientific data supports the idea that a particular food is of crucial importance to the liver - then sure, discuss that.
(seems unlikely to me, since humans are evolved to manage fine with a diverse variety of foods)
But silly quack ides not supported by science - Nope.

And here's a link to one of the many articles and videos out there that show he's full of it.

Great article.
Very suspicious that Amazon shows so many 5 star reviews. And at the bottom of the page of Anthony William's books are how to set up an Amazon giveaway to promote your book. I emailed the author of the article you linked to see if Amazon got back to her.
??? I see those announcements on Amazon about giveaways to promote the book all the time. I'm pretty sure those are routine messagesfrom Amazon to authors and publishers, not the other way around.
I wasn't saying they were the other way around.
It's easy for authors to promote their books on Amazon and link to social media.
I'm curious how easy it is for him to manipulate that system.2 -
Celery juice (or powder) is what "natural foods" manufacturers use instead of sodium nitrate. IT's got huge amounts of nitrates in it.
Now, I have very low nitrate woo, but I feel like someone has mixed up the word "Cure." Just because something can be used to "cure" a sausage or a ham doesn't mean it will "cure" your liver.
(The actual issue of whether anything "Cures" or "detoxes" or "Tones" or "Reboots" or "restores" or "replenishes" or "flushes" or "empowers" or "renews" or "kickstarts" .... your liver? Totally different issue and deserving of a whole dissertation on the role of the liver in food woo).7 -
I think I'll continue to do as I've always done, eat the whole celery. I'd much rather have celery sticks with my sandwich than chips, but that's me. I love the stuff. The only manipulating I want done to my celery, is when my teeth are chewing it.1

Why do you think you need to detox your liver? Your livers purpose is to remove toxins from your body. It doesn't need to be detoxed. It IS the detox.
There are people out there who have discovered that if you look good and speak with big fancy words, there's are enough people out there who will believe literally anything you say that you can make enough money off of it. It's the snake oil salesmen of old but with a worldwide reach.

Found this in the Star Metro News on the subway today.

This Anthony Williams "medical medium" is often queried on a thyroid forum I belong to. Yes, he thinks natural stuff like celery juice can "cure" Hashimoto's. He's a .........

All vegetable juices have some nutritional value, but there's nothing magic about any of them, including celery juice.2
