Methylation & Gene Mutation

AI Summary

Methylation & Gene Mutation

Source: Medical Medium Radio Show


Summary Anthony William explains that the MTHFR gene mutation diagnosis is not a real gene mutation — it's a basic inflammatory marker test triggered by a sluggish, toxic liver producing dirty blood. The real issue is viral activity in the liver causing methylation problems. He details how to reverse the diagnosis by going antiviral, lowering fats, and cleaning the liver.


Core Tools to Use

  • B12 with Adenosylcobalamin + Methylcobalamin

    • Why: The most critical supplement for methylation. Methylfolate (commonly prescribed for gene mutations) won't work unless your B12 has adenosylcobalamin in it. This combination is what actually restores methylation.
    • How: Take daily. Must contain adenosylcobalamin — most B12 supplements don't have it, which is why methylation doesn't improve for many people.
  • Methylfolate

    • Why: Supports folate conversion, which is impaired when the liver is sluggish. But it only works when combined with the right B12 (adenosylcobalamin).
    • How: Take alongside B12 with adenosylcobalamin.
  • Liquid Zinc Sulfate

    • Why: First line of defense — antiviral. The viral load in the liver is what's creating the methylation problem and triggering the MTHFR test.
    • How: Take daily. Get one without citric acid (which burns the stomach).
  • L-Lysine

    • Why: Lowers viral loads. Viral loads are directly responsible for methylation issues, dirty blood, and liver dysfunction.
    • How: Take daily as supplement.
  • Vitamin C

    • Why: Helps detox by getting poisons out of the blood so they're removed and pushed out. Critical for people told they "can't detox."
    • How: Take enough vitamin C daily.
  • Cat's Claw

    • Why: Kills off viruses in the liver. Works exceptionally well for people with Lyme and MTHFR diagnoses because it addresses the viral root cause.
    • How: Take daily as supplement.
  • Lemon Balm

    • Why: Antiviral — helps knock down the viral load in the liver that creates dirty blood and triggers the gene mutation test.
    • How: Take as tea or supplement daily.
  • Olive Leaf

    • Why: Antiviral support for reducing liver viral load.
    • How: Take as supplement daily.
  • Oregano Oil Capsules

    • Why: Antiviral — helps clear pathogens from the liver.
    • How: Take capsules daily.
  • Thyme Tea

    • Why: Antiviral — supports killing off viral issues in the liver.
    • How: Drink a little thyme tea daily.
  • Red Clover Tea

    • Why: Cleans out dirty blood. Can directly reverse the inflammation that triggers the gene mutation test.
    • How: Drink daily.
  • Eyebright

    • Why: Antiviral, antibacterial, blood cleanser. Supports viral load reduction.
    • How: Take as supplement.
  • Celery Juice

    • Why: Cleanses the liver directly. Critical for reversing the methylation problem since the liver is the root cause.
    • How: Drink 16 ounces daily.
  • Lemon Water

    • Why: Helps the liver and can reverse methylation problems on its own.
    • How: 16 ounces twice a day, every day.
  • Wild Blueberries

    • Why: Heal and cleanse the liver.
    • How: Eat daily — in smoothies or on their own.
  • Sweet Potatoes

    • Why: Help cleanse the liver because they contain virtually no fat, giving the liver a break from bile production so it can rejuvenate.
    • How: Eat regularly, especially for lunch to replace higher-fat meals.
  • Winter Squash

    • Why: Helps heal the liver.
    • How: Incorporate regularly.

Things to Avoid (and Why)

  • High Fat Intake

    • Why: The liver creates the methylation problem. The more fat your liver has to break down, the more bile it produces, and the less ability it has to rejuvenate and remove the poisons causing conversion problems. Fat directly prevents the liver from healing.
    • How: Lower fats significantly. If eating animal protein, reduce to once a day (dinner only). If plant-based, don't overdo nuts and avocado. Have at least some days with very low fat (salads with fruit, smoothies, sweet potatoes).
  • Eggs

    • Why: Feed viruses in the liver that are creating the dirty blood and triggering the MTHFR test.
    • How: Remove from diet.
  • Dairy Products

    • Why: Feed pathogens, clog the liver, prevent methylation from recovering.
    • How: Remove from diet.
  • Wheat/Gluten

    • Why: Feeds inflammation and creates more problems for the liver.
    • How: Remove from diet.
  • Supplements with Citric Acid or Corn Grain Alcohol

    • Why: Citric acid burns the stomach and creates ulcers. Corn grain alcohol in tinctures feeds bacteria and SIBO.
    • How: Choose clean supplements without these additives.

Key Health Information

  • The MTHFR gene mutation test is an inflammatory marker test, not a true gene test. It's in the same category as ANA (lupus) and C-reactive protein tests — basic inflammation tests with fancy names that blame your genes.
  • Your gene is not mutated. The test triggers positive because of dirty blood from a sluggish, toxic liver — not because of faulty genes.
  • When you fix the liver and clean the blood, the test goes negative. Practitioners are baffled when patients reverse their "gene mutation" because they don't understand it was never a gene problem.
  • The liver is responsible for thousands of chemical activities — not the 400-500 that science currently recognizes. These thousands of responsibilities are all involved in methylation.
  • What triggers the positive test: Viral byproduct from the liver (from EBV, shingles, HHV-6, etc.) floods the bloodstream, along with heavy metals, neurotoxins, dermatoxins, viral casings. This dirty blood prevents folate/folic acid from converting properly.
  • Everyone with Lyme, MS, lupus, or chronic fatigue who gets tested will eventually show MTHFR positive — because these are all viral conditions affecting the liver.
  • Methylation is real, gene mutation is not. The methylation problem is legitimate — your body isn't converting chemicals properly. But it's caused by a toxic liver, not broken genes.
  • The ileum (spot between small intestine and colon) contains elevated biotics — microorganisms from fresh-picked produce that produce B12 and help methylation. Eating produce straight from the garden supports this.
  • Believing you have a gene mutation weakens the immune system — the subconscious belief that your genes are faulty eats away at immune function.

Situations to Use These Tools

  • Diagnosed with MTHFR Gene Mutation: Go antiviral (zinc, cat's claw, lemon balm, olive leaf, oregano oil, L-lysine) + clean the liver (celery juice, lemon water, wild blueberries, sweet potatoes) + lower fats + B12 with adenosylcobalamin + methylfolate
  • "Can't Detox" Diagnosis: Your liver is too toxic to perform conversions. Clean it with celery juice, lemon water, lower fats, and antivirals. Vitamin C helps push poisons out of the blood.
  • High Homocysteine: Liver dysfunction from viral load. Same protocol — antivirals + liver cleansing + lower fats
  • Lyme + MTHFR: Both are viral. Cat's claw + zinc + L-lysine + all antivirals + liver cleansing foods
  • Hashimoto's + MTHFR: EBV in the liver causing both. Same antiviral + liver protocol
  • Chronic Fatigue + MTHFR: EBV in the liver. Antivirals + B12 with adenosylcobalamin + liver cleansing + lower fats

Find out what's making you sick and how to heal. Anthony William is the Medical Medium. Hello, I'm Anthony William, and 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.
As I've always said, who has 10 or 20 years to wait for answers to their illnesses? Life is precious and there's no time to spare. Let's get started.
Now today's show is about gene mutation, the MTHFR gene mutation. This is an important show. It's gonna be an historic show in many ways because what you're gonna hear is mind blowing if you're a connoisseur of genes or gene mutations, MTHFR gene mutations.
And I'm not saying that it's gonna be a show with information about genes and how they work and how they're connected to us. It's not gonna be there. Instead, it's gonna be protecting you against gene fraud, okay?
And that's something really, it's critical to understand gene fraud. And what that means is things that are created, so you think your body is destroying itself, that your body is attacking itself, that your genes are faulty, that your genes are useless, that your genes are attacking you or melting down on you so that you don't have a chance to heal. And that's the weakness that's thrown on us.
So if you're a gene expert, hang on to your seat, you're either gonna hate me after the show or you're gonna keep one eye open and one ear open and you're gonna be like, hey, you know what, that makes sense. Because this is that important, this show, totally. So that's what we're talking about today.
Remember to go to my website, medicalmedium.com. If you guys haven't been there, go. And there's all kinds of stuff going on.
One of the, you know, Facebook, I put out information every single day. Instagram, the Instagram is really going great. I mean, all kinds of people and their healing experiences.
And what you'll find on the social media that's involved with the medical medium is you're not going to see pictures of me 24 seven. You're not going to see, oh, here's Anthony doing this, or here's Anthony William doing that. And that's all great.
And I love when people do that. What you're going to see instead is people and their stories, people healing, people getting better, people's lives changing, people making recipes, people taking care of themselves, people getting the best out of their life, people's lives that are changing. You're going to see all that because here's the deal.
This is about you, it's not about me. I've been saying that for years. This is about you, it's not about me.
And so just know that. This is about you healing, and I've been the voice for people who have a chronic illness, who can't get out of bed, who can't function, who can't do whatever they need to do, and can't get answers, and I've been the voice for you, for the people that need that voice and need the answers, and that's what it's about. So, when you go to my Instagram, you'll see that.
And when you go to the Facebook, you'll see that, and you go to the website and everything else. So, check it all out. Look into My Healing Path, too.
My Healing Path is, it has amazing audios in there, and recipes, and everything else, to help you change your life. The audios are from me, me speaking and talking, but in the way that you need, the information you need, so you can heal and then tell others and how to heal and everything else. So, it's about you guys and that's the key.
So anyway, and hey, look, you know, if this is the first time on the show, it all started for me at age four, when I heard a voice perfectly clear, it led me to the diagnosis of my grandmother. I've dedicated my entire life to helping people, tens of thousands of people, get the answers they need, so that's more about me. I hear a voice that tells me what's going on, and we're gonna go into the whole gene thing right now.
So let's start, so fasten your seatbelt. Get ready, fasten that seatbelt, hold on, hold on to your seat, because this is a big deal today. And maybe some of you don't even know about the gene mutation thing.
Maybe you haven't heard it, or you're not aware of it or anything like that. But the MTHFR gene mutation is taking the world by storm in holistic medicine at this point. And if I go with the ride, and just hop on that ride, hop on that trend, it's gonna do you an injustice.
It really is. You need to know this. So I'm gonna explain where I sit with this, where it has its good place or its good points, and where it's completely backwards in a way that's not good at all for you, your well-being, for your children and for your family.
So this is really important to understand. So, you know, I'm not against every trend in fad. That's, you know, that's not it.
I mean, look, the celery juice trend that started from me and everybody's doing now, and it's going everywhere. It's just, it's crossing the earth right now. That's a trend that came from me, okay?
So yeah, I'm not gonna be against the celery juice trend because, A, you know, spirit created it. But there, and I'm not against other trends that are out there too, that someone else came up with somehow or figured it out through maybe a scientific thing that then became trendy. I support a lot of different trends too, but there's some, there's no way it deserves the support, the support from me.
It doesn't. One of the things that we got here is this gene mutation.
So what is an MTHFR gene mutation? It's the inability to convert folate. So that's the thing.
It's the inability to convert folate. That's what you're gonna hear out there. So when you look into it or you dial it up on your computer or you talk to a doctor or a practitioner, it's gonna be this inability to convert folate or folic acid into usable forms, into a form where the body can accept it.
And that part alone has some merit to it, but I'm just gonna give you what's out there now a little bit, and hey, you could be an expert on this and have all these details that go along with all this. So basically, the MTHFR gene produces an enzyme. So methylene tetrahydrofolate, that's the enzyme it produces.
So scientifically, that's what's been discovered out there. But I'm gonna tell you right now about something about science, okay? Science is incredible when it comes down to, hey, you break your leg.
I talked about that a zillion times. You're probably like, okay, I've heard that before. Or you need a heart transplant, okay?
Or you need something else, or your gallbladder explodes because it got highly infected, or a stone got caught in there because you're doing a gallbladder flush and you flush the stone into the duct and now you need your gallbladder removed. Hence is why I don't like the gallbladder flushes, by the way, you guys. And so whatever it is, that, you know, science is, we have great surgeons, got neurosurgeons, you name it, that can remove aneurysms out of people's brains with robots.
And that's incredible. That's the part of science that I love and there's plenty of it. There's a decent amount of it.
But then there's chronic illness. Chronic illness, massive amount of space out there. Complete mystery to science, complete mystery.
And for real, mystery, illness. And anything you can tag a name on to it, I don't care what it is, tag a name on to it. Celiac, just so you know, that's still a medical mystery.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, still a medical mystery until I brought the, because I've been the first one to bring out the truth that the Epstein-Barr causes Hashimoto's. And now people are picking that up now, and they don't say it came from me and whatever. I'm seeing that out there, out there, and fine.
As long as the information gets out there, it's incredible. But the point is, is that there are, all these different chronic mystery illnesses with no real truth to what's going on behind any of them. And I mean, the list goes on colitis, mystery illness, that alone.
I mean, depression, depression. Depression's a mystery illness. Anxiety, mystery illness.
I mean, especially when it comes down to stuff like that. And then RA, lupus, multiple sclerosis, still a mystery. Go on down the line, ALS, still a mystery.
And you can keep on going and keep on going. So the point is, is that since chronic illness is mystery illness, and I dedicated the Medical Medium Book, the first Medical Medium Book to that, check that out if you haven't seen it. Go check a book out, or pick one up, or wherever you can get one.
And you'll see about how mystery and chronic illness and how it's designed, how there's labels on things, but technically the label really isn't the answer. How we need to deem these things mystery in order to get real help. And they won't, nobody won't, the medical world won't, medical communities won't deem any of these mystery illnesses because if they do that, then they'll just be showcasing how they've been wrong the whole time with just putting labels on things and that's it.
So, and so where it falls in, here's what I'm talking about now. Got all this chronic illness out there. It's all mysterious.
It's not mysterious here. It's not mysterious here. And if you're someone who just logged onto the show and you don't know, you don't know me or anything like that, what's going on, you're gonna think, oh, so this guy has all the answers.
Big Mr. Medical Medium has all the answers here in this show, but all the science and all the world doesn't have it. It's not me that knows it. It's a source that I've been given as a gift to receive.
Whether you like it or not, I've helped tens of thousands of people get to where they need to be regardless. So, putting this aside though, putting this aside, okay? Science doesn't have the answers to why mommies can't get out of bed and take care of their children, to why people can't walk down the street because they got aches and pains, but all these different things, science does not cover any of that.
I don't care what anybody says. I've seen the suffering. I've seen what people have gone through.
I see it every day and things have to be done and we need real information from real sources. So, the whole point about the chronic and mystery illnesses, because there's no answers, we get blamed. The blame game, okay?
The blame game, yes, talking about it again. I might have talked about it in the last show, might have talked about it a little bit in the last show before that, but here's where it really kicks in, really kicks in. So, when you get told you have an autoimmune disease, you're told that your body's attacking itself.
You've heard this from me. Here's how it works. We walk into the doctor's office.
They don't know, no one knows what's really wrong with anybody. They don't know what's causing Hashimoto's. That's just a quick example because you know what?
So many people have thyroid problems. And so it's easy to understand. And we get told our body's attacking itself.
The blame game's going on. Okay, this is one of the great mistakes I talk about. But there's another blame, another blame game.
And it's a bad one. It's really bad. It's the gene blame game.
It's a loser's game. Everybody walks away a loser on this one. It's no fun.
It's insulting, insulting, terribly insulting. It's demeaning. It's the geneing because of genes.
You name it, it is what it is. And what I'm trying to say is, you got something wrong with you and you got some bad genes. You got some rotten genes.
You got some faulty genes. Your genes don't work. That's your problem.
You're sick because you got bad genes over there. That person over there is healthy because they got good genes. You got bad genes because you feel like crap.
That person's overweight. Oh, they got bad genes. That person has all kinds of problems.
They got bad genes. That's where it's going because it has to go there because medical research and medical science, whether anybody likes it or not, I'm just going to tell you right now, doesn't have the answers. It doesn't have the answers.
It doesn't have the answers. 90% of health and wellness is mysterious. It's a mystery.
That's the bottom line. And where the gene mutation comes in, this is where you got to be careful. You get sucked into the gene mutation, you're going to get in trouble.
Big trouble because you're going to lose. You got to be careful. And I'm saying that now.
Now it's pretty bold to go against a trend that's catching on like lightning out there. Lightning. So yeah, so I'm being pretty bold about this.
But I'm going to put my butt on the firing line to do everything I can to protect you, your children and your well-being. That's the bottom line. And what you're going to hear is going to make sense.
It's going to make a lot of sense is what you're going to hear as we go through this show. This is a very important show, just as important as the Lyme Disease show, just as important as other shows that have done, and maybe even more important. Okay?
So let's run into it a little bit. So science is telling us, is dictating to us right now, that our genes become mutated, and they can't produce enzymes that are needed. And these enzymes help with glutathione production, they help with folate and folic acid involvement, as far as easily assimilating into the body.
And it involves chemical compounds as well. So we're told that if you have the gene mutation, whatever variety of gene mutation you might have, there's different MTHFR gene mutations now. There used to be just one, now there's two, now there's three, and I'm sure there'll be ten more.
Because you know why? Science doesn't know what it's doing in this. It's just moving in a path that's not a good place.
Now good meaning practitioners and doctors, they're for you, they're for you, they're looking out for you, they're looking out for you, they care about you just like I care about you. I'm sure they do. You know, that's the whole point.
We go into this because we care. And that's what it's about. But it's easy for a practitioner to get led down this path of genes because it makes so much sense that that must be what's behind you being sick and whoever's sick.
It's behind it. So it's easy to go right down that path and head there and be like, okay, yeah, genes, heck yeah, why not? We're made up of genes.
Look at all the hereditary traits we have. But the gene blame game is a tricky one. It's the trickiest of all because when you have a child and your child takes on hereditary traits, you can't ignore the fact that genes are not playing a role.
When you have some similarities to your forefather, to your mother, your father, to your grandfather, it wins the case immediately that genes have to be why you're sick. It wins the case. Case closed, bam!
Because it's inescapable. You can't get away from the fact that your mother or your father or your grandfather looks the same, or maybe even feels the same, or maybe even has a symptom that's the same. Regardless, it's impossible to ignore.
So this is by far one of the most evil misconceptions there has to be. Because no matter what, and no matter probably what I say here, it's just easy to fall into this pit. What this means is generations to come are going to all think no matter what, their chronic illnesses or gene-related and that medical research and medical science better be up on the genes, and better be working to help our genes, and money and billions of dollars has to go into gene, gene, gene, gene, genes.
Yep, that's right. And guess what? People are not only going to be sick, they're going to be sicker in the future.
And that's why this is by far one of the worst. So the point is, how do we escape this and what do we do? Okay, we're filled with genes.
They have their purposes, absolutely. They have their purpose. They do, genes are involved in our body in so many different ways.
But your gene can't become mutated. It can't become mutated. It's not truly a real mutation.
If you've been diagnosed with an MTHFR gene mutation, it's technically not a real gene mutation. Even if the gene is under problems of some kind, meaning under some kind of contaminant, some kind of chemical, some kind of pollutants, creating a gene to not function is good. It's not technically mutated.
So you need to understand this. So when you get diagnosed with MTHFR gene mutation, you don't have a gene that's mutated. You don't have a gene that's not working.
In fact, when it comes down to MTHFR gene mutation, the gene isn't even problematic. There's something else triggering off the faulty MTHFR gene mutation tests. The faulty tests, that's what's going on there.
The MTHFR gene mutation tests are not accurate. They're inaccurate to begin with. That's what's going on there.
It doesn't mean you don't have to, it doesn't mean you don't stop and get one. You can still get your gene mutation tests, the whole bit, but I'm trying to let you know they're not ironclad, not ironclad at all. And if you do ring up a gene mutation test, gets rung up positive, I'm going to tell you what's going on so we can really cut into it.
So we have methylation problems. That's the real part. We have inability to methylate.
Methylate is conversion. It's all about conversion inside the body. That's what methylation is.
It's all about conversion. Breaking down chemicals into smaller chemicals. Breaking down smaller chemicals into smaller chemicals.
Breaking down those smaller chemicals into smaller chemicals. It goes on and on and on. If you look into methylation or you look into the gene mutation out there on the trendy stuff that's trending, they'll just kind of cut it clear.
They'll say, well, it's an enzyme. And then they'll say, this enzyme is involved with methylene, another enzyme, and that they bind on together. They break down folate.
They break down folic acid. And it's pretty much where it stops. But what's really happening is we have chemical breakdowns in the body that science is so far away that it would take a thousand years.
We're talking about it doesn't stop at chemicals breaking down and converting into smaller chemicals or more easily viable chemicals. It keeps on going. The mystery of what our body does, how many chemicals we have is unbelievable.
And I'm going to talk about something here, something very important. Medical science and research only believes the liver is responsible for anywhere from 400 to 500 chemical uses or chemical responsibilities. Chemical responsibilities in your body to do things, to do things to keep you alive and well.
The liver has thousands of chemical responsibilities, thousands that haven't even been discovered yet. And these thousands of responsibilities play into methylation, which is still in its baby stage of understanding. But the problem is it sends you down the direction that your gene is mutated.
And that's the problem. The problem with that is the real issue in your health is not being seen whatsoever. Not being seen, not being understood, but then you might get to diagnose, well, you got this methylation issue, this MTHFR gene mutation issue.
You got that. You're not methylated, fine. And you've got some candida.
You may have this, oh, you've been diagnosed with Lyme. You got a little bit borderline Lyme. It's a mess.
It's a hot mess out there. So let's talk about how it works. What triggers off the test to begin with?
What triggers it off is inflammation. The MTHFR gene mutation test is just as good as an ANA, anti-nuclear antibody test, just as good as that test. It's just as good as a C-reactive protein test.
They're just basic inflammatory marker tests. But the MTHFR gene mutation test is under the guise of a gene test. It's just another basic, you got some inflammation throughout your entire body test.
That's what it is, just so you know. So where does this lead? This leads to misdiagnoses.
This leads to misinformation, less information for our health and well-being. Kind of like the anti-nuclear antigen test, the antibody test, the A&A test. That test for lupus tells you if you have lupus.
First of all, it doesn't tell you if you have lupus. It's just another inflammation test for mystery illness or mystery issues. The MTHFRG mutation test should just be a tool to show that yes, there's something else wrong with you or going on with you, but it should not be deciphering or defining you and saying that you have a gene mutation or that your child has a gene mutation.
It's so detrimental to your health and well-being. You have to back out of that and say, okay, you know what? I don't have a gene mutation.
It's not possible. What I have, though, is a marker that's telling me something else is going on, and that's the part where I'm okay about the test itself because the test is a basic inflammatory test, just like many of the other ones that get a tag and get a label. So if you do or you have been diagnosed with MTHFR gene mutation, one of the gene mutations, and you have been diagnosed and you have that test has been done and you've been told this is what's going on, what you have to do is it's okay.
It's okay. You just have to know your gene's not mutated. You have to know that immediately.
You don't have a gene dysfunction. But you have to realize the test is not really accurate. It's in its baby stages.
I mean that you give it 20 years and you watch where that test is. And you have to realize it's just a marker that's showing that you have something else going on. So that's how you have to see it.
And this is where I'm supportive of the gene mutation test. It's really, they should just change the name of it. They should change the name of it and get out of the whole gene blame game.
It's a dangerous game. So here's the deal. You go to the doctor, you're not feeling good.
Whether you're not feeling good or not, people get the test and it rings off and they're feeling fine. But you go to the doctor, you get the test or your practitioner. Test comes up positive that you got the MTHFR gene mutation.
What you have to realize right away, something else is going on. There's something happening inside the body. And let me tell you what's happening and where it is.
All gene mutations, meaning the test itself, providing somebody with the misinformation of having a gene mutation, all these lead to a dysfunctional problem in the liver. That's where it's all going on. It's the liver.
Second part is the intestinal tract. But the liver is where the trouble lies. See, what triggers off the inflammation that then determines if you have an MTHFR gene mutation, what triggers all of this off is byproduct, byproduct coming out of the liver, floating in the bloodstream, wreaking havoc, causing homocysteine levels to rise or to fall or become useless.
It's these other chemicals, these toxins, they're floating around the bloodstream from the liver, from sources and combinations of pathogens, viruses inside the liver, viruses or heavy metals or both. Technically, it really is both most cases of having heavy metals inside the liver, having a lot of byproduct, a lot of sludge, a lot of gunk, a lot of junk inside that liver from pathogens that are producing that, also things that the liver have collected over the years, like the toxic heavy metals. And that junk and garbage starts making the liver less efficient, stops letting it function as good, stops it from cleaning your blood.
When you get your MTHFR gene mutation test and it comes up positive, you got dirty blood. That's what it means. It doesn't mean you have a faulty gene.
It means you have dirty blood. It means your dirty blood is preventing folate or folic acid from converting, methylated, being usable by the body. So here's where the part's more than true.
There's a methylation issue. Correct. I'm not against the methylation issue.
I've been talking about methylation for 30 years. So that's how long it's been. And so I'm totally for it because that's where it lies.
That's where the truth holds. It holds in there. It's not that you have a gene mutation, but you do have a methylation problem.
So what the practitioner and the doctor is discovering is you do have a methylation problem, but it's under the geist. It's under the hidden roof, you know, that dark pit of it's your gene causing all this trouble. And guess what?
If your gene's causing all the trouble, you can't fix that. You can't just fix that gene if your gene's causing all the trouble. But here's the irony.
You fix somebody's methylation problem and the test doesn't ring off anymore. So when you fix somebody's methylation issue where they're methylating, their liver's getting better, their blood isn't dirty, they don't trigger off the gene mutation test anymore. Isn't that interesting?
One week that test rings off that you got two versions of gene mutations. One week that test rings off that it shows you got this MTHFR gene mutation, and it's really bad. And then you start methylating again, and you start fixing the problem that's creating the dirty blood, and that's inside the liver.
And guess what? That test goes away. The test goes away.
I know practitioners are baffled because the person did the right thing, not offered by the practitioner, but did the right thing by finding and sourcing the right information to heal a methylation problem. Like the adenosylcobalamin we talk about, like the B12 we talk about, you guys, and really creating methylation in the body, cleaning up the liver, getting the viral load down, and then the test goes away. And then literally the practitioner scratching the head like this is impossible.
This, you know, maybe the blood was switched at the lab, maybe the blood was switched here, maybe, you know, they can't understand how it's possible. You lose the tag, the label. It's possible because once you fix the real issue, you lose that inflammation.
The inflammation disappears, and it won't trigger off the gene mutation test. So, just recap a little bit. Gene mutation test, number one, is really just an inflammatory test with a fancy name blaming your genes.
I'm just being straightforward. Now, if you're a practitioner, you're like, that's not true, I know how the test works, it's a real gene we're looking at. Yeah, that part, yeah, you're looking at that.
You're looking at a real gene. But the test still comes up wrong. It's how, look, you can name, you can take any test, and name it anything you want, in any way, capacity possible.
But it's going to end up being, in many cases, an inflammatory test. And this is a new version of showcasing inflammation in the body. Yeah, rocking the boat when it comes down to homocysteine, and rocking the boat in methylation.
But nevertheless, it's an inflammatory marker. That's what it is. Just like I've talked about all the Lyme disease tests all these years.
Why do you think Lyme disease testing is, oh, you're borderline? It's either you have the pathogen or you don't. But for some reason, we're told, oh, but it's borderline.
So yeah, we would say you do because it's borderline. What's borderline? You either have it or you don't.
The reason why it's borderline, because it's an inflammation test. Another version of an inflammation test. You listen to The Lime Show.
I think I talk about it there. And I'll do another Lime Show in the future. What you're going to find, anybody who's viral, and I talked about this, Lyme disease is viral.
The reason why I'm mentioning this, it's important to know. Lyme disease is viral, not bacterial. If this is the first time hopping on the show, hopping into the show, read the book Medical Medium, read The Lime Chapter.
But same thing with RA, it's viral. Same thing with multiple sclerosis, that's viral. You can go on and on and on.
In all these different illnesses that we have, there's probably 100 I can name, maybe even 200, but it would just drive you nuts if I sat here naming a list of 200 illnesses. In these 200 illnesses, understand that viruses play a role. And those viruses sit inside the liver, muck it up, whether you feel good or you don't feel good, releasing poison and toxin or filling up toxins in the liver.
So when you're diagnosed with Lyme disease, you're going to have an MTHFRG mutation. Everybody with Lyme now is getting the MTHFRG mutation test now, and they're all coming up positive, because it's viral issues in the liver causing dirty blood and triggering off the MTHFRG mutation test, so that you get diagnosed with a gene issue. Anybody with multiple sclerosis now, they're saying they got the MTHFRG mutation.
Everybody with lupus, MTHFRG mutation. See, what's happening here is when you have a viral condition that's causing lupus like the Epstein-Barr virus that causes lupus, I talk about it in the book, or you got the multiple sclerosis or a different variety of Epstein-Barr causing MS, whatever it is, or Lyme disease where it's HHV6, HHV7, or shingles, or the Epstein-Barr varieties, or multiple varieties of all these creating Lyme disease, whatever it is, you're going to see MTHFRG mutation eventually come up and you're going to see methylation issues. The methylation issues, homocysteine issues, are because the liver gets clogged up, clouded up, filled the toxins from having to deal with viral issues.
And this flood of toxins, viral bodies, viral casings, spirochetes that actually are viral because casings of viruses look like spirochetes, you name it, all of this stuff dumps into the bloodstream along with neurotoxins, dermatoxins, that go to the skin and create eczema psoriasis. All of this dumps into the bloodstream, floats around, and triggers off the MTHFRG mutation test, and then you're told you have a mutated gene, which doesn't help you heal from Lyme disease, it doesn't help you heal from MS, it doesn't help you heal from eczema psoriasis, it doesn't help you heal from sarcoidosis, it doesn't help you heal from, you know, colitis or whatever it is, it doesn't help you heal to think that you have a gene mutation. And if you think that that's not true, you're wrong.
It sits in the back of the mind, in a subconscious place, that your genes suck, and it eats away at the immune system. So you gotta flip the switch now. You gotta know that you have no gene mutation.
You gotta flip it and know you don't have a gene mutation, but what you have is a methylation problem, and that's where the gene mutation test, or the philosophy, or the theory, because it's all theoretical, just so you know. Just know that there is, though, a methylation issue, because when that liver gets clogged up, and it gets dirty, and the blood gets dirty, and all that's going on, and stuff's flooding into the bloodstream, and into the intestinal tract, and clouding it up, and you're not eating the right foods, and that's elevating more inflammation, and feeding more pathogens, and whatever's going on, just know, methylation is not going to go good. You're going to get minimum methylation, minimum conversions, minimum conversions of important chemicals, and chemical compounds, and phytochemicals that come from food, and come from all the things that we eat, come from the sun.
They come from food, sun, clean water, and we're not going to get the methylation needed. And there's this little spot I talk about a lot, it's in the colon, it's the ileocecal, the ileum. It's right there in the ileum.
It's a little spot right after your small intestinal tract and right before your colon. That spot has probiotics called elevated biotics from when you eat an apple you picked off a tree. Not an apple you just get in the supermarket that's been sitting there waxed.
I'm talking about when you, that one time in your life you went to an apple orchard because you went to go pick some apples and drink a little fresh apple cider. That has these elevated biotics in it. It's a microorganism that helps you methylate, that produces B12.
When you pick a little piece of kale out of the garden, that produces B12 because it has microorganisms that get to the helium, this little section after you're in small intestinal tract. So methylation is a big deal. We got to clean up the liver.
But to get the diet right, we have to lower any kind of viral issues. If you have a gene mutation test that comes back positive and your doctor says you're not methylated, then you better go anti-viral and talk to your doctor. Tell your practitioner, say, look, that means, you know, I heard from Anthony, that means that I got low levels of viral issue maybe in the liver.
That's what's causing some of my symptoms, my fatigue, my aches and pains, my Hashimoto's. And I got this low level of viral, you know, viral activity going on, making my blood toxic. And maybe that's why I don't detox good.
Because what the gene mutation test leads to as a practitioner then teaching people, you know, hey, it means you can't detox, you have no ability to detox, your homocysteine is all messed up, you're, you know, all this stuff is going on, and you can't detox. You're not detoxing because you're toxic, because you have a viral issue creating toxins, weakening the liver so that conversions don't happen. Back to the liver.
The liver is responsible for thousands, thousands of chemical activities, chemical procedures, okay, chemical responsibilities. The liver is responsible. And in this responsibility factor, all this going on is the breaking down of chemicals to chemicals to chemicals to chemicals, meaning being used so that amino and the production of amino acids and the breakdown and the combining of aminos and the combining of aminos with other chemicals.
All this is done in the liver. It's one of the most important places there is, and it's responsible for methylation. So if you got a viral thing in the liver, if you've had chronic fatigue, you got the Epstein Bar in the liver.
If you got Hashimoto's, you got the Epstein Bar in the liver, you're eventually going to end up with a gene mutation diagnosis, which will be inaccurate. The only accurate part is that, yes, your methylation has dropped. Your ability to methylate and to combine the folate and the folic acid mean with other chemicals and break them down so they're usable is diminishing.
That part is correct. That's why a big part of the whole methylation thing and the gene mutations I like, but it's still got holes in it that we're covering all in here today. So, you know, the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, okay, that conversion is something that gets interfered with when you can't methylate.
So your homocysteine levels can rise. The conversion is not there. Once again, from the liver being clogged up, whether you're overweight, whether you're underweight, whether you feel good, whether you don't, whether your child's diagnosed with the gene mutation and feels fine in the moment, and then you think your child has a gene mutation, it means the liver is showcasing signs of some wear and tear, whether it's really early on, which happens all the time, or later on.
And that will give you the MTHFRG mutation. But like I said before, if you've been diagnosed with any chronic illness, that's still a mystery. And a mystery to alternative doctors too, and alternative medicine is still a mystery.
And you're diagnosed with all these different labels, many of them which we talked about already, then chances are you'll eventually get that MTHFRG mutation test and be told you have that. But really what's happening is yes, you have things going on with your health. And that your health is having, you're struggling with the methylation process because of the dirty blood, the detoxification issue from having dirty blood, and the liver not being able to perform what it needs to perform so the blood gets toxic and dirty, and you end up with the gene mutation test.
So what do we do being a positive? So what do we do? We can turn this around.
You can change this. You can get yourself better and clean this up so that when you go and get your MTHFR gene mutation test, you can get rid of the positive on that test and blow the doctor or practitioner's mind. You can.
Because what it's going to mean is you're going to lower your inflammation so it doesn't trigger off the faulty test that was created. Another test that's really not accurate. I mean, it showcases something.
It showcases a little bit of elevation of inflammation. So it's accurate on that level. It showcases that leads to a methylation problem on that level.
So what can we do? Well, first of all, go antiviral. That's the first thing.
Get your zinc up to par. That's the first thing you want to do. Get your zinc up to par.
Start drinking some thyme tea, a little bit of thyme tea. Get some oregano capsules. Okay?
So you could find, you know, you could find any of this stuff also on, you know, I have a little directory of all these things you can find. So people know the best brands. Just go to medicalmedium.com and look for this stuff.
We don't sell it, okay? So we don't have a store where we're selling anything, but it's there. So you don't buy the zinc that has citric acid, so you burn your stomach and create an ulcer.
So that doesn't happen, all right? So you don't buy the tincture that has corn grain alcohol in it, so you feed another bacteria or feed some kind of SIBO problem or whatever it is. So you want the right supplements.
So you do the oregano oil capsules. That's important. Olive leaf.
You want to bring a little olive leaf in. Cat's claw. That's another great one.
You want to have the right zinc. Bring in the zinc. The supplement methafolate.
This is the most critical part of methylation right here. But yeah, you might know about it. Your practitioner offers it with a methylation problem or a gene mutation issue.
They offer the methafolate, but it won't work unless your B12 supplement has adenosylcobalamin in it. You won't find that information anywhere else but here. That's how you methylate, regardless of your liver condition or anything else or the dirty blood fixed up and all that better.
You still can methylate when you combine these two. So that's the important part. All the other B12s never have adenosylcobalamin in it, so methylation still doesn't occur when someone has a problem.
And you want vitamin C, because vitamin C helps you detox, like it gets the poisons out of the blood, so they get removed and pushed on down the line. So you want vitamin C and enough vitamin C. So that's important.
So keep that in your regime. L-icine, that's a big deal. L-icine lowers viral loads.
Viral loads are responsible for methylation issues. Viral loads are responsible for problems. Dirty blood, the liver not working good, so get the lysine.
So that's a great one to bring in. Foods, get out the eggs, get out the dairy, get out the wheat, okay? And you'll know.
You go to your alternate practitioner, you go to your holistic practitioner, and you're going to be told to get off the wheat gluten. Of course, you're going to be told to get off maybe some dairy products. So you want to get off of those.
That's really important. So when it comes down to the foods, you want less fat in the foods. This is really important.
So you don't want the dairy, okay? You don't want the eggs in there. You don't want foods that have real high fat.
If you're a meat eater, lower the fats by lowering the amount of meat you're eating. Because we're talking about it's your liver. And your liver is creating the methylation problem.
It's creating the MTHFRG mutation problem. That means the more fat in your liver, the more fat that your liver has to break down, the more bile it has to produce and break down. More fat in your diet, the less it's going to have the ability to rejuvenate, the less it's going to have the ability to get rid of the poison that's actually causing the conversion problems.
It's actually causing the folate and the folic acid conversion problems and the amino acid conversion problems with MTHFR gene mutation issues. So the whole point here is if you're doing foods, say you're on a plant-based diet, don't overdo the nuts, don't overdo the avocado. So if you're on a plant-based diet, more fresh fruits and vegetables, more obviously, and more sweet potatoes.
But if you're on, say, a paleo diet or a meat-eating diet, you know, whatever that might be, like you do chicken twice a day or something, or you do turkey for lunch, chicken for dinner, you've got to break it down to once a day. Because if you don't, you're going to have a little too much fat going on. So that means, you know, for lunch, maybe do avocado, which is less fat than chicken for lunch.
So that you just knock down the level of fat intake greatly. And then at dinner, do something that you like that's in the animal protein realm, if you're big in animal protein. The point is, is lowering the fat in the diet in any way helps stop the liver from declining.
So it can pick speed up again. So it can start to heal, clean up. And so you can start using the different things to knock out the viral load that could be in the liver that's producing the gene mutation test, triggering it off by producing all of that byproduct floating around in the bloodstream.
So, for instance, let's go over foods. The wild blueberries really heal and cleanse the liver. Celery juice cleanses the liver.
So you can do the 16 ounces. Look, go to my blog. Go to my blog and check out different things.
You check out the celery juice. And it's for you. And I want you to go into my blog because you're going to see a big snappy picture of me holding up celery juice.
That's not it. I want you doing the celery juice. You to do it.
Okay? I'm doing it at home. That's already happening.
So you don't need to see that on the blog. Get there and know what the recipe is. Understand.
Do the celery juice. And then, you know, bring in the sweet potatoes. They help cleanse the liver because there's no fat in the sweet potato.
Virtually, virtually none in there. And so that helps with the liver. Winter squash helps with the healing of the liver.
So these are some of the foods you can do. And you know, hey, look, if it's winter, it's cold, you do more sweet potato, do sweet potatoes for lunch. If you love animal products, you know, skip the, you know, whatever it is for lunch, the turkey or the chicken or the meat for lunch, and do the sweet potatoes for lunch.
You're going to be getting your gene mutation, you know, reversed. You're going to be getting things reversed. And then for dinner time, you can then do whatever it is that you do.
And once again, if you're a vegetarian or you're, you know, vegan or plant-based or whatever you want to be, that you feel is good, you know, it's incredible for liver problems that create the gene mutation. Okay? Or create the false gene mutation test that we talked about all through here.
And so, but the best thing to do ever, is to at least take a moment in your life and have it really low-fat. That means you're doing lots of salads with fruit in them, or you're doing smoothies, green smoothies. And we talk about that all the time, the different smoothies and everything.
I mean, you'll see them on Facebook and Instagram and all that, and so you'll get an idea of better smoothies and you'll find recipes. In the Life Changing Foods book, any of the recipes, you know, are helpful for the gene mutation issue that we have. That's rampant out there that we're talking about.
See, lowering the fats gets the liver to produce less bile and it gets it to rejuvenate fast. So when you're doing that celery juice and then eating some oranges in the morning, having a mango, then lunchtime, having spinach tomato, you know, spinach tomato soup, and then in the afternoon, you're having, you're having celery sticks and apples and other things like that. And then, you know, for dinner time, you do the sweet potatoes for dinner.
It's something like that, in that realm that lowers your fats enough in one day to purge the liver so that you're not told you can't detox, so that your liver can recover and cleanse. And when it recovers and cleanses, you're home free with the methylation issue. And you can be freed from the test that tells you you have a gene mutation.
You can actually be freed from that over time. Part of that, like I said, is getting the viral load down, because it's viruses and some heavy metals that lie in the liver, that they lay in the liver there, they hide in there, and they're working on creating junk and byproduct and garbage. And this could be responsible for your symptoms too, the whole thing.
The viruses that create chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, the Epstein-Barr, that's a big one. All of these different viruses that sit in the liver, they create whatever your symptoms are, and your additional MTHFR gene mutation. You see what I mean?
It even creates that. So in short, the viral issue is creating your gene mutation. That's what I'm talking about.
Being inside the liver, getting it clogged up, getting it sluggish, getting it problematic, and then your blood gets dirty, your methylation ability drops greatly because the liver has so much to do with methylation, along with that part in the colon I was talking to you about, you guys about. And so what do you do? You get the antivirals going on, like we talked about, the zinc, and you bring in some iBright, try some iBright too.
Talk to your practitioner, say you want to go antiviral. Bring in some iBright, bring in Lemon Balm, Red Clover Tea cleans out the blood real nice, by the way. It could really reverse that inflammation that's triggering off that gene mutation test.
And Lemon Balm, the Nettle Leaf, the Olive Leaf I talked about earlier, you bring a little bit of that in. The Cat's Claw is amazing. The reason why Cat's Claw works so good with Lyme patients now, and Cat's Claw has been, that's been something that spirits always promoted back since I was a child.
And that Cat's Claw works because it's killing off viruses, and it eventually can lead you to not having a methylation problem. Now, you may have already a diagnosis of something, and you don't trigger off as a methylation problem. It doesn't mean you don't have one.
The test itself is not concrete. It's not ironclad. So it's picking up inflammation sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
It's not perfect. There's no test in medical research and medical science that is absolutely perfect. And even blood typing is not perfect in science and research testing sometimes.
Someone can have one blood type and two months later get it tested again and it be different. That has happened in history. That's not unusual.
So what I'm saying is even the most ironclad, what we feel like sometimes is not. Lemon water. Get the lemon water.
Make sure you're doing it every day. 16 ounces twice a day can help your liver, can reverse the methylation problem. Remember the B12 I talked about as well?
All these things combined keep your fats low and you're heading in the right direction and you will reverse the diagnosis. Listen, I love you. I stand behind you 100%.
Thank you for hanging in there on this show. This show might have gotten some people mad, might have gotten some people upset. Hang in there.
Have faith. Stay strong. I love you.
And just know that one day at a time, you take care. Bye bye.
