You’ve heard of the milkman and doorstep deliveries… well, every morning I use the juicer to make celery juice and deliver it outside my daughter’s bedroom door! 😊
I then drink my own celery juice on an empty stomach, as advised by Anthony William (Medical Medium).
We both wait at least 30 minutes before having anything else. During that time, I make our delicious Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie with banana, oranges, spirulina, wild blueberry powder, barley grass juice powder, and dulse, and then wash all the equipment.
Why do I have this daily ritual?
Because I became increasingly aware of inflammation in my body. I’ve never liked putting medication into my body unless absolutely necessary, as the side effects concern me. Where possible, I choose a natural approach and aim to live to a ripe old age with a healthy body and mind.
When I was little, I suffered numerous ear infections. Looking back, I sometimes joke that perhaps I didn’t want to hear the rubbish being spouted by the religious cult we were in! Miraculously, after we left the cult when I was 10 years old, my health improved dramatically. I loved life and flourished.
At 25, I developed irritable bowel symptoms during a stressful period working as a Sister Midwife in a very busy Glasgow maternity unit. Some consultants expected to be treated like gods, and I worked incredibly hard to prove my worth. Although I never took any sick leave, the pressure took its toll on my body.
Pregnancy wasn’t easy either. Once again, I felt I had to prove myself—as a new wife and a Sister Midwife working in an English maternity unit. I pushed myself beyond my limits and suffered hyperemesis throughout pregnancy, along with terrible heartburn. My first daughter was born prematurely and had to be transferred as an emergency to Hope Hospital.
With my second daughter, I was Group B Strep positive and delivered at 35 weeks.
Marriage, motherhood, shift work, and night duty all added to the strain. Ill health continued, with frequent ear, nose, and throat infections. Nearly every Christmas, I seemed to be battling congestion and catarrh.
The shock of David’s death in 2025 caused a huge surge in gut inflammation and reinforced my desire to follow Anthony William’s advice.
My goal is simple: to heal my body, reduce inflammation, support my immune system, and live to a ripe old age for my daughters—and hopefully, one day, for grandchildren too, if that opportunity arises.
I know this approach won’t be for everyone, but it feels right for me, and I’m hopeful about the future, while thoroughly making the most of every day.
If you have chronic illness or a mystery illness, I would highly recommend this book. 📖❤️
