Supplements How I started, Added, and Timing

Supplements have been an important part of my healing journey. Continue reading to find out how I started with supplements, what I take, and how I decided to add things in as time went on in my healing journey. At the end, you will also see why I take these supplements with a little information about what each one does for our bodies and livers.

Here is a video telling you about this content if you prefer to listen rather than read.

How I picked my supplements

The first book I read for the Medical Medium was “Cleanse to Heal”. In this book, he goes into depth about what supplements work well for many different conditions. I went through the condition list and made a list of the things I was experiencing. I read the true cause and saw that the supplements were repeated in many of the conditions.

I decided to look at my most prominent conditions for fertility which were endometriosis and ovarian cysts. I also made a list of supplements and foods to work with from his endometriosis podcast in the radio show archive episodes and from the Cleanse to Heal suggestions. 

After reading the supplement section on how to take supplements and what to do with supplements while doing one of the cleanses, I decided to start supplements after my first 369 cleanse.

I actually found the Medical Medium by searching up fruit cleanses on YouTube and he came up talking about his book, Cleanse to Heal.

I started with the 369 cleanse originally and it called for drinking the HMDS most days. Therefore I invested in getting the Spirulina, Atlantic Dulse, and Barley Grass Juice Powder first. 

I didn’t realize that it needed to be the JUICE powder at first and I was putting barley grass powder in my HMDS at first. The JUICE powder was so much more expensive which is why I got the other one not realizing it was the wrong one until I heard him say on a live that the details matter.

Then I started official supplementation with zinc, vitamin C, cat’s claw, and lemon balm. I wouldn’t take the entire dosage recommended because sometimes it would make me feel nauseous.

Supplements while Cleansing & Dosages 

In “Cleanse to Heal” in the “What You Need To Know About Supplements” chapter, MM mentions that you don’t have to work on supplements while you cleanse or you can if you want to as well. So basically it is up to you! He also mentions that supplements have more power when you are on a cleanse because usually cleanses entail staying fat-free. When we are fat-free, the nutrients absorb better.

He also suggests ½ the doses listed if you are on a cleanse as well. So basically it’s up to you! Supplements are a great support to the cleanses, but are not necessary to cleanse when on an MM cleanse.

I don’t take the full dose recommendations from Cleanse to Heal because the supplements can be pretty pricey.  I am constantly doing the morning liver rescue cleanse which helps the body cleanse as well as the supplements. 

I usually half the amount or take 1-2 of each thing. The supplements last me quite a bit doing things this way.

In the section about what cleanse to do and how to take supplements, it says to try supplements listed for one thing at a time and you’ll notice other things healing as you focus on that one thing. This definitely happened to me as I was trying to heal my reproductive issues, my migraines and acid reflux went away! I wasn’t even working on that!

A Note on Vimergy Brand

I highly recommend the Vimergy Brand when looking for supplements. I noticed improvements more quickly when switching over to this brand. 

I didn’t have any Vimergy supplements at first because MM didn’t start endorsing them until I was a few months into trying these things out. I did look at his supplement list suggestions on his website because he has found the cleanest ones that are alcohol-free. Pure is another company I see on this list a lot.

Switching to Vimergy from the other brands I was using I saw a noticeable difference! The Vimergy lemon balm was much more potent so I didn’t need as many dropperfuls as was suggested in the cleans to heal supplements suggestions. 

The GoldenSeal was also visibly changing the quality of my skin as well. My breakouts would calm down immediately when I made the switch.

Medical Medium also endorses Vimergy as well because he says they are working for the light. They use the most pure ingredients and they do extensive tests to make sure they are pure. They use quality ingredients with high potencies which makes them more effective. 

They also are making these supplements very affordable and not adding any nasty things to them such as alcohol or other fillers. Vimergy does not add any of that stuff; it is pure.

You can find more information right from the source in this live listen in the resource section at the bottom of this article. 

How I added gradually 

The zinc and lemon balm would make me feel sick because it wasn’t the Vimergy brand and I think I was trying to do too many things at once to heal. If you add too many healing protocols at once, you could feel the detoxing effect very intensely. It is OK to go slow!

Nausea can also happen because it is a reaction of the viruses on the nerves when you are trying to heal or if they are dying so I think it could have also been some of this as well causing my nausea. But the point of this is to go slow with supplements and try some then continue adding as you heal!

It is completely OK to just focus on healing foods at first as well.

I slowly added more to this list as I continued my journey. I only take 1-2 of each though because it can get pricey. So if you are worried about the money for this, just focus on healing foods first. I do recommend at least trying to get the spirulina, barley grass juice powder, Atlantic dulse, MicroC, and Zinc to start!

Sometimes I go without a supplement for a bit because I’m worried about budget and things. But in general, I try to take them every morning. 

Timing

I used to take all my supplements at night for about 2 years or so because that’s when I usually would take any medication I was on for allergies, birth control, and acid reflux so that was my routine.

Now, I take most of my supplements during the morning but I save the oil-based ones for nighttime to stay fat-free in the morning. I also wanted my supplements to be more easily absorbed and I usually have fat at night so fat does get in the way of vitamin, trace mineral, and glucose absorption. 

What I take

The supplement dosages are listed in Cleanse to Heal and other books for various conditions and symptoms. A dropperful is different from drops so be sure to read these carefully in Cleanse to Heal to see the right dosages. Listed here is what I generally take.

You can’t really overdose on natural herbs and food, but you can feel sick if you haven’t had these things before and the sick feeling is coming from the viruses dying or reacting to being killed or fought off.

At night I take:

• Oil of oregano – 2 capsules
• Vitamin D – 5 drops
• Melatonin – 2-4 capsules. Usually 2. Which is 10 mg.
• Primrose oil – 1-2 capsules only before ovulation if I take it. I don’t take it every night.

Sometimes I don’t take all of these supplements, and just take the melatonin at night though depending on what I feel like. 

In the morning I take the following tinctures:

• B12 – 1-2 dropperfuls. I usually take 1.
• Ashwagandha – 1 dropperful.
• Licorice Root – 1 dropperful.
• Nettle Leaf – 1-2 dropperful. Usually 2.
• Iodine Edge – 8 drops with something else like a blueberry shot or another supplement that tastes good like Nettle.
• Propolis Pure – 1 dropperful.
• GoldenSeal – (I take it for two weeks and stop for two weeks) 2-6 dropperfuls. I usually take 2 because I go off and on for this one. When I’m sick though I increase this to 6 because it helps so much!
• Zinc – 1-6 +. This is another essential for when I’m sick. I’ll do the Zinch Shock Therapy which is 2 dropperfuls every 6 waking hours. I usually take 2 dropperfuls most mornings.
• Mullein Leaf – 1-3 dropperfuls. Usually 2 dropperfuls. 

In the morning I also take the following pills:

• Micro C – 2 pills. When I’m sick I’ll take 2 pills every 5 waking hours.
• Magnesium – 1 pill.
• CoQ12 – 1 pill.
• Tumeric – 2 pills.
• L-lysine – 2 pills.
• Black Cohosh – 2 pills
• D-mannose – 2 pills

The Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie also has the following:

• Spirulina – 1-2 scoops if I’m doing the advanced version of the smoothie
• Atlantic Dulse – 2 scoops using the scooper from the powders.
• Barley Grass Juice Powder – 1-2 scoops
• Alma Berry Powder – 1 scoop

A Note for When I Travel

When I travel, I also take less and just take the essentials. The essentials I usually go for are:

1. Micro C
2. Zinc
3. Lysine
4. Melatonin at night

Sometimes I’ll take more with me, but these are the ones I try to bring. If I’m going on a plane I will not bring my tinctures unless I check a bag.

Why I Take These Supplements | What do they do?

In general, all the supplements help with the immune system by killing pathogens, blocking pathogens, or disarming them. Some bind onto toxins and heavy metals and remove them. Others just help the immune system function better by helping the white blood cells themselves. 

The details next to what each supplement does are taken from “Liver Rescue” by the Medical Medium Anthony William. Some of the information is from what I remember as well. I’ll Put LR in front of what I take from the book.

At night I take:

• Oil of Oregano – Helps with Streptococcus and Reproductive Health. It is an overall immune booster. I couldn’t find this in Liver Rescue (LR), but he talks about it on his website and I’ve heard this through my research. On his blog, he says it helps with painful menstruation. It is antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and antiseptic. Strengthens core organs. Removes poison from the body and detoxes the lymphatic system to name just a few things!
• Vitamin D3 – Feel good vitamin! This is what is made when we get some sunshine! In LR it says that this vitamin can help ignite the stored Vitamin D from the sun and food that may be inactive due to a stagnant liver. Be careful not to take too much because this can counter the effects. Too much is toxic to the liver, so it has to expel it. 
• Melatonin – helps me sleep and also helps remove cysts. – This one doesn’t have fat, but I take it at night because it puts me to bed kind of quickly! LR says this vitamin helps reduce tumors and cysts growing in the liver. It can also reignite the capacity for the liver to make its own melatonin again if it stopped due to a sluggish liver. It is also a natural anti-inflammatory that the liver’s immune system can use.
• Primrose oil – helps with a healthy lining of the uterus. (This is not on the MM website or in the books, but I’ve seen this on other websites and MM has an evening primrose oil recommendation on his Supplements page).

 

Sometimes I just take the melatonin at night and not the other things listed here depending on what I feel like or if it was a late night.

 

In the morning I take the following tinctures:

• B12 – helps with neurological stuff and digestion. LR says to be sure to take it as adenosylcobalamin with methylcobalamin. It also says that B12 is essential in many liver functions including the ability for cells to communicate, protects nerve tissue, helps the liver perform its 2,000 chemical functions, keeps it out of stagnation, strengthens cells and lobules, and prevents the blood vessels from atrophying.
• Ashwagandha – calms you down. LR says it strengthens the adrenals to work properly, especially when under stress. It also protects the liver from excess adrenaline and it helps the liver produce and store dozens of hormones.
• Licorice Root – great for the immune system. LR says this vitamin helps with overall digestion because it increases hydrochloric acid in the stomach and soothes an inflamed or irritated gallbladder and intestinal lining. It also decreases viruses inside the liver and brings down excessive liver heat due to a liver that is highly toxic and struggling. It also reduces liver spasms.
• Nettle Leaf – really good at fighting Streptococcus. LR says it also helps increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach and improves bile production which processes fats. It helps inhibit gallstone growth and supports bile passageways through the liver. It enhances liver cell functions, reduces liver heat from toxins, and gently cleanses old and new toxins and pathogens in the liver while improving the liver’s adaptive abilities.
• Iodine Edge – Great for Thyroid health. I only take this with a shot of juice or in my tea when I used to take it at night. This is not listed in LR.
• Propolis Pure – like honey on steroids! It’s supposed to help with intuition and is an overall immune booster. This is not listed in LR.
• Goldenseal (I take it for two weeks and stop for two weeks) This has helped tremendously with my acne and fighting Strep. I noticed improvement immediately when switching to the Vimergy brand! LR says Goldenseal purges gentle bacterial debris, viral byproducts, neurotoxins, and other pathogenic waste matter from the body including the lymphatic system and liver. It can also quickly suffocate and destroy pathogens.
• Zinc – Overall immune booster. LR says that Zin needs to be a liquid sulfate. It is responsible for all of the over 2,000 chemical functions of the liver including the creation of the liver in the womb and the growth of it until adulthood. Zinc is not abundant in our food because the chemicals used have made the solid devoid of it in the topsoil where most crops grow. The liver stores a lot of zinc because it is so essential in the functions of the body, but we still need a lot more because we are bombarded with pathogens and stress due to our lifestyles in today’s age. One of the reasons the liver stores the zinc is because it helps purge the liver of copper which can cause organ harm. The presence of copper can cause many autoimmune symptoms and illnesses. 
• Mullein Leaf – Helps kill Streptococcus. LR says it is an antiviral and antibacterial. It reduces inflammation, clams liver spasms and liver heat, and soothes the liver. It can also expel mucus formation inside the liver’s blood vessels and cells.

In the morning I also take the following pills:

• Micro C – Vitamin C that is highly absorbable in this form. Overall immune booster. LR says it strengthens the liver’s immune system. It can speed up white blood cell recuperation and recovery in between wars with pathogens. Vitamin C also weakens pathogens and the liver uses Vitamine C in its 2,000+ chemical liver functions. It cleanses and detoxifies the liver and can loosen fat cells. It strengthens the adrenal gland and helps with recovery after stress. It also helps repair scar tissue deep in the liver’s core.
• Magnesium glycinate – LR says it makes blood vessels less restricted and more supple in order to allow blood flow through the liver. It gently flushes toxins out of the liver at the same time it calms liver spasms and agitation. It’s responsible for dozens of liver chemical functions including adaptation skills. It also gently cleanses the intestinal tract, allowing the liver to receive cleansed, less-toxic blood. 
• CoQ12 – LR says this is also called Coenzyme Z10. It is a gentle antioxidant that supports all liver functions and protects liver cells from oxidative stress. One of the liver’s chemical functions can alter, adjust and customize specific antioxidants for its specific needs in the moment. CoZ10 is one of the antioxidants it needs to prevent extreme cell damage.
• Turmeric- LR says it reduces liver swelling when a liver is hot from toxins. It helps squeeze out mucus from bile passageways and other places in the liver while it wakes up and stimulates liver cells. It also reignites and reroutes energy throughout the liver by clearing up all of this. Helps with hormone production inside the liver while removing and cleaning out unwanted toxic hormones. Overall, it increases liver performance.
• Lysine – acts as a smokescreen in the liver to pathogens so the immune system can attack them! LR says that viruses hate this vitamin. It’s like a powder that comes out of a fire extinguisher in the liver; a viral retardant that deters viruses from proliferating. L-lysine strengthens the immune system in the liver and aids in some of the organ’s most essential functions.
• Black Cohosh – This one was recommended on the Radio Show Archive Podcast. It’s supposed to help with Endometriosis. Not listed in LR.
• D-mannose – Helps with endometriosis. LR says this vitamin binds to bacteria in the urinary tract to get rid of it. It helps UTIs a lot. Also, strep, which is a bacteria, can cause spasms in the urinary tract and reproductive system so this helps here as well.

The Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie also has the following:

• Spirulina – is an algae that helps with heavy metal cleansing. LR says this algae also provides an abundance of vitamins and minerals to reestablish the liver’s storage banks of nutrients that it can easily convert into what it needs in the moment to release and deliver throughout the body. It stops pathogen growth and revitalizes the liver by binding onto toxins and poisons and carrying them out of the liver safely. Helps with the 2000+ liver functions. Aids in liver’s glucose storage and protein conversions. Hawaiian spirulina is no longer recommended due to all the trash in the Pacific Ocean.
• Atlantic Dulce – It is a seaweed that binds onto pathogens and toxins to take them out of the body. LR doesn’t list this supplement.
• Barley Grass Juice Powder – Helps with toxic heavy metal removal. LR says it contains phytonutrients that feed an undernourished liver while allowing it to detox pathogens and toxins both inherited and newly exposed. It takes and gives by removing these bad things and replacing their spot with vital nutrients the body needs.
• Amla Berry Powder – Helps with reproductive health. LR says that it contains a rich wealth of antioxidants that protect the liver from old, inherited toxins as well as from new everyday exposure. It is high in vitamin C which does all the things listed for Vitamin C earlier. It also can help with liver functions and restore liver glucose stores.
