Discover why millions rely on the #1 New York Times best-selling Medical Medium for health answers and natural healing protocols they can’t find anywhere else to over 100 symptoms, nervous system diseases, and disorders.

The first of two essential books, in full color and over 600 pages, about our most complex organ―the BRAIN―dives deep into why people all over the world are suffering with mental health and brain-related symptoms and conditions, and explains what to do to finally heal.

“After years of doctors being unable to diagnose, identify, or pinpoint our child’s gastrointestinal issues, Anthony’s expertise and intuition led us to not only identifying the issue, but more importantly, Anthony’s precise protocols have been the invaluable catalyst in our daughter’s healing, recovery, and her happiness…” ― Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Lauren Hashian

WITH ALL THE ADVANCED BRAIN RESEARCH TODAY, WHY IS THERE SUCH A PREVALENCE OF:

· Addiction

· Alzheimer’s
· Anxiety
· Autism
· Bipolar Disorder
· Brain Fog
· Burnout
· Deficiencies

As you search for lasting pain relief, it’s easy to become lost and blame yourself, wondering what you did wrong. Answer: you’re not the problem.

Medical Medium Brain Saver is designed to serve you as a lifelong brain health reference book. In it, you’ll discover:

· What it means to have a static brain, an alloy brain, a viral brain, an emotional brain, inflamed cranial nerves, an addicted brain, an acid brain, and a burnt out, deficient brain―and what you can do about it
· The true causes of over 100 brain- and nervous system–related symptoms, disease, and disorders
· In-depth insight into the unknown reasons for the epidemic of mental, emotional, and neurological suffering―from everyday struggles with focus, concentration, and mood to life-altering diagnoses
· How to protect your brain against Alzheimer’s, PTSD, strokes, seizures, and more―before it’s too late

Best of all, you’ll get specialized healing techniques and food recommendations. In addition to fresh perspective on how to nourish your brain and reduce your exposure to everyday toxins and contaminants, you’ll find cleanse protocols, heavy metal detox cleanse guidelines, and recipes for all-new Medical Medium Brain Shots Therapy―quick hits of medicinals in liquid form, designed to bring instant relief when the brain is under particular stress.

And when you want even more healing options, you can turn to Medical Medium Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes to take the essential information this book provides to a higher level.

“We suffer for very real and physical reasons,” Anthony writes, “and we can address those reasons at their core with the information here. When we know how to navigate this world, we have the power to heal.”

If you’ve been searching for direction about brain, neurological, or mental health, you’ve finally found the answers. Whether you’re just starting out or your journey has taken you to multiple neurologists, internists, and functional medicine doctors, your time has come to discover the true cause of your suffering, move forward, and heal.

With Medical Medium Brain Saver and its companion volume, Medical Medium Brain Saver Protocols, Cleanses & Recipes, Anthony William shares never before heard knowledge about our brain and nervous system.

Brain Saver unveils the why behind more than 100 brain- and nervous system–related symptoms, diseases, and disorders; Protocols reveals the truth about how to heal in even more detail. Originally conceived as one life-saving book, Brain Saver had to be divided in two when it became too big to print.

Each book now stands alone, so you can start with the one you need most―or read both for a full picture of your brain’s health.

Joseph English was living his best life when a car accident changed everything. He suffered life changing injuries, and the doctors told him there was no chance of recovery. Facing life as a quadriplegic, Joe lost his business, his romantic partner, and, for a while, his will to carry on. His story, told with extensive contributions from his family and friends, charts his journey from being dead at the roadside to finding something to live for as he recounts his progress from injury to survival.

With absolute candour, Joe tells the whole story of his accident, his rehabilitation, and his recovery. Full of advice and suggestions from professionals in the rehabilitation journey, this book is remarkably frank about the struggles Joe has endured, and the times when he felt as if life wasn’t worth living. It addresses all the most difficult issues around life after paralysis, including loss of identity and letting go of the past, as well as providing practical information on topics such as assistive technology, financial claims and legal support. It also outlines the various roles of those in the rehabilitation team. His doctors and specialist practitioners give their unique perspectives into their processes and procedures, helping to demystify them, while Joe’s family and friends ask the kinds of questions readers will be asking too, making this an invaluable guide to what to expect for anyone going through a similar experience.
