I recently heard Rupert Sheldrake (the English biologist, researcher, author and public speaker) say that "the ability to heal is inherent to all forms of life", but I personally learned this from Anthony William. After years of not being well and having good doctors tell me they didn’t know why, I found Anthony William. What he, and the Spirit he hears, taught me has given me back my life and a future without pain and exhaustion. If you are considering purchasing this book and are reading the reviews (both good and bad) you will quickly see that this book stirs up all kinds of highly emotional responses. When a book does that, then you know there must be something big going on in those pages. When you read this book, it is important to understand that there is an overall concept here that many illnesses and symptoms, that so many suffer from, are a "mystery" to current medical practices. This book does not fall into the category of following current medical practices or even current “alternative” practices. This book was not written to take “a side”. This book is something completely different and therefore provides an opportunity to take a new look at old problems. The information in this book and how this information is brought forward can trigger lots of strong feelings and emotions. Many people have had years of being sick without anyone who can diagnose them properly or help them get better. For someone who does a quick read through, with the bias of what most people believe to be true, the information in this book can appear deceivingly simple and perhaps even nothing new. It can also seem highly outrageous to some. It can trigger all sorts of responses because it is not the same old information and it does not come from a typical source. However, if you take the opportunity to read this book with "beginner’s mind" (as one of my best teachers likes to say), you may find that this book has some considerable things to teach. The overall concept that many modern illnesses, especially in the autoimmune category, have been misunderstood, misdiagnosed and mistreated and that there are better alternatives, could be life changing for millions. We all come to the table with bias of some kind. And this is why I so appreciated the teacher who taught me to have "beginners mind” when first learning or hearing something new. It takes time and effort to let go of what you think you know, to hear something new. Especially when you have been thru so much already. You have to get over the fact that you may have been told something incorrect by someone you trust. It is not that they lied, it is simply that they did not know what they did not know. Anthony William does not speak or write about the medical or alternative community with any disdain or accusations. He is just suggesting we all look at things in a new way, so that we can bring relief to those who need it. There is plenty of time and opportunity for judgment in this world, but unless we are really willing to open to new concepts and ideas, then we are not really open to finding a true solution. For some, accepting that there is at least some truth in this book, then they must also accept that the source is legitimate and that what they have always thought to be true, is in fact not true. This can be hard to do, and yet, the way this book is suggesting to heal is so brilliant and kind and gentle, that it should actually be the first step that we all take with our bodies. And that is to be kind and gentle with our bodies, trust our bodies and feed our bodies what they were built to live and thrive on, so our bodies can head towards their inherent ability to heal. Don’t just skim this book, really read it and take it in. Grasp what this book is "really" saying. It took me awhile to get it when working with Anthony because it really is a different way to think about healing and what is actually going on in our bodies than we have been told. We are all too used to taking a “magic pill” and feeling better in three days, not understanding that this "fix" did not really fix the real problem, and is even perhaps leading us away from what we really need to be doing. A practitioner that I went to many years ago told me a story that helped me in my own healing and being able to grasp how important the information in this book is. He said that when a tree gets a fungus on it and that fungus is slowly killing the tree, what we often think is the right thing to do is to spay a chemical on the tree to kill the fungus. But the problem with that is that we did not actually address the issue that caused the fungus to grow on the tree so the fungus will keep growing back and the chemicals will keep having to be sprayed and eventually the spray will seep into the roots of the tree and kill the tree. If we someone had looked more carefully they would see that the tree was not getting sufficient sunlight and air where the fungus was growing. If the area is cleared around it and proper air and light are able to penetrate to the tree the fungus will not be able to grow and the tree will be fine. It is this that Anthony and Spirit are writing about in this book. They have a different view on the base cause of illness and how to clear away what is causing the issue and allow the body to heal. Since it is a common question in many reviews, I want to clarify that I purchased the book, that I have actually read the book, and I was not offered anything to write this review. I did not receive the promotional email that some people are talking about in these reviews. I am writing this review because I have experienced firsthand a total transformation from debilitating chronic illness and getting my life back, through the help of Anthony and the Spirit that speaks to him. Interestingly, I was seeing a very well established integrative physician in NYC when I first spoke with Anthony and Spirit about 3 years ago. It took about 3 minutes and Anthony and Spirit had listed all that was going on with me and all the symptoms I was experiencing. I went to my physician and told him of my phone call and what Anthony and Spirit had told me and my physician said "you are the 4th patient of mine to talk to this guy and he has been spot on every time." I reviewed the protocol that had been recommended to me with my physician and he said, "That is a very good protocol; do it!" Anthony and Spirit taught me how to take ownership and control over the healing process. They taught me that my body was always heading towards health and balance and that if I supported it properly, I would give it what it needed to heal itself. I was lucky to have such a great physician, and I took some other important advice that he and Anthony gave me: 1. Healing takes time and 2. Any true and full healing also needs to address the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of oneself. Without that, it is not a complete process. Over the next couple of years Anthony and Spirit became an invaluable resource to my family. When one of my children wound up in the hospital having an anaphylactic reaction to something they ate and all the tests that the doctors ran showed that my child had NO allergies, within seconds on the phone, Anthony and Spirit were able to identify the allergy. When one of my children was extremely sick, Spirit knew exactly what was wrong. Anthony got on the phone (in the middle of the night) with my pediatrician and together they worked out a plan to help her. My child had the flu and strep throat at the same time. The child was under the age of 5 and because both the doctor and Anthony knew that giving antibiotics to a child that young, when they have the flu, could potentially be damaging, they came up with a protocol to help my child through the healing process and keep her safe from harm of any side effects of the two illnesses or potential damaging medications. So yes, I do have a bias, but the bias is that I have experienced firsthand the healing methods laid out in this book and the kind and compassionate nature of Anthony William. I am eternally grateful and humbled to have been able to able to work with Anthony and Spirit when I did. It is hard now, not being able to call on them as I once did, but I know how impossible it is for one man to serve all those in need and how important it is to get this information out to those in deep need. And for those complaining about Anthony William's fees in these reviews. I don’t know exactly how many people are on the waiting list to speak with him, but last I heard, when calling to speak with him, the list was over ten thousand people. This al from word of mouth because he helped so many people. Hence, the need to start writing books, and the need to have a staff of people working for him. It is a huge misconception that "healers" should not charge or not charge much. First, Anthony does not call himself a “healer” and second, he charges what he needs to support himself and all the people that are required to help him help others. I have personally started and owned more than one business. I can tell you that very little of the fee that he collects actually goes to him. Money is an exchange of energy and a reflection of priorities. So many have spent so much more than this on medicals bills. People pay what he charges (and more) to go to concerts and sports events. This book is less than $30 and has the potential to give you your life back. Anthony William is just one man and there are millions, if not more, who have the potential to be helped by the information in this book. Find a health practitioner that you like and trust and share this information with them. See where it takes you. If you read it with that “beginners mind” I talked about and it is not for you, then pass it on. It will find its way into the hands and health of someone who really needs it. And for those of you who claim that the recommended protocol is dangerous. May I remind you that I did this sort of protocol with the blessings of my very well-known and respected NYC based integrative physician, and it worked for me. There have been a lot of personal attacks of the author, the reviewers and the people commenting on the reviews. This is an inappropriate place for attacking and defaming others. People are here to learn, grow and heal.
