How to choose a cleanse from Anthony William's book "Cleanse for Health" ? Which one of the Original, Simplified or Intensive 3:6:9 cleanses should you choose? Would it be better to start directly with one of them or should you first eliminate problematic foods with the Antipathogenic Cleanse ?
How do you choose between a cleanse from The Healing Medium series and another cleanse from the other books in the series? If you've read them, you know that Anthony William includes at least one suggested cleanse in almost all of them. Should you start with the 28-Day Healing Cleanse from The Healing Medium - Revised and Expanded Edition , the 90-Day Thyroid Rehab from Thyroid Healing , or the 3:6:9 Cleanse he first introduced in Liver Help ?
Sometimes it’s hard to navigate the options. In the book “Cleanse for Health” alone, there are five main methods— Antipathogenic Cleanse , Morning Cleanse , Heavy Metal Cleanse , Mono-Food Cleanse, and 3:6:9 Cleanse—and almost every one of them has different variations. There are also options for intermittent fasting, water fasting, and juice fasting for those who are into these practices. Where do you start? This article will help you make your choice.
Here are the main topics we will cover:
- Overview of cleansing options
- Why should we cleanse ourselves?
- Choosing a cleanse: where to start?
- Cleansing 3:6:9: which option to choose?
- Food intolerance
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Children
- Liver examination

- Celery juice - a powerful medicine
- Macronutrient counting - the new calorie counting
- Increased and decreased calorie intake
The leading question
As we consider which cleanse to choose, we must remember that our bodies are changing. When we first embark on a cleanse, we may have been suffering from a chronic illness for a long time that has created multiple nutrient deficiencies. In addition, we are exposed to various pests every year. Sometimes our liver is toxic and sluggish, then it needs special care and should be our priority, because it is this congestion that has made our body so toxic. Other times, we are going through an emotionally difficult period and we start to eat poorly and secrete a huge amount of adrenaline. Sometimes we are attacked by a new pathogen that can weaken our immune system. Life presents us with difficulties that constantly change us. One cleanse may be appropriate for the current moment, but in six months we may need another. This can continue to change or repeat over the years.
Use the following guiding question when choosing a cleanse: “What feels doable to me right now?” The cleanse that you will actually do will be most beneficial to you.
You may be able to eliminate a few harmful foods from your diet for a while. If so, read more about the Antipathogenic Cleanse to learn how eliminating certain foods can bring you relief. Choose the level that is right for you, and one day you may even take on the 3:6:9 Cleanse.
If you travel a lot, as much as you'd like to try the 3:6:9 Cleanse, it just isn't feasible with your schedule. In that case, perhaps a morning cleanse will be feasible enough to last you until you have a nine-day window of time to get serious about 3:6:9.
Perhaps you are trying to help a loved one who suffers from anxiety, depression, ADHD, or Alzheimer's disease, but they are unwilling to follow the guidelines for every meal. In this case, you will find it helpful to read and learn more about the Heavy Metal Cleanse .
If you have sensitive digestion, before starting the 3:6:9 Cleanse, you should be able to process food without pain or irritation. This is an excellent time to introduce the Mono-Food Cleanse to give your body a gentle detox and intestinal lining repair that will allow you to one day transition to the 3:6:9 Cleanse protocols.
Or maybe you’re tired of other chronic disease symptoms, your gut is functioning well enough, and you’re ready for a change. This is the perfect time to take on the Original, Simplified, or Intensive 3:6:9 cleanse for a complete change.
And once you have completed the 3:6:9 cleanse as many times as you feel is necessary, you may feel ready to tackle the 28-Day Cleanse or the 90-Day Thyroid Rehab from Anthony William’s other books. If you have already completed one or more of the cleanses in The Healing Medium series – congratulations! You have prepared your body for the deeper healing effects of the 3:6:9 protocols.
It is extremely important to give your body and mind what they need to heal. Whatever you start with will change you. Then, when you ask yourself the guiding question again, “What feels doable to me right now?”, the answer will likely be different.
The short answers
One answer is that no matter which cleanse you choose, you can't go wrong. Each cleanse in The Healer Medium's books prepares you for the next one.
Additionally, any 3:6:9 protocol is almost always a great place to start. This cleanse is the most effective and shortest, making it easy to do. The 3:6:9 cleanse targets the foundation of health—the liver—and restores the body’s strength. By helping the liver rid itself of the toxins and pathogens that have built up deep within it that are preventing it from functioning, you are helping to heal your entire body.
By the way, if you are wondering how the 3:6:9 cleanses differ from the books “Cleanse for Health” and “Help for the Liver” , the answer is simple – The original 3:6:9 cleanse is the same as the liver healing plan, only with some improvements. In addition, in the book “Cleanse for Health” Anthony William offers two more options – simplified and intensive, which are new.
You choose which option to do, and we’ll look at how they compare a little later. You can also upgrade the Original or Simplified 3:6:9 by including a heavy metal detox modification. You can find information about this in Chapter 21 of the book “Cleanse for Health.” (The 3:6:9 Intensive Cleanse already includes a heavy metal detox.)
Once you have completed the 3:6:9 cleanse, you can repeat the nine-day cycle as many times as you like, choose one of the other cleanses for long-term healing or health maintenance, or return to your normal lifestyle. Whichever plan in the Healer Medium series you choose after the 3:6:9 cleanse, it will be much more effective because of what you have already accomplished. This sets the stage for even better results from the healing practices you undertake later.

Why should we cleanse ourselves?
Now let’s take a closer look at the choice of cleanse. When we try to cleanse our bodies, we need to think about what we are actually trying to eliminate. What do the words detox and cleanse mean? What are we trying to get out of our bodies? Popular detox regimens do not provide specific explanations about the nature of poisons and toxins and how they are removed from the body. In fact, no one knows what, if anything, is actually leaving the body.
The word detoxification brings attention to toxins. It makes you realize that first there was a toxicity, and then you start to wonder about the origin of that toxicity. The last thing industries want is for us to be aware of their poisons and what they are doing to us, and the need to cleanse ourselves. If we are not aware of the industrial poisons that are contributing to our illness, it ultimately forces us to spend our money trying to heal ourselves, and the manufacturers will only profit from it.
In a series of articles under the general title “Pests That Make Us Sick,” we’ve looked in detail at what we should try to cleanse our bodies of and, most importantly, what we should try to limit our exposure to. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s lurking in our bodies: first, traces of industrial chemicals that have seeped into all of our organs. Many of them have been
produced before we were born and passed down from generation to generation at conception. So when we think about cleansing, we need to be very detailed. We need to consider toxic heavy metals, insecticides and other pesticides, fungicides, residual fumes, household cleaners, air fresheners, scented candles, hair sprays, perfumes, colognes and other everyday chemicals that saturate our tissues. We need to think about all the organs and especially the liver and brain.
Let’s not forget the pathogens. One of the main reasons we strive to remove industrial toxins from our bodies is that they feed pathogens and cause disease. This is the biggest problem – the more toxic industrial chemicals and poisons lurking in our bodies, the more food there is for the countless viruses and disease-causing bacteria. Different symptoms and diseases are the result of different combinations of pathogens and toxins in the body.
We are doing our bodies a huge favor when we cleanse these pests. You will notice that on the 3:6:9 Cleanse, as with every other cleanse in the book “Cleanse for Health,” the fat in our food is limited. The idea is to thin the blood. As mentioned, almost everyone today eats too much fat, which prevents the body from performing its daily detox. When you thin the blood, toxins easily come to the surface of the tissues and freely enter the bloodstream. When we add foods that contain beneficial nutrients and healing phytochemicals, which make up absolutely all of the cleanses in the “Healer Medium” series, we are helping to remove toxins from the body and repair the damage caused by pathogens and toxins.
Choosing a cleanse: where to start?
When someone is suffering from multiple chronic illnesses, it can be difficult to decide where to start with what the Medium Healer has taught them. As mentioned earlier, the 3:6:9 Cleanse is a great place to start. It builds strength faster, so that when a person decides to do another detox protocol later on, it will be easier to follow and will yield more benefits.
We must keep in mind that each of us has a different mix and variety of pathogens, toxic heavy metals, and other pollutants. We face different emotional challenges, losses, and stressors, and we rely on different sources of help and support. Some of us have never faced emotional or even financial challenges before. All of these differences play a role in how we feel and how our bodies function when seeking answers to healing. Unfounded statements like “My body doesn’t like this food,” “This approach isn’t for me, but maybe it will work for you,” or “This food doesn’t help me because my body works differently, but it will help you” ignore something important: our bodies function in very similar ways. If you don’t think so, it’s because we all go through different physical and emotional challenges that affect our health in different ways. Everyone can benefit from the information in The Medium Healer’s books .
It is important to reiterate that you cannot go wrong in choosing a cleanse. It is impossible to make a mistake. All of the Healer Medium's cleanses are good and will help stop the progression of the disease. None of them will be a waste of time and effort - on the contrary, you will achieve excellent results.
Each cleanse is effective in its own way, and each cleanse heals many aspects of the body—for example, by starting the 90-day thyroid rehab, you are not neglecting the liver or brain. Look back at the cleanse highlights section and see which one makes the most sense for you at this time. If the 28-day cleanse from the Medium Healer appeals to you and you can do it, do it. And if you prefer one of the 3:6:9 cleanses, start with that. If you are looking for a long-term cleanse, repeat the 3:6:9 a few times, or why not the intensive version if you can.
The 3:6:9 cleanse effectively sets the stage for any other Healer Medium cleanse, so if you haven't made up your mind yet, start with the 3:6:9. It's the perfect first cleanse to prepare you for the other cleanses, and it's also the most basic cleanse. Once you've experienced the results of it, you can always rely on it as a great reference point to lean on.
This doesn’t mean you have to start with the 3:6:9 cleanse. The other protocols in Anthony William’s books also provide an excellent foundation. The reason he offers so many options is because they are tailored to your needs. Some are longer, some shorter; some have a flexible schedule, some have a set rhythm, and some have a specific feature. Some focus on specific healing foods, while others cover a broader scope. Some offer ideas as part of your usual regimen, while others give you a menu for the entire day.
Remember, you have the freedom to make changes. We are constantly evolving physically, emotionally, and spiritually, so we should be able to change when it comes to cleanses. If one plan works for you right now, in a few months or a year, you may find that another one works for you. There are times when we travel more; there are times when we spend more time at home or at work, and that affects the way we eat. Trying each different cleanse is a highly individual experience.
If you are still wondering which cleanse to choose, it is time to break free from this cycle. Whichever cleanse you choose from the books of The Healer Medium , it will be the right one for you. The angels know that your body wants to heal. The universe knows that your body wants to heal. God knows that your body is ready to heal. You will receive the right guidance at the beginning, and in the future you will be free to choose another cleanse. The results will make the direction clearer.
