The Medical Medium: Can a Voice From the Spirit World Diagnose Your Health?
In short: Anthony William, known as the Medical Medium, claims he receives health insights from a spirit voice he has heard since age four. He promotes controversial protocols, including celery juice cleanses and specific dietary restrictions, to treat chronic illnesses. Critics argue his advice lacks scientific evidence and constitutes practicing medicine illegally.
Anthony William Coviello, who operates under the title Medical Medium, claims his diagnostic abilities stem from a connection to a spirit that communicates via a voice near his right ear. Since childhood, he has asserted an ability to scan individuals for infections, soul fractures, and various ailments. His health philosophy often centers on the Epstein-Barr virus, which he blames for a wide array of conditions, including thyroid issues and most cancers. He contends that these diseases are modern developments linked to the Industrial Revolution, a view that contradicts established scientific evidence regarding genetics and viral transmission.
Central to his regimen is the consumption of celery juice, which he describes as a miracle tonic capable of reducing inflammation and improving energy. He mandates that this juice be consumed pure, on an empty stomach, and in specific quantities. However, experts from organizations like the McGill Office for Science and Society note that these claims lack peer-reviewed support. Dietitians emphasize that juicing removes beneficial fiber and warn that relying on such protocols can lead to dangerous delays in seeking legitimate medical diagnosis and treatment for serious conditions.
Beyond his dietary advice, William has faced scrutiny for his business practices and lack of formal medical credentials. Investigations have highlighted his use of affiliate links for supplements and allegations that he incentivized positive book reviews on Amazon. Critics, including medical professionals, argue that his radio segments—where he performs remote health scans and prescribes treatments—fall under the legal definition of practicing medicine without a license. Despite these concerns, he maintains a massive social media following and has achieved success on the New York Times Best Seller list, often collaborating with platforms like Goop.
