Jilly Juice
Jilly Juice was a concept conceived by Jillian Mai Thi Epperly who could you believe it has zero medical or scientific background?
She was born in Vietnam, adopted at age 2 and moved to the United States. Her adopted father was a biotech which she claims led her to realize that pharmaceutical companies are working with doctors to keep consumers addicted to medication. So as you can see, we are working with a conspiracy theorist.
She met her husband online and moved to Ohio to live with him. She was diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder which is a mood disorder characterized by emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms that cause significant distress or impairment in menstruating women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. She was also introduced to the anti vaxx movement, and decided to seek out her own alternative treatment to cure her disorder.
She did what every other whack job does and RESEARCHED ONLINE. She discovered that candida and other fungi were always a factor which was responsible for a large amount of diseases. She started experimenting with different kombuchas and pickles, until she found her solution marketed as “JILLY JUICE”.
The drink consists of water, salt, and fermented cabbage or kale.
The recipe is as follows:
- 2 cups of water.
- A tablespoon of pink sea salt.
- Two cups of fermented cabbage or kale.
The ingredients are to be blended together, covered with cheesecloth, and fermented at room temperature for 3 days. She has recommended that individuals start at 2 cups a day and gradually increase up to 16 cups a day.
She believes that an abundance of candida in the body can cause harmful bacteria to multiply, create holes in the intestine, and allow toxins from food to enter one’s bloodstream. This leads to explosive diarreha which she refers to as “waterfalls”.
Epperly began making Jilly Juice with cabbage and kale in October 2016, and by January 2017, she was posting videos related to the drink on her personal Facebook page. The videos garnered a following, leading to the creation of a Facebook group known as “Exposing the Lies Candida: Weaponized Fungus Mainstreaming Mutancy”. Over the next few months, the group grew to include thousands of members. In the Facebook group, members would often post images of their bowel movements, comments about supposed parasites visible in said bowel movements, and videos of themselves drinking
Jilly Juice, preparing Jilly Juice as an enema, or giving Jilly Juice orally to young children and infants.
In February 2017, after receiving backlash from groups opposed to the promotion and consumption of Jilly Juice, Epperly launched a website, Jillyjuice.com, and removed the Facebook group from public view.At its peak, the Facebook group had amassed over 58,000 members. Content on Jillyjuice.com, which includes private forums, can be accessed by paying $30 annually or $5 monthly. Epperly has also provided private phone consultations for $70 an hour.
In May 2018, Epperly appeared on the American talk show Dr. Phil. The show’s host called Epperly’s claims regarding Jilly Juice “outrageous”.
INSERT DOCTOR PHIL CLIP
Death of Bruce Wilmont
In the summer of 2017, Bruce Wilmont was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and began to drink Jilly Juice. His daughter claimed he was so into it that he was drinking so much of it and starving himself. It was all coming out as diareah. About a month after starting Jilly Juice, Bruce died. Jilly responded to his death in a video stating “that Wilmot did not
consume enough Jilly Juice, stating that he “really should have kept going”, and that his medications, his consumption of pineapple juice, or the medical industry may have contributed to his death.” She later stated that she cannot be held accountable for deaths resulting in her product.

AFTERMATH
A movement of Jilly Juice opponents, which has been described as “anti-juice”, “anti-Jillian”, and “anti-Epperly”, has itself accrued thousands of adherents.[2] Petitions on Change.org calling for Epperly and Jilly Juice to be banned from social media have also been created,[2] and anti-Epperly advocates have reported her false health claims to the FDA, the FTC, the State Medical Board of Ohio, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office
