PompaCore Cellular Detox – A Top 5 Strategy To Create Your Best Health Ever

180° Solution™ Strategy #5: PompaCore Cellular Detox™ 

What if you’re regulating your blood sugar with the perfect dietintermittent fastingincorporating diet variation, waking up early to burst train on a fasted stomach, and still not getting the ultimate results you desire? Enter health strategy #5: PompaCore Cellular Detox™. I use TRUE and CELLULAR because detox is only real and lasting when it occurs at the cellular level. Detoxification is a fundamental component of cellular healing, one which most carries out improperly or neglect altogether. No matter how clean a lifestyle we lead, toxins bombard us from all angles, including our air, water, foodsbody care productsclothing, and even store receipts. But since we can’t live in a bubble, periodic PompaCore Cellular Detox™ is essential to a healthy life in our modern toxic world.

PompaCore Cellular Detox™ – A Top 5 Strategy To Create Your Best Health Ever!

The Likely Reason You Don't Feel Well.  

Think of your body as a bucket. Now imagine the toxins that surround us in daily life are the liquid that slowly fills that bucket. With each toxic exposure, drop-by-drop, your bucket becomes more full. A drop here and there isn’t such a big deal, as our immune systems were designed to handle a degree of toxicity. However, chronic exposure to an onslaught of chemical, physical and emotional stressors fills up your bucket each day, and at some point, the bucket begins to overflow. It may take a few decades before your bucket spills over, but once it does, cellular inflammation is triggered, symptoms arise, and disease manifests.
Sadly, the tactics, treatments, and downstream detox that got people well in the past do not work nearly as well today because we are sicker and more toxic. The epidemic is at the cell, and the detox MUST go there to be effective. We need to recognize that the massive increase in neurotoxins we are exposed to is like no time in man's history. Many of these chemicals are new to our bodies. They have become ubiquitous in our everyday lives, filling our buckets drop by drop, shutting down natural cellular detox pathways, and even changing DNA to express diseases or unwanted symptoms. Whether it’s weight-loss resistance, hormone dysregulation, thyroid problems, diabetes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, autism, autoimmune, and even cancer, the answer is to go “upstream” to the source and address toxicity and its effect on the cell to achieve restored health. I’ve always said, “If you don’t heal the cell, you won’t get well.” Perhaps here I’ll be more specific: if you don’t detox the cell, you will never get well. I believe periodic detoxification is for nearly every human being on the planet, but it must be done right to get results. And how does one properly detox the cell? By using a systematic approach, I call PompaCore Cellular Detox™. Note: This information is not just for the sick and challenged. Anyone looking to live a longer and healthier life needs to understand these cellular detox and healing principles. When it comes to anti-aging, this is the true science.

If you don't detox the cell, you will never get well.

What is PompaCore Cellular Detox™? 

PompaCore Cellular Detox™ is a process I learned and created through my own health challenges and those I coach back to health, which improves cellular function, so the body can detox and heal itself. The approach incorporates my 5R’s of PompaCore Cellular Detox and Healing™, which has become a roadmap to fixing the cell and explaining the epidemic of inflammatory driven chronic diseases and the growing number of unexplainable, over-medicated illnesses. The 5R’s is a tool and simple strategy for understanding and repairing the complexities of cellular pathways that have become damaged by the toxic onslaught of today’s world. Using the 5R’s to repair the cell upstream's natural detox pathways while keeping the downstream detox pathways open (lymph, liver, kidneys, and gut), and including true binders to assist in removing toxins, is what I call PompaCore Cellular Detox™. Therefore, PompaCore Cellular Detox™ goes upstream to target the source of illness and involves three components:
  • Applying the 5R’s principles as a roadmap to fix the cell
  • Opening and supporting critical detox pathways
  • Utilizing true binding agents to remove toxins from the cell
In contrast, PompaCore Cellular Detox™ is not simply …
  • A colon cleanse (good to help with constipation and clear toxins from the colon, but not far enough up-stream)
  • A foot bath (good for edema in lower legs, but I’m not convinced of any detox benefit)
  • A raw juice fast (if using greens and not a fruit, you will get some fasting benefits to support detox at best)
  • A coffee enema (good to move toxins from the liver and toxic bile complex, but not far enough upstream)
  • A bottle of chlorella tablets (not a true binder)
  • 7-10 day herbal cleanses (not true binders)
Although these strategies and countless others can help detox, they are too far downstream to make the impact needed to remove toxins at the cellular level. Again, one must find and remove the source of illness to begin the journey back to health. The 5R’s provide the roadmap to fixing the cell, but the source of toxicity must be removed properly whilst keeping detox pathways open and supported to provoke cellular revitalization. Including a true binding agent (or agents) in the protocol is critical to preventing re-circulation of toxins once they move out of the cell. Many detox agents are used today, but few are true binders, thus having little to no effect. Examples include chlorella, often promoted as the “metal magnet,” but in real human tests makes no change in the toxic burden. There are many 7-10 days herbal detox cleanses that promise to change your life but again fall short of any real change. Many of these products are even dangerous because they are weak binders, meaning they simply stir up toxins without completely removing them from the body, thereby allowing them to cross back into deeper tissues (like the brain). This is where the distinction lies between PompaCore Cellular Detox™ and other forms of detox. Utilizing this system has made all the difference in my clients’ results because it ensures toxins are safely and completely removed by considering the entire detox process: from the cell upstream and moving through the downstream pathways and out of the body.

The Three Amigos Robbing Your Vitality

Amigo #1: METALS We have grown up in what is called the “lead generation.” It was everywhere, from gasoline to paint, and it is said it will take four generations to be bred out of our bodies and environment. The number one exposure of lead is actually our mothers in utero. I can speak personally about this because my wife’s lead ended up in all three of my biological children, which created several unexplainable challenges early on in their lives until we detoxed it correctly. As far as mercury exposures, our parents were the first generation to get amalgam fillings in their teeth, containing 50% mercury that vaporizes directly into the brain. My generation got hit the hardest by increasing vaccinations and more amalgam fillings than any other generation. This qualifies us as the “mercury generation” and the opportunity to pass it on to our children for at least four generations. Most practitioners today agree that heavy metals are at the root of many illnesses, but very few understand how to truly and safely remove them from the body. This is my greatest pet peeve in alternative health care. People are told that chlorella and other herbal concoctions will take care of their heavy metal detox. As mentioned, these are not true binders of heavy metals and will not pull a heavy metal out of the body, let alone from the deep nerve tissue where it bio-accumulates. Worse yet, many are told after 3-6 months of a detox program that they are metal-free. In reality, it takes 20-30 years of low dose exposure to accumulate heavy metals; to insinuate that it will come out in a few months is simply impossible. Please read my articles on when detox becomes dangerous for more on this topic: Part 1Part 2, and Part 3. Amigo #2: MOLD But it doesn’t stop with heavy metals. Biotoxins from mold are arguably more toxic. God warns people about mold and even directs them regarding how to handle it in the Bible in the book of Leviticus Chapter 14. Today, mold is an even greater problem because of new construction methods that can feed its growth. Toxic mold is evil and nasty, and I have seen it ruin many lives. The sad part is that most practitioners do not understand it or the proper testing and detox method. For more info on mold and how to safely detox it see Cellular Healing TV episode 73. Amigo #3: HIDDEN INFECTION Hidden infections are oftentimes the thing that keeps many from getting their lives back. They are difficult to detect and difficult to get rid of. They come in the form of root canals that harbor anaerobic bacteria that no antibiotic or herbal killer can reach because they are deep in microtubules that remain even after the root is extracted. Cavitations in the jaw left behind from tooth extractions (like wisdom teeth) will often leave a space that breeds infection. The anaerobic bacteria from the infection slowly work their way into your bloodstream, causing major immune issues and even triggering autoimmune disease. Lyme disease is perhaps even more misunderstood than heavy metal and mold challenges and goes undetected in countless so-called unexplainable illnesses. The problem is for years, western medicine didn’t recognize Lyme disease as a real illness, and the treatment was simply a round of antibiotics. If you didn’t get well, then you didn’t have Lyme; it was “all in your head.” Today we know it is, in fact, real but still very difficult to detect and kill. Lyme will even occur with co-infections such as bacteria like Babesia and Bartonella. These guys are nasty, opportunistic, and hard to kill. For more info on the ISPOT Lyme test, co-infection testing, and more, watch Cellular Healing TV episode 72. Lyme is a stealthy, intelligent survivor that can morph and switch from a spirochete form, which can drill deep into your tissues, to a cyst that drugs and herbs can’t kill. And if it were not hard enough to kill, it will hide and protect itself from the immune system by co-habiting in and around mercury. I’ve always said that I could never get rid of my candida until I got my metal levels down to a certain point; this is also the case with Lyme. Many people do not get well after Lyme treatment years because they do not address the heavy metals issue or do it correctly. PompaCore Cellular Detox™ must be a part of detoxing infections like these from the body, or you will not get well.

Very Important

If one of the “big boy” sources of toxicity is not detected and removed, what I call the three amigos (metals, mold, and infection) will never be a lasting solution to a health challenge. When the source of illness remains, i.e., someone is ill yet continues to live in a moldy home, the individual will never fully recover regardless of diet and lifestyle changes. Only when the interference has been removed can the body’s innate intelligence execute the healing. Once external toxins have been eliminated as much as possible, internal toxins that have bio-accumulated overtime must be removed as well. As stated and emphasized, most cleanses fail to remove toxins at the cellular level. I overhear conversations and have had many myself, with people who recognize the need for detox and wish to do a “cleanse” in attempts to feel better. But does it make logical sense that in 10 days, you can remove what took 20-30 years to accumulate? And what about the issue of using a downstream approach without incorporating true binding agents? These points are rarely considered. True detox is no quick fix; it takes time and massive effort but is transformational. This is why the clients of the doctors I train and myself teach the process: so people can move forward with the knowledge and information needed to stay the course for an appropriate amount of time. As stated, I have nothing against coffee enemas, colon cleanses, or some of the other herbals cleanse out there; however, they are all too far downstream to have a lasting impact. Remember, you must get to the cell to get well.

Are You Looking for Help?

If you are reading this and have many of the symptoms I discuss relating to neurotoxic illness, hormone imbalance, autoimmune, or other unexplainable illnesses, you will need a practitioner to coach you through the process. This is why I have trained doctors around the country and even offer virtual coaching for those in areas we do not have a trained practitioner (for more information on working with a trained practitioner, call my office at 800-833-2941 or search for a trained PompaCore Cellular Detox™ office by zip code). Granted, some just want to be healthier and could utilize the Core Cellular formulas based on the 5R’s, support some of the main downstream detox pathways, and utilize the true binders mentioned in this article for a few cycles and improve their health. I still personally do PompaCore Cellular Detox™ several times a year to maintain my health. I always tell my wife, “I can never go back,” meaning I will never let myself get sick ever again. Real detox at the cellular level is the key, especially for someone with my genetically poor detox pathways.

PompaCore Cellular Detox™ Part 1: Applying the 5R's

Within PompaCore Cellular Detox™, I always use my 5R’s as the roadmap, and these principles remain the foundation of my approach to fixing the cell. PompaCore Cellular Detox™, and the 5R’s within it, is not a product but a clinically proven strategy that has helped thousands get their lives back after mainstream medicine has failed them. The process is not a quick-fix band-aid but rather a guide for doctors and their patients to understand how to support all health challenges. The following steps are often addressed simultaneously, but it depends on the case. The goal is not to focus on a specific condition but to fully support the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. I believe God gave the concepts of PompaCore Cellular Detox™ and the 5R’s to me, and I’m blessed to share the information with those who are struggling and living without answers. Here’s a quick review of the 5R’s of PompaCore Cellular Detox and Healing™ (please see links to individual articles for more extensive information and my personal stories): R1: Remove the Source My protocol for each client begins by determining which sources of stress are causing body-wide damage and removing them as soon as possible. R1 removes the toxic source accumulated over time in the body; it’s truly what PompaCore Cellular Detox™ is all about. I would have never recovered my health had I not removed my mercury amalgam fillings (but removal MUST be performed properly or detox becomes dangerous, read my series on safe detox here: Part 1Part 2, and Part 3). Most allopathic doctors cover symptoms with medications, while alternative practitioners do the same with supplements. Neither approach gets people truly well. Getting “knee to knee” with clients and digging deep into their health history is key to figuring out what caused the sickness. Toxic stressors quickly shut down detox pathways and allow other toxins to bio-accumulate. These typically include the three amigos: biotoxins from mold and Lyme disease, infections, and heavy metals like lead and mercury. For more info, read the complete R1 article here. R2: Regenerate the Cell Membrane
Because the cell membrane holds the cell's intelligence and plays a major role in detox, turning genes on and off, and regulating hormones, regenerating the membrane is at the core of a solution to the growing number of unexplainable symptoms and degenerative diseases seen today in epidemic proportions. In healthy individuals, the supple lipid bilayer of the membrane allows nutrients to flow inside easily and toxins and free radicals to leave unimpeded. If inflamed, nothing can come in and out, so the cell becomes a toxic wasteland, and illness results. The membrane must be regenerated for detoxification to occur and elicit body-wide healing. For more info, read the complete R2 article here. R3: Restore Cellular Energy
Cellular energy is the gasoline of the cell, and nothing runs or functions without it. As nutrients flow into the cell, they feed the powerhouse called mitochondria, the cellular structures which produce ATP (aka cellular energy). Without adequate production of ATP, cells are unable to detoxify or regenerate properly. What’s more, the lower your ATP, the more inflammation is occurring at the cellular level. Individuals lacking ATP have become an epidemic in America and suffer from fatigue, brain fogdigestive problems, and hormone conditions. Without raising cellular ATP, symptoms will not be impacted by treatments. For more info, read the complete R3 article here. R4: Reduce Cellular Inflammation
Systemic cellular inflammation drives the epidemic of chronic diseases and hormone conditions so pervasive in our culture today. Specifically, I am referring to inflammation of the cell membrane that affects the way the cell communicates, detoxes, and ultimately changes gene expression, which can trigger a disease of genetic weakness. Understanding how inflammation affects the cell and downregulating it is essential to get almost any condition. Unfortunately, most health practitioners do not keep up with the exciting research in inflammation, detox, or gene expression, which would dramatically change their clients’ results. Top inflammation sources include dietary sugars and grains (strategy #1), bad fats, biotoxins, and toxins from mercury fillingsGMOs, and others. For more info, read the complete R4 article here.
R5: Re-Establish Methylation
Methylation is a biochemical process that affects many essential body functions, including DNA repair, detoxification, fighting infections, removing environmental toxins such as lead and estrogen, and more processes we’re only beginning to understand. The body needs methylation to regulate stress hormones, and when unable to methylated, it remains in a state of constant stress. Methyl groups are needed to turn on the stress response, but they are also needed to turn it off. Therefore, if methyl groups are lacking, a greater opportunity is created for toxins, inflammation, and other stressors to trigger bad genes. A toxic diet, lifestyle, and various stressors (whether chemical, physical, or emotional) can turn on bad genes by depleting methylation. On the other hand, a healthy lifestyle, clean diet and environment, and properly restored methylation can turn off a bad gene. Hence, our DNA is no longer our destiny. For more info, read the complete R5 article here.
As you can see, the 5R’s act as a guide to fixing the cell. But you mustn’t stop here to achieve successful detox and restored health. Read on to understand the next component of the process of getting your life back.

PompaCore Cellular Detox™ Part 2: Opening and Supporting Critical Detox Pathways

While gently applying the 5R’s to support the cellular pathways, it is just as important to start to open up the downstream detox pathways such as the lymphatic system, kidneys, liver, and gut before true binders are ever used. Just as there are three parts to PompaCore Cellular Detox™, there are three phases as well. First, there is a 1-2 month “prep phase” for detox pathways at the cell and downstream, where the goal is to simply start supporting the cell function (via the 5R’s) and not push to the point of detox until the pathways are strengthened. Even after the prep phase, it is important to note that the cellular pathways and the downstream pathways need to be supported throughout every phase. After the 1-2 months of the prep phase, we move into a “body phase,” that typically lasts 3-4 months, and finally, the most important phase of all: the “brain phase.” As stated, some typical types of cleanses, such as colon cleanses or coffee enemas, can be helpful in the later phases of detox (body phase and brain phase) to keep the toxins moving out of the body and not backing up, causing unwanted symptoms. A simple cleanse like this can be useful before or during PompaCore Cellular Detox™, but if you end there, you will never make it to where the true problem exists.

The Downstream Pathways

The lymphatic system is part of our circulatory and immune systems, made up of lymphatic vessels that make and move lymph fluid from tissues to the bloodstream. The body’s ability to detox begins with the lymphatic system, which helps clear the blood of toxins and takes stress off the other detox pathways by moving toxins further downstream for removal. Interestingly, the largest lymph tissue concentration surrounds the gut, so a properly functioning digestive system is critical to lymphatic health and successful detox. A Far Infrared sauna is a potent detox tool and can open up the skin detox pathway and take a lot of toxic stress from the lymph. (to read more about FIR benefits and my personal sauna detox protocol, click here). Another great lymph support is the ancient practice of dry brushing. To do it, simply buy a coarse bristle brush and firmly brush the skin towards the heart (avoid sensitive areas). I’ve found it’s convenient to dry brush in the shower stall before showering. Other ideas include rebounding, yoga, lymphatic drainage massage, deep breathing, and high-quality supplementation. The kidneys play a vital role in detox by extracting waste from our blood, balancing our body fluids, and forming urine to excrete toxic waste. Key kidney support tactics include supplemental support. Avoiding excess protein and consuming lots of pure water and potassium-rich foods like citrus fruits and grass-fed yogurts. Whey water, one of my favorite beverages and a tool I use for fasting, contains water, potassium, and sodium to support the kidneys via hydration and the removal of cellular waste. Drinking whey water daily will profoundly support your kidneys (and other detox organs as well) to start flushing out toxic waste. The liver is our greatest detox organ and so must be attended to during any type of detox. To open and support the liver during PompaCore Cellular Detox™, I recommend coffee enemas at times to push out bile from a toxic liver. One of the functions of the liver is to make bile, a fluid that aids in digestion. Without bile, our liver could not absorb nutrients nor remove toxins. However, when the liver is congested and over-taxed, the toxic bile gets trapped. When I like to use coffee enemas or a coffee enema in a suppository form, I like to support the liver in removing the toxic bile. Other ways to support the liver during detox include liver support supplements, herbs like milk thistle, dandelion tea, and by consuming lots of leafy green vegetables. The fastest way to heal the gut, which I’ve written about many times, including Strategy #3, is through fasting. There is simply a no better and more efficient way to downregulate inflammation and heal a leaky gut. Fasting, typically on pure water, probiotic whey water, or broth made from the bones of 100% grass-fed cows, gives the gut a much-needed break from digesting food so it can heal and seal damaged intestinal lining. I intermittent fast daily and include fasting in most of my protocols because of the dramatic results it provides, like accelerated gut healing, weight-loss, improved immunity, and generalized cellular regeneration. Adding in other downstream strategies is beneficial because the more you do to support your body, the better and faster you will get results. Practices include:
  • Following the Cellular Healing Diet, avoiding grains, sugars, and GMOs
  • Consuming plenty of fermented foods, such as cultured dairy and sauerkraut
  • Oil pulling (try it during shower time)
  • Drinking plenty of pure water
  • Taking therapeutic grade supplements (here’s an article on common vitamin deficiencies to get started).
  • Spending time in nature to regulate circadian rhythms and optimize vitamin D levels.
  • Getting regular chiropractic care and bodywork.
  • Maintaining a spiritual practice embracing daily prayer, meditation, and relaxation.
  • Moving your body each day and using burst training for weight-loss and anti-aging.
  • Sleeping deeply. Especially needed during the healing process, its impact on health cannot be overstated.
Next, I’ll explain the third component of the process of successful detox. Once the 5R’s are working to fix the cell and detox pathways are open and supported, ensuring that toxins are moved out of the body is essential to getting real results.

PompaCore Cellular Detox™ Part 3: Using True Binding Agents to Remove Toxins

I have done many articles and videos on PompaCore Cellular Detox™ and the 5R’s; however, perhaps the part of the process I speak the least about is using true binding agents. Not because it is any less important, but because this is where most practitioners really can cause harm. This is the step that makes it all work and come together. From beginning to end, there is a preparation phase (as noted in Part 2), a body phase, and a brain phase. The preparation phase of cellular detox pathways, as well downstream pathways, lasts about 4-6 weeks, and some support thereafter is also needed at times. The next phase (the body phase) is when the true binders are incorporated, and they are cycled in a 4-7 day “ON cycle” (when you take the binders) followed by a 7-10 day “OFF cycle” (when no binders are taken). The first 3-4 months' goal is to clear the body to set up a concentration gradient from the deeper tissues such as the brain. This is why I refer to it as the body phase. But the brain phase is where the magic happens. Eventually applying this process to the brain utilizing fat-soluble detox agents with a molecular clinoptilolite particle called CytoDetox™ (that not only crosses into the cell but into the brain), is truly a God-given gift to those crying out for answers. Removing neurotoxins that have bio-accumulated in the brain over the years is the key to why so many people have unexplainable symptoms, illnesses and “have tried everything” and still don’t feel well. It is also an answer for the hormone havoc epidemic that exists today, even in our children. Remove the interference, and the body will do the healing: this is where true hope lies, not in man’s manufactured chemicals. Most practitioners do not get to the cellular level of detox and rarely get upstream to detox the brain. Yet this is what it takes to allow the body to really heal. Remember, it is not the doctor but the body that does the healing: the healing comes from an innate intelligence that God put in the cell directed by the brain and nervous system. Any detox program short of this is not lasting. Furthermore, preventing re-tox, or autointoxication, throughout the entire process is a must. Most of the toxins are brought from the cell to the liver and dumped into the gut. Once in the gut, toxins must be transported out of the body not to be reabsorbed. Autointoxication causes dangerous symptoms and remains a common occurrence in most downstream detox programs, another reason that using true binders during detox is critical to get results safely. Again, health will only return once cellular functions are improved via the 5R’s, and real detox agents (that actually have the ability to pull toxins from the cell) are used to avoid toxin redistribution. This is how I got my life back, and now thousands of others, thanks to the growing number of doctors trained in PompaCore Cellular Detox™ around the country. I didn’t have the game-changing addition of the true binding agent called CytoDetox™ when I was detoxing. I believe the time it took me to detox will be cut in half for those who use this product. It is truly an amazing particle, and when combined with the cellular products and fat-soluble binders, a level of detox can be reached that was not possible until now. This is a fascinating time in cellular detox and what I believe will be looked back upon as a tipping point in detox healing.

The Multi Therapeutic Approach (MTA) and Bringing it All Together

Over the years, I’ve observed that it typically requires a Multi Therapeutic Approach (MTA) approach to achieve real improvements in health, especially if you’ve been suffering from a chronic condition and toxicity challenges for a long time. I know from personal experience and testimonials from those I coach that my top 5 strategies truly impact. The PompaCore Cellular Detox™ concept and the CytoDetox™ drops are both game-changers. Add in my other top 4 health strategies, and life can really transform. Each strategy has a powerful stand-alone effect, but the magic lies in the synergy of incorporating multiple strategies, which ignite massive change at the cellular level. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, improve brain function, or balance your hormones, PompaCore Cellular Detox™ needs to take place to see results. Also, fasting, burst training, controlling blood sugar, and diet variation work perfectly together to encourage the body’s innate healing systems to jump into action. It takes resolute effort to stay the course to properly detox and heal your cells, but the rewards of energy, vitality, mental clarity and physical fitness are so worth it. The important life lessons often need to be heard repeatedly until we “get it” and make the changes to live our healthiest lives and positively impact the world. Keep reading, researching, and relentlessly seeking the truth. Let me know what you think as you experiment with these powerful cellular healing tools, and remember for best results… GO 180°!

Key Takeaways for PompaCore Cellular Detox™:

  1. Use my 5R’s of PompaCore Cellular Detox and Healing™ as a roadmap to fixing the cell: Remove the source (R1) of toxicity and let the body execute the healing; Add quality fats to your diet to support the regeneration of the cellular membrane (R2) and help to balance hormones; Increase ATP (R3) via mitochondrial biogenesis to improve cellular function; Decrease chronic inflammation (R4) by dropping sugars (including grains) and bad fats from your diet and removing environmental and emotional toxins as much as possible; Re-establish methylation (R5) to support and control epigenetic gene regulation and prevent disease.
  2. Throughout the detox process, open up and continue to support detox pathways, like the lymph, gut, liver, and kidneys. Probiotics, fermented foods, coffee enemas, dry brushing, and fasting are helpful.
  3. Incorporate true binding agents to remove toxins from the cell. CytoDetox™ drops bypass the cell membrane to remove toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, and biotoxins like mold and Lyme. Most importantly, the drops also cross the blood-brain barrier to remove toxins from the brain.
  4. Employ a Multi Therapeutic Approach (MTA). Incorporate the other 4 top health strategies: #1 Control Blood Sugar; #2 Diet Variation; #3 Intermittent Fasting; #4 Burst Training. Try burst training in the morning on an empty stomach (#3 and #4), follow the Cellular Healing Diet, and mix it up by experimenting with the ketogenic diet (#1 and #2).
  5. Include other downstream modalities to support and accelerate cellular healing, such as prayer and meditation, chiropractic care and bodywork, time spent in nature, daily movement, and quality sleep.
  6. Get tested. If you think something is amiss, there probably is. Find a practitioner trained in functional medicine and cellular healing who can run the right tests to determine your illness's source and support you on the path to recovery.

Stem Cell Therapy for Neurodegenerative Conditions

Stem Cell Therapy
My favorite, most cutting edge topics are stem cells, and stem cell therapy. In case you missed Episode 220 of Cellular Healing TV, I interviewed Dr. Harry Adelson on Stem cell therapy for pain, shared my personal experience with the full body stem cell makeover, and my wife Merily’s stem cell vampire facial. In this particular episode, I interviewed Dr. Ernesto Gutierrez, a Regenerative Medicine Physician in Mexico, who is doing some amazing, cutting edge work with stem cells. We dove way beyond pain here, and discussed the benefits of stem cell therapy for all types of autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions.

Dr. Gutierrez developed a specific stem cell therapy protocol for his patients with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, and many other autoimmune disorders. In one of his clinics, he deals exclusively with patients who have autism and cerebral palsy. Dr. Gutierrez has treated close to 500 patients now with this protocol, and stated his team is seeing some very positive outcomes.

What are stem cells and how do they function in the body?

According to Dr. Gutierrez, stem cells are the most basic level of a cell. They have two simple characteristics. One is that they can replicate or self-renew. From one cell, you get two and you get four and you get eight identical cells. The second characteristic is that they can differentiate, which basically means stem cells can become different tissues. This is where the name stem comes from. The stem can branch out into different specific tissues. Stem cells can turn into blood, bone, muscles, nerves, and neurons. We all started at conception as being one cell, and we branched out and grew. However1, more studies are focusing on the effect stem cells have on stimulating the body to produce its own stem cell activity. This is called a “paracrine effect.”

Newer studies have shown that stem cells do not stay around in the tissue as long as they once thought. This lead scientist to lean more towards the paracrine effect being where most of the healing is derived. Stem cells (mesenchymal cells) secrete a spectrum of paracrine factors, collectively termed as ‘secretome’, consisting of various proteins for diverse biological functions. Some of these functions include immune system regulation, angiogenesis (makes new arteries), protects and makes new cells, antioxidant effects, the promotion of your own stem cells, and even telling them what cells to become2.

The future of Stem Cell Therapy

Part of the paracrine effect are from small (100nm) cellular vesicles called exosomes. These exosomes act as the communication bubbles from stem cells to your own cells to start the healing. These exosomes have some advantages over stem cells. First off, they are not cells but only carry the information of healing, so they are more stable. Exosomes do not need to be harvested from your body.  This means it is easier to just go in, get the injection and leave. Exosomes are considered very safe ,and (new studies are showing) more effective. They are very small in size, allowing them to cross into the brain and other deep tissue. This creates an excitement regarding brain related conditions. Exosomes even can regulate and change genes from bad to good, which is known as epigenetics. This effect could be why it is showing promise in autoimmune3.

Gutierrez suggests, “We used to believe that the stem cells would go to a specific injury site and would differentiate and become cartilage or bone or muscle or whatever tissue was damaged. Now we know that very minute percentage of cells that actually remain in the body after maybe 10 to 14 days.”

The rest of the stem cells actually go into the body and start releasing exosomes and cytokines, anti and pro-inflammatory markers, and that is how the immune system repairs and rebalances. This is why it is called Regenerative Medicine. Stem cells do not replace, rather, they go in and promote your body to do the work of replacing its own tissues.

During my procedure, I had exosomes along with my own stem cells injected in my bad disc and every vertebral level of my spine. I also had exosomes injected into my knees, elbows, and face and did an IV of exosomes after a 6 day fast for maximizing their results. This has turned back the clock for my joints, and helped heal my past injuries. We lose these precious stem cells as we age. We stop healing at the same rate we use to, and this is due to a decrease in viable stem cells.

Stem Cell Therapy and Aging

As we age, both the quantity and the quality of the stem cells that remain in our bone marrow and our different tissues starts decreasing exponentially. There are several influences on this, such as our nutrition, our environment (toxins), our work, our stress levels, and our sleep to name a few. In my practice, I deal with very toxic people, and stem cells get destroyed. In order to grow new stem cells, we utilize many of my Ancient Healing Strategies such as fasting to facilitate stem cell growth.

The stem cells can only potentiate whatever the individual is already doing. People who commit to following a healthier lifestyle through my Multi-therapeutic approach, tend to benefit the most from these stem cells. These people are going to see benefits much quicker and much more evidently than (for example)  a high-performance athlete who has taken pristine care of his body and he's in his mid-20s. These aging people, typically in their 50’s and up, who have been dragging and doing all these bad things to their body are going to feel like a million dollars afterwards!

For younger patients (such as children with autism) who have not been exposed to as many years of environmental toxins, Dr. Gutierrez utilizes the patient’s own cells with less rejection and great results. However, for the older individuals who have been exposed to years of toxins and looking for ‘anti-aging’ he finds the best results with donated younger stem cells. Gutierrez finds that these younger donated stem cells work best for inflammatory conditions and neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus.

Harvesting Natural Killer Cells for Autoimmunity

Gutierrez and his team are also banking and harvesting natural killer cells from peripheral blood. From a blood draw, the process and can back and harvest your own natural killer cells and those are even better at rebooting your immune system and giving you all these longevity benefits.

In the U.S. we can legally get them banked. However, they still cannot legally be injected. Gutierrez has people come down to Mexico, they get an infusion of their own NK (natural killer) cells.

“The difference is noticeable with the natural killer cells. It's this big boost of energy of … I don't know how to explain it because like I said, I don't have a specific diagnosis that I was treating, but you do feel this boost especially if you have someone or if you have a family history of certain cancers and you want to prepare yourself, it's a great idea to bank yourselves in advance so that if you do develop cancer down the road, you can get your own personalized infusion, of your own healthy NK cells.”

These natural killer cells might also prove to be promising for cancer and lyme disease. Gutierrez suggests harvesting and banking them so if any of these conditions arrive, you have the killer cells ready. Whereas it’s more difficult to harvest them from people who already have lyme.

I’m very excited about harvesting these killer cells and look forward to harvesting and utilizing my own natural killer cells for my next stem cell therapy treatment!

Regenerative Medicine For Neurodegenerative Conditions: The Future Paradigm for Wellness

Dr. Gutierrez makes it clear that the process of getting stem cells is very comprehensive. People travel from all over the world. “We've had families from Australia, we've had families from South Africa.” These people are evaluated remotely with full a chemistry panel, a bone marrow aspirate is done to promote more stem cells being produced in the marrow (something that cannot be done legally yet in the US). He creates an infusion with cerebrospinal fluid, and there are multiple days of IV injections that take place. In order to reach the brain tissue for these neurological conditions, Gutierrez deposits these stem cells around the brain and brainstem.

With many of these neurological conditions, Dr. Gutierrez reminds us that the process is long and slow. Often there is an initial improvement and then the disease progresses again. The healing process waxes and wanes. It is important to understand that with many of these conditions, if we achieve slowing down the progression of the disease, even temporarily, this is considered to be a big win.

Stem Cell Therapy is Not a Secret Formula

Dr. Gutierrez reminds us that IV stem cell therapy and stem cell injections are not some ‘secret formula’. It is something that pretty much anyone could be doing, especially if we get to a point where FDA approves this in the U.S. He reminds us that he is not doing this work to steal work from doctors. Like myself, Dr. Gutierrez truly believes in what he does, sees the amazing results yielded, and wants to help as many people as possible. He has plans to start training doctors all over the world, and I am excited to be a part of this. I’m just as excited as well to share this cutting edge modality with my doctors, which complements my cellular healing and detox protocols so well.

Stem cell therapy is something done in addition to following my multi-therapeutic approach to healing. I've been amazingly successful at treating these types of neurological conditions in my own practice. My brain detox that I teach doctors around the country has been unbelievable. I’ve worked with children with autism, older people with dementia, and even neurodegenerative cases with remarkable results. I believe that putting these two things together (removing the toxins and utilizing the stem cells) would continue to drive healing, and possibly remission in many cases. Regenerative Medicine is the future of medicine. This is truly next level, and I am just thrilled to be a part of this exciting time!

The Principles of Stemnomics: An Introduction to An Emerging Field

The Principles of Stemnomics: I would like to introduce you to Stemnomics. This modern concept harnesses ancient wisdom to enhance the production and utilization of stem cells in your body. In an ever-evolving world, it can be difficult to express ourselves with a stagnant language. I’ve developed Stemnomics as a way to discuss the emerging field focused on maximizing our ability to produce and use these incredible powerhouses to not only survive but to thrive.

stemnomics

It has become my life’s mission to empower individuals with information, all of which is rooted in my personal health journey and transformation. The principles of Stemnomics are the culmination of my life’s work, all rooted in the ancient wisdom of our ancestors.

Let The Body Do The Healing: Stem Cells 101

My core philosophy is to remove the interference and let the body do the healing, and the principles of Stemnomics hinge on this same principle. Stem cells are the seeds of all biological life. All human life begins with a single stem cell, which then multiplies exponentially to eventually give rise to trillions of cells and form every system in the body. These cells are like a blank canvass that the body can use as needed to create or repair the body. A stem cell can turn into a specialized cell (brain, heart, lung, etc.) to repair or regenerate our organs. This repair becomes increasingly vital as we age. Although our body continuously needs the support of stem cells, many factors contribute to the depletion of our reserve.

My core philosophy is to remove the interference and let the body do the healing. The principles of Stemnomics hinge on this same principle: boosting the body’s ability to create and use stem cells and allow the body to use them as needed.

Stemnomics: A Multi-Therapeutic Approach

Stemnomics is the field that harnesses the power of stem cells through the use of therapeutic strategies. It’s the method I use not only to help my clients, but also my family and my self—to support the body’s innate intelligence by maximizing endogenous stem cell production.

These strategies revolve around manipulating your diet (what you eat, and when you eat it), and focus on intermittent fasting, ketosis (fat-adaptation), diet variation (feast/ famine cycling), and prolonged water fasting (5+ days).

Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent Fasting is an eating pattern that restricts food consumption to a shortened window of time each day to allow for a period of extended fasting. It is the one aspect of our Stemnomic principles that address when you eat, as opposed to what you eat. The benefits of intermittent fasting begin around the 12-hour mark, but as metabolic flexibility increases, the window can increase to 16, 18, or even 20 hours of daily fasting. Some people progress to one single (substantial) meal per day.

Intermittent fasting improves hormone sensitivity, fat-burning ability, boost growth hormones, and harness the benefits of autophagy, which include longevity, downregulation of inflammation, and the production of new stem cells and new immune cells.

Ketosis: the ketogenic diet is a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate way of eating.

Eating this way over a prolonged period puts your body into what we call ‘ketosis,’ when fat (as opposed to glucose) becomes the primary source of fuel.

Ketosis is a fundamental component of Stemnomics. It promotes similar autophagy benefits that prolonged water fasting does. Both methods force the body to burn fat for fuel; secondly, because it opens the door for diet variation (see below), and thirdly because it prepares the body for longer fasts (particularly when combined with IF).

Diet Variation:

The Diet Variation component of Stemnomics is the missing piece for many people who are currently on a full-time ketogenic diet; it involves the introduction of high carb days and day(s) of total fasting. This aspect is crucial to get the most out of the program because periods of feasting creates adaptive stress, which increases hormone optimization, fat adaptation, autophagy, and stem cell production.

Going back and forth between fast days and feast days is the key because the body is allowed to experience the autophagy pathway (that is used for recycling) and the mTor pathway (used for regeneration/ growth). The feast days are not only there to keep you on track with your plan (although it does do so as a bonus side effect), but it is essential to remind the body that it is not starving. A long term keto-only diet will eventually plateau and even begin to regress in progress (slowing down your metabolism, putting on belly fat, etc.).

Diet variation can be implemented in multiple different ways. Weekly variations could include four days of a ketogenic diet, two days higher carb/ protein, and one-day water fasting, or 3-2-2 (respectively). Monthly variation can work well for women, who have higher carbohydrate cravings during their menstrual cycle. It can keep keto most of the month, introducing a higher carb diet for the week surrounding their cycle. Seasonal variation is the most natural ancestrally, whereby winter would follow a more ketogenic diet, and summer a higher carb diet.

Incorporating diet variation into your life is a deeply personal choice. It should reflect a pattern that is easiest to incorporate into your everyday life so that you can maintain it in the long run. In my household, we like weekly variation with feast days on the weekends.

Prolonged Water Fasting:

A 5+ day water fast is the peak of this mission to maximize stem cell production, in that it is the most powerful way to support the body’s ability to create them, and heal. The use of intermittent fasting, ketosis, and diet variation are all strategies that increase the body’s metabolic flexibility and health in preparation for a prolonged fast.

Fasting is the oldest and most potent ancient healing modality, and indeed for good reasons. Recent research shows that fasting for seventy-two hours can regenerate the entire immune system! One way it does this is by raising stem cells that turn into new and improved immune cells. These new healthy cells replace old and dysfunctional cells in the body. These dysfunctional cells that are destroyed through autophagy during a fast are the ones that can lead to disease, hyper immunity, autoimmunity, and cancer.

All these therapeutic strategies come together to form the emerging field of Stemnomics, used strategically to promote the body’s own ability to create and use stem cells.

You’ve heard the buzz about stem cells and anti-aging therapies.

But unless you’re a pro athlete, actor, celebrity or multi-millionaire… it’s not easy to take a week off from work and spend tens of thousands of dollars. Luckily, you don’t have to. There’s a way to tap into the same power as high-end stem cell and anti-aging therapies, for pennies on the dollar, right from the comfort of your own home.

>> And it’s all revealed to you in this exclusive 7-week anti-aging program (available at 85% off) when you buy today.

This guide will help you get all the benefits of these high-end anti-aging modalities—simply by using powerful fasting, nutritional, and dietary changes.

It’s a workbook and doctor-formulated protocol designed to help you:

  • Remove the toxins that are speeding up your aging process…
  • Leverage fasting to help you shed weight, renew your cells and feel years younger (even if fasting scares you—this guide makes it easy!)
