5R’s of PompaCore Cellular Detox and Healing

In this day and age, as toxins pile up in our environment and we are exposed to an unimaginable avalanche of chemicals, EMF’s, food additives, GMO’s and the like, many of us are facing unexplainable health challenges. We go from doctor to doctor, searching for answers to relieve our many uncomfortable symptoms, only to be handed a prescription for medication or told that there is nothing array. What is going wrong?

Having faced my own serious health crisis, I came to realize that the only way out of the maze of these “new millennium diseases” is what I call TRUE CELLULAR HEALING™. When I was ill, many of the doctors I contacted couldn’t explain what was wrong with me, which was devastating. I realized that understanding my disease process's workings empowered ME to take responsibility and seek out the information I needed to unwind the mess that existed at the cellular level. We must educate ourselves and understand what is at the root cause of our illness. We must understand what is going wrong at the cellular level and become educated on “cellular failure.” Remember: education is power.

That being said, we need a road map to a new paradigm of healing. I have labeled mine the 5R’s OF CELLULAR DETOXIFICATION AND REGENERATION. Although I don’t expect you to become your own doctor (that is my job), I want you to understand these healing principles. When I was gravely ill, this knowledge gave me hope because it not only explained how I got so sick but how my body could heal itself if I followed these steps.

THE 5R's of CELLULAR HEALING:

R#1: REMOVE THE SOURCE

We need to determine which toxic sources (heavy metals, biotoxins, environmental toxins, and/or toxins inside your home) are causing body-wide damage. When identified, these sources can then be safely ushered out of the body using my crafted protocols.

R#2: REGENERATE THE INNER AND OUTER CELL MEMBRANE

In healthy individuals, the supple bi-lipid fat layer of the cellular membrane allows both nutrients to flow inside easily and toxins and free radicals inside the cell to leave unimpeded. If inflamed, nothing can come in, and nothing can come out, so our cell becomes a toxic wasteland. Inflammation can also compromise our cell’s ability to function properly and truncates our ability to “hear” the hormonal impressions through the hormone receptors that reside on the outside of the cellular membrane.

R#3: RESTORE CELLULAR ENERGY

As nutrients flow into the cell, they feed the mitochondria's powerhouse, which produces ATP (energy). Without adequate production of ATP, our cells are unable to detoxify or regenerate properly.

R#4: REDUCE INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN THE CELL 

Toxic inflammation is produced from 3 main sources: overconsumption of refined sugar and grains, bad fats and toxins from food sources, cosmetics, air pollution, toxic cleaning products, and more. Needless to say, inflammation and oxidative stress can wreak havoc and is the root cause of all disease processes that we see in our office.

R#5: RE-ESTABLISH METHYLATION

Because the body needs methyl groups to turn stress hormones on and off, our body stays in a constant state of stress if depleted. Besides, if our methyl groups are non-existent or in short supply, the important roles they play in detoxification, DNA protection, hormone metabolism, and epigenetics cannot be performed.

The Bottom Line: IF YOU DON’T FIX THE CELL, YOU WON’T GET WELL!

The 5R's give us important answers to our diagnosed or unexplainable illnesses. When understood, you are more educated on the cell's workings than most doctors in this country. Now, when you are given my protocols, you will have a base understanding of the “why’s” and “how” of how your body can heal itself. As we journey on, I continue to trust God for more pieces of the puzzle and thank HIM for what HE has given us. Let us join forces together, patient and doctor, to halt this deadly epidemic of 21st Century diseases. I look forward to working with you, sharing my protocols, and giving you the tools you need to unwind your suffering. May God light your path.

Going Grass-Fed: You Are What You Eat, Eats

Eating meat is a hot topic. Some people are vehemently against eating meat, believing it is the cause of many of the health issues we see today. Others claim it’s not the meat, but what we’ve done to it before it reaches our plates. To help get to the bottom of this debate, I recently sat down with Mike Salguero, the CEO of ButcherBox: the first delivery service dedicated to providing 100% natural grass-fed beef, organic chicken, and heritage pork to consumers. Mike explained what it means to have grass-fed beef, what “organic” and “natural” mean, and even the history behind why the meat that we have today is as it is.

The idea for ButcherBox was inspired by Mike’s wife. When she was pregnant with their first child in 2015, they wanted to eat the healthiest meat possible. Unfortunately, they had trouble finding 100% grass-fed beef. From there, the company started and now delivers natural, organic meats directly to consumer stores nationwide through a monthly subscription service. All their meats are from humanely raised animals, and are free of antibiotics, hormones, and GMOs. The mission of the company is to make natural organic meats available to everyone.

Why Grass-Fed?

The first thing I asked Mike was “why;” Why did he insist on grass-fed beef for his pregnant wife? He explained…

“…My wife has a thyroid condition. It’s an autoimmune disorder. We were looking at ways to help manage that. She did a bunch of elimination diets, and Whole30, and stuff like that to start eating better. In virtually every single of one those diets, they say eat grass-fed beef, eat pasture-raised meats, so we started looking for it. Lo and behold, it was really hard to find.

“…I ended up buying a cow share from a farmer in New York, about a three-hour drive from here, who would bring over basically a trash bag full of meat and I would stuff it in my freezer and that would be our meat.

“Did that for a few years, and in the process, really just realized this is—first of all, the meat is incredible. It’s way healthier, but it’s really just not a great experience for me to have to go pick up a trash bag full of meat. This would be so much better if it was delivered directly to my door.”

It’s important for people to know the benefits of eating grass-fed beef as opposed to eating the meat of cattle fed grains. There’s health benefits in terms of more vitamins, better fats, which people prefer when comparing them side by side. Another aspect that doesn’t get discussed is the environmental side. For example, a grass field is a carbon sink. That means it helps decrease the effects of the emissions that are associated with animals.

With grain fed cattle, the health of the animal isn’t a top priority; getting it as fat as possible in the quickest amount of time is the focus. After spending the first six months of life with its mother, the calf then goes to a feedlot, where it spends six months on a diet of corn, grains, antibiotics and hormones. It is held with thousands of other animals in what called a concentrated feeding operation.

We know the dangers of these antibiotics, pesticides, and hormones. I believe some of the “mystery diseases” we experience today are linked to what is done to our food. In other words, grain-fed cows are generally given a diet of antibiotics and hormones to try to keep them healthy, and put on a ton of weight, while grass-fed animals are simply eating grass, living life as nature intended.

Mike brought up a good point during the interview:

“It’s not very hard to understand, first of all, why feeding something foreign to the animal is not necessarily good, why putting on a bunch of fat that’s just from carbohydrates…being in that type of environment around all these other cows, and all that stuff comes to you. We’re really big believers in animal welfare. We’re really big believers in providing a great quality product to our customer. It’s just not there when you’re buying something directly from a feedlot.”

I often talk about levels of chemicals on grains, in an attempt to bring awareness to the subject. When the animal eats grain to make one pound of beef, we must factor in the many acres of sprayed grains as well. Not to mention all the antibiotics, hormones and steroids that are now in the meat.

Therefore, my family and I avoid grain fed-meat. I’ve learned what happens when cows eat corn. It throws off these fatty acid ratios, which in turn disrupts cell membrane function. Even some of our food allergies can be linked to grain fed meat. And, if you don’t fix the cell membranes, you will never fix your hormone imbalance and other cellular health issues. You’ll struggle to turn off bad genes, and you’ll never detoxify a cell. Eating grain-fed meat destabilizes the cell membrane.

The transition from cows being fed meat to grains started in the 1950’s.

After World War II, our society had a “scarcity” mentality. As a result, our food system was industrialized. This is when cows started going from just eating grass to large feedlot operations

The feedlot came around in the ’50s and has grown ever since, with no signs of slowing down. It’s possible that 98% of the beef consumed in the United States is grain-fed.

It’s important to realize how much of our meat is grain fed, and why we should choose grass fed instead:

For starters, grass-fed meat contains conjugated linoleic acid. We need this to burn fat in our cells and to be a fat burner. Unfortunately, many people lack this conjugated linoleic acid in their diet, and it literally affects their cells’ ability to use fat as an energy source, promoting weight loss resistance. Cows eat grass, which contains vitamin K1, and transform it into vitamin K2. which is needed for strong bones, and used to utilize calcium, magnesium, and for our muscles to contract and for our heart to beat normally.

We’ve heard a lot about vitamin D and calcium, but we hear little about K2. I can tell you, there’s only a handful of vitamin deficiencies, and vitamin K2 is one of them. The reason is because humans today are eating grass-fed nothing. The best way to get K2 is by eating grass-fed animal products, whether you’re ingesting dairy or the meat or organs.

When it comes to eating grass-fed meat, I don’t think we should make exceptions, whenever possible. Mike feels the same way and has adopted certain standards:

“We have some pretty ironclad standards. First of all, there’s the standards of antibiotic and hormone free. We’re never-ever, which means any animal that is in our program has never ever been given an antibiotic or a hormone. Sometimes, companies say that but they don’t really mean it, like they could be fed an antibiotic early or they could be fed an antibiotic if they got sick but then they’re still in the program. For us, it’s a never-ever, so never an antibiotic, never a hormone.

“The farmers aren’t cruel to animals, so what they do is if an animal got sick, they’ll give them an antibiotic. They just will pull them from the program and they’ll go sell it somewhere else. We’re humanely raised everything, so they are humane certifications that you can get.”

Is it Really Grass-Fed?

While the public is slowly becoming aware of the dangers of grain-fed meat, it’s extremely important we understand how food companies are deceptive with advertising practices. Food companies are changing labels to confuse you. Some companies will say grass-fed, grain-finished and that’s similar to other meat that you can get, but at a higher cost. Then there’s grass-fed, grass-finished, which is essentially the same thing as 100% grass-fed. The challenge is the definition of grass-fed has changed.

So, if you’re a farmer in Vermont, there are months out of the year where your cow can’t eat grass, because there’s three feet of snow on the ground. What they do is they bring them into a barn and they feed them hay, also known as forage. This makes perfect sense, but what’s happened in the industry is the definition of “forage” has been broadened to include things like corn husks. That means it’s going to be GMO corn, because that’s what 99% of corn is these days. This situation creates an entirely new problem.

Refer here for more info on the hazards of eating grains to our health. Because of the tremendous amount of misinformation and deception, it’s difficult for people to purchase (and consume) food they can trust.

Issues with Chicken

Chicken is extremely popular here in the United States. Like beef, it can be difficult to find clean chicken. Mike had some interesting insights:

“…There are a lot of different ways you can raise chicken organically. Getting the certification is one thing, but then high humane standards and keeping those standards is really important.

“There was just an exposé of a chicken company that had the standards but wasn’t adhering to them whatsoever. (Read the story HERE1) Really, you need to work with companies that are going into the farms and making sure that they’re doing the right thing or working with farms that you know totally agree with that.

“We started with a pasture-raised program on our chickens but unfortunately, the majority of our customers didn’t want pasture-raised. We moved to organic and free-range organic and then tried to find the best possible chickens we could find, organic-plus, as I like to call it, but companies that are going above and beyond an organic certification.

“When something is certified organic, it does mean that it was fed organic grain, so that means the GMOs are out. Unfortunately, it also means that they’re importing the grain, which is kind of crazy. There’s not enough non-GMO grain in this country so they’re importing it. There’s processing and there’s density issues. You want to make sure that your chickens can live life the way that nature intended.

“The pasture-raised chicken, like I said, our customer didn’t really like that as the standard chicken in our box because pasture-raised is just very different chicken. It’s got smaller breasts; it’s got tougher legs. It’s just a different eating experience. We are looking into a few things on the chicken front. One is working with companies that are doing even more, pushing the envelope even further on the organic side. We’re also looking at pasture-raised chickens that taste more like what people are used to because there are some people doing some interesting stuff there. There’s also a whole conversation afoot on genetics of chickens.

“Basically, the chickens that are being raised now are—it’s not really a humane breed. They grow too fast; they can’t move around. People’s taste for chicken has gotten to the point where the chicken can’t really keep up and there’s a lot of work right now to try to change that within the industry.”

Chickens are scrappers. They eat bugs, seeds, roots. What makes this tricky is most people spray their fields, or put corn in their fields. We already know how hazardous those products can be, and chickens are consuming those things. Even when they are supposed to be organic or “clean.”

Mike’s chicken is organic and free-range. This means the chicken have access to the outdoors at any time.

Is Pork Safe to Eat?

Pork is another popular food in American culture. There is a lot of controversy about eating pork, but a few things have happened. First of all, pork is, in terms of humane treatment, the most important one to get right. When it comes to pigs, their brain, their emotions, the way that they work together…these animals are smarter than most people realize.

How pigs are raised is extremely important, and Mike agrees:

“Certified humane is incredibly important as is pasture-raised. Pigs are social creatures. They like to be around each other, but giving them pasture to walk around in is incredibly important. A lot of these concentrated feeding places are pig after pig, super small, crates, can’t turn around, dock their tail and it’s just an awful environment.

“It used to be that pigs were fatty, and that fat is really tasty and marbled. Then, for a few reasons, one being that lean meat is easier to more rapidly put on a pig, the other being that the taste or the consumer started looking for less fat. In the ’80s, low fat was the thing. All the pigs, all the fat got bred out of them.”

By changing the makeup of the pigs, we changed the taste, which does us all a disservice. Not only that, fat has a negative connotation in our society, but GOOD fat is really what our bodies need for good cellular health: I asked Mike “Do pigs eat their own waste?”

“I traveled in college and spent a summer in Ecuador on a farm, and I was the guy based out of the pen. They definitely do eat their waste when they’re penned. All I can say is I’ve never seen it; I don’t know, maybe? I’m not sure. I’ve been on a lot of pig farms; I’ve never seen a pasture-raised pig behave in that way.”

This makes sense to me. Cows are meant to only eat grass. When they eat things other than grass, it affects the meat in a negative way, which in turn affects the human eating it. It affects our cells.

Pigs (and chickens) are omnivorous and can eat a lot of different things. Arguably, then, they’re able to eat a variety and maintain healthy flesh, unlike a cow. If a chicken or a pig is eating sprayed grain, that’s not beneficial. If the animal is eating GMOs, it’s going to have unhealthy flesh.

Cows are designed to eat grass, and get all their nutrients just from grass. On the other hand, pigs can’t live on grains alone; they need other foods to get the nutrients they need. Pigs were basically domesticated, and lived close to villages historically, so they ate trash or scraps from the table, whereas cows were out in the field.

If you go back 500 years, domestication is one of the reasons pigs are so emotional and intelligent, and their jaws and organs look like humans. In high school, you dissect a pig because its organs look more like a human. The theory is that may have occurred over years of domestication. Pigs had to get smarter to know what to eat and not eat. Interesting stuff!

Cooking Tips

Mike has special tips for preparing grass-fed beef:

  • Cook steaks rare to medium rare (4 minutes on one side, 3 on the other)
  • Use your slow cooker to keep it juicy!

“…Grass-fed beef that comes out tougher is people don’t cook it for long enough. I think that’s for beef in general, but a lot of the cuts of beef you put it in your Instant Pot for a few hours, you put it in the Crock Pot all day, and just keep cooking it because it breaks everything down and you’re going to have a really, really amazing eating experience.

…My favorite recipe is beef short ribs. You just get short ribs, salt, tomato paste, a little red wine, cook it four or five hours at 225 and you’ve got amazing short ribs.”

Thanks to GMOs and pesticides, the foods we consume are more hazardous than ever to our cellular health. It’s critical we understand what happens to our food before it reaches our tables. You are what you eat, eats!

Many of the diseases we experience today are caused by the foods we eat on a regular basis. No amount of medicine will fix us if we never get to the source of the problem, which is at the cell. The foods we eat have a direct impact on our cellular health, and once we understand the correlation and make the necessary adjustments to our diets, we will be that much closer to optimizing cellular function. Fix the cell and get well!

Why Your Brain Quits Working

Are you noticing more days of foggy thinking, memory loss, lack of focus and concentration?  If the answer is yes, welcome to the fastest growing problem on the planet.  It is estimated that 35.6 million people are currently living with dementia worldwide, and that number will nearly double every 20 years, reaching 115.4 million in 2050(1).  This number does not include those walking around with “brain fog,” characterized by a clouding of consciousness, or those experiencing simple memory loss.  What is causing our brains to slow down or malfunction? Can we reboot our brains like our computers, or is there more to it?  If your idea of a reboot is taking fish oil, a one-a-day multivitamin, and “save your brain gingko combo,” then the answer is definitely NO. But fear not: new research shows there is a way to stop mind decline in its tracks. As always, however, what’s real and what works is not as simple as a couple pills.

Over the years, working with many types of neurodegenerative and brain related cases, I have found a handful of therapies that truly change lives.  As it turns out, the key is not utilizing just one or two of these therapies, but using all of them. This has been my experience, but studies are verifying these results using a similar multi-therapeutic approach (MTA) (2).  In fact, these studies have used many of the same therapies I’ve found to be effective over the years, which have produced lasting results in my clients. Improving and optimizing brain health is a topic near and dear to my heart, and I want to share with you what I have learned from personal and clinical experiences.


Why Your Brain Quit Working

The number one health concern in those over 60 is said to be cognitive decline (memory loss).  It's scary when you start noticing you can't add numbers in your head any more or even remember others’ names.  You need to write daily tasks down just to function throughout the day.  You ask yourself, “Where will it end? Will I end up just like…( fill in the blank)?”  I think many would agree that we would rather be dead than end up like that person in the nursing home who can’t recognize his or her own family.  I sure would; especially since that person was my mother who lost her memory and bodily functions after multiple strokes, suffering from post-stroke dementia.

There are many causes of dementia, but they are all based on the big “I” word – INFLAMMATION.  I hope I didn’t lose you there, because you have heard of this catch-all term blamed as the root cause of every modern malady.  Your response is likely “Great, but what can I do about it”?  I assure you it’s not as easy as taking fish oil which, by the way, is making most people worse. No, the TRUTH is never what becomes popular in the media.  More often, it is an approach that will be 180° opposite of what you have heard from the “experts.”  The media campaign encouraging everyone to take fish oil to improve brain function is a perfect example of common problem with an uncommon, 180° solution™ to fix it.


Hope and Inspiration in the Graveyard of Hope

I anticipate at this point you are asking, “So if I reduce inflammation, can I get my memory back or reverse my dementia?”  Let me put it this way: if I would have known what I know now when I watched my mother’s decline, I believe she would still be here today. On the other hand, I would likely not know what I now know if it were not for her suffering and death from this tragic illness.

Many of you who have read my articles and Cellular Healing Diet book know I often write about my father who gave me great inspiration.  He was an Italian bricklayer who knew nothing about diet and health, but as I reflect back, knew everything 🙂 .  I have great stories filled with humor regarding the things he said and did that turned out to be right…even regarding diet and health.  But I am not sure why I don’t tell more stories of my mom, who really was the one who encouraged me the most throughout my life. And looking back, her long-time suffering encouraged me to learn more about neurodegenerative disease.

When my mom was sick, I dreaded seeing her distant, blank stare during our visits.  She had been the personality of our family and everyone loved her. To see her that way tore me to pieces.  As I write these words, tears flow down my cheeks. The worst days were when she seemed to remember who I was, because she appeared even more trapped inside a body surrounded by a world of nothingness. It was easier to think of her as being completely blank with no recall or reality of her current existence.

For years I prayed for God to take her. Though my prayers remained unanswered, I had a deeper sense there was a reason.  Every reason I thought it could be, however, was wrong.  The day I moved my family across the country (carrying guilt of leaving her) and arrived in our new home, God took her.  I can read into it in many different ways, but I think she was hanging on for me, to make sure that I would be okay. This is just the way my mom was, especially when it came to me. I was the youngest of four, with three older sisters, and was indeed a momma’s boy 🙂 .

I share this story to remind you, and myself, that there is always purpose in pain.  It seems everything that has made the greatest difference in my life, and the lives of others, is learned in the hardest of times.  My own health battle, and watching my mother suffer from dementia, was only the beginning. Without those challenges I would not know what I know, or understand what’s it’s like to suffer.  But more importantly, I would never be able to offer hope to a condition known as “The Graveyard of Hope”.


A Multi Therapeutic Approach (MTA) as a Solution

This solution is not just for those who are diagnosed with a neurodegenerative condition like dementia or Alzheimer’s.  It is for anyone noticing that it’s much harder to remember things and experience mental clarity, a state called brain fog.  This approach goes far beyond this article, and is also used for many types of neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s and even depression.  From all that I have read and seen, I can tell you that the earlier you implement this approach, the better your chances are for recovery, even if you have the genes that increase chances of developing a neurodegenerative condition.  Prevention is always the best medicine.

In the study I refer to at the beginning of the article (2), 10 people with dementia were put on a program of strict dietary changes along with a specific supplement regimen that supported brain function.  Six out of the ten participants were unable to work due to the severity of their condition. Remember, at this stage, there is neither help nor hope for these people…or so we are told.

The general outline of the program used:

  Note: The regime was basically the Core Cellular protocol plus melatonin and DHEA, included in our new product NeuroSyn, which also contains other beneficial brain nutrients.

The results:

  • 9 out of 10 in the study improved subjectively and objectively in 3-6 months
  • The 6 that were not able to work before the study were able to return to work
  • Improvements were sustained 2.5 years after study


Example of participant #2:

  • 69 year old male who progressively got worse over 11 years: last 1-2 years he digressed significantly.
  • Testing showed early Alzheimer's and reduced glucose utilization in brain.
  • He was no longer able to recognize faces, add larger numbers in his head (a previous skill), and needed help with his daily schedule.


Participant #2 post-study results:

  • After 6 months, his wife and co-workers all noted improvements
  • Lost 10 lbs
  • He is now able to recognize faces
  • He can remember his daily schedule
  • He can add columns of numbers in his head
  • Despite the recent rapid decline in memory, the memory loss completely halted

My MTA

My own clinical experience has been the same as the results in the study. I start most clients on a block intermittent fast for 4 consecutive days.  I then move them into my Advanced Cellular Healing diet, a high fat, moderate protein, low carb keto-adaptation diet. Please read the articles for details regarding fasting and dietary changes, but both intermittent fasting and ketosis have a profound effect on the brain.  Intermittent fasting raises growth hormone and reduces inflammation, and ketosis has been used since the 1920’s to improve cognitive function.  There have even been two movies made about how a high fat ketogenic diet heals the brain (Lorenzo’s Oil and First Do No Harm). And when you combine ketosis and intermittent fasting, magic happens.

When you combine ketosis and intermittent fasting, magic happens.

After a month or two, I move my clients into daily intermittent fasting, which I have written about and discussed in some of the Cellular Healing TV broadcasts.  It’s easy to do every day; simply wait 15-20 hours between dinner the night before and the first meal the following day (exactly what they did in the study). Think of it this way: skip breakfast and eat a small high fat, moderate protein lunch, and a big dinner in the evening.  But “They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day!”  Please read my other articles to find out why intermittent fasting is another 180° solution™ lifestyle change to improve health and the opposite of what they affirm to be true.

Intermittent fasting is an act I practice daily, and without a doubt has been one of the greatest things I’ve done for my health. Most of the benefits are attributed to the increase in growth hormone and the hormone correction. Turning 50 this year, the change has been noticeable, even though I was in great health when I started.


Burst For Your Brain

I recently wrote an article about combining high intensity burst training with daily intermittent fasting to impact brain health and weight loss resistance (read it here).  I noted how the combination produces even higher growth hormone spikes than if you just do one practice by itself.  The concept of not eating before and after exercise to achieve a growth hormone spike is a 180° solution™ concept. Read the article to more fully understand why this combination works so well, but in summary: it all comes down to hormone manipulation and adaptation.

Imagine combining these three practices: daily intermittent fasting, ketosis, and high intensity burst training. The synergy is why the MTA protocol shines and is where the magic lies. Fine-tuning the approach by including products for Cellular Healing (my 5R's), which contain nutrients that heal the cell, is the fourth practice. Therefore, when these four practices are put together, you have a synergistic effect that is even more amplified.


Cellular Healing For Your Brain

I stated above that the nutrients used in the study reflect those in the Core Cellular Package. I would argue that the cellular formulas actually offer far more for the brain, especially when combined with Systemic Formulas new brain product NeuroSyn.  I suggest reading the 5R articles for a greater understanding of these formulas, and why you need to “fix the cell to get well.”

In the R2 article, I write about the importance of regenerating the cell membrane, and why a 4:1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fats is the only ratio shown to fix the cell AND support the brain. Most people load up on fish oil because they say it’s good for the brain. But the 180° solution™ concept to impact your health is always the opposite. The truth is most people taking fish oils for too long can end up in a state of omega-3 dominance which has been shown to be harmful to the cell. (2-8). The perfect fatty acid ratio in a product called VISTA by Systemic Formulas was developed around this science, and targets healing the cell membrane and the brain. VISTA is always on the front line of my protocols for clients with neurodegenerative disorders and any other conditions affecting the brain, as it’s particularly effective for these cases.


Your Brain Cells Die Without It!

There is one more product worth mentioning because this component of supporting brain health was not addressed in the present study. There are more than 100,000 studies on the effects of glutathione (GSH) on the brain. GSH is our cellular defense against toxins and inflammation. It is present in every cell in the body, and if GSH levels fall below a certain point in the cell, the cell dies instantly. Due to today’s higher levels of toxicity and stress, intracellular GSH levels are being challenged and are decreasing even in our children. Low GSH has been implicated in most of the causative models for neurodegenerative diseases.

Raising intracellular GSH levels has always been part of my MTA to healing the brain.  In the study, it appeared to be a missing piece of the puzzle. The antioxidants given to participants provided some indirect support, but I believe the results would have been greater if direct support would have been part of the program. GCEL is a third generation product I proudly took part in developing, and is included in the Core Cellular Healing package for many reasons and is always part of my MTA.


PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system

GSH is also needed for cellular detox and is part of a method I have used for years that I refer to as PompaCore Cellular Detox™.  I call it “true” detox because it’s the real deal and it works. There are many bizarre, ineffective, and dangerous detox products on the market today. However, the PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system has been used by doctors all over the country with remarkable and life-changing results. Teaching this approach has been a passion of mine for some years because this aspect is missing in most doctors’ approaches to getting very sick people well.  Even alternative doctors fail to go after the root cause, and when they do it is most often with a method of detox that is not the PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system.

I have been critical of these “10 day detox kits” available in most health food stores and the other en vogue cleanses sold on the internet. Most are colon cleanses I refer to as “poopers”.  I don’t have a problem with a colon cleanse, but it’s not going to reach the cellular level to truly get you well. At best, it can be used as a part of a detox plan to keep the toxins moving out of the gut.

I have described the PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system in many videos and articles if you’d like further details (see resources below). For the sake of this article, I’m focusing on how we use brain detox within the PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system as a critical part of the MTA to fixing the brain.

The Most Important Part of the MTA (Brain Detox)

You will never get your brain back if you don’t remove the cause. When looking at the research on the causes of dementia and other neurodegenerative conditions, here is what you find:

  • Amyloid-B and Tau proteins
  • Inflammatory mediators (cytokines)
  • Lipid metabolism factors
  • Hormonal mediators
  • Tropic factors and their receptors
  • Calcium regulatory pathways (NO/ONOO)
  • Axoplasmic transport machinery
  • Neurotransmitters and their receptors
  • Prion proteins

Why Your Brain Quits Working

Those terms may mean nothing to you, but if these are the causes and changes that take place in the brain, we must ask “What’s causing these changes?”  It appears most researchers and doctors are not asking the same question, or we would have millions of dollars going into learning better ways to detox the brain.  Last I checked, there were zero dollars going into this research, yet this is where the answer lies.

I have spent years researching better ways to detox the brain because doing so gave me my life back.  For a lasting solution to any health challenge, you must go up-stream and remove the cause.  Toxins drive almost every one of the above changes that occur in these brain conditions (glucose and insulin are another huge factor), yet no one is addressing the real problem.

Even if you apply all the therapies in the MTA, you will come up short for a lasting change if you don’t include brain detox. Certain symptoms will improve no doubt, but those who remove the cause reap the greatest lasting benefit.

I will break it down to 5 major toxins with plenty of science to back as a cause of decreased brain function:

  1. Mercury (dental amalgam fillings, flu shots and other vaccines, etc.)
  2. Aluminum (nano-aluminum particles in sun screen and vaccines)
  3. Glyphosate (GMOs, conventional grain, and non-organic produce)
  4. Mold (moldy buildings and air conditioners)
  5. Diet sodas (artificial sweeteners)

These chemicals are driving inflammation in the brain, gut (the second brain) and every cell.  I teach doctors and clients to follow on and off cycles during the detox, using true detox agents such as alpha lipoic acid and our newest cellular detox agent, which is taken in the morning and night. It takes PompaCore Cellular Detox™, along with these specific detox agents that cross into the cell and bypass the blood brain barrier, to properly detox the brain and get lasting results.


Caution:

I must caution here and state that the average person can use these and other detox agents within the PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system (Intracellular Detox System aka GCEL and BIND and other 5R cellular products), but those with more severe challenges need to work with one of the practitioners I have trained to safely and properly detox. Dosing and other detox support (like keeping detox pathways open) is critical to avoid reactions and complications. For more information on a practitioner, please contact us here.

To be clear, most people see results in the first few months, but brain detox takes years.  We teach our clients what they need to do, and continue to do, to get their lives back.  On average, it is a two year process. The good news?  You won’t need to rely on a doctor once you learn the system.  Nothing real and lasting comes easy.  There is no magic bullet to take and be well.  Most people reading this have tried the quick fixes, and are still looking for something that works.  The PompaCore Cellular Detox™ system is real, but it takes effort and commitment.  There is no easy way out once you get to this point in your health.  Don’t let that truth discourage you: let it do the opposite.  Be inspired to take charge of your health by getting to the root cause of your illness and implementing advanced and proven strategies to get your life back.
