Transcript of Episode 101: Toxic Top 10
With Dr. Daniel Pompa and Meredith Dykstra.
https://youtu.be/3Ikb5Afs8sM
Meredith:
We are at Episode 101; hard to believe already. We have recorded 101 episodes of this great show. Thanks for tuning in. Weâre so excited to have you here. As you can see, the background has changed a little bit.
Dr. Pompa:
We're together.
Meredith:
We are; we are together, physically. Youâre not in Utah. That rarely happens. Weâre here in Pittsburgh. We are at our store, Revelation Health. We are filming right here in Pittsburgh, so we may possibly have some customers walk into the store. Weâre just going to be kind of open. Itâs live, so anythingâs possible. I wanted to mix it up and show you guys our beautiful store in the background. If anybody's in the Pittsburgh area, come and see us any time.
Dr. Pompa:
You can be on Cellular Healing TV, so come on in.
Meredith:
Thatâs true. You just might end up on the show. You never know. Excited to have you here today.
The topic today is a really exciting topic that weâre going to revisit. I know youâve done a lot of past videos and written a lot of articles on this topic. Todayâs topic is the Toxic Top Ten. Dr. Pompa is going to kind of break up the list into two categories. The toxic top ten are going to be the top five are the five top toxic issues that are under your roof in your household, and five toxic issues that are actually right underneath your nose. We have the list for you. Iâm going to read a little bit before we jump in. I know weâve modernized and updated the list as well a little bit so it can keep up with the times. When you compiled this list, it was probably at least five years ago.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, at least five years ago.
Meredith:
Most things are still appropriate, but some things we wanted to make some changes to as well.
Dr. Pompa:
I donât know if we should title this Toxic Top Ten or Detoxing Your Life. One thing I always talk about is our number one is getting rid of toxins from our body, but itâs also us getting rid of toxins from our life. Detoxing your home and detoxing your life I think really is the topic of this.
Iâm not sure if I should look at you here or here. Iâm used to looking at you here. Itâs like, yeah, weâre going to do it.
Meredith:
Itâs like a little talk show.
Dr. Pompa:
I think this is relevant, what youâre going to read. Even though it was five years ago, I think that this is even more now. These are statistics that were relevant five, ten years ago.
Meredith:
Itâs still shocking.
Dr. Pompa:
Right, still shocking. Imagine where it is now. Iâll just turn that over to you.
Meredith:
Even worse. The environmental toxins weâre going to talk about today are a very broad entity of toxins. This grouping encompasses every toxin in our lives. Weâve been inundated with 80,000 chemicals since World War II. Tens of thousands â
Dr. Pompa:
I wonder what thatâs at today: 100, 200,000? 300,000? Where is it? I donât know.
Meredith:
Itâs shocking; 1,500 new chemicals each year at best. Obviously many more each year. Ten are tested for neurotoxic effects. We know many more. Zero are tested for synergistic effects, I think, which is a huge underlying issue with all of this. Weâre inundated with so many chemicals, which we know are toxic even separately, stand-alone toxins. The synergistic issue of all of these toxins coming at us at one time is mind-boggling. We donât even know.
Dr. Pompa:
It is. Theyâre not tested. Theyâre approved. Just because these are cleaning chemicals, they get away with stuff that really is absolutely criminal as far as what theyâre able to put into these products, that weâre using, that weâre absorbing right into our skin, right into our blood stream, right into our children. They have these trade secrets. They're protected under trade secrets. They can put some stuff in here that we know cause cancer, that we know cause neurotoxic effects. Thatâs why a statistic like that is really damaging. There's every year 1,500 new chemicals not tested are coming in. Theyâre protected, even a lot of these old chemicals, under trade secrets and also grandfathered in because they were approved then, but yet we know theyâre still toxic, so really, really bad stuff.
Meredith:
They donât have to label it, either.
Dr. Pompa:
No, and they donât have to label it. When we talk about detoxing your life and body, I always say, âLook, imagine a stream.â Weâre downstream emptying out toxins. Weâre cleaning our stream, making the environment better. Upstream, we have toxins coming in. Folks, this is what weâre doing in our homes every day. Find under your roof, you need to get in control to protect you and your family, especially if youâre concerned about detoxing. Many of you are wasting time and money detoxing yourselves when meanwhile your life needs detox. Of course, there's five right under our nose meaning these are things that people are doing in their daily life, whether itâs cosmetics, beauty supplies, whatever it is. We have to stop the incoming stream. Otherwise, forget it. I always say that detox is â I donât know the analogy. Itâs kind of like youâre trying to empty the leak and itâs still flowing in. This coming in faster than youâre trying to empty it out and all of a sudden it overflows. Thatâs how people get sick. Detox Your Life, thatâs this show.
Meredith:
It really goes back to our number one, which is the bottom line for all of it is removing the source of the toxins, so the underlying threat. Without further ado, itâs impossible to really tackle this broad spectrum. To keep things in mind, weâre going to have this list and you can have it as a reference so you can really be reminded of all these things that we donât always realize are so toxic in our lives on a daily basis that weâre surrounded by that really do impact our health.
Without further ado, The Toxic Top Ten. These first five are the toxic top five that are going to be under your roof. Number one, we have household cleaners. Whatâs so toxic about those?
Dr. Pompa:
What we just said. There's things in there that are neurotoxins, cancer causers. Theyâre known to do that. They donât even have to be listed. Theyâre protected under trade secrets. Some of the most toxic things that weâre absorbing that alter hormones are chemical cleaners that are right in our home. Youâre saying, âYeah, but Iâm not breathing it.â By the way, you do. When you spray these things, itâs going right into your airways, right into your blood stream. However, weâre spraying things on counters and then weâre putting food and things on those counters.
Also, dishwashers. By the way, Iâm looking back there because we have alternatives that we carry here in the store that we use in our homes. Dishwashers are one of the most toxic things in our homes.
Meredith:
Dishwashers?
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, because it gets you a couple of ways. Number one, the soap is a film on everything that youâre eating from. Itâs going in as you're eating or drinking. The dishwasher puts out a toxic gas from the soap, and not to mention the city water, which contain, which weâre getting to, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals. When the dishwasher is running, itâs putting this toxic gas of the chemicals in the soap, which are numerous, and the chemicals from the city water mix. Literally, I donât recall how many liters per hour this thing pumps out this toxic gas. When you open it, you see that big toxic flume come out.
Meredith:
Yeah, itâs that cloud.
Dr. Pompa:
Studies show that you get more in that moment of these types of toxins than you do literally in months of other exposures. Dishwashers; who would think? When we talk about water, we'll talk about thatâs one of the reasons why whole house water filtration is really important.
Meredith:
The synergistic effect.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely, it's the synergistic effect and why a simple change â I think you can buy this seventh generation in just about every store. You pop these in, this natural dishwashing detergent packs right in. The of course, hereâs another one. If you looked at the cancer-causing chemicals in most of these products that youâre ingesting day in and day out, this is a worthy change, something so simple.
Of course, this one here is a furniture polish. Years ago I did a piece about these sprays that people use on their furniture and how hormone-disrupting they are. Weâre talking about spraying furniture. Thereâs a simple, easy, natural solution. By the way, online you can make a lot of these at home. You probably know that.
Meredith:
Yes. Many easy access recipes. Just Google natural household cleaners. You can use essential oils. These things are really effective. They get your home and your clothes clean without the toxic effects. They can be very cost-effective as well.
Well, we didnât talk about â what are these here for the laundry? That can be pretty toxic as well, right?
Dr. Pompa:
Actually, thereâs a piece about toilet bowl cleaners. These things are known to cause cancer. They off gas dramatically. After a bathroom's been cleaned, those things off gas for hours and hours and hours. You and your children are breathing them. All-purpose cleaners â again, these brands are, I think, in every store now. These are things that we use in our home. You donât ever see a non-natural cleaner in our home, ever.
Now you hit a pet peeve of mine: laundry. Again, itâs been estimated at least six neurotoxins in the fabric softeners. I drive down neighborhoods, and typically, for whatever reason, apartments â I donât know what it is, generally in an apartment complex â and I smell it. I smell it. We have a codename for this. When people come around you, and they smell like fabric softener, we say, âBounce, bounce, baby.â
Meredith:
Bounce, bounce, baby, okay.
Dr. Pompa:
Youâve heard Warren and I say that word.
Meredith:
I believe I have. Maybe I didnât know what you were referring to.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs right. Thatâs the point because we donât want to offend somebody. In the past, if an old client, patient would come in, Warren would say, âBounce, bounce baby.â Sure enough, within a minute, I would be like, âAh, yeah,â smell it.
Meredith:
I know.
Dr. Pompa:
It emanates. Thereâs a 10-foot radius when you catch somebody that uses fabric softener. Itâs offensive, especially when you know how toxic it is. Folks, itâs not just the nose; the chemicals are going into your skin. Most of them are endocrine disruptors. They alter your hormones. They cause weight loss resistance.
Iâve had people get rid of their fabric softeners, and their migraine headaches go away. All of a sudden, they start to be able to lose weight where they wouldnât before. Thatâs how toxic this stuff is. What youâre washing your clothes in is hugely important. Again, there are so many laundry detergents now that are natural. Get them. My pet peeve is, in fact, the fabric softeners. Eco-safe, when Warren got these, Iâm telling you, he was so excited. I have to admit that we use them as a double. My pets end up getting them because â
Meredith:
Yeah. Wool dryer balls, they soften clothes, decrease drying time by up to 25%, and theyâre awesome and totally natural, hypoallergenic minus the toxins.
Dr. Pompa:
The pets love them.
Meredith:
Itâs a win-win. All right. We covered a lot. All right. We mentioned the dishwashers, the cleaning products, the laundry. All right. Thatâs number one, household cleaners. All right. Number two â
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs such an easy exchange.
Meredith:
Yeah, easy.
Dr. Pompa:
Come on, folks. Finances are not a problem because these may cost more money â to me, worth every penny â however, you can always make your own.
Meredith:
Yes, yes. Good reminder. Yes. All right, household cleaners, number one. Number two, we have furniture, carpets, and appliances. Now, how are those affecting our health?
Dr. Pompa:
Okay. First of all, weâre not telling you to just rip all of your furniture and start from scratch. That would be a hard exchange.
Meredith:
Right, right.
Dr. Pompa:
Every time you buy new, keep in mind that these are some of the most toxic things in our home. When we bring a new computer in your home, you smell a certain smell. You may not; I do. Itâs typically bromine and other flame retardants that they spray on it.
By the way, these are thyroid disruptors. Bromine, in particular, it really mimics a lot of the thyroid hormones. It mimics iodine. It even competes for iodine, and thatâs what you need to actually make thyroid hormone. Think of them as thyroid disruptors, flame retardants. Itâs sprayed on new furniture. Itâs sprayed on all your new computers.
What do we do about that? We heat them. We either put a heater on your â not directly on your computer, but a certain distance away so we heat it, or if itâs a sunny day, you put it outside in the sun, whether itâs furniture, anything new that you bring into your home.
I have to say this: I put my new computer outside in the sun. It started off really sunny. Of course, it started raining. I went out, and my computer was wet. I did get it. It was fine.
Meredith:
Your new computer!
Dr. Pompa:
Donât make the same mistake Dr. Pompa made.
Meredith:
Donât make that mistake.
Dr. Pompa:
Sun and heat are what you want to do with these new products. Of course, today, you can buy even mattresses flame retardant-free, which oftentimes, you have to get, in certain states, a doctorâs written excuse. Yeah.
Meredith:
You have to have an excuse to not get the toxins. Wow! Isnât that crazy?
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. They spray all of these things with these chemicals. Theyâre hormone disrupting, as I said.
Meredith:
Is that because guidelines require them to from our government?
Dr. Pompa:
Yep, absolutely. Theyâre flame retardant. Of course, thereâs many other chemicals in furniture. Oftentimes, you get what you pay for. Solid wood furniture is much less toxin-free than these pressed, different boards, all the false stuff, the cheap stuff. Those are loaded with toxins.
Oftentimes, when we walk into someoneâs home, itâs a new home. Weâre trying to locate where the biggest sources of toxins. By the way, itâs called VOC volatile, organic compounds, or these toxins that off-gas, and you smell that in new cars, smell it in new homes.
Meredith:
The new car smell â
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs right. By the way, those are flame retardants, typically. Styrenes, another hormone disruptor, cancer causes. Thatâs that new car smell. When we walk into a home, itâs the cabinetry. Iâll give you a website. Heâs a friend of ours, Joel from GreenBuildingSupplies.com. He sells, even, sealants that you can seal off some of these new cabinets, things.
Today, Joel, on his site and others, they have non-VOC everything, paint. When you paint, we always use non-VOC in our home. They have non-VOC sealants for new furniture, things like that. Even carbon things that you can lay in your new cabinets to pull in the odors. Choosing the right things when you buy new, I think, is important. GreenBuildingSupplies.com will help you. I think that every place, now, is becoming more and more aware of these VOCs that we bring into our home when we bring new furnitures in.
All of the padding, the urethanes, are made from different petrochemicals that off-gas. Listen, when you get a new pillow, get real wool, 100% organic cotton.
Meredith:
Cotton, just natural fiber.
Dr. Pompa:
I love wool as a pillow because itâs naturally antibacterial. It keeps bedbugs, and these funguses, and bacterias that accumulate over time from moisture, etcetera, it keeps it at by. Organic cotton, organic wool, and even real rubber, actual latex, which has an odor in the beginning, but itâs a natural odor. Those are my three favorite choices for mattresses, pillows, and blankets, things that weâre exposed to all night long, up against our skin, and breathing.
Meredith:
Yeah. Sleep on a rubber pillow, rubber blanket.
Dr. Pompa:
There are real rubber pillows, yes.
Meredith:
Ah!
Dr. Pompa:
I have one. I have two.
Meredith:
Whatâs the brand?
Dr. Pompa:
One is â oh, gosh â
Meredith:
Iâm going to write that down.
Dr. Pompa:
Hold on. Iâm going to come up with it any second. The Cloud was the name of my mattress. Royal-Pedic makes them, and that was our â
Meredith:
Royal-Pedic rubber pillows, how fun.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, Royal-Pedic. They make pillows; they make mattresses. Thereâs many brands out there, and Iâve even bought some of the pillows from other brands. These are things that â thereâs a website called Nirvana â I donât know where that came from â Nirvana Safe Haven.
Meredith:
Okay.
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs this little, old lady, just loves health. We love her. You could buy some of these pillows and things off of her site, too, even those carbon things that go on â absorb smells. She sells those. She even sells air filtration units, which weâre going to get to air. Just some great website there that you can buy this stuff at.
Meredith:
Nirvana Safe Haven and the rubber pillow, I love that. Just one more question: How long do you suggest off-gassing something new?
Dr. Pompa:
Every time you pass Warrenâs house, thereâs something outside off-gassing.
Meredith:
Yeah, there is. Even at the store, weâre off-gassing these new chairs when we got them.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, yeah. Right, yeah. I think itâs just really â Iâd go by smell. I have a very clever nose. Iâll sit them out there for days, even weeks, just moving them in and out on sunny days, putting heaters on them in your garage, of course. Donât put a heater on your computer or a new chair and have it in your home because then the off-gassing -inaudible-. Do it in a garage or outside, if possible. Itâs days or weeks depending on â I can smell it. I re-smell it and see where weâre at in the process, days or weeks, honestly.
Meredith:
Yeah. I do the same thing with dry-cleaning, as well, which I know is very toxic. I donât know if weâre even going to talk about that. Yes. Iâll always leave that out in my garage or outside, too, very toxic.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs a good point, dry-cleaning. Again, thereâs many safe dry-cleaners today. Theyâre not using â
Meredith:
Mm-hmm. There are options, better options.
Dr. Pompa:
Iâve had many clients who worked in dry-cleaners, even owners of dry-cleaners, and they end up with Parkinsonâs and other neurodegenerative disease. A lot of the chemicals in dry-cleaner are known to cause Parkinsonâs and other neurodegenerative diseases. Folks, weâre putting these clothes, especially people that dry-clean daily, on our skin. Again, itâs going into your blood stream.
There is safer dry-cleaners today, but always take the paper off, and let it off-gas, typically in your garage or some area where itâs not going to be on you first. I kind of donât wear a shirt for even â weâre using natural dry-cleaner. I let them off-gas before I wear them, and Warren does the same thing. Iâm sure you do the same thing.
Meredith:
Yeah â even the natural. Just not worth the risk.
Dr. Pompa:
Yup.
Meredith:
Great. All right. Weâve had household cleaners, furniture, carpets, and appliances, which didnât even get into the carpets, but thatâs kind of -inaudible-, as well.
Dr. Pompa:
Carpets are loaded with formaldehyde in glue that they use. Natural, wool carpets are so easy to find today â rugs. Iâm sorry, rugs. Carpets today, if you go into a hotel, -inaudible- use the wool carpets because, why? They last longer. Theyâre a better quality.
Listen, spend the money on your carpets. It will take two years, oftentimes, for a cheap carpet â by the way, most of the carpet that people are using in their homes, at least get put in our homes, two years to off-gas. Weâre talking about formaldehyde levels.
Meredith:
Two years? Oh, my!
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. Itâs formaldehyde levels, dangerous levels, up to a year. Still high levels, even a second year. If youâre building a new home, make sure you use the carpet â all wool carpets. They have no-VOC carpets now. I know Joel sells them on GreenBuildingSupplies, whoâs, by the way, going to be one of our guests in a future show.
Meredith:
Yes. Mm-hmm. Yeah, great. All right. Awesome. Moving on, number three, under the â toxins under the roof, we have water. Now, a lot of people just turn on that faucet and drink tap water. Whatâs the problem with tap water?
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs hard for me to believe that people still drink tap water.
Meredith:
People do. I was just at a party yesterday drinking it. Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. I go out to dinner, people say, âOh, Iâll just drink the tap water.â Iâm like, âReally?â Itâs amazing because thereâs so much out there. You even watch the news, and you see about how the waterâs contaminated with medications, hormones that everyoneâs taking. Itâs in the water. Antibiotics, itâs in the water.
Meredith:
Birth control pills â yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Birth control pills, right. The hormone disruption in water, itâs through the roof. Weâre talking about fish that are literally transforming into females versus males or these things that really arenât males or females because of the hormones in water. Weâre drinking tap water? Really? Psychotropic drugs are in tap water altering our serotonin, dopamine levels.
We know that water is toxic. It doesnât matter if the waterâs good in our city or state. Oh no, no. Itâs loaded with medications. Of course, chlorine, fluoride, these things that are purposely put in water, and then of course, the other contaminates that youâd typically find. Heavy metals are still in water.
Meredith:
Heavy metals â
Dr. Pompa:
The different farming chemicals, which are still going to be found in water â to me, something so simple. At least get a reverse osmosis point of service, $200, $300, a really good one, maybe $500. This is worth its weight in gold. Why not bottled water? Because bottled water is heated, and itâs stored in the warehouses in plastic.
Meredith:
Plastic â
Dr. Pompa:
When I travel, do I use bottled water? Yes, but at home, day in, day out, get a point of service unit.
Meredith:
Itâs convenient.
Dr. Pompa:
Listen, save up for a whole-house unit, somewhere between $1,000 and $3,000. Donât we have a reference on -inaudible-.
Meredith:
Mm-hmm. We do, RevelationHealth.com. We have plenty of water filtration systems. We have point of service, we have full-house filtration, so plenty of options depending on your budget and your preference.
Dr. Pompa:
We have the video of what I have in my house.
Meredith:
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Pompa:
Warren did a video with water of what he has in his house. To me, itâs important. I talked about the dishwasher. Hereâs another one: you shower. Youâre breathing in a shower, a 10-minute shower. Itâs like drinking 10 glasses of chlorinated water.
Meredith:
Ten-minute shower â
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. In other words, just showering in there, itâs like youâre taking in, right into your lungs, chlorine, fluoride, every chemical thatâs in the water. The dishwasher issue â Iâm a firm believer in whole-house water filtration as well as point of service. Every house I go in, I make sure I have both.
Meredith:
Wow. So many of us think about what weâre drinking, but not as much about over-showering. Good reminder there. Awesome. All right. Moving on. Number four, under the roof, weâve got our air quality. Whatâs wrong with our air?
Dr. Pompa:
On our site, D-R Pompa.com, we have an air â I show how I bring in fresh air. Look, we talked about these things that we canât avoid, some of the carpets, some of the furniture thatâs already in our home. Here is the problem. We are building homes that are sealed. Yes, theyâre better for our heating bill and air conditioning bill, right? Theyâre more efficient.
Meredith:
Mm-hmm. Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
Weâre making homes more efficient; however, the problem is weâre sealing these homes into these little, toxic balls. Weâre painting all the furniture, all the chemicals we use daily, the sprays, everything. All of these chemicals are being trapped because homes do not breathe. We use something called an ERV, an energy return ventilator, that I hook up to all my homes. It brings in fresh air. We have one in this building that brings in fresh air and brings out stale air. Home are sealed, so these units are very important to recycle the air. Air quality is huge.
Of course, putting in a better air filter than whatâs that little, thin one that comes in every filtration. You can upgrade, not even expensive anymore. Itâs something really quality that at least takes out a lot of the pollens, the dust that carries toxins with it. Those are important. Even today, thereâs things for the air like different UV lights that knock down viruses, bacteria, mold spores, things like that.
Air conditioning units, they have a compressor. What happens is that the cooling device, it runs, then it shuts off. What happens is condensation, moisture, forms on it, especially in humid areas, East Coast, Florida, Georgia, I could go down the list. What happens is that mold forms on it. Now, the mold is blowing into your home every time the AC unit -inaudible-. Again, putting something on there â matter of fact, we did an episode on how to make your home safe. It was titled that, so Iâm not sure. It was in the seventies as far as episodes go. We interviewed Dan Howard.
Meredith:
More recently, too.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. That was recently. Was that in the eighties?
Meredith:
The mold remediation show â yeah. That was, maybe, 92, 91. We can easily find that.
Dr. Pompa:
Okay. All right. Find that because we talked about this issue of making homes safe.
Meredith:
Ninety-three.
Dr. Pompa:
Okay, 93. Episode 93, we interviewed an expert in environmental air, homes.
Meredith:
Mm-hmm â mold expert.
Dr. Pompa:
We talked about mold. Heâs a mold expert. Also, we talked about how to make your home safe, things to look for. Utilizing these things are really important. Hereâs a simple thing: Put your fan on, instead of auto, where it goes on and off, your fan should run all the time. Number one, the air gets filtered more, and number two, that air continually blows so that moisture doesnât build up on the air conditioner, especially in the summer. That coil builds up that moisture, but if the fan keep blowing, it dries. Let your fans run all the time. Couple hints there.
Meredith:
Yeah. Good point there. Before we move on from the air, how about air fresheners? Can you talk about that?
Dr. Pompa:
Pet peeve! Okay, the dryer balls, âBounce, bounce baby,â another pet peeve is when I go into a car or a home that has air fresheners, again, loaded with neurotoxins, unnecessary. Weâre thinking weâre making our air fresh.
Meredith:
Yeah, just smelling so clean and lovely. Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Thereâs salt thatâs fresh. When thereâs natural essential oils that are actually good for you, not neurotoxic â listen, people watching this, we have a lot of people who are chemically sensitive. I call them canaries in the coalmine. I was one of them. Many people around us are these canary in a coalmine.
Meredith:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Air fresheners, we call bonk them out faster than anything, fabric softener, too. You go into a car and have them in â last time I came to Pittsburgh â and I wouldnât even consider myself chemically sensitive â the cab driver or Uber driver that took me from the airport to Warrenâs house, I got in. I was like, âWow! Iâm not chemically sensitive anymore. The heck with it. Iâm not switching cabs.â Within 10 minutes, Iâm going, âWhoo!â
Meredith:
Wow!
Dr. Pompa:
Iâm like brain fog. Yeah. âSo, whatâs the address?â Iâm like â it got â
Meredith:
It happened so quickly.
Dr. Pompa:
Most people, they just donât know what happened.
Meredith:
Right.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah.
Meredith:
Connect the dots.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely. I ended up educating him why those air fresheners are a really bad idea, and some are more so. Get those things out of your house. Essential oils, donât they sell the little diffusers?
Meredith:
Yes. Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
You can put them in, and â especially because â
Meredith:
The diffuse a natural, lovely scent without the toxins. Why wouldnât you choose that?
Dr. Pompa:
Next steps â yeah.
Meredith:
Yeah. Education, key. Get rid of your air fresheners. Next, you kind of already talked about this. For number five, under the roof, we wanted to talk about mold. We felt like it should be in its own category.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. I do because itâs â so many people today are very, very sick and donât know why. Itâs because of mold â even the inability to lose weight. Mold really affects a hormone called leptin. Leptin receptors are in the brain on the hypothalamus. Those are receptors that regulate how often our body says its ready to eat, hunger, not hungry. Leptin receptors, when they activate, they literally tell our body to burn fat for energy. It really plays into that.
Biotoxins that are produced from mold affect that hormone, and it really causes weight loss resistance. Really, it disrupts all the hormone pathways. A lot of people have just pain, unexplained pain. When we think of mold, we think of the mold allergy. Weâre not talking about an allergy here. Weâre talking about biotoxic illness, chronic fatigue, canât sleep, hormone disruption, like I said, chronic pain that comes and goes.
Meredith:
Connecting so many things.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah â connected to so many things, weight loss resistance. A lot of unexplainable illnesses happen from mold. Look, if you are living in a home that the basement gets wet every once in a while, you have a mold issue.
Meredith:
Is this just black mold or is this all kinds of mold?
Dr. Pompa:
Thereâs dangerous molds. Thereâs a toxic top five, if you will, of dangerous molds, Aspergillus, of course Stachybotrys. Thereâs a few other ones. We talked about them on the show. I canât remember all five of them that he mentioned on the show with Dan Howard.
Meredith:
Long names â yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Clostridium, thereâs another one. The point is that these are toxic molds, unlike mildew that we would sometimes see. Not every mold is toxic, but these molds that go amplified when we have a slow leak under a counter, a wet basement. Most mold â this is important â you donât see. Itâs like, âOh, I donât see mold in my house.â I can walk into a home or a business and go, âThereâs mold.â
Meredith:
Wow! You have that keen of a sense after so many years.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely. Absolutely. So many years, you smell it, and I walk out. Look, even though I donât have the level of sensitivity I used to have, I still know that mold is bad for everybody. Thatâs an important point, too. You get four people living in the same house. One or two get very sick, and the other ones arenât sick yet. Some people genetically are more sensitive or have less of an ability to get rid of these biotoxins. Some peopleâs bucket is already full from other toxic exposures, heavy metals, amalgams, all these other things. Their bucket overflows. The mold in that home becomes such a problem for them that theyâre sick. They donât know why.
They leave the home; they feel better, but yet, not completely better because the mold has bioaccumulated in their body, or the biotoxins stayed in the body in deep tissue, and also turned on certain genes that need to be turned off. Thatâs where the 5 Rs comes in. A lot of the 5 Rs of cellular healing is about turning off the bad genes that have been expressed. I think weâve had some of the products â oh! I never went in and got them, but Iâm going to reach over here.
Meredith:
Oh. Youâre going to grab the CytoDetox?
Dr. Pompa:
That guy walking out the door can go grab a CytoDetox for us and throw us that. Thank you, customer. Thereâs two products in here called GCell and Bind. The Bind really grabs these biotoxins in the gut â thank you â as theyâre dumped. These biotoxins bind up the bile in the liver that are dumped in the gut. This Bind is utilized to grab them so you donât reabsorb them. The GCell really moves the biotoxins from the cell. The CytoDetox, we didnât used to have this in the past. This grabs biotoxins. It grabs a lot of heavy metals, as well.
Meredith:
-inaudible- so many toxins.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. It also crosses into the cell. When we bring it to the gut, so we donât reabsorb it, Bind grabs it. I look at these three as our little biotoxic pathway. Again folks, this will pull it out of the body after you leave the home. If youâre taking this and you still live in a moldy home, this is bad. Watch the episode. Weâve done a few episodes on mold, how to make your home safe with Dan Howard. Watch those episodes.
If you have water, you have mold. This is important, and this talks about fresh air, really, too. Many people have mold in their home just because your humidity levelâs too high. Anything really above 50, youâre forming mold, potentially.
Meredith:
Above 50 â okay.
Dr. Pompa:
If it gets above 60, you have mold just because of humidity.
Meredith:
Wow!
Dr. Pompa:
Air conditioning systems alone canât drop the level. When I lived here in Pittsburgh, I always had a dehumidifier. Dan Howard, in that other episode, talks about a dehumidifier bringing that level down below 50, even 45 or below. Therefore, weâre not forming mold just on humidity alone.
Meredith:
Good to know. You want it below 50 with the dehumidifier.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah.
Meredith:
Great.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. Again, also, thereâs ERVs that bring in fresh air, bring out fresh air. That helps, also, keep humidity down.
Meredith:
Whatâs that stand for again, the ERV?
Dr. Pompa:
Energy return ventilator.
Meredith:
Energy return ventilator â great. Those past mold episodes are 73, 75, and 93 as reference, so check those out, too, to get informed and educated on mold. All right. Before we move on, weâve got the top five under your rooftop toxic five. Household cleaners, number one; furniture, carpets, and appliances, number two; number three, water; number four, air, and number five, mold, a category all of its own. All right. Great. Moving on. Next, we have, to finish the top 10, we have the top five under your nose. This should be interesting. All right.
Dr. Pompa:
I like this.
Meredith:
Number six, this is a massive topic, but food. Where do we start with the toxins in our food?
Dr. Pompa:
I think today we start with glyphosate.
Meredith:
Okay.
Dr. Pompa:
This is one of the things that I think weâll â some years ago, when we did the toxic top 10, we didnât know a lot about. Recently, I just had the privilege of interviewing Stephanie Seneff. Sheâs the senior scientist at MIT, one of them. She has published many papers on the damaging effects of glyphosate. What is glyphosate?
Glyphosate is the number one herbicide/pesticide used ubiquitous in our food supply. Now, itâs in all of us, folks. It is basically on every non-organic product being used. It causes holes in our gut according to her studies. According to her studies, it affects a -inaudible- pathway that makes â we make a lot of our brain chemicals, if you will, neurotransmitters, things that our â chemicals our brain needs to work, serotonin, dopamine. Youâre familiar with some of these things that make us feel good. We make them in our gut.
This chemical is destroying certain bacteria that we need to make those. Itâs affecting our gut and our brain, which, by the way, this is our second brain, itâs called.
Meredith:
Wow! Makes sense.
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs causing leaky gut, which leads to autoimmune, just people in general just feeling bad, food allergies, food sensitivities. Glyphosate causes this. It causes this brain not to work. Itâs linked to dementia. Itâs linked to autism. Itâs linked to diabetes. Itâs linked to heart disease because it disrupts this stuff called cholesterol sulfate. Look, watch the show, the interview with Stephanie Seneff.
Meredith:
Number 96.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. There you go, episode 96. If you donât have value for getting this out of your life and your childrenâs life, you will after that show. This science is solid. This stuff is poison. Listen, it is being sprayed on every grain, or conventional grain to desiccate it, meaning â itâs called desiccation, meaning to harvest it to increase profits because it makes it easier to harvest. It even increases the yield. Thatâs why itâs being sprayed on everything. Of course, itâs being sprayed on every plant, vegetable.
GMO, genetically modified organisms, are literally being designed by the company who makes glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup, by the way. Theyâre the ones that make the chemical. Oh, theyâre the ones that develop GMO soybeans, GMO corn, and itâs every â
Meredith:
All subsidized.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely, yeah.
Meredith:
Itâs cheap.
Dr. Pompa:
Theyâre genetically modifying these plants to take massive amounts of this chemical. If youâre eating GMO, youâre taking in a massive amount of this chemical that causes these health effects.
Meredith:
Theyâre genetically engineering and modifying the foods to be sprayed with this. Then we eat it; causes massive, massive health effects. Itâs really shocking.
Dr. Pompa:
She said something on the show that I found interesting. She said, âIf you really look at the statistics on obesity and when America and other countries became obese,â she said, âAround 1975, it exactly correlates with when we started using glyphosate in our food supply, in our environment.â
She believes that, and just like these other diseases, dementia, Alzheimerâs, autism, as glyphosate increased, so does these conditions. She talks about how it actually exemplifies, makes worse the toxicity of heavy metals and other toxins. It allows the heavy metals to cross into the brain, into the nerve tissue, much faster. Glyphosate makes other toxins more toxic, especially heavy metals, and a lot of her research shows that.
Meredith:
Wow. So scary. Eat organic, 100% if possible.
Dr. Pompa:
Worth every penny to do so. Avoid GMOs. If you canât afford all organic, at least eat from the food that arenât sprayed as often. I think in some of the past shows, we even talked about that.
Meredith:
Yeah. Anything else on food you want to mention, the fats, the toxic fats?
Dr. Pompa:
Vegetable oil, I think, again, itâs ubiquitous in our food supply. You go in Whole Foods or other health food stores, and you see canola oil, and vegetable oils, and everything. It is a toxic fat that drives inflammation, cellular inflammation.
Meredith:
Why do people think canola oilâs healthy?
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, right. Right. Itâs rapeseed oil. It really is a rancid oil that really does drive inflammation. Itâs not healthy. Get rid of the toxic oils, the toxic fats. Iâm a believer in eating grass-fed because toxic fat forms in animals that donât eat grass. Cows that are meant to eat grass are eating grain. It makes a toxic fat that weâre eating. Itâs not that meat is bad; itâs what man has done to it. Itâs not that dairy is bad; itâs what man has done to it. We start a cow by eating grain, so that denatures the ratios of the fats right off the bat.
Meredith:
Shouldnât be eating in the first place.
Dr. Pompa:
Weâre giving it antibiotics, steroids, hormones, which we ingest, not to mention other drugs and medications theyâre giving to cows, which ends up in the meat and the milk. Then weâre homogenizing, pasteurizing the milk. It is the most dangerous food on the planet when dairy done right is one of the healthiest foods on the planets. Totally denatured â anyways, thereâs toxic food.
Meredith:
Yeah. That goes along with the three components of your cellular healing diet, as well. Nix the conventional grains, get rid of the toxic fats, and upgrade to high quality animal protein, only grass-fed and organic.
Dr. Pompa:
Three simple exchanges, no doubt about it.
Meredith:
Yep. There you go, cellular healing diet. All right. Number seven, the ones underneath your nose, well, topic near and dear to your heart, amalgam fillings.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs how I got sick. Most people watching this know my story. Yeah. Fifty percent of a silver filling is mercury, despite what your dentist says. Itâs not anyoneâs opinion. Itâs not his opinion or my opinion. It is proven that these things leach mercury the life of the filling. World Health Organization said, âHey, itâs not fit to be put in humans.â When they looked at the studies, study after study shows that this stuff is toxic.
A study was published in -inaudible-, which is one of the most prestigious scientific journal on the planet, showed that the number of fillings that you have in your mouth is proportional to how much they find in the brain. A direct study showed the number of fillings in momâs mouth was proportional to how much mercury they found in the babyâs brain on autopsies.
When they take the fetus and they look at how much mercury is in the brain, it was proportional to many fillings mom had in her mouth. Amalgam fillings, right under your nose, massive mercury. The vapor from that mercury is going into your brain every day. It is, in fact, right under your nose. Look, I always say, âDonât insult our intelligence.â Before that silver filling goes in your mouth, itâs handled. It was hazardous waste, all the guidelines from OSHA, handled that in the dental office. Itâs hazardous waste.
The moment it goes in your mouth, itâs now considered safe by the American Dental Association. Now, the moment it comes out, itâs handled as hazardous waste again. Literally, it changes categories. Ultimately, it is more dangerous in your mouth because itâs an acid environment.
Meredith:
Itâs hot, too.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely, and weâre drinking how liquids, brushing our teeth, causing it to vaporize more. The moment it comes out and hits that dental tray, now itâs hazardous waste again. Donât insult our intelligence. Donât tell me itâs safe in here when itâs not safe out here according to all environmental experts. Theyâre ridiculous.
Meredith:
Wow.
Dr. Pompa:
Listen, donât run and just get these filling out. We have a pre-protocol that we do. We have, obviously, dentists who do it safely, protecting the person, protecting themselves.
Meredith:
IAOMT.org is the website where you can go and find a biological dentist in your area. Thatâs I-A-O-M-T dot org.
Dr. Pompa:
Prepare the body just like we do in true cellular detox. Get it done correctly. Then four or five days after the last filling comes out, then we can start actually, really, true metal detox, which by the way, you do true metal detox, it should never be done with one of those fillings in your mouth. You will eventually get more sick because of trying to pull mercury out of the body. It will eventually start to pull it from the filling. Caution: Be aware of that.
I believe that no one will reach their level, their goal of health, with silver fillings in their mouth. I think that most countries have banned them, are banning them, except right here in the good old United States of America. We are still putting these filling in, and that saddens me. Not every year, but almost every year, before congress, thereâs an outcry. They bring out a complete ban on these fillings, and every year, the ADA somehow pushes it through, that it doesnât get banned.
Meredith:
Are they cheaper? Why are they still â thatâs why? Bottom line.
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs cheap. Itâs cheaper. There was a past show that we did with Dr. Grieco here in Pittsburgh.
Meredith:
Episode number 30.
Dr. Pompa:
What was it?
Meredith:
I think itâs episode number 30. We have past shows â number one and number two on Cellular Healing TV, the very beginning shows referenced amalgam fillings, as well. Check those out in the archives.
Dr. Pompa:
Episode one, two, thirty â yep. You talked about the backlash, the ADA being afraid of the backlash if we say that these are hazardous waste, which they should be categorized at â by the way, thatâs what goes before congress every year. Letâs call this what it is, hazardous waste. The moment they do, now, all of a sudden, it has to be banned putting it in humans. Then is there going to be lawsuits because many people, like myself, lost their lives?
I developed massive chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity. I would have never gotten well if I didnât start here, getting these out safely. Once those came out, I started to be able to get the mercury out of where? The brain. Thatâs where it goes. It goes deep into the brain. Thatâs why my hormones were disregulated. Thatâs why my thyroid wasnât working right. Despite my efforts on getting my adrenals and my thyroid to work, it wouldnât happen. You have to get to the source, as weâre talking about today, in our life and here.
Meredith:
So many people donât make the connection between the amalgams and all these other health challenges. Just like you said, the mold can cause weight loss resistance. So many of us donât make that connection. Wow. Wow â getting to the source.
Dr. Pompa:
Biotoxins from mold and mercury from amalgams are what I call the Big Boys, meaning that if youâre sick, you donât know why, or you canât lose weight, or you donât feel well, your energy â itâs typically one of those. They shut down detox pathways, and now you start accumulating all of these other toxins that weâre talking about, the toxins that are in your home, that youâre using in your make-up, which weâre getting to, the water, etcetera.
Meredith:
Yeah. Wow. Okay. Number eight, another hot topic, vaccines. We just did a recent show on this â well, not too recent, episode number 57 to dig back in the archives. Letâs talk about vaccines and the problem.
Dr. Pompa:
-inaudible-. I think we even did a flu shot episode.
Meredith:
We did. We did. Thatâs 57.
Dr. Pompa:
That would be right in this â more recent in this category. Flu shots still contain at least 25 micrograms of mercury. Weâre getting them every year. I quoted in a lecture that I did recently, Hugh â gosh, heâs the most quoted biologist on the planet, eight hundred-and-some reference journals. He is the worldâs leading biologist, immunologist, and a brilliant guy.
He said in his study, five consecutive flu shots in a 10-year period increased your chance of Parkinsonâs and Alzheimerâs in other studies tenfold. Hey, weâre doing a live show.
Meredith:
Hello.
Dr. Pompa:
We just had a customer walk in.
Meredith:
Hi.
Customer:
Hi.
Meredith:
Welcome.
Dr. Pompa:
Weâre actually doing a Cellular Healing TV show. Do you ever watch Cellular Healing TV?
Customer:
No.
Dr. Pompa:
You should. There you go.
Customer:
I should.
Dr. Pompa:
We actually said, âWeâre doing a live show, and a customer may walk in.â One did. Sheâll be down to help you.
-inaudible-.
Dr. Pompa:
Anyway, thatâs a staggering statistic. Literally, five consecutive flu shots in a 10-year period, 10 times increase in dementia, Alzheimerâs, Parkinsonâs, -inaudible- diseases.
Meredith:
Scary. So many are getting them.
Dr. Pompa:
Vaccines, itâs not just about mercury. They took out mercury in many vaccines; however, they still contain aluminum, other chemicals like formaldehyde, and many other problematic things, aborted fetal tissue, propylene glycol, which is antifreeze.
Meredith:
Ugh! Why are they putting this in the vaccines?
Dr. Pompa:
They have to attenuate. They have to kill off the viruses. They have to protect it from other bacterias, and they also have to drive the immune system, to activate the immune system because thatâs how the vaccines work. These toxins, they actually stimulate the immune system to actually â thatâs how they raise up the temporary immunity.
I donât want to do a whole show on vaccines. Look, the point here is Iâm not telling anyone not to vaccinate. Whatâs Iâm saying is you better educate yourself.
Meredith:
Yeah. Do the research.
Dr. Pompa:
Thereâs two problems with vaccines. Number one, theyâre extremely toxic. Look at the ingredients. Google it yourself. Number two, they stimulate the wrong immune system, which is a whole ânother problem, a whole ânother topic for another day. Check it out yourself.
Meredith:
Wow! Wow, vaccines â a lot there. Check out episode 57, too, for a little more information on that. All right. Next, number nine, huge topic, plastics. Plastic, itâs everywhere. We canât escape it. Whatâs the problem with plastic?
Dr. Pompa:
I think one of the â youâre seeing everywhere is how plastics disrupt the hormone system. Theyâre endocrine disruptors. We talked a lot about that even in the cleaners, BPA. I love always quoting the study that â it was a Duke University study where they took BPA, and they gave it to identical twin mice. They gave it to one group, not the other. What happened was this group that they gave it to, it turned on the agouti gene, which made them obese and some other health challenges. That was done by utilizing that BPA.
By the way, they did it in equivalent amounts that we, as humans, are exposed to, and it triggered the gene. We know BPA triggers hormones, and hormones can cause weight loss resistance, people not to feel well, the whole -inaudible-.
Meredith:
BPA is a chemical in plastics.
Dr. Pompa:
It is. Right.
Meredith:
Okay.
Dr. Pompa:
Youâll see BPA â
Meredith:
Bisphenol PA, right?
Dr. Pompa:
Yes, bisphenol PA. Youâll see BPA-free, but thereâs other things like fallates and other chemicals that are in plastic. Thatâs getting into our bodies, driving hormone problems and other problems. Where are we getting it from?
Meredith:
Where arenât we getting it from, right?
Dr. Pompa:
We mentioned drinking water, people drinking out of plastic, right?
Meredith:
Mm-hmm, especially when heated, right?
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs right. I was just going to say that. Please, donât put hot food in Tupperware plastic and then just put it away. Hot and cold will make the chemical go into the food, and then we eat the food.
Meredith:
Even worse, microwaving in plastic.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs right.
Meredith:
See that all the time.
Dr. Pompa:
Really?
Meredith:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs bad. Hereâs a hidden one, which I think exposed it was estimated 3,000 times the level of BPA. Canned food has a plastic in the canned food. The acidity thatâs typically in canned food, and it sits there for a long time exposed to heat and different things, pulls the BPA and other fallates, other chemicals, from that coating.
Meredith:
Scary. Even if you get an organic canned food, if it doesnât say, âBPA-free,â youâre getting that exposure.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs correct. Youâre getting other plastics, if so. It used to be they did that because they were worried about the lead from the solder. Then we went to the plastic. Anyways, a big, big problem when dealing with canned food.
Meredith:
Wow!
Dr. Pompa:
I think thereâs a lot of hidden sources of plastic that we donât realize, the acidic food. You get the pizza sauce in the can, which really causes that to leach from the can, or we take the spaghetti or whatever weâre eating, put it in the Tupperware or the plastic bowl, and weâre getting exposed there.
Hereâs another one: I used to catch my kids with this. They would make lemonade from 100% lemon. They would put into a plastic glass. Lemon is so acidic, if you take a Styrofoam cup â if you just take a lemon, itâll eat through the cup. It dissolves the cup.
Meredith:
Wow â that acidic. Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. Whereâs that styrene going? Itâs going right into us. When you see people at picnics drinking in Styrofoam, and theyâre drinking lemonade, Iâm like, âStop! Thatâs styrene. Thatâs cancer-causing.â
Meredith:
Wow! Donât even think of it. Yeah. Styrofoam, thatâs another really, really toxic â and so many of us drink hot coffee out of Styrofoam or itâs served â
Dr. Pompa:
Styrofoam, styrene, a chemical that causes cancer. Donât do that. Use paper at least. Yep.
Meredith:
Use paper. Wow. Hot one with the plastics. Finally here, number 10, weâve got toxic beauty products that are right under your nose.
Dr. Pompa:
Which, by the way â it comes right off of this plastic conversation.
Meredith:
Yes. Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
One of the highest exposures of BPA is toxic beauty.
Meredith:
Wow.
Dr. Pompa:
We have things like lip balm or lipstick, weâre getting, actually â
Meredith:
Thatâs actually an essential oil roller, but â
Dr. Pompa:
Here. Talk about that.
Meredith:
Weâve got a little ChapStick here.
Dr. Pompa:
There it is. Okay. Good. All right. Iâm going to say this is lipstick or ChapStick.
Meredith:
Weâll pretend.
Dr. Pompa:
Lipstick actually contains one of the highest lead levels.
Meredith:
Iâve heard that. A lot of lead in lipstick, yes.
Dr. Pompa:
Uh-huh. Exactly.
Meredith:
Now, why are they putting lead in lipstick? Itâd be in the pigment?
Dr. Pompa:
It smooths it out and makes it smooth.
Meredith:
Oh, the texture. Okay.
Dr. Pompa:
The texture.
Meredith:
Wow.
Dr. Pompa:
The BPA is absorbed whether itâs foundation, eye liner, especially these tissues around the eye are very absorbent. When youâre putting your make-up on, youâre absorbing that BPA, that hormone disruptor, right into your bloodstream. By the way, I donât remember â I think it was 32 things of lipstick that you eat per year, meaning that â
Meredith:
Oh, yeah. Youâre rubbing it in. You swallow it. Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
You ingesting that. Itâs some number like that. The amount of lead that you take in, and other chemicals, is huge.
Meredith:
Wow! Eating lead â wow.
Dr. Pompa:
Eating lead. They have nontoxic lipstick today, lip balm. Make-ups today, thereâs probably several that youâve used. Whole Foods â
Meredith:
Yeah. Plenty of options for natural make-up, so thereâs really no excuse.
Dr. Pompa:
Right. Yeah. Go natural, for sure.
Meredith:
Yeah. Wow.
Dr. Pompa:
Toxic beauty â give them some other hints. I donât know. Youâre the girl, not me -inaudible-.
Meredith:
Yeah. I get a lot of my make-up at Whole Foods, as well. I like the Gabriel brand. Iâve heard Rejuva and Afterglow are some other brands, as well. Thereâs plenty of options out there. You just have to look.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. I think that again, itâs one of those hidden sources that women, in particular, donât realize theyâre there.
Meredith:
Right.
Dr. Pompa:
Iâm going to try to remember them amount of â 516 or 518 chemicals women use in the morning. Two hundred-and-some of that 500 that theyâre using on average in the morning to start their daily regime â
Meredith:
Yeah. Itâs not just the make-up. Itâs the deodorant. Itâs the body products. Itâs the shampoo, the conditioner, nail polish.
Dr. Pompa:
Whatever daily routine theyâre doing â 518 chemicals. Two hundred-and-some cause cancer. Starting your day that way from your skin to your bloodstream. I always do this. Iâm going to steal your thing. We just talked about â and we have one more -inaudible-Â so weâre not done, but Iâm going to show this. I donât know if you can see this, folks. This is the bucket, remember?
Meredith:
Kind of hard to see.
Dr. Pompa:
We talked about inheriting your momâs lead or silver fillings, the mercury that comes off of fillings. Here we are, in utero. Thatâs the first exposure. Then we start vaccinating. Then we move into â we have toxic homes and all these other things. Then mold exposures, Iâm having trouble with it. All of these other cleaning products â everything weâre exposed to.
Meredith:
The bucket fills.
Dr. Pompa:
Then, one day, the bucket overflows, and then this is where our symptoms start. As weâre talking about these, we want to empty our buckets by true cellular detox, which, watch those episodes. We want to remove the toxins at the cellular level, but we also want to empty our buckets from whatâs coming in.
All these things that weâre talking about today are filling our bucket. We have to use true cellular detox to empty our bucket, but we want to stop the fill. There. Iâve messed you up.
Meredith:
Yep. No, thatâs good.
Dr. Pompa:
All right. Thereâs your -inaudible-.
Meredith:
Yeah.
Dr. Pompa:
I think itâs an easy illustration of as our bucket fills. Genetically, some people have bigger buckets. Some people have genetically smaller buckets.
Meredith:
We still have buckets, though.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely. Think of your cells, if thereâs 70 trillion cells, think about 70 trillion little buckets that eventually, once they get filled, now we start turning on our bad genes. The bucket overflows. Now we have no energy. Now weâre not sleeping as well. Now our hormones are disrupted. Now all these symptoms that we donât like start occurring. Really, thatâs what weâre seeing today as why so many people are sick today.
Meredith:
Hello.
Dr. Pompa:
Another customer, how are you?
Meredith:
Another customer. Hello. How are you?
Dr. Pompa:
Weâre just filming a show here live, a Cellular Healing TV show. We decided to do it live from our store today.
Customer:
Thatâs fine. I just have a -inaudible-.
Dr. Pompa:
Sure.
Meredith:
Okay, no problem.
Dr. Pompa:
Anyways, I think this was a good place to do this show because we carry most of these products.
Meredith:
We do.
Dr. Pompa:
We do have a quick bonus we have to talk about.
Meredith:
We do have the bonus.
Dr. Pompa:
We talked about it in the past show with Robby, and itâs electromagnetic frequencies.
Meredith:
The EMFs.
Dr. Pompa:
The EMFs â a.k.a. EMFs, which is â today, this is new, hidden toxin that we are all being exposed to. If your bucket is close to being full, and all of a sudden, youâre exposing yourself with your cell phone, this makes you very vulnerable to this electromagnetic frequency thatâs driving cellular inflammation. Itâs being linked to cancer, being linked to tumors, very, very dangerous. Again, who is it affecting? Those people that are exposed to a lot of other toxins.
Meredith:
Wow. They are everywhere. Electronics are everywhere, so we canât escape it.
Dr. Pompa:
Thatâs the point. We didnât put it in under your roof or under your nose because itâs both.
Meredith:
Itâs both.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. Right under your nose is your cell phone, and right under your roof is obviously the EMF thatâs coming from everything.
Meredith:
The electronics, computers, the TV, everything.
Dr. Pompa:
TVs everywhere, moving fans. We are exposed to levels that never have man been exposed to. It is a challenge. Itâs another reason why we have to keep these other toxins that we can control out of our life and out of our cells. It gives a reason why true cellular detox is so important and why youâd have to detox your life.
Meredith:
Yeah, R number 1.
Dr. Pompa:
Itâs R number 1, detox your life and detox your cells. If you havenât watched âTrue Cellular Detox,â weâve written articles about it, and weâve done many shows here about it. Thatâs real detox. Most detox out there is not real. If the person isnât telling you to clean up your life and stop the sources, then thatâs not a good one.
Meredith:
Itâs not real. Itâs not real detox.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, itâs not real. Exactly.
Meredith:
Wow. Just a little, quick recap. The five under your roof: Household cleaners; furniture, carpets, and appliances, number two; number three, water; number four, air, and number five, mold, the topic all on its own. Then the five toxins under your nose, we have food, number six; number seven is amalgam fillings; number eight, vaccines; number nine, plastics, and number 10, toxic beauty, so a lot here. You canât be expected to change overnight, but really, education and knowledge is power. Really just knowing that this is the first step, and slowing removing these things from your life is really when youâre going to see the changes in your health.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely. There you have it. I think this is one of the most important shows weâve done. Detox your life. I almost said, âDetox your wife,â just to be smart. Thatâs a good idea, too. Iâve done that.
Meredith:
Maybe that, too. If your wife is toxic â right?
Dr. Pompa:
Iâve done that. My wife had a lot of lead, which disrupted her hormones, so I detoxed my life, but most important thing I did was detox your wife.
Meredith:
There you go.
Dr. Pompa:
Wives, detox your husbands.
Meredith:
Yes â goes both ways.
Dr. Pompa:
Absolutely. Detox your life. We can at least tell you that.
Meredith:
All right, everybody, thanks for watching. Weâll see you next time. Go out there and detox your life. All right. Take care.
