216: Merily’s Journey with Lead Toxicity

Transcript of Episode 216: Merily's Journey with Lead Toxicity

With Dr. Daniel Pompa and Merily Pompa

Dr. Pompa:
You’re going to want to tune into this episode of Cell TV. We’re talking about lead and heavy metals. I interview the most special guest I’ve ever had on this show; that’s my wife, Merily. You’re going to hear her lead story and how years of detox, bringing out her lead, which she inherited from her mom who ended up dying of cancer, having many hormone challenges along the way, and hearing the positive side of the story. My wife, who didn’t end up that way, inherited her mother’s lead, which drove her hormone problems that very well could have and actually did end in cancer.

You’re going to hear that story on this episode. You’re going to more importantly hear what we did about it. I’m here in a different location. I’m live here in Boca Raton, Florida because I’m teaching doctors this principle of going upstream, removing the cause. That’s how you fix hormones. That’s how you make a lasting different in somebody’s life.

I’m here teaching doctors. I’ve had my wife here, and I wanted to really do this show for you. I tell in depth about what to do, about how to cycle, what real detox actually looks like. I even talk about some of the binders and chelators that are used incorrectly in detox and the mistakes that are made. I talk about why it’s important to learn this process, which you’re going to hear and learn a lot on this show.

Stay tuned. This is a show you’re going to want to share. This is absolutely a show you don’t want to miss because this is why many of you don’t feel well, your hormones aren’t working well, don’t have energy, can’t sleep through the night. You’re going to hear our story on that.

You’re going to hear some really funny stuff too because when Merily and I get together on these shows, the truth comes out. Hear what she was eating in college when we met 27 years ago. You’re going to hear that on the show. Stay tuned. Can’t wait. See you there.

Welcome to Cell TV. I’m here, special guest, the most special of all, my wife, Merily. We are actually in Boca Raton, Florida starting my seminar here in Boca Raton. We have 250 doctors showing up to learn about a topic, at least part of a topic today. That’s kind of why I wanted to do this show from here because I’ve been really passionate on this topic.

I have to say, you’re going to hear Merily’s story in a moment about how lead changed our life forever and our kids. Many of you out there could not feel well, hormone problems, and even leading to cancer because that is part of Merily’s story as well. Lead is that disruptive. Most of you may not know it.

As a matter of fact, lead comes out at certain times of your life, puberty. You’ll hear that about my son’s part of this story as well. Perimenopause, menopause, there’s multiple different times where the lead actually comes out. The reason that is is because it’s stored in the bone. You’re going to hear about that.

I have to say this; most of you know my story, and it’s a mercury story. One of the messages that I’m going to be talking about and teaching doctors this weekend is that they’re looking in the wrong place. As a matter of fact, I’m going to play a video. You get to actually hear a little bit of the video.

One of the top scientists in heavy metals actually by accident spilled two drops of mercury on her gloved hand. Granted, it was dimethylmercury, so it’s a very organic mercury that goes right into our nerve tissue. This is what these heavy metals do. She did this, and weeks later she started exhibiting symptoms.

She ignored it at first, and then she ended up checking herself into the emergency room when she literally started walking into walls. They did a blood test, and it was 4,000 times the level of mercury. Granted, she had exposures, which they did point out, throughout many times in her life. This was a massive exposure that sent her blood level up.

What they did is they put her on DMSA, which is a chelator that works very well to clear out the body and the blood pretty quickly. Within some days on, the blood level was already going down. Bottom line is they got her blood level to normal, but the question in the video is why didn’t she feel better yet? It’s because it went into her brain, and they point that out in the video. This poor woman that they call KW actually ended up dying because of the mercury that went into her brain very quickly.

The point is don’t chase blood levels. Don’t chase urine levels of mercury. The stuff goes deep into the brain, and that’s going to be part of my message. In the case of lead, it goes into the nerve tissue and it goes into the bone. The point is don’t chase blood or mercury levels, especially mercury. It’s easy to get out of the blood.

The problem is it has such an affinity for nerve tissue. Lead, on the other hand, we can actually see progressively go down because it’s so in the body because it’s in the bone. As a matter of fact, show them the picture. Do you have that up? I want to show you a picture.

It’s been years of taking lead out. Lead actually takes longer to get out of the body than mercury does. As a matter of fact, one of my pet peeves is the fact that practitioners will say just do this mercury detox, and they do it for a few months, oftentimes less than a few months. They think that they were cleared of mercury. No, you cleared the urine. You cleared the blood.

It takes years to get this stuff out of the brain. It took me years. I did brain phases for at least four years. Then I still do them even to this day more randomly. Lead, they estimate takes 15 years to get it out because that’s how deep it is.

Merily:
I prefer to show you this one because my puppies are in it.

Dr. Pompa:
You can’t see it. You have to go really close. See all those tests on the floor amongst the dogs? Those are her tests that we’ve done over the years.

Merily:
My son, Daniel, has four across the bottom. We were comparing mine to his.

Dr. Pompa:
That’s a great point because my son started high as well. His last test was normal, but one of the times when he was going through puberty, he started getting this injury. We couldn’t figure it out. He actually had a scholarship at Sugar Bowl Academy, and he was injured. He wasn’t able to ski.

They took him to their best people, and we were taking him to chiropractors and other people and trying to get opinions on what’s going on, why he wasn’t healing. Then it clicked. Oh, my gosh. He’s going through puberty. The bone remodels and out comes the lead.

Sure enough, we did a test, and then it went back up from the time that we cleared him when he was young of the lead. Because he went through puberty, the lead came back out. It was keeping his body from healing normally. This happens all the time, and people don’t understand.

Let’s back up. We have Merily here as our special guest. Your story tells a great lesson. Many people out there have your problem, and they don’t know it. Your lead levels started extremely high.

If you saw where they started – by the way, in those things, when we first started detoxing her, they actually went up higher. You started at 69, and then it went to 110. Then it’s progressively come down. Where did you get most of your lead?

Merily:
From my mom and whatever environment I lived in, which was an old farmhouse with lead pipes, sat in gas lines, chewed on my green crib, lead paint because that was the 60s. I was born in the 60s, and I don’t think the house had ever been painted in years.

Dr. Pompa:
Any house built before 1978 has lead, even if they paint over it.

Merily:
It was early 1900's.

Dr. Pompa:
One of the talks that I’ve been giving this year is that we all grew up in the lead generation. Our parents grew up in the lead generation. It’s four generations of lead is the point that I make to people. We all have this. It’s in us.

At these opportune times when your body loses bone, out comes the lead. Lead in particular is stored in the bone. That’s what happened. Briefly tell your mom’s story because she led a life of unhealthy. I would say it affected her brain multiple ways. I would say it affected her hormones multiple ways, leading to cancer. Tell that story.

Merily:
Interestingly, my mom wasn’t a sickly person. Not at all unless you really knew what to look for or understood what happens with neurotoxins. You wouldn’t think for a minute that she was really sick at all, and that’s the point.

Dr. Pompa:
That’s many people watching. That is the point.

Merily:
Long story short, when she did develop breast cancer when she was 50 and when they did that lumpectomy and radiation and 10 years later developed uterine cancer, that is why. That is where it all came from. Then it was the traditional process until that didn’t work. Then it was trying to do the alternatives, which just was too late.

Dr. Pompa:
She ended up with breast cancer. She was considered a success story there because they went and removed everything, gave her chemo, the whole deal. I told her, “You better get to the cause, otherwise it’s going to come back.” “Well, my doctor said it’s not an estrogen problem. They looked at my estrogen. It’s fine.”

They didn’t look at her estrogen metabolites, which is a toxic byproduct of breaking down estrogen. There’s one called 4-hydroxyestrone that Merily’s came back smoking high. Merily definitely had some hormone challenges at this point. Again, not any different than most of the world.
Merily:
I think that’s what I keep hearing. I don’t care why things aren’t working. If they’re not working, there’s a reason. Whether or not you’re categorized and put into this category or that category, it’s almost irrelevant. You just need to get to the root cause of why did that disruption occur in the first place.

Dr. Pompa:
We’re probably going to get into a fight here right on camera, but she would take horse pills.

Merily:
I know what’s coming.

Dr. Pompa:
This is 27 years ago.

Merily:
I should have had plenty of time to prepare for a comeback.

Dr. Pompa:
I smile because I love her so much, 28 years with this woman. She was taking these horse pills the week before her period. I was like what do you mean you’re in bed? She would take these horse pills.

Merily:
That’s another story.

Dr. Pompa:
She had severe allergies, which she doesn’t have now, but she would be in bed twice a year. Her eyes would pop out. She’d have the things over her face.

Merily:
By the way, he was already rubbing off on me because I would not take anything for my allergies, and I didn’t have bad allergies. They weren’t that bad until we moved south. Then the green pollen coated the cars, and that’s when they were bad. Because I knew better than to take anything, I would just stay in bed for five days.

Dr. Pompa:
Who does that?

Merily:
Me. I was committed to the lifestyle at this point.

Dr. Pompa:
When I went in her kitchen when I first met her –

Merily:
Now we go back two years to the beginning.

Dr. Pompa:
Sorry, there’s a jet flying over.

Merily:
1991 probably when we met. No, 1989.

Dr. Pompa:
I became a Christian in 1991.

Merily:
It was 1989, and you would come to my apartment, and I had many good things.

Dr. Pompa:
Oodles of noodles, Snyder’s hard pretzels, and peanut butter.

Merily:
Potatoes in a box.

Dr. Pompa:
That’s what I found in her cabinet. Here’s me; I’m going no wonder.

Merily:
I’m about to defend myself.

Dr. Pompa:
You’re going to spill that on me.

Merily:
I went out to dinner every night. I only ate things that I could eat in a hurry.

Dr. Pompa:
I grew up on home cooked meals. We’re regressing. We could probably just have that whole conversation. The bottom line is this; she ended up with some hormone issues.

Let’s finish your mom’s story, and I do want to make a point here. Her mom ten years later, that’s the problem is they go in and do their thing. Then ten years later they get a different cancer when you don’t get to the cause. That’s exactly what happened.

Of course, they say there’s no association, which is what they said. She ended up with uterine cancer, and unfortunately she died two years later. She never got to the cause. Merily got to – sorry, another jet.

Merily:
They’re all coming in for the seminar.

Dr. Pompa:
Obviously, we did it different. We had a scare. She’ll probably come up with the year, but you were stage 4, which was stage away from full-blown cervical cancer.

Merily:
It was right after we got married, 1997.

Dr. Pompa:
Back then we didn’t run the test. It was years later we actually ran the 24-hour hormone test, which is the hormone test that I recommend because it shows these estrogen metabolites that can be extremely toxic that do, in fact, drive these cancers, breast cancers, etc. Her 4- hydroxyestrone was through the roof. Let’s back up now because we got this diagnosis. We ended up going in. You tell the story because it was you. You know it best.

Merily:
They told me I needed to do a colposcopy and take a tissue sample. When they did that, it came back with what degree of cancer/pre-cancer it was at that point. They wanted me to –

Dr. Pompa:
He was basically saying it’s cancer. It’s bad cells.

Merily:
They wanted to take it out, that portion of tissue. Obviously, we said no and assessed our options, which was we decided I would fast. You were reading a lot about fasting at the time.

Dr. Pompa:
I was studying fasting years ago, so this was it. This was the time we’ll put the power to it. The doctor basically said you’ll be back. I remember that comment to this day because I left there infuriated. Now I’m like you’re going to fast. We’re going to show him.

We never went back at all, so we never showed him anything. That’s unfortunate. The bottom line is that fast was the start of her transformation. It took care of itself. The body healed itself. You went for Pap smear, Pap smear, and each time it was getting better.

Merily:
I went every three months for nine months to a year. Every time it improved.

Dr. Pompa:
Merily fasted 12 days. She was the original faster. I’m learning about fasting and then when I saw what happened to her way back when, I became a believer in fasting. However, it led to later still seeing some hormone things going on and took a hormone test and saw the hydroxyestrone elevated, hormone disregulation.

Then, of course, we were trying to raise up something called methylation because methylation pathways – and I don’t want to lose you here – part of what this does is it gets rid of toxic estrogen. Her methylation on the test, which is one of the things this test looks at, was tanked. When you look at what depletes it, stress of any type, physical, chemical, or emotional, her super high lead levels was keeping her methylation down. Indirectly the lead was driving cancer and other hormone problems in many ways just like mercury or any toxic heavy metal can do.

The bottom line is we were trying to improve the methylation, and we really didn’t see much improvement on the test at first because the lead was still too high. As the lead started coming out, then the methylation started improving. Her last two hormone tests were very good, spot on. That’s in a nutshell, your story to what we’d like to hear. What else did I forget?

Merily:
Nothing. I think it’s just been a journey. That’s the first thing to not expect. You do the right things, and you can’t just expect within a year or two years that you’re going to see the result that you’re looking for. That’s just not how it works. In fact, I had I don’t know how many pages –

Dr. Pompa:
You don’t have to test that often. I’m Mr. Experimental. We were doing different things, which I’m going to talk about.

Merily:
I have been pulling lead out for ten years. There were times when I didn’t run a test for two years, and then there were times when I was running a test over the course of a year quarterly or every six months.

Dr. Pompa:
I want to show a point there. I wish we actually had the test where at home I would show it. The one actually spiked back up, and this was some years later. It’s because you went some years without detoxing for awhile.

Merily:
I think I might have went a year to a year and a half. I don’t think I did more than that, but based on the numbers and based on how I felt –

Dr. Pompa:
People would say I feel good. I did it when I was detoxing.

Merily:
I wasn’t noticing much during a cycle. Everybody’s different, but when I would detox, day two I would get very tired. That was always kind of my thing. I’m glad I’m doing this. With mercury, I would know when he needed to detox because mercury affects the brain. With lead, it’s not like I’m anxious. I’m not angry. I had a different set of symptoms.

Dr. Pompa:
There’s a little different set of symptoms.

Merily:
When I would go back into detox after not doing it for awhile, I realize I needed to do this.

Dr. Pompa:
You would always say oh, my God. I’m sleeping so much better.

Merily:
Yes, after every cycle and even in the cycle. It’s kind of like fasting for me. When I would fast and after a fast, I sleep amazing.

Dr. Pompa:
To her point with me, she would always be the one that would say – this was after some years of doing mercury detox. She would say you need a cycle. I don’t need a cycle. She was looking at my irritability and probably some other things. Finally I would start a cycle.

Within hours of starting a heavy metal detox cycle, I would be like she was right. It’s like someone turned the lights on. You don’t realize that the lights are going off. Many of you watching this believe me. You probably don’t realize that the lights are down until they come up. Then you’re like I was sitting in darkness.

The bottom line is that I know this to be a fact. Every one of you watching are affected by heavy metals. We grew up in the lead generation and the mercury generation. Our kids got it all because the number of fillings you have in your mouth, according to the -inaudible- study, Tagum study is proportional to how much is in the baby’s brain in utero, so mouth to baby’s brain in utero. That’s mercury.

Of course, other toxins from mom goes into the baby in utero. Of course, we’ve talked about the lead. Mom is the number one source of lead. Again, it’s stored up only to become problematic as we end up with other sources like Merily had and I had later in life. My fillings became even a bigger issue to a bucket that started filling in utero.

Let me talk a little bit about what we did. This is more about lead than it is about mercury, but a lot of the protocols are the same. DMSA is a chelator that has what is called a -inaudible- or thiol group on it with a sulfur and hydrogen and has two of these that grab on really well. DMSA is water soluble, so it doesn’t get into the brain or the bone, so you’re just kind of clearing every once in awhile. That’s why we do cycles.

You would do four to seven days on. You would do seven to ten days off. Sometimes we took even more time off, especially as we got down later. We’d take a month off, and then we’d be consistent. Two months off, be consistent. This was a process that we did.

DMSA has a great affinity for lead. We didn’t have CytoDetox back then. We used DMSA, which has to be used – if you haven’t read my articles, there’s three, “When Detox is Dangerous.” Please read those. As a matter of fact, you’ll see some old-time videos when we probably look a whole lot younger.

I don’t know when that was, maybe four or five years ago. We look a little younger. We did some videos on this as well. It has to be taken every four hours under its half-life, and you have to take it for at least three days. Those are rules. I talk about that in the article.

-inaudible- practitioners give it once a day, even every other day; big mistake. There’s another chelator called DMPS that has to be taken every eight hours. You have to take it under its half-life, otherwise you get redistribution of metals. That’s why we want to keep the blood level up so it prevents any redistribution.

Merily:
That wasn’t really a great chelator for lead anyway.

Dr. Pompa:
The DMPS wasn’t. The DMSA definitely was. You took DMSA mostly, then we were doing suppository EDTA.

Merily:
Which, by the way, I love.

Dr. Pompa:
You would say when we added EDTA, which does a great job of moving it out of the bone –

Merily:
That’s when I would sleep great, especially great. I want to get some of that.

Dr. Pompa:
It does a great job bringing it out of the bone, but it doesn’t do a great job at bringing it out of the body completely. We even match it with DMSA. We do the EDTA at night, the DMSA every four hours during the day. It was a combination that worked amazing for you, which is a combination I’ve been reading studies and just realized this is actually combination that would work great, and it did.

Today we do a very similar protocol with the CytoDetox because CytoDetox, some of the particles cross into the membranes in the cell and the blood brain barrier, and some are bigger and don’t. It works great to help minimize any redistribution. It can be combined with the DMSA if used correctly. Some of those, even the EDTA, using multiple binders within the system – I want to make a really important point – of true cellular detox.

If you haven’t watched these shows, go back and watch them on my multi-therapeutic approach or true cellular detox. We have them. You have to upregulate cell function. Again, a mistake most people make in detox. -inaudible-, methylation, the cell membrane, the energy of the cell, all of those are part of my five Rs of how to upregulate the natural detox of the cell. Real detox happens here.

We’re upregulating the cell and its functions to naturally detox. That’s where it has to happen. We’re using these real binders and chelators that I just mentioned around it to make sure that the toxins go all the way from the cell out of the body.

Then we use another real binder with multiple binders that stays in the gut. It’s called Bind. That one prevents retoxification from the gut back into the body, cell, real chelators to make sure it goes all the way out of the body, real binders in the gut. That’s a process that I teach. That’s the process I’m going to be teaching this weekend here in Boca.

Then we have it in phases. We prepare the body. Then we have a body phase – those jets are literally right over the top of us. The body phase is where we’re getting the easy-to-get toxins. We’re not going deep into the bone or the brain or the other organs.

Then the brain phase is where we actually go deeper. Then we use something called Brain DTX, which has an active ingredient of specific alpha lipoic acid in it. In the case of Brain DTX it’s -inaudible- ginkgo. It pulls it deeper into the brain and there lies the magic. Now you’re using a fat soluble chelator that’s able to move it out of those deeper tissues.

EDTA does a good job of that as well. That’s why using these multiple different binders, upregulating cell function, and binding it so you don’t reabsorb and cycle it; week on, week on, four on, three on even, maybe four days off. Cycles are different for everyone, and I want to point that out, the doses. This is why people need coaches right here. The doses are different for everybody. The cycle length can be different for everybody.

Some people do better with longer cycles. There were times when we both did better with longer cycles. Some people do better with higher doses because it minimizes redistribution. Some people can only take fractions of a dose like small amounts of milligrams. Some people have to take things more frequently than others, and we’ve been through that all.

By the way, it changes where some people don’t do well on a cycle in the beginning. After a period of time, they do better on cycle than off cycle. You’re better off staying on a little longer. When you’re not doing good on cycle, you’re better staying on a cycle a little less. There’s so many rules of engagement there. If you read those articles, I think you’ll come to some realization. There’s a lot here.

Merily:
You don’t know what those rules are until you dive in, honestly. You have to experiment.

Dr. Pompa:
That’s why most of you listening need a doctor or practitioner who understands this, especially if you have health challenges.

Merily:
It’s not just detox.

Dr. Pompa:
I want to put a caution out there.

Merily:
That’s the other thing. It’s not just detox.

Dr. Pompa:
It’s a multi-therapeutic approach. I always tell people, especially very challenged people who call and talk to Merily most often, a perfect diet won’t get you well at this point where you’re at in your health. You won’t get well without a perfect diet. You need these things to control the inflammation. When I work with somebody, literally my goal is to teach them this process that I’m describing to you. If you don’t learn it, you won’t do this long enough to matter.

Merily:
Interestingly, it takes probably six to seven months sometimes to figure out what that person’s rhythm is because there’s so many complicating factors that need addressed until you get to that point. There’s just so much that goes into it. I think it’s so important that if someone is sick and challenged, you can’t just go out there and do it on your own and follow certain rules because the rules are always changing, especially when there’s something that is upstream and that is needing addressed. It really takes that level of experience and expertise to dial that in, but to set someone up for long term when they’re ready.

Dr. Pompa:
That’s the key is to set somebody up.

Merily:
You can take what’s been implemented and run with it. You know your rhythm by then. Like me, I don’t need his direction now to detox. I get it.

I know what I need to do. I know when my body feels well. I know when I can experiment and when I need to pull back. I have confidence in that.

Dr. Pompa:
All my kids know as well. By the way, I didn’t finish that story, which I will. Remind me to do that. One thing that I’m going to be telling doctors this weekend is that very thing. Your job is to teach the person the process. It’s years, not months.

If you’re just treating them, they’re not going to get treated long enough to matter. If you’re teaching them – by the way, that’s what doctor actually means – now you’re empowering them to continue something that’s going to take years. Now you’re empowering them. That’s how you change a life.

Merily:
I would say that’s the frustrating thing for us in this business is that so many people think I’ve done this detox protocol or my natural health practitioner told me this. Either they don’t fully understand or they’re not fully invested. It is not just this. It is this and a whole lot of that. You have to really do it the right way and have respect for that journey.

Dr. Pompa:
To use you as the example, with some of the hormone challenges she had, we had to extra support our methylation pathways. Certain fats were really very critical, which I’m teaching on this weekend, the importance of the cell membrane not just for detox but for hormones. It was hugely important.

Merily:
People get sidetracked. They say I have this or that, and it’s just not an issue. It really isn’t the issue. The issue is just having an understanding of how to do the right things and how to do them long enough and continuing that course. Yes, you might have these weaknesses.

For me, I did. I took a methyl donor because I lacked there, but there was a time when I knew I didn’t need to do that anymore either. It was not working to my benefit. There’s things that you just have to have an understanding of the big picture. You also have to be open to the fact that maybe some of the experiences that you’ve had to date, maybe they’ve been okay, but maybe they haven’t been okay.

Whatever that may be, you just really have to understand and find and have respect for the person that’s leading you through this process and setting you up. As I tell people, you’re paying tuition. You’re learning a process that’s invaluable. What’s the worth at the end of the day to know that the person and the practitioner that you’re working with really understands this and will set you up for that long-term success? It is years. As you see, I have literally been pulling lead out for over a decade.

Dr. Pompa:
It comes out at different times. I don’t even know if I made that point. She actually took that time off chelating, and then we saw the lead come up again. I can’t remember if we saw certain symptoms. Maybe I told her you need to detox again. I don’t know.

Merily:
I think it was just a matter of I should just test and see what’s happened.

Dr. Pompa:
We did, and we’re like it’s spiked a little bit. Not nearly where it was before, but it spiked back up because she had gone some time without detoxing. That’s the point is once you learn the process, then you’re able to do this because you’re going to run into it where it comes out again. I’ve spoken to people so many times.
I detoxed years ago. I had my amalgam filling out. I did this detox years ago. That was years ago. It’s now moved from higher concentration, deeper tissues, back out, and you’re feeling the symptoms. It’s when it comes back out you start getting a lot of symptoms.

Merily:
I went through the childbearing years, dumped all my lead into my kids.

Dr. Pompa:
With every child you lose lead too. It goes into the child.

Merily:
With the first child, he got the worst of me.

Dr. Pompa:
That was Daniel who went through the ski camp.

Merily:
Daniel is a savvy detoxer. He really knows himself. He dials himself in. He actually tells Danny I did this. I did that. Dad, this worked. That didn’t work. He’s so confident. The kid is not even 20 years old yet, and he’s been at this, and he’s obviously interested in maximizing himself.

Dr. Pompa:
All of our kids are very savvy at it, Olivia, Izik. Dylan’s back in it now.

Merily:
Dylan has to be more of an experimenter, but I think that’s just the personality.

Dr. Pompa:
I would say all but Simon, who we can’t get to do much. That’s another story.

Merily:
I have a test for him at home, and Izik actually brought his test here. He’s going to be testing today.

Dr. Pompa:
Izik’s levels, that’s our second child, I always show his at my seminar.

Merily:
He had higher mercury. The reason he had higher mercury is because – so I knew enough. I knew a little bit to know that I needed to get the mercury out of my mouth. I had five amalgam fillings. I actually began that process not knowing as much as we know now, so foolishly I took out two amalgam fillings. I can’t remember.

Dr. Pompa:
I think it was one at that point.

Merily:
I think I needed to get it redone. I was nursing, so I pumped a load of milk.

Dr. Pompa:
I don’t even remember how you ended up with just one left.

Merily:
I just waited until I was done nursing to get the other ones out. I needed to get one replaced. I think it was the one I just ended up getting a crown on last month. It needed to be replaced. We redid that one. I dumped one load of milk, one batch of milk, and went on my merry way. Low and behold, Izik is the one because of that time when I had that work done that he ended up with the highest mercury of my kids.

Dr. Pompa:
I will say this too on testing mercury. There’s no perfect test at all. Lead is easier to test for on these challenge urine tests. That’s the type of test we’re doing. Mercury is very difficult.

The reason it’s very difficult is because it’s in the brain. We’re only able to look at a reflection. Mercury moves out of the easy-to-get tissues very quickly and goes deep. It’s hard to find it on a test. Again, we look at your history and the different symptoms somebody has and different exposures they’ve had through their lifetime as probably a better indicator oftentimes.
Silver fillings contain 50% mercury. If you have these fillings, you have mercury in your brain. That’s what studies show. The key here is don’t just go get these fillings out, please. Read those articles.

There’s a preparatory phase that we do first. There’s a proper to remove them. It was days after I got two fillings out that all of my problems and symptoms started, and unexplainably. I didn’t find out until years later that it was that. Unfortunately, I suffered for four years, not understanding what the heck was going on. Don’t make the mistake.

By the way, don’t make this mistake. I got my fillings out years ago. Here’s another problem; when you do that, the metal will start to actually mobilize. The moment those fillings comes out, it’s even more important to detox or I hear this; I got my fillings out and I detoxed. How long? Three months. No, it’s years getting it out of the deep tissue and the brain.

If you got them out in the past, you potentially have more problems. A lot of people get them out in the week that we call honeymoon period where they’re circulating mercury drops and they actually feel better for some months. Then six, nine months later they start to get new symptoms. They start to get sick again, but they don’t remember that it was this. I call it the honeymoon period.

All of a sudden they’re sick again, thinking I took care of my amalgam. Now what’s wrong? It’s still here. It turns into mercury vapor, and it turns to inorganic mercury in the brain where it’s locked for life unless you use the proper agents to actually remove that out with the proper system to do it.

Once sensitive to one neurotoxin, you become sensitive to all. Now you become sensitive to mold. I couldn’t get rid of my Candida. It hides and protects itself in and around the mercury. It hides from the immune system, if you will.

I would knock back parasites at times. I would knock back Candida. It would come back. Once I got my mercury down to a certain point, then I was able to actually beat those pathogens back. Oftentimes the pathogens are downstream.
I want to say one more word in closing here. One of my big things that I’m going to deal with with doctors this weekend is the fact that they’re not looking upstream far enough. To truly get people well today, you hear the testimonies. As a matter of fact, I have how many patients?

Merily:
I think five.

Dr. Pompa:
I have five clients coming to this seminar that got their life back and now are doing this. They want to learn more so they can actually help people, two of which onstage are giving their testimony. Again, you would hear the story of they did all of this perfect stuff. They ate the perfect diet. They did this, but they still didn’t have their life back.

The message is this; they never got upstream far enough to the cause. Many of these doctors coming are very into functional medicine. They run a lot of tests. They’re very privy at how to do that. However, if you don’t remove the lead; if you don’t remove the mercury; if you don’t remove these hidden infections, which I’m going to talk about cavitations, another massive hidden infection in root canals that is why people are sick; you don’t remove or get yourself out of a mold exposure; if you don’t look to the cause, then you’re just wasting people’s time and money. That’s the message.

Alternative medicine today, my biggest critique is the fact that doctors are not going upstream. One of the messages when they hear these stories of these clients of mine, they’re going to hear this; they’re going to hear that number one, I did all these other things. What was the difference? They got upstream.

I was going to make another point, and then I actually forgot it. There was such a good point in there. The bottom line is that you have to get upstream to the cause. When you get upstream to the cause, that’s really the trick. That’s what’s been missing. We’re doing a Cell TV right now.

Merily:
Here comes Warren. Hi. I guess it’s time to check out.

Dr. Pompa:
It’s time. I hope you heard this message. We’re going to check out. Say hello. These are Warren’s little girls. Aren’t they cute? This is -inaudible-. This is [40:34]. Say hi.

Merily:
It’s kind of like having the doodles.

Dr. Pompa:
Usually these are our doodles popping up in our laps when we’re doing the show. There you go. There’s a lot of lessons for you. Read those articles.

Merily:
It’s a family affair, as you already know. Warren’s my cousin. You know his story too.

Dr. Pompa:
We’re here training doctors. Warren teaches them how to market and get this message out, which we need to do. Love and appreciate all of you.

Merily:
Bye, everybody, from sunny Florida.
