Dr. Pompa:
Episode of Cell TV—look, I’m not a big fan of doing nutritional testing for allergies, food allergies, food sensitivities. Why? So many of them are inaccurate. I think there’s some truth to the severe allergies, but what if there’s a way to test yourself? It’s definitely cheaper, maybe more accurate—but anyways, this guest on Cell TV is going to tell you how you can do that, how you can test yourself. I think it’s pretty interesting, the method. Obviously, she’s been doing this for quite some time. Also, we’re going to go upstream. Her and I both believe that the body has an ability to heal itself.
We’re going to talk about some of these things that you may not have heard of that could be interfering with your body healing itself, one of which we dive in deeply to some of the emotional stuff. What’s in your subconscious? Could some of your early childhood traumas that you don’t even remember be stopping you from healing, or even causing your symptoms or disease? The answer is yes, but wait until you see her take on it, and even her method of what to do about it. You’re going to have to stay tuned to this episode of Cell TV.
Ashley:
—hearing about the mind, body, soul connection. Our guest today is Elena Bensenoff, who’s a pioneer in the field of functional and energy medicine who’s been sharing her gift of healing for over 20 years. She founded wholistic.com and is the author of the book Wholistic Wisdom. Elena is a clinical pharmacist and has an award-winning natural skincare line as well. You can read more about her in our show notes. Let’s get started, and welcome Dr. Pompa and Elena Bensenoff to the show. Welcome, both of you.
Dr. Pompa:
Awesome—thanks for being here, Elena. Actually, I’m looking forward to this topic because you and I resonate on something together. That’s the fact that our bodies are ultimately the physician. They have the ability to heal themselves. My wife and I live our lives this way—remove the interference, the body can heal. That’s how I got myself well. I think you have some unique strategy here that I want to hear about., that you’ve written in a book and you’ve dedicated your life to. Before we get into all that, you’ve got to tell me your story. How did you get into all this?
Elena:
Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your show and share my story. How did I begin? Of course, as a little girl growing up in Soviet Union, I always had a vision and a dream that I wanted to heal and all of the people that I loved around me. I wanted my loved ones to live forever. That was a dream that began when I was four years old. Then I moved to United States and I decided to pursue medical career, not really knowing that that was probably not what I wanted to do. I began as a pharmacist. We moved to Florida about 20 years ago, and I actually became sick. I lived in a house. At that time, I didn’t realize it was infested with mold.
Also, I did not have the realization at that moment that also diet played a huge role and stress sin what was happening to me. What was happening is, I could not breathe. I actually ended up having to find a pulmonologist because I could not only not inhale; I couldn’t exhale. I remember going to a pulmonologist. He said, “We have to check you into the hospital. Your lung function is less than 25 percent capacity.” At that time, I had my oldest son. I have four children. He also was suffering from severe eczema and allergies.
Dr. Pompa:
Same house—he was in the same house. Yeah, how old was he, did you say, in that mold house?
Elena:
He was a baby, infant. He was covered in eczema from head to toe. I remember he was on prednisone. Anyway, the pulmonologist told me that I would have to be—I said I didn’t want to go to the hospital. He said, “Okay, you’ll get injections and all kinds of nebulizer treatments. You have to be on six medications for the rest of your life.” I was in my early 20s. I remember thinking, this is definitely not the life I want to live. That was the beginning of my journey in understanding how our environment, what I ate, and how I felt actually influenced what was happening to me and my son. Of course, I got myself off of all of the medications. I’ve been asthma-free for just over 17 years now.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, I’ve seen mold ruin a lot of lives. It’s an evil thing. I hate mold. I hate mold illness. I’m going to be honest with you. Mold illness—even when people get out of the exposure, and even do my cellular detox and get it out of the body, they’re still left with damage, neurologically, immune, their immune systems. You’ve obviously tapped into some really amazing things because you look very healthy. It sounds like you’re very healthy now, and your son is, too. I always want to know. I want to know everything anybody did, so it might be of use to listeners. We want to know everything you did.
Elena:
I changed my diet. I cut down the gluten. I never really ate sugar, but I did eat a lot of fruit. I always thought fruit was important. I was consuming a lot of fruit. Definitely, I still eat fruit. I would eat berries, but not in the amounts that I used to eat. Sugar, dairy, all the baked goods are definitely contributing to an imbalance in our gut and overall health. Then over the years, what I found working with many people is, a lot of people who are vegans—I find this is a huge issue— is a lot of vegans have gut imbalances, have overgrowth of candida and fungus in their system. There’s so many correlations that I began to put together. The other thing that happened is I began to study functional medicine 12 years ago.
At the same time, I worked in a diabetes clinic. I remember having patients that were on 17 medications a day. Even at that point, I thought, how can you take 17 medications a day? I remember having to make calls to some of these people and ask them if there’s anything that they’re doing to change their lifestyle, their diet. They said that their doctor told them it was not correlated in any way, so they didn’t think it was important. That was a huge light bulb for me that something had to be done. That was the beginning of my greater journey, which brought me to where I am today.
Dr. Pompa:
What are some of the other things that you did that are most likely in your book? Admittedly, I didn’t read your book. I knew you sent it to me and I didn’t get it yet. Yes, I did not get it yet. I saw the cover because it was shown to me. I’m looking around like, okay, I said that, but I’ve been gone for two weeks, so it could have shown up in my two-week travels. Don’t worry, we will find it. I just want to be honest, but I am actually curious. In your book—hold your book up, just so everyone can see it. There it is.
Elena:
My book—I break it down into three parts. The first part is the body. I felt it’s really important for people to understand and have the right tools to really heal themselves and not just rely on a lab test, which are not always accurate, and then what other people are telling you. There’s ways that I teach to tap into your own innate intelligence, which every human being has.
Dr. Pompa:
We’re going to talk about that. Go ahead. What’s the next section.
Elena:
The first part is the body. I teach people how to heal themselves with food insensitivities. In less than one minute from reading this, you’ll be able to tell if you have food sensitivity to something or not.
Dr. Pompa:
We want to know that. What else?
Elena:
That’s important because it causes inflammation in the body. I talk about adrenal fatigue and the importance of supporting adrenals. I talk about detoxification on a physical level, cellular level, and then diet. What foods are important to integrate as organic, and which ones are not so important? Which ingredients are toxic to our system? Our skin is our largest organ, so it’s important what we also apply on our skin topically. Part two of the book is the mind and emotions, being emotionally clear.
I teach people how to find out what emotions are out of balance. Also, in less than a minute, you can find out what emotion is locked for you. Emotional imbalance is the root cause of every disease. This is covered later on, and how to clear yourself from toxic people in your life—that’s also important for your boundaries.
Dr. Pompa:
That’s huge.
Elena:
Part three of the book is all about the soul, the different energetic doorways, as I call them, the soul doorways that you can tap into and see what is out of balance. All of those have correlations to our physical existence, to our emotions. It’s important to become, I would say, an investigator in your own life, in your own house, in your own well-being, and recognize that our higher self, or our bigger self, has way of communicating to us in such powerful ways, of course, through emotions. A lot of times, we can block them and not listen. Then the messages become louder in the form of physical symptoms.
Dr. Pompa:
Mm-hmm, I love teaching people practical things. Your book will go into much greater detail. In fact, where can they get the book? Is it on Amazon?
Elena:
Amazon is Kindle version, and wholistic.com has the hard copy.
Dr. Pompa:
Okay, great. What’s your website, so they can get it there?
Elena:
Yes, wholistic.com, w-h-o.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, you said it. Let’s give them something practical here. Let’s start with the first part. How can people test themselves for food allergies tapping into that inner wisdom? Walk us through that.
Elena:
There’s definitely something that I teach. It has to do with—there’s a difference between food allergies and food sensitivities. An allergic response is something that can happen 24 to 48 hours later, and sometimes even longer. [11:25] protein, for example, in [11:27], people will have a response a week later a lot of times. I break it down into 12 different food groups, food sensitivities. I teach people how to muscle test themselves.
Dr. Pompa:
Show me.
Elena:
Okay, here we go. There’s different techniques. First, it’s about centering yourself—inhale, exhale.
Dr. Pompa:
Be descriptive because many people don’t’ watch this. They listen. They download the podcast, so be descriptive.
Elena:
Definitely, so first, it’s very important to be centered because we don’t want to have chaos in our mind. In the book, there’s a chart. It looks like a wheel. I’m going to show it to you. It’s a wheel. When you look at it, it’s important to not look at the second page of the book. In this wheel, there is a way that you can test and find out what foods your sensitive to. One of the things you can do first is you need to figure out what your yes and your no is. Have you ever before?
Dr. Pompa:
I have, not particularly the way you’re going to do it, but my audience perhaps hasn’t.
Elena:
Yes, first thing to do is to get centered. Number two is not put any judgments of what you’re doing. First, we’re going to create two O shapes with our fingers. We’re going to loop them together and create an infinity sign, a figure eight. Now you’re going to say, my name is – and I’m going to say my name. My name is Elena. Try to pull your fingers apart. My fingers stay strong, so that’s a yes. I’m going to say someone else’s name. Let’s say my name is Susan, which is not my name. My name is Susan, and my fingers come apart, so that’s a no.
That’s a weakness. It’s showing a weakness in the body. Here’s the thing. We’re actually testing our subconscious mind. We’re bypassing all the filters that we’ve created, all the judgments, and we’re going directly into what our body has to say.
Dr. Pompa:
Do you find that people that have trouble with it, like myself, we’re too stuck in our conscious minds?
Elena:
Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
I know that to be true. Okay, go ahead.
Elena:
The thing with this kind of testing—it’s important to also practice it, clear yourself before you do it, and not judge yourself. It’s incredible how accurate it is. This is something I’ve come up with over the last few years teaching it to other people because I feel that it’s important that people know what’s happening in their body. Then there’s this pie, and it shows 12 numbers. The thing to remember is we’re going to ask a question. We’re going to ask a question and say, I’m weak on. Then looking at the pie, you can say, I’m weak on one. For me, number one, my fingers are locked together. It say yes, I’m actually weak on number two.
Then I’ll say, I’m weak on number two, and my fingers fall apart, so that’s no. Going through this entire pie, entire wheel, then I refer to a chart next to it. For me, number one came up, and it says number one is albumin, which is a protein in eggs. It’s interesting because years ago, I was sensitive to eggs, but now it’s something that needs to be avoided for me as well.
Dr. Pompa:
Can you go in and out of some of these sensitivities, meaning you may have tested months ago and it didn’t test? Now for whatever reason—it could be a stress, a chemical stress, or just changing your microbiome, or a seasonal change, now you are.
Elena:
Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
That’s one of the benefits of being able to do this because you can’t afford to run an expensive test. As the point is, I’m not a big fan of food allergy testing because it’s so inaccurate. This may be a better way.
Elena:
Yes, absolutely. Our gut microbiome changes, depending on, of course, our stress level, rapidly. Even probiotics that people take—what I’ve noticed over the years— a certain probiotic might be working for someone for a few months, and then it doesn’t anymore. This is a way to tap into your own knowing, and create a lifestyle that is supporting your overall wellbeing.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, that’s interesting. We both agree. I just got back from filming somethings at Hope for Cancer, an amazing cancer clinic. They have some of the most amazing around the world, some of these clinics, and they’re doing great work. I have to say, a big theme when you talk to these people is, they’ve all had a lot of emotional traumas, these cancer patients. To your point earlier, we know that the emotional stuff—it’s a hidden stressor. The body doesn’t know the difference of physical, chemical, or emotional stressors. On this show, we talk a lot about chemical stressors. We don’t talk a lot about emotional traumas.
You and I would agree—the body doesn’t know the difference. Arguably, it could be the bigger hidden cause of just about anything. Talk about that. What do you talk about in your book? Then talk about some of the tests that they can do for themselves to look. How do we analyze ourselves? It’s more hidden than anything. I can see, yeah, I eat eggs. I get a stomach ache. Gosh, I don’t know. Do I have emotional stuff?
Elena:
At first, diving into the world of what I do now, I always thought it is physical and chemical things. Only later on, it was revealed to me because some people were not healing, even though I was providing the services, and I was giving them all these different things to take, changing their lifestyle, their diet, they were still sick. The viruses, let’s say Epstein-Barr, would come back. I would be like, okay, why is it coming back? What I realized is, we have to approach every human being from a holistic whole approach because our body is not separate from our mind, from our emotion, from our soul. Everything is interconnected. The way that I see this is, our higher self is communicating to our physical body through very powerful messages, that are called emotions or feelings.
When choose to ignore them, or I call it park them in a short-term parking garage, let’s just say, what happens is the symptoms or the communication signals are becoming stronger in a way of physical symptoms. Then if we choose to ignore that, for example, anxiety could be one of the things that people could experience. What would happen if we choose to ignore that over time? People will get an illness or some kind of massive physical imbalance. A lot of times, this is when people are seeking help. I usually say that your illness is your greatest gift because you can create a massive shift by recognizing really what you have been doing up until that point.
My vision and my mission is to help people not get to that point, to really become friends with your emotions, allow them to flow through you. Usually, the way it happens—over the years, what I’ve noticed is there is an event or situation that happens. It gets stored in our cellular memory as a very specific emotional block. Over the years, we get triggers with different events, situations, and people in our life. It’s really meant for us to awaken us to a realization that there’s something in that that needs healing within ourselves. I’ll give you an example. For example, I have a patient that I’ve been working for a while. She has Epstein-Barr virus.
I have actually a few Epstein-Barr viruses which are part of chronic fatigue viruses. She has not been able to clear it over the last five, six months. I wanted to know why, so we had to go deep into her emotion. For her, it had to do actually with abandonment. I said, “Okay, what does abandonment mean to you?” Actually, what was interesting—she was left at the hospital when she was born for a month in a half. Her mom didn’t see her. Then her grandparents were the ones that raised her, so she was never close to her biological mother and father. That imprint in her field left that emotion of abandonment which was such a strong trigger in her life because every relationship since then that she had, it would bring out the Epstein-Barr.
Dr. Pompa:
Makes sense—I know that you’ve been endorsed, by Bruce Lipton, who I love. He wrote the book Biology of Belief. Basically, the book is, our thoughts, rather for good and for bad, really control our DNA. It can literally turn on bad genes. It can turn off good genes. Good thoughts are very powerful and healing. This is science. It sounds oftentimes hokey to people. No, Bruce Lipton is an amazing stem cell biologist. He’s an amazing cellular biologist. He talks about why our physiology is controlled by our thoughts. It can be controlled by chemicals as well, but our thoughts drive it. To your point, this has been programmed in, this abandonment. Here we have an anchor in our subconscious.
Typically, we wouldn’t go, man I’m just so upset I was abandoned for a month and a half in the hospital. It’s not even in our conscious mind. In our subconscious, it’s communicating that, right? Then that can manifest in our DNA, and then our DNA starts to tell our cells to make certain proteins. Those proteins become who we are. Here we are 40, 30, 40 years old, whenever you start manifesting systems. You’re like, gosh, I’m sick. This is happening. This is happening. Could it be the fact—it’s this trauma that changed our DNA that changes who we are? How do we reprogram?
Elena:
The way that I teach people—first of all, I cannot heal their emotions. It’s important to embrace that emotion within yourself. Try to view it as your navigation system into healing yourself. I would say to people, journal as much as you can. Let’s go into this very particular emotion, see how it makes you feel. If you have a memory. A lot of times, people can be regressed. I don’t do regressions, but there are people that do regressions into your infancy, into your one to three-year-old stage where perhaps we don’t have the memory, the conscious memory.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah because it’s recorded—that was my point. A one-year-old, it’s recorded in your subconscious, and it’s still affecting your cell. How do we change the recording? That’s the question.
Elena:
To change the recording is to really face that emotion. How does it make you feel? Embrace it, become friends with it, and recognize. Then perhaps go through your life and see, what other people in your life have possibly triggered you? Sometimes we see people. Oh, this person is not good for me, but what they’re doing is actually mirroring to you what needs to be healed within. Embrace and become friends with everything that has ever happened to you in your life.
Dr. Pompa:
It’s funny because I deal a lot with people who are very chemically sensitive. Once we empty their stress bucket, I’m the expert in the chemical stuff that we accumulate over the years. Obviously, the stress bucket we [24:02], right, so we have to empty that. That’s what we’re getting at. What we find is, okay, great. Once we empty that bucket, but we still have these memories of it, and people still react to the chemical or the mold as if they were still living in it, so to speak, we literally have to change the way they think about that exposure. Oh, that sniff of gasoline—yeah, I used to go through anxiety, brain fog, symptoms.
Okay, this can’t hurt me. As a matter of fact, it’s helping me and strengthening me. That literally works, especially once we take away the stress. That literally change the way they think about that exposure. Eventually, we reprogram it. Is that the same thing that you’re talking about with the emotion—if we can just change the way they think about whatever it is?
Elena:
Instead of reacting, it’s more embracing, absolutely. Actually, what you said is perfect because I talk in my book about break down mind, body, and soul into your mind is CEO of a company. In order to run the company, the employees are the body parts, the organ system. when the system is inflamed, the only thing the mind or the CEO can think about or do is focus on managing the employees. It cannot think about the purpose or the soul of the company. In order for us to become clear, even to connect our emotions, we have to clear the stressors in our life, and those are physical things.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, especially the ones we can control, we can at least control those. My cellular work helps empty the bucket from that perspective. Again, we can change the way we think about a toxin. We can eventually reprogram that that toxin doesn’t give us that response anymore. It works. I had to do it, too. When I was sick, all of a sudden, I would get in and I would have this massive reaction to things. I had to tell myself, I’m healthy now. This is actually helping me. Eventually, I reprogrammed this physiological reaction.
Here’s the problem with emotions. I can smell the chemical and go, oh, there it is. Oftentimes with emotions, we don’t smell it, meaning we think it’s everybody else. It’s like, this person says something. We think it’s them. Meanwhile, all they were is a chemical hitting that part of my subconscious that was triggering that emotion, and I didn’t realize. How do you deal with that? Emotions are hard.
Elena:
Yes, that’s an amazing question. Here’s the thing. This is the problem with our day and age. We’re so busy being busy that we don’t take the time to center and be by ourselves, even if it’s for ten minutes a day, that means to silence and tune in. Most people tune out. They’re tuning out. They’re on social media. They’re going to distracting themselves with noise. It’s the noise that we create in our daily life. The key is to turn off the noise and to go within because our body has an ability to reveal to us where the blocks are, including emotional blocks.
Dr. Pompa:
You’re talking about meditation, which is a word that I always say I hate because for most people, we go, yeah, we have to mediate. We have to mediate. Most people go, what does that actually mean?
Elena:
It’s actually perfect, what you’re saying because most people actually are doing it the wrong way. Meditation is not necessarily turning off to escape, and this is what I’m finding most people are doing wrong. It’s actually tuning in to listen, tuning in to listen, and allow your body. Use your body as a guide to allow you to feel. Where in your body do you have a block? This is something I also teach in my book. It can come up—if you ask your body, you silence, and you relax your muscles, you can be sitting down laying down, and you ask, how do I feel? We always ask other people, how do you feel? How often do we ask ourselves, how am I doing? How am I feeling? The body will reveal where there is tension. It’s really about releasing the tension, whether it’s in our chest, our throat, wherever it is. There is a way to connect to it and let it go.
Dr. Pompa:
What if you had an event that day, like an emotional event with your child, spouse, random person? You sit down. Okay, I’m going to meditate, if you will, on that event. Is it good to do that? Is it good to think about the event and ask yourself—instead of asking yourself, how do I feel, why did I react the way I did in that moment? Then just wait and just hear. Is that a good thing to do?
Elena:
Yes, first, it’s very important to ground yourself, to feel your body, your system because a lot of times, we’re so disconnected. We’re on autopilot of constantly reacting to things. It’s important to give yourself time and space to feel you first, to know this is me and this is not me. Then ask yourself a question, absolutely, and be honest.
Dr. Pompa:
All right, I’m the person listening to this going, all right, I know I have some emotional stuff. Why? I have some physical things I don’t like. I have some emotional responses I don’t like. Okay, where do I search first? I know they’re recorded in my subconscious, but I don’t know what it is. Maybe there’s something that’s hidden. How do I find it?
Elena:
Perhaps recognize, for example, most of us have been programmed to react, think, and have belief systems from the time we were little children. Am I reacting like my dad? Maybe I sound like my dad. Maybe I sound like my mother, who sounds very angry and judgmental. Try to understand what rules and belief systems are truly yours, and perhaps those that are not you. Those are the things that, really, we’re here to learn to unlearn, to let go.
Dr. Pompa:
Areas in our life that are emotional for any reason—I think often times, the starting place is examining our premises around those areas, meaning our beliefs. You often find—if I’m very emotional about something, dig for the belief. Typically, it goes back to childhood, before age five sometimes. It’s like, oh my gosh. I believed that, and that belief—some weird belief, that we really believe is true, is creating that problem. Typically, we develop bad premises around the areas of our life we’re trying to protect, which is typically around the areas we need [31:11] look at these areas. Is there any more advice in that area?
Elena:
Yeah, the first step is to become aware. I think that is the awakening that happens, to become aware, honest with yourself. and not judge yourself.
Dr. Pompa:
What’s a day of Elena look like? You get up.
Elena:
Gosh, I have four kids, but they’re getting older now. My day in the morning—I always begin in my day with gratitude. I go absolutely in my heart, in love. I go into appreciation of this planet, for myself and what I do, for my family, my loved ones. This is the most important step for me, number one in the morning, and then drinking glass of water and going to the gym.
Dr. Pompa:
Wow, sounds like you intermittent fast because you didn’t eat anything so far.
Elena:
Yeah, I got to the gym, and then I’ll have my breakfast with my kids, and then I begin my day.
Dr. Pompa:
How old are your kids?
Elena:
Yeah, they’re older. My oldest is 20. I have 3 boys and a girl—an 18-year-old, a 15, and a 14.
Dr. Pompa:
We’re about the same ages because I have 4 boys and a girl—22, 22, 20, 18, 15, very similar. Life’s getting easier. Some of them are moving on now. It never gets easier. You just enter different phases. Obviously, we know your diet. We know your exercise. Do you do any fasting? You follow my work.
Elena:
Normally, I try not to eat after 5 o’clock, between 5 and then the next day. I usually have breakfast around 9:30.
Dr. Pompa:
Do you do any longer, extended fasts, whether it be partial, water, whatever because that’s another way that I have found I tap in. It really forces you to focus because when you take eating away, magic happens.
Elena:
I’ve tried so many different things, and I feel that it’s always—we have to always trust and listen to our body. My body guides me to what I feel is the best. I don’t usually have same things every day. I try to see, what does my body feel like today? I trust the messages that it’s giving me.
Dr. Pompa:
That’s smart. Okay, you mentioned something earlier in your book. It’s probably the hardest thing and one of the most destructive things. You said detoxing people out of your life. One of my areas—I would say one of my biggest areas, when people ask me what’s led to success, is really surrounding myself with people that yes, positive, but world changers. I love changing lives, I do. My wife will tell you. If I’m not changing a life, think I’m changing someone’s life, or make a difference, I get absolutely beside myself. I want to fix everybody and everything, which was a problem earlier in my life because I thought I could fix everybody and everything, but now I know I can’t.
The point is, though, I’ve learned to put myself around other people who just have a desire to make a difference, change the world, people who are doing things that I love to do. It’s led to success. I teach my children the same thing. If you want to be successful, hang around successful people. If you want to be miserable, hang around miserable people. You will not lead them to happiness. They will pull you down in misery. Anyways, how do we get rid of these people, is the point?
Elena:
For me, this is something I also had to learn over the years because I’m a giver and a rescuer. I just, over the years, wanted to rescue everybody all the time. I recognized that if I keep rescuing everybody, I’m going down. I’m crashing and collapsing, and that was not working. For me, my number one rule is I connect and surround myself with people who are authentic, who are inspiring me. I get up and I just cannot wait to hear their voice, and sometimes it’s across the globe. I have friends who are in Germany, who are in Switzerland, wherever they are.
They inspire me to be my best. Also, it’s really a love connection. I feel absolute love for these people. We’re so respectful of each other’s space, and we’re so supportive of each other. To me, the most inspiring thing is the authenticity of being unapologetically in their hearts, in my heart and their hearts.
Dr. Pompa:
That’s a beautiful thing. I think we found the same thing in our life, both being very similar, thought we could help everyone, wanted to help everyone—didn’t work out. I almost have to have rules around these things to protect myself, meaning that you just can’t let those people too close. You want to help certain people, but there’s a certain distance. You have to have roles to where they’re going to be in your life. Your inner circle you have to be really careful with because they’re the ones—
Elena:
For me, it’s also priorities. For me, my children are number one. My family is the most important thing. Then the people that are part of that circle—I would say they’re like my family, too. There’s very few that I would say that are these beautiful, amazing human beings that are just radiating love. That’s really all that I seek and I want in my life. Anything that is not love definitely is not for me.
Dr. Pompa:
We started this whole conversation talking about the body’s innate ability, inborne ability to health itself. If we remove the interferences, the body finds that healing. It’s called homeostasis. Very healthy people have this balance. What are some of the other areas that perhaps we didn’t hit on that really throw the body out of homeostasis? If you’re out of that homeostasis, you’re developing disease. To get healthy again, we have to bring homeostasis. The only thing that can really do that is the body. There’s no drug that does that. There’s a time and a place for anything, but ultimately, the body has to find that balance. What are some of the things that help do that, and what are some things that we haven’t talked about that interfere with that?
Elena:
Gosh, there’s so many things. Over the years, I also began a new practice where I transitioned from working with people on-on-one in my private practice into long-distance work. This is, I would say, new and emerging field. I feel this is the field of the future, where medicine is going, and it’s really working on human energy field. There’s several ways to create an imbalance. There’s ways to interfere with it on a physical level we know, chemicals, toxins, viruses, bacteria. Then there’s a second way of entry, and that is on a soul gate level. What’s interesting is, over the years, I’ve had people pose a question to me about how can something interfere from a soul gate level? It might seem a little out there, but I want to bring it to people’s attention.
Dr. Pompa:
Just so people know, energy is how every bit of things in our body, every cell. We’re understanding energy a lot more today. Without sounding too hokey, energy really is critical. That’s what you’re talking about here. Go ahead.
Elena:
We’re talking about morphogenetic field, or morphic field, something that Rupert Sheldrake has done tremendous amount of research. Dysmorphic field contains of every human being, contains information of events, situations, viruses, bacteria. Think of a Cloud. If we’re a computer, there’s a Cloud that’s connected to it that that stores all of its information. At some point, there are going to be an accumulation and imbalances in that Cloud. We need to really, over time, recognize and clear it out of that Cloud so everything begins to sink in and flow. For example, today I have a client. She is an anesthesiologist. She was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She wanted to see me, somebody that I’ve known over the years.
I said, I no longer do the work that I did in person, but you’re welcome to work with me through distance. Anyway, she said, “I don’t feel myself.” I thought that was interesting because she said, “It’s not physical. It’s something else. I feel like I’m surrounded by darkness.” I found it fascinating that she was able to pinpoint it. What I do is, I read human energy field. I went into her field and she actually had dark energy that is ruling more than 50 percent of her being. That’s the gate of interference that I’m talking about on a soul level. I told her we have to cut it out of her field. This is a whole other topic that we could talk about, but it’s also important to know. There are interferences that can enter your field without you knowing it and without you recognizing it.
Dr. Pompa:
I’m a Christian, so I come from that. I get it. There are dark and evil forces out there that are always trying to affect us in certain ways. I think where—and I think most people watching this would agree with that, not everybody, but we love them anyway. I think where more of the confusion where people would go, okay, now you [41:24]. How do you sense this? In other words, how to read this? You said you have clients that are distant. You’re reading their energy force. Describe that. What does that mean, how do you do it, and how does it help the person?
Elena:
There’s several steps to it. First of all, I want to briefly say, how do we acquire? How does something negative enter a field? There’s many different ways. Number one, if you lower your vibration from something else. What does that mean? If you’re stuck in negative emotions, in constant negative thoughts, you’re lowering your vibration. When you’re lowering your vibration, of course drinking, overindulging in drugs such as alcohol—there’s so many different things you can do, it lowers your vibration. It creates holes in your own field of information. Things can enter you, and then you don’t know if it’s you or not you.
Dr. Pompa:
How do you pick that up, though? I get that. It’s all of those things you mentioned. Look, if you’re in someone’s presence, you can tell those people. You can tell that they’re more stuck in a negative state with the look on their face. They wear it. You have a distant client. You’re sensing something else.
Elena:
Yeah, I’ll go into—I’ll need a photo. It’s the same thing that radio signals work, the same way that cell phones work, or the way we’re speaking at the moment. How are we tapping into each other instantaneously? We’re seeing each other, and the sound travels so quickly. It’s the same way. I just need a photo and a name, and it takes me about five hours to read their field. It reveals everything about them, including if the meridians are flowing, miracle meridians, other meridians, the biofield of the person, what emotions are blocked on a physical level all the way to their cellular level, to DNA level. There’s a lot of information that we have that we store. I believe it’s the future of where things are going. I also believe that in the future, we’ll be able to tap into those things ourselves.
Dr. Pompa:
They’ve developed machines. We can look at people’s auras, and look for physical problems based on these things and emotional things. We can see that energy better with devices. You’re saying you’ve learned to tap into that. I can’t even imagine what that is because it’s maybe a gift, and I don’t have it. I can’t spell very well, either.
Elena:
We all have it. That’s the thing. We all have it.
Dr. Pompa:
Anyways, I have to ask this question. You get somebody, and you read that, and it doesn’t look good. How do you say that to the person? Then what do you do with that?
Elena:
First of all, I don’t ever deliver negative things. If I see dark things, I usually say—they get a report, and I’ll say, these are the things that I’m responsible for. I can cut it out of your field. Then your emotional state, your diet, everything else that you do, you’re responsible for. Look, there’s research that has been done. I don’t know if you’ve read books by Dr. Bruce Lipton. Joe Dispenza talks about this placebo effect. It’s actually much greater. It’s not a placebo. There’s something much greater.
Dr. Pompa:
I love both of those books, yeah.
Elena:
Exactly, so it’s where they perform surgeries. Have you read the study where they did the surgery for the—
Dr. Pompa:
[45:10] our viewers we’re talking about.
Elena:
Okay, excellent, so it’s the same kind of thing. As a person, let’s say you had an injury, massive injury. Let’s say you had a massive accident in your spine, like Joe Dispenza had an accident. What did he do? He actually went online and he printed, or he was envisioning his spine healing for three months until he healed himself. There’s actually a way that you can realign the healed with the person. Information begins to flow so the person can begin the healing. It’s a two-part, I would say, process, where a practitioner—I can send the energy to the person and be very specific where I’m sending it to. The other part is the person has to do the work also. I can actually give you an example.
My son, my 18-year-old, who’s extremely physical and active, had an accident on February 24th. I recorded a video with him interviewing him about it. He tore his meniscus. He went to see an orthopedic. He needed surgery because that’s the only way you can fix it. I said, “You know what? Let’s try something else.” He went, and we did one treatment of stem cells and my sessions, and he’s running now.
Dr. Pompa:
By the way, that’s how I fixed my meniscus. I didn’t have surgery. I did stem cells.
Elena:
How many treatments did you have?
Dr. Pompa:
On my medial meniscus, one treatment fixed it. Then I had another one on the posterior lateral because it was a different injury.
Elena:
Yeah, I would say that there’s so many different ways of working and healing each person. It’s recognizing that everything works as a whole; it’s not separate. Yes, we do need medicine. It’s amazing for a few things, but chronic conditions—there’s things that have to—we have to re-shape the way we’re thinking about chronic illness and mystery illness.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, there’s no doubt. By the way, Joe Dispensa’z book, You are the Placebo, and what was his other one? There’s the second one.
Elena:
Yes.
Dr. Pompa:
I’m drawing a blank, too. I was looking to you to tell me. Anyway, it’s a great book. His first one, You are the Placebo, tells that story that you were telling, how he healed himself with that. That is the power.
Elena:
Yes, what he did is he actually healed his own field. To heal that, you have to really be extremely specific.
Dr. Pompa:
There’s science all over it. Joe talks about the science, as well as Bruce Lipton. Bruce Lipton’s book, who endorsed you, the Biology of Belief, and then Joe Dispenza, You are the Placebo. Read both books. It sounds hokey, but what we’re saying—there is an absolute science around how our brain has the ability to change literally your DNA, and therefore the proteins your cells make, and that’s changing who you are. Literally, you are protein that your DNA makes, and our thoughts can control that. Today, you sit here or listen to this. The person who you are is who you thought yourself to be. I tell my children that all the time. It’s a remarkable thought.
Elena:
Yeah, we’re the manifestation of everything we imagine, everything we think, and feel.
Dr. Pompa:
Therefore, you’d better be careful who you let in your life because when we look at who influences who we are, it’s the people, the five people around you. I teach that to my kids. There’s the saying, you show me the five closest people in your life; I’ll show you your life.
Elena:
That’s right.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, no doubt about it because people go, okay, how do I change my thoughts? We just gave it to you, folks. Change those five closest people around you. As those people change, so too will your DNA, so too you will your protein, so too will your hormones, so too will who you become. You are what you believe. I hate to say it. I know my kids think I’m a nutcase when I say that because they know me as this very scientific—when I say those things, they look at me. They respect and love me enough where they don’t say it. I know they look at me and go, uh huh, uh huh. Let’s talk about the other thing.
Elena:
You know what’s amazing? This is what I’m finding. We are actually on the verge of having a different type of humanity. I’m noticing that with my children. They’re born knowing, feeling in a way that I don’t ever remember feeling that way until I was much older, or recognizing and being aware. They’re born aware and conscious.
Dr. Pompa:
Gosh, my 15-year-old is so aware. He’s so conscious. He’s so intuitive in a way that I could never imagine. Listen, the brain is amazing. What social media and all these things are doing—the brain’s compensating, figuring this out, doing stuff. Kids today, I tell you—they’re a really different generation. We have to be careful because we do not understand the way their brains work.
Elena:
No, but they’re so beautiful. Also, what I’m finding—my older three are the boys. They’re so aware and awakened and so heart connected, recognizing that it is important to have the human connection, versus fighting behind the phone, behind the social media post. We are in the day and age where we can instantly connect to people across the globe, but at the same time be so disconnected.
Dr. Pompa:
Yeah, you’re right. What I hear you say—it’s a disconnected generation because of social media, but what’s happening is their brains are maybe compensating and developing in this ability to connect much quicker.
Elena:
I just feel there’s a new type of humans that are being born, perhaps not all, but new in a way that they are feeling, sensing. They’re more sensitive. I don’t know if you’ve noticed. More and more kids are also suffering from food sensitivities, from all kinds of issues. We have our kids with ADD, ADHD, which I never look like as a disorder. I actually look at them as a gift.
Dr. Pompa:
My son, that son, the 15-year-old—he’s ADD, dyslexic. He’s got all my gifts. I’m not ADD, but I am dyslexic. My wife’s ADD. He got the dyslexia and the ADD, and it’s come together.
Elena:
Guess what? He’s actually more sensitive, and he can tell you if he enters a room is something is awry, or if something is good or not.
Dr. Pompa:
He reads it. He reads people. I look to him. He’ll be like, mm-mm.
Elena:
Those kids are a gift. They’re our gifts, and they are guiding our humanity to a whole other level of awareness.
Dr. Pompa:
Interesting—let’s end on that positive note. Hold up your book again. I want you to promote it. There you go. It’s funny, folks. I joked in the beginning because I said, “Oh my gosh.” You look at people’s book covers. It’s thought up, it’s made up, it’s photoshopped, the whole thing. I said, “You look exactly like your book.” I realize that sounds stupid. Of course, she does. She looks exactly, today—look at her face, her hair—that’s her. That is you. It’s beautiful, and you look exactly like your book, so that’s awesome—very good. Get it, and I’m sure you expand greatly on every principle that we just talked about in your book. Thanks for being on Cellular TV, Elena. It was a great message, and ended on a really positive note, so thank you.
Elena:
Thank you so much.
