Episode Highlights with Dr. Daniel Pompa

• 1999 - Began to have declining health symptoms: fatigue, digestive isuues, anxiety, insomnia, headaches. Identifyied the problem was upstream caused by mercury toxicity

  • Different mercury tests will indicate where the mercury is stored

  • Identified that this started when he had two mercury fillings removed

  • Started a journey to detoxify his cells and his brain. It is crucial to detoxify at a cellular level

• Autophagy and fasting

  • Fasting allows the body to heal by harnessing the innate intelligence of destroying old cells and regenerating new cells (auto-self / phagy-eating)

  • Ketones heal, cells become more hormone sensitive, the energy saved by eating is diverted to repair. 

  • The oldest form of healing  

• The 5 day fast is helpful to: 

  • Get fat adapted first by dropping carbs below 50 grams a day prior to allow the body to start and utilize fats first

  • Book outlines intermittent fasting. (see show notes)

  • When we force the body to go for periods of food without eating we convert from sugar burning to fat burning.

  • 5 days keto, 1 day - 1 meal, 1 day feast

  • 4 days keto, 2 days - 1 meal, 1 day feast

  • 3 days keto, 2 days fasting, 2 days feasting

  • The feast reminds the body that it is not starving

  • Mitochondrial fitness improves through proper fasting, can work up to become metabolically flexible

• The difference between a wet fast and a dry fast.

  • This works to put the cells into autopphagy quicker

  • *Always check with your doctor first!

• Why fasting works:

  • Hormones work better when they are faced with stress and adaptation and creates up-regulation
    Example: exercise, cold, fasting)

  • Lepton tells the body to stop eating and helps burn fat

  • We have been fasting generationally and this is the first time in history we haven't

  • We are genetically programmed to fast

  • Unique time in civilization that we always have food at all times
    Fasting helps program genes for longevity and optimize our microbiome

• What is allowed on feast days? 

  • The healthier the better! Good carbohydrates!

• How can you tell if fasting will benefit you?

  • Fasting is the best way to check your metabolic health.

  • Not feeling well indicates that someone needs cellular detoxification more than ever. 

  • Toxicity can be physical chemical emotional

• Fasting strategies, diet variation, cellular detox and the 5 R's are a multi-therapuetic approach

• 5 R's

  • Remove the source: Cavitations, root canals, mercury

  • Regenerate the cell membrane: 

  • Restore Cell energy

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Re-establish methylation

• Treat the root cause instead of treating lab work 

• When detox is dangerous? 

  • Must use real binders and often enough to where toxicity is not redistributed must open up detoxification pathways

  • Must look upstream (evaluate biotoxins/mold exposure, hidden infections

  • The importance of a cone beam and having a doctor who can read them (listen to episode with Gerry Curatola)
