3 Biggest Causes of Inflammation, How to Test for Max Autophagy – Ben Azadi: KKP 002

In this episode, I am breaking down the top reasons why you might be struggling with the Keto Diet and intermittent fasting, and provide you with solutions to maximize your results. I will be relaying the information Dr. Daniel Pompa shared in Episode 1, and go deeper into each important detail. If you are currently on a ketogenic diet or you are planning to be on one, this episode is definitely for you! Don’t miss out on the fun! In this episode you will learn: - The 3 biggest sources of inflammation, leading to poor keto and fasting results - What to do if you have silver amalgam fillings - What is maximum autophagy, and how to achieve it by looking and glucose/ketone measurements - Why most detoxes fail - What to do if you've been exposed to heavy metals - And so much more Learn more at www.youtube.com/ketokamp Get my free keto kickstart guide www.ketokickstartguide.com [1:56] Environmental toxins are everywhere. There are three (3) environmental toxins currently affecting four (4) generations and they are leading to an explosion of chronic diseases and obesity: Lead Mercury Glyphosate A study was done by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) where they examined blood of newborn babies. Newborn babies began life exposed to 287 of 413 toxic chemicals and 180 of those toxins were found to cause cancer. Cancer rates in children have risen to 61.7% since 1950. According to Colombia University of School of Public Health, 95% of cancer is caused by diet and environment. [3:05] Silver Fillings which are also called Amalgam Fillings contain 50% mercury Mercury is a major toxin and it creates cellular inflammation. Our mouths are very acidic. Silver fillings (in our mouth) vaporize and go into our brain which then bioaccumulates into the hypothalamus pituitary as inorganic mercury. When boxes of silver fillings are delivered into clinics, it is classified as a poison. Once they were put in your mouth, they are declassified as poisons. Tests showed mercury is not in patients blood. However, these are wrong tests to take as mercury is stored in the brain and not in our blood. You need to get a biopsy of the brain. As Dr. Pompa shared in the previous episode, silver fillings in his mouth almost took his life. He underwent the right process of removing the fillings and eventually got his life back. If you have silver fillings in your mouth and want it removed, make sure it is done right by the right dentist. A good place to find a safe dentist is at IAOMT: The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology [6:45] Detox downstream analogy The analogy: If you’re downstream trying to fix the river and get fish to repopulate the stream of the river, while upstream, they’re still dumping mercury or lead into the river, you’re never ever going to get the fish to take population again. You’ll never going to take care of the problem when you go downstream. Treatment at the cellular level or upstream is the ultimate solution. [7:53] Studies about mercury One study found out that the more amalgam fillings present in your mouth, the more mercury you will have in your organs including the brain, heart, kidney and liver. Study after study, it shows the link between the fillings and mercury found in the body. Another study showed that mercury is linked to high amounts of visceral fat and obesity. A study done by the Diabetes and Metabolism Journal showed an association between blood mercury levels and visceral adiposity in adults. Studies have shown that the number of silver fillings you have in your mouth is proportional to the number of mercury they find in your brain on autopsies. [9:07] What is cellular inflammation? Cellular inflammation does not pertain to sore shoulders, ankle, and others. When your cells are inflamed, receptor sites that your hormones communicate to are not heard. We need to remove the stressors and toxins that create inflammation at a cellular level. If it can't get to the cell, you are not gonna feel well. [10:47] For 20 years, I had 8 silver fillings Last year, I had them removed the right way. I am currently running a detox on myself for the last 6 months and I feel the best I’ve felt in a very long time. I encourage you to do a little research. If this is intriguing to you and you want to dive deep about it, feel free to contact me at ben@ketokamp.com. [11:34] Common symptoms of mercury poisoning Studies have shown that chronic Hg exposure from various sources including dental amalgams is associated with numerous health complaints, including fatigue, anxiety, and depression Elemental mercury toxicity (which usually occurs in the vaporized form) can cause: mood swings, nervousness, irritability, and other emotional changes, insomnia, headache, abnormal sensations, muscle twitching, tremors, weakness, muscle atrophy, and decreased cognitive functions. [12:12] Are you safe from mercury poisoning? Did you ever get a flu shot? If you answer is yes, here are interesting things you need to know. According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, world's leading immunogeneticist, “If an individual has had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980, chances of getting alzheimer’s disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or no shots due to the mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain.” [13:30] Lead affects 4 generations in 2 ways. Lead is inherited from the mother to the baby and it is passed down to 4 generations. Scientists already have documented that low levels of lead can reduce children’s IQs and cause other neurological effects. But the new study is one of few to find that babies in the womb also could be affected, especially if exposed during the first trimester. Lead turns on bad genes associated with many diseases, even obesity. Results of the study entitled “A longitudinal study of chronic lead exposure and physical growth in Boston children” suggest that chronic lead exposure in childhood may result in obesity that persists into adulthood. Exposure to lead during early development can alter the the gut microbiota, increasing the chances for obesity in adulthood, research has found. Across the United States, drinking water (tap) is tainted with lead. Do not drink tap water. Have a shower filter. [16:57] Glyphosate makes everything worse. Glyphosate makes aluminum, mercury, and lead more toxic. Children with the autism diagnosis are especially vulnerable to toxic metals such as aluminum and mercury due to insufficient serum sulfate and glutathione. [18:00] We are born with a set of genes and we cannot change that. However, we can control the expression of those genes. Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, and Miracles believes that more than 95% of our genes are expressed through our decisions and choices. Less than 5% of disease is genetically-related. [19:35] Dr. Pompa’s The 180 Degree Solution I call this the “George Costanza Effect” George Louis Costanza was one of the four main characters on Seinfeld Watch what the mainstream media and the government say and do the opposite. [20:54] Fasting and Autophagy: A Powerful Combination Fasting: A client of Dr. Pompa fasted for 26.5 days and her tumor’s size declined significantly. Fasting is a very powerful way to prevent cancer and heal yourself. Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, a book by Thomas Seyfried advice to do a 7 to 10 day fast once a year in order to try to kill any cancerous or precancerous cells one may be hosting When are not fasting, that’s how cancer is created. We let cancer cells duplicate. Autophagy: A way of our body to clean up cellular junk. The body’s process of recycling its own damaged cells and tissue into usable energy during times when food is not present or new cells to heal the body. Achieve maximum autophagy when you block fast. [24:24] Test your glucose and ketone Test your glucose and make sure that it is in a 1:1 ratio with your ketones. Dr. Thomas’ saw tumor shrink before his eyes through this method. I use Keto-Mojo to monitor my keto diet. Get yours here. If you are interested to learn more about this and be guided with fasting, go to ketokamp.com AND MUCH MORE!
