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!

Dry Fasting for Cancer, 4 Supplements to Stop Taking, The Dangers of Silver Fillings – Dr. Daniel Pompa: KKP 001
This first episode is very special to me as I am joined by my coach, mentor and friend, Doctor Daniel Pompa. Not only is Dr. Pompa my coach and mentor; he is the world leader in cellular detox. Having battled and emerged victorious over a debilitating battle with chronic fatigue syndrome, Dr. Dan Pompa, PSc.D, has embraced his God-given mission to assist others who face similar challenges. Dr. Pompa earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University’s College of Chiropractic in Marietta, Georgia in 1995 where he graduated second in a class of 150. His journey back to health continued to lead him to a voracious passion to research and learning beyond what is often readily understood. Dr. Pompa has established his coaching and teaching on a firm and proven conviction that the crisis of modern-day allopathic medicine is the sad result of physicians chasing symptoms with medication rather than addressing the root cause of disease. In this episode, Dr. Dan Pompa shares his personal story of mercury poisoning and how he converted his pain to purpose. Listen and learn all about Dr. Dan’s expertise which includes fasting, autophagy, diet and more! This episode is jam-packed with information so you definitely don’t want to miss this one! We cover many facets of the fasting and toxicity that are contributing to disease, and Dr. Pompa gives it to us straight: There's 3 big stressors contributing to disease in our society. You cannot get well until you address this. Antibiotics are killing more people than they are helping. The 3 supplements he has all of his new patients stop taking immediately. With a bonus 4th supplement. The amazing tumor shrinking benefits of fasting, and details on dry fasting vs water fasting. Listen in on this informative discussion about why so many people don't feel good even though their blood work looks "normal". Enjoy the show! [0:33] Growing up ‘Pompa’: A Different American Household While Dr. Pompa did have vaccine shots, he never had any antibiotics. His bricklayer and home doctor father always doctor him - bandaging him up, sterilizing his wounds and stitching his wounds. Dr. Pompa’s father was in the military during World War II and during that time, they doctor themselves. For Dr. Pompa, there is a time and place for antibiotics. One of those instances is when his son, Simon, got bone infection. [3:33] The problem with taking too much antibiotics Antibiotics wipes out microbiomes which is 70-80% of your immune system and it creates immune problems later. After World War II, we all though antibiotic is our savior but we’ve learned a lot this past few decades. Antibiotics created more disease than the number of lives it saved. People get slapped with antibiotics when they have pneumonia or sinus infections. Antibiotics cannot fight viral infections. Because of this, a lot of superbugs and resistant bacteria that are now killing people. [5:21] Dr. Dan’s journey to becoming a health practitioner Dr. Dan loves the book Doctor Dan, the Bandage Man Being a pre-dental college student and a wrestler: His interest was always health Cutting weight/calories didn’t make sense to him Reading fitness magazines and muscle and fitness: How to keep your muscle and be as lean as possible Cutting calories don’t work. You lose strength. In Ocean City Maryland, Dr. Pompa ran a marketing sales crew and they all ended up on the Pompa Diet [10:30] Life as Dr. Pompa knows it came into a screeching haul As a chiropractor and a cyclist, Dr. Pompa was in a great shape until he got sick. From fatigue and anxiety, he had insomnia, panic attacks and he got allergic to everything he was eating. He can’t even watch a movie. He became irritable, angry, or simply someone he didn’t know. In 2005, he started getting his life back. He and his wife grew their family. They adopted two kids who lost their parents tragically and they had another son. [14:42] Dr. Dan Pompa continues his personal story of mercury poisoning Searching the internet and reading literature, he came up with him having Mad Hatter Disease. However, blood test results came back negative. A very bright endocrinologist advised him to do another test, one that is based on tissues not blood, and found out he has mercury poisoning. Chronic mercury poisoning from Amalgam Fillings: from Pain to Purpose Silver fillings in amalgam fillings contain 50% mercury The golf crown creates an electrical current with the silver fillings and made the mercury flow out of the fillings 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. Mercury accumulates in the brain through time, particularly in hypothalamus pituitary which controls your thyroid and your adrenals. Dr. Pompa had to get the mercury out of his brain safely and correctly to ultimately get his life back [20:44] 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. All of those detoxes are too far downstream to what the real problem is. Metals, mold and hidden infections are the top three big ones that people miss upstream. Detox at the cellular level is the ultimate solution. [23:56] Why are dentists still doing root canals and still put silver fillings in people’s mouths? There was a documentary called Root Cause featuring opinions from doctors and dentists from around the world on the health effects of the root canal procedure. The American Dental Association (ADA) urged Netflix, Amazon and other companies to remove Root Cause, which they believed is a documentary spreading misinformation. A hundred percent (100%) of root canals is infected yet dentists are still doing them because it is the cash cow of dentistry. There’s a growing group of dentists called Biological Dentists who are not doing root canals anymore. A good place to find a safe dentist is at IAOMT: The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology These dentists know how to take fillings out correctly. If you had them out, the mercury vapor turns into inorganic mercury in your brain where it is locked for life, unless you do the right detox. [27:42] The 180 Degree Solution Watch what the media says and do the opposite. [28:20] Fasting and Autophagy: A Powerful Combination Fasting Beyond Fasting, Dr. Pompa’s new book. Available for pre-order at beyondfastingbook.com He started learning about fasting in the 90s. A client of Dr. Pompa fasted for 26.5 days and her tumor’s size declined significantly Autophagy The body’s process of recycling its own damaged tissue into usable energy during times when food is not present. Fasting and ketosis shrink tumors via autophagy Fasting and Autophagy Partial fasting involves eating 500-1000 calories, keeping protein under a certain amount, and gives autophagy. Dry fasting gives 3x autophagy. A 24-hour hard dry fast is equal to 3 days water fasting in terms of autophagy [39:24] A peek on Beyond Fasting, Dr. Pompa’s new book Diet variation is one of the quickest ways to lose weight. When we vary our diet, the hormonal shifts for adaptation re-establish and trigger the body’s ability to burn fat for energy. Healthy bodies thrive when forced to adapt both physically and mentally. The key is to get your cells hear the hormones better. Toxins block hormone receptors. The key is in the variation. [43:36] The problem with staying in Ketosis for too long Staying in any diet for too long literally creates problems with your microbiome because you are not forcing adaptation. [45:20] Three supplements that people are usually on and have to immediately take off Probiotic People stay on the same probiotic all the time. Taking one probiotic that has 7 bacteria in it, you end up too many of those. Multi-vitamin Multi-vitamins are typically in inactive forms and can create more stress on the liver Vitamin D Most people taking vitamin D doesn’t have balance of the other fat-soluble (Vitamin A, E, and K) which leads to functional deficiencies.
