David: Hey everyone, this is David Asarnow,
and I am honored—and actually you’re honored
to be here today because we have internationally
known Cellular Healing expert Dr. Daniel Pompa.
Now, I’ve had the pleasure to watch Dr.
Pompa change people’s lives.
He educates the public and he educates doctors
on how to heal their patients.
He’s created his famous 5R’s of Cellular
Healing and Detox, and we’re going to start
a series.
So this is the first of many.
So first, welcome, Dr. Dan Pompa. 
Dr. Pompa: Thank you 
David: Now, one of the things we wanted to
talk about today was detox, because it’s
a craze of today.
We’re talking about 2014, we just kicked
it off, and detox is everywhere and it’s
not just for health nuts anymore.
People are jumping all over detox, especially
in the New Year.
So the question I would like to start off
today with is are all detox and cleanses the
same?
Are they safe?  
Dr. Pompa: Well obviously I just released
an article about when detox can become dangerous,
and there’s so many things out there about
detox—there’s foot baths, there’s magnets
on the feet, there’s liver cleanses, there’s
colon cleanses, that cleanse, this cleanse…
You go into a natural health or any store
today and we see this whole collection of
cleanses especially in natural food sections,
but the bottom line is it has to be really,
true “Cellular Detox”, which is something
that I coined, because if we don’t really
detox the cell—if we don’t really change
cellular function—then we’re really not
going to have a lasting effect or something
that’s really going to change lives or really
matter for that much.
It’s not that I’m against any of those
other cleanses; it’s just really to address
the epidemic for why people are getting sick.
You have to do true cellular detox.  
David: Now, one of the things that you wrote
about in your article that I thought was interesting
was the “street cleaner” analogy of what
most cleanses were like.
Can you go into that a little bit? 
Dr. Pompa: Yeah, I recall—and probably most
watching and listening can recall the same—driving
down the street and you see the street cleaners,
right?
They have the big brushes and it’s this
big massive thing and it looks very impressive
and I’m sure it costs a pretty penny until
you actually see what it’s doing, and it’s
really kinda just moving the dirt around the
street, and you see things kinda moving.
There’s a path with garbage on each side
and dust and cinders being pushed around.
That’s what most detoxes really do.
They just kinda push things around the body,
and it may sound funny when we watch the street
cleaner on the street, but when it happens
in our body the problem is things redistribute
and it will just push the toxins around the
body but the problem is some of the toxins
can end up in the brain, crossing the blood
brain area which is very dangerous, so that
is absolutely when detox can become dangerous.  
David: So let’s talk about your 5R’s of
true cellular detox.
What is it and what does it mean to the people
who are viewing this today?  
Dr. Pompa: Yeah, I really developed the 5R’s
as a road map for practitioners to heal the
cell.
For years I talked about Cellular Healing,
and it’s how I got my life back, which is
why I’m even here today.
I went through my own battle with an unexplainable
illness and four years of my life came to
a screeching halt.
In that time, I really learned a lot about
how to fix the cell.
I have a mantra that says “if you don’t
fix the cell, you will never get well”.
So I started teaching how I got myself well
and how I got hundreds of patients well as
well.
It really came down to fixing the cell, but
the problem is when I was teaching it, it
really became a challenge because even though
I was teaching and lecturing doctors the cell
is really complicated, so the 5R’s became
a road map for doctors saying “this is what
you do.”
I never expected it, but it came to be a road
map for the public as well.
The average person gravitated to the 5R’s
and was really understanding “Hey, this
is what I need to do to regain my life back.”  
When we look at the 5R’s, R number one is
removing the source—whatever source there
is.
I’ll tell ya, this is where a lot practitioners
go wrong.
They really don’t remove the source and
if you don’t remove the source the body
will never really do the healing.
Something that I always say is “Look, all
we have to do as practitioners is remove the
interference and the body does the healing.”
And yet so many practitioners don’t really
remove the source.
Also, removing the source is cellular detox
in itself. 
R number two is regenerating the cell membrane.
This is how the cell works, this is how detoxes—very
important.
And R number three is raising cellular energy.
Often times, it’s one of the first things
we have to do with very challenging patients.
They don’t have enough cell energy for things
to even work and they wonder why they’re
doing all of these supplements and all of
these natural things that work for most people
that are not working for them.
They literally just do not have enough cellular
energy to even process the nutrition or even
detox the cell.  
Four is reducing inflammation and oxidative
stress, which is really the epidemic of why
people get sick.
The average person on the street today knows
inflammation is the cause of heart disease,
diabetes, thyroid conditions, even why people
can’t lose weight.
It’s all over the literature.  
Then, R five is reestablishing methylation.
Something in the science right now that’s
very hot and heavy is epigenetics—changing
the gene expression.
You know, David, the old dogma was (and you
probably remember this) if your mother or
father had cancer or heart diseases then chances
are you were going to get it.
Well, we know it’s not so simple.
Genes can be turned on, yes, and we do have
genes with susceptibility, but today we know
that most genes are turned on by environmental
toxins, but the good news is, we can turn
them off.
Well, methylation plays a major role in turning
off bad genes.
Methylation is how your body detoxes (or one
of the ways) and methylation is how your body
detoxes bad hormones.
So, yes, hormone problems can be caused by
a methylation depletion, so can toxicity,
and so can stress that you don’t adapt to—because
you need methyl groups to turn on to how your
body adapts to stress.
And, by the way, stress is the number one
way that methyl groups are becoming depleted
and, therefore, leaving our DNA exposed to
more damage and our genetics turning on bad
genes.
Stress of any type—physical, chemical, or
emotional—can deplete methylation, and then
we start expressing bad symptoms that we don’t
want.
So that’s, in a nutshell, the 5R’s.
Yes, that’s how you detox a cell, that’s
how you heal the cell.
Cellular healing is the key—if you don’t
fix the cell, you won’t get well—we’ll
repeat that many times. 
David: So it seems to me that you have a very
specific blueprint, and the challenge is most
people, myself included (in the past), would
just go to Whole Foods or a health foods store
or go online and read about a detox cleanse
of the week and then wonder why it didn’t
do what I thought it was going to do.
It’s because you can’t go reestablishing
methylation until you remove the source. 
Dr. Pompa: It is a specific pattern, and it
works.
I got my life back with this, and we’re
teaching doctors around the country and duplicating
this.
In the article, I released two, but it’s
going to be a three part series on when detox
is dangerous, I focus on heavy metals.
It ruined my life (for a period of time) but
it’s also why I’m here today so, “From
pain to purpose “is something that we like
to say but, you know, heavy metal detox is
so often done wrong.
There is a procedure; there is something that
really works.
I have a pet peeve when it comes to heavy
metal detox, and that’s why I really focus
it in these articles, and you can find it
on my website.
Part three is not released yet, but the other
parts are.  
David: And you can go read those at www.drpompa.com 
Dr. Pompa: Yeah, drpompa.com.
Doctor Pompa dot com.
The pet peeve that I have with heavy metal
detox is most practitioners do it wrong.
I talk about this in the article.
We have the allopathic or “regular” doctors
who are giving IV chelation, which puts a
true chelator in the body, pulls a lot of
metal at once, and it works.
But the problem is it causes a lot of redistribution
of metal back in to the brain and in other
places—not good.
You can read a lot about all the types of
chelation causing a lot of people a lot of
harm.
The alternative doctors; they’re using things
like cilantra, corella (which is called the
“metal magnet”) really does nothing.
I’m not against cilantro as the super food,
but it is not the metal magnet, it is not
going to pull the mercury out of your brain,
I can assure you of that.
Even in testing that we have done with corella
we are not sure it even pulls anything from
the gut as far as metal goes.
And there’s a lot of other herbals that
many of these practitioners are using that
are really weak chelators that are unlike
a true chelator that I discuss in the article,
that cause more redistribution—that’s
the street cleaner.
It’s just causing the dust to go up and
resettle somewhere else.
The problem is when it resettles in the brain—that’s
when it becomes dangerous, David, it has to
be done right.
That’s one of the things that we teach.  
David: So is this something that if a general
person just watches this, they should just
go off and do this on their own?
Is it safe?  
Dr. Pompa: One of the points that I make in
the article, the articles are very educational
and there’s a lot of information in there.
But even the removal of some of the sources,
like the amalgam fillings, which contain fifty
percent mercury, and I talk about it at length,
because it’s making a lot of people sick,
and it made me sick, and I interview some
other people in these articles that it ruined
their lives.
You can’t just go take these out, you cant
even detox heavy metals when they’re in,
and it’s a big danger.
Yes, you need some supervision; you need coaching.
That’s why we’re training doctors around
the country; because most people do it wrong
and they end up worse.
Story after story, this is something that
is very specific; there is a way out from
these unexplainable illnesses.
Finding the source is one of them; I obviously
meet with a lot of people with Lyme disease
and mold toxicity and there are many other
toxins.
This article features heavy metals because
it is probably the number one thing that makes
people sick the bioaccumulation of heavy metals
in the brain and they don’t know because
it takes time and years for them to get sick
and one day the bottom falls out which I call
the “perfect storm”. 
But look, the bottom line is that you absolutely
need to do it the right way and that is why
we are training doctors all around the country.  
David: So let me ask you, if we came back,
say, next week…
Would you be willing to go a little further
into heavy metal detox and start laying out
a pathway of educating people along the way. 
Dr. Pompa: Absolutely, we’ll discuss a lot
of these topics that people need to hear that
I discussed in the article.
But I know that it’s going to evoke a lot
of questions so lets discuss it next week,
lets get into more detail, tell your friends
, we should have the world tuning in, because
it’s a massive problem; it’s a pandemic
problem. 
David: It is, and here’s the thing.
Watching you work with the practitioners,
watching you work with patients, hearing and
reading about all the unbelievably amazing
stories, this protocol that you’ve created
will change peoples lives if they actually
take it, embrace it, learn it, implement it
within their own lives.
So I wanna thank you for opening up this discussion
and be willing to come here week after week
after week and sharing this amazing information,
this life transforming information for all
the viewers. 
Dr. Pompa: You’re welcome, well thank you
David for having me. 
David: Thank you
