MOLD, FILLINGS & HAIR DYE: DOCTOR EXPOSES EVERYDAY POISONS

Rapid Intro And Listener Questions

Dr Pompa 0:00

You are gonna want to watch this episode of the Dr. Pompa podcast. Why it's one of your favorites. Ask Dr. Pompa anything. Wait to hear the questions I was asked. We got into mold. Oh gosh, you know how many people need to hear this because that is a big reason why people don't feel well and nothing works. Oh, I know. You tested your house. We talk about that. We talk about what tests for you, we talk about what tests for the house. We also talked about hair dye. Okay, ladies, don't turn me off. I gave you a solution. It's a healthy one. I did talk about the dangers, though. And we talked about those silver amalgam mercury fillings in your mouth, what to do. You'll hear some of my story. So stay tuned for another amazing episode of the Dr. Pompa podcast. I'm here with Andrea again. I said that like that was a big negative. Again. Again. No, it's been 10 years we've been serving this mission together. That's right. And I didn't make you tell your story of Hashimoto's, but if you could just sneak it in, I think that would be really good. But uh, you gathered the questions that people have. And I'm telling you, the last time I was really impressed with the questions, I really enjoyed the show and everyone else did too. So uh likewise here. So let's dig in because I like to keep them short, tight, boom, so people can share them.

Asthma And Finding Root Causes

SPEAKER_01 1:15

That's right. That's right. And we have great questions again from the audience. Um I love it because it just tells me that they're hearing what you're saying and hearing what you're teaching and they want to know more. And I love that. So, first question is what can I do for my asthma?

Dr Pompa 1:31

Yeah. I, you know, I just was speaking uh to uh a group and I asked the question, you know, it was an older group, older, like my age people in the room. How many people had asthma, you know, kids with asthma in the class? And there was one or two hands, right? Uh, what about ADHD? There was no hands. Or, you know, I'm sorry, it was autism. There was no hands. ADHD, um, couple hands, right? You know, so I'm 60 years old. I mean, back then, I I don't remember any kids allergic to foods. Uh, you know, it's like food allergies wasn't a thing. Everyone ate the same food. So it's like, so what happened, right? You know, what really happened? Well, I'll tell you what happened. The chemical explosion in the last 50, 60 years, that's what happened. And now all of a sudden we have all of these bizarre things. You know, autism. Oh, they'll tell us we just got better uh diagnosing it. What well, is that the case with asthma too? We just better at that? No, no, of course. Look, asthma is an immune problem. And, you know, oftentimes the body's own immune system turning on itself. Uh, it's inflammation in the lungs, chronic inflammation starts to manifest itself in certain cells, and then it manifests in certain symptoms. So uh look, I I think the good news is that there is a cause. That means if you remove the cause, the body will heal. God designed it that way. But unfortunately, people go to their doctors and they make it sound like, well, you're just one of the unlucky ones, and you'll have to be on this inhaler, this steroid, the rest of your life. Now, you can accept that. And I believe if you do, then that will be your outcome. I believe if you go, oh, wait a minute, you know, asthma really wasn't a thing until modern times. So therefore, what changed? Our genetics didn't change. I'm not unlucky because one of my parents had it. That's just gene gene susceptibility. So therefore, I must be able to do something about it. You're darn right. Just changing a child's diet alone, typically getting sugar out of their diet, dyes out of their diet, you know, ultra-processed food, meaning all the list of chemicals you can't read. If it you can't read it, don't eat it. Get it out of your diet, start there, watch what happens. Are there some different herbs you can take in the meantime to help someone, you know, maybe get off albuterol, something like that? And I'm not telling, work with your doctors on that. But yes, there are. Uh, you know, thing, there's a lot of things you can nebulize, even simple salt water, by the way, but nano silvers, like the silvers you see in health food stores, some of those are really good. But again, look, you know, upstream. What is coming in that's driving inflammation? There will be your answer.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

So in the last episode, we talked about one of your sayings, which is fix the cell to get well. What I'm hearing you talk about right now is getting to the root cause, right? It's so much more. And you said something really amazing, which is you have a choice. You can go ahead and just accept what the doctors say, or you can ask more questions and you can get to the root cause. And I really think that's important because we're in charge of our own health. And it's our job to ask the doctors why, or ask them more questions, or tell them to explain to you what might have caused this symptom, like say maybe asthma. And so I feel like I really wanted to point that out from how you answered that question because it is up to our uh to us, right? Which is part of my story. I could have just accepted the fact that I have rheumatoid arthritis and then I had Hashimoto's and said, okay.

Dr Pompa 4:59

Right.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Or I could have said, but why?

Dr Pompa 5:01

You know, I I want to flip it and ask you a question. What is it a personality thing? Maybe. Is it how someone was raised that they go, I'm gonna question, or I just do what my doctor tells them and then they they lock into that and they're, you know, I have diabetes for life thing. What do you think? I don't even know.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Um, you know, I don't know. I can say for me it is a personality thing because I I type I tend to always ask the question, but why? I remember when I was younger, it was like you had to automatically respect your elders. And I was like, no, they need to earn my respect. I might change my mind on that answer now.

Dr Pompa 5:36

But but no, but the fact is though, that's just my personality.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Yeah, exactly. But I also think you can teach that personality. I have a sister who is the opposite of me who just accepts the answer. And in over the years, I've said, because she always asks me, like, well, you do everything so different. And I'm like, it's because I ask why. And I don't just accept an answer, I dig to find the truth, right? Which is, I mean, why I found you because I was finding answers and then I would get stuck and then I was finding answers.

Dr Pompa 6:04

And by the way, she doesn't have Hashimoto's anymore, right? It's like your body's not in a state of autoimmune. You were told, I'm sure, that you will have that for life.

SPEAKER_01 6:12

Yeah, yeah. Rheumatoid arthritis at two years old, and I haven't been on any medications, and I'm gonna continue to do this journey without medications.

Dr Pompa 6:20

And look, we can we can point to genes of susceptibility, but those genes are triggered. What triggers genes? Certain toxins are the number one thing that turn genes on. Um, perfect storm of stressors, turn genes on. So just because you have a susceptibility means nothing. You know, it's like we have to look what's turning on. That's why we can look back and say, since 1970, childhood cancers have risen 67%. Okay. What changed? The genetics haven't changed. What changed was the toxins that are triggering those genes, because a lot of money is going into identifying the genes in these childhood cancers, and we can target the genes, we can figure out what chemos to use, et cetera. Is that the right approach? Or is the approach going, wait a minute, the genes could be a gun pointing to your head, but that's not killing anybody until you pull the trigger. What's pulling the trigger? That's the better question. Yeah, asthma is the is the same, um, you know, really same topic.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Anything, really anything, right?

Dr Pompa 7:14

Is the funny is I I think it is partly personality. You see a child who's just like, oh my gosh, they were born from the same mother and father. Look at this one, you know, it defies everything, right? And that can work for the child or against it. Everyone else will be able to do that. I'll admit it. Exactly. I've done that. But my father raised me, he said, son, when everyone's making a left, make a right. You know, it's like, and with that taught me, I would be like, that makes no sense to me because you think that if the glute group is larger, the more people are making the right answer. But that's typically not it, right? So, you know, I was taught to be contrary. I was taught that, you know, look for the answer somewhere else. Don't follow the the, you know, don't follow the cattle off the uh cliff, basically is what he was saying.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Yeah. Yeah. So with all of that, it's ask more questions, find out why you have asthma before you even start treating it.

Dr Pompa 8:05

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 8:05

And making decisions on how you want to treat it. So yeah.

Dr Pompa 8:08

You know, and people need to watch some of my teachings on cellular detox because upstream that deals with the answer. You know, and they can find those out there in many places.

Mercury Fillings And Safer Replacements

SPEAKER_01 8:19

But yeah. Okay. The next question is one that I feel like you talk about a lot. Also part of my story. Um mercury fillings.

Dr Pompa 8:30

50% well, look, they're called silver amalgam fillings. So when you look in your mouth, see a dark filling, even if it's black. Well, it used to be silver, uh, so it oxidized, um, chances are. But those dark fillings are 50% mercury, hence the word mercury fillings. Um, so mercury filling is more like the alternative biological dentist world that they call the mercury fillings, but your dentist is probably not calling a mercury filling. Do you do I have any mercury fillings? Of course you don't. Okay, because I heard bad things. Um, but yeah, if it's a dark old filling, then it's a mercury filling. Uh look, it's 50% mercury. We were told in the beginning from the ADA that uh the mercury doesn't come out. Okay, that didn't, that answer didn't last. Then we were told it comes out such small matters, it's too small to matter. Okay, that was a problem because there was um different studies that showed, you know, massive. There was a sheep study done, and they chose sheep because they chew and they could see how much mercury was coming out. Well, they found mercury in every organ tissue in the body, especially the brain and the liver. So it's like mercury goes throughout the body. There was a study, the Drash study. Ladies, this one might upset you, but the number of silver fillings was proportional to how much mercury they found in the baby's brains on autopsy. So that's pretty accurate. Um, the fact is, is that the life of that filling, because that was the other thing the ADA said, is oh, it's it's all gone anyway. That 20-year-old filling just let it be. Well, many dentists say that. But if you go to the smoking tooth video, Google it. Google it. That's a 25-year-old filling on purpose. They took a pencil eraser in one part of that little um film and they just went like this. They agitated it, just like the sheep chewing. And you see this mercury vapor come off on a fluorescent screen. Where does that go? Crosses your blood brain barrier in the brain. And by the way, that's what made me sick. Uh, it was part of my perfect storm. I was accumulating a lot of mercury. Um, granted, some people don't get rid of it, some people get rid of it better than others. Regardless, it's bad for everyone. It accumulates, and one day you just don't think the same. One day you have anxiety, one day you don't sleep the same. One day you have a lot, and it could be the mercury that's accumulated in your brain from those fillings. If you have mercury fillings, you have mercury in your brain. By the way, that vapor turns to inorganic mercury and it's locked in your brain for the life unless you do something specific about it. One of the things that um I I'm known for is my brain phase of detox that gets things like mercury and aluminum out of the brain uh and other neurotoxins as well. And therefore, you know, that's how my life changed and thousands of others.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

And mine, mine as well.

Dr Pompa 11:15

And yours too.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

Mine as well. Yeah. Great. So are what should they use instead of a mercury-filling?

Dr Pompa 11:21

Ceramic is the best. Okay, the hardest lasts forever. You know, I mean anything can happen. But um, composite, I would say would be the next best, but that's that has plastic resins in it, so not as good. And it doesn't last as long as ceramic. The downside of ceramic is it is more expensive, but it's a beautiful white filling. You know, it looks gorgeous. You can't tell ever, and it lasts. So ceramic best, then I would say composite. You can get BPA free composite fillings. I don't know if it's better or not because I'm sure there's some other things in there, but it makes people feel better. But it's cheaper. It's cheaper.

Hair Dye Risk And Healthier Options

SPEAKER_01 12:02

Yeah. Okay, great. Excellent. Those are good answers. Um, okay, here's a fun one for you. Um, what are your thoughts on hair dye?

Dr Pompa 12:11

Yeah, not a fan of hair dye. Uh well, okay, let's back up because I just lost half of my women. No, I probably lost all my women audience right there. There's a safer way to do it. Number one, here's the good news they're making hair dyes without the major, major chemicals, the cancer causers. So you can buy safer hair dye. The the, you know, when they were first created, they probably didn't last as good. They've gotten better. But also, um, if you just keep it from touching your scalp, you will m minimize a lot of the toxicity, but it's hard because the root problem, right? So you have to be careful not to touch it. But I I would simply go with the more natural ones now. So, you know, telling women not to use hair dye might be a problem.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

Yeah. I mean, well, there are good ones out there.

Dr Pompa 12:58

I you probably know that, but I don't know. I do.

SPEAKER_01 13:00

I do know. I actually chose about nine years ago to stop coloring my hair. I used to be a bleach blonde and I was using organic bleach. And I for a while I was like tricked by that. Um, and then I realized like bleach is bleach, whether it's organic or not. And really, what is organic bleach?

unknown 13:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

That's what my hairdresser was telling me. And so I decided to stop coloring my hair. Um and, you know, I think there are some good things out there. There's some hemp out there that if you have dark hair, it's actually easier than light hair. Um, because hemp is a good one for coloring your hair dark. Getting your hair lighter, there's always going to be chemicals. As at right now on the market, there's chemicals. But Aveda is a healthier, you know, way to go. But I think you, you know, you answered this question about nail polish to me yesterday, actually, because I saw your wife's Instagram about dazzle dry. Yeah. Okay. You can see no nail polish on these fingers. And I thought, whoa, you know, Marilee's talking about dazzle dry. So I need to know, can I do dazzle dry?

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

And and you answered it perfectly, actually. And so I'm going to answer this question for you on the hair dye. It depends on where you're at with your health.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:12

Right. If you're in a health crisis, then absolutely use nothing toxic, period. No if, ands, or buts. But if you're in a place where your body is really strong, can you get away with some more natural hair dye or fingernail polish than the answers? Yes.

Dr Pompa 14:27

Yeah, exactly. And, you know, I learned that, you know, when I was sick, I could tolerate nothing, right? I I even the health, even the dazzle dry probably has some chemicals in it that some people might react to, but it's definitely, you know, avoids a lot of the big chemicals like formaldehydes and other hormone disruptors, right? So it's better and it works, right? People, you know, it has to work, right? It dries fast within five minutes and it's hard. You know, my wife had a good experience with it. But before that, she was healthy enough. She was like, I don't care. I'm just wearing wearing the eye polish, right? But, you know, once you cross a line on your illness, you know, go without.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. That was a great question. I'm so thankful for whoever asked that question.

Dr Pompa 15:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Um, because it is something, you know, I don't want to say near and dear to my heart, hair dye. But um, as women, a lot of times we identify with our hair.

Dr Pompa 15:20

Yeah, I I did a I did a video, Instagram video, and I probably didn't do a good job of giving alternatives. I had so many women mad at me, you know, and it and of course, yeah, exactly. I probably deserved that. Um, because you do, you have to give people alternatives, right? And I always I'm always balancing that thing of like, I don't want to be selling products all the time either, look that way. And so I, you know, it's like, here, this is the next thing. You know, I get nothing from Dazzle Dry. It was just the one my wife used. I don't, you know, want anything, don't need anything. Um, but people want the answer.

SPEAKER_01 15:56

That's right. We do want the answer. We do. Um, okay.

Dr Pompa 16:00

Well, although if Dazzle Dry hears this, send some. No, I'm kidding. I'm joking. Totally joking.

SPEAKER_01 16:05

She I don't think Marile would paint her own nails, would she?

Dr Pompa 16:07

Yeah, that's the problem. I wouldn't. I would not know how to do that. She'd go, no, you brought up a new point, though. So what she does is she'll go to the person and bring hers and say use this. There you go. So I'm glad you said that, actually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

That's good. I wouldn't even dare to try to paint my own nails. It would look horrible.

Dr Pompa 16:23

Yeah, no, I don't know that that's even. I mean, people do it. People do it. There's many talented people out there that can do that. That's actually humorous, the thing.

Mold Detection That Actually Works

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Okay. On a more serious subject, uh, one you talk about a lot as well, is mold. What device? I thought interesting that the question was, what device would you recommend to help detect? Mold, not test, but device, which is interesting. But um, I think you you are you have the answer. And it is actually slightly a device that does a test.

Dr Pompa 16:55

So is it okay? Um, um, I can't wait to hear this one. But anyway, no, because I mold testing is so hard. It's not easy. Okay. So I would say the best device is actually one with four legs. And, you know, it's a mold dog. You know, mold dogs work. Well, and it would I because people come in, the device that's used most often is a spore tray where it's a spore trap, is what it's called. It pulls air in and they let it run for a certain period of time and then they go back, oh, mold grew, right? Well, looking at air is very bad because oftentimes it's behind the wall and this there's not enough spore in the air. So not a you know, not going to show up on the test. So most often it's false negatives. All right. And then you can even have false positive because you have your windows open. It was an outside mold. So not great. Air testing can be done behind walls, specific spots, under synced with accuracy, right? So don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's dust testing called ERMI testing where they take dust. Well, that has problems too, because it's more of a history. Let's say you had a mold problem, you fixed it, the all it's still in the dust history. So it could look like you still have a mold problem, right? Um, and it depends on where you collect the dust, et cetera. You know, how much if people with who keep their windows open a lot, they actually have higher earming tests all the time. So it's not, there's black mold outside. There's all kinds of spores that we could detect on these tests and think they're bad. That said, when mold grows behind a wall and it's one strain, like Stachybatris, um uh, you know, uh there's other ones, um, Clostridium, uh, penicillum, you know, all these molds can accumulate in one area. If there's water that got wet behind drywall, there's paper back there on the drywall, there's insulation. And if that wasn't torn out and dried, you have mold behind that wall. You'll you'll never see it. You may not even smell it, but there's biotoxins that are making you and your family sick because when pressure changes, that air is exchanging with your regular air. So they estimate that 70% of homes built in the United States, because of the way we build them, have mold and it makes people sick. So um, I don't know. Is that there? Is there another device that I wasn't thinking about?

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Well, I was thinking about got mold. It seems a little bit more like a device that's a test.

Dr Pompa 19:23

Yeah, well, it's a way of drawing air, and they have a way of analyzing not just the spore, but some of the chemicals associated with mold. So got mold has stepped it up to another level. He, the owner of the company, will even tell you it's still not perfect, right? It's best, you know, the best test going, but it's still not perfect. Listen, oftentimes we say test the people, um, and then have an expert out to look around your house and say, I suspect there might be something here. And then they go in, exploration happened to me. I suspected that behind this one wall. Why did I suspect that? People in that room said, I don't sleep good. I could sometimes smell something, and yet the wall was dry, looked dry, no damage, nothing. No. So one day I said, just go in there. They tore it out. Sure enough, they found mold. It was basically coming from the outside up. Anyways, so sometimes detection, you have really good people. I just happened to my son Daniel. They brought an expert out, a building scientist, and he's he found it. He found multiple problems around the chimney where it wasn't sealed right around the foot. He basically was like you need a new roof. You know, and this guy, you know, he wasn't the remediator. He had no reason. He was getting paid whether you find something or not find something. So having a really good person look is key. Building scientists often are the people that you want. Um, I have a great guy that remediates, be careful with remediation because oftentimes they just come in and open up a wall. You don't ever do that. You build what is called a containment. So Jim Stevenson, Stevenson remediation, uh, this guy will actually help people in different parts of the country find someone good. But um you want to make sure that you're containing that area before you said please don't do that. Don't open things up. But, anyways, um, that's why mold dogs are so effective because they can smell what we can't smell. And they go right out. I had a friend uh that couldn't find it. He did three tests and he said emphatically that a nurse came in the house. Him and his family were sick, actually, two of them uh more so than the others. But uh, she came in and said, You have mold, and I think that's your problem. She sensed it, right? She didn't smell it, she sensed it. And he's like, No, I have I've done three tests. We don't know how him being in real estate, he was very emphatic. But she said, Why don't you bring this mold dog in? Here's the number. So, not feeling well for long enough, he does. Dog's in the house, 10 minutes, looks up, problem's up there. They go up, they found mold in the attic. The HV. HVAC system build up condensation. Someone stepped on one of the things, blah, blah, blah. But a lot of mold problems are in the HVAC systems and people are sick, unknowing. So inspect. And then also here's something new. I didn't finish this point. Test people. You can go to VCStest.com.

SPEAKER_01 22:19

Yes.

Dr Pompa 22:20

And you're looking. That's the most accurate test for testing a human. Those urine tests, not accurate. Blood tests, not accurate. This vision contrast test, actually the most accurate, not on kids, but on adults. You just went there because I asked you, hey, you know, is what's the cost of that? Have they raised it?$15.$15 still. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Yeah. Yeah. And you can do it right from your own home. Yeah, exactly. VCS test.com.

Dr Pompa 22:45

But follow the directions. Vcs test.com. Follow the instructions because you have to make sure your lighting's right. You have to make sure you're, if you wear glasses to see close, wear glasses. Uh you you follow the directions. Follow the directions.

Seminar Invite And Final Takeaways

SPEAKER_01 22:56

That's excellent. Actually, I think you know, a mold series would be really great because it's one of the root causes of why people aren't getting better. So this was a great question. So thank you to whoever asked it. Um, we are going to be talking about this at our seminar in October. Yeah. Um what's the dates? October 16th through the 18th. Okay. Yeah, it's going to be it's going to be in Houston, Texas.

Dr Pompa 23:19

And we're first public seminar. Yeah. I own I've done. Yeah. First public seminar.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

We're bringing in the experts and we're going to be talking about R1 and the perfect storm. What does that mean? It's the perfect storm. Why you can't get better. We got to get to the source.

Dr Pompa 23:34

We are going to be assessing people, having you with some of these tests we're talking about, assess looking for perfect storm. Meaning, and again, whether you're sick or not, everyone, the perfect storm can be there until you all of a sudden, boom, the perfect storm hits and you are sick, right? So um, yeah, it's it's gonna be a great seminar, very hands-on, very learning. I'm so excited because it's my first public seminar. Yes, I'm so excited.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Um, and then we get to meet all the people who've been watching you and following you and been in Pompa program. And so it's gonna be an amazing event. PompaLive.com is the website if you want more information about the seminar.

Dr Pompa 24:10

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Okay, well, that's all the questions for today.

Dr Pompa 24:12

Awesome.

SPEAKER_01 24:13

Great questions again.

Dr Pompa 24:14

Yeah, like and share this because so many people have these questions. Just that mold section. How many people that you know need to hear that? So please share, like because this message, we're taking it to the world. And by the way, God told me that through my wife. It's another story. I'll see you on the next episode of the Dr. Pompa podcast.
