¶ Cold Open And Q And A Setup
You're gonna want to stay tuned for this episode of the Dr. Pumpa podcast. It's one of your favorite. Ask Dr. Pumpa anything. Oh, the questions this time. I think I was set up. Man, we had fun though, because you're gonna find out who my personal hero is. And I was set up for these questions because a lot of them are personal. Didn't know we were going there. I don't know the questions ahead of time. Uh, definitely didn't on this episode, but we do talk about detox when what I did.
You're gonna hear my son's story. It's gonna relate to a lot of people out there. Stay tuned. You're gonna love it. And I'm here with Andrea. Yep. I'm back. You become the one that are delivering the questions because they're making you uh research it. But uh well, I'm sure we'll bring some others, but we're stuck with you.
Yeah, they're stuck with me again.
I thought I'd get a better reaction on that. All right, anyway. Um, but so yeah, I can't wait because you told me. I don't know the questions, by the way.
Yeah, this is yeah, that's actually we should have said that from the get-go. Like you don't even know what these questions are. So I'm just wrapping up.
Yeah, but you told me that's why I opened the show with it because you said, Oh, you're gonna have fun with this. So I trusted her on this. Okay, yeah. So we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna have fun because some of the questions came in weren't about health, but they were about you. And I think that's really fun. So they want to get to know you.
It's good that I didn't know. I bet I might have said, yeah, we're not answering that. I still might say that.
Uh and you know what, you guys are asking amazing questions, and this has been really fun. And I think this is a really great way to to dive deep into some of the things that you talk about in your Instagram, on your other podcasts. And so this is really great. And you're being a really good, um, you're being really good at just letting me throw these questions at you. So for now. For now, for now. Okay, well, we're gonna go with a personal question. Um,
¶ Heroes And Hard Truths
this one here is who is your greatest hero?
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
See, yeah. See, isn't it funny how much harder these are for you? It's so hard.
I don't even know if I could answer that question.
Right. It's that's actually an easy one. Bobby Kennedy right now. Oh RFK Jr., I'm telling you, he look, I've known him for some years. I've sat across at you know tables with him. And um I can tell you his heart, even before he had aspirations of running for president being HHS, you know, he his heart has been kids, you know, children. And uh he is absolutely one of my heroes.
And what he's doing right now, um, dealing with the vaccine schedule, big agriculture, big pharma, I mean, he big chemical, every he is up against the giants. I don't know why people let politics uh, you know, get in the way because this man is doing nothing but good for the next generation. Nothing. I don't understand how people allow their politics. I'm telling you, if I was, you know, he was on the other side.
He came over, you know, because he realized that this is the group that's gonna support this agenda that I've given my life to. He lost family members. I mean, I'm telling you, he risked everything. He didn't care. And and yet people still criticize him. I I don't understand it. He's my hero. There it is.
I love it. You know, I remember the first time I saw him speak, it was at a seminar in California, and he told the story about how he wasn't at all interested in the vaccine cases, but it was moms who were dropping off case like loads, bins full of files on all these kids that had vaccine injury. And they he said at one point the files were my entire living room.
I know.
And it was like, I guess I'm gonna have to look into this. And he did.
Yeah, this woman, this that story goes, I don't remember her name. I I I forget her name, and um, but she kind of became famous because of it. He she was at one of his Mercury talks. I mean, he cleaned up Hudson. I mean, this guy, the left should love this guy, right? I mean, he cleaned up more the environment than anyone, and he did things that actually mattered, move the needle.
And um, she was at one of his lectures, she said, and she had a group of women behind her, if you really care about this subject of mercury and kids being poisoned by mercury, then you need to look into what's happening with vaccines. And he says, No, that's not my thing.
Right?
It's like, and she said, Well, it should be because da-da-da. And he passed it off, okay. I mean, you know, he was focused, but so she shows up like a mom does better than anybody. Not a lot of mom shows up in his doorstep, okay? And she has the stack that you kind of mentioned, right? And she's like, could you? He's like, Well, I'm going sailing. And, you know, it's like, and and you know, basically, you know, this is my plan. I don't have time to do that, right?
And she's like, Well, I can wait. He's like, Well, you know, I'm going sailing and I'm gonna be gone a long time. Well, he was gone like six hours, came back, she was still on his front porch. Wow. I'm sorry that today I guess she'd be arrested. But anyways, and she said, Well, you see, he's like, You're still here? And he says, Yeah, because kids are, you know, dying and being affected, driving autism unnecessarily. And he says, uh, what do you have?
And she and he takes it, he's like, Okay, I'll look at it and um, you know, I'll let you know what I think, or I'll pass it on to someone, whatever. Anyways, he stayed up that whole night, most of the night, and literally was shocked at the evidence that put him on the vaccine thing, like, wow, this is criminal. Anyway, that's a real story.
It reminds me of that movie Dark Waters.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Right? We don't have to go into it, but if you haven't watched Dark Waters, do.
Yeah, yeah. Forever the uncovering of Forever Chemicals. Uh, you know, I don't know that attorney, but he's on my hero list too.
Yeah. Same, same. Yeah. Okay.
¶ Who Would You Sit With
One more personal question. If you could sit down and talk with anyone, who would it be? And what would you want to discuss?
Well, again, um, that's a loaded question. Like love him or hate him, I would throw that Trump out there. I mean, come on. I mean, who wouldn't? Even the people on the left want to talk to him, right? And it's like, I mean, any side wants to talk to the guy. Uh, and man, I would just throw down, right? You're gonna get truth. Um, you know, but I I tell you, I have to add Bobby to that list too.
I mean, I I've done actually uh remember my Cellular Healing TVs, I did uh an interview with Bobby, but that's when I he'd come on any show. I would love to get him back on the Dr. Papa podcast, which there's a there's a chance. I see Bobby at a lot of things. I still talk to him. I I always feel like um he's so busy. And I and I just like oh man, you know, I'd feel really bad. But anyways, I would love to have a conversation with him.
Yeah, okay, I like that. Okay, well, let's talk about a few how things now. So
¶ Where Detox Really Starts
this is a loaded question, though. Where should someone start with detox?
At the cell. My saying is you gotta fix the cell to get well. More specifically, you have to detox the cell to get well. Uh, look, I I think if we wanted to really critique what is going on right now, people, if detox is in vogue, that's why the question was asked. And people are reaching for these cleanses. And I, you know, when I look at what's in them, I laugh. And my next words are are always, if it were only so simple.
I mean, to get toxins out like mercury, like aluminum, biotin, you need chelators. They have to be used correctly in their half-life. And real detox is you have to fix what's broken at the cell. Your cells are designed to remove toxins all day long. When that slows down, you start accumulating toxins, that's when the genes start getting triggered. That's when things go bad. That's when you can't make enough energy. That's when your hormones are start to not work despite taking them.
That's when nothing works. That's when diet doesn't work because your cells are inflamed. You get the point. Real detox happens right there. It starts right there to answer your question. And then we use real chelators and binders so we don't redistribute. This process, you know, I've taught for 20 years and you know, not stopping now. I mean, 20 years to doctors, but now bringing a message, you know, directly to people looking for one. People can go to pompaprogram.com.
I've done teachings there, more specifically, drawing the cell, et cetera. So yeah.
Pompaprogram.com, drpompa.com, you have a plethora of information for free online on all of these topics. Um my website. Yeah. And so with that though, how often
¶ Detox Cycles And How Often
do you detox?
Well, look, um, when I was getting massive amounts of mercury out of my brain, uh, I was doing cycles. And by the way, real detox is cycled, right? So three days on, four days off, seven days on, seven days off. Cycle length is determined by the person's feedback, right? So there's not detox in a box. It's kind of my point earlier. Um, what chelators use, what support you use, opening up the liver, the kidneys that you got. I mean, all of that is part of what I teach, right?
And that's different for everybody. So, um, how often do I do, even today? Matter of fact, I just stopped a cycle yesterday. My alarm kept going off because I was taking so I know because I was on a cycle and I finished yesterday. So I mean, I don't detox like I did before. I was very consistent, right? You know, weekly rest, weekly, you know, days on, days off. Very consistent for, you know, minimum two years. I I think I went really consistent for four years, truthfully.
But now I probably um take a few months off and then I do a cycle. But I still regularly detox. Because why? Because we live in this world. I'm getting exposed just like anyone else out there. I mean, come on, with microplastic exposure. I mean, I drink out of glass, but I still get exposed just like anybody. Pesticides, I eat at restaurants that all are organic sometimes. So you know, I'm smart enough to know that my cell, my my detox pathways maybe aren't the best.
And so I'm gonna detox always.
You have a really great analogy called the bucket that I think would be really appropriate here about the detox question, because I think a lot of people are under the impression you just detox one time, but they're not thinking about necessarily the world that we're living in.
¶ The Bucket Theory Explained
So can you draw the bucket and explain the theory?
It's embarrassing, actually. Okay, so um, look, genetically, some people have different, bigger buckets than others, right? The bucket theory just simply means from the womb to the tomb, we accumulate toxins. You said forever toxins. I talked about microplastics, we talked about mercury. These types of toxins build up over time. They do, and they accumulate. That's why typically, you know, people aren't getting sick until their 50s and 60s.
This generation is getting sick in their 20s and 30s, autoimmune. All of that is the accumulation of toxins, hormone disruption, and that happens in the cells, that happens in our tissues. But this is a good analogy of that because maybe your first exposure is in utero with mom. Mom has silver fillings. The drash study showed the number of silver fillings was proportional to how much mercury in the baby's brain. Mom has lead, it's stored in her bone. It's normal to lose bone during pregnancy.
Out comes lead into baby. So, first exposure there, some people get more than others. Then maybe there's a low-grade moldy home. Then they start vaccinations, get all kinds of toxins, and then they get their own silver fillings or whatever stressors, and boom, the bucket overflows. That's the day the symptoms start. And then what do people do? They start doing other things. Maybe it's medications, even adding more toxins to the bucket, but you never get well until you what?
You empty that bucket. That's why it takes time. You know, you're not going to sit in a sauna, take a 10-day cleanse, and empty that bucket that's accumulated from the womb to the tomb. And again, some people have smaller buckets, right? I, you know, I wouldn't say that's me, but maybe I'm not a large bucket, but I'm in between, which fill up quicker. That's why maybe you're sick, your husband's not, or vice versa.
Yeah.
Right. But one day, even the biggest buckets overflow, especially today, because of the amount of chemicals that we're all exposed to.
Yeah, you know, you you were mentioning some of those things like moldy home and mercury. And I know there's people out there that are like, I don't live in a moldy home. I don't have any mercury. My mom never had mercury. That's a rare person out there. But um, you know, if we think about our air, our water, our soil, our food, you don't have to have a moldy home or mercury to need detox.
No.
¶ Glyphosate And Childhood Cancer
No, there's a chemical called glyphosate, which you know, it is, it's in the air now. I mean, it's in the water. What are they saying? 60% of rainfall? They're detecting glyphosate. But I mean, it's in the food. Glyphosate in 2012, Stephanie Senna from MIT did a study showing that glyphosate opens up our protective areas, gut, brain, and allows even the toxins we're already housing to cross deeper into these tissue areas.
And she believes and others that it's leading to all these bizarre conditions that we're seeing today, even degenerative, neurodegenerative conditions. So yeah.
And you know, I I live here in Arizona, and I do think one of the most toxic things we have is our air because um, one, they spray herbicides on all the rocks to just hope that no weed ever grows. Uh, and then the other thing is everyone's afraid of the bugs here, so they spray pesticides. So you might have the perfectly cleaned house, but your neighbors probably don't.
I just had the fortunate and maybe unfortunate thing to sit in a room of um brilliant people uh talking about childhood cancers. And there was a boy that gave his story there. He was a teenager, and it was amazing. He did such a great job. Um, but what wasn't amazing is the conversation was all about genetics and genes.
And man, we are so blessed to live when we are because we're getting so billions of dollars worth of research, finding being able to code and fingerprint you know, people so we'll know exactly what drugs to give these kids. Hold on. It's like never once was it discussed of the cause of this. So I asked the question what changed from 1970? Childhood cancers have risen 67% from 1970. What changed? Did the genetics of the kids change? No. No, what changed?
Maybe there's something triggering and turning on these genes, and that's what we need to focus on. The the young man had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and there is billions of dollars being awarded for one chemical that they know causes it, especially in younger people, and that is glyphosate, the chemical they're spraying on our food that this generation, the first generation not to outlive their parents, is being massively hit by. And it was never brought up in the room.
And you know, when I asked the question, there was blank looks. It's like you know, I don't know if anyone wanted didn't want to hedge the question. I don't know. I I don't know, but the fact was, is that if anybody with a logical mind realized what's happened in the last 50, 60 years is the onslaught of chemicals, glyphosate just being one of them, direct link to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. That's why billions of dollars have been awarded.
And yet we're focused on trying to, you know, find out the gene mapping and the fingerprints so we can give them better drugs and more specifically the drugs. Look, I I I'm not against it, but I'm saying, what are we doing with our billions when we should be lobbying against these chemicals? And that's what Maha has been doing and Bobby and the whole Maha group.
Yeah, you know, one of the things we talked about yesterday actually was something that, you know, nobody's really spoken about, which is kids and how, you know, my kids at four years old and everybody that I know, you know, four years old, we have our kids on the soccer field. What's happening on that soccer field when we're not there, right? Herbicides, pesticides, they're spraying glyphosate. They're spraying glyphosate. They're also putting dyes on there to make the grass look green.
I mean, I'm in Arizona. Why do we have grassy fields? Um, and you know, what do four-year-old kids do when they're playing soccer? They're roll around. Yeah, they roll around in the ground, and and so, you know, it's it's just something for people to think about.
Well, by the way, there is actually new um studies looking at this problem because they're they're noticing that kids that play on fields have a higher rate of some of these cancers. So it the the question is, is could it be the chemicals? I would say it is. I studies are going to show this as they're doing them now. But yes, I I think that, you know, by the way, that the gent uh kid that told a story was a football player.
Yeah. So I'm gonna ask nobody asked this question, but I'm gonna ask it.
¶ Can Kids Detox Daniel’s Story
Can kids detox?
Absolutely. And today they have to.
Yeah, they have to. I've been detoxing my kids.
And by the way, I I just want to point this out. I it watch the other episodes, even some of the question episodes like this when asked Dr. Pompa anything. Um, we discussed real detox because it's not sitting in a sauna, it's not taking the 10-day cleanse, it's not taking Corella, it's not like that. Real detox is upregulating cell function, using chelators correctly. That's real detox. Kids should detox, and you're saying you've detoxed your kids.
Yeah. Ever since ever since I learned about your detox, I've had my kids. Every one of my kids. Yeah. You know, we really have to be thinking about preventative instead of being reactive to when symptoms come on. So um when should someone start detoxing?
Well, look, uh we were forced to detox our kids. Remember, I I always say some of the biggest exposures are in utero. And um my son, our first son, Daniel, he came out, he had just gut problems. He never slept well. You know, you as a parent, you just think it's this, it's that, right? Later, as he got a little older, I mean, I I mean he was two years old, we could tell that he was having gut issues. And so I was working with some of my wife's hormone issues and realized she has massive lead.
And then it struck me. It's like, oh my gosh, you know, he probably has lead issues, so we had to detox him earlier. Now, here's the thing as a teenager, so she he got mom's lead, which is the number one source when women are pregnant. Lead is stored in the bone. It's normal to lose bone during pregnancy because of hormone estrogen shifts. Out comes the lead into Daniel. It ended up on all my kids, by the way.
We we literally have lead to I show them sometimes when I do the lecture off the chart. My wife's Daniel's Isaac's, right? I think the only one I didn't have was Simon's. But anyway, um, each cat, each kid got lower, by the way. So it was like if I had it, I kept telling her, just keep having kids and you'll get healthier and we'll just have more unhealthy kids. Yeah. But anyway, um, no, I didn't say that. Okay, I didn't really say that. But um, so we started to detox him.
As he became a teenager, he was on a ski team, he had a ski uh scholarship, and he had this nagging injury to the point where they thought he was faking it. And I tried everything. We took him to this, you know, it was a compartment syndrome, and um and they couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out, and then it hit. Oh my gosh, he's going through puberty. Lead's coming out again. I found that a study on that, and it's another time lead pours out of his bones, and sure enough, that was it.
We started detoxing him again, and lo and behold, all the you know, his tendonitises, if you will, you know, went away.
So yeah. You know, like the like the episode we had before on mold, that could be a series. Detox definitely needs to be a series. We just, you know, touched up on a few things with detox.
Yeah, you know, I I like it better in the question and answer type like this, because if I just monologue about it, um I I I feel like some of the questions don't get answered. And it's a big subject, and I I feel like I could do it better like this. So I think we'll do a whole like QA about just detox.
Yeah.
¶ Questions Next Time And Closing
Well, you know what? You heard you heard them say it. So start sending us your questions on detox, on mold, really anything. Keep sending us your questions because we'll keep doing these episodes. I think they're great. I appreciate you for doing this, and I know the audience does as well. And that's all the time we have for this episode.
Hey, listen, share, always share and like it because people need to hear just that, right? Maybe it's a child who's struggling with something. Oh my gosh, that makes so much sense. Maybe they have lead, maybe they have mercury. Who knows? There's so many toxic exposures. But again, people need to know what to do about it. So stay tuned for even the X episode on detox mold. We're gonna do all these. Uh, the Dr. Pump Podcast, follow us.
