The skin is the largest organ in the human body.One of it's primary functions is involved in the body's immune system.It acts as a an anatomical barrier from pathogens.Why would a healthy person want to bypass this important part of their immune system with an injection of a pathogen(and other toxic substances) directly into their circulatory system?
Did you know the word "fragrance" alone consists of 500-800 chemicals, which are carcinogens, neurotoxins, aldehydes, phenols, phthalates, ethanol, and the list is almost endless. None of the fragrance chemicals have ever been tested for safety, and they qualify as hazardous waste. It’s not just about air fresheners it’s about the ingredient “fragrance.” The worst part about today’s chemicals and products is that they do not even list the ingredients.
Most everything that says "fragrance" is typically produced synthetically-usually anything marketed to make something "smell good". This includes both cleaning supplies and air fresheners. A recent government report targeted these fragrances of 1 of 6 categories of chemicals that should be given the highest priority for neurotoxicity, testing along with insecticide, heavy metals, solvents, food additives, and air pollutants. Eight-four percent of the ingredients used in fragrances have never been tested for human toxicity, or have only minimal testing. These chemicals cause neurological damage, multiple-chemically sensitivity and increased immune response.
I use to wear perfume, use lotions from all those bath and body places, have those tree air fresheners in my car plus different glad plug ins in my home along with burning candles of every scent. I didn't know then what I know now and I didn't know the reason behind why I didn't feel good. I just thought it was just certain health issues and that was who I was. Air fresheners aren't the only reason I was sick but they added onto my burden of the other things.
I still use lotion (healthy and non-toxic lotions) and I even have an essential oil perfume I use from Whole Foods from time to time. Beeswax candles with non-lead wicks are what I use when I want to burn candles. I am just more cautious now and read the ingredients of everything I put on my skin and body.
Tip: Ladies when you buy beauty products, perfumes, lotions, research the ingredients and take it a step further and research the word "fragrance" and make sure its essential oils if you are making a switch. A lot of products today say "organic" and still use fragrance which is not good! I say this a lot in my blogs but please take note just because it says organic doesn't mean it is any better for you!
Ladies to research your beauty products go to this website and see what's in your lotions and make up. You want to stay under 5. 1 or 2 is best.

Understanding Neurotoxicity
One of my biggest challenges is trying to explain an illness to my family and friends that is not like any other illness approved in allopathic medicine.
My goal in this part of my blog is to break down to the best of my ability what happened to me in an easy to understand kind of way so everyone can hopefully understand why I am going through what I'm going through and why my goals are set to where they are set with health. I have both scientific backing and examples to help everyone understand below what is going on in Neurotoxic individuals.
A Neurotoxin is simply something that is "toxic" to our neurological system. ie: heavy metals, biotoxins such as mold, fibromyalgia, lyme, other infections or nerve stress such as physical trauma, emotional trauma, spinal misalignment's.
Your nervous system controls every part of your body. Hence why I am so passionate about ANYTHING that interferes with our nervous system.
Did you know that our bodies do not know the difference between emotional trauma, physical trauma and chemical stress? Isn't that interesting? Trauma is trauma, that's all our bodies know.
So what happens to our bodies when our bodies are faced with "trauma"?
Nitric Oxide + Superoxide = cellular oxidation & INFLAMMATION= drop in ATP (brain fog, poor digestion, etc) and glutathione. When this happens there is an increase in NMDA (NMDA is released through glutamate receptors which are most abundant in the brain and upper spinal cord.) Glutathione is a substance naturally produced by the human body through the synthesis of certain amino acids in the liver. It's also used by virtually every cell of the body to neutralize toxins.
What is NMDA? NMDA is a glutamate receptor, is the predominant molecular device for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function. Activation of NMDA receptors causes the spinal cord neuron to become more responsive to all of its inputs, resulting in central sensitization. NMDA-receptor antagonists, such as dextromethorphan, can suppress central sensitization. NMDA-receptor activation not only increases the cell's response to pain stimuli, it also decreases neuronal sensitivity to opioid receptor agonists.
If you don't understand the science above, really all you need to understand is "INFLAMMATION" and that it causes disease.
What is inflammation? Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.
Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.
Example 1: A person gets in a auto accident and ends up with fibromyalgia. WHY? The abnormal amounts of NMDA which feeds into an already stressed system causes this to occur which ultimately causes an abundance of INFLAMMATION-chronic inflammation.
Inflammation wrecks havoc in so many ways. Ultimately the main goal is getting to the "CAUSE" as to why a person is chronically inflamed and avoiding things that cause more inflammation in the process.
What causes more inflammation when a person is already chronically inflamed?
Grains, Sugars, more stress (emotional, toxic, nerve).
Examples of trauma:
Emotional Trauma=death in family
Physical Trauma or nerve stress=car accident
Heavy Metals=vaccinations, amalgam fillings, metals from mom, environments, etc.
Biotoxins=Mold, Infections, Lyme
Example 2: So you have someone who has 13 amalgams in their mouth which started being drilled in at age 9 along with emotional trauma, along with nerve stress along with toxins from mom (by the way whatever mom has carries onto baby) along with bad diet, along with more emotional trauma, environmental toxins, and more fillings and you have a sick patient who starts developing, GI issues, gallbladder issues, overweight, sleep issues, anxiety, etc.
So what did the medical community do in this case? They wanted to remove the gallbladder, prescribe prescription medication, vaccinate them because it's been a long time since they've received up-to-date vaccinations and send them on their way instead of getting to the cause.
That was a simple version of what happened to me.

BUT...."You only live once.."
"If I would have known I was going to live so long I would have taken
care of myself" famous line from Dr. Dan Pompa's father.
Dr. Pompa's father spent the last 15 years of his life not being to do the things he loved to do. He suffered from degenerative conditions which robbed of his vitality. If it was just about living longer you are right why bother unfortunately that is not the reality its about living longer healthy with vitality.
-Dr. Daniel Pompa
I, personally, watched and took care of my grandparents towards the end of their lives as well. They too suffered from degenerative disease. It has given me purpose to want to reach out there and help others not have to suffer from these degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and heart disease like my grandparents did. Yes, you could have been born with bad genes but that doesn't mean you have to spend the rest of your life suffering because of those genes.

Detoxing with DMSA
I have been taking DMSA, approximately 1x a month, is my guesstimate because I never wrote it down for 18 months now NOT including the heavy metal detox I was doing with the amalgam left in my mouth, which was about 3 months.
I just finished up a round today and when I woke up this morning I felt so tired and I really didn't think I was going to be able to get out of bed. But I have days when I'm not taking DMSA that I feel like this but more so on day 4 of DMSA I would say it's more of a whole body exhaustion then a "I just can't get out of bed feeling."
Every round of DMSA at this point is different. I felt pretty good up until this morning where before I would experience bizarre symptoms or feeling that tired feeling prior to day 4. I am now starting to come around and feel like I have some energy coming on.
18 months and I'm still going..
18 months and I'm still pulling this stuff out of me ..
18 months and I still face a road ahead of me that seems never ending ...
But good news .. I've made it 18 months... I never thought I'd make it 1 year and yesterday when I realized I have been detoxing for 18 months it was the best news ever.
I have a road to go but I just wanted to be able to inspire you who are going through a battle or struggle yourself where you may need that extra push. Don't give the fight, even when you are at the end of your rope..hang on..and keep fighting this fight! You will gain your health back..I have little by little each round of detox I make it through and I can't thank God enough for pulling me through each time.

Words of Encouragement
It’s about the journey, not the destination.
When you feel discouraged or if you are going through a difficult time remember that it’s not about destination, but the journey you are taking to get to the destination.
In life, we are faced with obstacles and sometimes it seems as though we will never see an ending to certain road blocks in our lives. I can assure you I have been faced with many road blocks throughout my life so far. It’s about keeping on when you don’t feel like it. It’s about pushing through when you think you can’t. Don’t give up. Don’t be discouraged. Hang in there. Easy to say right? I could never say it if I hadn’t been through trials myself.
When I was at my sickest there were days I didn’t know how I was going to get through. For some reason I always felt better at night, barely making it through the day and I actually have days still where I am better at night then in the morning. We joke at our office about “morning Heather” and “afternoon Heather.” Some days, especially during detox I can get a little grumpy. But soon as the afternoon comes I’m feeling better. There is reasoning behind this and that is your body builds up inflammation at night from moving toxins around. When you wake up, your cortisol drops in morning (it’s supposed to rise) from the toxins which interfere with your adrenals.
I truly thank God He has placed people in my life that can joke about this and put up with me! When I’m feeling like “morning Heather” it’s hard to keep the mind set on the journey and stay focused and determined. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “why can’t I just be normal.” It’s so easy when I’m not feeling well to fall into the frustration and start asking “why.”
This applies to life in general whether or not you have a neurotoxic illness or not, when your down or something is bothering you have to keep on keeping on. The reason I say this is because the more you feed a negative issue the more negative and down you become. You have to surround yourself around good people that will help lift you up and also support you. Sometimes in life we are “waiting” .. waiting for our hope, dream, desire or goal to come true. During the “waiting” times, it can be so easy to give up and become depressed, down and out especially when things do not go as planned. That is where we need to NOT allow ourselves to go. We need to be stronger and push through it and find a way to overcome our challenges. Personally, my hope is in the Lord. He has brought me through trials I never thought I could get through. He is my hope, my dream, my desire. He is the one that places confidence deep inside to push through whatever trial I’m going through.
Yes, I’m human and I’ve experienced times where I wanted to give up, throw in the towel and yes I’ve even thrown grown up tantrums. I’ve even had it out with God himself because I was so frustrated that I didn’t think I’d see the destination I was hoping for. But then He showed up, brought me through it and I was okay. So I’m here today to tell you to keep moving along.. keep pushing through whatever the issue that lies deep inside that bothers you. God knows the desire in your heart and he wants to bless you!
Remember the journey is the reward!

Change.
Change is hard for some of us, more than others. Change can make a person, break a person or do both at the same time. Sometimes all any us really need is just that. I don't do well with change for the most part, especially the change that creeps up on you and bites you when your not looking. I can speak from experience and also from frustration that lies deep inside, especially the frustration that I cannot change. I know now that I cannot change anyone personally unless they want to change. It took me over a year of working at Pompa Health Solutions to figure that one out. With that said, I don't stop living the way I live or talking about it for that matter. If you know me personally, you know how the change that creeped in and bit me now has made such an amazing difference in my life today. The change in my life started out rough, but now has helped me become who I am today and I couldn't thank God enough for that. Getting sick was definitely a valley and a rough road in my life. The Road Back to Health at times was difficult and guess what-it STILL is! But I was determined and still am determined!
Did I do it overnight? I can assure you I did not. I was practicing better health and nutrition before I started working at Pompa Health Solutions. I started with bettering my health and basic nutrition and choosing healthier eating habits. Committing to a lifestyle change was #1, not the "Cellular Healing Diet."
When the "Cellular Healing Diet" was introduced to me I was so sick that I didn't care about not having certain foods that I loved-I just wanted to feel better. It's hard for me today to sit back and watch people, especially the ones I love, not want to change the way they eat or their unhealthy environment. My passion radiates to all because I would never want anyone to go through what I had to go through, but yet at the same time I’ve learned, and I'm still learning, that I have to sit back and trust in God and His plan for everyone around me. With that said, that doesn't mean I'm going to give up and quit trying to educate the world and the ones I love. All I can do is educate and pray and equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to start their own lifestyle change to better health.
The reason I sit before you now and type what I type is not to try and change you. YOU have to WANT to change yourself-which is Step #1! Step#2 is wanting to hear the truth and accepting it and Step#3 is applying the truth to your life. So, if want to change and you want to hear the truth, keep reading. And by the way, there is a difference between truth vs. opinion. What I am stating is truth and facts PERIOD, not just an opinion.
Why am I so big on diet change? There is so many reasons why diet is #1 and why you have to start there. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. It's not don't eat this, don't eat that it's changing your thought process and accepting that this is how I eat now and it's not about what you can't have anymore, it's about what you can have. In the world we live in today I can assure you that your bucket can overflow. You may not experience exactly what I did but you may be experiencing some symptoms like high blood pressure, GI issues (IBS, acid reflux) anxiety, and the list goes on. So you run to your doctor or even Naturopath who who will prescribe you medication after medication or even supplement after supplement to cover up the symptoms. Covering up your symptoms is not the answer! Sure, you may be alright for the time being but I can promise it will only get worse as your bucket starts to overflow especially when more symptoms start occurring. What is “your bucket"? Your bucket is years of toxins, chemical interference, nerve interference, emotional trauma that add up. Think of a glass filling up with water and all that junk listed and then imagine it tipping over. My glass tipped over at age 26 and that’s why I got as sick as I did. You think you are "OK" now but if you experience any type of symptom or issue with your health there is a REASON behind why that is occurring. I had a LIST of symptoms and because I didn't know any better, covered them up with medications. So not only did the medications cover up symptoms in which ultimately I was not getting to the cause, but it added to my bucket. I do not believe in being drugged with prescription medications to cover up symptoms or even supplements for that matter-I wanted to get to the cause.

Sure, you may be alright for the time being but I can promise it will only get worse as your bucket starts to overflow especially when more symptoms start occurring. What is “your bucket"? Your bucket is years of toxins, chemical interference, nerve interference, emotional trauma that add up. Think of a glass filling up with water and all that junk listed and then imagine it tipping over. My glass tipped over at age 26 and that’s why I got as sick as I did. You think you are "OK" now but if you experience any type of symptom or issue with your health there is a REASON behind why that is occurring. I had a LIST of symptoms and because I didn't know any better, covered them up with medications. So not only did the medications cover up symptoms in which ultimately I was not getting to the cause, but it added to my bucket. I do not believe in being drugged with prescription medications to cover up symptoms or even supplements for that matter-I wanted to get to the cause.
