So what happened next?
I was heavy metal detoxing for 3+ months with an amalgam left in my mouth!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN & WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? To say the least, I went backwards! I gained 15+ pounds back and I felt HORRIBLE! I had a lot of re-occurring symptoms PLUS new ones I had not experienced before. I begged and pleaded to the Lord crying out for Him to help me. I spent sleepless nights on my knees in prayer. Oh, the blessings of absolute submission to Christ! What a blessing to lose our own strength, wisdom, plans, and desires and to be where every ounce of our being becomes like a peaceful Sea of Galilee under omnipotent feet of Jesus. The main thing is to suffer without becoming discouraged. –quoted from Streams in the Desert! That devotional is such an INSPIRATION and I recommend EVERY one of you get a copy of this!
I can’t thank the Lord enough for showing me when he did and not allow me to go further heavy metal detoxing. The following week after it was confirmed there was an amalgam, it was removed that week. I'm just now (1 year and 17 months later) starting to feel better each day. I still have moments but I’ve come so far and with that said I still have a LONG way to go! I just started this process! It’s been over a year since that incident. I'm currently on a DMSA cycle as I write this now and the first 3 days were good, now I'm starting to feel not so good (day 3 into 4). Miserable, fatigue, feeling of anxious every once in a while (but not BAD anxious like it use to be-THANK GOD) and I just don't feel like myself. I still get the metal taste in my mouth when I detox and my hands and feet turn to ice- that is mercury folks! It’s been 4 months (2nd time around) so far on DMSA on/off and I’m still pushing through. Good news when I’m off cycle I feel really good! When I first started taking DMSA a few months back I felt better when I was on cycle vs. off cycle. I sleep fairly well, minus the fact that I have to get up and take a pill. I had an experience this cycle where the alarm woke me up to take the pill and I got a little startled w/ anxiety (adrenaline). I fell back to sleep about an hour later. My GI was wrecked prior to starting this round along w/ candida flare ups. Soon as I got on cycle I had no more candida (itchy ears) and my GI got better. I have a loss of appetite this round of DMSA which I'm NOT complaining about, but it’s the first time this has happened.
My Helpful Tips …
Tip#1 - Vitamin c flushes are KEY when you start to not feel well on and OFF cycle.
Tip#2 - Cytocatch at night-it’s a MUST!
Tip#3 - Extra antioxidants and extra SLEEP and rest is NEEDED!
Tip#4 – Warn those around you that you are detoxing and caution them to mood swings ;)
Tip#5 – Streams in the Desert is a MUST.
Also, when I’m off cycle I’ll work on supporting my kidneys, liver and gut and also do a few vitamin c flushes after then load up on probiotic. I also take a multivitamin/mineral during my off cycle and sometimes even when I’m on cycle. Paleomeal every day (at least 2 shakes on and off cycle helps too).
NOTE: The above statement has not been regulated by the FDA nor is it a protocol. These are just the steps that I take personally. Do not attempt this on your own and you must consult with your physician before beginning any process of heavy metal detox or amalgam removal.
A little more about me …
Each of our bodies are different yet similar when we are toxic. In this case, I’m extremely toxic with heavy metals. I would like to find a way to upload my Autism Panel from Laboratoire Philippe Auguste so you all can see these results. The results indicated elevated levels of mercury and lead with brain inflammation present which means I could easily be diagnosed with autism and being on ADD spectrum-makes perfect sense! I have problems with focusing and paying attention to detail ESPECIALLY if I have no interest along with a handful of other symptoms I experience. I use to be worse with attention span and details. I’ve come a long way and have gotten a lot better. But with that said, I have a long way to go so it is IMPERATIVE I keep at what I am doing and some days when I’m discouraged I need nudged along the way during the process which is why I’m so blessed for my family & friends and especially my family at Pompa Health Solutions. The coolest part is how dialed into my body I am. I know when certain foods I eat make me not feel so well. I know what my GI can handle not just food but supplement wise too. I know when I’m ovulating- YES even ovulating! Some say I know too much for my own good but I consider it a BLESSING! It’s so incredible diving into the “why’s” and “how to’s” learning about your body that God has created. The things to do and not do. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; Corinthians 6:19.

My Story
2007
At this point in my life things seemed to be going great. I had a fun life, fun friends and a great career but something was still missing career wise. I was working as a Junior Unix Administrator at the time which was a great opportunity with a chance to become a Senior Administrator one day. The money was GREAT! After a few months I didn't like what I was doing for multiple reasons. I wouldn't say I hated my job and I was thankful for the opportunity but I never fell in love with what I did. I knew in my heart I was capable of more than what I was called to at that given time in my life. I knew I could make a difference in others lives but I didn't know exactly what I was to do. I pondered going back to school for teaching or even something in the medical field where I could help others. I cried out to God in tears some nights asking for help and direction. I knew I needed to go back to school and at this point finishing my degree was a start. I ended up quitting my job as a Unix Administrator to go back to school and finish my degree.
I worked as a secretary close to home while I was in the process of starting school. After about 6 months in this position I was let go. At this point, I couldn't find work so I was forced to file for unemployment. During my time off of work I started not feeling so well. My doctor said it was depression from not working but I refused to believe it was depression-this wasn’t depression. My blood pressure started to elevate to 190/110 on some days. I had anxiety, feeling of hopelessness, sleepless nights, hearing my hear beat every time I laid down at night, restless night sleep even if I slept 9 + hours, sound, light sensitivity and more. My doctor then wanted to put me on high blood pressure medication. I filled the script but never took the medication. At this time in my life I had been on birth control for 8 years or so on/off along with other medications here and there. I had been taking birth control since I was 17 because I never had regular menstrual cycles. I asked my doctor if she thought that the birth control could be causing these problems and she said no. She also said that if I stopped I could cause more stress on my body because then my hormones would really go out of whack. Well, I stopped anyways and listened to my body. I started to feel better and these health issues I was having only motivated me to start my own health journey. I started eating better and breaking bad habits with my health. At this point I wasn't completely better but I was off to a start at getting well again but something was still not right.
I started to feel a little better and I knew I wanted to finish school and I needed money to do so. I started searching for positions on the internet and I came across an ad for a Holistic Health Manager and a Nutrition Assistant. These jobs seemed very interesting to me especially since I just changed my lifestyle from the old ways to the new ways. I applied and the next day was called in to interview for these positions at Pompa Health Solutions and a few weeks later I was hired as the office manager.
2008
How exciting to start a new career and also to learn more about this way of life. I didn't tell anyone at Pompa Health Solutions at first about my problems other than the high blood pressure part. Warren & Dr. Pompa will tell you they knew I was toxic from the first day they met me and they still gave me a chance ;). I did tell them I had anxiety every once in a while but I didn't make a big deal of it because I was embarrassed. I didn't tell really anyone how sick I really was, not even my family. Some of my friends knew, some didn't, I just kept it all to myself pretty much. During my first few weeks I finally felt more at peace in my life and thought "what a great place to work, I'm truly blessed to be a part of this mission!" School was out of the question at this point. I knew I wanted to go back to school to finish my degree at some point but this new job seemed very interesting-it seemed like it was the starting path to my new career. After a few weeks of working at Pompa Health Solutions, I have to admit I questioned it all. I doubted doctor’s period.
One day in a team meeting, God spoke through Dr. Pompa to me and my heart was changed ever since. I felt safe with Dr. Pompa at this point, I trusted him especially after I heard his story. I then heard Warren's story, Dylan's story, Anne's story, Jessica's story, and so many more and then I knew I was in the right place.

Just an update: I am currently doing much better today as I write this, I'm 60lbs thinner and I've found out WHY I have the issues I have been facing for a long time now. I had 13 amalgam (silver) fillings in my mouth and the curve in my neck that was reversed. I started with getting chiropractic care and I also started the Cellular Healing Diet. Then, I scheduled an appointment at the dentist and had my silver fillings removed which was a long process, financially, physically and mentally to wrap my head around. But I did it, and I arranged to have them removed. (CAUTION: Do not just go out and get your amalgams removed. If you do not follow proper protocol prior to getting the amalgams removed you can become very sick.)
I was finally amalgam FREE! I knew the next step was heavy metal detox. I was detoxing (heavy metals) for a little over 3 months and on Mother's Day 2009, my mom and I were driving to church and she said "You have an amalgam filling in your mouth"
There is NO way I thought but it was true. I did have an amalgam filling left in my mouth (a small one of the side-hard to even see!) During these 3 months of detox it had seemed as if I went backwards a little. I had packed on 15lbs and felt the worst I could possibly feel but I had thought it was all a part of the detox process. I went back to the dentist and the amalgam was removed and I just recently started the heavy metal detox again.
Currently, I’m STILL picking up the pieces from that incident. It took about 8 months to get back on track. I am feeling better but still have my struggles. For the most part, THANK GOD, I have my life back but it’s still a rough road at times that I’m traveling on.

"If we are ever to rise above mere human strength, and experience the power of the life of Christ in our mortal bodies, it will be through the process of conflict that could very well be called the "labor pains" of the new life. Satan cannot extinguish what God will pour oil on so we can burn brightly."
