Pain Sucks Episode 018 – The role of Toxins in Chronic Pain with Dr. Scott Richmond

Dr. Scott was a lifelong athlete who battled lots of illness and pain.  These experiences led him to Athletic Training and eventually on to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. 

After battling multiple health issues including Mold poisoning and Lyme Disease and healing himself of these naturally Dr. Scott now exclusively works with those whose lives have been affected by Toxins and Toxicity.

He addresses many things in his practice but understands and incorporates principles stating that all areas of life must be evaluated for someone to heal. 

• The human body is energy and chemicals!
• Nowadays Detox is more important that nutrition!

Based off studies in 2015 concerning placental blood in the cord the likeliness of every human being toxic is 100% simply from heavy metals from mom and pesticides etc.  These toxins can wreak health havoc from birth and show up later in life in the form of symptoms. Toxins especially love fat and nerves, so they bury themselves in the brain and fatty areas of the cells.   

One growing area is glyphosate or Round Up being found in soft tissue injuries.  Pesticides destroying our bodies.

Role of Cellular Healing

• Each cell has an outer membrane made up of 2 layers of fat
• Toxins bind to the receptors meant for healthy chemicals and cause congestion and cellular inflammation.
• Inside each cell has organs which also have layers of fat making up their membranes
• One specific organ is the mitochondria or energy center and needs to be addressed when handling toxin removal.

The process of toxin removal is not one size fits all but in general the order is necessary. 

1. Remove Toxins
   1. Must heal outer cell membranes by eating lots of healthy fats (grass-fed butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, www.SCTOIL.com) which will open channels to the inside of the cell
2. Raise Cellular Energy
   1. Inside will also benefit from healthy fats but now also adding Selenium, Iodine, Minerals, and Oxygen will help the cells begin to dump toxins out of the cell into the organs of Excretion like the Liver and Gall Bladder and Kidneys and Skin.
3. Get the Toxins out (super important and often left out as toxins will rebind)
   1. Coffee enemas and palmitic acid in the coffee force the liver and gall bladder to cleanse and dump so it can bind the toxins in the bile duct and get it in the toilet before they reabsorb into the body.
   2. Hydration is a must so the kidneys can process and get rid of toxins.
   3. Castor Oil packs are amazing ways of assisting the organs
   4. Movement to stimulate Lymphatic System. Rebounding, walking, stretching all get the lymphs to move and help drain.
   5. Great nutrition helps the gut health for this process.

A typical cleanse is not a detoxification as it likely will only clean outside the cell and not the inside and may likely increase reactions and cause more long-term illness.

Again, the order is very important, and each stage is managed and has its own protocols. 

Dr. Scott 5 recommendations for those in Chronic Pain

1. Bedtime Routine is a must including stretching before bed
2. Lemon Water assists the Kidneys in filtration and binding of toxins
3. Tablespoon or more of Himalayan Sea Salt daily to stimulate the sodium/potassium pump.
4. Sleep
5. Coffee Enemas to get the cleaning going.
