"Copper is the “Achilles Heel” of the human body and the ultimate anti-microbial mineral. All pathogens cave in the presence of copper.” – Morley Robbins
Copper is the single most important nutrient in the body. Copper is needed by every cell and organ in the body. the body increases copper levels to help heal diseased tissues, explaining the associations that are not causations. This is why copper is the target for deprivation and depletion.
A common theme you hear when sharing scientific studies about copper online is "I'll consult my doctor," or "You should consult your doctor before supplementing." Why? Nobody consults a doctor before every meal. Nobody consults a doctor before drinking a glass of water. Nobody consults a doctor before taking Vitamin C. Nobody consults a doctor about virtually any other supplement.
Nobody says to ask a doctor before you decide to take a breath. It's absurd. Because without breathing, you know you will die.
Without copper, you die.
Copper is not a prescription medicine, and anyone can buy it over the counter at health food stores or online, If you can even find it because it's a rather unpopular supplement. And doctors do not automatically learn of the nearly 6000 articles on copper that are published each year. There is no way they can keep up, even if they were superhuman. And they have no financial incentive to tell us all how to be healthy for free. Not even dumb doctors will put themselves out of business.
An "average" IQ doctor, who knows less than nothing about copper, believes a host of lies about copper, and can't cure anything, and has monetary conflicts of interest, and an average intelligence, is the last person I would consult about copper. But it turns out that doctors are not smart. An "average" IQ doctor, who knows less than nothing about copper, believes a host of lies about copper, and can't cure anything, and has monetary conflicts of interest, and an average intelligence, is the last person I would consult about copper. If you insist on asking your doctor about copper, then you should ask him hard questions, based on facts you have learned here. He won't be familiar with any of the real information about copper. He will likely have faint knowledge about the common misunderstandings of copper, and think of those misunderstandings as reliable facts.
You will likely hear your doctor say "copper is toxic" if you get too much. Simply ask him for evidence of that. He likely won't be able to provide any evidence of a kind that has not already been refuted. If he shows you anything, check to see if it is an intervention study or association study. It will likely be associational study and use the words "linked." If its an intervention study, where they actually gave people copper, they likely gave less than 2 mg. which is too little copper, not enough to even cure a deficiency, and then lame copper as toxic.
We have this incredibly important metal playing very strategic roles in the body. There are only four things that copper does in our metabolism. Only four. Creates energy, clears exhaust, catalyzes enzymes, and combats all enemies, bacteria, fungus, and parasites.
Because copper bonds to fluoride, it is one of the most widely slandered supplements and nutrients out there. About 50% of the population of the USA still drinks tap water, which contains fluoride. Fluoride in the water is an acid, and it binds to copper in the pipes and strips the copper from the pipes. And there are many other sources of fluoride that people don't know about. Fluoride disrupts copper metabolism. The average person has 2600 mg of fluoride in their body and only 77 mg of copper.
Fluoride lowers ceruloplasmin, a key copper enzyme in the blood. this tends to cause copper to accumulate in the tissues, yet the person tends towards copper deficiency because the copper cannot be properly transported to where it needs to go. Copper is also one of the least championed supplements out there, there are only 2 books available on the subject.
The corporate US government has set the "tolerable upper human limit" on copper at 10 mg. While they do not ban studies above this level, studies on what copper does above this level are also very rare. There is a clear risk of copper deficiency. Most people in America may be suffering from copper deficiency. Probably well over 80% to 90%, and perhaps nearly everyone, such as over 99.99% of people, which means, yes, you.
Copper increases energy, makes you smarter, heals the nerves, boosts mood, builds muscle, burns fat, converts cholesterol into testosterone, increases circulation, colors hair, prevents wrinkles, eliminates pains, is anti inflammatory, heals joints, increases red and white blood cells, boosts immunity, kills germs, improves a suntan, provides color for hair, detoxes heavy metals and fluoride, and much more.
81% of Americans do not get even 2/3 of the absurdly low 0.9 mg. RDA for copper. Nearly all the top 20 causes of death involve copper deficiency. Copper actually cures all the symptoms that the top 50 drugs are prescribed for, except potassium! Copper deficiency appears to be implicated in nearly all of the most common causes of death! Increasing copper intake will dramatically improve a wide variety of health issues, increasing the quality of life.
Copper deficiency symptoms like anemia, bleeding, sweating heavily, joint pain, muscle pain, neuropathy, brain fog, involuntary napping, low energy, depression, fainting, and many other things. are not things we will tolerate when there is no reason for it. So we take copper.
Many of the things that copper does in the body appear to keep us both looking and feeling younger. Increased collagen eliminates wrinkles. Increased dopamine and melanin helps to increase the color of the hair, reducing grey hair. Increased collagen strengthens bones, joints, muscles, and eliminates many body aches, arthritis, and other such connective tissue disorders. Increased collagen eliminates many other signs of aging: such as aneurysms, and heart conditions. Increased ATP boosts energy. Copper kills germs, boosts immunity, and increases red and white blood cells.
Copper also helps a wide array of diseases, discomforts, problems, and ailments that are not generally listed as "causes of death." These issues are arthritis and other connective tissue disorders such as hemorrhoids and hernias; Alzheimer's, MS, and other nerve and brain disorders; bone, muscle, skin, circulation, heart, kidney, liver disorders; hormone, neurotransmitter disorders, cholesterol disorders, bleeding disorders, ulcers, heavy periods, anemia, and adrenal fatigue.
And as copper helps to detox fluoride, too, then copper helps fix a list of 180 symptoms associated with fluoride toxicity, including cancer. It might be a shorter list to consider what body parts do not need copper, but as of yet, none have been found. After all, all body parts need access to the blood and nerves, at the least, including hair follicles and teeth, and yes, copper is great for the hair and teeth. Every cell in the human body needs copper for a wide array of cellular reasons: for strong cell walls and a stronger cell wall of the nucleus, for the DNA, and for the mitochondria to make ATP for energy.
Copper is toxic at 20,000 mg. Helping prove that copper is extremely safe at 1 to 100 mg. Nobody gets diseases or dies from copper supplements.
The RDA for copper was entirely shoddy and unscientific, with no testing done, with a disclaimer that further testing and study was required, which was never done. When you go above the tolerable upper human limit, and take more copper, you'll discover significant improvements in your own health, ranging from extra energy, extra brainpower, less sweating, less muscle pain in workouts, and difficulty even achieving delayed onset muscle soreness from intense workouts.
Research on copper is limited in many ways. Copper has many interaction effects on many other minerals, and it appears that these interaction effects are curvy curves. At very low levels of calcium, copper is not absorbed as well. Then, with some levels of calcium, calcium helps a body absorb and utilize copper better than without enough calcium, calcium helps a body absorb and utilize copper better than without enough calcium. Copper helps the body put calcium into the bones, so they work well together. But at higher levels of calcium, calcium can block copper, preventing its absorption.
Over 45 things block copper, including B vitamins, Vitamin C & D, iron, zinc, fluoride, plant foods, sugar, cholesterol, exercise, sweat, sunlight, alcohol, prescription drugs, pain relievers, toxins, parasites, and many more.
We all know the importance of vitamins and minerals in maintaining human health, but modern medical science often has a major misunderstanding of how these essential nutrients interact with one another. Copper is the ultimate example of this phenomenon. The mineral copper serves a vital role of the health of the cell and production of mitochondrial energy. It acts as a biocompatible semiconductor within the cell, supporting the movement of electrons from one point to another within the body. It also directly interacts with many other important minerals like magnesium and iron and the relatively unknown protein ceruloplasmin. Deficiencies of this vital mineral can shut down the processes of the cell and destroy energy production. With the hinderance of important cell functions and energy production disturbed the only logical conclusion is disease.
Ayurveda medicine traditionally uses copper vessels to store water and they believe that this metal played an important role in balancing the doshas. Copper has been used for thousands of years to purify water as well since it is able to kill harmful microbes, fungi, and bacteria. This process is called the Oligodynamic Effect. The Ayurveda tradition additionally evidenced the healing properties of copper, and is one of the first examples of supplementing the human diet with trace minerals. Modern scientific researches have supported many of the ayurvedic techniques and have evidenced that copper plays an important role in cardiovascular health, neuron signaling, immune system, collagen production, among others.
Morley Robbins is the creator of the Root Cause Protocol and has spent decades researching the delicate interplay of copper, magnesium, iron, and calcium within the body. He has dedicated his life to the study of the root cause of disease. He has discovered the devastating effects of inflammation and oxidative stress and how the imbalance of certain minerals creates cellular dysfunction and fatigue. He is dispelling the modern medical myths of disease and sharing his knowledge of how the reversal of mineral imbalances can lead to ultimate health and endless energy
More than 30 types of copper-containing proteins are known today. Some prominent examples are Ceruloplasmin plays a critical role in iron metabolism, lysyl oxidase, which is involved in the cross linking of collagen, tyrosinase, required for melanin synthesis, dopamine β-hydroxylase, which functions in the catecholamine pathway, cytochrome c oxidase, the terminal electron acceptor of the respiratory chain, and superoxide dismutase, required for defense against oxidative damage. The immune system requires copper for a variety of tasks.
Deficiency of copper results in a weakened immune response in humans. Copper serves as an essential factor for the proper functioning of B cells, T helper cells, natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. Copper is a potent antimicrobial. Copper destroys microbes by degrading their genomic and plasmid DNA, primarily through its charged Cu2+ ions. Copper is responsible for many profound functions in the body and is principally focused on creating energy via cytochrome-C oxidase and clearing exhaust within a network of antioxidant enzymes. But, in order for copper to be able to perform its functions, it must be bioavailable; it needs to be “complexed” in a network of proteins and enzymes.
Ninety-five percent of copper in the blood is “complexed” in ceruloplasmin. However, for copper to be loaded in ceruloplasmin, we need the critical involvement of retinol (real vitamin A), which is an essential nutrient for this process. For most people today, copper is, in fact, missing in action because we don’t have enough of it, and iron, rather than being deficient, is stuck (dysfunctional) in our tissues. It is this lack of copper that causes iron to become stuck and accumulate where it does not belong, especially in cells called “recycling macrophages” that are key to proper iron recycling and healthy copper/iron metabolism. When the body produces heme, at the end of that process, there are eight enzymes that are involved. Four of them are active outside of the mitochondria, and four of them perform their tasks inside the mitochondrial copper matrix. The four inside the mitochondria all require copper, and the last one is the most important.
CERULOPLASMIN
The average practitioner has never heard that word before. Since its discovery, ceruloplasmin has been revealed to be the master “multi-copper protein.” It has an “active” and an “inactive” state, or is measured via its “enzyme activity,” or its levels of “immunoreactive protein.”
In its active state, ceruloplasmin contains up to eight copper atoms, several of which surround a molecule of oxygen (O2). But only the inactive state is measured by commercial labs, using the serum ceruloplasmin blood test. Outside of research studies, there are no commercial labs that measure the active state.
Ceruloplasmin protein is one of the biggest proteins in the body. This is not hepcidin. We’re not talking about insulin; we’re talking about 1,160 amino acids. It’s not the biggest protein, it’s one of the biggest proteins and it’s a tank because it’s got eight coppers inside it. All 8 coppers are needed for ceruloplasmin.
The real problem with ceruloplasmin is that it has 20 copper binding sets. This means that it can express 20 different functions.
When you’re talking about a protein that can express many different enzyme functions, that regulates iron and oxygen, that prevents oxidative stress, which is the very harbinger of all chronic disease, when you’ve got a metal that runs the shell, that’s the general, what are you going to do? You’re going to flip it. You’re going to tell people, “You’re anemic, and you’re copper toxic. Be careful of retinol because it’s going to cause vitamin A toxicity.” If people believe that copper is toxic, and vitamin A is toxic, then they have a long way to go in their research to understand what’s really going on. There’s way more to the story than what appears in mainstream circles.
Symptoms of Copper Deficiency
A deficiency of copper can have the following symptoms in human beings:
Anemia
Low body temperature
Brittle bones
Osteoporosis
Dilated veins
Low white blood cell count
Uneven heartbeat
Elevated cholesterol levels
Low resistance to infections
Birth defects
Low skin pigmentation
Thyroid disorders
Other symptoms include lethargy, paleness, sores, edema, stunted growth, hair loss, anorexia, diarrhea, bleeding under the skin, and dermatitis. In infant boys, inherited copper deficiency of the rare Menkes’ syndrome can happen, where natural absorption of copper becomes impossible. Early intervention is essential in such cases.
MAKE YOUR OWN COPPER SULFATE SUPPLEMENT
Buy pure copper sulfate pentahydrate blue salt crystals (amazon.com) or anywhere that copper sulfate is sold. At 99.9% purity, with 25% contained copper. That's as pure as things get. It is both pharma- and food-grade. It is sold in 1,5, and 10 pound bags A 1lb bag costs $5 and should last you 10 - 20 years even if you take a lot of it!
To make a solution, of 1 mg of contained copper per liquid drop:
Measure out 5 x 1/8 teaspoons of copper sulfate crystals into a 2 oz. bottle. The actual measurement is 4.7 grams of copper sulfate pentahydrate. This is about 4 times the 1.18 grams of contained copper, or 1182 mg that you are aiming to put in the 2 oz. bottle. Copper sulfate pentahydrate is 25% actually copper. Remember, 1 drop = 1 mg...
