Another really important piece of a information. Low Ferritin and anemia that won't resolve with Iron supplementation is almost always a copper deficiency. And the worst part of a copper deficiency is it causes Neutropenia, a deficiency of Neutrophils, which is why Candida overgrows because the immune system is weak. Copper in my opinion, is the most important mineral you can take if you have anemia and a chronically weak immune system, and Candida like symptoms. Magnesium is important too. I suspect certain chronic infections deplete copper levels, because your body uses up all it's copper trying to fight off the infection.

Greetings from Sweden! Once and for all, let's straighten a few things out regarding copper: The majority of people are not "very high in copper". In fact, it's the opposite. What the media fail to mention, is a report by the US Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences which stated that only 25% of the US population gets enough copper daily (which is mentioned in this video). With this conflicting information, how can we know what to do? According to recent researches as many as 75% of the population just in the U.S have a severe or mild copper deficiency. Yet we should all fear this very important trace mineral? Why? Because of "toxicity"? When we are deficient? Copper deficiency is a huge problem in the world today, since the soil lacks the copper we need. Too little copper in the body can cause aneurysm (eating too much zinc without copper is a really bad idea). Copper deficiency symptoms: Fatigue, decreased function in the thyroid gland, headache, dizziness, migraine, cold hands and feet, tourettes syndrome, tics, nervousness, insomnia, unable to relax, tremors, shakiness and shaky feeling, spasm, cramp, depression, dry skin, gray hair (suddenly), cravings for chocolate and/or nuts, constipation, candidiasis, low blood pressure, low blood sugar, low HDL (good) cholesterol, high LDL (bad) cholesterol, anxiety, panic attacks, bad memory, PMS, mono... You do not always have ALL these symptoms but 3-4 or more. People are still way too afraid of copper due to utter ignorance of many doctors out there. They are simply not up to date with the latest knowledge of copper. Copper toxicity? Is it real? Copper can be a confusing little trace mineral. You can be copper deficient and have too much copper at the same time. Sounds strange, right? To talk about "copper toxicity" is nonsense. The word "toxicity" in this case is very misleading. However, it is crucial that the copper should be in an "available" form and not in a biounavailable form. Let me explain all this as clearly as I can: The really sad part is that almost nobody (not even most medical doctors) has the slightest idea how to fix this a copper dysregulation problem... Most people have a copper deficiency, which means copper is biounavailable because it does not have a protein carrier, most notably due to weak adrenals and poor liver function and missing the raw materials to make these protein carriers. Here is why: Although there are numerous reasons for the prevalence of copper "toxicity", the most important cause is adrenal gland insufficiency. Individuals with adrenal insufficiency are unable to utilize copper properly. The reason for this is that copper can only be utilized in the body if it is attached to a protein substance for transport and storage. The major protein that copper is attached to is ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin is a protein which binds copper so that it can be utilized in biochemical reactions. When the adrenal glands are underactive, they are unable to send out a message to the liver to release ceruloplasmin from the liver and, therefore, copper becomes biounavailable. As a result of excessive tissue storage of biounavailable or unbound copper, a deficiency of available copper occurs, even when dietary intake of copper is more than adequate. The result may be a craving for foods high in copper, such as chocolate, avocados etc. The outer result is multiple bodily dysfunctions as a direct or indirect result of copper imbalance. Copper: As a rule of thumb, when the sodium/potassium ration is less than 2:1, copper becomes biounavailable This occurs because adequate adrenal activity is needed for the production of ceruloplasmin, a copper binding protein. Now, *HERE IS THE REALLY INTERESTING PART:* In these cases, it is wise to supplement with a small amount of copper (0.5 mg to 1 mg per day) for a while (weeks or a few months) even if the tissue copper level is high. But why??? Because this helps restore glandular activity, which requires bioavailable copper. It is like priming an old-fashioned water pump. You had to put in a little water in order for it to start pumping out water. In other words: even if you are really deficient in copper or if your body has too much biounavailable or unbound copper *in both cases you need to supplement with copper.* When biounavailable or unbound, start really SLOW. This is the secret how you heal many, many diseases. Copper is an extremely crucial mineral. Unfortunately copper has been bashed and degraded for decades, just because no one really understood how important this trace mineral is and how it works. The fear of copper is very, very unfortunate since so many illnesses and severe diseases can be healed with it when supplemented as it should be supplemented. It took me over 20 years to find this secret. A restored copper imbalance would likely heal tens of millions of sick people out there. The medical field is not interested enough though (yet). No money in it...? Big pharma is powerful... Please do not be afraid of copper! Just take it in the right amount and in the right way, with a lot of patience. Start with a low dose (see above). It may take months, you can't rush these things, but It *will* help you! Don't forget to add a little zinc after a few months so that you do not get an imbalance between copper and zinc (1 mg copper, 10 mg zinc. 2 mg copper, 20 mg zinc...) And please do never ever forget that if you are deficient in copper and take several grams of Vitamin C per day, it is *even more important* to supplement with copper since Vitamin C is an antagonist to copper. Do not stop taking Vitamin C, just supplement with enough copper as well. A few hours between copper and Vitamin C is never wrong. Take care!

I have been working extensively with copper as an artist and custom product creator for near 25 years. Sanding, welding, soldering, brazing, cleaning, coloring and every other thing one can do with copper, I do on a regular basis. My health care provider became suspicious of possible toxicity. She ordered a blood test which came back negative. In other words, apparently, for me at least, having massive exposure to copper in your life is not a definitive way to gain copper toxicity or other heavy metal conditions. Just thought I would mention this in case it helps someone make a decision. I am not a doctor, a scientist, nor any other specialist other than I love working with copper. Take this and any statements from anybody with a grain of salt and contrite doing your research. This talk is very interesting, but like any, it should be balanced agains the opinions of others.

It was just there for weeks now, until a get attacks of stiffness again on my toes but just the left foot. The right toes were not stiff. So what i did, i transferred the bracelet to my left foot believing that the copper helped the stiffness on my right foot. It worked on my left foot. Now, im again having stiffness in my right foot.

I truly believe that every body is different. Copper was complete and utter poison to me when I found myself completely crippled and altered with copper toxicity from a paragard copper iud. Before insertion I had no prior mental issues and I suddenly found myself turned into a paranoid schizophrenic with anxiety to the point where I couldn't care for myself. One year after removing the iud and a low copper diet, and medically prescribed protocol of supplementation and chelation, I am at peace and the mental anguish is gone. To say Copper is secret for everyone is very misleading, the element destroyed my life.

I've read that about the copper IUD as well but that's a completely different situation. IUD would be releasing large amounts of copper and in the metallic form as well, which is quite different from copper in food. Excess copper in food goes through the digestive system and is eliminated via stool, so copper from the IUD doesn't go through the digestion at all and just gets deposited all over the body. I'm glad you undid the damage though and I completely agree with you that copper IUDs are horrible. Thank you for sharing your experience. xx

Have also heard women ending up with copper toxicity from certain birth control pills, there is an author that describes her journey regarding that and estrogen. Regardless, yes, the copper iud is not a biocompatible material and wouldn't be used in surgery and is just horrible, I can definitely agree with you on that it is horrible. I still think the best thing to do is to speak to a Dr (versed in minerals and imbalances or functional medicine ect) who can test and treat your unique situation (beyond simple blood tests), and that everyone is truly going to be different and have different biochemical needs at the end of the day. Supplementing copper would not be a good idea for everyone and could possibly be detrimental to someone (without wilson's disease). I added in to my original comment that at the time I was medically advised on what to take to chelate/ balance the excess copper from a Dr who was extremely well versed in the topic. Best.

Hi! Thank you for all your videos they are so helpful. I am 23 and have started getting quite a lot of grey hairs, patchy skin and anxiety/depression. I also have spotting before my period and low progesterone, my luteal phase is when my depression seems to be the worst and coming up to ovulation is when my acne is the worst. I did have very heavy periods with clots until I started taking vitex about 2 months ago. My spotting has reduced but is still there. I have been taking vitex, estroblock, magnesium, zinc, algae oil and a multivitamin (that doesn't contain copper) and have started to increase my healthy fats significantly. I eat a vegan diet for ethical reasons and I managed to get rid of my ectropion, bleeding during sex and severe period cramps from adopting a vegan diet but it did not have an impact on the symptoms above. I started experiencing most of this after coming off the pill and went vegan a year afterwards - I know you do not believe in plant based diets but it is something I am very passionate about. I am thinking to stop taking the zinc? I eat a lot of lentils and beans and so without trying my copper is around 2.7mg daily, my zinc 11.8mg (without supplements).

Recommended zinc to copper ratio varies anywhere between 5:1 and 15:1, so perhaps your ratio is already good, and the amount, too.

This happened to me as well! I intuitively started eating some beef liver, which revived me from serious chronic illness. I felt great, but doctor ran my copper and it came back 400x the average. So I cut copper for the last 2 years out of extreme fear of "toxicity" and started taking large doses of zinc... some improvements from correcting a zinc deficiency from years as a vegan, however, I kept getting more and more tired. Bloodwork appeared "normal", however I noticed my iron level had dropped in half and ferritin was getting drastically low... and that ceruloplasmin was low and indicating biounavailable copper. I started feeling worse and worse and finally, on a whim, started the beef liver again. Feeling so much better. Extreme joint pain, fatigue, and electrolyte balance is finally going away. Gonna try a gentle copper supplement for the next few weeks and see if that helps too. So grateful for the Root Cause Protocol and the accessibility of this information.

I had to watch this again. I tested myself for candida and I appear to have it. I have been feeling so drained and foggy brain and bloating and upset stomach, some depression and many other candida symptoms. This seems like the most dreaded disease of all. It can really have such a negative impact on a persons life. Do you know if the copper I would get from chloroxygen, would be adequate? I recently bought it and started taking it. Have been using it about 3 days now. I was so happy to learn this about copper. I would also like to find a copper vessel to keep the drinking water in. I don't know if prill water is good, but I use prill beads in distilled water. Thank you so much for your videos, you are very knowledgeable and honest. I appreciate that very much.

I believe it may be better to take zinc in the evening, and the copper in the morning. My understanding is that zinc can lower cortisol, so it probably helps with better sleep, where cortisol is best high in the AM.
@Vitalivesfree5 жыл бұрын
It depends on the person's needs. My cortisol was too high in the morning, so zinc worked well in the morning. Some people also say that copper in the evening energises them too much and interferes with sleep. It never did that to me and I often took it after dinner. We're all different.
@birage98855 жыл бұрын
@@Vitalivesfree Basically I was generalizing. Exactly what I, and you said, that copper tends to energize, hence AM usage, zinc lowers cortisol, proper cortisol cycling should have lower cortisol in the evenings for good sleep. Yes, bio-individuality is a factor, however, studies show these are the best times for copper and zinc supplementation.

Hey Vita, i am having some maybe copper related problems lately and remembered that you made a video about it some time ago so i rewatched. I got a new copper Spiral last summer and over the following month got a ton of white spots on my nails. Usually i take my Pure Encapsulation HairSkinNails to help with white spots, but it didn't help this time. So 2 Month ago i started taking zinc and i am not getting new white spots. But now i am experiencing some hair loss. My Hairvitamins do have both zinc and copper, so i thought about ditching them. Any ideas from your side what could be the problem? Maybe i am totally missing something? Best Wishes :)

I've read of copper coils causing copper toxicity. They seem to be really bad news for the health. The thing is that excess copper from food or supplements can be excreted through the bowels, but when it comes to leaching copper from the coil, that can only be deposited in the body, or so it seems at least. Plus, it's in the form that probably can't even be absorbed. I personally would order myself a hair mineral analysis to find out what is really going on with the zinc and copper levels. But I would also get rid of the copper coil.

Have you heard of Pyrroles disorder or pyroluria as some people call it? It seems to have a lot of the symptoms you are mentioning but generally is aligned with Copper Overload, not a copper deficiency. This is due to HPL's in the bloodstream binding to Zinc and B6 (and other things like biotin and omega 6) and excreting them in the urine. The zinc deficiency then causes an overload of copper both unbound and stored in the liver, other organs and tissues. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on that.
@Vitalivesfree5 жыл бұрын
I have heard of it, and there were times when I believed I had it as well, that's why I was taking zinc alone for a while. Some say that pyroluria is nothing else but copper deficiency or not absorbing it properly. Morley Robbins is one of those.

IME both zinc and copper have been presented as potentially becoming toxic but the small print always indicates that one has been taken in isolation and that when taken like this the other is depleted.

I’ve been binge watching your videos because we have so many similar problems and I’m learning a lot! Were you told you were copper toxic from whoever reviewed your levels? Because I’m my hair mineral analysis, I had extremely low copper with a decent zinc level, zinc was a little low but not terrible. But the Naturopathic Dr told me I was copper toxic. I have currently been taking zinc for 3 months without supplementing with any copper…. I also noticed a few grey hairs and my hair is coming in blondish … and I’m naturally dark brunette. Having severe acne issues also. So this video is really eye opening to me I feel like I may be in the same situation as what you were. I’m 23 years old. What are your thoughts?
@Vitalivesfree2 жыл бұрын
In my hair mineral analysis, copper was very low and zinc was right in the middle of the optimal range. The zinc/copper ratio was very high. That doesn't show a copper toxicity at all, copper disregulation perhaps, but not toxicity. At least that's what I understood in my searches. Zinc alone, especially in doses over 20mg a day, can bring copper levels down, and that's not good at all. Copper is actually a very important mineral for our health.

The skin does not absorb too much copper into the blood stream - it hangs out in the dermal layer. Many people are afraid of the serums topically. A small percent of the population- with Wilson's disease- a congenital mutation - causes copper to build up in the liver. In our diet, even if you were eating pounds of spinach and foods rich in copper, you would not get toxic. Also in professional wound care healing, there are copper (and silver -for anti-microbial purposes) dressings which cause new collagen to build and wounds to heal quicker, and not re-open. Many supplements lack copper. Our soil has low copper, and now our food supply-especially since our food supply is fast and junk food. Thank you for offering science based information. On the subject of vitamin C, citrus- which also contains collagen precursors , is an excellent thing for a person to consume. Before we correlated citrus and collagen, sailors going to sea for months got scurvy. British sailors began getting limes and citrus fruit to eat daily. Guess what, healthy gums, their teeth were not falling out, and it also kills some free radicals. Copper is good stuff. Eat healthy. Supplement wisely, and do not fear using serums with copper peptides.

It might be, but you will really need to dig in deeper and investigate it for yourself. Having biounavailable copper on the mineral analysis doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't low in copper. You need to look at the actual copper level, the zinc level and the ratio between the zinc and copper. So many supplements that people take interfere with copper making it biounavailable, such as zinc, vitamin D, synthetic vitamin C, citrates, excessive iron, etc. The Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook has a lot of great information about it (although not everything they say there makes sense, you need to keep a critical mind). WIshing you lots of healing!
