The Copper Revolution Protocol Start Guide September 2026
4873 words. Reading time 18 minutes.
This is not medical advice, because this is a protocol of minerals and vitamins, not prescription drugs.
This protocol is based on the Book: “The Copper Revolution: Healing with Minerals”
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q6D3R7B
It is also based on the feedback from the Facebook group, founded in 2022, with 85,000 members. I am active in the group daily and I read almost everything, and we have learned so much.
This is the page we send people who ask, Where do I get copper, How much do I take, How do I start, What’s the protocol, etc.
My wife Jennifer and I have been on about 30 mg copper a day for 8.5 years.
My first copper essay was June 24, 2018:
High Copper — the Missing Nutrient on the High Iodine Program.
https://revealingfraud.com/2020/11/health/high-copper-the-missing-nutrient-on-the-high-iodine-program/
We take about 20 Vitamins and Minerals. This is a list of the amounts of everything and the brands, and where to get them at amazon:
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/06/health/minerals-and-vitamins-im-actually-taking/
Do not start taking what we take. Slowly scale up over about 2 months or more to avoid vomiting and other problems.
We specifically avoid 30 other supplements, most of which block copper:

I know that this may seem crazy. It’s unusual. It’s a REVOLUTION. It’s against mainstream and even alternative health advice. But it’s backed by science. Do the reading and keep an open mind, and check our many sources.

The Myth of Widespread Copper Toxicity: 14 False Assumptions About High Ionic Copper in the Blood (by Jason Hommel and Grok)
https://revealingfraud.com/2026/07/health/the-myth-of-widespread-copper-toxicity-14-false-assumptions-about-high-ionic-copper-in-the-blood-by-jason-hommel-and-grok/
Ramp up slowly. Listen to your body, but listen to the science, too. Back down if you have to. Then go forward again.
Everything here is voluntary. But read before you take any copper to avoid nausea, avoid problems before they begin, and to learn what copper does in the body, and what to expect.
The idea in one page:
This is a throughput protocol, not a “fill the copper tank” protocol.
Copper is used by enzymes that make ATP (cytochrome c oxidase) for vastly more energy and brainpower, and it builds collagen, and escorts toxins out (metallothioneins, SOD, ceruloplasmin, DAO, and others).
Metallothioneins detox mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic.
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/04/health/how-to-detox-mercury-with-copper-zinc-selenium/
SOD detoxes hundreds of petrochemical and pharmaceutical toxins.
The question is not “how many milligrams of copper are stored in (the human body).” The question is how much copper is running through the body, because 20-30 mg of intake increases the excretion rate of both copper, toxins, and improves functionality of many copper containing enzymes in the body that also act as antihistamines, and do so much more like kill germs, mold, parasites, and speed healing.
So we raise copper intake, with zinc and ascorbic acid first, then magnesium and the good B vitamins, then potassium, then boron, and other nutrients, then iodine last. We drop the common copper antagonists. We drink distilled water. We cut added sodium chloride. Give me a chance to explain why.
When ATP rises, the sodium-potassium pump gets a big increase in energy. That pump pushes sodium out of the cell. Water follows. That is why people initially get temporary difficulty like dehydration, edema, loose stools, racing heart, salt cravings, and “I feel worse unless I salt” after the good minerals start working. That is often sodium leaving the cell faster than it leaves the body. It is not proof that copper is a poison.
Your body will begin to detox sodium whether you agree or not. The sodium-potassium pump works better on copper, B vitamins and magnesium–that’s undisputed science.
When the body starts kicking out salt, here’s how to go with the flow and improve things:
Take less added sodium, more potassium, more water, more leafy greens. Enjoy the new energy! Do not keep adding the evicted sodium back in. That’s counterproductive.
The fact that high sodium is incompatible with copper does not mean copper is toxic. It means that high and excessive sodium is the more toxic mineral.
We do not advocate a zero sodium diet, which is impossible. A “no added sodium” diet still provides from 500 mg to 3000 mg of sodium, which is far more than enough.
Sodium is addictive. I know people rely on it to do things in the body. Copper and the other minerals are also “salts” and work far better. Keep reading.
Safety is not the same thing as optimal function.
Copper is safe, but we aim for optimal function.
Leslie Klevay, one of the most serious copper-deficiency researchers alive, wrote in 2022 that many people might benefit from about 8 mg of copper a day. He did not hand them our 20-item stack first. He said no protocol of other nutrients was necessary, and we agree.
This protocol of copper and other nutrients is for better, optimal health. That is important for the people who panic, falsely thinking that 2 mg of copper is a poison. It is also important for people who accuse us of taking other nutrients to prevent copper toxicity. We are not doing that.
Klevay, 2022: The contemporaneous epidemic of chronic copper deficiency
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9554529/
Olivares and colleagues then did the studies on high copper intakes that most people don’t know about.
Olivares showed that about 2 months of copper in drinking water, at 6 mg copper per liter, did not cause any harm to the liver, which was previously predicted. Some drank over 3 liters, getting over 18 mg of copper per day! In 800 healthy people, with no co nutrients, and no slow adaptation period!
Our write-up: Chapter 10: Copper at 10–20 mg does not harm the liver (Olivares)

Supplementing Copper at the Upper Level of the Adult Dietary Recommended Intake Induces Detectable but Transient Changes in Healthy Adults (Olivares, 2005)
https://jn.nutrition.org/article/S0022-3166(22)10429-3/fulltext
If you drink enough of that 6 mg of copper per liter of water, daily copper intake lands in the high-teens or over 20 mg. That is how healthy people in those studies took copper without any cofactor stack. They took it very diluted in water.
So. You should put copper in a meal, in milk, in coffee, or in a LOT of water.
Rademacher in the 1850s used up to 260 mg of copper, and it did not poison anyone.
Copper is literally declared to be safe in US law, codified as GRAS or “generally recognized as safe”.
The National Academies of Science, who set the RDA and Upper Limit, literally asks people to do further research to determine at what level is copper toxic, as follows:

Page 252:
Quote:
“Define the adverse effects of chronic high copper consumption for establishing upper intake levels and to evaluate the health risks of copper supplements.”
In other words, they didn’t establish a toxic level when they set the upper limit at 10 mg. That was a “no toxicity found” level.
We are not aiming to answer that question of establishing a toxic level. We are aiming to find the level of the optimal copper dose, and we have settled on 30 mg for adults between 150-250 pounds.
We are moderate and our intake is very low compared to Rademacher’s 260 mg of copper usage.
Cofactors are the other nutrients the body needs for optimal function: collagen (zinc + C), ATP (magnesium + B vitamins), the pump (potassium and water), halogen detox (iodine), and so on.
Sick, salty, fogged, or easily nauseated people should start with lower doses, at 5–6 mg split during the day, with food. Healthy people, such as in the Olivares study, or via Rademacher, can dare to start up to 20 mg as long as it is diluted, taken in smaller doses during the day, and taken with food. They should still expect possible loose stool or a change when ATP fuels the sodium pump. That is sodium detox or other things detoxing.
How to start (two doors)
Door A — most people, anyone toxic, anyone who fears copper, anyone sick, anyone older as toxins accumulate with age, start slow, as follows:
5–6 mg copper split with meals, 2 mg in the morning, 2 mg at lunch, 1-2 mg evening. 10-25 mg zinc. 1000 mg ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Two weeks to adjust to avoid nausea.
Then, after two weeks, 10 mg copper for a month, 25 mg zinc, and 2000 mg ascorbic acid.
Door B — For Healthy People: not living on salted restaurant food, not sick, not coming off a crash, perhaps people who have fasted recently, anyone very athletic with no health problems, no allergies, not taking any drugs or alcohol, anyone young and healthy:
You may start closer to 15–20 mg copper, but split doses as 5 mg three times a day, in food or a lot of water, the way the water studies actually dosed people. You still want vitamin C and zinc, because you want the synergy.
Vitamin C: taken as ascorbic acid. Not liposomal. Not “whole food C.” Ascorbic acid relieves headaches, the other forms often do not, and only work for some people.
We are not saying you can’t take whole food. Take it if you want. We are just warning of a potential pitfall and the known solution: ascorbic acid works to prevent headaches.
Why these three (copper, zinc, vitamin C) first: they work together for collagen, they help create natural anti- histamine enzymes such as DAO (diamine oxidase), and other copper and zinc enzymes. All three are known to speed “wound healing” and to stop bleeding. Taking one alone can deplete the others and cause problems.
Copper and Zinc for Anti-histamines, Allergies, MCAS, Etc.
https://revealingfraud.com/2026/09/health/copper-and-zinc-for-anti-histamines-allergies-mcas-etc/
To avoid nausea, which hits about 50% of people at 3-4 mg: Take copper in the middle of a meal, with milk, juice, or food. Not on an empty stomach. Not as a pile of minerals at once. Not drops on the tongue. Put the drops in a large drink, or on meat.
In our opinion, copper does not cause nausea. Copper induces nausea because once you take copper, toxins such as fluoride and vitamin A flood into the stomach. People who begin to eliminate fluoride and vitamin A intake find it eliminates nausea. So, we reason that those two and other toxins cause the nausea. As you adjust to copper, and as you detox, you will no longer experience any nausea.
The goal is not to push through nausea. The goal is to avoid nausea.
Stay at 5–6 mg copper for about 2 weeks unless nausea forces a split or a pause. That is the dose and time period that helps make nausea go away. If you don’t have nausea, you can increase copper faster.
Do not start iodine yet. Do not start boron yet. Do not add a kitchen-sink stack.
Initial avoid list, so the start is not sabotaged:
STOP Added sodium salts: table, sea, Himalayan, Celtic
STOP Hydrogenated / seed-oil junk and margarine / boxed cookies and crackers.
STOP Tap water and fluoridated toothpaste, mouthwash, Teflon pans, dried fruit, and wine.
STOP Iron pills and iron-heavy multis
Iron, Copper and Anemia
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/08/health/copper-iron-and-anemia/
STOP Extra vitamin A / retinol / high-A “beauty” creams / multi vitamin pills / tomatoes and sweet potatoes and cod liver oil.
Vitamin A: NOT NEEDED for Ceruloplasmin
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/11/health/vitamin-a-not-needed-for-ceruloplasmin/
Re-evaluate prescription drugs, recreational drugs, over the counter drugs, or start tapering, or try to intend to start tapering under the guidance of your doctor or a rehab facility.
If copper is not working, review the copper antagonists:
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/03/health/chapter-24-45-copper-antagonists-some-are-also-synergists/
Zinc is a copper antagonist, so don’t take too much. But it’s needed. Take enough to prevent zinc deficiency symptoms. Here is the list:
Zinc / Copper Ratios
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/03/health/zinc-copper-ratios/
Copper form: glycinate to start, copper sulfate for the long haul
Either form is good copper that works. We used glycinate for our first 3 years on high copper because that is what we had. Sulfate is what we use now because it is cheap, liquid, and allows topical application.
Do not use colloidal copper. It usually contains only 4 mg per bottle, not enough.
You can use copper cups and jewelry, but they don’t provide enough copper either, only about 0.4 mg/day.
Copper glycinate:
Ready-made. Ships fast. Easy for week one. Expensive per milligram. Not useful on the skin.
Copper sulfate pentahydrate:
A 2 oz bottle mixed as below holds about 1180 mg contained copper and costs pennies. You mix it. You can use it orally and on the skin. Buy 99%+ crystals when you can.
Regarding the sulfur in copper sulfate. The sulfate forms of minerals are safer than the chloride forms.
The body is full of sulfur: 1/3 pound! Sulfur is not a rare allergen sitting in the copper bottle. Copper sulfate is mostly copper plus a small amount of sulfate.
Nausea, rash, or “I reacted” on week one is far more often simple vitamin A detoxing, empty stomach, low water, high salt, mobilized toxins, or histamine — not a special sulfate allergy.
If blue copper sulfate crystals seem strange for any reason, then take normal copper glycinate pills. Then switch to sulfate when you want cheap liquid and topical use. The point is to make it easy on yourself.
The protocol is copper intake, not a brand.
We do not sell any supplements. That is on purpose.

Copper Sulfate is sold in hardware stores, animal supply stores, fertilizer plant stores, pool stores, plumbing stores, and Walmart. It is a major agricultural commodity.
If you can only find low grade copper sulfate, under 99% purity, then you can purify it by recrystallizing. Instructions here:

How to mix 1 mg copper per drop
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tueHiUiAFkQ
In words:
Put 5 of the 1/8 teaspoons of copper sulfate crystals (about 4.7 grams) in a 2 oz dropper bottle.
Fill with hot distilled water.
Wrap the bottle, shake until dissolved.
One drop ≈ 1 mg copper.
A full dropper (20 drops) ≈ 20 mg. The bottle holds about 1180 mg copper.
Heat helps it dissolve. Distilled looks cleaner.
Pro Tip: Make 8 bottles at once. In 2 cups (16 oz.) of hot water, add 5 teaspoons of crystals. Stir. Then pour that into each of 8 dropper bottles with a funnel.
If someone swallows an entire bottle, 3-4 people have reported violent vomiting and diarrhea for a few hours and then recovery. Over 1000 mg copper is still an uncomfortable event, not recommended, and not a dose. Antidotes we have suggested to them, in that panic: 100 mg zinc and 3000 mg vitamin C, and water. After the vomiting stops, these seem to calm down the system. Keep bottles away from kids. To some people, copper sulfate tastes sweet, like a blue Gatorade, so be careful, do not make large batches in big bottles, that’s an obviously bad idea.
There is a case report of a chronic poisoning in a man who took 2000 mg of copper per day for 4 months until his red blood cells started dying too quickly. He did not get liver damage, and he recovered. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
But that report, and others, utterly destroys and exposes the false idea that copper is toxic just barely above 0.5 to 2 mg.
Acute poisoning starts at 10,000 to 20,000 mg and yet, the hospital interventions of chelation and stomach pumping may be more toxic and more dangerous than the copper. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
Copper sulfate stains fabric blue. Vinegar in the laundry helps clean the stains. Toxins in the body plus the copper can remove clothing dyes, and that can’t be fixed.
Topical copper application can sting the nipples and armpits at first. Do not apply there topically until after adjusting. Do not apply copper on freshly shaved skin, unless you like extremely intense stimulation, yikes! Copper, like topical magnesium, may tingle the skin, or feel like a slight burning until you get used to it.
Nevertheless, you can put copper on open wounds to stop bleeding. It just stings for about 30 minutes.
Nausea is a dosing problem, not evidence of toxicity. The key is to prevent nausea. If you get nausea, take less, and let time do the work. Do not take more yet, but try to keep on schedule, and/or eliminate toxin intake.
Worse results usually come from taking under 5 mg (stirring up toxins without finishing) or jumping past 10 mg in month one, plus salt, dehydration, and no cofactors.
To prevent nausea:
Split copper into 2 mg doses, three times a day, this is below the typical nausea level.
Take it mid-meal with milk or juice.
Add molybdenum if nausea persists (later; 500–1000 mcg is our range).
Cut vitamin A and fluoride load.
Do not swallow the whole mineral stack at once.
Cut sodium chloride.
Use potassium chloride.
Use topical copper as a bypass, not as a replacement for oral copper.
Oral copper actually helps and heals the gut. Copper cures ulcers, kills germs, and stops bleeding and is needed for making collagen and wound healing.
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/11/health/ways-copper-heals-the-gut/
Nausea does not mean copper is hurting your gut.
Drink more water before the dose.
If nausea is strong, and if you think vomit is coming, drink water immediately. You often get 30–60 seconds of warning. This will at least help dilute your stomach acid and the toxins, and may prevent vomiting.
Copper is hydrating over time, because it builds collagen. It’s dehydrating in the short term as the cells kick out sodium, and water follows the sodium. Adaptation is normal. Stop diuretics if you can do so safely. Diuretics fight this protocol.
Sodium detoxing:
Copper, magnesium, and the good B vitamins raise ATP. The Na/K (sodium = Na, potassium = K) pump spends a large share of cellular ATP — in nerves, an enormous share — pushing 3 sodium ions out and pulling 2 potassium ions in. Fund the pump, and sodium leaves the cell.
This then increases extracellular sodium, or sodium outside the cells. This is a temporary situation, until your body can flush it out in the pee, with more water. This temporary state of increased sodium outside the cells, and yet still in the body during the initial stages of sodium detox, feels like “excess sodium” and leads to excess sodium symptoms such as:
edema / puffiness
watery stools
racing heart, palpitations
muscle twitches
cramps (often worse if potassium was low)
feelings like: “salt relaxes me”
“I crave salt”
feeling worse after restaurant food
Sodium detoxing is the worst during the first 2 weeks, and gets better over time, and can take 2-3 months to get through, and then you feel far better.
That sequence is why we say: your body will begin to detox sodium whether you agree or not.
Salt-fix books and “just sodium” studies are looking at variable salt intake or excretion rates in a copper-poor, magnesium-poor, B-vitamin-poor body.
We are asking a different question: what happens to salt when you restore the ATP factory and add plenty of other good salts like potassium, and other key minerals? Those are not the same experiment.
Practical rules:
Stop adding sodium chloride. All the pretty salts are still sodium chloride. So stop the Celtic, Himalayan, tasty mushroom salts, sole water, electrolyte mixes, sports drinks, soy sauce, other sauces like ketchup.
You will still get plenty of sodium from food. That is enough.
Drink distilled water so the evicted sodium has an exit.
Raise potassium chloride slowly. We use Nu-Salt / potassium chloride in coffee and drinks. Food potassium counts.
Loose stools cause potassium losses, which can happen at first. Take more potassium and magnesium, not table salt.
If the heart races on the up-ramp: drink more water, less salt, more potassium, smaller copper/iodine steps. Or ramp up more slowly.
The average person needs 100 grams more potassium. That takes months to fix when adding 3000 mg of potassium a day, which is 3 grams of potassium a day. Taking over 10,000 milligrams of potassium per day can be dangerous, that’s the upper limit, stay well below that. The FDA recommends 4700 mg of potassium, including in food, per day.
More on salt:
Increased ATP causes increased sodium detoxing symptoms

Racing heart / palpitations
https://revealingfraud.com/2024/03/health/how-to-fix-racing-heart-problems-arrhythmia-heart-palpitations-irregular-heart-beats/
Don’t panic if taking copper causes the heart to flutter. Copper is EXCELLENT for the heart. Don’t blame copper for what excess sodium is doing.

Sodium and potassium index
https://revealingfraud.com/?s=SODIUM+POTASSIUM
Boron: sodium tetraborate is how we take boron. It contains sodium. We still use it for the boron. That is the exception for sodium. It’s even more reason to cut back sodium, to make room for sodium tetraborate.
Stages after week two:
Adjust to your body. Based on studies that say it takes 1 month at 10 mg to ramp up production of the copper enzymes that lead to the body excreting around 10 of copper daily, then you should stay at 10 mg of copper for a month.
Stage 1 — Weeks 1–2
5–6 mg copper, 10-25 mg zinc, 1000 mg ascorbic acid.
Stage 2 — About one month at 10 mg
10 mg copper, about 20-25 mg zinc, 2000 mg vitamin C.
This is the month many people need for the detox enzymes to come online. Do not skip it just because you feel brave. Young men often go too high too fast.
If you go too high too fast, you can overwhelm the kidneys with toxins. Copper is great for the kidneys, see our book:
Chapter 57: Nephritis, Nephrotic syndrome, and Nephrosis (Kidneys and Copper)
https://revealingfraud.com/2023/08/health/chapter-57-nephritis-nephrotic-syndrome-and-nephrosis-kidneys-and-copper/
Low 3-4 mg copper doses have healed weak kidneys.
Kidney pain happens to people in the boron and iodine groups also. If you have lower back pain this might be kidney pain. Slow down, or stop the minerals, and do a kidney cleanse with leafy greens, or with baking soda, or even better, potassium bicarbonate and plenty of water. It should relieve pain in hours. These are explained more in the trouble shooting guides.
Kidney pain happened to nobody out of 800 in the Olivares study with healthy subjects. Kidney pain is very uncommon, but it happens enough to sick people to include the warning and the fix.
Stage 3 — Copper 15–20 mg oral, then toward 30 mg
Add:
Magnesium glycinate about 400-600 mg (not 1000+ mg)
B1, B2, B3 as niacinamide, B5, B7, B12 — not B6, not B9 (Don’t take a B Complex)
Molybdenum about 1 mg
Potassium chloride in drinks
Optional: chromium, manganese, small creatine later if it does not bloat you
Stage 4 — Boron
Add boron after energy and salt are less chaotic. We use about 1/8 teaspoon of sodium tetraborate in morning coffee at full protocol, or capsules if you prefer. Boron can be a hard detox (anxiety, joints first). Ramp up slowly. Boron can cause nausea and anxiety when taking it. Research it first, before starting.
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/09/health/how-to-get-started-taking-boron/
Stage 5 — Iodine last
Iodine is a powerful brain nutrient. It also detoxes hard. Start after copper has eliminated allergies. If histamine or thyroid-feeling chaos explodes, stop iodine, stay on copper/zinc/C/potassium, try again later at 1 drop territory.
Iodine also deserves special research before beginning.
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/09/health/why-im-taking-iodine/
We use both potassium iodide and Lugol’s at full protocol. We teach you how to make them yourself to save money, in our other guides.
Selenium (about 200 mcg) is a helper with iodine and mercury pathways. Optional. Too much can make nails brittle.
Older Stages Guide, still useful for timing:
Stages for increasing copper and minerals
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/07/health/stages-for-increasing-copper-minerals/
Coffee is how we take copper, iodine, potassium and boron. Milk, sugar and cinnamon help improve the taste.
Second cup: we often skip boron and selenium getting the full dose in the first cup.
The design rule: do not block the copper.
High on the list of things to avoid:
https://revealingfraud.com/2022/09/health/supplements-to-avoid/
Sodium chloride
Iron pills / iron fortification as a “cure”
Vitamin A / retinol / carotenoid
Vitamin D
Calcium pills
B6 and B9
High-dose flushing niacin
NAC
colloidal silver
Chemical chelators (EDTA, DMSA, etc.)
Charcoal / fulvic / shilajit / clay stacks
Hormones taken to replace what minerals should restore
Excess magnesium, excess zinc, megadose C
Diet notes:
Heavy hydrogenated fat blocks copper.
We eat meat, milk, eggs, fruit, ordinary food. We are not pushing carnivore or vegan.
We avoid making the plate a vitamin A dump (We avoid: liver, sweet potato, ketchup-pizza-tomato, and high salt foods like soy sauce and salted meats).
Carnivore and Vegan diets both provide benefits, but typically only short term.
Carnivore mistakes:
–Don’t eat liver, it no longer provides copper and is high in iron and vitamin A that both deplete copper. Liver is no longer a health food.
–Carnivores don’t need high sodium chloride to make hydrochloric acid for digestion, which is a common mistake. Potassium chloride is the far better source.
–Carnivores also miss the benefits of lemon, to thin the bile for liver health. They miss the benefits of beans and fiber to bind toxic bile so the body makes new bile. Copper comes out in the bile.
–They miss the benefits of vitamin K in leafy greens. People give up on carnivore, because it does not work.
Vegetarian mistakes: Vegans get anxious and grumpy. They get depleted in zinc and B12 and begin to suffer from low hydrochloric acid and then lose the ability to even digest beef, which is a source of zinc and B12, both of which heal and calm the nerves, and then they are on a downward spiral. People give up on vegetarianism, because it does not work.
Drugs and alcohol block copper. If you are on prescribed medicine, that is a clinician problem. Copper plus a drug can mean the drug hits harder, or conversely, is detoxed too quickly, or copper cannot work. We are not your taper team.
There are no experts who can definitively help answer questions about interactions between high copper and drugs. Doctors don’t know copper, and we don’t know drugs. You have to take responsibility for yourself. Do extra study to learn what copper does in the body and the side effects of the drugs you are taking.
Often healing takes place one thing at a time:
Energy / ATP (days to weeks)
Sodium leaves the cells first, the body later (edema, stool, pulse) while the pump wakes up
Structure (collagen: skin, vessels, joints, gut)
Deeper detox and nerves
Later, “we look younger”
See: Timelines of Healing with the Copper Revolution Protocol https://revealingfraud.com/2026/07/health/timelines-of-healing-with-the-copper-revolution-protocol/
If week three creates symptoms of: “I swell and I want chips,” you may be just detoxing, not in failure.
Brain fog? Overwhelmed? Sorry. I’ve been there. Just take the copper, with zinc and C, at 5 mg in a day, eat food, drink water, stop adding salt. Read the guide again after copper starts working.
Our protocol is good for everyone, because everyone breathes oxygen, and everyone needs copper for cytochrome C oxidase in the mitochondria to make ATP. There are no exceptions to this biological reality. There is no replacement for copper to make ATP, and without oxygen making ATP with copper, we are dead, so without copper, we are dead.
Universal Physiology Outweighs Individual Differences
https://revealingfraud.com/2024/10/health/universal-physiology-outweighs-individual-differences/
The primary differences between people are the levels of toxins and the levels of nutrients in their body. Just as toxins displace nutrients and leave people deficient, taking the nutrients depletes the toxins and leads to better health.
The protocol is suitable for pregnant and nursing women, with no changes needed.

LESS IS NOT SAFER, IT’S NOT BETTER, IT’S NOT MORE COMFORTABLE, IT DOES NOT CREATE LESS SIDE EFFECTS, IT’S CREATES MORE TROUBLE, MORE SIDE EFFECTS, MORE MISERY, MORE DIFFICULTY, MORE ALLERGIES, MORE BRAIN FOG, and it’s not enough to get past the problems, not over 3 months.
