The minimum effective dose for people in the forum appears to be around 5 mg of copper per day. We couldn’t know this prior to the publication of the book, as we had no forum from which to gather data. And there are very few studies on copper in the range above 3 mg, and… Continue reading The Minimum Effective Dose of Copper: 5 mg

We know that copper is needed to make DHEA, testosterone, and estrogen. It has also been shown that taking hormones that cause growth causes copper deficiency. Testosterone is associated with increased heart attacks. Heart attacks are from copper deficiency, and copper has healed markers of heart disease. Estrogen, when given as hormone replacement therapy, can… Continue reading Copper: on Estrogen/Cancer and Testosterone/Heart Disease

Copper glycinate is second, but far less well studied. 2. Copper sulfate is used in the Olivares study of 800… Continue reading The Safety of Copper Sulfate

As you may have noticed, our cover title contains the word “love” in red, in reverse, in the word “Revolution”. This appeared in the Ron Paul Revolution logos. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ron_Paul_revolution.jpg I have been advocating the ideas of liberty and freedom for a long time: http://web.archive.org/web/20130317030119/http://silverstockreport.com/2013/ideas-freedom.html Understanding freedom means the understanding that I cannot be a dictator… Continue reading The Philosophy behind “The Copper Revolution”

This page was created in response to my investigation of George Brewer’s ideas on the toxicity of copper-2. The refutation of George’s ideas is NOT a refutation of the Mitosynergy product itself, even though Mitosynergy, as a company, hired George Brewer as a consultant. To be clear. Mitosynergy, as a product, has testimonials that work.… Continue reading Refuting George J Brewer’s Copper-1, Copper-2 Ideas

I was shocked to learn that Vitamin B6 is a nerve toxin. And that it does not even pass the basic test to be a vitamin, because B6 deficiency does not cause any disease condition. I list 8 sources, and my own experiences. The UK advises the upper limit of B6 is as low as… Continue reading “Vitamin” B6 — A nerve toxin!

Many people look to Merck as an authoritative source. I feel I must provide some clarity. Here is the source, and the text.

Copper can be used to detox fluoride. What if we should have more copper in our bodies than fluoride? At least twice as much or more. Why? Because the copper (II) fluoride molecule contains twice the weight of copper as fluoride. Most people, the average person, has 36 times more fluoride than copper. How much… Continue reading Chapter 36: Copper binds to, and Detoxes Fluoride

Some people think we only have to worry about fluoride in the water.  Or maybe they skeptically think, “Well, I don’t swallow my toothpaste”. Dentists often begin fluoride treatments for teenagers, right when they start getting acne, which is from the fluoride. But fluoride has many other sources, nearly invisible.  They put fluoride-based antifungals on… Continue reading Chapter 34: Fluoride in the Food Supply and other sources

Fluoride lowers ceruloplasmin, the key copper transport protein in the blood, thus blocking copper. Serum sialic acid and ceruloplasmin levels in experimental fluorosis (Y D Sharma, 1983) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6836584/ Published way back in 1983, fluoride lowers ceruloplasmin.  Fluoride lowers copper: Effect of excessive dietary fluoride on nutrient digestibility and retention of iron, copper, zinc, and manganese… Continue reading Chapter 33: Effects of Fluoride on the body and copper

Do we even need fluoride for our teeth?  There is no evidence that fluoride is good for the teeth.  Only many claims. WATER FLUORIDATION & THE QUALITY OF EVIDENCE PROBLEM “As far as the York team were able to determine, there are no randomized controlled trials for water fluoridation. It’s not that they couldn’t have… Continue reading Chapter 32: Fluoride Leeches Copper from Pipes

As we saw, phytate depletes copper.  The decision between white flour and whole wheat is a bad one.  They each deplete copper. The values of phytic acid in breads ranged between 1.48 mg/g (white wheat-bread) and 7.53 mg/g (bran bread).  At first glance, you might think, oh ok, white bread is better? However, enriched White… Continue reading Chapter 31: Enriched White Flour blocks copper 7 ways

Chapter 25: Parasites cause lower copper The effect of gastrointestinal parasitism on blood copper and hemoglobin levels in sheep “Copper was administered intramuscularly to parasite infected and noninfected animals. The results showed that parasitism has a depressing effect on blood copper and Hb levels, even when administered parenterally. It is concluded that parasitism can aggravate… Continue reading Chapter 25-30 Parasites and Iron block copper, Iron causes copper deficiency

Chapter 24: 45 Copper Antagonists (Some are also synergists!) I have decided to order the list in “some kind of order”.  It could have been alphabetical, but that’s typically useless.  It could have been by category, such as minerals, then vitamins, etc.  I decided to order the list from my favorite items to my least… Continue reading Chapter 24: 45 Copper Antagonists (Some are also synergists!)

Lifting weights creates a need for extra copper. I realized this because lifters complain about “central nervous system fatigue” from lifting heavy.  Copper is needed for “fatigue” and for “nerves”.  Copper is needed by the nerves in at least 15 different ways. Lifters also often suffer from neuropathy in the hands. They blame swollen biceps,… Continue reading Chapter 23: Athletes Need More Copper
