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.

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”.

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.

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
