Copper Toxicity Is a Lie. Here's What's Really Poisoning You. w/ Morley Robbins

What people need to know is there's a massive narrative around how the body breaks down, and you're talking to someone who takes a very strident position. There is no disease. There is stress-induced mineral dysregulation that causes metabolic dysfunction, which causes energy loss. When you have energy loss, you're going to have symptoms. I guarantee it. What about copper toxicity or copper allergies? Our nanny, she has a lot of allergies and sensitivities to certain things. We often drink our water out of a copper bottle. We have copper bottles and copper cups. Not always, but we use them. She came to us one day and she said she realized she had a copper allergy. It seems like that would be counterintuitive because if copper is such an important part of our chemical makeup that fuels our vehicle, the human body, how is that possible? That's a wonderful question. Thanks for asking. It makes no sense, does it? On the surface, people should say, that makes absolutely no sense at all. It's like you have a water allergy, right? Oh, I'm allergic to water or air. Yeah, no, absolutely. We live in this world of duality where we're supposed to believe that copper is toxic, vitamin A is toxic, right? Wink, wink, don't you know? It turns out that in order to make copper usable in our body, we need to have retinol in our diet. Preformed animal-based retinol is very different than beta-carotene. It takes 12 beta-carotene to make one retinol. People have been led to believe that beta-carotene and retinol, they're one and the same. They're not, they're all the same. One's a skateboard, the other's a Ferrari. It takes a retinol to activate what are called copper enzymes that basically are pumps. What these pumps do is they put copper into the enzyme to make sure that they work. One of those enzymes is the PAM enzyme. Another enzyme is cytochrome C oxidase, which we were just talking about. Another is, a lot of people have connective tissue disorders. 45% of our human cells are connective tissue. Think about that, 45% cartilage, ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, fascia. 45% of our body is connective tissue holding us together. It's made by one enzyme. It's called lysyl oxidase. Most people have never heard of it. There's two atoms of copper inside. That enzyme doesn't work if copper's not there. Well, how did the copper get in there? It's a pump called ATP7A that loads it up, makes sure it's working, and then sets it free. What you may not recall, I was born in 52. A few years after I was born, a guy named Ike, President Eisenhower, had a heart attack on a golf course, no less. What was the response of the medical community? They took fat out of his diet. Got to get rid of that cholesterol. Got to get rid of that retinol. When they took retinol out of the diet, they destroyed the ability of the human body to make bioavailable copper. Who knew? It's one of the most amazing hijackings of humanity that's ever taken place. The key is, it doesn't take a lot of nutrients to allow the body to run right, but this concept of copper toxicity, it's very popular. It's very misunderstood. What's really at the base of it is, and I'm actually writing a separate book. It's going to be called The Myth of Copper Toxicity. It'll come out in a couple months. What's really behind it is too much iron in the body from too much iron in the food and in the supplements. Again, why is there too much iron? Because we believe, we've been trained to believe that we are anemic, wink, wink, not knowing that there's a difference between low iron on a blood test and high iron in the tissue. The blood test never measures the tissue level. People think that the blood test is perfectly representative of what's going on in the liver or the heart. No, it's not. It's representative of what's going on in the blood. The world has been fooled by this misunderstanding, and there's really two forms of anemia. There's an absolute iron deficiency, and there's functional iron deficiency. We're led to believe that everyone is suffering from absolute iron deficiency, when in fact, I would argue, the people who've been shot by a gun or been in an auto accident, they qualify for absolute. Everybody else is functional. It's a real source of distinction to get people to realize that the blood can misrepresent iron status in the tissue, and this hasn't been stressed enough in a doctor's training. It's a real source of confusion. According to the World Health Organization—I don't know whether that's a credible source anymore, but let's pretend it is—we're led to believe that a third of the earthlings on planet Earth, three billion people, are anemic. Let's think about it. Let's play with that for just a minute. Iron is the number one element on the planet, and before COVID, I would have argued that humans were the most evolved species. I'm not sure now. I'm on the fence now. But in order to believe that a third of the world's population is anemic means that the most evolved species on the planet has lost the ability to metabolize iron. That doesn't make any sense at all. As you get into the research the way I have, and just by a calling, by the grace of God, by whatever the process was, I was invited into this process. It's been an absolute amazing journey to discover the hidden mechanisms, the hidden metabolic processes, the hidden communications, and this whole notion of copper, iron, and oxygen is not at all well understood. When you begin to step back from it and really appreciate it for what it is, it smacks you in the face. You're like, oh my gosh, this is a serious problem. Your nanny is part of that dynamic that's been told that they're allergic to copper. She's copper toxic. The fact that you use copper vessels, that's great. They've been used in India for thousands of years, and it's a great way to control the pathogens. It's very effective at it. It's not a great way to restore copper status in your body, but it'll deal with the pathogens. What I've learned over the years is that anyone who has what's called elevated copper on a hair test or a blood test, they're told they're copper toxic. Invariably, they have too much ascorbic acid in their system. They're using hormone replacement therapy. They're using antibiotics. There's some chemistry in their day-to-day life that is blowing up the seruloplasmin protein, causing the copper to come out of the protein. It's going to get bound by something else, but it's going to show up in the blood work differently than if it was still inside the seruloplasmin protein. The level of confusion is notable. Your nanny is not allergic to copper. I would bet she's probably iron toxic. That would be my going-in proposition. She probably has some kind of iron dysregulation, and no one's ever told her that there's a difference between dietary iron and recycling iron. The dietary iron used to be one milligram a day, and the recycling system is 24 milligrams a day. The recycling system is run by what? Copper. Ding, ding, ding. You can't absorb the one milligram in our gut without what? Copper. Ding, ding, ding. They forgot to tell people that. There's all sorts of innuendo in the communication with the public about what the problem is. As you well know, I'm sure you know this, there's no money in healthy humans, is there? Absolutely not. I can assure you there's no money in copper, but there's a lot of integrity in copper. That's why I've studied it, because back when I was in my 30s, I made a vow that I was going to be a man of integrity. Now, I don't walk on water. I've made a lot of mistakes in my day, but as it relates to something like this, I want to make sure the public knows the facts, knows the truth, knows all of the nuance of the truth, so they can begin to challenge the narrative that's out there. We're waking up to the fact that there is a narrative in other parts of our lives. We know there's a narrative in the economy. We know there's a narrative in religion. We know there's a narrative in legislation, in governmental bodies. We're waking up to all these narratives. Well, what people need to know is there's a massive narrative around how the body breaks down, and you're talking to someone who takes a very strident position. There is no disease. There is stress-induced mineral dysregulation that causes metabolic dysfunction, which causes energy loss. When you have energy loss, you're going to have symptoms. I guarantee it. What do we do with those symptoms? We run to the doctor's office. We empty them on the doctor's desk, and they swirl them around like a Ouija board, and then they say, oh, you have XYZ syndrome, and they tattoo it on our forehead. Then we run home and get on the internet, and we Google XYZ syndrome and go, oh, those exactly are the symptoms I've got. There is no disease. The symptoms are real. I'm not denying the symptoms. But this idea that you are broken, no, you're out of balance, and you're not metabolizing your stress. You're not making the energy that you need in order to respond to that stress, and that's really what the root cause protocol is designed to do. So it's interesting, because with her, as a good example, she has health issues that come and go. They're probably a higher percentage than myself and my wife, and you can see that a lot of sensitivities and allergies. But if someone is being told they have copper toxicity, looking at what I've learned so far today and how critical copper is to the overall cell health and body health, if someone is told they have copper toxicity, I'm guessing that that's a really big issue, because that means something is off in the very fundamental building blocks of the healthy cells. Is that what you say? It's accurate? It is accurate. It is a big deal, because they're being told to withhold or be afraid of the very element that enables them to make energy to respond to stress. There's not 87 minerals involved in turning oxygen into water. There's only one. And so it's a very unsettling idea. So the doctors don't learn this? Whether they're homeopaths or chiropractors or osteopaths or allopaths, they're not taught. Really? They're not taught this? They're not taught. It's not taught in nutrition school. It's not taught in nursing school. And it's not taught in pharmacology school. And so there's a level of disbelief. It conjures up what's called cognitive dissonance. Oh, they're lying to me. That's a very uncomfortable concept for people to process. But you've got to go back, as we're learning now, they've been lying to us about a lot of stuff. It isn't just this one element. And what we've done, I mean, I've had the pleasure of reading 12,000 articles over the last 17 years. And they're not C. Dick and Jane Rahn articles. These are very important articles. And by the grace of God, I'm able to interpret them, connect the dots, and come up with interpretations to help the public to realize there's more to the story. And people probably have heard of Paul Harvey with all of his more to the story. Now you know the rest of the story. Well, what we're trying to do within the RCP is now you know the rest of the metabolic story of why you have the symptoms you've got. But it doesn't mean there's a disease. You just need to kind of rise above that din of insanity and just say, could there be more to the story? And what we've been able to do is document that, in fact, there is more to the story. And I think like with your nanny, I'm happy to volunteer my time, look at her hair test and her blood test. And I'm pretty confident with a conversation with her, I can tease out what's really the underlying factor. And again, not to be over the top, it's just I've had 8,500 consults. I've talked to a lot of people in 17 years. And it's such a, it's very disheartening to see how many people have been misled and misfed with rumors or these narratives. And I think it's time to separate wheat from chaff and find out what are the facts. Did you know that in the last few centuries, over half a million bells have been destroyed? There were literally bell graveyards. Now, the textbooks tell us that this was to use the metal. But if you've ever gone down this rabbit hole, you discover that the sounds that these bells made had amazing healing properties. There are even claims that certain regions with lots of these bells, church bells, etc. were mostly untouched by the bubonic plague. Now, your doctor might call you a conspiracy nut for thinking that. But even modern science recognizing the healing power of sound. So check out this study from the NIH. Doctors used sound therapy on chronic back pain, and they found, quote, significant reductions in pain sensation and pain-related disability. But here's the best part. You don't need some fancy, expensive sound equipment to find relief. So a woman named Linda Bamber Olson created something called the WaveWatch. So this little device has over 1,200 frequencies that you can use for everything from joint pain, to brain fog, to insomnia. So I've got one, and I've been using it for about six months.
