Cu-RE Your Fatigue Quotes

“anemia is not an iron deficiency. It is, in fact, iron dysregulation. And this dysregulation is born of a deficiency of bioavailable copper, due to a lack of copper”

“key, and please be sure to avoid commercial orange juice products with added calcium. The vitamin C-complex in orange juice helps to ensure that the minerals noted below get to the liver to then nourish the adrenals. 1/4 tsp of Cream of Tartar (potassium bitartrate). This is an excellent source of potassium. As an alternative, you can use potassium bicarbonate or potassium chloride. 1/4 tsp of fresh ground Redmond’s Real Salt or sea salt. This is an excellent source of sodium, plus 90+ other trace minerals. (Please know that the original source of this recipe was Susan Blackard, NP, ND, PhD, at the Rejuvenation Health Center in Springfield, MO. The following alternatives have been compiled by UBER MAG-pie and RCP enthusiast, Valerie Engh.) Alternative #1: Replace Cream of Tartar and orange juice with organic coconut water and whole food vitamin C-complex. 8 oz. / 1 cup / 250 mL of coconut water. Be sure to use enough coconut water to ensure you receive 375 mg of potassium. 1/4 tsp of fresh ground Redmond’s Real Salt or sea salt. 60 mg of whole food vitamin C-complex.”

“Based on my research, I think probably the most disheartening finding is that taking supplemental vitamin D creates a metabolic demand on the liver to flip it into the bioactive form. This demand uses up magnesium, and the bioactive vitamin D triggers the synthesis of metallothionein, a protein that binds up copper a thousand times stronger than it binds up zinc, as we noted previously. So suddenly we have practitioners chasing a form of vitamin D that’s flawed using a range that’s flawed, creating potassium wasting, which then leads to a buildup of iron accumulation in the tissue. Then we find out that copper is being bound up by metallothionein and therefore is no longer available for metabolic transactions, and neither is magnesium. Collectively, this series of events creates a metabolic crisis in our mitochondria. This”

“Yet when was the last time your doctor measured your serum copper (ideal = 100), your serum ceruloplasmin (ideal = 30), or computed your copper/ceruloplasmin ratio, which should be 3.33 (Scheinberg IH and Sternlieb I, 1960)?”

“To sum up, we lose the ability to transport copper because we don’t have access to the ceruloplasmin taxi, which feeds copper to the cells and to the mitochondria. If ceruloplasmin cannot get copper to the cells and their mitochondrial power grids, the result is a general breakdown of ATP production. And if enough copper is not available, we cannot regulate oxygen metabolism and cytochrome c oxidase is not going to be able to activate oxygen to create energy. If that happens, then we’re not going to be able to regulate iron metabolism. The end result is that our mitochondria are not able to make energy, and the body is not going to be able to make heme and iron sulfur clusters, which are created as a part of the mitochondrial actions. Given that iron is a terminal destination in the mitochondria, we’re going to have a serious problem because this iron will build up inside the ferritin storage proteins, both inside the mitochondria, as well as inside the cells. Then we’re going to lose the ability to regulate the reactive oxidative stress that takes place. And we’re not going to have enough antioxidant enzymes to break down the oxidative stress that’s building. This is why both copper and ceruloplasmin are so important for proper energy production that does not result in iron buildup and oxidative stress, particularly in Complex IV, but in all mitochondrial complexes of the ETC.”

“But, as they say, “there’s more.” Another important and interesting fact about human biology and biochemistry is that T3, the active thyroid hormone, acts as an oxygen sensor in the body, helping to ensure that oxygen is being burned (“activated”) cleanly, therefore not causing excess oxidation. If this is not the case, this critical hormone sends a message signaling the liver to make more ceruloplasmin”
