For anyone who cares about their health, you may be aware of the
dangers of toxic heavy metals such as aluminum, cadmium, mercury,
lead and arsenic that we take from our water and food, and only in the
air we breathe.
But what we do not know is that copper can also act as a heavy metal in the
system and become extremely toxic, causing chronic fatigue, cancer and a
range of autoimmune diseases as well as psychiatric problems including
bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and autism.
Deficiency and excess of copper
You certainly ask yourself the following question: Is not copper a mineral
essential for human health?
Well, yes, but the problem is that we are overexposed to copper and we are
unable to use it properly because copper causes both a deficiency and an
excess of metal.
Although copper plays a number of important roles in the body, such as
energy production, women's reproductive health, the creation of
neurotransmitters, immunity, and the maintenance of bone and connective
tissue, when there is excess in the body, the levels become unbalanced. And
that's where all the other problems come from.
Copper can be very toxic to human health. This happens when there is an
excess of metal (copper) in the body, but it is not well used because there is a
protein deficiency associated with copper (ceruloplasmin and
metallothionein). Without adequate levels of these proteins, unbound copper
circulates freely in the body and accumulates in the brain, liver and female
organs, where it wreaks havoc.
Copper toxicity disorders include: memory loss, depression, anxiety, lack of
attention, hyperactivity, autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, infertility, lack
of libido, fibromyalgia, hyperthyroidism, hashimoto, cardiovascular problems ,
Bad health of bones and teeth ...
In addition, researchers found a direct correlation between copper imbalance
and cancer:
Copper and estrogen
As copper increases, estrogen also increases, which is why today we are
seeing such an increase in "estrogen dominance" in men and women. Since
estrogen is a potent carcinogen, copper is involved in the development of
cancer.
Liver toxicity
When the copper is in excess, it accumulates in the liver, making this organ
much less effective in its detoxification work. When we can not properly
eliminate toxins, our cancer risk increases dramatically.
Copper imbalance and infections
Since the toxicity of copper makes us more susceptible to fungal and other
infections, we are more vulnerable to cancer because research has shown a
strong correlation between bacterial, fungal and viral infections and tumors.
