I started taking ascorbic acid with zinc daily right around the start of the pandemic. I started to notice my beard lose its color very quickly. Learning these details about how ascorbic acid and zinc can deplete copper and build up hydrogen peroxide makes a ton of sense why my hair has been losing color so rapidly. I’m going to quit taking ascorbic acid because I eat fruits and vegetables. Thank you for this valuable conversation. You’ve earned a new subscriber.
Thank you for bringing Morley Robbins on. He dives deep and his insights are always helpful. He takes a holistic approach that is not seen enough in trying to understood how our bodies work.
I need to spend some time in research and the information is astounding. The benefit of a small amount of copper in our diet is critical to good health. And it’s surprising that the medical community has little too no interest in health as they do in prescribing a prescriptions drug
Pushing 70 here, did copper (bisglycinate) at 2 mg daily for almost two months and nothing, so I upped the dosage to 10 mg two weeks back and it certainly SEEMS to be working. Detox is gross and uncomfortable, hopefully that abates, cause I've read the book 'CUre' and I know have a long way to go! My legs which have bad collagen damage feel so much better! And though all my joints seem to ache all day (detox?) I can still exercise. Today in the mirror, up top there's more pepper than salt, weird. Tomorrow who knows! Thanks for bringing Morley on, great guy!
I have been suffering from sciatica for months the only thing that helped me is copper , it just unbelievable how fast it worked for me. Thank you Morley you have given me hope again y bought your book and read but I wad still scared to try until I couldn’t even get to bathroom in morning from pain. I am forever grateful to you
I do a lot of supplements. Even a new doctor for my yearly checkup thought my age was a mistake on my chart. He said I look and function 20 years younger For what every doctor says another doctor says the opposite I work full time never get sick and have a ton of energy so I’m sticking with what I do
I'm losing my mind here - I have been reading and researching for years, and copper has been so demonized (esp for adrenal fatigue and fibromyalgia), I had written it off for years. DAMNIT. I bought and took some copper yesterday, and it was SUPER apparent to me that my body was detoxing. Insane. And so frustrating that my health has been getting worse for so many years...probably all because I needed copper. 🤦♀️

How are you feeling now after a week of additional copper? How were your de-toxin symptoms and have you run into any unforeseen issues? I took a copper tablet last night and woke up with a banging headache…did you experience that? It would be lovely to hear back how you’re doing. 🤗💕👍🏻
@@trappedinroom1014I'm doing well - I think I recall a little bit of a headachey feeling at first, but it didn't last long when it happened, and I don't get that now. I've looked at the Root Cause Protocol and incorporated some changes in accordance with that. Most of it I was already doing. One extra thing it recommends is diatomaceous earth. I've never done that before, so I've started it. I had stopped taking pregnenolone when I started the copper, just to see if I still needed it, and I seem to have a recurrence of nighttime hot flashes (very mild but still disturbing my sleep). I decided to take the pregnenolone again starting today, and it makes a big difference for me in daytime energy. We'll see how sleep goes tonight.
The Root Cause is the standard that addresses the problems caused by farming practices or lack thereof that are largely responsible for all health issues. Soil amendment are depleted and void of minerals we need for good health .
When you say it that way.. it is that way.. so let's say the other way now.. let's fix this.. but agreed 100 because all these glyphosphate binding to nirtitients in soil and prevent plants for manufacturing for the animals and human body.. all in all can we restore the soil.
Soil in some cases has minerals in it but crops are so heavily treated with fungicides and pesticides that plants are no longer able to extract minerals from the soil. This gets even worse if top soil really is depleted and eroded
This is why Cod Liver Oil is amazing, it contains Vit D and Vit A together! This was very helpful thank you. Within 3 days of taking cod liver oil, i could see the inflammation go down in my body and skin, im looking forward to seeing what copper will do for me
I have a cousin whose iron overload caused joint damage. Doctors thought he had arthritis and gave him four joint replacements, both shoulders and knees.
Turmeric, more specifically Curcumin supplement can be helpful with iron overload. The best Curcumin supplement on the market to my knowledge is Solgar brand. Hope that may be helpful
Bilateral total reverse shoulder joint replacement DX @47 yrs. Yale, & NYU surgeons gave zero info regarding cause. I have not had the “replacements” still figuring out cause. No arthritis, yes to Zero connective tissue left in joint! I pray I’m Getting closer
During the Covid pandemic every. rushed out to get supplements . We take minerals like Zinc supplements but over that two years Zinc deployed owr Copper The new pandemic LONG ZINC . Dr.Morleys Root Cause talks has opened my eye to the minerals and how they function in owr body's
Thank you so much this is exactly the information I have been looking for for about two years Now I understand why I couldn't find it this wonderful man
Thank you for always presenting interesting, and often conflicting information... Ha- this is making my head spin!! I use Cronometer for every bite I put into my mouth so have a very good idea of how much copper, zinc & everything else I'm consuming. I saw my Zinc/Copper ratio (ideal rate according to Cronometer) and started supplementing with tiny amounts of zinc. Most zinc supplements are huge - so I got the lowest dose I could find (15 mg or 5 mg for children's) and cut them in half and quarters to take enough (usually 3 mg - 7.5 mg) to bring my ratio to about 10 or 11 (zinc) to 1 (copper). Ughhhh... there is so much conflicting information out there - and from seemingly very smart, credible people. Based on all of that, I've upped my daily protein (animal) to about 1 gram per 1 lb body weight - but still question if I should consume higher amounts through vegetable sources instead .... I watch Dr. Ken Berry (carnivore, but I'm sure you know that) - and Gabrielle Lyon, Don Layman, etc who all make so much sense but then so does Simon Hill (vegan), Valter Longo & David Sinclair. For now, I'm sticking to a high animal protein diet with a lot of low carb veg & fiber (30-38 g), and smaller amounts of sweet potatoes, winter squash, steel-cut oats, buckwheat groats & brown rice for my carbs (no refined, unless I go out to dinner - and even then, I usually bring a sweet potato stashed in my purse), nice amount of nuts & some fruit - usually strawberries & cranberries (sweetened with stevia). YIKES - what the heck should we eat??!! 🤪

Protien animal is fine so long as your kidneys work well ..if you have bad kidneys it's not good and animal protien is preferable. Even eith the recent upgrades of protien needs its still only 1.2 to 1.6 per kg body weight. And that might be less if your body is made of a lot of fat. If you have a lot of body fay you need more fat soluable vit d. Also remember that chronometer doesn't have very accurate stats for trace minerals often doesn't have any info on that at all if you check in the individual food items it often has zero in the feild for some thing but if. You google it it will have a certain amount usually measured or average. But then it also depends on the foods. We have 2 cooperative organic farms and they spent money to get the nutrients tested against some supermarket veg and they were higher I n almost all markers ..surprisingly some of the supermarket veg actually had higher of some things. So there's that as well. My general thing is that the less you eat the longer you live the more you move the healthier you are and the better it tastes ie veg the better it probably is. When you get carrots that are bland and watery and bitter and tastes like chemicals versus taking one out of the ground and how amazing it tastes. . I go by that a lot. I cant be bothered with veg unless they're really fresh and I'd rather eat fresh nettles out of my yard than some supermarket stuff that just doesn't seem at all to be good to my taste buds or eyes. There are people in India who eat fugg all except rice and lentils and irish years ago ate fugg all but potatoes ... so you cant go that far wrong so long as you are getting fresh food and you feel full and satisfied and it tastes good. Like recently I got cod liver oil and to me it tastes like butter soooo good I have been drinking it a lot. I am feeling like my skin is getting better ... but before and everyone else has told me it tastes aweful like fish. But to me cos I need it I think it tastes great. I also know when I've had low iron if I drink flordadix tonic at first it tastes amazing then by the decons or third bottle it tastes like rusty nails to me and I figure that's because I don't need it any more. Zinc is similar if you need zinc and you suck a zinc tablet it tastes fine if you don't need it it tastes like a metal spoon. So I go by taste and since I'm healthy I trust my body. I do realise if I had issues thst moght mess uo my taste as well cos when I was badly low iron I was craving carbs. I finally had a big bowl of nettle soup and it was like omg that's what my body needed! So eat it if it tastes good if it makes you feel good then don't worry so much. You can do a lot of things with a whole person than a calculator so calculating everything mathematically is not the only way to calculate. Also ascorbic acid cures scurvy. So thst this guy quoting hacks I'm not soo into ehat he's saying. Its pretty weak waffle the way he's speaking. Trust your body.
@@Padraigpwell just because it cures something in the short term doesn’t mean it’s great for everything all the time. And whether someone is a hack or not really doesn’t address their argument.
@@ComeAlongKay what on earth are you talking about? What is the it"" to which you refer...you must define what it is before you use the word it to descrube something.... like the cat is black it is a happy cat. Not just it is happy. Cos i am not going to know what in fudging christ youre talking about because this is not face book
Chronometer can tell you what you are ingesting and how much, but it can’t tell you how much you are actually absorbing. You can enter all kinds of plant foods and it will tell you how much protein, minerals, etc. but it cannot tell you how much of it is usable. In other words, it looks good on paper but doesn’t necessarily translate into reality.
Dr Morley, the root cause has been so timely in my opinion in my case dealing with the onset of neuropathy . Like with you I had.the come to Jesus moment. God sent I believe , as after going in circles on the solution I implemented your root cause strategy. . I'm glad to say the symptoms are miraculously improving. .
I am very interested in the copper issue as it did make me nervous to supplement with it. But this also raises the questions about vit d supplementation along with A, as I do both. So how to take etc., Would be very helpful to learn.

I find they did a good job expanding on the topics to create associations while keeping it relatively concise; however, would be cool if main points and theoretical solutions could be summarized at the end of the video, especially if a video isn’t time stamped
I remember when my knees bothered me i drank faucet water for a few weeks and my pains would go aways.. now i notice this bottle crap don't help at all no matter how much i drink. Copper pipes are key and are being removed .
Copper pipes are being slowly replaced now with plastic pipes…which will reduce levels even more! They’ve pulled the same demonisation about boron, borax and boric acid as well. Something else that has been diminished by silence is silica…there’s some great older videos about bio-silica. 😁👍🏻💕
Hey Dr Doug! Brilliant video as usual- you guys are at the top of your game. Would you consider doing a video on Accutane/vitamin A/BMD for those of us who took it? It's hard to find long-term side effects on BMD, and it is a Vitamin A derivative, so would those of us who took this monster drug have different vitamin A requirements years later? Thanks for considering!
As.you state Dr.Morley, the food we eat , grow in soil depleted and. are void of minerals needed for life and health. . We need.to address farming practices and support small local farmers that grow healthy food.
Agreed 100%! The food source has been depleted for almost a century if not longer. You'd have to also address Chemtrails and aluminum & how to reinvigorate dead soil. There are farmers out there doing this, but not all of them. This was a great interview. I'd love to hear his thoughts on this.
Our Farmers have been sold that they can't afford to farm if they Don't Spray Herbicide which is the Chemical GLYPHOSATE which binds minerals in the soil. & when we eat food with Glyphosate it damages our Gut Microbiome & we wonder why we are tired & sick
So interesting… I’m just a regular person, curious and like to research everything but never did I understand the hipe about zinc and ascorbic acid! Never took them, I just follow my instincts;)
I read somewhere that bacteria thrive on iron...that they eat it...and given that we accumulate iron in our bodies this could explain many conditions rooted in inflammation
And it also explains why so many of us are anemic (mold toxicity - work, gym and home. Once that happens, mycotoxins are always around. Yes, bacteria, and also parasites, heavy metals....molds..they all steal iron by feasting on it. He does need to talk about women too though....we bleed monthly and that is also noteworthy for discussion if you're already dealing with pathogenic elevation.
@@jac1161 you might want to take iodine. I used to get cold on the bus in summer with the AC on.. I also had dry skin on my scalp forehead and around my nostrils. I took a dose of potassium iodide and the same day had a change in metabolism. On the bus with just a T-shirt I was not cold at all and I actually had sweat coming out of my palms. My dry skin issue went away and I didn't even need chapstick the entire winter even being outside in 18 degrees weather. Lips didn't even come close to being chapped. I think iodine must relate to iron on a correct way
@@Molineddi I think that first dose was semi conservative like maybe 3-5 drops ...I'm not sure. It may have been a full dropper which is about 21 drops. I take a full dropper everyday in my coffee and have taken that amount for about a decade now
I bought copper glycinate and the furst tune i took it i had the most vivid and detailed longest dream of my life. I have a feeling i was not absorbing iron because my copper was low and all during the pandemic i was taking zinc lozenges! Im already feeling a change from taking copper
I live in the rain forest of the Oregon coastal mountains. Up until the '60's, our very low pH drinking water was transported through iron pipes that had a Zn coating which quickly dissolved the Zn out of the pipe, and then worked on the iron to rust it. In the 70's, we began replacing those pipes with copper. After 15 years, the copper pipes were dissolved enough to perforate. Next came replacement with PVC. Now, in our great wisdom, we have replaced them with PEX. QQQ: If we drank a LOT of Cu for many years, I wonder how our health was affected differently than other regions with higher ph water?

According to vitamin A toxicity: polar bear story was about cadmium toxicity in fact as it later turned out (Bob Barefoot has written it in his book). Vitamin A is safe if you combine it with vitamin D like cod liver oil contains. And add calcium and magnesium but avoid Ca-carbonate form with food (CaCO3 neutralizes stomac acid). Good to know copper is important with vitamin A. Only toxic form is the artificial water soluble retinyl-acetate because liver can't store it in high amount (it is also fat soluble so liver won't convert).
Bjoshua, I take Vitamin A, D3, and Zinc. Do you have ANY clue how much Copper to take ? Plus, are there different doses for different ages ? I am elderly and this doctor is…..waaaaay over my head intellectually. Thank you !❤️
@@carolcole570 I forgot to mention water soluble vitamin A is toxic but added to my comment. Sorry, I can't sugget amount of copper, I'm still looking for a good recipe. But I can suggest lysine (essential amino acid) we have lysine deficiency because of too much arginine in average diet (mostly comes from seeds) Lysine is important in many places in the body including absorbing iron, zinc, calcium (maybe copper but it is not mentioned separately) and building proteins. And some creatine for supporting methylation.

I am quite concerned by how we all have accumulated lead in our bones (where it does less damage than in soft tissues) 100 t0 1000 x's that accumulated in paleo bone. When the body comes under stress of illness, old age, or pregnancy and needs a sudden availability of calcium, bone Ca is mobilized. The body does not readily differentiate the Ca and the Pb, so lead gets mobilized too, at just the worst times of vulnerability. I think it is very important to pay attention to the lead toxicology research literature in how mitochondrial function can be harmed.! How do Zn, Pb, Cu, and Fe play together? And, how problematic is this bone lead mobilization at the most vulnerable times?

Shouldnt carnivore be providing or getting high level of copper from liver as compared to the regular eaters and vegetables like people. I believe so.. point again for meat
@@ImiChitterman in my book meat gets every point. There is "anti-nutrients" found in webster dictionary in vegetables such as Oxalates an acid that binds to minerals and blocks their absorption. If the animals are not grass fed or fed from products grown with no life in the soil there it will be lacking in nutrition. The plant drops cakes that are eaten within three seconds and pooped out by these organisms to make them available for the plant. The balance in soil is key in the "soil food web". Compost tea is the solution to putting the life into the soil or eat grass fed liver or wild caught shell fish like oysters, shrimp.
Interesting. When I don't feel well, I do an ascorbic acid flush (1000mg/1hr-2hrs) and am better same day. 🤷♂️ Don't take vitamin c unless I have to do the flush.
It is confusing. I was taking high doses of vitamin c after reading the book Doctor Yourself. I don’t take as much now. Side note though I was the only one at home or work that didn’t get Covid
If soils are depleted of minerals, where did the minerals go? Plants harvested, humans eat but where do the minerals go? Excrement or when the body dies and goes back to soil? Don't the minerals have to be somewhere still on earth?

My version. The glyphosphate and such cides are bounding the minerial in the soil and thus the plants cannot get enough to convert and load.. the animals have to pick the right grass and food to ensure balance but the levels of the minerial are low because it gets stuck by the great glyphosphate aka round up..
Zinc is used in more reactions in the body than copper.of course copper is essential for some reactions. Both are important. Copper is less buffered in the body. Excess zinc is easier spelled as far as I know.
What does Morley Robbins say about Colloidal Copper? Is it bioavailable? Is Colloidal Copper as or more antibacterial antimicrobial than Colloidal Silver?

I think they are giving information,,they are not giving any advice or prescription,,different ppl will conclude different....because every reader wants to feel he knows as much as a professional doctor
Soo does Morley not know the work of Dr Frederick Klenner who treated people with polio with ascobate aka Vit C in his clinic and people lined up outside to be treated,or the fact that clinics in other countries were treating covid patients with IVC n gettn well in days not weeks or months like here in the U.S,you cant just say ascobate is useless
I started taking ascorbic acid with zinc daily right around the start of the pandemic. I started to notice my beard lose its color very quickly. Learning these details about how ascorbic acid and zinc can deplete copper and build up hydrogen peroxide makes a ton of sense why my hair has been losing color so rapidly. I’m going to quit taking ascorbic acid because I eat fruits and vegetables. Thank you for this valuable conversation. You’ve earned a new subscriber.

I need to spend some time in research and the information is astounding. The benefit of a small amount of copper in our diet is critical to good health.
And it’s surprising that the medical community has little too no interest in health as they do in prescribing a prescriptions drug

Pushing 70 here, did copper (bisglycinate) at 2 mg daily for almost two months and nothing, so I upped the dosage to 10 mg two weeks back and it certainly SEEMS to be working. Detox is gross and uncomfortable, hopefully that abates, cause I've read the book 'CUre' and I know have a long way to go! My legs which have bad collagen damage feel so much better! And though all my joints seem to ache all day (detox?) I can still exercise. Today in the mirror, up top there's more pepper than salt, weird. Tomorrow who knows!

Same with me. I discovered it online as a possible aid and if I stop taking copper the Sciatica comes right back.
I do a lot of supplements. Even a new doctor for my yearly checkup thought my age was a mistake on my chart.

I'm losing my mind here - I have been reading and researching for years, and copper has been so demonized (esp for adrenal fatigue and fibromyalgia), I had written it off for years. DAMNIT.
I bought and took some copper yesterday, and it was SUPER apparent to me that my body was detoxing. Insane. And so frustrating that my health has been getting worse for so many years...probably all because I needed copper. 🤦♀️

How are you feeling now after a week of additional copper? How were your de-toxin symptoms and have you run into any unforeseen issues? I took a copper tablet last night and woke up with a banging headache…did you experience that? It would be lovely to hear back how you’re doing. 🤗💕👍🏻
@@trappedinroom1014I'm doing well - I think I recall a little bit of a headachey feeling at first, but it didn't last long when it happened, and I don't get that now. I've looked at the Root Cause Protocol and incorporated some changes in accordance with that. Most of it I was already doing. One extra thing it recommends is diatomaceous earth. I've never done that before, so I've started it.
I had stopped taking pregnenolone when I started the copper, just to see if I still needed it, and I seem to have a recurrence of nighttime hot flashes (very mild but still disturbing my sleep). I decided to take the pregnenolone again starting today, and it makes a big difference for me in daytime energy. We'll see how sleep goes tonight.

Hello which copper supplements did you use i have copper deficiency with many health issues at the moment m using chelated copper
The Root Cause is the standard that addresses the problems caused by farming practices or lack thereof that are largely responsible for all health issues.
Soil amendment are depleted and void of minerals we need for good health .
Thanks for sharing!
government likely came before the farmer problem
When you say it that way.. it is that way.. so let's say the other way now.. let's fix this.. but agreed 100 because all these glyphosphate binding to nirtitients in soil and prevent plants for manufacturing for the animals and human body.. all in all can we restore the soil.
Soil in some cases has minerals in it but crops are so heavily treated with fungicides and pesticides that plants are no longer able to extract minerals from the soil. This gets even worse if top soil really is depleted and eroded
This is why Cod Liver Oil is amazing, it contains Vit D and Vit A together! This was very helpful thank you. Within 3 days of taking cod liver oil, i could see the inflammation go down in my body and skin, im looking forward to seeing what copper will do for me

Thank you so much this is exactly the information I have been looking for for about two years
Now I understand why I couldn't find it this wonderful man
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for always presenting interesting, and often conflicting information... Ha- this is making my head spin!! I use Cronometer for every bite I put into my mouth so have a very good idea of how much copper, zinc & everything else I'm consuming. I saw my Zinc/Copper ratio (ideal rate according to Cronometer) and started supplementing with tiny amounts of zinc. Most zinc supplements are huge - so I got the lowest dose I could find (15 mg or 5 mg for children's) and cut them in half and quarters to take enough (usually 3 mg - 7.5 mg) to bring my ratio to about 10 or 11 (zinc) to 1 (copper).
Ughhhh... there is so much conflicting information out there - and from seemingly very smart, credible people. Based on all of that, I've upped my daily protein (animal) to about 1 gram per 1 lb body weight - but still question if I should consume higher amounts through vegetable sources instead .... I watch Dr. Ken Berry (carnivore, but I'm sure you know that) - and Gabrielle Lyon, Don Layman, etc who all make so much sense but then so does Simon Hill (vegan), Valter Longo & David Sinclair. For now, I'm sticking to a high animal protein diet with a lot of low carb veg & fiber (30-38 g), and smaller amounts of sweet potatoes, winter squash, steel-cut oats, buckwheat groats & brown rice for my carbs (no refined, unless I go out to dinner - and even then, I usually bring a sweet potato stashed in my purse), nice amount of nuts & some fruit - usually strawberries & cranberries (sweetened with stevia).
YIKES - what the heck should we eat??!! 🤪

Protien animal is fine so long as your kidneys work well ..if you have bad kidneys it's not good and animal protien is preferable. Even eith the recent upgrades of protien needs its still only 1.2 to 1.6 per kg body weight. And that might be less if your body is made of a lot of fat. If you have a lot of body fay you need more fat soluable vit d. Also remember that chronometer doesn't have very accurate stats for trace minerals often doesn't have any info on that at all if you check in the individual food items it often has zero in the feild for some thing but if. You google it it will have a certain amount usually measured or average. But then it also depends on the foods. We have 2 cooperative organic farms and they spent money to get the nutrients tested against some supermarket veg and they were higher I n almost all markers ..surprisingly some of the supermarket veg actually had higher of some things. So there's that as well. My general thing is that the less you eat the longer you live the more you move the healthier you are and the better it tastes ie veg the better it probably is. When you get carrots that are bland and watery and bitter and tastes like chemicals versus taking one out of the ground and how amazing it tastes. . I go by that a lot. I cant be bothered with veg unless they're really fresh and I'd rather eat fresh nettles out of my yard than some supermarket stuff that just doesn't seem at all to be good to my taste buds or eyes. There are people in India who eat fugg all except rice and lentils and irish years ago ate fugg all but potatoes ... so you cant go that far wrong so long as you are getting fresh food and you feel full and satisfied and it tastes good. Like recently I got cod liver oil and to me it tastes like butter soooo good I have been drinking it a lot. I am feeling like my skin is getting better ... but before and everyone else has told me it tastes aweful like fish. But to me cos I need it I think it tastes great. I also know when I've had low iron if I drink flordadix tonic at first it tastes amazing then by the decons or third bottle it tastes like rusty nails to me and I figure that's because I don't need it any more. Zinc is similar if you need zinc and you suck a zinc tablet it tastes fine if you don't need it it tastes like a metal spoon. So I go by taste and since I'm healthy I trust my body. I do realise if I had issues thst moght mess uo my taste as well cos when I was badly low iron I was craving carbs. I finally had a big bowl of nettle soup and it was like omg that's what my body needed! So eat it if it tastes good if it makes you feel good then don't worry so much. You can do a lot of things with a whole person than a calculator so calculating everything mathematically is not the only way to calculate. Also ascorbic acid cures scurvy. So thst this guy quoting hacks I'm not soo into ehat he's saying. Its pretty weak waffle the way he's speaking. Trust your body.
@@Padraigpwell just because it cures something in the short term doesn’t mean it’s great for everything all the time. And whether someone is a hack or not really doesn’t address their argument.
@@ComeAlongKay what on earth are you talking about? What is the it"" to which you refer...you must define what it is before you use the word it to descrube something.... like the cat is black it is a happy cat. Not just it is happy. Cos i am not going to know what in fudging christ youre talking about because this is not face book
Chronometer can tell you what you are ingesting and how much, but it can’t tell you how much you are actually absorbing. You can enter all kinds of plant foods and it will tell you how much protein, minerals, etc. but it cannot tell you how much of it is usable. In other words, it looks good on paper but doesn’t necessarily translate into reality.

Hey Dr Doug! Brilliant video as usual- you guys are at the top of your game. Would you consider doing a video on Accutane/vitamin A/BMD for those of us who took it? It's hard to find long-term side effects on BMD, and it is a Vitamin A derivative, so would those of us who took this monster drug have different vitamin A requirements years later? Thanks for considering!
Hi! Thank you so much for this recommendation. We will look into this!
As.you state Dr.Morley, the food we eat , grow in soil depleted and. are void of minerals needed for life and health. . We need.to address farming practices and support small local farmers that grow healthy food.
Thanks for sharing this!
Agreed 100%! The food source has been depleted for almost a century if not longer. You'd have to also address Chemtrails and aluminum & how to reinvigorate dead soil. There are farmers out there doing this, but not all of them. This was a great interview. I'd love to hear his thoughts on this.
Our Farmers have been sold that they can't afford to farm if they Don't Spray Herbicide which is the Chemical GLYPHOSATE which binds minerals in the soil. & when we eat food with Glyphosate it damages our Gut Microbiome & we wonder why we are tired & sick

I read somewhere that bacteria thrive on iron...that they eat it...and given that we accumulate iron in our bodies this could explain many conditions rooted in inflammation

Thank you for sharing your experience
I live in the rain forest of the Oregon coastal mountains. Up until the '60's, our very low pH drinking water was transported through iron pipes that had a Zn coating which quickly dissolved the Zn out of the pipe, and then worked on the iron to rust it. In the 70's, we began replacing those pipes with copper. After 15 years, the copper pipes were dissolved enough to perforate. Next came replacement with PVC. Now, in our great wisdom, we have replaced them with PEX. QQQ: If we drank a LOT of Cu for many years, I wonder how our health was affected differently than other regions with higher ph water?

According to vitamin A toxicity: polar bear story was about cadmium toxicity in fact as it later turned out (Bob Barefoot has written it in his book).
Vitamin A is safe if you combine it with vitamin D like cod liver oil contains. And add calcium and magnesium but avoid Ca-carbonate form with food (CaCO3 neutralizes stomac acid).
Good to know copper is important with vitamin A.
Only toxic form is the artificial water soluble retinyl-acetate because liver can't store it in high amount (it is also fat soluble so liver won't convert).

Sorry, I can't sugget amount of copper, I'm still looking for a good recipe.

Lysine is important in many places in the body including absorbing iron, zinc, calcium (maybe copper but it is not mentioned separately) and building proteins.

I am quite concerned by how we all have accumulated lead in our bones (where it does less damage than in soft tissues) 100 t0 1000 x's that accumulated in paleo bone. When the body comes under stress of illness, old age, or pregnancy and needs a sudden availability of calcium, bone Ca is mobilized. The body does not readily differentiate the Ca and the Pb, so lead gets mobilized too, at just the worst times of vulnerability. I think it is very important to pay attention to the lead toxicology research literature in how mitochondrial function can be harmed.! How do Zn, Pb, Cu, and Fe play together? And, how problematic is this bone lead mobilization at the most vulnerable times?

My dear Mother was treated with fluoride 35 + years ago for osteoporosis. She developed breast cancer and died in 2 1/2 years.
Flouride can actually increase osteoporosis as well as a host of other problems. Please do your research.
It can increase the strenth of tooth enamel. Not sure if you had a bone and wanted to use it as a stick maybe fluoride would help it to last longer but ingesting certainly not. This is the reason it is advised against using fluoride toothpaste more than twice a day.

Go carnivorous and the mineral balance will fix itself. God gave us the beasts of the earth to eat and the mineral balance is natural if you get rid of anything that is shelf stable wrapped in a package
see if you can reverse the bariatric surgery
I started eating a carnivore diet.
Which eliminated sugar and my arthritis went away and a greta deal of other issues.
If coper regulates sugar then it indeed could cures many issues that carnivore does. Thank you for the great video I will be going down this rabbit hole.
Thank you for sharing this! Glad you enjoyed this video!
Shouldnt carnivore be providing or getting high level of copper from liver as compared to the regular eaters and vegetables like people. I believe so.. point again for meat
@@ImiChitterman in my book meat gets every point. There is "anti-nutrients" found in webster dictionary in vegetables such as Oxalates an acid that binds to minerals and blocks their absorption. If the animals are not grass fed or fed from products grown with no life in the soil there it will be lacking in nutrition. The plant drops cakes that are eaten within three seconds and pooped out by these organisms to make them available for the plant. The balance in soil is key in the "soil food web". Compost tea is the solution to putting the life into the soil or eat grass fed liver or wild caught shell fish like oysters, shrimp.
@@ImiChitterman I think Iron also
Interesting. When I don't feel well, I do an ascorbic acid flush (1000mg/1hr-2hrs) and am better same day. 🤷♂️
Don't take vitamin c unless I have to do the flush.
Thank you for sharing this!
It is confusing. I was taking high doses of vitamin c after reading the book Doctor Yourself. I don’t take as much now. Side note though I was the only one at home or work that didn’t get Covid
If soils are depleted of minerals, where did the minerals go? Plants harvested, humans eat but where do the minerals go? Excrement or when the body dies and goes back to soil? Don't the minerals have to be somewhere still on earth?

My version. The glyphosphate and such cides are bounding the minerial in the soil and thus the plants cannot get enough to convert and load.. the animals have to pick the right grass and food to ensure balance but the levels of the minerial are low because it gets stuck by the great glyphosphate aka round up..
Zinc is used in more reactions in the body than copper.of course copper is essential for some reactions. Both are important. Copper is less buffered in the body. Excess zinc is easier spelled as far as I know.
