Earlier this year I provided a "book report" to PMA members after reading "Cu-re Your Fatigue" by Morley Robbins - a book that challenged my mind and much of what I had learned in holistic nutrition. Examples include avoiding ascorbic acid as a form of Vitamin C, and stop taking the hormone - Vitamin D. So many detox from the "arm pokes" include both.
Today I joined a Zoom call - to learn more about RCP for Practitioners.
Naturopathic doctors in the on-line RCP meeting realized how their ND training was not truly in line with what the body needs. Dr Jon C., Wisconsin – is a UW graduate. As there were attendees from around the world I was happy to see another Wisconsinite in the mix. As an MD/ND he commented that he now realizes the importance of becoming electrically balanced. He understands all the blood transfusions – iron pumping, that he was trained to push– were the cause for patients, and he himself, not getting well (after an accident he was unwell for quite some time). Giving blood instead, to get rid of dysfunctional iron in the body, was key for his own recovery, and addressing mineral imbalances.
Dr. Jon goes on to state that naturopathic practitioners in his circle are not familiar with the importance of having bio-available copper in the body (many trained at highly accredited Bastyr). As far as he knows – none of the NDs in his circle, of which there are about 25, are trained in Morley Robbin’s Root Cause Protocol. (Dr. Jon just finished the accrediting course.)
Jon wrote in the comments, “If I may, I believe that Morley is a world-class academic, irrespective of licensure and what not. I have two doctorates, and his knowledge base is many times greater than mine.”
Although he appreciates the work of Dr. Zelenko (may he RIP) – Dr. Jon’s goal as a doctor is to rework the Zelenko protocol so that it incorporates the proven recoveries experienced by those who follow the RCP. For example, many of the “detox from the shot” protocols have synthetic Vitamin D (a hormone) on the list, rather than whole food Cod Liver Oil.
Another ND comments: “Metabolic syndromes – diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, adrenal fatigue…all are tied to lack of minerals and especially essential bio-available copper in the body.”
A doctor on the meeting call states, “Copper regulates sugar in the body and insulin increases with lack of bio-available copper.”
How many diabetics that you know of - are taking copper as a supplement? (It must be absorbed form to be effective.) If metabolic pathways have blockages - your body is not absorbing nutrients as it should. A Qest4 scan can help to open up these pathways.
Should You Fear Copper Toxicity?
Misinterpretation of information re: copper in the comments section:
Copper in the blood only makes up 1% of the overall copper in the body. And when it isn't attached to ceruloplasmin its attached to other proteins, so the whole copper toxicity concern is a big myth as it's only toxic if it isn't attached to a protein, but that amount is miniscule.
“If copper is not recycling it is not bio-available.”
Shopping for an Naturopathic Doctor?
Ask them if they are familiar with, trained in the Root Cause Protocol. If I were shopping for one, it would be the first question I ask. I have heard a number of clients/PMA members share how with each visit to their ND they are put on new supplements. If one supplement doesn't provide improvement, they try another the following month. One client came into my office with a grocery bag full of supplements!
Purely Living Wellness can help you get started on a path to wellness by helping to determine your root cause issues. Just maybe, you would benefit from the Root Cause Protocol. We plan to obtain Dr. Jon's contact information as his practice is located in Wisconsin.
Be well, seek wisdom, experience joy!
