Today, we're going to talk about the toxic effects of copper. Copper toxicity is actually quite common, and people don't realize it. 

Copper toxicity symptoms:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• No focus
• Overworked adrenals

Copper works with zinc. You need copper in your body for many different things. But, when it becomes too high, it becomes toxic. 

What causes copper toxicity?

• Cookware

• Supplements
• Low stomach acid
• Zinc deficiency
• Dark chocolate
• Mushrooms
• Shellfish
• Nuts 
• Sesame seeds
• Gallbladder (missing or congested gallbladder)

What to do if you have too much copper:

• You need to avoid the things that are giving you too much copper
• You may also want to take zinc to help the ratios

This balancing act with our bodies is getting a little bit too much sometimes

I watched an interview with Morley Schafer (sp?) last year and he said you can have too much copper and too little copper at the same time. The too little copper comes from the copper not being bonded to serulian plasma (sp?) which causes an excess of unbonded copper (toxicity) in your body. Bottom line, he said we need to be taking natural vitamin C to make sure that the copper can bond. Final note, we need bonded copper to make more bonded copper, and we also need bonded copper to make bonded iron.

I added a zinc with copper supplement to my diet and the depression/anxiety started slowly building. Yesterday and today I took no supplements and started feeling better today.

Insomnia is a copper deficiency and toxicity symptom.

I had a copper iud for nearly 5 years.
Had it removed 6 days ago after it made me extremely unwell both mentally and physically.
When they removed it, it was corroded and nasty looking.
My anxiety, panic attacks and body aches are gradually now reducing. My appetite is now better and I can now go to the toilet like a normal person.

These symptoms are very vague, and can be caused by many different other diseases! In addition a copper toxicity is very rare. So please to worry that you might have copper toxicity, and contact a doctor if you have any personal questions or worries.

My husband’s father passed away from undiagnosed Wilson’s disease. My husband has been tested and didn’t have this genetic disease thank goodness.

New knowledge and a practical way of dealing with your new understanding. Thankyou, God bless; Christians pray for him.

I knew when I got the paraguard copper IUD it was horrible. I'd never had that kind of pms and other symptoms. Thank goodness I realized and got it out after a few months.

I eat dark chocolate, and I eat mushrooms, I thought that they were good for me! I believe that the copper in them has stopped my herpes simplex type 1 outbreaks, so I'll keep eating them. Like everything else, 'moderation' is the key :)

Hello Dr., could you do a video on Fluoroquinolone Toxicity from Cipro antibotic and what can help heal a person. Thank you

Morley Robbins explains copper very well in his research, Copper is the key, must be bounded properly because of the ceruloplasmin is so important, it was Iron really cause problem to most of our health.

unbound copper also can punch holes in your gut.

I went through this in real life, i can speak about this area as i learn about ceruloplasmin and put in good use.

[kimberlymensah]

Can you do a video on The effects of plastic on the body and how to get rid of it in your body?Thank you for all your great information.

Molybdenum is a big player in balancing copper toxicity

[liawo]

I'm so confused. Just been watching a video with Morley Robbins, saying we're all deficient in copper, leading to problems with iron & so on....

This man will relaly live long (Many many years)

Dr Berg have you seen that movie DARK WATERS ( based on true story)?!!! Its crazy, it matches what you say here about cookware. I knew copper pans and TEFLON were not good to cook in but this movie really gives sooo much more info on the horrible things it does to the body and how BIG GREEDY CORPORATION IS BEHIND IT!!! 🤨😟I highly recommend you and Karen go see it💞

[openheart]

I just stared taking copper supplements. For histamine problem was taking zinc all the time. I have no problems since taking copper.

I’m curious about the Ayurvedic practice of drinking water from copper vessels. Isn’t it supposed to be good for you? 🤔

[justsomeguy]

This video may give the impression that many people have excess copper or copper toxicity, when in fact such people are in the minority. From what I have read, most people are actually deficient in copper. That's due to several reasons: vitamin C is antagonistic to copper and will block its absorption if taken at the same time; zinc not only competes with copper for absorption but is usually preferentially taken up before copper; copper needs the ceruloplasmin protein produced by the adrenal glands for proper uptake and transport within the body, and many people have weak adrenals; liver problems will also affect copper uptake; stress reduces copper uptake; and copper doesn't occur in that many foods, and when it does it varies greatly in amount. All these make it tricky for most people to get enough copper.
