Farming, hyper boosted with NPK fertilizer, has stripped all trace elements from the soil, making mineral supplements absolutely necessary. UN’s Codex Alimentarius is planning to privatize minerals, putting them beyond reach of the poor masses, fulfilling the depopulative agenda [url]http://zombietime.com/john_holdren[/url]
My interest in the dietary copper began after I read Stephan Guyenet’s article Copper and Cardiovascular Disease, in which he showed that copper restriction has been able to cause heart disease to cows, pigs and humans.
Later, Paul Jaminet published his article Micronutrient Deficiencies: … in which he mentioned that copper deficiency can also cause low thyroid hormone levels. Because I knew about the association between thyroid hormones and heart disease, I found the article interesting.
I also happened to find two epidemiological studies, in which higher intake of copper was associated with five-fold lower risk (RR 0.19) of metabolic syndrome[1] and three-fold lower risk of lung cancer.
…both thyroid hormone and near-infrared light have one common factor in the mechanism how they improve health. They both increase the function of the copper-containing mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase.
The amount of copper in the soil has decreased, and therefore foods contain quite low amounts of copper nowadays. According to a British study, the copper content of food supply has decreased by 76 per cent since the 40’s.
Plant-based “whole food diet” might provide more copper than an usual diet[5], but the overwhelmingly best source of copper is beef liver (14mg/100g).
“Copper deficiency is the only nutritional insult that has been shown to produce abnormal electrocardiograms, glucose intolerance, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, hyperuricemia, injury by free radicals, and thrombosis in animals, and to which male individuals respond differently than female individuals. More than 31 men and women have responded to diets low in copper with potentially harmful changes in lipids, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, and electrocardiograms. Copper in these daily diets ranged from 0.65 to 1.02 mg, amounts readily available to the general population.”
Even modest copper reductions have been able to cause problematic changes in subjects’ cholesterol levels, EKG, blood pressure[6] and glucose tolerance.[7]
I’ve been writing about the important health effects of near-infrared light and thyroid hormones. Both of these work by affecting the same copper-containing enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase. Lack of dietary copper can lead to lower concentrations of this enzyme.[36,37] I think that lack of cytochrome oxidase could be an important reason why copper restriction causes so many kinds of problems.
When Klevay argued that copper deficiency is the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease, he cited approximately ten scientific articles showing that people with Alzheimer’s disease have decreased function of cytochrome c oxidase.
