HOW NUTRITIONAL BALANCING
REDUCES EXCESS COPPER
AND BALANCE COPPER METABOLISM
The key is to use a number of methods simultaneously. This does not mean taking piles of pills or strange diets, however. It can be done easily and rather inexpensively and without a lot of fuss.
THE METHODS USED IN NUTRITIONAL BALANCING TO BALANCE COPPER INCLUDE:
1. Reduce Exposure to Sources of Copper.
Common sources include copper intra-uterine devices or IUDs, swimming in pools, vegetarian diets and high copper foods such as nuts, seeds, and avocado.
2. Diet is Critical.
The diet must contain seventy to eighty percent cooked vegetables, not raw ones. Also needed is healthful animal protein daily, and some whole grain rice if this can be tolerated.
For a recommended diet, we recommend a slow or fast oxidizer eating plan, which can be found in Nine Servings of Vegetables. This diet is appropriate for most of those with copper imbalance, though not all.
Equally important, the diet must be as low as possible in sweets, fruits and sugars as possible. These foods, along with all stimulants, stress the adrenal glands and tend to make copper imbalance worse.
Stimulants include sugars, caffeine and food additives such as MSG, aspartame and other excitotoxins in the diet. Many other food chemicals and additives, however, also stress the body and are not helpful for copper imbalance.
3. Lifestyle Modification.
Most people with copper imbalance are very sensitive emotionally. Many also need to slow down, relax more and let go of anger and resentments.
Some also need to make changes in their relationships, location, work and other important aspects of their lives so that they “live their truth” to a greater degree. Living a lie can be an important problem, in fact, with copper imbalance.
Reducing Fear & Stress.
This is often very helpful and necessary to balance copper. Methods range from a change in location or work to prayers, more rest and other changes.
4. Carefully Chosen Nutritional Supplements Are Extremely Important For Adrenal Gland Restoration And to Balance Copper.
These must be determined by the use of a hair mineral analysis, in our view. They must always include a powerful digestive aid, a multiple nutrient product for one’s oxidation type, supplementary vitamins and minerals as indicated by the test, kelp and perhaps a few other simple supplements to support the body properly.
5. Detoxification Procedures.
These are not always needed, but can be most helpful. Copper imbalance responds beautifully to the use of coffee enemas and the use of a near infrared lamp sauna. These may be absolutely essential for those with emotional problems connected to their copper imbalance.
Other methods of detoxification are less effective, in our experience. These include cleansing diets, foot baths, clay packs and other methods which can make the copper problem worse.
