Copper is needed by every cell, every tissue, every organ in the human body. Most of the healing functions of what copper does can be directly traced to copper being essential to the functioning of copper-containing enzymes. Copper helping to bui... more »ld collagen alone makes copper a widely important function for nearly all body tissues; especially bone and muscles. Copper increases ATP for energy, which is essential for growth, recovery, healing, and feeling great. Copper is essential for nerve functioning, and especially brain functioning. We need copper for hormones and neurotransmitters. We need copper for better circulation, and the heart, lungs, liver, and every major organ, including the pancreas to prevent diabetes. We need copper for the immune system, and germ killing. Copper is non-toxic and safe at levels studied up to 20 mg/day, and likely safe at levels above that.
Copper deficiency causes a widely diverse array of problems, nearly all of which are the flip side of the copper-containing enzymes not functioning well. Athletes are especially prone to copper deficiency. A wide array of both nutrients and toxins block copper.
Iron is used in many packaged foods to "fortify" them, and iron blocks copper.
Fluoride blocks copper and most people have far more fluoride than copper in their bodies, 2600 mg fluoride compared to 72 mg copper, and it should be the other way around.
The government has conducted nearly fraudulent studies, and no further real studies, to establish both their RDA and UL for copper, and should be completely ignored until they conduct actual science and testing that can be repeated by others.
Nearly everything people die from is, at least in part, from copper deficiency.
Copper can cure the symptoms that lead people to take 49 out of the top 50 drugs, except the mineral potassium.
Copper Toxicity is a fraudulent and mistaken concept. Copper is toxic at 20,000 mg, not at 2 mg. There are no viable scientific mechanisms of action for a low level of copper toxicity.

When taking copper, start slow, and scale-up, and do not neglect the other nutrients.
I think the very long list of positive things copper does for us, is also another refutation of copper toxicity.
I think the number of diseases, most of them major, associated with copper deficiency, is another strong refutation of copper toxicity.
It is not beyond the realm of possibility the declining culture and changes in societal values are a reflection of the worsening copper deficiency among the population.
