Could Copper Toxicity Be at the Root of Your Chronic Fatigue, Depression and Poor Immune Function?

By now, most of us concerned with preserving health are aware of the dangers of toxic heavy metals like aluminum, cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic that we pick up from our water and food supply, as well as from the air we breath. But what we may not know is that copper can also act as a heavy metal in the system and become extremely toxic, causing everything from chronic fatigue, cancer and a range of autoimmune disorders to psychiatric issues — including bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism, among others. To make matters worse, a majority of conventional physicians and alternative medical practitioners are unaware of the extent copper toxicity is found in the general public and its far reaching effects — or how to treat it. Thankfully, a few have put the pieces together over the years and have begun to address this widespread issue. Take heart, if you’ve suffered from mystery health problems that have your doctor at a loss, copper toxicity may be the underlying reason. Here’s how to recognize it and finally heal.

Copper Deficiency and Overload

You may be thinking at this point, isn’t copper essential for human health? — and you would be absolutely correct. The problem lies when we are overexposed to copper and when we are unable to utilize it properly, as the latter causes both a deficiency and excess of the metal.

While copper plays a number of important roles in the body, like supporting energy production, female reproductive health, creation of neurotransmitters, immunity, as well as in the maintenance of healthy bones and connective tissue, copper levels frequently become imbalanced due to modern lifestyles.

We can easily become copper toxic from overexposure to the metal through eating conventionally grown produce that’s been sprayed with chemical fungicides and pesticides containing copper. We can also become imbalanced with a diet heavy in copper-rich foods — such as nuts, seeds, eggs, avocados, chocolate, potatoes, mushrooms and organ meats. Similarly, vegetarian diets tend to be high in copper and low in zinc, which can lead to an excess of the metal. Copper water pipes, swimming pools, hot tubs and copper intrauterine devices promote copper toxicity as well.
