The American diet is incredibly high in copper. Nuts, peanut butter, avocados, arugula, on and on we go. It's everything has high copper in it. We're just not most of us aren't genetically capable handling that much. If you tell a a fibromyalgia patient or your mom or

0:18

your friend or cousin, get on a low copper diet, they'll improve 80%. So, American diet plus NAT 2 SNIPS plus glutathione snips plus MTH of our SNIPS equals fibromyalgia. I have a cohort of 7,000 patients and fibromyalgia with

0:35

natural options. My Facebook page on this go look at it and they get better. They go from bedridden in agony and pain. They get on a low copper diet. It's a copper toxicity issue is what it is because of those snips. That too causes ceroplasma dysfunction. Well,

0:52

cerillopplasm is how you move copper around and zinc around in your body. Nat 2 snips because NAT two you need boron, malinum, stuff like that, B6, all that for it. We figured that out after we've gotten a patent on our copper balance

1:07

which has all that in there. This is just really a serial plasma support product for the people that have NAT 2. They suddenly get better with their fibro. And we get people who've gone from a level 10 or like my wife said she had a 14 for her pain because we'd been

1:23

married for a while and she told me she had fibro. I was shocked. I'm I'm an MD and most MDs, please excuse my French, we're dicks. I mean, we're we're kind of snippy and mean and we think everyone's got a drug addiction problem, stuff like that. So, that was my thought on fibromyalgia. She took ibuprofen

1:39

occasionally, but apparently she took a lot of it. And I swore I tried to figure out what caused it. Naturopaths had figured it out. They figured out they give people malibdinum or boron, they got better. They couldn't figure out why they got better, but they knew they did get better. And I'm the one who went,

1:55

why does that make them better? And then I realized when I kept seeing that two problems come up on all these fibromyalgia patients, it's the boron and the malidum and the B6 and a bunch of other different things that are in our copper balance that that cause your cerebral plasma to be dysfunctional. So

2:12

you can't move copper into and out of your cells. Also the CMA or the spectra cell kept coming up with copper defi deficiencies on an intracellular basis. Why was that? And they'd have super high serum levels of copper. Why would they be low inside their cell yet super high

2:29

outside their cell? Finally, I figured out it's the ceru plasmine. Certo plasma was not transporting the copper into and out of the cells like it
