What is a low copper diet and why would you need this? A low copper diet is something that Dr. Perer developed to help his fibromyalgia patients. Many of our foods and many of our different supplementary foods and supplements themselves are packed full of copper.
Avocados, guacamole is one of the most common toppings that people use in many different dishes. But guess what? Avocados are a superfood, packed full of many nutrients and many minerals, but they're also packed full of carb, packed full of copper.
A lot of people eat a lot of these different superfoods, kale, spinach, all these things that are supposed to be very healthy for you, but unknowingly, you're increasing your copper levels by only eating all the different nuts and seeds. All of these things are packed full of copper, and we need copper. We
definitely need copper within our diets for many things to function within our cells and throughout our body. But if you have certain genetics, you're going to have a copper overload. This isn't Wilson's disease, but it is a buildup of copper throughout your body,
creating tender points and creating issues all around. So, you have to learn how to support the copper metabolism in your body. That means going on a low copper diet is your first and easiest way to start to process. If you can
severely reduce the intake of copper in your diet, then your body starts to get a chance to process all the copper that it already has that's built up throughout your body. So that's always our first step with any of our fibromyalgia patients is to start a low copper diet and just see how you do. If
your symptoms begin to reduce almost immediately, if not within the first few weeks to a month, then you will know that this is the solution, that this is the path you need to be on. And then that's why we created the supplements that help the proteins function in your body that process copper. Copper balance
is designed exactly for that. It provides the minerals and the other amino acids that are needed for metallionine and for cerillopplasmine to function. If you have the genes around it, the gad gene CBS gene snips, then your copper, then your ceruoplasine and
metallithane are not going to function correctly. You need copper balance with its malibdinum and boron and zinc and B6 to function correctly as well as glutathione. You have to have glutathione to help detox from that copper. Your metallionines and
cerillopplasmine don't work without glutathione as well. Once you have all this in place, once you're doing the low copper diet and you're on these supplements, then your body is processing copper the way it was always meant to and your pain symptoms begin to disappear. This is the treatment for
fibromyalgia. Make sure to check out the Facebook page end fibromyalgia with natural options to get a more in-depth look and support group around doing these things. You won't be disappointed.
