The Complete Copper Toxicity Handbook: How a common copper imbalance could be impacting your health, energy, and mood... ...and how to address it!

I've been following the research on copper toxicity for 20+ years and ordered this book for my copper toxicity “library". I can honestly say this book is one of the best and most well-referenced resources in explaining how and why copper toxicity is so pervasive nowadays, how copper silently causes or contributes to countless health issues, and what we can do to mitigate its insidious effects. It’s something everyone should be aware of, given our unavoidable exposure to copper in air, water and food, and how stress, nutrient deficiencies and other toxins make it difficult to properly manage copper's metabolism and its elimination. The end result is a body that is both copper toxic and copper deficient at the same time.Poorly regulated copper is frequently a culprit in MCAS, histamine intolerance, estrogen dominance, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression, ADHD, sulfur intolerance, candida, liver disease, anemia, insulin resistance, cancer and neurodegeneration. Unfortunately these conditions are rampant nowadays, and all too often readily attributed to “bad genes”. And thus begins the predictable regimen of endless drugs or supplements to try to compensate for the “genetic defect”, without ever first considering the very real probability of a copper problem.This book is a must read for people looking to understand how an essential trace mineral can accumulate and become toxic (just like the dreaded mercury!) while silently wreaking havoc on their physical, emotional and mental health.

Great book by Rick Fischer. Wealth of knowledge on the subject. If only conventional doctors would take the time to understand how this condition affects people, our society wouldn't be so sick this day and age. I also recommend looking into Rick's Mineral Mastery course online. Both the book and course help make sense of this complex issue. I highly recommend.-Kristen M.

My wife experienced a dramatic mental psychosis during the last month of her life after inserting a Copper IUD. The timeline of her cognitive decline aligned perfectly with the insertion of the IUD. This caused me to research connections between Copper IUDs and mental health, and I discovered many articles, podcasts, and social media support groups full of women with similar stories. I contacted Mr. Fisher, who helped me perform an HMTA test on her hair. The results showed extreme levels of Copper as well as other elevated levels of trace minerals that point to Copper Toxicity.

I received this book as a gift. I receive no monetary benefit for writing this review. Instead, I use my time here to write and help others who need to recover their health as I have had to do. To maintain health, I have accessed the professional services of the author of this book and, also, routinely use the research in this handbook as a tool for mineral balance. For me, mineral balance is foundational as it reminds me of how I need mineral balance in the soil for plants to grow. I have seen the results over many years. When I started with this tool, I saw wild graph fluctuations in both minerals and heavy metals. At the time, I had an incredible amount of stress in my life and balancing the minerals kept me strong enough to get through the life crisis.I had high copper and had to bring the levels into a healthy range. In a healthy range, symptoms subside. It has been fascinating to learn how imbalance affects both physical and mental health. If more people knew what correcting these imbalances can do, there would be less anxiety, depression, burnout, mind racing, emotional numbness, rage, cancer, etc. To benefit, we have to be willing to change our diets and reduce stress rather than pop a pill.The author of this book, Rick Fischer, is highly respected in the work he does. He is known internationally for supporting this scientific research and for training about mineral balance. He has assisted thousands of clients and has the most comprehensive website on copper toxicity I’ve seen. Thus, I value the opportunity to be guided by Rick because as he is highly skilled with knowing the complexity of using this tool while recommending solutions. Dr. Richard Malter, PhD (who writes the foreword to this book) used this tool in his private practice as a psychologist. He did so because he knows how both mineral and heavy metal imbalance affect emotion and personality.Personally, I have tried both conventional and holistic healthcare. Both have value at certain times in our lives. At the same time, I did not make progress with reducing symptoms until I focused on mineral balance. For me, heavy metals were the major missing ingredient that nearly all (one mentioned mercury) healthcare practitioners never mentioned.I hope this review is not censored just because it promotes natural healing. High copper often affects females more than males because estrogen raises copper. High copper is then like a poison which upsets balance in the entire rest of the body. I do not want to see my children and grandchildren suffer as I did. High copper affects all of us, including males, as toxicity is passed to an unborn fetus.As both a mental health practitioner and in my personal life, I have seen an epidemic of abusive relationships. We are desperately in need of health and balance in relationships. The author of this book works out of love for a woman he loved but whose health was utterly devastated by severe mineral imbalance. My hope is that Rick, his research and solutions become a guiding light to restore health, compassion and sanity to our lives.

Rick is such a an expert in this field- with incredible research and support behind all of this. It’s so in depth and I’m so thankful for his research and incredible work to share with us.

I'm looking for information on copper toxicity, and this book was a big wad of bunk. For $25, too! Incomplete and inaccurate information that will lead most people down rabbit holes that end up nowhere. The search for better information than what I already have continues.

It is both courageous and ground breaking. Rick Fischer challenges the conventional approach to optimizing nutrition and health. It's a must read for any woman on birth control and their partners. The significance of this information reaching the mainstream collective consciousness is of the utmost importance in saving lives. I highly recommend this book based on the fact that it's been deeply researched and scientifically backed by hundreds of references and yet an easy read for the lay person.
