This is a continuation from the last blog post, so if you haven’t read that yet please do. Like I said last time, this information mostly relates to people in places where modern forms of farming and food production are common. Please use your own discernment!
Last time I wrote about how we have an overabundance of iron leeching out of our soils making the plants we eat have more. In addition that many of our foods are fortified with iron. That the recommended levels of iron in our diet have gone up many times. That the testing of iron in our blood does not take into account how much iron is stuck in the rest of our body and gives us no idea of what is really going on. That doctors are not educated on proper iron metabolism. That unbound iron is the greatest source of oxidative stress and inflammation in our body. That iron stuck in our cell’s lysosomes contribute greatly to lipofuscin, contributing to reduced immunity and energy levels.That iron toxicity contributes to and may even be the main cause of a great number of diseases, including the supposedly incurable ones. That also greater levels of metals in our body including iron can make you more of an antenna to EMFs thus making you more susceptible to them. That parasites love iron. That if you suffer from entity and astral parasites that it reflects what is happening to your physical body and vice versa… and so on.
You may also remember from last time that I mentioned several times about other nutrients that are needed by the body to regulate iron. In other words make sure that iron is taken to the right places and be used as it should be, because lets face it, iron IS needed in our bodies so long as it is used in the right way and in the right quantities. So let us start with the first important nutrient.
Copper!
That’s right copper. One of the lesser understood nutrients our bodies require to work properly. It is so misunderstood that many people, including doctors and alternative practitioners (though definitely not all!) actually think that copper is something you should avoid because they say it is toxic. Yet when I think back to the years I spent doing my biochemistry degree, I lost count of how many enzymes in the body require copper!
Like any nutrient, copper can be harmful if in the wrong format or in too high quantities. So putting copper filings into your food is just as bad as the iron shavings they use to “fortify” our processed foods. Please avoid taking currently available copper supplements too, as they are no better. Focusing on what we call “bio-available” sources is a must, i.e. what we naturally find in certain foods.
Copper along with several other nutrients, is one of those minerals greatly affected by acid rain and modern forms of farming. Simply put, copper levels are reduced because it is being encouraged to stay in the soils due to the increased acidity of chemicals exposed to it. This has a knock-on effect in that the foods that we would easily be able to get adequate bio-available copper from, whether it be plants or animals, have also been reduced.
What does copper do?
There are many things it does, but for the sake of simplicity I am going to briefly describe two of the more important functions:
- Copper is used by enzymes in the mitochondria of cells as part of the energy production cycle that produces ATP – the energy source of the body. All functions of the body require ATP to work and so low ATP can lead to all sorts of problems and all sorts of disease. Immune cells use a lot of ATP due to the amount of mitochondria they have inside of them.
- Copper reduces unbound iron and takes the iron to where it is needed in the body, thus reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, the root cause of many diseases. This is because copper is needed by ceruloplasmin to form ferroxidase (FOX) which regulates/chaperones iron to where it should be in the body. If you haven’t already guessed it, any time you have iron blood tests that show you are “low” in any way, it is most likely that it is copper that is actually low!
By these two functions alone, copper can greatly improve energy levels, reduce inflammation and improve the effectiveness of the immune system.
My wife as I write this is showing me other things relating to copper. Namely that low thyroid hormones and increased cholesterol levels are directly linked to low copper levels, as are people with bone issues. Useful having a naturopath wife who equally likes to learn!
The reduced oxidative stress that copper helps with, also means that you don’t “burn” up as much magnesium, also an important nutrient that has been greatly reduced in our foods and soils. Many people know how useful magnesium is in reducing fatigue, relieving stress, reducing cramps and muscular complaints etc. Fortunately magnesium is much easier to absorb in the formats commonly found in health food stores. But not many know much about how magnesium is what is lacking if there are tooth or bone problems because just as copper helps greatly in regulating iron, magnesium greatly helps in regulating calcium – a controversial subject I may talk about another time if there is the interest.
Retinol
A form of vitamin A. Yet another misunderstood nutrient. Just like other vitamins, there are many forms of vitamin A. Most vitamins I generally advise against taking because they are not in the form the body would naturally absorb and can be hard to turn into the bio-available or active form. Vitamin A supplements are definitely one of those!
Retinol is important in this discussion because it is needed by the body to move copper into ceruloplasmin to create the ferroxidase enzyme. No point having extra copper in your diet if you don’t have this!
Retinol can be made from other compounds in our diet. The most common are the carotenes, such as beta-carotene from red and orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. However, because there are a variety of different compounds the body needs and makes from carotenes, you generally need to eat a lot of these vegetables compared to foods that contain retinol itself. Another factor is that plants contain less nutrients in general compared to what our grandparents ate and that many people have trouble creating retinol from other compounds anyway. Supposedly 40% of caucasian women cannot convert beta-carotene into retinol for example.
So for most people who have health issues, it is often much better to get retinol from meats, especially organ meats and dairy products. Again, knowing what foods those animals have been eating can greatly affect the retinol levels you obtain, which is why beef liver from grass-fed cattle is recommended as the best source of retinol along with a great many other nutrients.
I know this is uncomfortable to hear, especially for vegans. We should be able to eat just plant-based foods and be healthy but our foods have been greatly impacted over the last 50 years or more. I also see a push by governments in line with agenda 21 and agenda 30 for people to eat less meat and instead eat more synthesised foods that really do not sustain us. Yet another subject for another day…
So what foods can we eat to help?
Essentially, eating foods with less iron (especially avoid anything with wheat in Western countries as they are fortified with iron – here in the UK it is law to put iron into all flours, so anything with flour in it will have iron filings in it!), avoiding supplements that contain iron, whilst upping the amount of foods that contain bio-available copper and retinol can greatly impact your health over time.
Personally as a life-time experimenter and researcher of healthy foods and a long-time vegetarian, I noticed a big improvement of energy levels, concentration, motivation and general health of my body by simply introducing more organic, clean dairy and dried beef liver tablets. In line with how the physical body and energetic bodies are interrelated, I also noticed that I was spending less time and energy maintaining my aura’s vibration.
Some research will be needed depending on where you are in the world, what products you are able to get hold of and how they are processed. If they are dairy or meat products, knowing what those animals fed on or finding ways of identifying how nutrient rich those foods are, is important. So please bear this in mind as you read the foods below!
Good sources of copper:
Beef liver, oysters, lobster, bee pollen, shiitake mushrooms, egg yolk, cocoa powder (so high percentage dark chocolate is useful woo!), squid. Nuts like brazils, cashew, hazelnuts etc so long as they are not farmed/chemically treated. Some internet sources list seeds like sesame seeds but again they can be terrible if grown on mistreated soils.
Good sources of retinol:
Beef liver, kidneys, eels, fish in general, egg yolk, butter (NOT margarine or other spreads made from plant oils!), caviar, cheeses, good quality raw/whole/organic dairy in general. Again if from an animal, making sure they are grass-fed etc is important. Often if you don’t like the taste of meat you can buy liver and other organ meats as dried capsules, like my wife and I tried.
Be careful on the internet as many foods listed as having high retinol do not actually have high retinol but other forms of vitamin A or compounds that can be used to make retinol.
If you are vegan, then you cannot get retinol directly from food and will have to use other compounds to make it in your body. Beta-carotene sources are better than the other types of carotene as it converts more readily into retinol. So colourful foods especially if red, orange or green even – sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, bell peppers etc but bear in mind that if you are low energy, you might be one of those that struggles to make retinol easily. It has been suggested in some recent research that beta-carotene supplements are toxic leading to certain cancers, so be careful with supplements!
This is just basic information to start with. I would highly advise you to look at Morley Robbins’ work if you would like more examples of things to eat and also importantly things to avoid: https://therootcauseprotocol.com/
Energetic things we can do
Though I’m sure as we evolve, we can magic our excess iron into the nutrients we require, we’re not there yet 😉
Many people with iron overload will struggle with parasites either physical ones like flukes, worms, single celled organisms etc or astral ones, most likely both. All the different ways of raising your vibration and strengthening your aura help, as it is harder for parasitic entities to hang around the higher your overall vibration and in fact they will simply dissolve/fall away from your reality as you keep going. Letting go of beliefs surrounding protection, control, being able to be harmed by others are important in this respect.
Rife frequencies can be of great benefit here. Not only those that deal with different types of parasites, but also those that are designed to work with haemachromatosis (hemochromatosis for American spelling).
In addition, energy “zappers” like the one Hulda Clarke designed or those based on her designs can be fantastic. The basic Hulda Clarka zapper I bought of ebay, worked wonders on my body some time ago. I could literally feel tingling around my wrists as some organisms were working their way out of my body into tiny little blisters. A friend of mine had all sorts of worms and skin eruptions all over his body as parasites worked their way out!
If you are really considering getting rid of parasites, then try not to just follow the energetic advice here. Working from the physical alongside the energetic works much better. Looking up the different herbs that Hulda Clarke suggested for getting rid of parasites and the time frames for taking them is very useful once you have stopped eating unhealthy foods and got the balance of iron, copper and retinol sorted out: https://drhuldaclark.org/herbal-parasite-killing-cleanse/
Giving blood
As I mentioned in the last blog, iron recycling is very efficient in the body. Trace amounts do come out in sweat and faeces but the amounts of iron many people get in their food in the West means that we are gradually accumulating more and more iron in our bodies every day.
So bleeding is the only sure way of releasing iron from our bodies. This is suspected why women tend not to suffer from certain diseases as much as men, at least during the years when they are still menstruating. However it is suggested that the small amounts of blood women release each month is very often not enough anyway, if eating a typical western diet.
I am not going to suggest that you let your own blood at home, unless you are a phlebotomist and have someone to watch over you in case you let go of too much blood and/or faint! So the best way that most people can lower their iron levels effectively without letting go of too much over the course of a year, is to simply donate blood via the blood donation services found in most countries. You also get the benefit of knowing that your blood may be helping save someone’s life 🙂
Men can happily give blood every quarter without issues though women might want to start with 2 times a year if still menstruating to see how they get on.
It can be a problem giving blood with this con-vid situation going on, as they may ask you to wear a mask, have a “negative” con-vid test result etc. Here in the UK currently they ask you to wear a mask but don’t require you to do a con-vid test. If this is an issue for you, there are pre-written documents you can find for you to legally avoid these ridiculous rules. Otherwise finding a phlebotomist/doctor/nurse who works outside the mainstream health services might be your only way.
I have not given blood yet, as I couldn’t whilst I was in Sweden without being a resident there but I am excited and curious as to how it will affect me in the long run – I always like to use myself as a guinea pig! It was perhaps useful to see first how just upping retinol and copper levels for 3 months would affect me without giving blood yet.
What else can we do?
If enough of us opt for better sources of food then it can place more pressure on farmers and food companies to make better quality food. Demand has more of an impact on things in the world than we think!
Some other ideas:
- Get to know your local farmers! They are not the enemy. Many of them do not know how they are impacting the world and in fact many of them really are trying their best. There are many people I know by-passing the food companies by buying directly from farmers and who benefit from no middle men and who’s customers benefit from better farming practices.
- Grow you own food – this is the only way of you knowing fully what your food has been exposed to. If you are a farmer, looking into alternative farming practices that benefit wildlife the soil and people’s health is important for not only the planet but our health. Looking into researchers like my good friend from New Zealand, Gwen Grelet, who lectures on this subject, can greatly benefit your farming.
- Educate your friends. They will thank you for their better health and will help in turn by encouraging more people to supply better food.
Final words
Our food and environment is constantly changing and so our food is constantly changing. This is why I advise people to do their own research into food and change it as times change and our bodies change.
I always say to try to eat foods in their natural state grown in a natural way. Supplements can help but they are not often in the correct format and even if they are, are either hard to digest or can cause problems of in too high concentrations. Natural foods, as in the true meaning of natural (wink here to food companies who use the word natural when their products clearly are not!) contain the right ingredients in the right quantities, with the correct compounds they should be digested with in order for them to work or be balanced in our bodies. Many of these ingredients we have not discovered yet or do not fully understand yet, so eating food as they should be in the wild is a surer way of guaranteeing health.
I know that I have given a lot of information recently about diet and practical things rather than looking into the energetic side but it is important. Many times I find that people with astral parasites for example continue to come to myself and other healers to remove them and wonder why they “keep coming back”. There is an energetic side we can talk about of course, but often they have not looked after the basics yet on which to build a better aura. The physical body can greatly help with that. I would not be writing about this if I didn’t think this was important for a lot of you that I come across in my work 😉
The information here and in the last blog post, is kept basic for better understanding so if you’d like to go deeper, please do. If you’d like to explore more about what to avoid and what other sources of food you can eat to help reduce iron toxicity – the main theme of the this and the last blog post, then please have a look at the root cause protocol that Morley Robbins has developed. You can also find interviews with him and other scientists covering this subject on extremehealthradio.com and mitolife radio.
