I see on a daily basis complaints from women who have received one of these 2 contraceptives and at the same time stories of how much better they feel after they have been stopped.
Birth control pills and IUDs both increase the amount of copper in the individual’s body. This is a horrendous procedure these days mainly because women in general are much more copper toxic in this day and age than at any time in history. I don’t believe these contraceptives are remotely healthy in the first place, but they only compound upon the already growing problem of copper imbalance and copper toxicity today.
Most people today including men in general have some degree of copper imbalance. Over 95% of initial hair tests I have encountered show some degree of copper imbalance. But the question is why?
There are many reasons why copper is not balanced in people. Here are some of the main reasons.

A lack of zinc in the diet. Most diets these days are seriously depleted in zinc. Zinc and copper work together in the body a little like yin and yang, they are
like opposites but they also complement each other. In general when zinc is low in the body copper is high, taking in little zinc will generally make one copper toxic. However taking zinc supplements will not fix the problem like most people think, infact taking zinc supplements in some people will make them feel worse, that is why a proper htma test is needed to ascertain this. If you already have a htma you can check out all of your copper toxicity indicators at www.hairanalysis.report. Be aware many people get confused by thinking their copper level is low on tests when in reality they have high cellular copper, that’s why we have 27 indicators to look out for to see how severe the copper toxicity may be.
Adrenal stress. The adrenals are powerhouses of the body, however in many people today they are depleted, stressed and exhausted. Many people are actually unaware of how tired their adrenal glands are, they run around often in a state of chronic fight or flight. They may stimulate themselves with coffee, cigarettes, sugar and even emotions like anger. This keeps them going, however when their stimulants are removed they often feel the true fatigue underneath. It is important that the adrenals are in good health in order for the body to balance out copper correctly. The adrenals send signals to the liver to create copper binding proteins like ceruloplasmin. These special proteins bind to copper and allow it to be moved around the body easily. When these enzymes are not being produced optimally copper tends to accumulate in the body.
There are many other factors including but not limited to: copper piping, congenital high copper, mineral and vitamin deficiencies and more.

The problem with high copper decoupled from contraceptives is that it causes men and women to become spacy, detached, they often have skin issues, insomnia at times, fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, fears, heavy PMS symptoms, anger, aches, pains and many more symptoms. The issue with the contraceptives is that these symptoms only end up becoming worse and it’s only when they are stopped when the woman feels some relief, often rapid relief.
Drs and nurses do not really explain to people these side effects, which is a real shame because the problems are huge. More and more women everyday are waking up to the horrors of copper based contraceptives through social media and other avenues.
Balancing out copper however is not as simple as removing these contraceptives. A full nutritional balancing healing program is needed to renourish, detoxify, relax and support the body. You can sign up by emailing lewis@deephealingspace.com
