Each of these studies, as well as hundreds of others that I could have selected, explore the profound impact that low bioavailable copper has on energy production, metabolic functions, DNA metabolism, and proliferation of symptoms in the experimental groups, whether they be 2-legged or 4-legged creatures. Despite the wide divergence of animals being studied, the impacts are similar, strikingly similar! It turns out that all life on this planet, and especially the animals must have bioavailable copper to manage and “harness” the oxygen found on this planet.

Each of these studies also offers important findings about the impact that low bioavailable copper has on our inability to respond to metabolizing oxygen and thereby potentially generate oxidative stress. This is a very important point. There is a specific reason why I’m emphasizing this, particularly at this time on the planet.

Whether you are aware of stress or not, does not matter. In either case, once stress occurs— it makes no difference whether it is in response to something real or is due to a conscious or unconscious reaction to a “paper tiger” based on our (mis)perceptions; the stress response is the same—our bodies experience a surge of stress hormones, especially cortisol, the grand-daddy of the adrenal glands, to ensure that we have enough energy to mobilize a response to the crisis. Under the right conditions, this “fight or flight” syndrome response is supposed to subside once the danger (stress trigger), real or not, is over. At least, that was the case for most of human existence.

Even animals experience this same dynamic, but it seems that they are far better at recovering from stress than we modern-day humans are. As Robert M. Sapolsky, PhD explained in his wonderful book Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers, what’s notable is that animals in the wild are constantly faced with stress— it’s an absolute in nature. Yet, animals don’t experience the same chronic symptoms that we humans do as a result of stress. After being chased by a lion, once they escape, they are able to effortlessly calm down and take a relaxing drink.

Now why is that?

I set out to get a better handle on that, because it didn’t make sense to me. What I found lurking in the shadows were our friends and faithful companions, magnesium and copper—or their lack thereof. It turns out that there are two key stress hormones in our bodies. One of them, cortisone, is the inactive form, and the other, cortisol, is the active form. Do you know when your body is releasing these stress hormones?

No! Like using up the gasoline in your car, it’s a slow and steady drain.
