Kate Daley and Morley Robbins Discuss Copper and Diabetes.
Copper & Diabetes on The Root Cause Protocol.com
Diabetes is a metabolic problem and can be reversed naturally. All truth goes through three stages ...ridiculed...violently rejected...third, accepted as self-evident.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer.
The Root Cause Protocol (RCP) was developed by Morley Robbins, who transformed a career in the mainstream medical industry into a quest to learn the fundamental components of a healthy metabolism.
The RCP is the culmination of his many years of research... and works by restoring key minerals - magnesium, copper and iron - that must work together in order to optimize energy and increase vitality.

Used copies are only $3 - $12. Basically, this [ketone diet] is a low-carb diet with no restriction on fat consumption. This type of diet has proven to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism....
[Stop Autism Now!, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 231] Dr. Bruce Fife outlines three low-carb, unlimited fat [coconut oil and milk] diet plans including specific instructions and recommendations for various situations. The details regarding insulin sensitivity and resistance in Stop Autism Now are invaluable!
....coconut oil may be one of the best foods for diabetics. Glucose as well as long-chain fatty acids require insulin to enter the cells. Medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil do not need insulin. They can pass through the cell membrane and enter without it...
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 111]
....they [MCFAs or medium-chain fatty acids] can provide cells with nourishment whether insulin is present or not. When you eat coconut oil, you give your cells an energy boost. If the pancreas is not producing enough insulin or if the cells are insulin resistant, it doesn't matter, MCFAs can still feed the cells. This keeps capillaries and blood vessels alive and healthy and helps prevent atherosclerosis from developing. For this reason, coconut oil improves the circulation and cardiovascular health of diabetics.
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 112]
...Under normal conditions, our bodies burn glucose for energy...If glucose is not available, one of the only other sources of fuel it can use is ketone bodies or ketones [coconut oil is converted into ketones]....Ketones actually provide a more concentrated and effieient source of energy than glucose.......Disturbance in glucose metabolism is an underlying problem common in neurodegenerative diseases. Ketones provide an alternative - and more effective - source of energy that bypasses the glucose metabolic pathways of energy production...
[Stop Autism Now!, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 161-167]
....the MCFAs in coconut oil stimulate metabolism, thereby increasing the production of insulin and the absorption of glucose into cells. This is good news for the many diabetics who depend on daily insulin injections. Coconut oil can help reduce their dependency on insulin medication....
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 112]
....coconut oil improves circulation. It does not clog arteries but opens them up. To my knowledge coconut oil is the only thing that can cure diabetic neuropathy. And it's a harmless, natural product....Not only are MCFAs [medium chain fatty acids] in coconut oil able to feed the cells without the need of insulin, they also help improve insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and glucose tolerance...
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 112]
...When we eat foods that are converted into glucose, blood sugar levels rise....Diabetics must carefully monitor and limit the amount of high glycemic foods they eat. Coconut oil has no adverse effect on blood sugar. It has a very low glycemic index. When it is added to other foods it lowers the glycemic index of these foods.
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 111-112]
...Diabetics are counseled to eat foods with a low glycemic index. The glycemic index is an indicator of how much a food raises blood sugar levels.....Palm oil has a glycemic index of 0. It does not raise blood sugar at all. When palm oil is added to other foods, it lowers the glycemic index of these foods, making them safer for diabetics to eat...As you can see, palm oil can help improve blood circulation, protect against harmful free radicals, and normalize blood sugar and insulin levels. Anyone concerned about diabetes or blood sugar control should consider using palm oil as a part of their everyday diet.
[The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 123-124]
...One of the defining characteristics of type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance...The primary saturated fatty acids found in palm oil - palmitic, myristic and stearic acids - have been shown to stimulate the transport of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells and, therefore, reverse insulin resistance. Saturated fat, particularly from palm oil, increases delivery of glucose into cells. ....
[The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 119-122]
...The fuel our cells use is sugar, more specifically, glucose. Glucose is also called blood sugar. ...Glucose is carried in the bloodstream to all the cells in the body....Cells cannot absorb glucose or fatty acids directly from the bloodstream. They need a helper. This helper is insulin. Insulin is a hormone that unlocks the door in the cell membrane that allows glucose and fatty acids to enter...

Please see the section in Heart Health: Atherosclerosis and Cholesterol.
Neither palm oil or coconut oil have a harmful effect on cholesterol. Actually, palm oil does not even contain cholesterol. Bruce Fife provides a detailed analysis and research references in his books The Palm Oil Miracle and Coconut Cures.
The book Coconut Cures details the industry sponsored attack to falsely demonize coconut oil. ...misguided, special interest groups such as The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) joined in on the attack on saturated fats. Together these groups succeeded in demonizing all saturated fats and particularly coconut oil...What the public did not know at the time...was that there are many different types of saturated fat...Coconut oil does not have a harmful effect on cholesterol. This fact was never mentioned in the anti-saturated fat campaign sponsored by the vegetable oil industry...
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 26]
Arterial plaque is filled with hardened, sticky unsaturated fats. In truth then, unsaturated fats, and particularly polyunsatured fats [polyunsaturated vegetable oils], are the real artery-clogging fats. [The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 76].
...One of the concerns now being identified with statin use is the drug's adverse effect on the body's ability to properly regulate glucose and insulin. Evidence shows that statins increase a persons' risk of developing type 2 diabetes.....The report was based on an analysis of the major clinical studies of statins, including previously unpublished data. This study analyzed 13 studies encompassing 91,140 participants. According to the data, statin use is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes.
[Stop Autism Now!, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 153]
...CoQ10 has been shown to be essential to proper heart function...Ironically, the statin drugs used to lower blood cholesterol in heart disease patients block the biosynthesis of CoQ10...So when statin drugs block the body's production of cholesterol, they also stop production of CoQ10...
[The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 68]
...PUFAs [polyunsaturated fatty acids] on the other hand do not improve insulin transport but block it...
[The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 122]
...You can induce diabetes in animals and humans by feeding them a diet high in polyunsaturated vegetable oils or sugar or both. But you cannot induce diabetes with a high saturated fat diet. It just won't happen......
[The Palm Oil Miracle, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 122]
The book title says Alzheimers? Are Alzheimers and Diabetes related? Yes, it's all about insulin resistance.
...When you hear a doctor give a diagnosis of Alzheimers disease, you should automatically think of diabetes or, more specifically, insulin resistance - the underlying cause for both of these conditions. Those with diabetes are at higher risk of developing Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases than the general population...The relationship betwen these two conditions is so close that Alzheimers disease is now recognized as another form of diabetes.
[Stop Autism Now!, Dr. Bruce Fife, pg. 58]
...Recent studies confirm that diabetes leads to a significant cognitive decline and increases the risks of dementia and Alzheimers disease by up to 150 percent...

...I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic and immediately put on Amaryl RX. I have been looking for a ways to reverse this condition since diagnosed. I have found a world of info out there on various supplements and diet. But not from my doctors who just said

Welcome to the club
and told me to take my meds...Bottom line is this. I have been able to slowly remove myself from the RX and now control my blood sugar by diet, supplements and with coconut oil!...I do still check my blood sugar levels once or twice daily and they are as good and usually BETTER than when I was on the Amaryl RX!
..I received a call from a man in California. He introduced himself as Bill S. and told me he was a diabetic....He had read my book and was encouraged to try it. He told me that due to a lack of circulation caused by his diabetes, he had lost most of the feeling in his feet (neuropathy). For months his feet felt like dead stumps. With excitement in his voice he stated
[Coconut Cures, Bruce Fife, N.D., pg. 112]
When I began using coconut oil, my feet came alive!
