“The greatest source of Stress are the feelings of helplessness & hopelessness...” (Rick Malter, PhD)

Morley Robbins did comment on ‘The dynamic of Copper dysregulation caused by chronic Stress’ and its relationship to disease. - Enjoy & learn! :)

“...o "Stress!" CAUSES Loss of Mg, Zn, & B-Vitamins...
o When "Stress!" is chronic, the "Stress!" Hormones build, CAUSING Liver to STOP making Ceruloplasmin (Cp), which changes Copper's status...
o The greatest source of "Stress!" are the feelings of "helplessness" & "hopelessness..." (Rick Malter, PhD)
o The enzyme to MAKE Progesterone requires Zinc...
o The enzyme to MAKE Estrogen requires Copper...
o The mineral that KEEPS Zinc & Copper in proper balance is Mg, with the assistance of B6... (Adolph Butenandt, PhD, 1939 Nobel)
o ALL 4 forms of PMS are CAUSED by Mg & B6 deficiencies... (Guy Abraham, MD, FACOG)
o Where a c-=====lot of women get into trouble is that their doctor NEVER told them that Birth Control Pills CAUSE Mg deficiency and a build up of excess, unbound Copper...
o Also, unbound Copper is VERY toxic due to its oxidative potency to MAKE •OH radicals; AND the lack of bound Cu undermines the ability to make Anti-Oxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GSH)...
o Estrogen is MTHR NATURE'S back-up "anti-oxidant" when sufficient Cp can NOT be made... Excess, unbound Cu will facilitate an increase in Estrogen...
o In my world, the MINERAL comes first!... Yes, there are Xenoestrogens in the environment, but a Copper build-up is FOLLOWED by excess Estrogen -- NOT the other way around...
o A "popular" bad guy to "cause" loss of Zn & B6 is Pyroluria...
o Truth be known, Kryptopyrroles occur when insufficient, bound Copper is present to make Hemoglobin -- it is an ENTIRELY Cu-dependent process... Again, increased Oxidative "Stress!" contributes mightily to this issue...
o Another pervasive toxin that disrupts Mg, Zn, & Cu status is Mercury Toxicity...

As for the DAO elevation during pregnancy, I did not know that... But both enzymes to breakdown Histamines, DAO and HNMT, require Mg, Cu & B6 to work properly. That notable increase in DAO would account for why women get so minerally DEPLETED during pregnancy...

Yes, I agree that the dynamics of Copper dysregulation are much harder on women... but many of those reasons is the TOTAL LACK OF AWARENESS that "Stress!" CAUSES mineral loss... as noted ...”
