Have Fibromyalgia? This video is for you - let’s get to the root.

In the description

The real root of fibromyalgia? It’s not just pain — it’s copper. We’ve uncovered that fibromyalgia is often driven by genetic mutations (like CBS, GAD1, GAD2) that affect how your body handles copper. The copper builds up in your blood but never makes it into your cells — leading to widespread pain, inflammation, and migraines.

Is Fibromyalgia Wilson's Disease?

In the description

🧠 “Is fibromyalgia just Wilson’s disease?” No—but it’s close. Wilson’s is extreme copper toxicity with liver failure and eye discoloration (Kayser-Fleischer rings). Fibro doesn’t go that far, but it’s often a milder copper regulation issue—genetically rooted and still painful. The low copper diet we use in our fibro protocols? It’s even better than the one Wilson’s patients get.
