PRACTITIONER VOICE
I encourage these women to seek alternative forms of contraception . For those who do not wish to go off the OCP for fear of pregnancy , or any other issue , it is vital they keep their zinc levels up , since the OCP will deplete zinc reserves over time , and they may need an annual prescription of Folliculinum , which can offset the side effects of the OCP without negating its contraceptive value .
What about patients with more serious side effects from xenoestrogens ?
Some patients with cancer , undergoing conventional treatment , will want advice on ways to optimise their health and minimise the likelihood of their illness recurring .
Aside from cancer , patients with endocrine disturbance will want advice . Some of these patients might be :
• mothers whose daughters are going though precocious puberty ( e . g ., early puberty at age 8 or 9 years , and are showing signs of heavy periods and weight gain
• men with benign prostatic hypertrophy
• hypothyroid patients with a clear history of xenoestrogen accumulation .
For these patients we also use Protocol 3 , a mixture of xenoestrogenic chemicals mentioned above ( Protocol 3 : Xenoestrogens 16c , 30c and 200c ) made into a homeopathic potency . This mix has Folliculinum , mixed food grade plastics ( containing BPA ), phthalates , polychlorinated biphenol , parabens , etc . We give this in ascending potencies in what the patient understands is a ‘ detox protocol ’. It generally produces symptom responses of a hormonal nature , which the patient understands as a ‘ detox '. The rationale is to use what is essentially tautopathy to remove these toxic substances . The works of practitioners such as the late Dr Tinus Smits 10 and Manfred Müller 11 provide further comment on the use of tautopathy to remove toxic substances from human tissue .
Patients should regularly check their zinc status as many will be deficient .
Common symptom expressions of copper toxicity :
• Anxiety and depression
• Fatigue
• Insomnia and night terrors
• Tics and restless limbs
• Seizures
• Brain fog
• Benign hypothyroidism
• Headaches worse at hormonal times of the month
• Exaggerated PMS
• Propensity to fungal , yeast infections
• Susceptibility to viral infections
• ADHD , Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Asperger ’ s Syndrome
• Migraines , especially hormonal
• IBS : nausea , flatulence , alternating constipation and diarrhea , as illustrated in Susan ’ s case study .

Hypothyroidism
I have seen cases of hypothyroidism driven solely by copper excess . In the Oligoscan result panel shown here ( Figure 1 ), one can easily see the copper excess and the zinc blockade . My only treatment was to prescribe a zinc supplement and giving copper chelate ( sold in Australia under the brand BioResearch as ‘ Cu Met ’ drops ), homeopathic drops for reducing the intracellular copper burden .
Other elements to consider in hypothyroidism :
• Iodine deficiency
• Selenium deficiency
• Sequelae from an acute viral infection
Beware the zinc blockade
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analyses ( HTMA ) in the case studies below demonstrate a typical high copper excretion via hair in cases clinically affected by high copper . In patients who are ‘ poor excreters ’, an initial HTMA can understate the true amount of toxic copper excess . After a course of treatment , which includes detoxification , the true burden of high copper is then excreted and seen on a subsequent HTMA .
