The Root Cause Protocol 101 (Video Series)

Who Is This For?

If you, or someone you love, is suffering from Autoimmune conditions such as Lyme, Hashimoto's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, PCOS, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, etc. then please continue reading...

The scientific, peer-reviewed literature from around the world -- though not well known in conventional medical circles -- is actually quite clear…

Autoimmune issues involve cellular dysfunction of some sort, and cellular dysfunction is caused by an imbalance of 3 key minerals:

1. Magnesium
2. Copper
3. Iron

INTRO: My Theory of Everything (in 2 mins)

The Root Cause Protocol 101 Video Series explains these concepts in depth, and how you can take control of your health by repairing this crucial mineral imbalance.

In a nutshell, here’s what's happening at the cellular level:

Photosynthesis (in plants) is the process of splitting water (H20) into Hydrogen & Oxygen to create energy/ATP in order for the plant to live.

Humans do the opposite: In the body, we combine Oxygen & Hydrogen to make water (H20) in order to create energy/ATP.

But that process requires Copper, and the Copper must be “bioavailable” --or, “in a usable form” -- because bioavailable Copper ensures that Iron has “chaperones” to escort it throughout the body.

Otherwise, Iron runs around like a 4-year old with a hammer wreaking havoc inside your cells…

So... how do you increase bioavailable Copper?

By following the steps of The Root Cause Protocol.

Stated slightly more scientifically: Copper makes H20 and releases ADP (in Complex IV of the Electron Transport Chain of the Mitochondria), which is a pre-cursor of energy; then ADP joins up with Magnesium (in Complex V) to create Mg-ATP, the active chemical of energy that the cells recognize and use.

(Btw, all of this technical stuff is addressed in The Root Cause Protocol 101 videos, along with citations to the peer-reviewed scientific literature.)

Bottom line: The cells are designed to create energy and to clear exhaust.

Where they get into trouble is where there is less of the former, and too much of the latter.

In other words, a healthy body needs to be able to create energy and clear exhaust. Period.

Because a mineral depleted body can't make enough energy, and it can't clear exhaust fast enough.

If you don’t resolve the root cause, your symptoms will never be fully resolved… and you’ll probably feel “exhausted” all the time.

Therefore, the steps of The Root Cause Protocol -- the steps for reversing Autoimmune conditions like Lyme, Hashimoto’s, Fibromyalgia, etc. -- are all about learning to feed your body the correct nutrients in order to balance Magnesium, Copper, and Iron -- and repair cellular dysfunction.

"Being on the Root Cause Protocol for just over 3 months has completely changed my life. i feel so good, sleep so well, have energy that i've not known since high school and am more focused, yet relaxed, than ever in my life - i sometimes feel bionic. i will turn 46 years old on friday. i feel 25. it is blowing my mind.” - Stacy La Point

Background

In 2016, Ben Edwards, MD, had a patient named Valeri.

Valeri was struggling with various health challenges including weight gain, hair loss, depression, foggy thinking, loss of focus, insomnia, feelings of overwhelm...(Valeri's full story is below.)

Much to Dr. Ben's frustration, none of his usual clinical tactics were really helping Valeri.

So Valeri turned to the internet and found the research of Morley Robbins, and a set of steps he was calling "How To Increase Ceruloplasmin"...

In this online support group with over 100,000 followers, Valeri found thousands of people reporting major improvement in various symptoms similar to her own...

So she decided to give it a try... After all, Valeri was at the end of her rope... what did she have to lose?

After several months, Valeri started to feel much better, and reported this to Dr. Ben at her next visit.

Dr. Ben is a conventionally trained medical doctor who became an "integrative practitioner" several years ago after he got tired of writing scripts and seeing little to no improvement with his patients. Dr. Ben began to implement "alternative" modalities because he was driven to find and treat a deeper level of imbalance.

So when Valeri reported improvement, Dr. Ben was naturally very intrigued -- why were these steps from some researcher on the internet helping Valeri when everything else wasn't?

Dr. Ben, the practitioner, picked up the phone and reached out Morley Robbins, the researcher, and the two set up a meeting.

What happened next was sort of magical connecting of the dots.

And that led to this The Root Cause Protocol video series.

These two men have an immense passion for the truth, and to share this research with both medical professionals and lay people alike.

Valeri's Testimonial:

"I’ve always been a runner. My story begins with that statement because I am happy to say that I am back running. I almost lost who I was and my family to copper/iron dysregulation. In trying to discover what was happening to my health, I discovered copper/iron dysregulation, the role of stress and Morley Robbins.

My symptoms began in 2012. My son had his first of many seizures while away at college. My younger son was in the middle of Jr. High stressors and my dad was dealing with prostate cancer. I was a sponsored runner and my favorite distance was 26.2 miles. The stress that my family was under was indescribable. Looking back, I’m not sure how we survived. But, I kept on running.

My symptoms included weight gain, hair loss, depression, foggy thinking, loss of focus, insomnia, feelings of overwhelm, I even quit reading! But, I kept running. In fact, I ran 15 marathons and one ultra-marathon in the years following. I could feel myself slowing down. My times reflected it. My legs felt li dead and as if they were each 100-pound weights. Before, I could run and feel great at the finish line. Now, I was growing to dread the finish line.

I went to a functional medicine doctor, who prescribed a self-care plan that was overwhelming! 32 different pills to take each day. 3 prescriptions. Stop running. Every time I spoke to the clinic, they had me do a test and add a supplement. I tested urine for 24 hours to check my hormones. I tested blood. I did ozone therapy, exercise with oxygen therapy. I did splankna. I went to a spiritual counselor. I fasted. I prayed. I did everything they asked me to do. I got worse.

The weight gain went from 3 pounds to 5 pounds to 15 pounds in one year. My eyebrows fell out. I couldn’t focus. All the while, trying to deal with my son’s seizures and my dad’s cancer. I began to think I would die of bulbar onset ALS, just like my mother did in 2004. I even noticed symptoms that she had in myself. I tracked symptoms and realized the ever-changing self-care plan from the doctor was causing me to get worse.

I stopped all the recommendations from the functional medicine doctor and ordered my own labs to confirm Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I asked for an ultrasound of my thyroid. The radiologist confirmed that I had nodules. This was a very low point in my life. I was depressed. I continued hoping and praying for my sons’ return to health and wellness. I was convinced I was slowly dying. This was the exact moment I discovered Morley and his research on Magnesium, Bio-available Copper, and Iron dysregulation and its importance in continued wellness and overall health.

In July of 2016, I began a job with a 2-hour commute. I listened to podcasts in the car and that is where I first heard Morley. It was an episode of Thyroid Nation. Everything he said made sense. Copper/iron dysregulation is a cause of thyroid problems. I could not believe my ears. Could it really be that simple? I pulled the car over at 6:30 in the morning grabbed a napkin I had in my car and wrote down magnesium, cod liver oil and vitamin C – not citric acid.

On my lunch, I investigated Morley and his Magnesium Advocacy Group. I read every link to every study regarding thyroid health that was on his website. That evening I bought magnesium, cod liver oil and whole food vitamin C. 3 days later, I slept through the night for the first time in over 20 years. I thought it was the placebo effect. I listened to every podcast that featured Morley. I read more studies. I read every book recommended by Morley. I even tried to call a few of the researchers that were cited. I finally realized this was real. This was not a placebo effect. This was truth. I called Morley and purchased HTMA consultations for myself and my sons. I was fortunate enough to be a student in his first Root Cause Protocol Consultant class. And I now see clients of my own.

I discovered the root cause of my thyroid dysfunction and realized that my sons were experiencing the same issue! Copper/iron dysregulation being expressed as seizures. Copper/iron dysregulation being expressed as anxiety. In my constant search for relief for all three of us, I discovered we all had the same issue, copper/iron dysregulation. It was also what took my mom expressing as bulbar onset ALS. This was the moment I realized I would not die at 62 of ALS, as she did. Now, I see low bioavailable copper and iron toxicity in many of my extended family members expressing as clinical depression, kidney stones, eczema, Raynaud’s Phenomena, and narcolepsy.

As an update, I truly am better. I run and enjoy every minute of it. I sleep. I’m paying it forward by helping others regain their own health as an RCP Consultant and Health Coach. My younger son is working full time, preparing for a future he now believes he will live to see. My son with seizures continues to have seizures and we are working on that daily. He continues to make improvements and we are seeing small successes. My dad is on the RCP as he keeps his cancer in check. I fully believe I would not be here without the Root Cause Protocol. Our family continues to deal with life stresses, but we can handle those stresses.

I encourage anyone experiencing any health problem to begin the RCP as best you can. Start slow, listen to the podcasts, read the posts on the FB page, and become familiar with the elements of the RCP. Even if all you can handle right now is the adrenal cocktail, begin there. The important thing is to begin!

The Root Cause Protocol is based on two core truths:

1. The body cannot create energy without Magnesium and "bioavailable" Copper.
2. All pathogens and inflammation feeds on “unbound” Iron.

That's it.

And these two pieces of truth have taken thousands of people from hopeless to thriving.

And guess what?

You can learn how to do the same thing — no matter your symptoms and diagnosis.

"I went to the doctor today and couldn't contain my excitement.

I've had x-rays, ultrasounds and enough blood tests to fill an entire person trying to get to the bottom of what the hell is wrong with me.

But after discovering the Root Cause Protocol, I've been focusing on getting my magnesium intake up, and purging unbound iron.

The swelling in my feet is gone, my leg & calf cramps are gone, my restless leg syndrome is gone, my insomnia and heart palpitations are gone. My anxiety is practically gone, I have so much more energy.

I feel 10 years younger. I'm not waking up fatigued. I feel incredible, I'm riding my horse again and I'm going to work happy!!

My doctor typed furiously as I spoke, and then sat there stunned with a big grin on her face, and told me how happy she was for me."

If you want to know "WHY", then this RCP 101 Video Series is for you.

You may be wondering WHY we're recommending that you STOP things like Vitamin D, Calcium, and Iron -- things which we’ve all heard of are supposed to be healthy for you.

And you may be wondering WHY we're recommending that you START things like Silica, Taurine, and Boron -- things you’ve probably never heard of before.

These steps were not just invented out of thin air.

Each of the STOPS and STARTS were discovered over the course of 9 years as Morley Robbins scoured through the scientific literature looking for ways to increase energy and clear exhaust.

During that time, Morley also did 4,500+ consultations with clients from around the world.

They were his inspiration for finding the best implementation process.

And that's why Morley teamed up with Dr. Ben to create this video series which walks through the scientific literature and explains the WHY behind each STOP and each START.

"I have been on The Root Protocol for 7 months.

When I started to dig dipper in researching natural protocols for Lyme healing, I came across the Root Cause Protocol (via the Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook). It has been the best thing ever!!!

Previous to finding this, I had only portions of truth that would help.

My whole life I have been told I was anemic. But now we know the truth!!

Thank God for Morley and his leadership in this group!!

I've tried every detox. Every cleanse. Been to so many doctors and naturopaths.

I prayed that God would send me to to the right path.

You cannot go wrong with the Root protocol. Your thyroid, hormones, pain, inflammation, weakness, restless legs, sleeplessness, nervousness, and more can all be helped if not cured.

Morley Robbins said it would take 6 months to feel better and 2 years to be completely well.

I am living proof. And I'm telling all of my friends and acquaintances with Lyme, Fibrogmyalgia, Chronic fatigue, Thyroid issues, Adrenal issues, to get on the root cause protocol. And now they are feeling better also.

Mandy Chadwick is responsible for getting me on this protocol. She has been an angel!

My life was not even worth living at one point. I now am exercising, getting my strength back, and now can tolerate stress!

Thank you to these incredible people who are giving so much of their valuable time and love. I cannot express how happy and thankful I am.

The Root Cause Protocol 101 video series will help you uncover why your symptoms started in the first place -- because even though symptoms vary from person to person, the fundamental, root cause for how they started is the exact same for everyone.

(I know that is hard to believe, but in my experience with over 4,500 one-on-one consults proves to me that it’s actually true -- while we have different DNA, we’re all human beings made up of cells, tissue, and organs. Think of it this way -- we all have unique fingerprints, but all fingerprints are made up of the same substance: collagen. -Morley Robbins)
