Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How To Fix It On Your Own

Morley Robbins worked in the medical profession and was shocked how people mostly did not appear to be getting better! He then worked tirelessly researching paper after paper and he found that iron is the root cause of many diseases as it creates inflammation when it is in the wrong place in our bodies as it causes damage to our cells namely oxidative stress thus causing numerous diseases. His further research found that copper is depleted as we age and iron becomes more abundant causing damage to our body and copper, magnesium and retinol etc., are required to metabolise iron and keep it in our cells, keeping us healthy. This is a little known fact that most of the medical establishment are ignorant of and are just not trained in the fact that copper metabolises iron so it can be stored in our cells. This is a must read for anyone who would like to take control of their illness whether it be fatigue or neurodegenerative diseases. You can also download a must have manual from the internet! Plus he gives us advice on eating an Ancestral Diet which away from eating processed foods. This is a must read for anyone interested in looking after their own health!

The book is very easy to read and the topic explained in lay persons terms. The take home story is that a huge number of the enzymes in our bodies, especially those concerned with energy production in the form of ATP in our mitochondria. These cells' power houses and need need copper ions to work. If these are not available in our regular diet, it is very cheap and easy to add copper supplements and cure many forms of chronic fatigue. The symptoms of chronic fatigue are often mistaken for iron-deficiency anemia and result in the widespread use of ferrous fumarate in dietary iron supplements and multivitamin supplements containing ferrous fumarate. The author advises us to throw these away immediately because they do more harm than good by promoting the Fenton reaction, which uses ferrous (divalent) iron that generates hydrogen peroxide and the hydroxyl free radical, both of which are pro-oxidants and damage the delicate cell membranes of our mitochondria and reduces rather than increases their capacity to make ATP. The irony is that you need just a few milligrams of copper a day to cure much of your chronic fatigue. It costs just a few dollars as copper(bis) glycinate from Amazon for several months supply and is cheaper than many ferrous fumarate tablets that may actually make your fatigue worse.

I was able to implement the recommendations almost immediately thanks to Amazon. The whole food supplements made sense and I realised this book gives me the missing parts of the puzzle. My fatigue wasn't chronic, I just felt tired some of the time. Regular magnesium is key as I always feel depleted after stress. Magnesium is helping me recover a lot quicker.

I've been listening and reading to health & nutrition related topics for the better part of a decade and felt I had a pretty good grasp of what is needed to sustain a decent level of health. I recently came across Morley Robbins and his Root Cause Protocol (RCP) in the last month or so and my head is still spinning from the amount of new information that I had never heard discussed. The information itself however is not new, but thanks to the authors disciplined pursuit of knowledge and ability to connect the dots he is presenting these established yet rarely discussed concepts in a digestible format. I would highly encourage that those debating purchasing this book at least listen to his podcasts & other freely available resources before making a decision.

Wow!!! There's me sat with chronic illnesses including CF and taking vit d , c, etc, thinking I'm doing my best!!! Angry is an understatement. Now, I can start getting well by incorporating the protocol along with a carnivore diet. All vitamins binned. Since going carnivore, I have got the deepest of tans in all my 53 years. No longer pale faced and burnt. Thank you for educating me. Just shows we are never too old to learn. I'm going to read this again whilst away whilst I drink my fresh orange juice and sit in the sun. Many thanks, Morley Robbins.

A great read this book very interesting!!

This book is an absolutely must have for everyone who is interested in health and well being and discovering the true root causes for our symptoms and health challenges! There are very few who have taken the time to intensely do the research the way Morley has done it. Reading this book let me to take the Root Cause Protocol Institutes Training which was the best decision ever. The knowledge and wisdom provided by Morley and the Institute and everybody involved unmatched. I can’t recommend this book enough! Truly grateful for Morley’s work!

In the 4years that I’ve been working with functional medicine practitioners and given the huge sums of money I’ve invested, I think I’d safely say that the information contained within this book is the most valuable that I’ve ever come across. I’ve suffered from (mold induced) brain fog for a long time until recently as I’ve upped my magnesium and copper intake and also donate blood and within the space of 3-4 weeks I feel more energised, no brain fog and improved sleep. Thanks Morley. Top man. Great work

Contenu très adapté et de qualité

This is THE book. Written for both laymen and medical professionals who want to know the truth beyond their studies. Real and important data from a master researcher of information, all of which has been peer-reviewed and published (and then often largely ignored for a profit induced preference). This book sets out the why’s; the how’s; the what for’s - clearly, concisely and with your ultimate naturally good health as his goal. Health and natural nutrition has been a hobby, and in later years a necessity, to learn how to reverse and turn off inherited and western diet generated auto-immune dis-eases, and this book provides the key to the cure. The answers everyone is seeking. The pieces of the puzzle all come together here and Morley Robbins offers a solution that is easy, doable and highly effective. This is a fantastic investment in your future health - it’s not a fad, it’s facts. And it has helped solve my issues and provided answers the medical profession could not do. Highly recommended - read, question, learn, practice and thrive. Thank you for sharing your years of learning and research with us Morley, so that we might all benefit. Buy your doctor a copy too !! Thank you !

I devoured this book over a period of 2 months, oftentimes reading passages or chapters a few times to make sure I understood the concept properly. Morley does an exceptional job of explaining (in depth) the root cause of disease. In a world where disease and break down is simply expected and/or normalized, Morley makes the cause for mitrochondrial dysfunction due to an imbalance of minerals from a nutritional perspective as well as our overload of stress in our lives. The concepts are simple enough but he has the research and science to back it up. Not only is this an important read for anyone to better understand their own body and how it functions best BUT it should be mandatory reading for anyone in the health care field. Your mind will be blown but if you're willing to take in the concept and put it into practice, you will see dramatic shifts in how you feel and function. Cannot recommend this book enough.

As a medical practitioner with 15+ years of experience and specializing in longevity, genetics, and health optimization—and as a mother, daughter, and cancer survivor—I do not say this lightly: Cure Your Fatigue (Second Edition) by Morley Robbins is the most important book I have ever read on human health. In my career, I’ve sifted through thousands of studies, protocols, and theories. I’ve seen trends come and go, and I’ve watched countless patients chase answers that only left them more confused. This book is different. Morley Robbins has woven together decades of research into a framework that finally makes sense of the chronic symptoms, unexplained lab markers, and “mystery illnesses” we see every day. His work reframes fatigue not as a diagnosis, but as a signal—a mineral-driven imbalance at the very core of cellular energy. With humility, I can say that this book has reshaped the way I practice medicine and the way I understand the human body. It offers the keys to resolving health struggles that so many people are told they simply have to live with. From mineral dynamics and mitochondrial health to oxidative stress and the real story behind iron, copper, and magnesium, Morley delivers insights that are both groundbreaking and deeply practical. If you are someone who cares about your health—or the health of your patients, your family, your children, or your aging parents—this book is not optional. It is essential. Morley Robbins has given the world a roadmap that bridges science, clinical experience, and hope. I am profoundly grateful for the clarity and transformation this work provides. Quite simply, Cure Your Fatigue contains the answers and the direction we’ve been missing. It is a gift to anyone seeking true healing and lasting wellness.

"This book is a true game-changer! When I was diagnosed with what seemed to be an irreversible autoimmune condition, it came as a shock. I had always eaten organic and led a healthy lifestyle, yet suddenly, I found myself struggling to walk or even move. Reading this book, I immediately connected with Morley’s research and decided to follow his Root Cause Protocol. Six months later, I am thrilled to share that I am completely pain-free and symptom-free. I now walk six miles daily, a feat unimaginable just 18 months ago when even getting out of a chair was difficult. My energy levels are higher than ever, and I feel immense gratitude. It turned out that my autoimmune condition wasn’t a genetic fate but simply a need for balancing minerals and vitamins. This book deserves every one of its five stars.
