Book Description
Although I Cu Copper is largely about a personal struggle with depression and its stigma, it is simultaneously about a 15-year excursion to find an elusive cause that could secretly be harming many women. With the help of her journal entries, Deb recounts each battle with a visceral urgency and effortlessly blends it with the discovery of the science behind it. I Cu Copper is more than one woman's journey. It could hold the key to the cause of many women's (and some men's) depression, anxiety and fatigue.Opening with the aftermath in the hospital of Deb's attempted suicide, the reader will know that she does not intend to hold anything back. As painful as it is to remember, she bravely recounts her spiral into depression including the heart-wrenching decision that caused her to abort a baby she really wanted.We are introduced to Deb before this depression descended: a woman nicknamed "Smiley" by her boss. The book follows her through a myriad of attempts to treat it including psychotherapy, antidepressants, and diet. As she pins hopes on each one, they all turn on her, sending her into a worsening feeling of failure. We watch as she begins to blame herself and takes on a deep shame. And yet, there is a small voice inside that leads her to keep searching for a cause.

Author: Morley Robbins
Publisher: Gatekeeper Press
ISBN: 1662910290
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The leading cause of death on Planet Earth is Metabolic Syndrome. Some 40% of all Earthlings now suffer from this condition which covers the gamut of Heart Disease, Cancer, Neurodegeneration, Liver disease, and PCOS. What is worth knowing is that ALL of these and related conditions start with Fatigue, known in scientific circles as "energy deficiency." 40% of the Earth's population has a formal clinical diagnosis that their mitochondria cannot make adequate levels of energy. [Cu]re Fatigue is a book devoted to educating the masses and their doctors exactly how and why this is happening. Our mitochondria make energy by a series of enzymes to work synergistically to create ATP, the cellular currency of energy. These mitochondrial enzyme reactions rely on minerals that are easily lost to stress. This book explains these concepts, how these challenges can be overcome and introduces the reader to a simple, proven Root Cause Protocol that is designed to generate more energy and end fatigue. This book is designed for those seeking the truth in human metabolism and those wanting to take back control of their health. It is one part textbook and one part user's guide based on a decade of research and client experience.

Copper in Drinking Water
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309172209
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
The safety of the nation's drinking water must be maintained to ensure the health of the public. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for regulating the levels of substances in the drinking water supply. Copper can leach into drinking water from the pipes in the distribution system, and the allowable levels are regulated by the EPA. The regulation of copper, however, is complicated by the fact that it is both necessary to the normal functioning of the body and toxic to the body at too high a level. The National Research Council was requested to form a committee to review the scientific validity of the EPA's maximum contaminant level goal for copper in drinking water. Copper in Drinking Water outlines the findings of the committee's review. The book provides a review of the toxicity of copper as well as a discussion of the essential nature of this metal. The risks posed by both short-term and long-term exposure to copper are characterized, and the implications for public health are discussed. This book is a valuable reference for individuals involved in the regulation of water supplies and individuals interested in issues surrounding this metal.

Book Description
Discover how to rejuvenate your skin and hair using the revolutionary 21st century technology of copper peptides. Unlike other ingredients, which work on skin's surface only, copper peptides reset your skin's genes to youth and health. This book is a comprehensive guide to copper peptides, written by a renowned biochemist Dr. Pickart, the discoverer of the original copper-peptide GHK-Cu. This is a detailed, easy-to-read and in-depth work on the use of copper peptides. The book provides a wealth of science-based information, plus scientific references to give you all the tools and knowledge you'll need to start using copper peptides. It includes information on everything from anatomy of the skin to step-by-step instructions. With easy-to-follow directions, you'll be able to address needs of aging skin, oily and acne-prone skin, or dry and sensitive skin, and more! You will find scientifically sound information on scars and stretch marks, brittle nails, thinning hair, sun care, and beauty nutrition. Considering growing popularity of copper peptide products, his book is a must-have for those who care about their skin's health and beauty. "Not all copper-peptides are equal. Some of them can damage your skin," warns Dr. Pickart. Choosing the right copper peptide products, combining copper-peptides with other scientifically proven skin remedies, seeing through false advertising, preventing skin damage and accelerated aging, as well as helping skin rebuild and rejuvenate itself - those are just a few topics addressed in the book. Also included in the new book are the surprising and unexpected health protective actions of GHK (anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, anti-pain, anti-COPD, anti-inflammatory, stem cell activation, etc.) reported by many universities around the world. After completing this book, you won't just put it away. You will use it again and again as a great reference in your beauty endeavors. Dr. Pickart, Ph.D. has been studying copper peptides for over 40 years. He is truly passionate about sharing the sound scientific approach to skin rejuvenation and making this invaluable information available to everyone. "There never has been a better time to fight aging and stay young," says Dr. Pickart, "The copper-peptide molecules not only have the power to shift your skin's biology from aging to rejuvenation, they do it in a safe and gentle way. With copper peptides we can tune-up skin's DNA, just like a piano. This is a rejuvenating technology of the future. What's more, it is a very affordable and safe approach. This should be available to everyone." SKIN, HAIR, AND MANY DISEASES OF AGING In many controlled, peer-reviewed published articles, GHK was found to: - Tighten loose skin and thicken older skin - Repair protective skin barrier proteins - Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity - Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and overall appearance - Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions - Improve overall appearance - Protect skin cells from UV radiation - Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size ANTI-CANCER ACTIONS - GHK topped 1,309 genes as the best Broad Institute computer recommended bioactive for the treatment of human metastatic colon cancer. - GHK, at 1 nanomolar, resets the programmed cell death system in human cancer cells (human neuroblastoma, leukemia, and breast cancer). - GHK inhibits NFKB p65 which is believed to promote cancer growth. - Repair damaged DNA at cellular level at 1 nanomolar (47 genes UP, 5 genes down). - GHK-copper induces cell differentiation. - Resets 84 genes to growth inhibition or cancer inhibition.

Biochemistry of Copper
Author: Maria C. Linder
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475794320
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
Copper has long been known as essential to living systems, in part through its fundamental role in electron transport and respiration. Over the years into the present, its involvement in an ever increasing number of processes in all kinds of organisms has become apparent, and new and exciting vistas of its roles in such areas as the central nervous system, and in humoral functions, are appearing on the horizon. Although the biochemistry of this element has not been studied nearly as much as that of many others, a for midable amount of work has been carried out. It has thus been a challenge to produce a summary of what has been found that provides both breadth and depth. My goal has been to try to be as comprehensive as possible, within some limitations. I have tried to provide basic information and basic data that should continue to be useful for a long time. The goal has also been to interpret where we currently stand in our knowledge of the structure, function, regulation, and metabolism of Cu-dependent processes and sub stances, especially proteins. Thus, I have tried to make this a source book for historic as well as current information on all aspects of copper bio chemistry, and a summary of our current knowledge of copper-dependent proteins and processes. Most of the research on copper has been carried out on vertebrates, especially mammals. This has played a role in the organization of the book.

Copper Interconnect Technology
Author: Tapan Gupta
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441900764
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
Since overall circuit performance has depended primarily on transistor properties, previous efforts to enhance circuit and system speed were focused on transistors as well. During the last decade, however, the parasitic resistance, capacitance, and inductance associated with interconnections began to influence circuit performance and will be the primary factors in the evolution of nanoscale ULSI technology. Because metallic conductivity and resistance to electromigration of bulk copper (Cu) are better than aluminum, use of copper and low-k materials is now prevalent in the international microelectronics industry. As the feature size of the Cu-lines forming interconnects is scaled, resistivity of the lines increases. At the same time electromigration and stress-induced voids due to increased current density become significant reliability issues. Although copper/low-k technology has become fairly mature, there is no single book available on the promise and challenges of these next-generation technologies. In this book, a leader in the field describes advanced laser systems with lower radiation wavelengths, photolithography materials, and mathematical modeling approaches to address the challenges of Cu-interconnect technology.
