I am so delighted to receive this review from Rebecca:

I can't recommend Mairead enough! I have struggled with anxiety my whole life and was told about EFT by a counsellor. After researching, I struggled to find any information on the practice and then came across Mairead's page so I got in touch. She arranged a phone call that evening to explain the process to me, and I am so grateful to have found her. She is so passionate, knowledgeable and understanding which made my sessions so rewarding in many ways. She has introduced me to new ways of living, which has helped to clear my brain fog and change my perception on life. I now feel like I have control over my anxiety, and it doesn't weigh me down like it used to. Thank you so much for giving me a new lease of life!

Stop #8 - Stop using synthetic forms of ascorbate/ascorbic acid and citrate/citric acid

🍊 Ascorbic acid (apo-vitamin C) is perhaps the most widely known and widely recommended nutrient in the world! As a result, in its most widely used forms (synthetic ascorbic acid and sodium and calcium ascorbate), it is also one of the MAIN CULPRITS in the epidemic of chronic fatigue and disease facing our Ascorbic acid (apo-vitamin C) is perhaps the most widely known and widely recommended nutrient in the world! As a result, in its most widely used forms (synthetic ascorbic acid and sodium and calcium ascorbate), it is also one of the MAIN CULPRITS in the epidemic of chronic fatigue and disease facing our !

🍊 In Morley Robbins book, [Cu]re: Your Fatigue, he goes into detail on some of the studies about ascorbate/ascorbic acid and citrate/citric acid.

🍊 For at least two generations, coming up on three, we've been propagandized to use synthetic vitamin C supplements while unknowingly DESTROYING our bodies' supply of ceruloplasmin and thus bioavailable copper. (Not good!)

🍊 The bottom line is that ALL synthetic forms of ascorbic acid act as TOXIC SUBSTANCES in the human body, and this fact has been known for over 70 years! (Why do not hear about this?)

🍊 As for why you should avoid both citrate and citric acid, the reason for doing so was discovered by researchers Earl Frieden and Shigemasa Osaki of Florida State University, whose investigations dating back to the mid-1960s clearly demonstrated that citrate suppresses and acts as a natural killer of ceruloplasmin!

🍊 In order to fully eliminate your intake of synthetic C, citrate and citric acid, avoid packaged foods because all three ingredients are commonly found in them! (Who knew, right? You will be surprised when you start investigating!) Also, get into the habit of reading food labels, and avoid citrate forms of minerals, including magnesium citrate.

Useful insight into zinc

🛑 Stop #4 - STOP taking zinc supplements

🧐 We know what you might be thinking: haven't we been told that zinc is really helpful for supporting health? And perhaps it has "helped" you with symptoms in the past...but did you know that zinc can have some short-term gain but with LONG-TERM consequences?! Something to think about for sure!

Zinc is involved in many important functions in the body and is frequently prescribed for immune system support, even though copper plays a much more important role in immune system function. It is often suggested for those who are labeled “copper toxic”, when the reality is that they may have plenty of copper but lack the nutrients necessary to turn the copper into its functional/bioavailable form, ceruloplasmin.
Low bioavailable copper translates to iron dysregulation, which causes oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition, iron and zinc share an absorption pathway, so when excess unbound iron is high, zinc will be low.

Rather than addressing the root cause of the stress that led to the zinc deficiency, many practitioners prescribe mega doses of zinc to reduce the copper. However, zinc supplements trigger the production of metallothionein, which binds up copper and shuts down the body’s ability to make ceruloplasmin in the liver and prevents the ferroxidase enzyme function which is vital for managing iron. Taking zinc essentially depletes the very copper that the body needs to manage iron and reduce the stress that initiated the cycle of dysfunction.

FACT: ALL facets of iron metabolism require bioavailable copper…
FACT: Efficient production of red blood cells requires bioavailable copper…
FACT: Inefficient red blood cell production creates kryptopyrroles that affect zinc and B6 status…
FACT: Zinc supplements block copper absorption…

Supplementing with zinc does nothing to correct the underlying physiology, nor does it address the true mineral deficiency. In looking at the interplay between minerals, rather than at isolated minerals such as zinc, the RCP seeks to support the body to produce more bioavailable copper in order to manage iron and eliminate iron-induced stress in order to promote a healthy metabolism. When the copperiron balance is restored, zinc will also regain its balance naturally.

Got some lovely feedback from my recent tapping client 🔥

"Hi Mairead, been wanting to message you for a wee while now. I'm sure you get massive satisfaction from hearing from your clients progress and I wanted to thank you and say that I feel that this is probably the best version of me in many, many years. I've still been doing my cooking daily, my gym routine is the best its ever been, I've become organised again in my life, sorting out things I needed to sort with the car and home. I finally started a large project which I had talked to you about, redoing my whole upstairs, I've learnt to lay my own flooring, fit my own skirting and I'm eager to learn a lot more over this current project. All the money I was wasting on alcohol is now being used for tools, cooking equipment and work to the car that was much needed. I have really turned a huge corner and I will be looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Thanks for everything and will look forward to future appointments"

Amazing story with the RCP

"My 11 year old son was diagnosed at 8 with a brain tumor. He had hydrocephalus which led to vision problems which led to a diagnosis. We were shocked. I had fed him a Weston Price/ancestral diet his whole life. I thought we were covered. But food is not enough.

Because of my own imbalances (diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and EBV in high school), my poor boy came into the world already imbalanced. He always had white spots on his nails, no matter how much zinc or red meat we gave him. He got sick more than his younger brothers, and the sickness was always drawn out. He had compromised adrenals. He lacked energy.

After his diagnosis (non cancerous tumor, by the way) we saw an ND. Unfortunately, he is very misinformed. He gave us more zinc. He put my son on D3. He cost a lot to see and the endless supplements were breaking us.
The Root Cause Protocol is SO affordable compared to what we were paying. But when you are faced with a brain tumor, and you don’t know what to do about it, what else is there to do? We saw some improvements overall, but I wasn’t satisfied. In the meantime, the stress and my own health problems were tanking me. I could only barely push myself to take care of my family. Our whole family was a mess. I was desperate.

I prayed that God would help me find a solution. I had no idea what to do and I begged for help. A friend belongs to this [Magnesium Advocacy Group] on Facebook and one day I saw the group recommended. I joined, I devoured the information. The protocol really resonated with me and I jumped in. That was nine months ago. I can’t tell you how much better I am doing, first of all. My constant anxiety is gone. I feel so much better mentally, just positive and content.

My fatigue is gently and slowly lifting. I am seeing so many positive small improvements in my own health! I have a long way to go, but I’m moving in the right direction. My son had incredibly high iron on his blood test and Morley and I both agreed that he is really dumping his toxic iron load. His body is balancing! He is gradually gaining in stamina and focus. He is sleeping really well, eating really well and doing a great job keeping up with his younger brothers. His own anxiety is a thing of the past. The whole family is experiencing a shift toward balance.

I am amazed that what seems to be such a simple protocol is this powerful! It is masterfully put together!

Stay the course everyone, we can get better!

My son’s tumor is deep in his brain and we are just watching it at this point with yearly MRI’s. Morley said that our goals for my son are that he will never need brain surgery and that the tumor will shrink. I know that this will be the case, and when that happens I will let you all know!"
