- Description: What if the root cause of all chronic illness lies in the relationship between iron, magnesium, and copper? Morley Robbins spent decades inside the medical system, arguing that chronic disease isn't caused by germs — it's caused by mineral dysfunction at the cellular level.

I found this episode both complicated and fascinating. Complicated, because Morley Robbins dives into scientific concepts well beyond a layman's grasp—but fascinating, because once the penny dropped, I was hooked.

Morley is a former hospital executive who walked away from the system after realising it had his own diagnosis backwards.

[Root Cause Protocol | Reverse Inflammation | Morley RobbinsReverse inflammatory disease and oxidative stress by following the steps of the Root Cause Protocol, created by medical researcher, Morley Robbins.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c7/82/c7826764-1091-409a-ac4a-3cdf32a7a528/content/images/icon/cropped-rcp-icon-270x270-95a72e1a-ced6-457a-b9d3-ead3c691a4f2.png)The Root Cause Protocol![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c7/82/c7826764-1091-409a-ac4a-3cdf32a7a528/content/images/thumbnail/FB-Link-Preview-Images-30-280d5a90-5549-4e8d-a7fb-96cf00a56f4d.png)](https://therootcauseprotocol.com/?ref=jermwarfare.com)

Basically, his core argument is that chronic disease is a mineral dysfunction problem, not a germ problem, centred around:

- too little copper and magnesium to regulate iron,
- too much unregulated iron accumulating, and
- a medical system that keeps treating the downstream symptoms.

This is such an interesting angle because it goes to the absolute root cause, as per the name of his protocol.

In his conversation with me, he mentioned Antoine Béchamp's work, which sadly most people don't know about. He was a contemporary of Louis Pasteur — who was a fraud, according to a book I read called [*Béchamp or Pasteur?*](https://www.amazon.com/Bechamp-Pasteur-Chapter-History-Biology/dp/1467900125?ref=jermwarfare.com) — and essentially argued that it's not the germ that causes disease, but the terrain. The internal environment of the body — its mineral status, its cellular energy, its ability to regulate iron — determines whether you get sick, not the presence of a pathogen.

Béchamp believed that microorganisms arise from within the body when the terrain is compromised, rather than being the primary invaders from outside that Pasteur made them out to be. 

In other words, fix the terrain and the germs become irrelevant.
