Global Leadership in Copper Toxicity Support, HTMA Testing, and Mineral-Based Health Education

"Your website (coppertoxic.com) is a major contribution to understanding this epidemic health problem that has destroyed so many lives. With your passion and determination you have made yourself an expert in copper toxicity." 
~ Dr. Richard Malter, Ph.D

“I want to start off by saying how grateful I am for your assessment.  I found it to be very clear, thorough, educational etc.  To come across a healing science and a skilled practitioner who could confirm (my own beliefs and health studies) brings me such relief.  I’m so grateful. Thank you SO much." ~Nabil​

"I had my HTMA through Rick Fischer and happily recommend him to people.  Does a great report. He did an amazing website on copper toxicity and really understood some issues I was experiencing. Was so glad to find someone who really knew their stuff after previously following a path without proper guidance / support..”   ~Natalie

“I really appreciate your dedication to helping people. It's nice to have someone I can ask questions when I feel so alone and there are no doctors (that I can find ) that understand any of this."  ~ Amanda

"Credit where credit is due; I must say I thought the quality of information was excellent. Worth every penny. I think what you do is brilliant, and you clearly know your stuff very well. I admire that."

~ Steve Hawes, Functional Medicine & HTMA Consultant, BSc in Biochemistry & Nutrition

“Thanks again for all you do and for being someone I can touch base with and  learn from. I’m telling everyone how fortunate I feel to have found you!” ~Paige Rennekamp, CNHP​

“I am so excited about your report that I stayed awake last night to read it all, and woke up early eager to read it again. I appreciate your professionalism, the way you answer emails promptly, and delivered the report when you said. There is so much info, and how wonderful to have such a comprehensive plan to work with. Thanks again for all the wonderful work that you do". ~Carolyn

"If you decide to work with Rick follow the protocol to the T. I have and I feel sooo much better. I had the IUD out for 8 months and tried to supplement on my own. Nothing helped. When I started working with Rick I was literally rock bottom. I really didn’t know if it was all gonna work. I have only been on the protocol for 2 months. I feel and look sooo much better. ~Mayra

"My life was ruined from birth control that caused copper toxicity. I developed social phobia, depression, irrational, everything bothers me and weird PMS...I have lost a decade of my life BUT I have learned so much!  To get better, I’d say get a hair test done and get Rick to interpret the test and guide you into fixing your mineral deficiencies and he will help you understand why you feel awful. He helped me & the price is very very reasonable." ~Alexandria S.

"Listen to this guy!  I had my first HTMA with Rick several months back. Hair loss was one of my biggest complaints along with some crazy physical symptoms. My hair did not grow back or change simply from removing the IUD (and I waited almost 3 years). Not only has my hair been growing back with his personalized advice, but the protocol is also reversing my grey hair. ~Vanessa F

"I had barely been able to work 20 hours and take care of my kids. Now I am feeling better working 25 hours, thinking more clearly, focusing better, sleeping quite a bit better, and have more stamina.  ~Jenni S

"I would recommend this test. I was surprised by the depth of information covered for each section and was excited to see how practical the advice is! The results are presented in a very thorough, professional way and even more was included than I expected. Thank you!" ~Danielle

“Integrative Health Coaching is an amazing service to help you with your health issues that you often can't find answers to via conventional medicine. Many people suffer with so many unpleasant health issues, mental disorders, hormonal disorders, depression, intense physical or emotional pain and whatever they try doesn't seem to help. Rick is one of the top experts in HTMA in North America. His reports are extremely detailed and comprehensive. Rick doesn't settle for mediocre work, he is a perfectionist and takes his life mission very seriously. He is determined to help each of his clients to the best of his abilities and goes way beyond what you would expect from a medical professional. Rick has helped me uncover my most mysterious reasons behind my adrenal burnout, hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, muscle pains and chronic anemia and put me on a health protocol that is helping me regain my mineral imbalance and regain my health. I highly recommend Rick to anyone who cannot find the answers to their health issues. Thank you Rick for doing this work!!" ~Jasmine G.

"I would like to express a very sincere “thank you” to Rick Fischer who guided me very intelligently and rationally with my first HTMA test in 2017.  As a health practitioner, my health took a sharp and scary turn in the fall of 2017 after I had initiated my own attempt at remineralization and detoxification.

When I received my first HTMA report from Trace Elements, Inc., I broke down in tears.  They were tears of relief.  I knew that with this “map” in hand, I could find my way out of the complex situation that had arisen.  I had gone into a copper dump.  I was teetering on burnout, my calcium was so high, I was having warning signs of an impending heart attack, and my nervous system had seemingly gone “haywire”.  I felt so enthusiastic about my research on HTMA and my steady health gains after implementing the protocol suggested by Rick that I knew I needed to take more HTMA training.  

I had been completely unaware of the health implications of copper toxicity, nor did I realize that I had likely been copper toxic from birth.  The time had clearly come in my life to really start getting “under” this and getting “into" my biochemistry.  It continues to be life changing.

I’ve once again sought out Rick’s guidance for mentorship with my HTMA cases for my clients, and for myself and family members.  Working with Rick in this capacity is exposing me to his knowledge and experience and it is also helping me to integrate my background of offerings into this foundational work.  I’m most grateful to be learning from someone who is very knowledgeable and highly experienced in the field."

"I have been struggling for years with anxiety, depression, allergies, fatigue and major sinus issues. I feel I've exhausted all avenues. I've spent years going back and forth to Dr's who have little to no answers why a clean living, non smoking, young 30's female has been so sick with such low energy. I've tried therapy, anti anxiety, antidepressants, allergy specialists, naturopaths, supplements, sinus surgeries...you name it. Not one person has had a definitive answer.   I started the birth control pill at age 18 and around age 30 switched to the copper IUD.  The pill made me feel crazy and awful so I thought the IUD was the answer.  With the IUD, things took a turn for the worse and my symptoms just got worse, including brain fog, racing thoughts, and even worsening fatigue. After 1.5 years on the IUD I knew something was seriously wrong and I needed answers. 

I recently met Rick at a public speaking event. What he spoke about on stage resonated with me and sounded similar to what I had been experiencing.  We chatted after, and he seemed pretty confident that my problems stemmed from copper toxicity. He knew so much about it and everything he explained was so accurate to what I had been experiencing. I removed the copper IUD and started to feel better.  I contacted Rick and did the lab HTMA test. He was so accommodating and went out of his way to work around my schedule and explained everything so thoroughly. Within two weeks I had the results back and what do you know....it showed I have extremely high levels of copper! Having a definitive answer after so many years of not knowing what was wrong is such a huge relief.  Rick wrote a report and regimen for me to follow and took the time to walk me through it all in a way I could understand. I'm very excited to get started and I'm confident this is going to be a huge game changer for me. The fact that he knew almost right away what was wrong and was so accurate was huge for me and I feel he knows exactly what I need to do to get back on track. I would highly recommend having an HTMA test done and having Rick on your side." ~ Chelsea

"I am trying to follow your program. Taking all my supplements, eating healthy.  Overall I feel great... I feel like I am finally taking the supplements my body actually needs, my hair is all growing back. I have been telling people about your balance and restore program. :) just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for your program! It’s working!"  ~Valli.

"HTMA has really opened my eyes about so much that I want to learn as much as I can. I completed the functional diagnostic nutrition course recently which was great but I’ve always believed in mineral imbalances playing a big part in health issues but it isn’t really addressed in much detail in that training.  I’ve read so much info on your site and wish I knew about copper toxicity 20 years ago when I started having so many issues. I always said it all went downhill when I started birth control pills and now I know why!!  People might start thinking I’m crazy because I’m trying to cut all my friends and family’s hair now. Thanks again!" ~ Maryann

“The guidance provided is exceptional, I have been studying your report like the Bible, putting the dots together from my previous assessment and this. I have been tested in the past by different health practitioners that could detect somewhat the same problems but it was always addressed incompletely. My honest first thought was why I have not done this 10 years ago, and why is this approach not as widely available.  This report has so much information, every time I read it I find another gold nugget. Thank you kindly for helping me and making sure you deliver the best report…Lots of well put together information I believe is going to be life changing for me. It explains scientifically why I have the health issues and how I can control the real cause. I wish I could have had this info earlier to avoid getting here. Thank you kindly Rick" ~Gabriela
