Warning on supplements containing copper

I would just like to warn members on here about copper toxicity.I have recently seen a naturopath who wired me up to a Quantum Biofeedback device (which I researched well beforehand) I think it is pretty accurate and has identified that I have very high levels of copper & likely all my life or certainly since my teens.This has been at the back of my mind for some time and I have been a bit worried about copper in supplements but continued taking them.The high copper explains an awful lot both with my own chronic history and that of my immediate family - esp my mother and my sister who is delusional and psychotic.My liver and gall bladder have not been working well and I am anaemic.It has caused havoc with my hormones (high oestrogen) and irregular and heavy bleeding and explains the metallic taste I have been having and electrosensitivity symptoms.The device can rebalance the body and the bleeding of 3 weeks stopped completely in 24 hours.I believe my children also had high levels of copper when they were born.It is very hard to find multi supplements that do not contain copper and most of us have too much due to copper water pipes and tanks.I am now avoiding foods high in copper & can no longer enjoy a nice soak in the bath.I am also taking zinc and supplements to support the liver/gall bladder.Adrienne.

Adrienne-- I hate to hear about you not being able to soak in a bath,

especially when soaking in epsom salts is so healthy for us. Here is a

filter for shower with a hand-held unit combined, which can be used to fill

the bath, and removes heavy metals along with a whole slew of other

baddies. Scroll down to the shower head/handheld combo, it's $65:

Adrienne, you can take MSM (and other sulfur-containing foods and supplements)

to help you avoid retaining copper.

" While Selenium (Se)

supplements have been readily available for many years, up until the mid 90's,

Sulfur (S) requirements had to

be met mostly through dietary sources, primarily eggs, onions and garlic. This

created problems for people

with below-normal sulfur (or sulphur) levels who couldn't tolerate these foods.

With MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) entering the market, it immediately became so

much easier to deal with

medical conditions requiring larger amounts of sulfur as part of their

treatment. Both, selenium and sulfur bind

to a number of heavy, or toxic metals, with selenium being protective against

cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and

lead, while sulfur (being to a lesser degree protective of the same), is also

helpful to lower aluminum levels.

Sulfur interferes with the storage of copper, an essential trace element,

however copper levels tend to be on

the high side with many people, so this is generally a positive effect. It is

interesting that patients with normal

or below-normal copper levels rarely exhibit below-normal sulfur levels. In

fact, the benefits of sulfur-containing

supplements (Glucosamine Sulfate, MSM) on some forms of arthritis are not just a

result of their positive

effect on cartilage regeneration, but they are largely based on lowering

elevated copper levels which promote

joint degeneration, particularly - or more so - on the right side of the body.

Of course, on those rare occasions when copper is actually deficient,

sulfur-containing supplements - just

like larger amounts of Vitamin C - should not be used, as they could trigger, or

worsen existing inflammatory

conditions. In addition, individuals with a tendency for blood sugar disorders

(diabetes) should be aware of

potential negative consequences on blood sugar management when supplementing

glucosamine sulfate.

Possible adverse effects of consuming higher amounts of sulfur-containing foods

or supplements such as

glucosamine sulfate, MSM, methionine, taurine, cysteine / cystine... include

diarrhea, flatulence, or bloating,

while a very small number of patients have complained of a " stomach burning "

sensation. With sulfur being

a calcium and potassium antagonist, high supplemental intake of glucosamine

sulfate or MSM may worsen

low calcium-related disorders such as insomnia, fatigue, anxieties, or bone

loss, and they may worsen low

potassium-related cardiac, or renal / genitourinary conditions. "
