Copper

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim,

> Anybody know anything about how to get rid of copper? Or, its effects?

They could tell you this on the metals list. The only problem is high

volume e-mail. I will look and see if I can find discussion on it.

DMSA will remove copper and a number of the other heavy metals.

Noel.

Sapere Aude: Dare to be wise.

All truth goes through three stages.

First it is ridiculed

Then it is violently opposed

Finally it is accepted as self evident.

We see this fairly frequently, I have had good luck additing 2-4 mg of elemental Copper (usually from sulfate or gluconate). The iron may be disproportional -- she's getting about 100 grams of elemental iron, which is necessary. Also check the MVI, ironically some don't contain copper because it decreases shelf life. Finally, be sure her calcium supplement doesn't have high levels of zinc -- it is frequently added to plus formulations for bone health.

We have a patient with low copper (55, normal at 75) at just over a year s/p bypass. Experiencing no unusual symptoms. She is taking a good MVI, Calcium, D, B1, B12, 65mg iron, Ocuvite, flaxseed, and omega -3. No extra zinc, vitamin C, or other supplement like Airborne or Emegen-C that may inhibit copper absorbtion. Her typical intake includes beans, cheese, eggs, and chicken or beef, fruit. One Diet Coke and Fresca each day. Any ideas why her copper would be low and how concerned should we be?Thanks.

Copper and zinc need to be monitored as they oppose each other. Can't take them

together. Taking too much of one will make you loose too much of the other.

With CFS it is common to have too little zinc, but copper can be quite tricky.

Good article on this:

Good job on recovery of energy.
