" Be careful with copper--don't take too much unless you know you have a deficiency. It's a heavy metal that we only need trace amounts of and so is dangerous at high levels. It's also one of the many industrial pollutants released so some people have high levels. Zinc is its antagonist and you may need to take that with it. Since it's a trace element and our soils are depleted many people are deficient in copper, so what a mess we're in! Too high in this, too low in that, upsetting the necessary (critical, really) and natural balance of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nope. If a car weighs 4,000 poinds, then each of the four tires supports a thousand pounds. 4,000 divided by 4 equals a thousand. Tom Administrator By that math, 4000 lbs is the weight of the car. Each wheel should only have 1/4 of a ton, or 500 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nick, The human body is mostly water, carbon, calcium, potassium and a few trace elements. I should think that making sure that all the elements were present in their proper percentages and that all the elements needed to be introduced to the system to keep the body functionally optimally would be all that is necessary for good health (always taking into consideration that each body is different and may have different chemistries for that reason), unless a virus or bacterial element infected the body somehow. Isn't introducing all these elements and compounds into your system risking setting off a chemical imbalance and possible toxic reaction? At the very least, doesn't it tax the organs designed to filter out precipitated and superflous amounts of elements and compounds that would otherwise oversaturate the system? Tom Administrator Re: Re: Strychnine Chromium is also antagonistic to copper. I take 50 mg zinc gluconate daily. I've taken copper to the point of waking up with tinnitus (ringing in ears). I quickly took several hundred milligrams of zinc and over 40 grams of amino acids together. In an hour the ringing had ceased. One of the reasons I've taken it is to increase norepinephrine and to help increase the bioavailablity of oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nick, I agree with Tom about this. You have a lot of information about how all the elements work in the body, but you don't know what your own body needs and are just guessing. There's a good chance that if you are healthy and because you are young, your system is balanced. Then you would just need to eat well to get the proper nutrition. Your body can take what it needs from the food as long as you offer it good food, and it will discard the rest. When you take fracitionated supplements they act a little like drugs on the body and can cause imbalances if not needed. The body is an amazing piece of work and the balance of all the nutrients, hormones and chemicals is delicate. If you aren't well and see a good nutritionist or naturopath they can run tests to see what the levels in the elements in your body is and if there's a problem, give you supplements to correct the problem. Otherwise, concentrate on eating very well, sleeping well, excercising moderately and taking care of yourself. > > Re: Re: Strychnine > > Chromium is also antagonistic to copper.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 It sounds to me like you have read much on the topic of vitamin and mineral intake like bodybuilders do and know how they effect the body. Do you have bloodwork done regularly? I have concerns about the amounts you take, which I'm sure you read the labels, but that the manufacturers are not always right in the amounts listed on the bottles that could be dangerous. http://www.consumerlab.com/news/news_051502.asp ConsumerLab.com is a leading provider of consumer information and independent evaluations of products that affect health and nutrition. This link is one article out of many that I've read where the amount of mineral on the label did not match what was actually in the supplement. Be careful ok?
