Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Our daughter had a low zinc/high copper but I decided to use the ala anyway. Since, her zn/copper ratio has normalized in plasma and it looks fine on a RBC test also. Has she done a hair test? or any other testing to try and confirm teh high copper? > > A friend of mine suspects she has copper poisoning, but has no idea > what supplements to take.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi . No, no official testing. She has read about the symptoms. She could probably take copper antagonist amino acids, vitamin C and certain minerals, pluss a low-copper diet for a while. Then perhaps take ALA as mercury and copper go hand in hand....or so I have read : ) > > Our daughter had a low zinc/high copper but I decided to use the ala > anyway.
