ALA - Copper Toxicity Hair Analysis

[Guest guest]

I did a hair analysis to exclude copper poisoning before starting with

ALA chelation. The hair analysis was done 4 months after the last

amalgam was removed. The analysis showed lower than average copper

levels in the hair. The levels are not extremely low just a bit lower

than the normal range.

Can I be 100% certain now that I don't suffer from copper poisoning or

are other test necessary to exclude copper toxcity?

I think the hair test is generally reliable when it indicates high

copper, but low or normal hair copper does not exclude the

possibility. Maybe you could try a low copper diet and see if

it makes a difference in how you feel.

Some people believe it is possible to have " hidden copper "

where you do have a lot of copper stored in tissues but it is

biounavailable and does not show up in the hair test. You might

want to read this article, which mentions biounavailable copper:

Copper issues usually develop with long-standing poor adrenal

function.
