low copper?! anyone got any advice

[Guest guest]

Hi I have been chelating now for a month on dmsa, but I have recently

been told by doctor that I have really low levels of copper in my

blood, as dmsa takes out copper would it be a good idea to try a trial

round of just ALA without dmsa???

note: I have done 3 rounds of dmsa and am now at 25mg dmsa. I have

never tried ALA.

many thanks Jim

I don't know if Cutler gives much stock to blood copper levels. What

did your hair test say for copper? He says that is an accurate indicator.

Also try doing a search for " low copper " :

http://onibasu.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=%22low+copper%22&submit=Search%21&ma\

x=20&sort=score&idxname=fdc&idxname=amc

If you add the search term +from:andrewhallcutler, it will filter the

results to just the ones from Andy:

lcutler&submit=Search%21&max=20&sort=score&idxname=am&idxname=fdc&idxname=amc

thanks for your replies, in answer to your question

I had a blood test which showed my copper levels (red blood cell

copper levels test) to be well below the reference range. I know that

dmsa does grab copper too so I am keen not to let my blood levels drop

too low, this is why I was considering a trail round of just Alpha

lipoic acid.

many thanks Jim

p.s thanks for the info about the onibasu website and the search tips

I didnt know that it was possible to narrow down search terms like

that, it is very useful to know!!! thanks
