Re: copper deficiency in ASD?

[Guest guest]

Hi

Copper deficiency has meant huge, sudden, unprovoked, hard to stop

nosebleeds at our house. There are other possible symptoms, of

course, but that's what happens here. We have had to supplement a

small (RDA) amount of copper daily. I do this away from zinc and

molybdenum.

I'll try to look up what you might see re: behaviour when I have

more time, and I'll let you know what comes up, okay?

take care

I gave my #1 some zinc, and he had a major nosebleed because it caused

more copper deficiency than #1 already had.

Add copper. Reduce or eliminate supplemental zinc.

Consider adding or increasing copper-containing foods like nuts if the

individual tolerates them.

At the time I was looking for a copper supplement, the only brand at

my local health food store was Solaray. It worked well for my #1.

Now I see other brands there, so if I was looking for a brand, I would

be able to scan several ingredient lists and choose the one with the

fewest additives.
