Re: red blood cell copper levels :opposite promblem :PHIL

[Guest guest]

hi phil, all, orginally i started out with low red blood cell zinc levels but

with injections they came up to normal level quickly.

While my red blood cell copper levels were low a four -five years

ago which can be a result in my case from the zinc sulfate injections

monthlyl.( drug insert warns of affect on copper levels)( unable tolerate

oral suppliments because of sensitive stomach)

with 1x week cuppoer sulfate for a month the levels came back to

normal.

then about two years ago my red blood cell copper levels went below

normal again( zinc red blood cells have remined all the time with maintenace

zinc sulfte doseages within normal range)

tried copper sulfate injections weekly for long time and my levels

kept going lower.... gave up last fall and the levels are up slightly but

remian abnorally low.( used same lab and unsure why.)

* Phil, i havent read the book but does this make any sense to you from

your understanding of copper:zinc balance... i know you arent an md but have

certain knowledge and experiance with this.

many mds dont use/unsure value of red blood cell mineral levels.(my md

stopped taking them awhile back)adds up price wise the tests.

( also have red blood cell: calcium: molybdenum at zero long

standing promblem) I havent met anyone yet who has this nor know why or how

to treat it!! appreciate all information.

I hope I make sense with this but the mind is really slow today. The book

mentions that the blood levels of copper will not necessarily correspond to the

tissue level. Thus you could have high

levels in the tissue where it's harmful but inadequate levels in the

bloodstream. I would think this could be possible with our minerals. My

frustration with many physicians is that they will not

even consider that the two could be different. The blood tests are viewed as

gospel truth. As to why calcium and molybdenum are at zero I wouldn't even be

able to hazard a guess .
