Was: FEEDING your skin, Now: Aluminum + Copper

[Guest guest]

I had a hair analysis done recently and it showed that I was a bit

high on aluminum.

I have never cooked in aluminum and haven't used antiperspirant for

years. So what is the source???

I learned at the WAP conference last year that malic acid (found in

apples) detoxes aluminum. So it's the old apple a day for me!

P.S. A fairly recent SCIO showed I was low on copper. The hair

analysis said I was high on copper. The symptoms of copper deficiency

are very similar to those of copper toxicity! So which is it? I did

half-heartedly supplement with a few (maybe 3-5 at the most over the

course of several weeks) 2mg capsules, but I just don't feel this

would take me from one extreme to another. Any thoughts? Pool guy,

could I have excess copper in my hair (or body) from swimming in my pool?
