Re: Questions about copper, zinc and family diseases

[Guest guest]

I had very elevated copper and a zinc def with all pregnancies - and

post partum with all as a result. We are treating my son's zinc copper

issue at this time through The Pfeiffer Treatment Center's protocol of

vitamin supplementation, and are pleased so far with the results of

this therapy...though it is always hard know which exact thing is

working the best...as we are SCD legal foods only in our home, minus

casein, we are on valtrex and diflucan, and then the Pfeiffer vitamin

protocol. GO to www.hriptc.org or goodle Pfeiffer Treatment Center

autism, and you will find the most thorough research on this specific

issue thta is out there to my knowledge. Good luck. Di

Hi Di from Sue,

Re: your post partem depression....

One cause can also be low progesterone levels...

It can be applied naturally..in good quality creams.

(Look for at least 450 mg. per oz.)...

google Dr. Lee's books ...

for more info...if desired...

Also...

You mentioned.. that you felt great during pregnancy..

That's probably due to the fact that when one is pregnant

progesterone levels... increase about 10 fold.x.

It may be helpful to get a SALIVARY hormone test done for

Progesterone, the 3 estrogens...=estriol,estradial,and esterone,

as well as testosterone (women have it ,too ) and DHEA

and cortisol levels... .. Diagnos tech labs is a good one.

Traditional blood tests do not give accurate levels.

Dr. Ray Peat was Dr. Lee's mentor...and has a great list

of benefits of NATURAL progesterone in his book, too.

(Don't get it confused with synthetic progestins )..

but some allopathic doc's may say it is so....

Natural P. has benefits like breast cancer preventative effects

whereas synthetics are opposite.

Most of Dr. Lee's books start with

What Your Doctor May Not Have told you about --------"

IE. = Breast Cancer, Pre menopause, Menopause,etc.

a great series... but the later editions are best.

Low progesterone can also affect fetuses...

and can be a cause for miscarriages...

and other complications.

Hope that helps,

Sue
