Re: B6 and Dreaming (was Tablets) Copper

[Guest guest]

I am in the group that would guess copper to be deficient in most

American diets. I have copper tablets, though prefer to obtian my

copper through liquid chlorophyll. Horses in America are also known

to be copper deficient, so after testing mine (specifying the extra

blood panel) I now supplement them with copper too. Dr. Eleanor

Kellon DVM, has very good equine nutritional books & articles out that

do address this very subject.

In this day & age, I really do not know anyone with copper pipes in

their home. Recall, many had them taken out specifically for the

joints were put together with a leaded solder. Also, all the new

homes I have seen built for years use PVC for water lines.

Everyone I know has copper - although you'r right, I don;t remember

seeing copper recently in new houses. Our pipes are copper, done

ten years ago. Our waste pipes are cast iron and PVC.

The good thing about metals is that they get a mineral build-up

inside that seals off the metal from water contact - smooth, glassy

deposits, most I've seen about 1/8 inch thick, almost a pipe within

a pipe. I'm not sure, but I think the weak electrical current in

copper has something to do with it. So the best thing to do with

old copper, even possibly with lead solder, is to leave it

undisturbed unless your water tests positive for lead.

And PS - lead in water may be from a lead water supply line, not the

house plumbing. Many people replace the interior plumbing but don't

touch the supply line unless it's obviously broken. Incidentally, we

had a lead supply line replaced that had super heavy deposits - AND a

tree root through it - and the water was still running! Apparently a

pocket formed in the heavy clay around the break and was sufficiently

strong to keep the water flowing through the pipe. The plumber was

mystified.

There is food grade PVC that can be purchased for home water lines.

It is rarely done due to the additional cost. You know life, it is

all about making a buck. " No " contractor is going to spend the extra

dollars putting in food grade PVC lines into his new contruction

project, when he can instead put in the cheaper stuff & the world at

large really not realise the vast difference in quailty.
