Does your chiropractor have any sort of energy treatment for

zinc/copper balance? I'm thinking of the energy work you had that

helped your adrenals. Maybe something similar would help zn/cu.

You might want to consider NAET at some point. It is not just good

for allergies, but can be used to help your ability to absorb and

use minerals, and for just about any " sensitivity " you can think of.

Not everyone has good luck with it, but has helped me a lot. I seem

to be sensitive to energetic therapies and benefit quickly from most

I have tried.

little better today. I did have some slight dizziness while on the

round, and yesterday morning after taking the extra zinc. Maybe they

aren't related.

The fatigue after a round often clears up in a day or two.

Again, this sounds consistent with redistribution.

Not sure why taking the zinc would have caused dizziness. I used

to get dizziness and nausea together when I had gastritis. You

probably do have some degree of stomach issues, as evidenced by

the all low hair test.

getting to chelation. My hair test resembled an " all low " profile. I

am wondering if maybe my copper could have been low to begin with, and

all the zinc I have been taking for 5 months without chelating is

driving it lower. Maybe not...My new MD is familiar with Andy's work,

so I will talk to her about this on the 14th. I showed her my hair

analysis, and she told me that I was mercury toxic! I am lucky to

finally have found an excellent MD! We both hired the same dentist to

have our amalgams replaced too. :-)

It would be good to talk to the MD about it and also to look at some

material on zinc and copper deficiency and excess symptoms.

I have had a lot of problems with low mineral levels, and copper is

one that has been on the low side. I did have RBC testing and it

was worth it because I really did not recognize my issue with low

mineral levels until I did it. I also have long-standing adrenal

issues and an all-low hair test.

(ARNP who is recommended by Andy, and whom I use for treatment

and advice) does feel I should take some copper (2 mg per day, split

into two doses), so I am doing this now. So it is not unheard of,

but I would only do it after thinking it through, since it is a

synergistic toxin with mercury.

This could also be a copper detox, taking anti-copper supplements

(except MB, because its a blocker) will take copper out of the

tissues and put it in the blood where it is excreted. Thus the

symptoms. I got the same thing when I was copper toxic. Also you can

be copper toxic and have a low copper in your hair, mine did not rise

(thats right RISE) until I started taking supplements to antigonize

copper, this is what you would call a long standing hidden copper

toxicity, probably had this since childhood.

Thanks
