Spectracell, Glutathione, and other questions

[sf_mom]

We are not treating KPU as they are not technically pyrrolic.

 

However, they do have imbalances with zinc and copper...... copper was extremely high in the twins and symptoms were reflective of that. We were supplementing as high as 150 mg of zinc per day with a 8(zinc) to 1(copper) ratio. Zinc levels were still borderline deficient with higher copper (SpectraCell) after 9 months of treating at those levels. I was told by one of their Dr.'s directing the zinc amounts that when copper does not fall to proper levels and ratios are still off or the zinc remains borderline or deficient this typically indicates heavy metals issues..... which we have.

 

We are now supplementing with 90 mg of zinc and no copper. Hair sample show high levels of both zinc/copper but SpectraCell shows low levels of zinc higher copper. Copper has come down some with zinc supplementation. So, they are incorrectly utilizing zinc but again are not technically KPU/pyrrolic.... These ratios should rectify once we address heavy metals further. This time we will either do IV Chelation or PK protocol to address metals.

 

I've always found this article helpful and why I am reposting. It took me several reads to fully understand.
