Copper toxicity

Among men, symptoms of copper toxicity, usually, include prostate enlargement, prostate infections and to some degree prostate cancer.

Copper tends to oxidize and destroy vitamin C in the body. Meanwhile, vitamin C chelates or removes copper from the body. This requires a dose of vitamin C of at least about 500 mg daily, far higher than the minimum daily requirement of about 60 mg.

Most people with copper imbalance are very sensitive. Many also need to slow down, relax more, let go of anger and learn to meditate, perhaps. Some also need to make big life changes in their relationships, location, work and other important aspects of their lives so that they “live their truth” to a greater degree. Living a lie can be an important problem, in fact.

Life is not always easy for the copper-toxic person. One can become resentful, angry or depressed easily.

In the opinion of Dr Lawrence Wilson, saunas are the finest single additional modality with a nutritional balancing program for toxic metal elimination.
