    TAURINE The Key To Restoring Metabolic Function?

    I have been having a great time taking Taurine. At first it disturbed my sleep and gave me intestinal difficulties because it was increasing my bile output by quite a lot. But then I took my copper supplement around the same time I took Taurine, and the excess bile secretion stopped immediately...

    Excess Copper

    Does Ray Peat ever acknowledge the possibility of excess Free Copper in the body, and if yes how does he advise removing it? Copper is a necessary nutrient, and there is good documentation in the literature about what can go wrong if you are short of copper. But the body can have more copper...

    Balancing Zinc And Copper In The Body

    I'm fairly certain that I have too much copper stored in my body and have for most of my life. I have a lot of the classic symptoms for what some alternative health circles call pyroluria. The recommended treatment is zinc and b6. I have definitely noticed that some negative symptoms go away...

    Copper (II) Sulfate

    Hi, I have signs of copper deficiency (I am 28 years old and I have quite a lot of gray hair and I have more and more white hair on my beard). I am wondering is it safe to supplement copper in the form of copper (II) sulfate? The chemical formula is: CuSO4·5H2O The chemical name is...

    Copper Supplement +disulfiram May Treat Prostate Cancer

    Another interesting link between copper and cancer. It looks like cancer cells hoard copper from the rest of the body, which may explain the reductions in metabolism in prostate cancer patients - i.e. with low copper levels in the rest of the body the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase will not be...

    Osteoporosis Is Caused By Stress And Estrogen

    I was shocked to find this "editorial" in, of all places, the BMJ since it is known as one of the bastions of modern "medicine" (together with NEJM). I hope this is a good sign that not all allopathic doctors are villains. Either way, it makes for a very interesting read and it reads as if Peat...

    Copper May Treat Als

    The study of course tries to talk about how they have discovered a "special" (and likely patented) method of copper delivery to the cell, but the main message is that boosting copper levels in the cells increased lifespan of ALS rodents by 26%. Since copper is the crucial compound for cytochrome...

    Copper Restores Damaged Cytochrome C Oxidase Activity

    More specifically, exogenous copper supplementation, not copper present in food. So, for those that do not fancy liver, copper supplementation maybe a viable route. Ray has said that 4oz of liver has 30mg of copper, which is our weekly requirement. So, I am taking 4mg copper gluconate daily and...

    Copper

    http://charles_w.tripod.com/copper3.html Just a general article on copper. A lot of facts are familiar for the RP reader, and he makes interesting observations. Other facts are bit more surprising (see for example his take on copper deficiency in milk, that needs to be compensated by eating liver).

    Copper malabsorption

    Not sure if copper malabsorption is common, but I came across some results suggesting that sublingual copper glycinate can raise plasma copper levels in people who have trouble absorbing it otherwise. Maybe that tidbit will help someone searching the forum in the future.

    Copper bracelets

    I know of several people who have worn copper bracelets and after a while you can visibly see it absorbing into the skin (If I remember correctly the skin goes green under the location of the bracelet). After a while they saw marked improvements in joint mobility and a decrease in joint...

    Zinc, Copper, Selenium: Shellfish Vs Cocoa

    Hi everyone, I am not a fan of oysters. The taste and texture repulses me. I do eat prawns once every couple of weeks but that is about it. What I do eat a lot of is cocoa (90% cocoa chocolate to be precise). I always have it with coffee to stop the iron absorption. That is how I get my zinc...
