"The selective action of copper can be explained by the ability of copper to form a complex with dopamine, allowing this metal to be transported by cells that have the ability to take up dopamine (6)."

So, my dopamine is being kidnapped? Or, copper is holding it hostage?

Anyone else have hair analysis to compare?

when my copper levels were checked for wilson's disease they were borderline high. the doctor said someone could have not washed it properly after the last use. so very reassuring!

Guess all the labs are dirty and we really don't have high copper levels. Does this look familiar to you?

.."Each mineral has “target organs” where it tends to build up. The places where copper accumulates are the liver first, then the brain and the reproductive organs. Copper may affect any organ or system of the body. However, it usually affects about four or five major systems of the body. These are the nervous system, the female and male reproductive system, connective tissues such as hair, skin and nails and organs like the liver"..
