Quite simple...

If I fast for longer than an hour, I get masses of bubbles in my urine. The more frequently I eat carbohydrates, the less bubbles appear in my urine.

If I fast for longer than an hour, I get tingling sensations throughout my body and feel a panic sensation come over me. I then notice more collagen loss in the form of thinned skin, enlarged visible veins (spider veins) and more joint problems.

There is a correlation between bubbles in the urine and collagen loss whenever I fast > 30-60 minutes. This is a very weird, scary phenomena, but it's an observation that I can make easily and repeat (as any scientist would require).

So, I'm forced to eat carbohydrates every 30-60 minutes.

I cannot explain why this is happening because it seems like such a rare phenomena, but it's the truth.

Also, I can no longer leave the house because things like perfumes, car fumes and cigarette smoke are extremely damaging and cause injury, particularly to my vascular system.

Maybe there is a copper connection because...

- Copper is needed for the collagen building enzyme lysyl oxidase
- Copper is needed for mitochondrial ATP production enzyme cytochrome c oxidase
- Copper is needed for master antioxidant enzyme Zn/Cu-SOD

I know that my Zn/Cu-SOD activity is very low, which means that intracellular copper must be very low.

This all correlates...I cannot make ATP properly, I cannot build collagen properly and my body cannot resist chemicals without severe injury.

I don't know why mitochondrial dysfunction would cause my body to need carbs constantly and for my collagen to be pissed down the drain as bubbles, but this seems to be the pattern and explanation.

The thing is, I don't have fatigue - none at all. My cortisol rages and even if I go to bed after midnight, my body is ready to go at 7.30am the next morning - ready for the first carb feed of the day.

This is like living in hell with the most brutal and demoralising punisher whipping me every second of my waking hours. Death would almost be a gift, but with my first child coming soon, I want nothing more than this madness to end and allow me to lead a reasonably normal existence again.

I think that ultimately, I have a very severe intracellular copper deficiency, but I don't know the mechanism by which I'm deficient.

Just before all of this happened, I was engaging in the old practice of drinking water from a copper cup left overnight. This copper water (metallic water, at least it tasted very metallic!) has filled my body with highly reactive copper I suspect and it is just there.

I don't know if copper in this metallic form in the body prevents the body from making use of copper, but it seems like I have a severe copper deficiency through the mechanism of not being able to bind and shuttle it into the cell somehow. Maybe my body is saturated with "heavy" dangerous metallic copper from a massive overdose and now it doesn't know what to do anymore.

I took zinc for a while, but I don't know if that makes me even more deficient in copper.

I don't really know what to do anymore personally...

Maybe the miracle will come sooner, or later...Who knows?! Divine intervention, especially in the form of large accidents has helped me before, so...

Let not my will but thy will be done! ;-)))

This is very interesting :)

I can't help thinking copper toxicity could be my problem
I have a constant racing mind, edgy, anxiety most of the time.

So is a hair analysis the best way to diagnose copper problems?

Is it better than a blood test?

I cant afford to get both done.

Is it reliable for checking electrolyte levels as well?

I keep reading load's of different views on the hair test


Thanks!
