Zinc and copper
Another Ah-ha.
NOW I better understand one of the reasons why Newport said to not take zinc with Lyme's, without also taking fresh copper (while clearing out the toxic copper). Viruses of the herpes family goes with Lyme's.

Amazingly, the most depleted minerals in our Lyme patients are often
copper, magnesium, manganese (in Lyme) and iron (in Babesiosis). Bb and
Bartonella need magnesium to duplicate and deplete the host’s body rapidly.
Copper and iron have all but disappeared from most of our supplements
based on faulty interpretation of hair analysis. The immune system uses
those two metals in the process of phagocytosis. They are the main
constituent of the enzymes (or “bullets”) the immune cells use in the battle
against the invaders.
Oxidized used-up iron and copper get displaced into the extracellular
compartment and body fluids and appears in the hair and skin, as the body’s
most efficient way of excreting toxins without hurting the kidneys. This has
led to the dangerous and in its consequence catastrophic assumption, that
these metals are the enemy and need to be restricted.
***** Zinc fosters the growth of HSV I and II, copper and selenium
inhibit it.
Let me add Zoster HSV III to that as well, it is possible that the intro of copper drove the HSV into the nerves/skin and brain. HSV in brain is the #1 reason for insomnia in Lyme patients....>>>>
