Copper and the adrenals

Learning more about the balance of copper has helped me understand some missing pieces of the puzzle too. It took me a while to understand how it could both be toxic, and at the same time be deficient. And what happens with other mineral imbalances with it...and the many different systems in the body that are affected by it.

>>Adrenal Gland Exhaustion and Copper Toxicity

Diminished adrenal activity is perhaps the single most important physiological reason for copper problems today. The reason is that adrenal activity is required to stimulate pro-duction of ceruloplasmin, the primary copper-binding protein.

When adrenal activity is insufficient, ceru-loplasmin synthesis in the liver declines. Copper that is not bound cannot be used and unbound copper begins to accumulate in various tissues and organs.

According to hair analysis research, 70–80 percent of people tested show weak adre-nal glands!
