I went back to reading about copper toxicity (not on Dr. Wilson's site) and it said that cadmium blocks copper and I remembered having read that chocolate might contain cadmium, so I did another search and found the thyroid site where I'd read it, apparently 2 studies revealed the presence of cadmium in cocoa, the speculation being that the cocoa beans got contaminated by being stored in containers that had cadmium, (and possibly also lead which showed up too), such being the case, although cadmium is usually not good news, in this case it probably bound with the copper and both went "down the drain". I've also taken zinc and manganese supplements on/off for years, especially zinc, so maybe unbeknownst to myself I helped diminish the copper damage a little bit as looking back I believe I've had adrenal issuess most of my life and my liver enzymes have been elevated - to my knowledge - for the past 10 years. I read that when the damage is serious the enzymes won't even rise anymore so at least I find comfort in that!
