Neverending Story for me that hopefully will end soon.
to sum up the last months:
Zinc and copper deficient (low ceruloplasmin too) and this is causing my histamine issues (mostly skin symptoms).
i have this for many years, maybe all my life, and when i found out about my low blood levels some people told me to not supplement copper or eat high copper foods because people have too much of it anyways in the liver etc and I should just take the zinc. Done. First it helped and after a few days my symptoms got worse.
then I was reading to only take copper and with zinc supplements I will never get copper up and rid of my issues. Done. Pretty much the same. First days high copper improved symptoms and then it got worse.
the only thing that really makes a positive difference is to take both. But I still got to find out the right ratio.
Eating liver every week did not raise my copper levels. Two oysters everyday did raise them very slightly only, but symptoms improved a lot, but still not good enough.
zinc sulfate helps the most somehow and I take liquid copper now too. Take very high doses helped the most and I wonder if I should go even higher or just experiment with other ratios.
the good thing is I feel a change in hours. Zinc and copper supplements and my skin itching and eczema is much better soon. One day without and it’s getting much worse again, even when I take high zinc and copper for weeks.
So i need to take it everyday and right now I take 2 x daily 15 mg zinc sulfate / 1,5 mg copper.
-
i will take 45 mg zinc / 4,5 mg copper for some days soon and see if this helps even more
Then try different ratios, like
25 mg zinc / 4 mg copper,
20 mg zinc / 2 mg copper,
30 mg zinc / 2 mg copper and so on.
like i said I luckily feel a difference really quick, so let’s see.
I’ll update this after a few days of taking different doses.
hopefully I’ll find a ratio that completely gets rid of my symptoms.
