Selenium is needed to convert T4 into T3, and so is copper.

Fortunately I have never taken more than 100mg a day, and fortunately I wasn't taking it before I came down with shingles or I would be very mad at myself. That's very interesting, though, isn't it?

Interestingly high dose folate (above 10mg) inhibits xanthine oxidase, and so does copper.

I don't do well with folate or copper, not even high copper foods. I'll have to look up xanthine oxidase.

Most doctors are convinced that copper overload is more common than copper deficiency in their practice, which I have no reason to doubt.
Based on my understanding, copper deficiency is not and must not be diagnosed by a single blood or urine copper content test alone, but together with other clinical signs. So far I have not had luck to detect any NCBI research paper relating copper overload with neurological patients, but I did find one relating copper deficiency to a small group of neurological patients. Anyone had luck of finding NCBI research papers?
Acquired copper deficiency is rare but is real.

I think supplements for joints are helping me to detox copper - something I doubted I had issues with...

Sulfur interferes with the storage of copper, an essential trace element,
however with copper levels being on the high side with many people, this
is generally a positive effect. It is interesting that patients with normal
or below-normal copper levels rarely exhibit deficient sulfur levels. In fact,
the benefits of sulfur-containing supplements (Glucosamine Sulfate, MSM)
on some forms of arthritis are not just a result of their positive effect on
cartilage regeneration, but are largely based on lowering elevated copper
levels which promote joint degeneration, particularly - or more so - on the
right side of the body.

But sulfur can quickly cause side effects (just read further the link above).

Acquired copper deficiency is rare but is real.

My sniffer dogs are all pointing to low zinc right now.

Be aware that low zinc can coexist with low copper.
