Zinc Health benefits

Deficency of Zinc accentuates copper execess
Copper is an essential trace mineral, needed only in small amounts. It works in a paired relationship with zinc, sometimes in complement and sometimes opposing.
Zinc is responsible for healthy immune function, protein and energy production, and enzymatic activity.
Zinc is also responsible for helping glucose metabolism convert sugars into ATP (adenosine-tri-phosphate). Without enough zinc, excessive glucose is stored in cells and can become food for yeast.
Copper is present in most foods, and is also absorbed from the environment.4,5 When zinc is present in abundance, and when there is enough quality protein available to bind it, copper can be handled freely, and the excess can be readily excreted trough the bile.7,8
When the diet is lacking in zinc and protein — and in fats to promote bile production — use of high-copper foods, and our water, promote buildup of copper in our tissues.

SO, By reducing copper foods, you are allowing copper elimination.
Healing Foods
Fish does not contain great amounts of either copper or zinc but although eggs contain only .7 mg zinc per egg, their ratio of 7 to 1 zinc to copper is nearly ideal, and eggs are rich in many nutrients needed to aid detoxification.

Red meats are among the most warming foods, and pork is especially good for the spleen. These proteins are richest and best assimilated sources of zinc.
Restore Fat Metabolism
Vitamins A and D in animal fats are essential for the absorption of minerals.
SO Improve fat digestion to begin to eliminate copper.

This is why many vegetarians have Copper toxicity and Zinc bio-unavailability to some degree.
It is always best to buy Organic, Free-Range Chicken and Grass fed Beef is the best without any toxic antibiotics.
The Meat that is raised on these hormones and pesticides will increase the rate of Copper retention in the body.
Copper Toxicity Treatment
The main thing to do is to increase Zinc and Magnesium levels. Taking Zinc alone can cause side effects as Zinc will cause a Copper detox as the body dumps this excess copper and Mercury and other heavy metals from the tissues. This can cause rashes and flu-like symptoms. Zinc will also lower Sodium levels which may make you feel extremely tired.
Your Liver's ability to produce the Copper and metal binding proteins Ceruloplasmin, Metallothionein, Glutathione and other are very important.
SO by balancing your mineral levels and Adrenal glands, Zinc bio-availability will rise, and the liver will be able to produce Ceruloplasmin, Glutathione and Metallothioneine, which will eliminate the Copper toxicity and also make the Copper available to the cells that need it.

Most people suffer from toxic build up of copper when they are low in the copper binding protein ceruloplasmin. When ceruloplasmin is low, copper cannot be properly utilized and it can get stored in organs like the liver, brain, and the thyroid.
How To Raise Celuroplasmin
Ceruloplasmin is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood, and iron metabolism and also for management of yeast and parasites. Sufficient liver function is required to make Ceruloplasmin and also animal-based retinol vitamin A and whole food vitamin C.
Prevent the liver sluggish to make ceruloplasmin available

Sluggish liver function?
The liver plays a key role in the breakdown, metabolism and detoxification of fats, hormones, alcohol, drugs and toxins. Sub optimal liver function is the result of eating a diet high in sugars and unhealthy fat such as those found in deep-fried foods. nutrients that help to maintain liver function, such as choline, inositol and niacinamide (vitamin B3).
Niacin, B-3, provides health benefits when obtained from dietary sources such as salmon, eggs, chicken and beets. It improves the health of your skin, eyes and hair; helps you convert carbohydrates to glucose for energy and helps you metabolize fats and proteins. Dietary niacin also helps improve liver function, but taking niacin in prescription or over-the-counter formulas may damage your liver.

What to eat with Copper Toxicity
In order to detox from excess copper we need to heal our gut and digestive system. We can do this by (1) Eating more animal products, (2) eating more fat, (3) avoiding dairy products, (4) avoid foods that deplete zinc and increase copper and (5) drink more distiled water.
Eat More Foods High in Zinc
- Beef
- Lamb
- Chicken
- Eggs
- Pumpkin seeds
Epsom salt baths pulls out heavy metals
Chlorella can be helpful too.
Don’t be a vegetarian. Being a vegetarian increases your chances of copper toxicity and makes it impossible to overcome, because it is so high in copper and low in zinc. Address adrenal health.
Avoid Foods High in Copper
- chocolate
- wheat
- coffee
- avocados
- leafy greens
- coconut
- sunflower seeds
- sesame seeds
- organ meats like liver
- Dairy doesn’t add copper but it does deplete zinc by throwing copper-zinc ratio out of whack,
- especially when is eaten with foods high in phytates.
Copper and Yeast Infection
Copper controls the growth of yeast. Yeasts and fungi ferment sugars for their energy production. When copper is not available to the body in sufficient quantity, normal metabolism is crippled and fermentation of sugars flourishes in such an environment.
As the copper is removed, the candida problem just goes away on its own.
