RE: Copper ion is good for the body; but what about Wilson disease?
This is a great post, sir @steepup. I never knew excess of Copper in the body can lead to all those symptoms and most especially Wilson disease.
The two function of ATP7B in connecting copper to ceruloplasmin and removing copper excess into the bloodstream are damaged in Wilson disease, there is accumulation of copper in the liver tissue, but ceruloplasmin secretion is unabated but lack copper so the ceruloplasmin is quickly degraded to the bloodstream.
Thanks for this beautifully written post, sir. In a nutshell, we must not always resort to orthodox method of treatment but rather going to the hospital for proper medical check up.
Yes, you are correct, @emperorhassy. We need to visit the hospital for proper checks, so as not to be at the receiving end. All the way, thanks for stopping by.
