Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yes, I';ve heard of it and know people who's N.D.'s follow the protocol. Dr. Wilson's theory is not widely accepted by the allopathic ommunity. There's the website: http://www.wilsonssyndrome.com/ and it gives referrals to practitioners who support the theory. There's a forum: http://health.WS-Forum/? yguid=127042307 that discusses the condition. Mary , Lady Damorea <ladydamorea> wrote: > Has anyone heard of this condition?

This can be remedied by taking daily zinc supplements. Amounts have been taken up to 100 mgs, however this should not be tried unless under the guidance of a qualified alternative health professional. The recommended amount (ODI) is 50 mgs tops. Since copper and zinc compete for absorption this usually corrects the problem over an extended period of time. Due to the fact that our foods do not contain sufficient amounts due to soil depletion, etc. supplementation is usually necessary. Including foods with large amounts of zinc also help. Raw nuts and seeds are good sources. It is beneficial to include more unrefined cold pressed oils (essential fatty acids) in the diet as well. These include extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, macademia nuts and oils and avocadoes. More helpful information can be found in " Prescription for Nutritional Healing " , Balch & Balch which can be found in any health foods store and libraries. Balch claims Pycnogenol is excellent for this. He lists numerous helpful supplements, although zinc is the key to controling excess copper buildup.
