That was a great read Dr. Snyder. If you or anyone has any suggestions on how I can help my daughter (14) want to try and stick with treatment to help her pls let me know. I am tired of the tantrums.
Shawn. Thank you for you comment. I wish I could be more helpful here and give specific suggestions or recommendations. Perhaps I will write a more general post in the future about how to engage teens in their treatment. Thank you again for your support of this newsletter.
When I see someone that has low copper and anxiety, their is typically something else that appear to be driving their anxiety. I do not see low copper causing high anxiety.
My son has copper overload. He has pyrrole which causes the imbalance of zinc/copper/b6 and is a undermethalater. He is having bad symptoms with the protocol to lower copper causing him worsening mental symptoms. Would the binders ( charcoal etc) help him detox the copper? His brain reacts to anything example methl b12 causes worsening symptoms.
Hi Tammy - I'm unable to provide treatment recommendations. I don't use charcoal to lower copper, but rather to bind specific mold toxins (it doesn't bind all mold toxins). When people are reacting to a lot of different things, I think about mast cell activation. I can't say that is the case for your son, but if you're not already familiar, here is a link to a blogpost about that - https://www.courtneysnydermd.com/blog/mast-cell-activation-inflammation-in-brain-disorders-how-to-calm-things-down
You're welcome. Yes. Endogenous estrogen can increase copper. This is why, for example, copper levels naturally go up during pregnancy. But after pregnancy, they come down (and so should copper). For women who have problems regulating copper, it can stay high. Here is a link to the Walsh Research Institute - https://www.walshinstitute.org/

Can this be the same for low copper?
Hi. I'm not sure I understand. Please clarify and I'm glad to respond.
The symptoms you describe anxiety, Dysregulation can this be from low copper
When I see someone that has low copper and anxiety, their is typically something else that appear to be driving their anxiety. I do not see low copper causing high anxiety.
Can low copper have the same symptoms as high
High copper can be from stress?
Typically not. In this post, I share reasons for high copper.
