Hi BDEyes! I was just reading this article the other day! I'm driving to town today and I'm going to try to find a health foods store that sells copper. I used to take a long time ago, collaidal drops that included copper along with other minerals. Reading the article, it sounds like taking copper might help in alot of diseases. I have degenerative arthritis, actually it has a long name but is commonly called D.I.S.H. or Forester's disease. It causes bone spurs all over the body and I tell everyone I'm turning into a rock! Who knows, maybe a copper deficiancy might have alot to do with it. I'll certainly give it a try!
