It is simple. I haven't seen or heard about DHT dominant male with copper toxicity issues. But woman on estrogen pills? All the time.. They are exact opposite to each other. One is zinc dominant and other is copper dominant. One crave steak and other crave chocolate and sweets..The ideal zinc to copper ratio for man and woman as well is 8:1. If you are estrogen dominant/copper toxic. Than you will see health issues typical for women after estrogen pills like hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, varicose veins, gallstones, mental issues etc.. I also believe that estrogen/copper is related to prostate, breast, ovarian and other types of cancers..
DHT dominant males ALL have copper toxicity issue. This is why DHT is high in hairloss. Most of those people are copper toxic. or aluminum or lead toxic
Aromatase inhibitors retain copper, since estrogen is not working and body is trying very hard to retain copper. to make estrogen. Actual estrogen chelates copper, any estrogenic substance taken from outside will chelate copper, like reseveratrol. Resveratrol is estrogen and it causes copper deficiency. Women who get spider veins take progestins, not estrogen pills. SODS contain both copper and zinc , so spider veins could be from zinc or copper deficiency . it is all about balance.
If you dont have high copper on a hairtest, your problem is not copper. Your problem is metalothionein. And most likely either lead mercury or alumunium. Copper does show on the hairtest and ARL is wrong talking about hidden copper toxicities.
As far as copper toxicity symptoms , women get them by inserting UID. this is when I see high copper on hairtests. Estrogen pills do cause hypothyrodism if taken constantly since estrogen lowers thyroid effect. But when they quit this estrogen, they are all low on estrogen later, since estrogen chelated their copper.
Molybdenum helps mercury more than copper. But molydenum is needed for All MT metalo enzymes as a cofactor, so it will be used up in any kind of metal toxicity. Slow oxidizers are mostly toxic in aluminum and lead. Some are toxic in copper, but then copper DOES show up on the hairtest. As you can see on hairtests of people with high copper. I saw thousands of them.
And also I saw people who have low copper on hairtests and they keep chelating this copper and get older and older looking, since the problem is not copper, the problem other metals, which stop methylation and stop metabolism from going up.
I have seen gazzillion hairtests when copper did not show on the hairtest and people were chelating copper it NEVER ended well. Since the problem was not copper. But you still need zinc molybdenum for the work of metalpthionein. This is why zinc and molybdenum are given, but also copper is always given with ARL program. since it is not about copper. ARL gives copper to people with 95% chance. They give all slow oxidizers limcomin , it has plenty of copper in it.
If I see a person with high hair copper, then I do know that they lack metalothionein. They need boron , zinc moly , b6 manganese for a while. then they need to add copper after copper comes down.
As far as bile flow. Progestins stop bile flow. copper increases bile flow. Since bile is secreted to get rid of copper and get fat soluble vitamin A absorbed. So if there is copper deficiency body will not want vitamin A and will stop bile. You can see your bile pretty much white, if you take zinc and manganese and you are deficient in copper.
Bottom line, copper DOES show on hairtest, I tried it million times. IF a person is a slow oxidizer and you give that person copper or copper foods, COPPER will show on the hairtest with a 100% chance.
ARL knows this and they know it is not about copper. This is why all their programs give copper at all times. I don't agree with that. and I dont give copper to people with high copper. But people with low copper mostly will need all SODS to lift up the metabolism. And it is not about copper for them , it is about glutathione redox and recycling.
