I asked that Luke guy on chat if he gives slow oxi with low Na/K ratio copper. He said something like
"yes copper and little bit of zinc as well. You do need all that stuff so some zinc as well. but it is more copper heavy for sure than when you have low Na/K ratio.."
meanwhile ARL was giving me not little bit, but like 90mg of zinc with 2mg of copper even with low Na/K lol..
Now when I think about it. I was taking all those sodium/copper antagonists. Getting beef jerky look crazy dehydrated, zero sweating, crashed estradiol. Tanked copper with ceruloplasmin.. Feeling like shit..
Maybe really what I should be doing all that time was increasing copper, with some zinc to keep at least 1:8 copper to zinc ratio but with the main focus to rise sodium first and when that sodium goes up than up zinc more to rise potassium...
It is third practitioner who told my definitely should take some copper with smaller dose zinc if Na/K is low..
But if am honest with myself I think none of that would work in my scenario. Not high zinc from ARL and not taking copper supplements.
Taking a lot of zinc will just crash my sodium and I will die from low collagen from no copper.
Taking copper with my zero bile flow, already high liver enzymes and low ceruloplasmin(often high free copper which indicates liver/adrenal thyroid issues) will not do any good. I would just increase oxidative stress from free copper..
Simply forcing something in my scenario will probably do more harm than good.. Anyways Hair is in US. Hopefully there will be no issue with customs and I will have the test in my email soon.
But I am 100% sure my Na/K is still low, still slow oxidizer..
Most likely I would keep taking those micro minerals that would be low like chromium, selenium, some electrolytes, but I will not take any zinc or copper from sups for now. Until I move, will restore bile flow. After that I think I will dump copper even without taking anything and maybe after that when I get better just by be in less stress I could do another retest and only then take full protocol. Maybe my retst would be perfect just from not stressing lol.. I think it is actually the case. That you can create horrible test results from stress and vise versa dump all the excess of copper and have great hair test just from not stressing and having normal balanced diet. No supps needed.. Because if you are under stress you can take all the magnesium, zinc etc. you want, but the body will release them right and retain copper. Well vise versa the body will dump copper and retain zinc and magnesium and stuff if the body is calm not under stress..
The problem for most people they don't want to change anything. They just want to take pills. So they force change on hair test, but in reality they are not getting better much..? Maybe I wam wrong don't know.. But it makes sense to me..
