Age 66, I have suspected Wilson for about 7 years, no diagnosis as of yet. Copper is high, inching up every year, almost to jump over Kaisers normal high range. Zink has just gone below the low normal line. Still watching
The key is to have optimal levels of magnesium, retinoic acid, and copper in order to allow your body to produce optimal amounts of ceruloplasmin-bound copper. In the 1940's this was mid 40's ng/dl. Today, many people are around 25 or below. Look up The Root Cause Protocol, a diet designed, from the ground up, to optimize ceruloplasmin-bound copper. If I were you, I'd also consider ingesting broccoli sprouts and/or its juice daily. It apparently is quite effective at detoxing the liver of iron and, perhaps, other toxic metals, which then frees the liver up to do its jobs more effectively. Look back in your history and your maternal lineage history... if there was a lot of processed (iron filing loaded) phoods and toxic seed oils ingested, well, garbage in / garbage out. The good news is that if you can clean up the garbage and start ingesting nutrient dense foods with the correct nutrients, your body will likely be able to respond favorably. How favorably depends on the level of damage done to date. But, doing the right thing today will lead to better results tomorrow, even if they aren't perfect. That's OK. Just be the best you can be -- and that's good enough!
Most likely you would have elevated copper levels which would return to normal during a remission. Increased serum ceruloplasmin oxidase activity, ceruloplasmin, a-1-acid glycoprotein, copper levels and decreased transferrin and albuminumin, unchanged manganese levels are associated with CLL and appear to be a consequence of the disease itself.
