It does not seem safe to supplement with any copper beyond the US RDA for people with Parkinson’s.

Copper and zinc are antagonists, and the balance between them is an example of biological dualism.

Other elements have similar balance traits.

No, copper alone is not poison.

N-acetylcysteine attenuates copper overload-induced oxidative injury in brain of rat

The second I saw this I thought the thiol group on n-acetylcysteine might be able to chelate copper. This was the first reference that showed up. You can buy it OTC.

By the way if you have copper pipes you might be getting too much copper. The water distiller that goes with the autoclave at work keeps getting clogged up with cupric and calcium carbonate from the pipes and the groundwater, respectively.

It’s a pain to clean that stuff out, it’s like scrubbing rocks off stainless steel.

Mark Purdey was studying the origins of CJD (Mad Cow). He discovered multiple factors. 1) organo-phosphate pesticides make the blood/brain barrier permeable. 2) CJD is found in places that have diets deficient in copper, but have available sources of strontium or manganese to substitute for the missing copper. 3) when strontium or manganese get substituted for copper, the proteins become sensitive to infrasound from large trucks or airplanes. The infrasound causes the strontium or manganese to become magnetized. The proteins carrying the magnetized strontium or manganese promote misfolding of adjacent proteins (prions). It is a catalytic action that doesn't not degrade the magnetized protein. In time, the damage promotes to spongiform transformation of the neural tissue.

The regular supplementation with zinc that most of us do to keep SARS-CoV-2 at bay has the effect of stripping out copper, so some supplementation is needed. An outward clue that you are deficient is gray hair. I've maintained my copper levels and my hair is mostly the dark brown it has been all of my lift at age 65.
