COPPER REFERENCES

by Charles Weber, MS

References for copper nutrition and these two copper physiology articles. --- Back to chapter I of the Copper physiology and nutrition series --- Additional copper nutrition and physiology discussion.

OTHER CONTENTS OF THIS HEALTH SERIES

You may obtain a book about potassium nutrition at this site, along with the table of contents and first chapter. It discusses how diuretics, diarrhea, enemas, laxatives, corticosteroids, poisons, and disease states cause a deficiency and how potassium will cure heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and hypertension. It also discusses procedures to cope with too high a blood potassium and abnormal potassium in diabetes.

How to prevent tooth decay using cashew nuts. --- Electrolyte regulation (sodium and potassium) --- Purpose of cortisol as an intestinal immune hormone. --- Potassium losses in the kitchen --- Potassium and vitamin B-1 interaction in heart disease. --- Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia --- When Blood Potassium is too High
