Low copper and protein flagged in blood results
Im middle aged living in Thailand. Ive been low on copper for many years and have blood results as evidence. Ive been taking 2mg of copper for ages but never been able to get the levels up. Last month an endocrynologist told me to take 2mg in the morning and 2mg at night. She said take 30mg zinc at lunchtime. I tried this for 2 weeks and had to lower both doses due to side effects. Last month copper was low at 687.62 (range 800-1100). This week its 725.44. Last month my zinc was low at 56.62 (range 70 to 120). This week its 68. I have dialated cardiomyopathy as well and some minor issues with my heart. A month ago urine analysis showed Protein trace A. This week dr tested for Wilsons disease Ceruloplasmin and my level was 0.200. (range 0.200 to .600) Anyways I checked what dr chatgbt says and it suggests impaired copper metabolism. ie my body is not properly transporting or retaining copper. Its suggesting Liver function tests and check for neurologic or ophthalmologic evaluation (whatever that is) I seem to remember 2 yrs ago they did a scan on my liver which flagged something in the images. I will have to go back and check this So the reason for writing all this is to ask if anyone knows a good specialist that can help me diagnose and sort this out. I think my edocrynologist has no idea. Bangkok based specialist is ok. Do you agree a liver dr would be a good idea? Im wondering if I should do genetic testing for wilsons and menkes disease? thanks -

Trump Mocks France Over WWII Commemorations, Urges Greater U.S. Recognition
I don't thnk so. The oil embargo on Japan was a calculated blow to Japan aimed to provoke it to go to war. The US must have known that a Japan starved off oil would have to resort to war. -

How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?
So, let me see if I understand you here . You rely on the media presumably FuX News and New Max to tell you how safe it is in your neighborhood or places you plan to visit? What, are they doing daily reviews of all destinations in the USA? Does Fux news have a daily crime report for every city and town in the USA. Better not go to Cincinnati today unless you got your Glock concealed with you hahaha!! Right Wing media has got you hook line and sphincter. LOL, you've got to be kidding. Chicken little the sky is falling!! -

No, actually the boom period that followed 1945 benefitted all Western countries greatly, not just the US. The UK, Germany, France, Japan, all benefitted from the post war boom tremendously. It lasted for over two decades. Everybody got richer after WWII. It's just the UK was spending the riches of India for pomp and ceremony, but it was never that rich. As was evident after it gave up India. -

The nursing side of palliative care in Thailand is as good as, and often better than, can be found in most western countries. Further, the restriction of some medicines for domestic use also applies in many western countries.
