My hematologist thought the high copper was due to low iron, but my iron numbers are all great after 5 months of increased intake and my copper hasn't budged at all. 

So frustrating. 

And we found out today that my dad has a cancerous mass in his head.  So I'm up in PA until at least Monday to help out.

I'm sorry about your dad.  Hopefully he will be fine with surgery.  A very close friend and an attorney acquaintance of mine both recently had tumors removed from brain.  Both are doing very well.  I would suggest trying chlorophyll liquid or caps for the copper.  See if that helps at all.  

Start weight:  252 pounds
