Oohh, Chirley, so sorry about what you have been going through, seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing but it sounds like once more the universe has come through and slowed down this process for you to a more reasonable pace.
The doctor said at the outset that he had included copper (don't know what type) in some "Myer's cocktail" formulations given previously to 2 patients in the office. That is what he is proposing to do for Bruce. The "cocktail" he is prescribing will include some copper sulfate, so it sounds like it is different kind of treatment than being discussed with you. The "push" that will be used is more like a very slow injection, given with a syringe intravenously. it is timed, and takes about 10 minutes. Bruce was told yesterday that the glutathione will be administered separately and that the glutathione will be given first, then the Myer's cocktail. He had his second gluathione injection yesterday and is feeling pretty good today.
Copper chloride hadn't even been on my radar before reading your post. I did a quick search to see what the differences between chloride and sulfate were. What I learned about copper chloride and copper sulfate were from this website
http://www.drugs.com/pro/copper.html.
http://www.drugs.com/mmx/cupric-sulfate.html. They are both used as a component of parenteral nutrition. Unfortunately, the diagnostic criteria that lead to favoring one over the other isn't very clear. There were warnings about using copper chloride intravenously, if undiluted. And enough other warnings that I could understand why they would want you to be in hospital "just in case."
I'm going to check that website you mentioned and also go back into pubmed and see if I can find anything else about copper protocols. I hit a dead end very quickly before. If I find anything worthwhile I'll let you know.
Going to wrap it up for now. It was a very early day, snow on the 2 passes we have to cross to get to the doctor, etc. Bruce had a consultation with the cardiologist -- he has been having some chest tightness and pain with exertion. Cardiologist said it sounded like classic angina and prescribed a beta blocker. This is a new prescription and may very well delay the onset of the copper treatment.
Another hug because you had such a rotten day. I still find it hard to believe that a hospital stay would be cancelled on you, without letting you know, and the doctor wouldn't hang around to talk about it.
