We just got the results of the second copper test back and Bruce's copper, since taking 3 mg chelated copper supplement has improved to 64.
Thanks for the information, Marlene. Bruce did discontinue taking nexium/prilosec which he has taken for 15 years because of GERD (despite the doctors saying there wouldn't be any hematological effect of his doing so) because of our concerns about absorption of minerals in the stomach being compromised by the new generation of anti-acid medications.
