Copper / Zinc
"You have given me so much hope. I've only been on the program for two months
and I can see a difference already."
Barbara Levin
The correct ratio is vital for hair growth!
Copper toxicity and low zinc levels are primary causes of hair loss.
Judging from the hundreds of TMAs I've seen in the last five years, American and European
woman are overloaded with copper.
 Causes of Copper Toxicity
Birth control
Copper is a primary component of The Pill because it helps
control the ovulation cycle. Also, some IUDs are made of copper. You may be using one of these
forms of birth control. If your mother did, then you might have been born with too much copper.
And now you're adding more. Which means your system may have much more copper than it needs.
Copper Pipes and Pots
Copper from pipes and is leached into drinking water and food.
Swimming Pools
If you have a swimming pool, the green algicide you use is pure copper!
Symptoms of Copper Toxicity
Frontal headaches
Depression
Fatigue
Constipation
Emotional volatility
Weight gain
Food cravings

High Zinc Foods -- Eat More of These
Pumpkin seeds
Soybeans
Oysters and other shellfish
Herring
Eggs
Wheat germ
Lean Meats
Zinc is one of the controlling nutrients for progesterone production. The old wives' tale
about oysters being a great aphrodisiac is scientifically correct because oysters are loaded
with zinc.
Lean protein is great for zinc absorption. Lean protein includes lean meat (top round, not
greasy hamburgers), lean pork, chicken and turkey (without skin), fish, shellfish and eggs.
If you are a vegetarian and suffer from PMS, you might want to start eating protein two days
before PMS is scheduled to begin and then stop when your period begins.
Restore a balanced copper/zinc ratio and you'll be on your way to a fuller head of hair.
