From the original social post
What is the root cause of fibromyalgia? The inability to process copper properly! For a few genetic reasons, you’re not able to move copper and zinc into the cells where they need to be, leacing buildups and overloads around your body at key trigger points. This is the cause of your pains and aches. Handle copper, and watch it all get better.

Use your zinc, total copper, and ceruloplasmin blood results to estimate NCC and the copper:zinc ratio.
How this estimate works
This uses the formula in Dr. Purser’s handout: NCC (µg/dL) = total copper (µg/dL) − 3 × ceruloplasmin (mg/dL). NCC percentage = NCC ÷ total copper × 100. Copper:zinc ratio = total copper ÷ zinc, using the same units.
Calculated NCC is an estimate. Test methods and how much copper is bound to ceruloplasmin can affect it. It differs from a direct lab measurement of labile or exchangeable copper. It cannot diagnose fibromyalgia or copper toxicity, or choose treatment for you. Read about the limits of calculated NCC at Mayo Clinic Laboratories ↗
