What is the root cause of Fibromyalgia? This catch all, pain releated disease has it roots dug deep into MTHFR and Copper metabolism. I see it as a Copper Overlaooad Issue more than anything. Your copper absorption is not happening, its being built up in your blood serum and not getting into the cells. So a few basic nutrients support the uptake of that copper. Molybdenum, boron, Glutathione, B6 to name a few. This is just scratching the surface, but fibromyalgia CAN BE DEALT WITH! Learn more with End Fibromyalgia with Natural Options

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 ↗
