I'm dealing with a suspected copper situation too....I highly recommend Ann Louise Gittleman's Why am I always so tired ? It's about copper poisoning. It's only a tiny book, but a good read since most stuff about metal poisoning on the net is about mercury. There is only one thing I don't agree with her about, and that is recommending alpha lipoic acid. ALA actually prevents bilirary exrection of copper, so this is the only flaw in the book I need to point out.

I've always had oily skin also, with acne breakouts. Now that I'm copper detoxing my skin has actually turned brown/orange. It looks as if I have a deep tan. I had my liver checked out because I thought it was jaundice, but everything was fine. Then I frequently read that copper increases pigmentation. I used to be white looking, but now that I'm mobilizing copper stores from tissue, it has had an effect on my skin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
