Zinc and copper duke it out
Full Article Here
The story is of a man with an incision that wouldn't heal. He had a low white and red cell count. The reason: He was taking a high dose of zinc, along with some copper he was getting in his multivitamin. The zinc and copper are absorb by the same receptors so the zinc was getting absorb, but the copper wasn't. So he became very copper deficient. Interesting story.
