How to get tested to find out whether you are at risk to develop a neurodegenerative “disease” like Alzheimer’s D, Parkinson’s or MS?
Good news, it’s actually pretty easy & cheap!

Here we go:

Just ask your Lab for a Mag-Zinc-Copper Panel with Iron Panel Test
like: http://requestatest.com/mag-zinc-copper-panel-with-iron-panel-testing
After you got your blood test results back you can easily calculate/interpret the test.

proper reference values are:
Serum Copper: 100-130 mcg/dL opt. 110
Plasma Zinc: 80-100 mcg/dL opt. 100
Serum Ceruloplasmin: 25-40mg/dL opt. 33
Mag RBC: 5.0-7.0 mg/dL , opt. 6.5
sFe: 120 umol/L (man) 100 (woman)
Ferritin: 20-50 ng/dl (not higher!)
TIBC: 285 (woman) 340 ng/dl (man)
(use serum Fe, Ferritin & TIBC to calculate the Iron/TIBC %, which should be %33)

Calculating ratios/percentages:
- Zinc/Copper ratio should be: 1.3 to 1.2
- Free Copper (not bound to Cp) should be between 5-15%, optimal is 10%

From your lab results now you can easily calculate you free (toxic/bio-unavailable Copper with this simple formula:
Free Cu% = sCu – (3x sCp) and then divided by the original total serum Copper. Done - That’s the result you need!

Sample for optimal values: Free Cu = 110- (3x33) = 11, 110 : 11 = 10%
If your free/unbound Copper level should be above %15 (toxic level) you have to bring up your Ceruloplasmin values and to re-balance your mineral levels at the same time.
