An Appraisal of Current Human Copper Nutriture

  • Chapter
Book cover Inflammatory Diseases and Copper

Part of the book series: Experimental Biology and Medicine ((EBAM,volume 2))

Abstract

A few years ago in an article on ischemic heart disease (1), I divided diseases into two classes by whether or not the etiologies are comprehensible or incomprehensible. The comprehensible class was divided further into toxic, hereditary, infectious and deficiency diseases. I stated that

“Although it is possible that ischemic heart disease will be found to have a new type of etiology when it is transferred from the incomprehensible class to the comprehensible class, it seems prudent to assume that wellestablished mechanisms will predominate.”

I think this statement applies equally well to some of the diseases under consideration in this symposium. Further consideration and contemplation have led me to the conclusion that there are only four ways of becoming ill.
