From what I read, some histadelics have been found to have high copper levels as well. Some of these were found to have pyroluria along with the histadelia, and others were found to be deficient in zinc altogether. Pyroluria causes severe zinc and B6 deficiencies. If your zinc gets depleted, then your copper levels will become very high. Treatment of that requires repletion of those 2 nutrients.
Many of people who are found to have high copper levels almost always have a zinc defiency as well as a major cause of high copper levels is zinc deficiency.
