Wilson's Disease is a genetic disorder which causes a disturbance in the storage of copper. It accumulates in the liver. As I have stated before, I believe that high amounts of copper, namely a copper overload due to this genetic disorder is one of the causes of a malfunctional metabolism which makes us susceptible to Morgellons Disease and it's related pathogens. Missing enzymes such as Gluthiaone cause an anti chelation effect. Copper and iron overload react with the bodies own production of Hydroxyl in a chemical way by the so called 'Fenton's reaction' which leads to the production of Hydroxyl radicals, also called free radicals, causing cell death, namely apoptosis. Iron in our modern daily diets (white bread, white sugar, pastries, soda, processed foods etc.) and iron residues in water causes an iron overload leading to the same reaction. Zinc has chelating effects, as you can read below.
Metallothionein also bind to copper. A lack of this enzyme leads to the production of cysteine crystals.
Wilson's Disease also causes a disturbance in the histidine/glutamine
production, amino acids, important in regulating oxidative cell damage.
It is also related to the prion disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (mad cow disease) for example or Alzheimer's and it's typical clinical manifestations of amyloidosis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid
Here's a picture of Amyloid fibers:
Amyloidosis is also linked to environmental contaminates.
For those who are interested in further info according this subject here's a link to my blog: morgellons2.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/amyloids-a-form-of-cytoplasmic-fibrils-in-humans/
Removal of excess copper and iron is possible with Zinc, which is a natural antagonist or NAC. NAC has great chelating effects. It stimulates the liver to produce more Gluthiaone, an enzyme important for detoxification of toxins and further metabolism of proteins and minerals.
Simpy avoiding foods with high contents of copper is another way to prevent an excessive over load on copper.
Copper plays also a significant role in the neurocognitive processes such as stimuli, mood regulation.
The above mentioned 'Fenton's reaction
leads also to neuropsychiatric symptoms, read here: www.wrongdiagnosis.com/w/wilsons_disease/symptoms.htm
A typical clinical manifestation of this genetic disorder is the so called Kayser-Fleischer-Ring...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayser-Fleischer_ring
Fleischer-Rings which occur around the iris due to an excess amount of iron show similarity to Kayser-Fleischer-Rings which are caused by the accumulation of copper.
I would like to ask everyone here to take the time and look, if you have this typical ring around the iris, which I do have. Sometimes a flashlight is helpful.
For further research, it would be very helpful to know if all people who are infected with Morgellons Disease have this medical condition.
I believe this rare genetic disorder (1 to 4 out of 100.000) leads to a higher infectious risk and to the systemic reactions caused by environmental contaminates and pathogens related to Morgellons Disease. It might also answer the question regarding the amount of people infected and why not all humans who are exposed to environmental contaminates such as in pesticides show typical symptoms of Morgellons Disease, even among family members.
