Varicose Vein Treatment: How Copper Can Help You

Varicose vein treatment, like sclerotherapy and EVLT, does not actually repair damaged veins. Instead, it "ablates" (destroys) veins that have gone bad so they can no longer carry blood and no longer affect other veins. After ablation, varicose veins no longer cause symptoms like edema, cramps, itching, and stinging. If you are in need of varicose vein treatment, this likely means you have some veins that are damaged beyond repair, so much so they must be ablated, and others that may be only slightly damaged. It is the latter category of veins, those which are only slightly damaged, where copper can help a lot. Copper can also help prevent vein damage!
Copper is an essential mineral for animals, including humans. It weaves together elastin and collagen making tissues more elastic and flexible. This keeps the endothelial lining of your blood vessels flexible but not so much as as they give way and stretch out of shape. If there is a rip, tear, or weak spot in your vein walls, or vein valves, copper is essential for fixing the problem. Copper does the same for capillaries and arteries. There are many anecdotal reports of fine spider veins fading away after people start taking copper supplements. However, a solid experiment to show definitive scientific evidence of this has not yet been done.
To illustrate just how important copper is to blood vessel health, we only need to review an important news story from the late 1950s. We can always learn from history! In 1957, the US government put on the market a "wonder food" for turkey farmers. It was a food that was supposed to make turkeys grow big and healthy. Instead, turkey farmers found turkeys dead by the dozens, then hundreds! In fact, half the domestic turkeys were lost that year!
You might assume this mysteriously high mortality rate for domestic turkeys that year was due to a flu epidemic or some other pathogen sweeping through the turkey flocks. However, autopsies revealed that the turkeys died from aneurysms, mostly from ruptured aortic arteries! After more investigation, it was determined that the wonder feed did not have enough copper in it! Similar incidences have been discovered in domestic pigs!
It should also be noted that copper is important in keeping the skin elastic, just like it does for blood vessels. In fact, copper is so good at eliminating skin wrinkles that some people say copper is better at rejuvenating the face than a face lift! Beyond a natural varicose vein treatment, some people take copper as anti-aging therapy and as a hemorrhoid treatment. Remember, copper is great at fixing varicose veins that are only slightly damaged and at preventing varicose veins in this way. However, if you have a vein that is badly "varicosed," i.e. twisted, deformed, stretched, and or where the vein valve is no longer functioning well, you will likely need clinical varicose vein treatment like sclerotherapy and EVLT. These varicose vein treatments and copper work hand in hand for overall vein health.
While you can take copper supplements, it is better to get copper in its most bioavailable form from food. The best food source for copper is shellfish like oysters, mussels, clams, shrimp, crab, and lobster. The next best food sources for copper are organ meats, nuts, and seeds. Whole grains, dark leafy greens, herbs (fresh and dried), mushrooms, dried fruit, spirulina, fermented soy products, black pepper, and dark chocolate are also relatively high in copper. Keep in mind too that organic vegetables tend to have more trace minerals, including copper, because they are grown in healthier soils where more trace minerals are present.
Sea salt also contains trace amounts of copper. Thus, if you switch to sea salt, you will get an automatic constant supply of copper and other minerals important in staving off varicose vein treatment. To avoid the toxins that have accumulated in our oceans today, it's best to use sea salt mined from ancient sea beds that pre-date human pollution of our oceans. These ancient sea salts including Himalayan pink salt and "Real Salt" produced by a company called Redmond that mines the salt out of ancient sea bed in Utah.
If you call Metro Vein Centers, you can set up an appointment for a free evaluation. Metro Vein Centers is considered one of the top varicose vein treatment centers in the country. They can perform a duplex ultrasound on your veins to determine if you need varicose vein treatment like sclerotherapy or EVLT. They can also give you a prognosis on all your veins and let you know if you have some impaired veins that may be able to be repaired through a healthy diet and supplementation. If varicose veins run in your family, it will be especially important for you to stay on top of the situation. You'll want to take natural precautions, like ensuring you have enough copper in your diet, in addition to receiving varicose vein treatment that can prevent additional vein damage.
