It is well known that the luek as well as exeess of ehemieal elements in human organism leads to serious problems in health disorder. The knowledge eoneerning an elemental status of the human organism is very informative from the point of the right medieine diagnose. Therefore a lot of doetors use this information in their praetiee.

Copper is the third most abundant trace element in humans, after iron and zinc (Underwood, 1977). It is critical to a variety of proteins with functions ranging from electron transfer to oxygen transport to active chemistry, such as insertion of oxygen in a substrate. Table I is a selected list of copper-containing proteins.
