Abstract
There is agreement in research reports concerning two aspects of rheumatoid arthritis: it involves malfunctions in the autoimmune system1–3 chemically it results in copper imbalances. The biochemistries of how the immune system errs and the exact details of how plasma cerulo-plasmin rises whilst low-molecular-weight copper complexes in the biofluid become depleted are not yet certain.
