Wilson's disease: Lifetime medical therapy is required in patients with wilson disease, and treatment involves removing the copper already accumulated in tissues and preventing reaccumulation. Patients should consume only in moderation foods that contain high concentrations of copper (shellfish, nuts, chocolate, mushrooms, and organ meats), particularly during the first year of therapy.

Comply: Usually, oral medication with few side effects is enough to keep the illness under control. Neglecting Wilson's leads to a gruesome death, but most of these folks live normal lives on treatment.
