	It's not possible to prevent Wilson's disease and there is no cure.
	Lifelong treatment is essential because without it, Wilson's disease is fatal.
	If Wilson's disease is detected early and treated correctly, an affected person can enjoy normal health.
	A low-copper diet is important and patients need to take vitamin B6 supplements.
	Drugs such as penicillamine, zinc and pyridoxine can be used to help remove excess accumulated copper from body tissues and to prevent copper re-accumulating and damage to the nerves.
	Although these drugs may have side effects, they can dramatically improve symptoms.
