| Various
forms of copper have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the
history of mankind. Today, as more information becomes available,
alternative health care and home remedies are gaining popularity. |

| Copper
is a trace element (Cu) which has been well
accepted for it's
reported healing properties and its role in defending
our bodies against infection.
Copper is known to improve the production of hemoglobin (the
main component of red blood cells),
myelin (the substance
that surrounds nerve fibers), collagen (a key component of bones and
connective tissue), and melanin (a dark pigment that colors the hair and
skin). Copper
also aids in the bodies absorption of Iron (Fe)
another important trace element. |
| |
| As a
healing metal. copper is also
used for problems
with excess fat and benefits the liver, spleen, and lymphatic system. |

As an antioxidant,
Copper (especially when combined with vitamin C) seeks
out damaging particles in the body which are
known as free radicals. Free
radicals occur naturally in the body and can damage cell walls
and interact with genetic material. Free
radicals are believed to contribute to the aging process.
Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals
and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Copper is also said to aid in the stabilization
of metabolism and can also be of
benefitt to the lungs, improving the exchange of
oxygen and filtering out pollutants. |
| Copper and
other essential trace minerals cannot be formed by the human body. These
minerals must be ingested in the diet or absorbed by the skin.
The long held theory is
based on the belief that
when
copper is placed in close proximity to skin (the largest human organ),
constant although minuscule amount of the essential
element is transferred into the skin tissue. |

The
antimicrobial properties of Copper have
been known for more than five millennia. Ancient
Egyptians used copper pipes to transport water to destroy
parasites and other water-borne pathogens. Shipbuilders have used copper
for thousands of years to keep algae from encrusting on the hulls of
ships. French vintners have used a copper sulfate compound to fight
fungus on grapevines for hundreds of years.
Cupron's technology now
makes it possible to use these powerful and wide-ranging antimicrobial
properties in new ways. |
| |
| A 2000-year history of the
antimicrobial applications of copper metals has given rise to current
efforts to determine their effectiveness in stemming infectious disease in
healthcare and other public facilities.
Recent studies have
shown that uncoated copper and copper alloys can inactivate the more
virulent strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria associated with
hospital-acquired infections (HAI), such as
Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). |
