The fascinating health properties of copper can be traced back in ancient times, for Egyptians it has been representing the eternal life, health and prosperity. Used to treat infections and water sterilizing. Hippocrates was treating with copper (or copper and honey) open wounds and skin problems, while Romans, Aztecs, Persians, Indians and Mongols had it for ulcers and infections.

Copper does not qualify only for cables and electromagnetic applications, it also destroys (safely and successfully) more than 99.9% of all bacteria, even the tough ones like Staphylococcus aureus. And all within 10 minutes to 2 hours, as long as these harmful microorganisms come in contact with the surface of the metal. So copper excels and stands out, because no material can approach its antimicrobial effectiveness. Maybe that's why when the cholera epidemic in Paris arisen in 1832-1852 the workers in copper mines were immune to the disease. Many have also said for the strong anticancer properties of copper.

This amazing red glowing metal has amazed scientists with its natural health properties, because it literally sweeps away infectious agents found in its way. The way in which copper kills bacteria and microbes is amazing. First it pierces the outer membrane of the bacteria and then it prevents it from feeding, breathing, creating energy, multiply or even repair the damaged membrane. This means that copper destroys bacteria constantly and without wearing itself, while being perfectly safe for external use.

The only negative property of copper is when it's used for cooking food. Cooking with copper utensils is regarded as a health hazard. Their use has been abandoned a long time ago, because when copper comes in contact with acidic foods in high temperatures, it corrodes and contaminates the food with oxides causing toxic poisoning.
