Besides libations, copper is great for drinking water out of it as well. Filling a copper

vessel with water before bed and drinking the liquid in the morning has many health

benefits including: Benefits of copper include: improved health of hair, eyes, and skin,

being able to use iron efficiently (beats anemia), increased energy production, slowing

of the aging process, an even heart rhythm, balanced thyroid glands, increased red

blood cell production, ease of arthritic symptoms, faster wound healing, reduced

cholesterol, ability to kill bacteria (e. coli), improved digestion.

Copper is amazing (From a Classmate)

But only now does our research describe how copper and its alloys exhibit these

impressive properties and the processes involved. The process involves the release of

copper ions (electrically charged particles) when microbes, transferred by touching,

sneezing or vomiting, land on the copper surface. The ions prevent cell respiration,

punch holes in the bacterial cell membrane or disrupt the viral coat, and destroy the

DNA and RNA inside.

This latter property is important as it means that no mutation can occur – preventing the

microbe from developing resistance to copper. Global concern is growing over

antimicrobial resistance and the risk of death that it presents from common infections in

even minor operations. Therefore, it is fortunate that copper alloys kill superbugs,

including MRSA and those from the notorious ESKAPE group of pathogens – the

leading cause of hospital-acquired infections.

Transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from resistant bacteria to other bacteria is also

stopped because the genes themselves are destroyed. These destructive properties are

enhanced by the bacteria since they release small amounts of hydrogen peroxide. This

reacts with the copper ions to form ferociously reactive oxygen, which also attacks and

damages the microbes in multiple areas.

All of these laboratory studies have been translated into the healthcare environment.

Studies worldwide have shown that, with routine cleaning, when copper alloy is used on

regularly touched surfaces in busy wards and intensive care units, there is up to a 90%

reduction in the numbers of live bacteria on their surfaces. This includes bed rails, chair

arms, call buttons, over-bed tables, IV poles, taps and door handles. This also includes

handles used in gyms/fitness centers on dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells, and

attachment handles.

Studies in three hospital intensive care units in the US also showed a remarkable 58%

reduction in infection rates. So, unsurprisingly, copper alloy touch surfaces are now

being deployed worldwide in airports, trains, train stations, busses, restaurant kitchens

and gyms. The new Francis Crick Institute in London is kitted out in copper alloys,

supporting its foresight and vision as a world-leading research center for the public

good.

Some common viruses have no vaccine available, such as the winter vomiting virus

(norovirus) – the scourge of cruise ships. Others, such as influenza, mutate so rapidly

that it is difficult for vaccines to keep up – and they need to be reformulated annually.
