A number of customers say they have tried to explain CopperZaps to friends or family, but run into lack of understanding or outright skepticism. Three recent posts have drawn a good response and seem to make it clearer.  So we combine them here, slightly edited, in hopes they may help other...

Can we eradicate respiratory illness? I developed CopperZap® in 2012 after stumbling onto some research in science journals about copper’s ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Many studies already had proved it.  Many more since then have confirmed it. I had been getting 2-3 bad colds every year.  They...

Bacteria and viruses are so small we can’t see them, but they can really mess us up. It’s hard to fight invisible enemies, but it’s easier if we visualize them and picture them in our minds. I picture these germs as tiny little blobs that take up almost no space. ...

Time is one thing we can never get back. But we CAN get more of it. As we go through life we can lose time, we can save time, or we can even gain time, by the actions we take. We lose time when we get sick. Even if we power...

Let’s refuse to participate!  Here's how. Colds and flu start when certain germs get in the nose or throat.

The season means people coughing, sniffling, sneezing, and suffering around us, and...

We thought we were almost done with Covid.  Apparently not! Covid levels are rising again to “very high” levels, says the Center for Disease Control (CDC) based on data from early this month, August 2024. There are reports of even vaccinated people catching it. EPA testing shows pure copper kills...

Most of us go through life expecting to get sick now and then. It doesn't have to be that way. Medicine cabinets are full of remedies for after we get sick. Wouldn't it be better not to get sick in the first place? That's what CopperZaps® are about – not getting sick in the...

Respiratory illnesses can spread any time, but especially when people gather together. Respiratory illnesses include colds, flu, covid, sinus trouble, mold allergies, and sleep-robbing congestion.

Rosaleen told us she worried each year when her 3 young children started back to school. She knew they would be bringing germs back home starting from the first day. She didn't want to catch colds or flu or worse. She especially didn't want her dad to catch anything.  He...

Teachers often refer to school children as "germ factories." Young noses and mouths are a perfect environment for bad germs to multiply. When bad germs are multiplying there, children are contagious. They can bring germs to school and spread them to others even a day before any sign of being sick themselves. When the...

Winter is not the only time germs can cause problems.

When people purchase a CopperZap for the first time, they usually “buy it to try it”. It works so well that many customers buy more as gifts and recommend it to friends and family. Sometimes, however, the friends or family are skeptical.  Sometimes even a spouse may be too skeptical to try it....

Outdoor projects, outdoor play, outdoor camping – summer cuts and injuries can be hard to avoid. Any break in the skin can get infected, including piercings. You must act fast to stop an infection. Have your CopperZap handy. Use it as soon as possible if you or a child or anyone...

If you have a CopperZap, you are ready. Bird flu or avian flu viruses are in the influenza family.  Tests have shown pure copper kills influenza viruses quickly by direct physical contact. As of this writing, bird flu has not yet spread much among humans, experts say, but they fear it...

Mold causes allergies, sinus problems, and sleep loss. Heavy rains and flooding create perfect conditions for mold levels to explode in the air for weeks or months. Even light rain and humidity can spread mold through the air, both outside and inside the home. The result is mold allergies, sinus...

"My son sent me a CopperZap several months ago after using one himself for over a year," wrote Judy L. "I have used after each period I've spent in a crowd and each time I've felt the beginnings of a scratchy throat and sneezing, stuffed nose etc.," she reported. "I...

This warning about gyms came from MDVIP, an organization of medical doctors: "Joining a fitness center is one of the easiest, most convenient ways to get a well-rounded workout. But exercisers sneeze, cough and breath hard (expelling airborne droplets of germs), leaving most gyms and studios teeming with bacteria and...

"When bacteria make their way into wounds, they literally threaten life and limb," says Scientific American. Bacteria can quickly infect any bleeding injury.
