"Cupron Delivers Copper-Based Technology Products from Israel and North Carolina"
"copper-based technology to help address many important personal and medical issues. Cupron's use of the technology's anti-bacterial properties enables their manufactured socks, towels, and other garments to remain fresh and odor-free. Their pillowcases have been proven to reduce wrinkles during sleep, as the copper technology helps the body naturally produce the collagen that has been depleted over time. Using tiny pellets introduced at the early stage of manufacturing, textiles, fabrics and polymers like plastic and other "soft-surfaces" can all easily be Cupronized, they say.
According to company officials, copper has been used for thousands of years to enhance the quality of life. The ancient Phoenicians and Egyptians used it to sterilize water and prevent fouling of their boats. *snip*
Gabbay discovered that copper in its natural form - copper oxide - acts as an anti-microbial, effectively deactivating viruses, fungi and bacteria with no adverse effects. He later found that the copper oxide is also completely environmentally-

It is thought the metal 'suffocates' germs, preventing them breathing. It may also stop them from feeding and destroy their DNA.
Lab tests show that the metal kills off the deadly MRSA and C difficile superbugs.
It also kills other dangerous germs, including the flu virus and the E coli food poisoning bug. ++++
Professor Tom Elliott, the lead researcher and a consultant microbiologist at the hospital, said: 'The findings of 90 to 95 per cent killing of those organisms, even after a busy day on a medical ward with items being touched by numerous people, is remarkable."
The healing power of copper has been recognised for thousands of years.
More than 4,000 years ago, the Egyptians used it to sterilise wounds and drinking water and the Aztecs treated skin conditions with the metal.
The ancient Greeks also knew of its benefits. Hippocrates, sometimes called 'the father of medicine', noted that it could be used to treat leg ulcers.
Today, copper is a common constituent in medicines including antiseptic and antifungal creams. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Many of those with arthritis wear copper bangles.
Although they provide relief to many, there is no scientific evidence that they work.
Copper is present in our diet in trace amounts and plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells and in keeping our blood vessels, nerves and bones healthy.
The research was funded by the copper industry.
