  • The Romans wore copper bracers and Jєωelry because they believed it increased overall health. I think other ancient cultures did likewise. I need to get me a copper bracelet.

  • I've heard similar things about silver -- it kills a lot of germs.

    I guess that's why people used to use copper and silver for coins?
    You wouldn't spread as many germs.

    People used to drop a silver coin in their water barrels because they believed it cleaned the water. Turns out it did! Maybe we should try the same thing with copper?

  • I wonder if the properties of regular silver with regards to helping keep stuff clean is related at all the health benefits of colloidal silver...
