asked:

Q:
How long do I wear CopperPlast for?
A:
We recommend that CopperPlast is changed every 24 hours.
When a new CopperPlast is applied, place it on a fresh area of
skin. Some CopperPlast users tell us that they wear a patch
for longer periods than 24 hours but we would not recommend this as
the skin has been covered and needs to breath.

Q:
can it help me
A:
Copper therapy is becoming more
popular and is claimed to relieve the pain of arthritis and
rheumatism. CopperPlast
worn for at least a month
has been found to ease the aches and pains of arthritis in many
sufferers. The theory is that trace elements of copper from the
Copper Patch penetrate the skin and replaces any lacking essential copper
elements in the body. Research shows that 3 out of 4 people receive benefits from
wearing CopperPlast.

Q: How
does wearing
copper on my skin help to ease pain in other parts of my body?
A:
Research has shown that when copper is worn in contact with the
skin for a period of time, it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and
distributed throughout the body. Doctors have observed that copper reacts with perspiration to form copper
salts, it is this salt that can
penetrate the skin. This goes some way to explain the popularity of this
preventative talisman that was worn as long ago as the time of the
Ancient Romans.

Q:
How can CopperPlast possibly ease my joint and muscle pain?
A:
For many, many years, people have wondered the same thing, but
they noticed that copper really does
work. Recently studies have indicated that trace
elements of copper in the bloodstream can inhibit the growth of
mycoplasma, this is suspected of causing painful inflammation in joints.
There are other studies that estimate up to 75% of the North
American population is deficient in copper. It is suspected that
this is due to the fact that
copper is not easily absorbed by the digestive system, and
partly due to the general depletion of trace minerals in our
soils due to decades of intensive farming.

Q: Why
should I wear a copper
patch instead of a copper bracelet?
A:
There
are many reasons, the traditional copper bracelet has many disadvantages,
for a start not everyone is comfortable wearing jewelry.
Wearers of copper bracelets will be aware of the unsightly discolouration of the skin around the wrist area, additional wear and tear on cuffs and sleeves,
forgetting to wear it and the stigma attached to wearing such a bracelet
that tells everyone that you are a rheumatism or arthritis
sufferer. For one or all of these reasons the wearer often ceases use and the bracelet is discarded.
CopperPlast is convenient and discreet but most importantly of all it works more effectively as it is in constant contact with your skin.
CopperPlast
allows much better skin contact than a
loose fitting copper bracelet, allowing for more effective
transfer of copper to the body.

Q: Once I start wearing
a CopperPlast, how long does it take to work?
A:
Typically, it could take anywhere from several days to two weeks
as everyone is different.

Q:
Has there been any research to support your claims for
CopperPlast?
A:
Yes, there there has been much research carried out over
the years into copper therapy, by way of an example, here are some excerpts from an article in The Medical
Post from September 1989 entitled "Arthritis, Heart disease
linked to
copper deficiency"
Dr
Kleway, who is head of
research for the U.S.D.A. center, noticed that the mice in those
studies were on high-fat diets that did not contain any copper.
Repeating the studies using a high-fat diet, both with and
without copper, he showed that the mice with added copper lived
five times longer and did not develop cardiac abnormalities.
When a man was placed on a low copper diet (0.8mg/day,
comparable to the daily intake of copper among many Americans),
his blood cholesterol soared over 30 points, returning to
baseline only with copper supplementation".
"The U.S. Department
of Agriculture estimates that three quarters of the nation’s
population consumes less than the 2-3 mg of copper per day that
are deemed safe and adequate."
"At the Human
Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, N.D., Dr Leslie Kleway
believes landmark studies blaming dietary fat for clogging the
hearts of mice should actually have blamed a low copper diet.
"A growing body of
surprising research is giving copper a shining reputation as one
of the key links to a number of diseases ranging from arthritis
to heart disease"

Q:
What is Copper?
A:
Copper is a reddish metal that occurs naturally in rock, soil,
water, sediment, and air. Its average concentration in the
earth's crust is about 50 parts copper per million parts soil (ppm).
Copper also occurs naturally in plants and animals. It is an
essential element for all known living organisms including
humans and other animals.
