New research: Copper stops colds if used early. New device stops a cold before it starts USA — New research shows you can stop a cold in its tracks if you take one simple step with a new de- �������������������������� cold coming on. Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. Viruses multiply fast. If you don't stop them early, they spread in your air- ways and cause misery. But scientists have found a quick way to kill a virus — touch it with cop- per. Researchers at labs and universities world- wide all agree — copper is "antimicrobial." It kills microbes, such as viruses and bacteria, just by touch. That's why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn't know about viruses and bacteria, but now we do. Researchers say mi- crobe cells have an inter- nal electric charge which copper's high conductance short-circuits. This de- stroys the cell in seconds. Tests by the Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA) show germs die fast on copper. So some hos- pitals switched to copper touch surfaces, like fau- cets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives. ���� ������� ���������� evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. When he felt a cold com- ing on he fashioned a smooth copper probe and rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds. "It worked!" he ex- claimed. "The cold went away completely." It worked again every time he felt a cold coming on. He reports he has never had a cold since. He asked relatives and friends to try it. They said it worked for them, too, every time. So he patented CopperZap™ and put it on the market. Soon hundreds of peo- ple had tried it and given feedback. Nearly 100 per- cent said the copper stops their colds if used within ����������������������������� Even up to 2 days, if they still get the cold it is mild- er than usual and they feel better. Users wrote things like, "It stopped my cold right away," and "Is it supposed to work that fast?" "What a wonderful thing," wrote Physician's Assistant Julie. "Now I have this little magic wand, no more colds for me!" Pat McAllister, age 70, received one for Christ- mas and called it "one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works." People often use Cop- perZap for prevention, before cold signs appear. ������ ������� ���� ����� often for her job, used to get colds after crowded �������������������������� she tried it several times a day on travel days for 2 �������� ��������� ������� �������������������������- claimed. Business owner Ro- saleen says when people are sick around her she uses CopperZap morning and night. "It saved me last holidays," she said. "The kids had colds going round and round, but not me." Some users say it also helps with sinuses. At- torney Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache. When her CopperZap ar- rived, she tried it. "I am shocked!" she said. "My head cleared, no more headache, no more con- gestion." Some users say copper �������������������������� if they use it just before bed. One man said, "Best sleep I've had in years."

Copper may even help ����������������������������� for several days. In a lab test, scientists placed 25 ��������������������������� a CopperZap. No viruses were found still alive soon after. The EPA says the natu- ral color change of copper does not reduce its ability to kill germs. CopperZap is made in the U.S. of pure American copper. It carries a 90-day full money back guarantee and is available for $47.
