Many years ago, when I was a kid, someone said that if you put a copper penny on a bee sting, the pain will go way. So, one day a honey bee stung me and I put a copper penny on the spot and the pain REALLY did go away instantly! For that reason, I have a copper bracelet soon coming in the mail and will see if it will help me with my insomnia, as some claim it will. Nice video, btw!

[@xlilnetx]

Did it work

[@tmwest4937]

I will have to try that with fire ant stings!

Wrap copper wire around a wooden stick and put it in the ground next to your plant or in a pot outside and it will help it grow good and fast!!

[@kgod-getmysoulright2211]

yes! electro culture works 100% ! I used it in my garden and I've never seen my plants grow so fast and strong before truly incredible

I bought some copper at Lowe’s, made me a plane copper bracelet for both arms and for each ankle as I suffer from an autoimmune disease that at times almost cripples me, swells my ankles and fingers. I wore them for 2 weeks and honestly thought I was cured, I started taking magnesium and vitamin B1 and I grounded my bed to the earth. But when I took them off and lost them, and ungrounded my bed ( I was cleaning my sheets and just didn’t re- do it) I started having the horrible swelling, unbearable joint pain and just felt horrible. So I truly believe it helps to wear copper. I since re-made bracelets and I’m not gonna stop wearing them. Placebo or not, It works for me!

[@stevengonzalez7729]

I did similar with copper from Home Depot. Using 12 gauge and 10 gauge wire sold by the ft I made brackets with beads some without, some rings, necklaces, and anklets. I went two weeks without wearing anything after wearing all summer and those two weeks all ailments came back. Possible torn Achilles or severe pull that injury healed practically gone and all my shoulder pain is gone unless I go extended period without wearing anything.

Copper bracelets have been used as an ancient remedy to reduce the pain and swelling associated with arthritis. The theory is based on the idea that the skin absorbs tiny particles of copper, helping regrow lost joint cartilage but also to its great conductivity which helps significantly to improve circulation and to fight bacteria.

There is no placebo effect to the copper bracelet, its a reality that it do works. I work in the home improvement field and often times get hurt or injuries to the shoulders, risk or fingers and its that copper bracelet that I made and ring, that has avoid me from spending countless money on doctor bills. It does work.

You have to wear it alternatively You also have to ground it at least 12 hours Take it off at night

[@ingridinthis3d5dnow25]

Funny you think wearing copper is just a placebo effect. I was began getting arthritis in my fingers... I created & started wearing copper rings on both my middle fingers of my hands, now for over a year. Not only did my joints start feeling better, but all of my fingers are nice and flexible with no pain.

Thank you! I have to try this on my index finger it won't bend anymore due to arthritis

Back in the day my brother got ringworm at school. My part American Indian grandma soaked a copper penny in white vinegar and rubbed it on my ringworm and it went away in a couple of days. This procedure is not permitted today. I hadn't started school yet anyways. Now the protocol is go to the doctor and get a prescription and quarantine at home for 7 days.

[@mantrehatashband3884]

Dr. Joe, thank you for this video. I have been using my copper vessel daily for many years and I can truly say it has transformed my digestion. I, was even shocked by its effects. I hope one day there will be funding to conduct research on the positive effects of using a copper vessel. There is a reason why it's been around and used for hundreds of years.

[@wanttobeasage2952]

I did a slate roof years ago, used copper flashing. Every were on the roof there is fungus and mold growing except were the flashing is, it inhibited the growth. I believe trace amounts of copper are absorbed and inhibit the cause of inflammation in the joints. Been making and wearing a copper wrist bracelet for about a month, a greenish coloration does form were the copper makes contact with the skin. It is very conductive also, has a resistivity of over six, not much less than silver and gold, but quickly reacts with oxygen and tarnishes. Were would we be without copper wire, a extremely important invention. Pennies are 97% zinc from about 1997 or so. Thanks for the information.

If you line the interior of a copper vessel with another material, then the benefits of drinking in copper vessel are no longer present! Am I right?

[@MsPsychobanana]

That's is what he said, so you are right too.

Never put a warm drink in a copper cup. I did it once not realizing and it tastes horrible

Up to World War One we drank from copper and brass cups. Everything was copper or brass. Cooking pots, pans, cutlery etc. our ancestors drank and ate using metals like these and they were fine.

[@grahamlister214]

Copper bracelets rarely join at the ends... therefore they become a dipole. Amongst the other things.. You do the research

[@akivatalansky]

I believe that chocolate is a good source of copper. Just get a healthy chocolate bar that doesn't have too much sugar or additives.

[@titan2012able]

One could get in theory minute amount of copper from bracelet;but one can get plenty of copper in form of a compound/salt put on the skin. I used to put copper compound (Copper acetate or copper citrate)on my skin foot and then I felt overdosed on copper;after a few hours I felt heavy loaded with copper and intoxicated,then I went to the shower and washed my feet. I was all the day feeling pain in my muscle and my heart was heavy and almost stopped. I think that happed because I put to much copper salt (diluted in water) on my feets skin.

My friend a colonel in the Air Force had aches and pains in his joint. He purchased a copper bracelet, and he said those pains went away. I believe he’s been wearing it 10 years now they haven’t come back.

[@lyricusx2900]

It's not a placebo effect. Cooper heals the body.

[@jamespavey1371]

I agree. Just because modern science has not much info on it (which they do) doesn’t mean it’s not valid. Romans and Egyptians used to wear metal knowing you absorb it in micro doses. Which is well documented. Modern science has abit of an aversion to looking at old knowledge. Funny because Tesla and George lakhovsky got all there science from old knowledge.

😮A bracelet in biomagnitic field of the body works like a solenoid with 1 spiral that induces a electric field by it self . This is elementary notion of electromagnetism . Ancient jewelry were in spiral shape -solenoids, not by chances .So, is always more than placebo

Copper toxicity in the body makes you prone to EMF(electricity)..That gives a lot of nightmares caused by electricitity that penetrate the right brain (area of dreams). They are man made dreams if you have excess conductive metals. Their frequency is 300MHz and penetrates the brain up to 7 cm, enough to give you dreams.

[@stellaopore8600]

Need more info on this please

[@acacianorison]

@@stellaopore8600 99% of dreams are man made made by electricity here are the values: The frequency in Hertz of the dreams are around 300Mhz for the high and around 7 hz for the low value. The electric field values on my sleeping bed of each dream range from 40-70 v/m a set of 4 or 5 values before the peak which can be usually around 120 V/m and can go up to 400 V/m if they want to wake you up or shake your heart.
