Chemical Secrets of Copper water: Immunity, Fertility
Chemical Secrets of Copper water: Immunity, Fertility
- Dr.Shirish Bhate
Copper can destroy undesirable Virus and bacteria. It is interesting that ayurveda new this, when bacteria were unknown to science. Ayurveda recommends storing water in Copper Vessels. Ancient Egyptians used Copper Vessels to keep water fresh. Even today, management of Siva temple at Rameswaram uses large sized Copper vessels to store water brought from river Ganges to offer to lord Siva. Water, stored thus, stays fresh for years together. According to scientists, copper vessel can be the answer to kill the `E-Coli' bacteria which causes food poisoning. British scientists are carrying out research on copper and concluded that copper ions kill these harmful bacteria, a capability not found in any other metals including gold. It is interesting to see that a research group from Southampton University found that Coli 157 bacteria can live happily in stainless steel vessels for months together, while copper vessel at room temperature can kill them in just four hours. At 20 deg centigrade, in the stainless steel vessel, those bacteria live for 34 days, while in brass vessel they live for 4 days.
Thus if one uses copper vessels for storing water in factories, shops, hospitals, restaurants, we can get rid of the risk of these food poisoning bacteria. Though stainless steel is much used for its shine and cleanliness, the copper is more useful material for vessels. In Scotland alone, in 1997, 500 were sick by water poisoning by E-Coil bacteria, out of which 20 died.
Copper and Fertility
The advantages of drinking
copper
water was pointed out by Andrew Saul, Contributing Editor for
the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, while speaking on
fertility, conception and family planning. In his own words, -
" If you want to conceive, try having the man take mega doses of
vitamin C for a few weeks prior. At least 6,000 milligrams a day,
and as much as 20,000 mg/day guarantees very high sperm production.
Divide the dose throughout the day for maximum effect. And that
effect is what, exactly? More
sperm,
stronger
sperm, and better swimming
sperm
all occurred, at even lower daily C doses, in a University of Texas
study. Take more C and you'll make vast quantities of super
sperm.
You think this won't work? Have I shown you my baby pictures?
Here's more: zinc and plenty of it helps the
prostate and
increases seminal fluid production. There is a scientific literature
a mile long about zinc and
male fertility. About five to ten times the RDA (Recommended
Daily Average) will do it. That is approximately 50 to 100 mg of
zinc daily. For best absorption and best results, divide the dose
into two, or better yet, four doses. Zinc gluconate is well
absorbed, and zinc monomethionine better still. These are available
at any health food store without a prescription.
A lot of wussy nutritionists will tell you that such levels of zinc
are harmful. Truth is, most men don't even get the puny RDA of zinc,
set laughingly at 10 or 12 milligrams. Zinc lozenges for the common
cold are many times higher than this. Up to 550 mg of zinc has been
safely given daily for a few weeks.
Continued high doses of zinc can produce a copper deficiency, and
sometimes a copper deficiency anemia. This is very easy to
compensate for. To begin with, most Americans have
copper water
pipes in their homes. Drink a glass or two of cold water first out
of the tap every morning and you'll get copper. Secondly, eat more
raisins and
other copper-high foods. Third, take a multiple vitamin (as you
should be doing anyway) with copper in it. Finally, do what those
sexpots in India have been doing for thousands of years. Buy a
copper metal cup, fill it with cold water at bedtime, and drink it
first thing the next morning. Make this Ayurvedic routine you
routine, and start knitting booties.
I have worked with supposedly "infertile" people who have tried
"everything" to conceive a child. Nutrition, especially the vitamin
C part, is not even mentioned in any fertility textbook I've ever
seen. I've received some nice postcards from couples who have taken
an odd idea or two of mine and gotten pregnant within a month or
two. It is a wonderful feeling, by the way, to have helped them
bring a soul to the Earth."
The author of this post recommends eating raisins or
dates to his
diabetes patients also. The words of Andrew Saul clearly point
how copper water can minimize copper deficiency anemia. It is also
seen that copper water becomes "sharp" and gets readily absorbed by
our body, reaches cells in about 45 minutes. Hence, it is generally
recommended that after Ushapan (Drinking water in morning) , one
should give a gap of 45 minutes before taking tea or coffee. Copper
water is also recommended to people suffering from vitiligo, where
it helps formation of melanin.
After starting on copper water, many do not need cold water to
satisfy the thirst. With
yoga, pranayama and other breathing techniques, senses become so
sharp that taste and quality of water can be sensed adequately.
Though copper water is slightly ionic, it does not cause gastric
acidity to increase. On the other hand, due to increased Agni and
digestion, acidity reduces.
