We Can Stop Hospitals Making You Sick
Around 165,000 Australians pick up infections in hospitals every year. That’s a disgrace. It shouldn’t be happening, but copper embedded hospital uniforms could soon make a big dent in the problem. Hospital infections are spread mostly by touch. They hit already sick people hard, killing around 7% or keeping them in hospital nearly 6 times […]
Copper in Human Health
Copper is one of a relatively small group of metallic elements which are essential to human health. Here’s your essential guide. Can’t Live Without It These metallic elements, along with amino/fatty acids and vitamins, are needed for normal metabolic processes. However, as the body cannot synthesize copper, the human diet must supply regular amounts for […]

All Change On Climate
A new roadmap by the Climate Council makes a lot of sense. But in any shift on energy policy we still need to keep an eye on the bottom line. The ‘Roadmap To A Renewable Future’ sets out ways we can cut greenhouse gas pollution while continuing to embrace affordable and reliable clean energy as […]
Improving Breast Cancer Treatment
New copper mesh technology SMART Armor could help protect tissue damage during breast cancer radiation treatment. A new study just published in the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics says copper is far better than lead in shielding patients during great cancer radiation. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, the […]
