Could colloidal copper destroy the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and/or its spike protein?

"The spikes are formed of protein building blocks called amino acids."

"We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV-1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag."

"The coronavirus needs the spike protein to infect a cell. The protein binds primarily to a receptor called ACE2 on the surface of human cells. The virus can then fuse with the cell membrane and release its genetic material into the cell.

The spike protein is not only the sharpest weapon of the virus but also its Achilles’ heel; its exposed position makes it the preferred point of attack for the immune system. Antibodies can recognize the virus by its spike protein, bind to it, and thus mark it as a target for immune cells. However, the virus has another trick up its sleeve. A sugar coat hides the conserved parts of its spike proteins from the immune cells."

"Schmidt explained that the copper dents the crown-shaped virus and then slowly releases ions that interact with oxygen and generate free radicals, or uncharged molecules that typically are highly reactive. Those free radicals create a figurative grenade that goes off and destroys the virus’ RNA."

"If instead of stealing useful metals like zinc, Johnson could deliver toxic copper to the virus’s spike proteins, it could be rendered inoperable."

"If copper proves effective in the cellular battle against COVID-19, physicians could use already existing therapeutics in tandem with copper to deliver an extra punch of toxicity to the virus"

"When a microbe lands on copper, ions blast the pathogen like an onslaught of missiles, preventing cell respiration and punching holes in the cell membrane or viral coating and creating free radicals that accelerate the kill, especially on dry surfaces. Most importantly, the ions seek and destroy the DNA and RNA inside a bacteria or virus, preventing the mutations that create drug-resistant superbugs. “The properties never wear off, even if it tarnishes,” Schmidt says"

"The effect looks like magic, he says, but at this point, the phenomena at play is well-understood science. When a virus or bacteria strikes the plate, it’s flooded with copper ions. Those ions penetrate cells and viruses like bullets. The copper doesn’t just kill these pathogens; it destroys them, right down to the nucleic acids, or reproductive blueprints, inside.

“There’s no chance of mutation [or evolution] because all the genes are being destroyed,” says Keevil."

"“Exposure to copper destroyed the viral genomes and irreversibly affected virus morphology, including disintegration of envelope and dispersal of surface spikes,” the paper reports."

"According to a study published in American Society for Microbiology, researcher Rita R Corwell From the University of Maryland, she studied the impact of coronavirus (not COVID-19) on different surfaces and found that except copper, coronaviruses survived and thrived. She stated, “Exposure to copper destroyed the viral genomes and irreversibly affected virus morphology, including disintegration of envelope and dispersal of surface spikes.”"

"The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), the maximum amount for which no harmful effect is expected, has been established for children and adults. The ULs for copper are: children 1 to 3 years, 1 mg/day; 4 to 8 years, 3 mg/day; 9 to 13 years, 5 mg/day; 14 to 18 years (including pregnancy and lactation) 8 mg/day; adults age 19 and older (including breast feeding), 10 mg/day; pregnancy age 19 and older, 8 mg/day."

"Colloidal copper is a health supplement that is similar to colloidal silver. Copper nanoparticles are suspended in purified water, and then the extract is taken orally or used topically. Proponents believe that the smaller particles of copper are absorbed more easily into the body, and are therefore more effective at treating a range of ailments."

"Colloidal Copper has been found helpful against multi-cellular parasites such as malaria, ring-worm, cryptosporidium, toxoplasma, and chronic bladder infections where bacteria have formed a multi-cellular biofilm."
