Recently my awareness was brought to a support group on Facebook that deals with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. After a short questionnaire I was accepted with a warm welcome to the group by one of the admins and other group members. On the actual site, many members introduced themselves, sharing information of what has worked for them. A small percentage has actually overcome their diseases, while others were inquiring, eager to learn how to change their stars.
So far I have downloaded what is to be my ultimate food guide, and there is much that needs to be changed in addition to eating the right foods. It can be overwhelming to say the least, but it needs to be broken down into smaller steps to see what things can be implemented now, while layering on more as I go. Copper is perhaps one of those things, and it might be holding some answers for me.
After my initial introduction, a member has commented and left a picture for me to check out the “As seen on TV – Copper Gloves.” It is said that they help with stiffness and arthritis pain and it led me to do a little more research. I found copper drinking vessels and the benefits sound quite promising. It is said that drinking water from a copper cup helps….
Kill bacteria
Stimulate the brain
Regulate the functioning of the thyroid gland
Soothe arthritis pain
Boost skin health
Slow down aging
Improve digestion
Get rid of anemia
Lower the risk of cancer and heart disease
I think all of us could benefit from this. Has anybody tried or heard of this? I would love to hear your findings.
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

Agree. Informative. My uncle wore a copper bracelet and my ex wore these knee compression sleeves that were infused with copper. It helped them relieve joint stiffness/pain. Have you thought about taking copper pills? I’ll have to read up on it.

I have not checked into copper pills yet and have to read up in that as well. I got some copper gloves you wear at night and it takes a minute to get used to going to bed with gloves. I don’t know if they help and make a big difference as far as stiffness but they are definitely soothing while you wear them.

I have tried the copper infused gloves but found they did not work. My father wore a copper bracelet for thirty years and swore by it. But, he also swore by his Buckeye that he kept in his pocket. I bought copper cups a few months ago but honestly have never tried them. I think I will start using them. Can’t hurt I suppose.

Yeah I don’t know yet either. My research is not conclusive yet and it’s hard because we are all different and different things might work on different people. Keep me posted if your try the cups. 😉

Not tried it, but we do need trace amounts of copper for health. Copper bracelets have been around since ancient times, along with many copper artifacts. Copper will kill bacteria which is why they have been uses as water pipes for many years. Copper has been tested for arthritic pain relief with inconclusive results. While lots of people feel relief, researchers were not able to rule out subjective placebo effect for many of the tested subjects. If it works for you Rhapsody, embrace it. If not, we’ll copper looks lovely as jewelry! 😍❤️❤️❤️

I found the same and my copper gloves feel soothing when I wear them overnight, but I think I still have the same amount of stiffness in the morning. Still a little win if we can feel content and catch a little break I guess. ❤️

I have heard that copper bracelets work. Ultimately though, I think that diet is key. Don’t eat foods that cause inflammation in the body such as sugar, processed foods, wheat, gluten, artificial sweeteners…etc.

You are absolutely right and diet will always be key and the number one reason. I have learned of my trigger foods that cause inflammation and stress is als also an awful culprit.
