18 Claims

1. A composition for treating at least one condition caused by a virus comprising a copper ion solution, the copper ion solution comprising:

a. copper ions, wherein the copper ions are present in the copper ion solution in a concentration sufficient to treat the at least one condition caused by the virus, and wherein the virus is a coronavirus;

b. a saline solution; and

c. a buffer;

wherein the copper ion solution is formed by a process comprising:

i. placing a solid copper metal in a solution comprising saline and the buffer;

ii. allowing the solid copper metal to remain in the solution for a predetermined period of time during which the solid copper metal leaches into the solution; and

iii. removing the solid copper metal from the solution after the predetermined period of time.
