Why are Negative Ions So Healthy?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lenard (1915) found that when water is atomized (e.g. on impact of a
|
|||
|
|
water droplet), negative and positive charges are SEPARATED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Molecules which are torn from the surface of the water bear a
|
|||
|
|
NEGATIVE charge (small negative ions) whereas large drops or the
|
|||
|
|
entire mass of water are POSITIVE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This provided an unexpected explanation for the refreshing,
|
|||
|
|
invigorating effect of residences close to a waterfall or spring, or
|
|||
|
|
even after rain.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some of these reactions which IMPROVE WELL-BEING and physical and
|
|||
|
|
mental capacity have since become known.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1) Negative ions ACCELERATE the OXIDATIVE DEGRADATION of
|
|||
|
|
serotonin whereas POSITIVE ions have the opposite action and
|
|||
|
|
INACTIVATE the ENZYMES which BREAK DOWN SEROTONIN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) An INCREASE in the serotonin level (5-hydroxytryptamine)
|
|||
|
|
PRODUCES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
a) tachycardia,
|
|||
|
|
b) a rise in blood pressure,
|
|||
|
|
c) bronchospasm going as far as ASTHMA ATTACK,
|
|||
|
|
d) increased INTESTINAL PERISTALSIS (contractions and
|
|||
|
|
dilations of the intestines to move the contents
|
|||
|
|
onwards),
|
|||
|
|
e) increased SENSITIVITY to pain,
|
|||
|
|
f) increased AGGRESSION.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) A DECREASE in the serotonin level is CALMING and INCREASES
|
|||
|
|
DEFENSES AGAINST INFECTION (as proven with influenza 'the
|
|||
|
|
flu').

|

|
|
4) Negative ions produce an INCREASE in hemoglobin/oxygen
|
|||
|
|
affinity so that the partial oxygen pressure in the blood
|
|||
|
|
rises but the partial carbon dioxide pressure DECREASES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This results in REDUCED RESPIRATORY RATE and ENHANCES the
|
|||
|
|
METABOLISM of water-soluble vitamins.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In addition, negative ions produce an INCREASE in PH and, in
|
|||
|
|
particular, an INCREASE in the SECRETORY performance of the MUCOSA
|
|||
|
|
with an INCREASE in CILIARY MOVEMENT in the airways.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
According to the studies of Fleischer and Pantlitschko, negative
|
|||
|
|
ions probably also IMPROVE BLOOD FLOW by increasing the release of
|
|||
|
|
proteolytic enzymes with fibrinolytic activity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wordens studied the adrenals of golden hamsters kept under the same
|
|||
|
|
experimental conditions. The adrenals of animals treated with
|
|||
|
|
POSITIVE ions weighed 33% LESS than the adrenals of animals treated
|
|||
|
|
with normal respiratory air.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the other hand, the weight of the adrenals from golden hamsters
|
|||
|
|
treated with NEGATIVE ions was 29% HIGHER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Olivereau found a 30% ENLARGEMENT of adrenals in rats after 20 days
|
|||
|
|
of treatment with NEGATIVE ions. This finding suggests that the
|
|||
|
|
ability of the adrenals to produce glucocorticoids is REDUCED by
|
|||
|
|
POSITIVE ions and INCREASED by NEGATIVE ions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Considerable INCREASE in VITAL CAPACITY were observed by M.A.
|
|||
|
|
Vytchikova and A. Minkh in 1959, with the maintenance of blood sugar
|
|||
|
|
and blood oxygen levels.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thus, in a group of 9 sports students, Minkh found that ergometer
|
|||
|
|
endurance was INCREASED by 260% in 32 days compared with a normal
|
|||
|
|
control group following the INHALATION for 15 minutes DAILY of air
|
|||
|
|
enriched with 1.5 million NEGATIVE small ions per centimeter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Even before the 1976 Olympics, air ionization in the sleeping
|
|||
|
|
quarters of team members was used to improve performance in sports
|
|||
|
|
centres in the USSR and the GDR [M. Jokl, Prague].
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Studies by Altmann in 1975 clearly show that the performance of
|
|||
|
|
school children can, for example, be CONSIDERABLY INCREASED by
|
|||
|
|
changing the electrical conditions of the rooms. Comparable effects
|
|||
|
|
have also been achieved by the use of IONIZED AIR.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
According to the latest information in the fields of medicine,
|
|||
|
|
biology and meteorology, it can be definitively established that
|
|||
|
|
atmospheric ions have a biological effect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Atmospheric electrical factors are a component of our environment
|
|||
|
|
and we humans are clearly affected by ELECTRO-IONIC MICROCLIMATES to
|
|||
|
|
a far greater extent than previously imagined.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This finding acquires particular significance since, as a result of
|
|||
|
|
artificial air conditioning (e.g. atmospheric pollution, buildings,
|
|||
|
|
air-conditioning units, heating, electrical installations,
|
|||
|
|
plastics), civilized man spends 50-100% of his time in an
|
|||
|
|
UNNATURALLY CHARGED ELECTROCLIMATE.

|
|
|||
|
|
In cities, in closed rooms and in cars, etc., the proportion of
|
|||
|
|
small negative ions in the atmosphere is markedly reduced compared
|
|||
|
|
with undisturbed nature.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An atmosphere with an EXCESS of NEGATIVE ions, such as frequently
|
|||
|
|
arise under open sky, usually INDUCES a complete VEGETATIVE TURN-
|
|||
|
|
AROUND within twenty days.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In the curative phase of this total turn-around, the vegetative
|
|||
|
|
nervous system is normally RESTORED and the course of infectious
|
|||
|
|
diseases is essentially ATTENUATED (weakened) and (healing is)
|
|||
|
|
ACCELERATED.

Vangard notes...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The information in this paper provides more than sufficient
|
|||
|
|
evidence that negative ion generators can only be a good
|
|||
|
|
investment. The small decorative water fountains which cascade
|
|||
|
|
or spray are not only visually appealing, but also provide the
|
|||
|
|
pleasing sound of moving water. Now with the explanation of
|
|||
|
|
the negative charge from the rupturing of the water molecule,
|
|||
|
|
we can see how the atomizing process is a highly desirable
|
|||
|
|
effect to bring about.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many of the electronics magazines have ads in the back for
|
|||
|
|
companies which sell surplus. We have seen small plastic
|
|||
|
|
impeller pumps which could easily be built into a fountain or
|
|||
|
|
waterfall. The cost is minimal, something on the order of $5
|
|||
|
|
to $25 for the pump, plastic, plaster of paris, concrete,
|
|||
|
|
fiberglass or earth all can be used to build the fountain.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A very neat and healthful project, in fact, something which
|
|||
|
|
could make money for all you entrepeneurs. Many people would
|
|||
|
|
buy such devices if they were available for a reasonable price.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One in the bedroom, where face it, we spend at least 6 hours
|
|||
|
|
per day, one in the living room or den, where we spend up to 4
|
|||
|
|
hours or more per day. There are lots of possibilites.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For that matter, the atomizer does not have to be decorative,
|
|||
|
|
just a way to moisturize the air with the negatively ionized
|
|||
|
|
droplets. Incidentally, most modern cooling systems use
|
|||
|
|
refrigerated air which means the air is essentially
|
|||
|
|
recirculated and the majority of the moisture is REMOVED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Have fun and good health to you!
