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!
