For years researchers have advised consuming more alkaline
foods,( i.e. vegetables and some fruits with a higher pH) is
beneficial to your health. If you have an acidic
pH, (i.e. lpwer pH) balance of the body, on the other hand, it is
likely that you`ll feel weak and susceptible to sickness. What is the cause
of Acidosis of the blood? Essentially it comes as a result of the loss of
electrons. It can be prevented by an influx of negative electric Ions which
contain an abundant amount of electrons needed to improve the body's immunity
and resistance to illnesses. Acidosis of the blood is the reason negative
electric Ions products are becoming a more regular part of the consumer’s
regimen toward better health.
Metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients from
the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely important to the
human cells. The more Negatively Charged Electric Ions there are in the
blood, the more efficient the cell's metabolic processes.
On the contrary, the more Positively Charged Ions,( i.e. free
radicals) there are in the blood, the slower and less efficient the cell's
metabolism. This causes the body's cells to become weak and the body will
tend to get sick more easily and age faster. It will cause the body`s immune
system to completely dhut down.
The key then is to encourage
the production of Negative Electric Ions and the reduction of Positively
Charged Ions. Researchers experiment on electric ions
and the permeability of the cell membrane. In the experiment, skin was used
to exemplify the cell membrane. When positively charged ions were permeated
into the surface of the skin, its pores and sweat glands began to contract.
However, when Negative Electric Ions were permeated into the surface of the
skin, its pores and sweat glands expanded, which demonstrates good metabolism
of the cell membranes. This phenomenon is called Prototype Plasma Membranes
of Dermal Reflectivity. European scientists also conducted research regarding
the influence of ions to the human body. They proposed the following
hypothesis - Negatively Charged Ions are beneficial to the human body in four
major ways; 1.It helps to strengthen the functions of autonomic nerves 2.
reinforces collagen (tissues that are resilient and tension-related 3.
improves the permeability of the cell's prototype plasma membranes (improves
metabolism), and 4. strengthens the body's immune system.
The human body is surrounded by ions; therefore, the function
of electrons inside and outside the cells has significant influence on the
human body. It makes the body strong if good ions are taken. When the amount
of Negative Electric Ions contained one cc of air inhaled reached 5,000 to
50,000, it strengthens the body's resistance and immunity; and when the
amount of Negative Electric Ions contained in one D.C. of air reached 100,000
to 500,000, it relieves illnesses. Negatively Charged Electric Ions in our
body are essential in sustaining and improving our health. Whereas 85% of the
Negative Electric Ions are absorbed from our skin, only 15% is inhaled and
absorbed through our lungs. (quoted from page 56 of Negatively Charged
electric Ion Treatment, issued by Youth Publishing)
Negative ions are beneficial to human body in four major ways:
Reprinted from "Economy Daily News" - January 30, 2002
- Strengthen the
functions of autonomic nerves
- Reinforces
collagen (tissues that are resilient and tension-related)
- Improves the
permeability of the cell's prototype plasma membranes (improves
metabolism)
- Strengthens
the body's immune system
(Note: Mitochondria can be called the "powerhouse"
of the cell. Most living organisms use food and oxygen to make ATP/energy in
a process called cellular respiration. Most of cellular respiration takes
place inside the mitochondria)
Negative ion regeneration for youthfulness and longevity
by John Heinerman, Ph.D.
Negative ions neutralize pollutants and provide positive
effects on health to
- Stimulate the
reticulo-endothelial system, a group of defense cells in our bodies that
marshal our resistance to disease
- Act on our
capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen. Negative ions in the bloodstream
accelerate the delivery of oxygen to our cells and tissues
- Speed up
oxidation of serotonin (5-hydroxtryptamine) in the blood. This is well
known to have far reaching effects on mood, pain relief and sexual
drive.
How Negative Ion Affects the Human Body?
Dr. Robert O. Becker, pioneering researcher and author of the
book, The Body Electric and Cross Currents, has established that energy
system within our bodies consists of two forces, magnetism and electricity,
with the electricity component consisting of low-frequency direct-current
(DC) electric field. This electromagnetic energy system is affected by the
earth's natural electromagnetic environment, which is normally relatively
quiet, with minor rhythmic variations, but which experiences great increase
in an electromagnetic charged environment.
Numerous studies have established the effect of Negative
Charged Ion environment on the human body. The negative charged environment
has stimulated the body's own healing mechanism in the case of stress and
specific physical problems.
Increase blood flow with resultant increased oxygen-carrying
capacity, both of which are basic to help the body healing itself;
Changes in migration of calcium ions which can either bring
calcium ions to heal a broken bone in half the usual time, or can help move
calcium away from painful, arthritic joints;
The pH balance (acid/alkaline) of various body fluids. (Often
out of balance in conjunction with illness or abnormal conditions)
Hormone production from the endocrine glands can be either
increased or decreased by Negative Ion stimulation;
Altering of
enzyme activity and other bio-chemical processes.
Studies Providing Effectiveness of Negative Ions:
U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found that ionizing a room
led to 52% less dust in the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since many
of the pollutants found in the air reside on floating dust particles).
The USDA also performed another study to test the
effectiveness of negative ionization at removing airborne Salmonella
Enteritidis. The negative ions drastically reduced the airborne salmonella
particles, prompting the following statement from the USDA:
"These results indicate that negative air ionization can
have a significant impact on the airborne microbial load in a poultry house
and at least a portion of this effect is through direct killing of the
organisms."
Agriculture Research Service (of USDA)
The Agriculture Research Service of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture tested the
effectiveness of ionizers for removing dust in a poultry hatchery. The dust
level is very high in such an environment. In this study, the use of an
ionizer resulted in dust removal efficiencies that averaged between 81.1 ~
92.2%. The airborne transmission of salmonella (to the eggs) was also
significantly reduced as a result. (Summary of Study:
http://www.nalusda.gov/ttic/tektran/data/000008/54/0000085456.html
Journal of Hygiene
Scientists showed that ionization reduced bacterial levels in burns and
plastic surgery units by over 96% after a two-week period, which results in
much better and more rapid healing of patients.
Journal of Applied Microbiology
The use of negative ions was even found by scientists to reduce the presence
of airborne viruses by about 40%. A study featured in the 1987 issue also
showed the negative ions are free from any adverse side effects.
Science
A 1976 study featured in this publication provided evidence that negative
ions can have a biologically lethal effect on airborne microorganisms.
Journal of Hygiene
A 1979 study found that using negative ionization in the air protected
chickens from airborne infection of the deadly Newcastle Disease Virus.
Journal of Food Protection
A 2001 study found that airborne negative ionization was highly effective at
destroying airborne and surface salmonella.
Effect of Negative Ions on Drivers
A study by Toyota Central R & D Labs, Inc. found that negative ions can
improve fatigue and cognition of drivers. (Copy of study - PDF File

Negative Charged Ions are Effective in Treating Cancer (Cited
from High-Voltage Treatment published by Youth Publishing)
In 1950; Dr. Haskell applied Negatively Charged Ions to patients of
Hypertension. Amazingly, Negative Ions were proven to have a positive effect
in lowering one's blood pressure, while no beneficial effects were observed
with Positive Ions. Negative Ions are also effective against influenza,
asthma and especially bronchial disease. Another study done by the University
of Frankfurt involved a "Cancer Team" in order to further study the
physical effects of Negative Ions to cancer cells. Different types of cancer
cells were transfused into the bodies of mice. In order to have a base of comparison,
one group of mice was put into a negative ion environment each day while the
other group remained untouched. As a result, the mice in the negative ion
environment lived, on average, for 59 days, while the mice that were
untreated lived no longer than 34 days. The mice from the experimental team
lived 25 days longer; some even lived as long as 80 days! The experiment's
result confirms the effectiveness of Negative Ions in treating cancer.
Other Negative Ion Benefits
Asthma, Allergies, and other Respiratory Problems and Illnesses. Many
scientific studies have been conducted over the years (mostly in Europe and
Russia) showing how exposure to high levels of negative ions drastically or
significantly reduce asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as
respiratory-related illness.
Studies have also shown a link between negative ion treatment
and benefits for the following:
Migraine Headaches
Inhaling negative ions regulates the production of serotonin inside the
brain. The overproduction of serotonin inside the brain is the cause of
migraine headaches.
Depression
A study at Columbia University suggested that negative ion treatment is more
effective than anti-depressant drugs such as Prozac and Zolof, and there are
no side effects with negative ions.
Fatigue
The overproduction of serotonin (chemical produced inside the brain) also
causes fatigue, and negative ions regulate the production of serotonin inside
the brain.
Sleep
A study in France found that negative ionizers helped people to sleep better,
by regulating the production of the chemical serotonin in the brain.
Mental Performance and Concentration
Several tests have shown people exposed to negative ion treatment perform
much better in mentally-oriented activities than those who are not.
Physical Performance
Due to test results performed by Russian scientists, negative ionizers were
always installed in the locker rooms and resting places for the Russian
athletes.
Burns
Studies performed in one hospital found that burn
patients were far more likely to recover more quickly and thoroughly.
Negative Ions for Alternative Ideals in Health, Science, and
Medicine
- Negative ions
ACCELERATE the oxidative degradation of serotonin whereas Positive ions
have the opposite action and inactive the enzymes which break down
serotonin.
- An INCREASE in
the serotonin level (5-hydroxytryptamine) produces:
- tachycardia,
- a
rise in blood pressure,
- bronciospasam
going as far as asthma attack,
- increased
intestinal peristalsis (contractions and dilations of the intestines to
move the contents onwards),
- increased
sensitivity to pain,
- increased
aggression.
- A DECREASE in
the serotonin level is calming and increasing defenses against
infections (as proven with influenza 'the flu').
- 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 reducing respiratory rate and enhancing 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 cilliary movement
in the airways
