Area of study: Santa Ana |
Results: Mother nature produces a ratio of 5 positive ions to 4 negative ions and has been doing so for millions of years. If the balance is upset and the negative ions are depleted, which takes place during Santa Ana conditions, this has an effect on many people resulting in complaints of depression, irritability, insomnia and tension. |

Area of study: Winter depression |
Results: The severity of depressive symptoms, decreased selectively for the group receiving high density treatment... THERE WERE NO SIDE EFFECTS attributable to the treatment and all subjects who responded showed subsequent relapse during withdrawl period. Treatment with a high density negative ionizer appears to act as a specific anti-depressant. |

Country: USA |
Area of Study: Ventilation Systems |
Results: Hot or cool air forced through duct work of most central heating and air conditioning systems sets up friction that results in loss of almost all the negative ions. This air with some positive ions and virtually no negative ions is forced out through vents into rooms, offices and passageways - and as it passes through the vents more friction is set up that generates and additional overload of positive ions, this will likely upset the mental and physical equalibrium of everyone, not just those of us who are ion sensitive. |

Area of Study: Physical - Performance
of Humans |
Results: After 15 minutes of daily exposure to negative ions for 25 days, signifant improvements to the state of health, appetite, and sleep of male subjects were noted. After 9 days, their work capacity increased 50% and showed 87% increase by the 25th day. |

Country: USA |
Area of Study: Sex |
Results: 25% of the population appears not to suffer at all when the ion environment is upset, that still leaves 75% of all jumans who are more or less affected even if they don't suffer as we ion sensitive people do. If a man or woman living in an urban atmosphere that is generally ion depleted also spends a day tired an irritable and generally out of sorts. That person is not likely to be either sexually stimulating or stimulated. A person who has spent all his or her bodily vitality coping with the environment at work is not likely to have much energy left over for the bedroom. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that pos-ion overdoses will affect the parts of the body that are directly involved in sexual activity. |

Area of Study: Hay Fever & Asthma |
Results: Of hundreds of patents treated, 63% experienced total or partial relief. 'They come in sneezing, eyes watering, noses itching, worn out from lack of slwwp and so miserable they can hardly walk. Fifteen minutes in front of a negative-ion machine and they feel so much better they don't want to leave.' This relief lasted for about two hours after returning to ionized conditions. |

Results: Experiments suggested that exposure to negatively ionized air might help in reducing body weight and in overcoming insomnia. |

Results: On tests with 45 humans, negative ionization gave a significant increase in performance of psychomotor tasks. |

Results: Hansel observed positively - charged air made a co-worker feel physically, mentally and emotionally depressed, whereas negatively charged air brought a physical, mental and emotional lift. |
| RESEARCHER: Tromp |
Country: HOLLAND |
Area of Study: Humans |
Results: Reported that high density of positive ions produced symptoms of dryness, burning and itching of the nose, nasal obstructions, headache, dry scratching throat, dizziness, difficulty in breathing and itching of the eyes. Further experiments showed that exposure to positive ions resulted in a rise of blood pressure, decrease of blood albumin and increase in 17 ketosteroids. |

Country: ISRAEL |
Area of Study: Humans |
Results: Even healthy people showed a decreased in alertness when exposed to positive ions. With hehg quantities of positive ions in the air, people complained of depression, irritability, insomnia and tension while undergoing negative ion treatment 80 out of 129 reported relief from serotonin complaints of tension, migraine, swellings, palpatations, dyspepsia, asthma, flushes, vasomotorhmitis, hyperperistalsis and pollaakisuna. Over a 5 year period of treating more than 500 patients, negative ionization cured 451/10 of hyperthyroid cases. |

Area of Study: Bacteria |
Results: After exposing bacteria of escherichia, protons, pseudomonas, klebsiella, staphylococci, steplococci and candida to a negative ion atmosphere, germ counts were reduced by 50% within 6 hours and 700/10 within 24 hours suggesting at negative ionization is a way of controlling disease. |
| RESEARCHER: Ecike, et al |
Country: USSR |
Area of Study: Humans |
Results: Reported on use of negative ionization to the air. This has far reaching implications for doctor's offices, children's schools and any other places where germs are known to spread. The Russian tests involved spraying bacterial cultures in aerosols then treating the same air for sixty minutes with high concentration of negative ions. Boiko reported that in such a test with a culture of M. pyogenes the viable cell count of the bacteria was so reduced that there were no survivors at all among the cells. |

Area of Study: Sex |
Results: Soyka reported that he had tracked down and questioned a building supply sales manager who lived near Lugano and whose firm had six months earlier equipped all it's offices with table-top neg-ion generators. I simply wanted to ask what effects, if any , he had noticed since the equipment had been installed. He was a quiet and thoughtful man, by no means the hearty, extroverted salesman type, and i was therefore the more astonsihed when he instantly replied: "Well, the biggest effect has been on my sex life, my wife loves it." He went on to explain that after the ionizer had been installed he felt more alert and energetic at work and since he spent part of each week driving to see clients, he had then installed a smaller ionizer in his car. Soon afterward he installed one at home in his bedroom. "I'm not saying it does anything to me physically, but it certainly gives me more energy. I used to go home tired out, too tired to do anything much but eat and sit and stare at television. But now I seem to have lots of energy left. We go out more, and my wife enjoys that and I'm not so tired when we go to bed and... well, as I said, it has done lots for my sex life and that means it helps my marriage as well. |

Area of Study: Positive Ions |
Results: Remember positive ions are not harmful to you when balanced with negative ions. The natural ration or balance of five positive ions to four negative ions is another example of mother nature trying to achieve equilibuium: Ions of both charges are vital to normal life, and the ratio seems to be as important as the total number of ions in the air. It is only when there is a depletion of one, that has ill effects on human life. |
