Ions

[Guest guest]

Positive Ions vs. Negative Ions Positively charged ions in the atmosphere are the primary cause of many health and soil problems. The entire man-made atmospheric environment contributes to the excessive positive ion count. Negative ions are not present in normal numbers because the conditions that generate negative ions have been limited, overcome and/or removed as a result of our industrial activities. Tesla experimented with electromagnetic flux and studied the earth's gravitational field. During his research he discovered that the ionization of the atmosphere would alter when it was charged by radio wave transmissions in the low frequency range of 10 to 80 hertz. Tesla also discovered that he could cause both positive and negative ionization of the atmosphere by manipulating the radio frequency. Further studies indicated that with positive ionization, people and

animals became tired and lethargic and with negative ionization the effect was one of feeling active and energetic. Ions with either negative or positive charge are floating in the air around us all of the time. Changes in their concentrations or in the ratio of positively to negatively charged ions can have remarkable effects on plants and animals. It is known in science that atmospheric ion depletion is the source of a wide range of human health problems, both mental and physical. These aerial ions are important to you: in an environment with a high proportion of negative ions in the clusters you will feel lively, uplifted and enthusiastic. Too many positive ions in the clusters will have you feeling depressed, lethargic and full of aches, pains and complaints. It is estimated that there are normally 1,500 to 4,000 ions per cubic centimeter. Negative ions are exceedingly mobile and the Earth's surface has a negative charge; therefore,

negative ions are repelled from the Earth. This repulsion creates a normal ratio of positive to negative ions in the range of twelve to ten. Normally, more positive than negative ions exist. Negative ions are exceedingly beneficial for a person's metabolism as a means of enhancing human behavior. They act in a complex mechanism to bring about hormone and biochemical reactions in the body and brain. It is impossible to get an overdose of negative ions, which act like pure water in washing away dirty poisons. Generally, the more negative ions you are exposed to, the better and more uplifted you feel. Positive ions or the lack of negative ions may cause serotonin hyper-function syndrome or "irritation syndrome" involves sleeplessness, irritability, tension, migraine, nausea, heart palpitations, hot flashes with sweating or chills, tremor and dizziness. The elderly become depressed, apathetic and extremely fatigued. Human mood

disorders (depressions) are effectively treated with drugs which specifically block the re-uptake of serotonin into the presynaptic axon terminal, for example fluoxetine (Prozac) and Zoloft. This suggests that positive ions may play a part in this condition and the condition may be safely treated with negative ion therapy. Average Ions per ml Neg. Ions Pos. Ions Total Clear Mountain Air 2000 2,500 4,500 Normal Land Air 1,500 1,800 3,300 Before a Storm 750 2,500 3,250 After a Storm 2,500 750 3,250 Typical modern office 150 200 350 Closed moving vehicle 50 150 200 Just as good benefits are provided by immersing yourself in negative ions, bad effects come from breathing air with high density positive ions. As indicated in the table above, before a storm the positive ion concentration becomes more than three times the amount of negative ions. If the barometer is falling in anticipation of a storm, brace yourself. Adults, children, and animals alike react testily to such bad weather, for ahead is the kind of day that may leave you most prone to illness or accident, stupid mistakes, and irrational blowing off steam. Positive ions are responsible. The full moon increases positive ion ratios, which accounts for the strange and aggressive behavior noted by police and medical services. Studies show

that 75% of the population is noticeably and adversely affected by positive ion ratios, while increased negative ions tend to have a calming influence on these same people. There is an impressive amount of evidence that connects low barometric pressure before storms with erratic behavior. This is a time where the positive ions in the air outnumber the negative ions by a ratio of over three to one. More suicide attempts take place, greater numbers and more serious accidents occur on the highways and in factories, and an elevated incidence of fainting spells seem to beset people. An analysis of the records of some 2000 public school students showed that their "conduct" marks sagged noticeably before a storm. Positive ion air encourages increased physical discomforts ranging from headaches and nausea to the familiar rheumatic twinges that precede storms. Even the healing rate of wounds has been know to slow up, while the risk of infection accelerates.

Tension and depression are certainly more common. Conversely, negative ion air - when the weather is quite comfortable - not only stimulates morale but actually relieves certain chronic diseases. Experiments with negative ionization have shown marked improvement for sufferers from high blood pressure, asthma, and hay fever. Positive ionization contributes to the cracking of "fringe personalities," and sets off mentally ill minds. On summer dog days, when the positive ion index climbs, more neurotics slip across into pathological psychosis than at other times, psychiatrists agree. Sex crimes rise, as do all categories of crimes of violence, road rage, pilferage, bank hold ups, and shoplifting become serious commercial problems.
