Here's what the experts have to say……

Pioneering ion researcher Dr.Albert Krueger of University of California states "In negative ion-rich air, psychoneurotic and somatic complaints disappear, viral & bacterial growth is inhibited, and burns heal faster with less scarring…… plus there are no detrimental side-effects from negative ions in any dosage"

Prof. Sulman of Jerusalem University has found negative ions to reduce blood pressure, control histamine and activate the celia to filter out dust effectively.

A study at Columbia University suggested that negative ions act as anti-depressants but without the side-effects of drugs.

A recent year-long study conducted at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, UK concluded that negative ions greatly reduced infections in the ICU and wards. Dr Kevin Kerr, lead clinical microbiologist, said: "Acinetobacter infections are very difficult to treat as the bacterium is resistant to all antibiotics. Ionisers may become a powerful weapon against hospital-acquired infection."

Dr.Hawkins at Surrey university discovered a 75% reduction in headaches when the air was ionized in a computer suite. Researchers also identified that negative ions lead to improved mental alertness, while positive ions cause headaches, lethargy, tension, irritability and discomfort. With T.Barker he also found negative ions to affect human Bio-Rhythms increasing concentration, overcoming lethargy and fatigue. It was also found that a significant number of Asthma, migraine and hay fever sufferers experienced dramatic relief with the use of an ionizer.

Dr.Andrade Professor NIMHANS Bangalore has this to say: "IONAIRE has been found to effectively reduce symptoms of serotonergic irritation, and to improve intellectual functioning. It also reduces the risk of colds, airborne infections, dust-related allergies and even asthma."

According to ion-researcher Charles Wallach: "The issue of potential health hazards (VDT Operator Distress) stemming from the use of computers has been with us for some time...............To counter this, it is necessary to introduce enough negative ions into the critical air space with an ionizer"


Further proof…..More Studies Proving Effectiveness of Negative Ions

Ions & Computers
In the context of common and expanding computer use, computer related health risks assume considerable importance.The threat of serious and insidious injury comes from the VDU terminal............ A small desk-top personal ionizer can counteract the depletion of negative ions caused by the VDU "

Ions & Air-conditioning
Workplace consultants, Jukes Associates have shown that air-conditioned work environments can be transformed, producing massive reductions in symptoms and sickness levels just by improving the air quality through proper ionisation.

Ions & Drivers
A study by Toyota Central R & D Labs found that negative ions can improve fatigue and cognition of drivers.

Ions & Wellbeing
A high negative ion exposure was associated with feeling better about self, less sensitive, and more responsive and energized.

- From August, 1982 issue of Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine.

Ions & Bacteria
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 which proved that 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 and at least a portion of this effect is through direct killing of the organisms."

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. 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 micro organisms.

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.

University of Medicine and Pharmacy (Romania)
A test on male rats showed that just moderate levels of negative ions increased the resistance of the rats, reducing or eliminating the effect of some chemicals.
