Natural
surroundings in vicinity of mountains, near confluence of rivers (and
waterfalls) promote mental well being (provides enlightenment.)
For meditation
and prayers natural surroundings were recognized as more desirable by Vedas.
Now modern
scientific researchers are not only validating this Vedic wisdom, but have also
found and developed technologies to
create such environments in homes, hospitals and work places to enhance
cheerful temperaments, faster healing in
hospitals and less mental fatigue at workplaces.
Nature generates negative ions.
Why do we feel so good walking in the woods, on a beach or near
a river, breathing fresh air in the mountains, or just breathing fresh air
after rain or storm? Simple…We feel like that due to benign properties of
negative ions that are so abundant in these environments.
- Negative
ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain resulting in higher
alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy.
- Negative
ions help recovery from physical exhaustion and fatigue – achieved by
increasing oxygen levels in the blood.
- Negative
ions stabilize brain function – effect - relaxation and calmness.
- Negative
ions aid in blood purification by increasing the levels of calcium and
sodium (healthy salt intake) in the blood stream, negative ions help
restore a healthy (slightly alkaline) pH balance to the blood.
- Negative
ions increase metabolism by stimulating exchange of electronic substances
in cells.
- Negative
ions strengthen immune system - high levels of negative ions promote
production of globulin (proteins that are found extensively in blood
plasma) in the blood, resulting in stronger resistance to illness.
- Negative
ions balance autonomic nervous system by balancing the opposing
sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.
- Negative
ions promote better digestion - by counteracting over-arousal of the
sympathetic nervous system, negative ions help ease tension in the stomach
and intestines, promoting the production of digestive enzymes and
enhancing digestion.
- Negative
ions promote cell rejuvenation by revitalizing cell metabolism, negative
ions enhance vitality of muscle tissue and strengthening internal organs.
Approaching it scientifically:
When an atom (or molecule; more than one atom together) contains
one more electron than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
Negative ions are atoms or molecules with one or more electrons..
Positive ions are atoms or molecules with one or more protons.
Negative ions can be found in the most natural areas, such as:
waterfalls, beaches, fresh country and pine forests.
Research from leading institutions, along with thousands of
worldwide studies, concur that negative ions are beneficial for us and positive
ions are not!
Dr. Svante August Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist who received the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903, discovered that waterfalls and forests are
full of negative ions. That is why the air is so fresh.
Dr. Phillip Eduard Anton Lennard, at the turn of the 20th
century, Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, confirmed that negative ions are found
in very high density in the basin of waterfalls where we feel especially
refreshed and re-energized.
Dr. Jacob, Professor of Physiology with the Public Sanitation
Institute of Harvard University acclaims negative ions as "Vitamins of the
Air"
Negative Ions - Vitamins of the Air?
by Don Strachan and Jim Karnstedt
When certain kinds of winds begin to blow throughout the
world, hospital admissions, suicides, and crime rates skyrocket . One country-
Switzerland- even accepts the blowing of the "Foehn" during the
commission of a crime as mitigating evidence in court.
These "notorious" desert and sea winds are also
linked to minor illnesses and malaise epidemics. Victims’ claims range from
sleeplessness, irritability, tension, migraine, nausea, palpitations and hot
flashes with sweating or chills, to tremor, vertigo, swelling, breathing
difficulty, and frequent intestinal movement. In addition, elderly persons are
affected with depression, apathy, and fatigue.
What causes these "witches’ winds," as they’re
often called, to differ from others? What do they possess or lack that make
them a dread to the lands or oceans they blow across?
Nothing more than an ambulance of invisible, minute
particles with an imperceptive electrical charge- positive and negative ions.
According to the experts, positive ions rob us of our good
senses and dispositions, while their stimulating everything from plant growth
to the human sex drive.
For the uninitiated ions are charged particles in the air,
formed when enough energy acts on a molecule- such as carbon dioxide , oxygen,
water, or nitrogen- to eject an electron. The displaced electron attaches
itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negative ion- neg-ion. The
original molecule (minus an electron) is now a positive ion- pos-ion. These
ions, in turn, react with dust and pollutants to form larger ions. Small
neg-ions -usually no more than 12 gaseous molecules clustered around a charged
atom or molecule- are short-lived and highly mobile.
As long as 1789, the Abbe Bertholon, a European monk,
speculated that ions exist and affect people. He recorded the responses of
medical patients and normal people to changes in the electrical state of the
ambient air. More than a century later, in 1899, two scientists named Elster
and Geital proved the existence of ions. Only since the 1930s have researchers
been probing their secrets.
In nature, ions are formed in a variety of ways. About
half are created by radioactive gases. Radioactive substances in the soil,
cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, air flow friction, falling water and plants all produce
the other half. For example, they stream off the leaves of plants, most notable
pines and asparagus ferns.
Ions are apparently also created by the phenomenon of
"subterranean suspiration." As Fred Soyka, author of The Ion Effect,
told the first Ions and Light Conference held this summer in Atherton,
California. "Solar and lunar influences cause the water table to rise,
forcing air out of the earth." This prompted Federal Aviation
Administration research psychologist, Bruce Rosenberg, to charge the earth with
having "bad breath." Being negatively charged, he said, "it
breathes positive ions."
Normally only about one atom in 100,000,000,000,000,000 is
ionized, making a total of maybe 1000-2000 ions per cubic centimeter (that’s
like a handful of planets floating in a circle 4 billion miles in diameter).
These are usually balanced pretty evenly between positive and negative, with a
slight edge toward positive. "However, the normal may not be the
optimal," Fred Soyka told New Realities. "On the seashore, where
water is always falling, you have about 2000 negative to 1000 positive. That
seems to be the ratio that human beings respond to most favorably."
We have all experienced this positive effect, regardless
of our proximity to waterfall or the ocean. Every home has a built-in, natural
ionizer- the shower. Our daily bath rituals are, in effect, the practice of
preventive medicine. Research has shown that falling water creates thousands of
negative ions by splitting otherwise neutral particles of air, freeing
electrons to manifest their vitalizing function. These electrons join up with
smaller air particles, thus giving them a predominantly negative charge.
Waterfalls have always been the
favorite habitat of mystics and artists. The inspiration and romance generated
at places like Niagara Falls and Yosemite have a direct relationship to the
lowering of serotonin levels in the blood, caused by the waves of negative ions
from the spray of these falls.
Those notorious desert and sea winds mentioned previously
raise the ion count, but over-balance the positive- up to a ration of 33 to 1
positive. As the winds blow through arid areas, they stir up dust and the
neg-ions are leeched out. In Israel such winds are called the Sharav; in the
Alps the Foehn; along the Mediterranean the Sharkiye (called the Sirocco in
Italy and the Xlokk in Malta); in Africa the Simoon, France, the Mistral.
There’s the Boras of the Adriatic, the Karaburan of the Gobi, the Zondi of
Argentina, the Tramontana of Spain. In the U.S., the Chinook plagues the
Rockies and the Santa Ana the southern California desert. Still other winds
pos-ionize India and Australia. But whatever their name, throughout the world,
they are known to blow no good.
One might postulate that the culprit is really humidity, wind
or temperature changes, not positive ionization. That has been considered, but
doesn’t account for the fact that weather-sensitive people react to the
approaching Sharav 12 to 24 hours before meteorological instruments do.
Positive ionization remains the culprit. So much for natural pos-ions.
The really lethal doses of pos-ions lie within our
polluted cities, which William Radley, president of Bio-Environmental Systems,
refers to as "ion prisons." Car exhausts, factory fumes, tire dust,
cigarette smoke, cooking and heating fumes, dust and soot gobble up neg-ions,
either neutralizing or positively charging them. Inside, steel and concrete
building act as electro-magnetic Faraday cages, absorbing the charges of
negative ions. Synthetic building materials, clothing and furniture covering
eat up more; so do the metal ducts covering heating and air conditioning
outlets. The positive static charge of plastics takes care of the rest so that
in a typical interior, the neg-ion count may be below 100 per cubic centimeter.
(the minimal amount for optimum human functioning is about 1000/ccm.) In the
words of Dr. William Rea, Chief of Surgery at Brookhaven Medical Center in
Texas, "Houses don’t breathe like they used to."
Several people have investigated the mechanisms of
pos-ions debilitating effects. According to the Russian ion pioneer Vasil’yev,
ions act on the endings of pulmonary afferent nerve fibers, altering the
functional state of the central nervous system and through it, the peripheral
organs. Sulman et al (1970) found that weather-sensitive people excrete more of
the neuro-hormone serotonin than non-sensitive people. Serotonin is secreted by
the pineal gland and the intestines. It affects sleep, mood, nerve impulses,
blood-clotting and contraction of smooth muscles. LSD effects are caused by
serotonin inhibitor and chronic serotonin depletion is characteristic of some
types of mental anomalies.
Sulman’s work supports the findings of American ion dean
Dr. Albert P. Krueger, who discovered that the specific negative ion of oxygen
-O- speeds up the rate at which serotonin is oxidized in the bloodstream.
Krueger also found that pos-ions slow the sweeping action
of the tiny hairs in our throats form 900 to 600 beats per minute and cut mucus
flow, thus lowering our resistance to airborne allergens. For example, the
pos-ion carbon dioxide (CO2) causes contracture of the back tracheal wall.
Pos-ions also cause vasoconstriction and increased respiration rate.
Oddly enough, notes ion author Soyka, "About five
percent of the population seems to react well to a positive charge. They feel
euphoric."
If pos-ions are the bad guys, neg-ions wear white hats and
shoot silver bullets. Their beneficial effect was first discovered in 1932 by
Dr. C.W. Hansell at RCA Laboratories. Dr. Hansell was startled by the violent
mood shifts of a co-worker who sat beside and electrostatic generator. He
observed carefully and discovered that his colleague was ebullient when the
machine produced neg-ions, morose when it made pos-ions.
Subsequent researchers (mostly abroad) have found that
neg-ions reduce neurosis and anxiety, heighten appetite and thirst and
stimulate sexual behavior. They improve performance of voluntary movements:
81.2 percent of drivers with neg-ion generators scored in the top half on
reaction time. And in school they sharpen mental functioning and reduce error
rates. After a year with neg-ion generators in their classrooms, a group of
kindergarten teachers reported that their students concentrated better and
showed almost no "weather effect." Hyperactive kids were calmer,
absenteeism was down (except on Mondays) and the teachers themselves felt less
fatigued.
Neg-ions promote alpha brainwaves and
increase brainwave amplitude, which translates to a higher awareness level.
Neg-ion induced alpha waves spread from the occipital area to the parietal and
temporal and even reach the frontal lobes, spreading evenly across the right
and left brain hemispheres. All of this creates an overall calming effect.
On the physical side, they have given relief from hay
fever, migraine and burn and post-operative pains. Along with the burn pain
relief, they lessen infection, dry the burns faster, heal them more quickly and
leave less scarring. After operations, not only did 57 percent of Dr. Igho Hart
Kornblueh’s patients treated with large do ses of neg-ions (10,000/ccm) feel
less pain (as opposed to 22.5 percent of controls), but restlessness and
infection were also reduced and healing quickened.
But why are ions therapeutic? Partly because they kill
germs. Back in the 1930s, a Russian team headed by A.L. Tchijevski found that
large ion doses of either polarity retarded bacteria colony formation on
plates. Ionization also sterilized enclosed air. Later experiments duplicating
Tchijevski’s work noted an exponential bacteria decay rate of 23 percent per
minute for untreated air, 34 percent per minute for air with pos-ions, and 78
percent per minute for negatively charged air. They concluded that the pos-ion
decay rate was due to simple bonding of the ions with the bacteria, whereas the
neg-ions actually killed them.
Interestingly, animals larger than microbes find neg-ions
beneficial. Rats learn better and are less anxious. Mice live longer. (Mice
with flu die more quickly if deprived of neg-ions.) Silkworms eggs hatch
earlier, larvae grow faster, spinning begins sooner, cocoons are heavier.
Chickens lay more eggs and grow more plump. Sheep grow faster and supply more
wool.
And in the vegetable kingdom, plant seedlings grow up to
50 percent more when charged. Fruit stays fresh longer: after 10 days, ionized
tomatoes were still fresh while untreated controls rotted.
Researchers offer a variety of reasons for ion effects.
Dr. Krueger explains that plants benefit from both positive and negative ions
because "ions expedite both the uptake of iron and its utilization in the
production of iron-containing enzymes.... (and) stimulate the metabolism of ATP
in the chloroplasts and augment both nucleic acid metabolism and oxygen
uptake."
In humans, most researchers think that neg-ions act on our
capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen, accelerating the blood’s delivery of
oxygen to our cells and tissues. Dr. R. Gualaterotti of the University of Milan
says they make wider cell nuclei with more volume. The weight of evidence
supports Krueger’s theory that ions break down serotonin in the bloodstream.
Lest negative ions sound too much like a cure-all, testers
report that neg-ions work only so long as they’re being inhaled. As the charge
is most readily absorbed through the olfactory nerves, you need to breathe them
in through your nose, not your mouth. Dr. Krueger cautions that "the
biological (non -clinical) effects produced by atmospheric ions are not
dramatic; on the contrary, they tend to be limited in degree."
But that’s atmospheric ions. Artificially generated ions
are another story. Just as positive ions can be generated artificially by
pollution, so can negative ions be man made- with negative ion generators. It’s
true, you can’t plug in an ionizer at night and expect new muscles in the
morning. But their effects are not always subtle. "People are allergic to
the Twentieth Century," says Bio-Environmental Systems President William
Radley. "Our architects and interior designers are poisoning us. Some people
are so sick or so intolerant of chemical that sometimes the results of
ionization are quite dramatic.
Since the 1950s, manufacturers have produced dozens of ion
generators for laboratory and home use. Early machines ionized atoms and
molecules via high-voltage electrical fields, incandescent materials,
ultraviolet light, x-rays and alpha- or beta-radiation from the isotopes. The
output of the electrostatic, incandescent, and ultraviolet generators tended to
deteriorate rapidly. In addition, electrostatic and ultraviolet machines
produced ozone, a toxic oxygen allotrope, as a by-product.
Dr. Krueger used tritium-based generators during the ‘50s.
Tritium is a betaradiating hydrogen isotope with a half-life of 12.5 years. A
minute amount of the gas is sealed in zirconium and deposited on a stainless
steel foil. An electrical potential difference varying from 300 to 2000 volts
DC is used to separate pos-ions from neg-ions before they recombine in the
plasma. Tritium machines allow precise dosages, but unfortunately tritium is so
dangerous that it’s illegal (except in fusion power plants). Thus, the tritium
generators manufactured during this period were seized by the FDA.
During the 1960s, ion collectors drew air through an
electrostatic field between parallel plates or concentric cylinders; the ions
were collected on the plates.
Present ion units apply a high-voltage electrical signal
directly to the air to create an intense electric field around the emitters.
Why not set up a monster ionizer over Manhattan? Well, a
safety dictates a size limit. Dr. Robert Massy of the University of the Trees
reported at the Ions and Light Conference that, whereas a 5,000 volt machine
produces less than .05 parts per million of ozone (the limit allowed by the
FDA), extremely high-voltage units invariably fail to meet standards.
Although most people in the U.S. are not ion-wise,
generators have been popular elsewhere in the world for decades. In World War
II, Luftwaffe planes were Negatively ionized by electric field generators, in
order to reduce pilot fatigue. And it worked! (Electric field generators are
like female ion generates: instead of ejecting ions, they attract them.)
Germany and USSR use them in government buildings, hospitals, schools,
factories, restaurants, health spas, beauty salons, homes, offices, cars and
trucks. In Canada, Fred Soyka notes, "Ionization has become a household
word. My book became a best-seller and innumerable articles have come
out."
The U.S. has equipped nuclear submarines with ion
machines. Ionizers are being used industrially in auto spray paint booths, food
processing plants, grain storage bins and chemical spray factories.
Architects and designers are beginning to see the health
benefits from fountains and rooftops solariums placed in urban environments,
echoing the wisdom of their forefathers in the Roman culture. The growing
recognition of our biological needs amidst our artificial interiors is opening
up whole new industries aimed at replicating nature indoors.
In addition, we could all take Rosenberg’s advice and wear
underwear of polyvinyl chloride to attract neg-ions. From BVD’s to PVC’s then,
it’s the negative ion generation.
Several machines are now in the market for home and office
use ranging in cost from about $70 to several thousand dollars. You just plug
them in and they ionize away. But, here are some considerations to keep in
mind. If something or someone is between you and the generator, the ion count
around you will drop. If you and the machine are in contact with the same
dielectric material (as, for instance, if it and your arms are on the same
desk), a charge will build up between you and it, and this charge will repel
ions. (Supposedly this doesn’t happen with the latest machines.) Also, you own
static charge will often repel ions, especially in dry, indoor wintertime air.
Synthetic clothing absorbs ions: wear cotton or wool, which have neutral
charges.
At the Ions and Light Conference, Fred Soyka told New
Realities of some in-progress Swiss research on ion machine frequencies.
Frequencies of 60-100 Hz (cycles/sec) are stimulating to a person, while less
than 25 Hz are relaxing. "If you have 60-100 frequency machine,:"
Soyka says, "you may have trouble sleeping well with it on. Manufacturers
ought to look into machines with adjustable frequency ranges. Some European
machines already modulate frequency, so people can dial their needs
electrically."
A problem with ionizers has been determining their
effectiveness. A typical generator may supposedly churn out 100 billion ions
per second. But how many of them survive a yard past the machine? Ion counters
do exist, but until now no store or salesperson selling generators has had one
around. Inexpensive units are now on the assembly line. Ion counters must be
used carefully: within a room the ion concentration varies a lot, depending on
how far you are from the generator, from conducting wall, from charge buildup
on insulating walls, from curtains or draperies.
Poor measurability partly explains why shoddy machines
have been marketed (and confiscated by the FDA) in the past. Today,
regrettably, the field is still not without its quacks. According to Bruce
Sullivan, president of Environmental Sciences Corp. "Some people are
selling generators for thousands. One company calls its machine The Air Doctor."
Advanced technology has eliminated most problems
associated with previous ion devices, and as such there are more on the market
today. Moreover, it is now possible to create higher voltages with lower
current, thereby reducing or eliminating the production of ozone (Federal law
prohibits more than .05 parts per million ozone level). So to ensure that a
device meets the buyer’s needs, one should carefully examine the manufacturer’s
literature.
In addition, buyers should look for a warranty on parts
and labor, including a description of the room size affected by the machine,
and even a money-back trial period offer. A list of authorized service centers
should also be provided to the consumer. So caution is still the watch-word
since industry standardization has yet to be instituted, although industry
standard for ion measurement and output are currently being drawn up by several
manufactures.
The first call for some kind of industry standards was
issued by ion pioneer Igho Hart Kornblueh back in 1961: "Standardization
of the generating and metering equipment by an independent authority would
terminate the hasty and regrettable trend to market ion generators of
questionable safety, quality and output."
Today Fred Soyka echoes his words: "Measuring the
sending capacity of these machines is very important. You should be able to
say, like when you buy a 60-watt light bulb. I’m getting an ionizer of this and
this capacity. And to correlate that to room sizes."
A giant step was taken at the Ions and Light Conference,
where the International Bio-Environmental Society was formed to set up
standards and regulations within the industry. "We’ve already gone through
our Inquisition on ionization," said president Bruce Sullivan, "We
don’t need another one." The Association is building a box within which
the ion output of different machines can be counted at a standard distance and
humidity.
Ions have been around for eons. Science has had its eye on
the ion for 80 years. But public ignorance, generally non-ionized interiors and
lack of generator standards is the hallmark of a science and industry still in
its infancy. Dr. E.R. Holiday thinks we know as much about air today as we did
about food 70 years ago, when biochemists thought protein, fat, and
carbohydrates were all we needed. Then a substance was discovered that
prevented rickets: the first vitamin. Ions might well be, as Holiday suggests,
"the vitamin of the air."

6, 2002 -- There's something in the air and while it may not be love, some say
it's the next best thing -- negative ions.
Negative
ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in
abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches.
Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce
biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin,
helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

How to
understand and then unload the clutter that drags you down?
By Anna Davies
Have you ever found yourself gazing longingly
at the spare and tidy living rooms, kitchens, and home offices in a furniture
catalog and wishing you could live in that world? No mess, everything neatly in
its place — it's a setup that would last, oh, approximately seven seconds here
on planet Earth! Fact is, you have a big, hectic, possibly messy real life — a
life that you'll enjoy a lot more...
And
these are a few of the reasons we see negative-ion generators being sold in
stores and all over the Internet, but do they really work as well as
antidepressants? Can they also relieve allergies by filtering out dust mites
and dander?
It's
too early to tell for sure, experts tell WebMD, but that's not to say there is
not some sound science behind the concept.
Science 101
Ions
are molecules that have gained or lost an electrical charge. . They are created
in nature as air molecules break apart due to sunlight, radiation, and moving
air and water. You may have experienced the power of negative ions when you
last set foot on the beach or walked beneath a waterfall. While part of the
euphoria is simply being around these wondrous settings and away from the
normal pressures of home and work, the air circulating in the mountains and the
beach is said to contain tens of thousands of negative ions -- Much more than
the average home or office building, which contain dozens or hundreds, and many
register a flat zero.
"The
action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it
immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened
moods," says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in
New York.
In
fact, Columbia University studies of people with winter and chronic depression
show that negative ion generators relieve depression as much as
antidepressants. "The best part is that there are relatively no side
effects, but we still need to figure out appropriate doses and which people it
works best on," he says.
Vitamins of the Air?
Generally
speaking, negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in
higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says
Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain:
Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and director of
research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.
"They
also may protect against germs in the air, resulting in decreased irritation
due to inhaling various particles that make you sneeze, cough, or have a throat
irritation."
And
for a whopping one in three of us who are sensitive to their effects, negative
ions can make us feel like we are walking on air. You are one of them if you
feel instantly refreshed the moment you open a window and breathe in fresh,
humid air.
"You
may be one of them if you feel sleepy when you are around an air-conditioner,
but feel immediately refreshed and invigorated when you step outside or roll
down the car window," Howard tells WebMD. "Air conditioning depletes
the atmosphere of negative ions, but an ion generator re-releases the ions that
air conditioners remove."
