| Asthma and Ions |
 |
|
Ions are small particles that take on an electrical charge. In nature we tend to
find between a few hundred to a few thousand of these ions per cubic centimetre.
The small particles that take on this charge are either negatively charged,
postiviely charged or neutral. In a cubic centimetre of air out over a grass
field, we find the ratio is almost balanced between negative ions and positive
ions. In other words we are breathing quanities of electricity.
Positive ions are known to make asthma victims worse. Positive ion winds such as
the Chinook Wind in Calgary, Alta., Canada and the Santa Ana Winds in Southern
California are known to coincide with Asthma attacks. There are many areas
around the world known for positive ion winds (times when ion balance has more
positive ions per cubic centimetre than negative ions).
A Doctor treating burn victims with negative ion generators found that patients
who also had respiratory problems - chronic bronchitis or asthma - all reported
that negative ion therapy helped them breathe more easily. With these findings
the Doctor started research into the effects of ions on respiratory ills. This
research was carried out at the North-eastern Hospital, at the University of
Pennsylvanni's
