Why are Negative Ions so Healthy?
When water is atomized, negative and
positive charges are separated. Ions (charged particles) are 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. The
original molecule (minus an electron) is now a positive ion. These
ions, in turn, react with dust and pollutants to form larger particles.
Small negative ions (usually no more than 12 gaseous molecules clustered
around a charged atom or molecule) are short-lived and highly mobile.
We can find negative ions in nature. For example, molecules which
are torn from the surface of water bear a negative charge (small negative
ions) whereas large drops or the entire mass of water are positive.
This provides an explanation for the
refreshing, invigorating effect of residences close to a waterfall
or spring, or even after rain. However, in the cities, in closed rooms,
in cars etc., the proportion of negative ions is markedly reduced
compared with undisturbed nature. According to the experts, positive
ions rob us of our good senses and dispositions, while negative ions
enhance them, stimulating everything from plant growth to the overall
well-being of the human body.
Far Infrared Light
For centuries, scientists have known that plants are dependent upon
sunlight for photosynthesis. But, only recently has science recognized
the similarities between humans and plants in their dependence upon
light.
Today, we know that energy from the sun's
rays, photons, controls vital processes in both plants and people.
In humans, photons are the catalyst for the production of sugars,
fats, and proteins. Photons stimulate the endocrine system, metabolic
processes and enzyme reactions as well as activities in the brain.
When this connection is disturbed, disorders
follow. For example, when enzymes in the body's cells, which should
normally be activated, fail to receive the proper wave lengths of
light, they remain dormant. As a result, they cannot start up normal,
cellular metabolic reactions. This translates into lower cellular
energy, glandular insufficiencies and reduced ability to burn fats
and toxins.
Solar energy from the sun covers a broad
energy band including infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays
and gamma rays. Only a small amount of these solar rays are visible
as colors. The greatest amount of the sun's energy output is in the
infrared segment of the spectrum. This band of light is not visible
but can be felt as heat.
The infrared segment of the electromagnetic
spectrum is divided into three segments by wave frequencies and wave
lengths. Wave lengths are measured in microns (mm), which are one
millionth of a meter: Near Infrared: 0.76-1.5 mm; Middle: 1.5-5.6
mm; Far: 5.6-1000 mm. A narrow spectrum between 4 to 14 microns has
been shown to have particularly beneficial effects on the body.
Among the total spectrum of solar rays
coming from the sun, the FIR waves are the safest and the most beneficial.
For example, the visible light spectrum, with very short wave lengths,
is reflected away from the body. When near (NIR) waves heat organic
substances the surface gets hotter than the interior, and the interior
gets heated by conduction from the surface. By contrast, far-infrared
penetrates deeply with a very uniform warming effect.
Benefits of FIR waves
All humans send and receive FIR waves. The range of infrared waves
generated by the body is 3 to 50 microns. The greatest output is around
9.4, which is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule.
This similarity makes sense since our bodies are almost 70% water.
Any substances with similar resonance
can absorb energy from each other easily. Consequently, when you are
close to someone, you are both sending and receiving FIR energy. When
heated, our planet emits FIR waves at around the 10 micron level as
do most organic substances and plants. The FIR waves between 4 to
14 microns, sometimes called Vital Rays, appear to have special regenerative
effects on the body.
When any tissue in the body is exposed
to FIR waves, whether radiated by sunlight, reflected by specially
coated fabrics or ceramic panels, there is a rapid increase in warmth
which can shown by thermography. This heat plus the activation of
several other response mechanisms stimulates the healing processes.
For example, FIR waves?
- increase blood flow by promoting dilation
(expansion) of the micro-circulatory system of capillaries.
- reduce muscle spasms as muscle fibers
are heated.
- remove toxins from the site receiving
FIR waves.
- assist in the reduction of swelling
and inflammation by improving lymph flow.
- reduce soreness through direct action
on both free nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves.
At the cellular level, researchers have
discovered that specific FIR waves lengths:
- stimulate enzyme activity.
- promote the adhesion and osmosis
of water molecules across the cellular membrane.
- attract calcium ions to the cellular
membrane.
- FIR waves reduce acidity
FIR waves, reflected from wraps and blankets
to the body, provide concentrated radiant energy, similar to that
from the sun. FIR wraps, applied directly to overworked muscles, reduce
lactic acid while FIR blankets often provide an overall reduction
in general body acidity during sleep.
Medical application FIR technology
One of the reasons FIR has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses
is the ability of FIR waves to remove toxins, which are often at the
core of many health problems. Since humans are bio-accumulators, numerous
toxins, that cannot be removed immediately after entry, are stored
in our bodies. For example, when toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide,
carbon dioxide or toxic substances such as lead, mercury or chlorine
meet large water molecules, they are encapsulated by the clusters
of water. Where these toxins are accumulated, blood circulation is
blocked and cellular energy is impaired.
However, when a 10 micron FIR wave is
applied to these large water molecules, the water begins to vibrate.
This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms which are holding
together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules
occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released.
Diets and exercise do work to a certain
extent, but there are scientific products developed in Japan that
can help you get rid of the accumulated acidic toxins more easily
and effortlessly. These products work no matter how busy you are,
how old you are or how lazy you may be. As with diets and exercises,
the results are not overnight; however, the process is the fastest
among the methods using the natural process.
The problem is that the acid accumulation
in our body is slow and our body adapts to it, so that we do not notice
the fact that we are getting sick and old. By the time one feels pain
caused by the acid accumulation, the damage is severe. One must start
the process of reducing acidic wastes before the pain starts.
