Air, negative ions, prophylaxis, and therapy

Abstract:
All air-borne particles on which electrical forces exercise an essentially greater effect than the forces of weight and inertia are called air ions. Negative air ions exert a beneficial effect on animals and man: the growth of cells in tissue culture, the stability of erythrocytes and serum components, the immunological response of animals, the maximal breathing capacity, the action of the thyroid gland, the sexual activity of man.
Aeroionotherapy can be applied in two ways: by inhalation and/or by local application. The generators are used for individual and group treatments, respectively. With high densities of aeroions, inhalation therapy requires only short seances. Low concentrations of aeroions call for protracted inhalation periods. Depending on the condition of the patient, 10 or more daily treatments may be required. In prolonged treatments a progressive increase of the dosage may be necessary. Negative air ions strengthen those organs in the body, which are responsible for natural immunisation and protection against disease, preventing as well as restoring.
