Guest guest Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I had one of the first negative ion generators, many years ago, if I turned it up too high I would get a distinct headache. I did notice it collected dust on the wall behind the small unit. It was suppose to help clean the air as well as increase negative ions in the room. I stopped using it when I associated it with headaches, not being sure if even a low setting was safe, it was an unknown at that time, ~ 1984. Now I wonder if the TV is just as good, if you watch TV or even have one, because it seems to collect dust pretty fast as well? There are also the salt lamps, suppose to add negative ions to the room. Never owned one of those although I do have a large Selenite crystal that has a small light bulb, like a small Christmas light bulb, old fashioned kind, not the new mini lights. Anyway I always feel good when it is on. Some days I never turn it off and just leave it on, I wonder if this is why?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 The flicker.rate of the monitor induces a state of hypnosis (just perfect for all those ads, don't you know). Praise God I was watching Law and Order one day when they did an overkill on ggovernment propaganda. That was about ten years ago. I said, " Who needs this crap? " , turned it off, and reclaimed my mind. No more managed news and infomercials for gun control for this old woman. I think we are being set up for loss of freedom on the internet, too, however.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The 60 hertz rate of alternating current in homes is an unnatural and unhealthy thing for the body. We do not use electric blankets for instance due to that . The source in that case would be too close to the body and for too long of a duration . I have use an electric heat pad with essential oils mix to treat degenerative arthritis in my lower back. I was successful but I hated the exposure to AC, even only for an hour a session. Never had any ill effects from it. I suspect that a person who needs to use an electric blanket can fire it up an hour before bedtime and make the bed toasty warm, then unplug it when going to bed. Get the benefits without suffering the hazards. For instance, we use our microwave to pre-heat our dinner plates, bowls, and coffee cups. We get a benefit from it without destroying our food and health by cooking with it. Ditto all of that for cell phones. I rarely use one, preferring to carry it only when away from home so that my wife can reach me. Ditto for her when she is out shopping, she takes it so as to be able to call if having car trouble or any emergency. (We only have one) As for a Blue Tooth, forget it. Brain toasters. I prefer old school tech such as a low voltage DC plug in headset for my cell phone. ( When we travel, we use the belt clip and mount it on a stalk I salvaged from the days when the cell phones were bigger and many mounted them on stalks in their cars. I made up a steel attachment for the stalk to mimic a belt so that the belt clip fits to it. Then I plug in my old DC headset into the jack on my cell phone and hang the headset on the rear view mirror. That way if I get a call, I just put on the headset and flip open my cell phone. A low-tech version of hands-free cell phone use while driving.) Gerry > > The flicker.rate of the monitor induces a state of hypnosis (just > perfect for all those ads, don't you know).
