I recently read The Ion Effect (1977) by  
Fred Soyka. Health Canada says that ther are  
no studies on this subject,however Mr.Soyka  
refers to MANY studies that have been done  
for example by Dr.Felix Gad Sulman in which  
study after study showed that a neg.ion gen.  
DOES have beneficial health results.  
What is the latest scoop on this subject ?

I give up, I’ve made a few attempts at searching the Archives, but I have no idea what you’re talking about, pbjba. If you would cite (or provide a link) to whatever column or Mailbag Answer you’re referring, it would help the rest of us follow your train of thought.

Sorry Folks,  
I’m new to this site and posted my question on neg.ion generators to this area by mistake. I have re-entered it  
on the G.Q
