"Negative ions provide well-being, happiness and serenity!"

Interview with American health expert Dr. Earl Mindell on " The Happiness Effect "

"I believe that negative ions can be a blessing for many people. They may not work the same for everyone, but negative ions are a simple and inexpensive way to alleviate health problems and increase personal well-being without any side effects."

Dr. Earl Mindell, author of the guidebook “The Happiness Effect” and known to millions of viewers through numerous TV appearances (including on the “Oprah Winfrey Show”), has studied in detail the possible applications and the positive effects of negative ions on the body and psyche.

You have been writing successful guides on nutrition and health for over 30 years. What prompted you to focus on the effects of negative ions in your latest book?

Dr. Mindell: On the American television show Shark Tank , a contestant appeared who presented a negative ion bracelet. The " lions " asked about research that supports the benefits of negative ion bracelets. The contestant did not know the answer because he was not well prepared. This reminded me of negative ion therapy, which I had heard about 30 years ago but had forgotten. So I read everything I could find on the subject, did extensive research, and found that there was a ton of research on negative ions. I thought that a book that would help my readers find happiness would be a blessing, especially since there is so much violence, hate, and depressing news in the media.

There are a number of studies that prove the health-promoting effects of so-called ion therapy; however, conventional medicine often dismisses it as quackery. What are the reasons for this?

Dr. Mindell: Negative ions cannot be patented and have a psychological effect on the body. That's why pharmaceutical companies are not interested in them. They want doctors to prescribe antidepressants, tranquilizers and muscle relaxants and not use natural remedies.

How do positive and negative ions differ in their effects on people?

Dr. Mindell: Positive ions cause the many negative symptoms that I describe in my book, while negative ions help to create serenity, happiness and well-being, and they also improve mood.

Which health problems can be treated through the use of negative ions?

Dr. Mindell: The most serious problem that can be solved by increasing the amount of negative ions in the environment is stress.

In addition to the natural sources of negative ions, there have also been technical devices that can generate negative ions for several years. What offers are recommended here?

Dr. Mindell: Bracelets that emit negative ions and air purifiers that generate ions are available commercially. In fact, a negative ion generator has been built into the engine of the Toyota Corolla, the best-selling car in the United States.
