The theory is that negative ions accelerate the delivery of oxygen to our cells, having positive effects, while positive ions do the opposite. "Scientific research concluded that negatively charged ions have positive effects on living organisms. Plants grow faster and healthier, lab animals are calmed and more able to perform certain tasks, and humans respond with increased alertness and relaxation." ... "Unfortunately most of the elements in our modern day environments act as a vacuum for negative ions.

Pollution from car exhaust, cigarette smoking, fluorescent lighting, electrical and electronic equipment, TV screens, overcrowding and even breathing all contribute to negative ion depletion. The typical home interior can be measured to average 100 negative ions per cc." Richard Apparently, air conditioning (among other things) reduces the number of

It's very humid which is bad for SD. I truly don't know how I survived it. I was kindof confused from your post though. Do you want Air conditioning or you dont' want to be in places with air conditioning? I know for me, I always tried to stay in the AC because Japan was so hot that I got flares like crazy. When I would turn the airconditioner on at night my SD would be twenty times better than without it. I don't know if I'm backwards from the rest of you guys on here but as far as SD is concerned AC is my best friend. I lived in Japan for the summer of 2003 and it was HOOTTT AS HEYAL!

SD is in my scalp for sure. i really don't get any real flaking just the damn red splotchy, itchy, raised skin on my cheeks, brows forehead, side of nose. oh well, way to frustrated with it all lately. it does seem that it takes an attack on many fronts to beat SD. <!--more--> piotr james,
