Product Reviews | Radiation Health Risks- Part 3

The idea of negative ion bracelets & pendants keep being introduced to me because of the topic of this website. Before this I did not even know what negative ions were. So after thoroughly researching into them, and comparing many different types, the negative ion bracelets that are made of a single natural stone or element, are the best. I am not opposed to negative ion bracelets that use a powdered blend of different minerals, as long as they have actual peer reviewed scientific studies proving that they do what they say they do (to verify what is really in them). The problem is I have not yet been able to find any like that. At least with whole stones or minerals (like Tourmaline), we know they emit negative ions. I did include a couple of powdered blend bracelets that sounded good. Just remember there were no scientific studies I could find on them. So that said lets get into the ones I think are best. The 6 Best Negative Ion Bracelets Are: Round Bead Tourmaline Bracelet Square Bead Black Tourmaline Bracelet Unisex Black Tourmaline Bracelet Ebuty Titanium Magnetic Negative Ion Bracelet Infinity Pro Negative Ion Bracelet Quanthor Negative Ion Anti EMF Radiation Bracelet 1-3 Black Tourmaline Bracelets My favorite bracelets are the black Tourmaline bracelets. I just like the simple natural look and feel of them. And Tourmaline is supposed to be one of the best, if not the best, negative ion emitting stone by itself. So then to me it just boils down to what style you like the best. Below are links to each of the three bracelets shown in the picture to the left. Take a look at each of these and you can also check out the prices if you wish. Round Bead Tourmaline Bracelet Square Bead Black Tourmaline Bracelet Unisex Black Tourmaline Bracelet On thing I would like to say about any of these negative ion bracelets. Your goal should always be to expose yourself to as much negative ions as possible. They can't harm you and can only do you good. I would always suggest adding a necklace or a pendant so you also have negative ions closer to your mouth and nose. Not only can you absorb negative ions through your skin, but you actually absorb more through the air you breath. So I suggest getting both. 4. Titanium Magnetic Negative Ion Bracelet Check Out The Price Here. Okay what I really like about this bracelet (besides its sharp looks), it is a 4 element negative ion bracelet. What does that mean? It means it has four different elements to the bracelet that benefit health. These elements are: This bracelet is made out of Pure Titanium. It also has a Germanium powder within the bracelet. Both Titanium and Germanium are minerals known for giving off negative ions. The Germanium also produces Far Infrared radiation, which is the healthiest forms of heat. This heat has health benefits of its own, and aids in the production of negative ions. This bracelet includes 3000 Gauss Magnets built in. Magnet therapy is reported to relieve effects of hand and wrist pain inflammation of arthritis, tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. This is said to increase your overall energy level. This bracelet is also handcrafted for high quality. 5. Infinity Pro Negative Ion Bracelet Check Out The Price Here. I am not as big of a fan of plastic looking bracelets like this one and the one below. But I cannot argue with the amount of negative ions this bracelet emits (according to the manufacturer). The beneficial components of this bracelet are: Negative Ion Production: The manufacture claims that this bracelet produces 4,000 to 4,500 ions per cubic cm. Wow! That is impressive. I have not measured this myself however so before you purchase this I would be sure and read all of the reviews on it. They show over 4,500 reviews on their company website. These reviews however are for more than just this specific bracelet. 2000 Gauss Neodymium Magnet: Magnets in bracelets like this are said to reduce stress, increase mental clarity and function as well as offer some EMF protection from nearby devices. Simple Comfortable Design: According to the reviews these bracelets fit nicely and are comfortable. To quote one review the man said "it feels great and fits perfectly". 30 Day Results Guarantee: They say "Try It & If It Doesn't Work For You Simply Return For a Full Refund". 6. Quanthor Negative Ion Anti EMF Radiation Bracelet Check Out The Price Here. The reason I included this bracelet on this list is because of two things. First, it produces a high measurable amount of negative ions (according to Quanthor emits 1000 ions per cubic cm). That is kind of the point of negative ion bracelets anyway, right? And second, it comes with a free Black Tourmaline pendant included in the price. It is number 3 on my list mainly because the style of it is not something I personally see myself wearing. That is my personal bias. You may have an entirely different opinion. But that is the only reason I have it so low on my list. The beneficial components of this bracelet are: Negative Ion Production: Quanthor uses a blend of powdered minerals to produce its negative ions. As I mentioned above according to Quanthor emits 1000 ions per cubic cm. That is a significant amount of negative ions. 1000-1200 Gauss Neodymium Magnet: The benefits of the magnets according to Quanthor are that they reduce "the damaging effects of stress and increase mental performance". They are also supposed to offer some EMF protection, but this is not something I have seen measured. Far Infrared Technology: According to www.lifeextension.com, "Far infrared" [heat], "the safest segment of energy that comes from the sun" (or in our case from these minerals), "offers a wide array of therapeutic benefits for various health conditions. Studies demonstrate that far infrared helps enhance circulation in the skin, modulate sleep, ease pain, protect against oxidative stress, and relieve inflammation." This Far Infrared heat is a big part of how the minerals in this bracelet produce as many negative ions as they do.

Here we go! How I Was Introduced To Negative Ions I have been married to the same wonderful woman for the last (almost) 32 years. (You can see an image of us together from when we were first married on the left.) She has always been even more of a skeptic than I have. Since I have always done my research, she typically would tend to agree once she saw the facts. But several times in the beginning I think she wondered who this odd ball was she had married. So you can imagine my surprise when my wife started suggesting that I put some black Tourmaline in front of my computer on my desk. I mean the rock is pretty and all, but I didn't really want it taking up space on my desk. Then she told me that this rock was healthy for me. I said "what?" She said yes "it will emit negative ions which have health benefits, plus it will help neutralize the effects of the EMF Radiation coming from my computer." To my surprise she was serious. She really was. I thought my jaw would get injured from hitting the floor. Then later she told me she was taking an "energy healing" class that would teach her more about the health benefits of, you guessed it, rocks! I didn't quite know what to do with that information at first to be honest. As time went on there were just too many noticeable positive physical affects for me to write it off as placebo any longer, so I decided to begin to actually do research. (I was way to skeptical for it to be placebo anyway.) In the first part of this article I will talk about what I have learned from some of that research. What Are Negative Ions? Simply put, ions are particles that have an electrical charge that results from the atom gaining or losing an electron. Positive ions are atoms that have lost one or more electrons, whereas negative ions are atoms with extra negatively charged electrons. In the image to the left from the people at www.scalarenergyproductreview.com, they show a depiction of a negative ion. Substances give off negative ions all of the time in nature when molecules are broken apart by things like wind, flowing water, sunlight and other natural radiation sources. If you have ever been sitting at the beach or near a water fall and felt an abundant feeling of cheery improved mood or bliss, an overwhelming sense of euphoria, part of that feeling scientist suggest is caused from the negative ions the flowing water produces. These negative ions cause positive feelings in us! Ha! For some reason I thought that was funny. Sorry I digress. But on a more serious note, they can be absorbed into our bodies through our skin, however most of the time negative ions enter as we inhale air into our lungs. One of the ways that negative ions are said to improve our health, is by significantly increasing the amount of oxygen molecules that reach the brain. It is said that this can result in benefits such as improved sleep, improved mood, improved stamina, as well as improved cognitive function. Some people are more sensitive to negative ions than others, and can notice the affects more readily. For these people the affects can be almost immediate and quite dramatic. For everyone else they still receive the same health benefits, they just do not notice it as much since they are not as sensitive to it. It is kind of like when you are really focused on your good health and are exercising and eating a really healthy diet. When you then put something bad for you in your body you feel the negative effects more readily. This is kind of how it is with negative ions. When you are more focused on your health, exercising, eating right, as well as spending time in nature and around things that expose you to negative ions. People more focused on health and being around negative ions more, tend to begin to notice the affects more readily. What Makes The Best Ion Bracelets? Well the obvious simple answer is negative ion bracelets that are made of substances or minerals that give off the most negative ions. It is very true that all negative ion bracelets are not created equal. Some emit more negative ions than others. Below I will discuss the materials used in these bracelets to produce negative ions. This will also give you a greater understanding of how they work. Far Infrared Many of the stones (elements) that produce negative ions produce Far Infrared radiation. This is a safe form of heat that is helps the elements produce negative ions. According to www.lifeextension.com, "Far infrared" [heat], "the safest segment of energy that comes from the sun" (or in our case from these minerals), "offers a wide array of therapeutic benefits for various health conditions. Studies demonstrate that far infrared helps enhance circulation in the skin, modulate sleep, ease pain, protect against oxidative stress, and relieve inflammation." Far Infrared is becoming a more sought after form of healthy radiation. Stones that emit Far Infrared radiation provide a double whammy of healthful benefits. The Far Infrared actually aids in the stone emitting more negative ions. Tourmaline is a great example of this. That is why I am going to go over the benefits of tourmaline next. Black Tourmaline The most common stone that gives off negative ions is Tourmaline. Tourmaline is what is called a piezoelectric stone. This simply means that Tourmaline can generate an electrical signal when exposed to heat or when under some sort of pressure or strain. A Tourmaline stone also produces far infra-red radiation. In addition Tourmaline is a pyroelectric stone. This means that temperature changes can also generate a weak electric current within the stone. These are the characteristics that are believed to convert moisture from the air into natural and safe negative ions. Having all of these characteristics is why Tourmaline is the most popular negative ion producing stone. This is why I have selected Tourmaline bracelets as my top negative ion bracelet picks. Amethyst Amethyst is another natural stone that is believed to produce negative ions similar to that of Tourmaline. Amethyst also produces far infrared radiation and is both a piezoelectric and pyroelectric stone. Negative ions produce benefits including things like the removal of free radicals and other toxic particles, improving respiration, and removing dangerous chemicals from the air such as aerosol spray. Other stones that give off negative ions are things like Jade Obsidian, Titanium, Germanium, and Zeolite. Final Thoughts! Just because companies claim to have bracelets or other items that put off negative ions, make sure that they are either made from a quality stone or combination of minerals that you know have these properties. And if they have actual scientific studies that back up their claims that is even better. Just because you are an honest person and have no desire to deceive anyone, does not mean that others have the same good intentions that you do. Do your research and get the facts. Trust but verify, as President Ronald Reagan used to say. So if your are getting into learning about the health benefits of negative ions, you might also enjoy learning about the healing benefits of other rocks. To kind of continue my story from the "How I Was Introduced To Negative Ions" story above, my wife is really becoming quite an expert now on this. We have rocks all over our home now. When we drive through a town on a road trip she is always watching to see if there is a "rock store" we drive by. If you Google that topic you will be amazed at what people claim different rocks are good for. Thank you for reading this article! As with anything before you purchase any of these please read the reviews. I have made an effort to research all those with the best features to save you some time. But I am not perfect.
