I’d buy it if it was pyramid shaped, but in its current form I just don’t see how it’s going to keep my razor blades sharp. No sale.

From one meta study: Air ions and respiratory function outcomes: a comprehensive review - PMC
Conclusion … Exposure to negative or positive air ions does not appear to play an appreciable role in respiratory function.
Post a link to the study you are referencing. I’d like to see it.

I’ve been trying for years. Occasionally I get kicked off the site, and then a moderator will invite me back telling me that one of the writers is a jerk and then they will get fired for being an objective moderator and the site will be wiped of everything about them.
Honestly, what does it take to get on the list?
Sounds like a buildup of negative ions.
