real challenge. Without this component, ioni: st couldn’t produce the same results. But I was determined to find a way. A.M. What other obstacles did you Jace? JS. During the 1970s ionisation became very controversial. People were getting mixed results and many assumed ion therapy was just another form of snake oil. A.M. Why was that? J.S. Unable to continue using a radioac- tive source, science had come up with a new way to generate negative ions called a Cockroft Walton voltage multi- plier. This is the circuit still used in every ioniser in the world today.The big problem was that these circuits only served to produce large negative ions. These are useful for clearing the air of pollutants, but have no direct effect on the body’s metabolism because they are not small enough to be ingested and pass through the lungs into the blood- stream. A.M. So people who were say, sensitive to pollen or mould spores were getting good results while others were disillu- sioned? J.S. There’s more to it than that. Asthma, allergies and so on would sometimes be relieved by ionisation but when the person left that environment the symptoms would return. My chal- lenge was to develop an ioniser that would reliably produce ions that gave lasting benefits. I figured that if we could accelerate electrons fast enough, using microprocessors and advanced circuitry, small ingestible ions would be generated. When my theories proved successful, I knew ionisation would one day be reinstated as a safe, natural ther- apy for a range of ailments. A.M. You say you succeeded, what was the problem? J.S. In the early ’80s we didn’t have the advances in miniaturisation that have evolved since.The machine that I devel- oped was too big and cumbersome to really be a marketable item. A.M. How long did your research and development program last? JS. It’s ongoing. Improvements in design are continuing all the time. By 1992 advances in technology enabled us to contain the three necessary circuit boards within a small housing, and to start marketing the Elanra as a personal therapeutic device for the home and workplace. In 1994 we introduced fre- quency modulation, as we'd found that the brain will harmonise to the rhythm of the ioniser’s frequency outputs - that is, pulsing ions at varying frequencies. A.M. How is that beneficial? J.S. If the Elanra is set to the frequency of, for example alpha waves, which rep- resent a relaxed, calm state of mind, the brain will harmonise. In other words, JUNE - JULY 2002 you can change your brain waves and receive therapeutic ions at the same time. But we've destroyed that balance by cutting down forests and interfering with all facets of our environment. No- one told the Sun about this, so it’s still bombarding us with positive ions every day and our supply of negative ions is depleted. No wonder we're all sick because our immune systems are being compromised and it isn’t surprising that cancer, asthma, diabetes etc. are all on the rise. A.M. Some might think that’s a bit far- fetched. J.S. Not at all, it's been substantiated by recent scientific research. Work carried out by the Brain Development Research Centre in Japan shows that setting the Elanra to a certain frequency will induce coinciding brainwave patterns. When the Elanra is switched on then off A.M. You mean destruction of the environment is the root cause of dis- ease? environment ts the rool cause of als- ease? J.S. Obviously there are other factors at work, but I believe that the lack of neg- ative ions is one of the major causes. Everything has to be balanced. A.M. So how does one ensure the cor- rect balance of ions? J.S. The Elanra has the great advantage of being programmable. Different set- tings can generate given quantities of ions. Balance is the keyword - it’s important not to have too many nega- tive ions nor too few. Nowhere on our planet can you get ion levels of one mil- lion per cc of air I’ve tested a lot of other ionisers with quite sophisticated Above: The Elanra MK II and above right, the Elanra Portable again at given frequencies, brain activity follows suit.

We can actually induce the brain to operate at the Schumann Resonance. A.M. Itve heard of that, but what is it exactly? J.S. The Schumann Resonance refers to the region of extremely low frequencies that exist between the ionosphere above the earth and the earth’s surface. A German named Schumann discovered it in the 1950s. The resonance frequen- cy of 7.83Hz lies on the border between alpha waves and theta waves in the human mind. It is the same frequency as light (adjusted), which travels at 7.8 cycles per second around the earth. It is said that all living things on Earth including humans are under the influ- ence of the Schumann Resonance to maintain the basic rhythm of life. A.M. I presume a machine that can do these amazing things is patented? J.S. Yes, of course. The patent states in part “...this invention relates to improvements in or in relation to nega- tive air ion generation for the produc- tion of small biologically active Cingestible) ions.” Therefore, anyone claiming that their ioniser produces bio- logically active ions, or small air ions, or that it invokes any biological activity are infringing our patent, or more likely try- ing to pass off inferior equipment as comparable to the Elanra. A.M. What role do positive ions play? J.S. In nature, everything is balanced, even on a sub-atomic level. The sun pro- duces positive ions by a chain reaction in which helium produces hydrogen produces helium, and the fallout is lithi- um. In this process, positive ions of hydrogen are propelled into the uni- verse and bombard everything, includ- ing Earth. So in order to balance this sit- uation, the earth produces negative ions of oxygen. That's the balance of nature. J.S. The quantity of ions required is an individual matter. For instance, an elder- ly emphysema sufferer needs a different dose of ions from that required by a healthy young adult. I’ve gone to extra- ordinary lengths to ensure the correct levels for each user. Every Elanra is pre- set before dispatch, although settings can be changed over the telephone if it becomes necessary later. A.M. There’s still scepticism surround- ing natural therapies in some circles. How do you counteract that? J.S. Genuine natural therapies are always at risk thanks to charlatans and fly-by-nighters. These people have no real concern for their customers and are only out to make money. That’s why we keep an eye on our competitors. It’s not simply that one needs to stay ahead, it’s a matter of maintaining integrity, not just for our products, but for natural therapies as a whole. A.M. For people interested to learn more, your company Bionic Products, has a website, I believe? J.S. That’s right, at www.negativeions. com you can even view the circuitry inside the Elanra. We are the only ionis- er manufacturer to disclose these kind of details because we're not here to bamboozle the public. Both myself and my wife Nina are known to provide a high level of personalised service. We really take an interest in our clients and their well being. End End NEXUS ¢ 11 www.nexusmagazine.com
