Sigh ... I see Mark Sisson has addressed the concept of ion therapy in a recent post. I had ions on the mind while constructing my last post and just had to weigh in here. In it he makes the following statement:
Because they are either positively or negatively charged, ions are “mobile.”
Umm ... say what? I think he's referring to dissolved ions that move within the solvent liquid (usually water). They do this by means of diffusion in still water, or by going along for the ride in a moving liquid such as a babbling brook or your shower. But I'm sitting here staring at a bunch of ions in my salt shaker and they're looking rather sedentary to me. If by "mobile" he means they jump out into the air, then this an even more misleading statement.
He then says (bolded emphasis his)
Negative ions generally appear in natural settings in greater numbers than positive ions.
