Ionic….
“Isn’t it Ionic…”
hehe, no not that song, I mean the easiest way to feel better and breathe easier!
OK, a little background. So, once upon a time, my girlfriend and I were mall strolling, and we happened upon a “Sharper Image” store. She had been wanting the “Ionic Breeze” air purifier they offer, so we went inside to have a look-see. Well, it is a nice unit, and the theory behind it is proven and based on solid scientific research. But man is it pricey, they want 350 dollars per unit, and it can only handle one large room. She has wanted one for awhile. I thought it was really cool and wanted one now as well. I remember when (-) ion gennies were the rage back in the day, before the phrase “new age” was even coined by those Madison Ave. types…
Alright, fast forward about 6 months now. Bored and surfing the web the other night and I decided to do a little research on that Ionic Breeze thingamajig. I end up discovering there are way better designed units out there for much less $. Large commercial units aside, I found one in particular I really liked, the “NeoTec XJ2000″ model is impressive indeed. And compact, sits on a shelf like a clock radio, freeing up precious floor space, and also operating more effectively as a result of being elevated.
Now I’m thinking, maybe someone has a better deal on these things, the one site I found had them for around $130 each, still kinda pricey if you want multiple units. The idea is to have one in each room you spend a great deal of time in. For me that would be Computer room, Bedroom, and Kitchen, probably in that order too. So I surf around some more and found this site-

Now, being that I owe my girlfriend a christmas/birthday present, I thought, let me order two, one for each of us to test out. They also have a portable car unit for only ten bucks, I couldnt resist and picked one of those up also.
Well, I have nothing but good things to say about the guy Serge who handled my order. I’m not sure if he runs the site or just works for them, but the service was first class ! I mean, I placed my order around 11 at night, and do you know I received a handwritten reply in less then 10 minutes confirming my order and stating he would ship the units the next day…
Two days later (last night), I received one of them along with the portable unit. I plugged it in and within an hour noticed a big change in the air quality of my room. Also noticed the air had that “feel” to it I only get in places that are charged with (-) ions, either naturally or artificially, and I like that feel, it has an almost calming effect on my mind. Which, if you know me, is no small task!
My recommendation to everyone, do a little research on negative ion generators so you have an informed opinion. And if you are at all concerned about the the air quality in your living space, and the consequences to your health, then I recommend purchasing one and giving it a try.
Just thought you might be interested. Y’all be well…
