IONATOR DETOXIFICATION STUDY:

Introduction:

The possible ability of the Ionator to act as a detoxification system if used as specified has for some time now been questioned by concerned parties who make use of the process to treat various ailments. Numerous subjects who underwent treatment procedures reported positive results and anecdotal evidence was arguably mostly forthcoming from gout suffering patients. The controversy about the efficacy of the Ionator system to treat gout, debatably stems from the inability to fully explain the exact way in which the Ionator function. A literature search on ionization techniques used medically, additionally proved fruitless, since very few publications were found on the subject, which could explain or support the anecdotal results encountered.

Some publications were noted where research studies proved that skin, mud and salt packs, showed that some compounds could be extracted from the body. For both types of skin packs the method of extraction was reported to be of an electrolytic nature and additionally was reported to be highly effective for specifically the treatment of gout. Since both ionization and electrolytic chemical reactions are charge orientated it is conceivable that these two processes may function similarly.

In lieu of this a study was implemented to objectively investigate the chemical compounds associated with gout in the hope of developing some understanding and to obtain some explanation of the results achieved with the use of the Ionator system.

 

Gout:

Gout is described as a chemical disease where Uric Acid crystals precipitate out as crystals in body-tissues. Uric acid crystals forming around joints cause most of the painful symptoms linked to goat.

There are numerous sources of the Uric Acid in the body. It is a breakdown product of nucleic acid and all foods contain some, with the highest concentration found in animal products such as kidney, liver and vegetable seeds such as peas. A more important source than the diet is the regular breakdown of the body’s own cells and Uric Acid is also synthesized from ammonia formed in the body.

 

 

In a healthy person the concentration in the blood and tissue fluids is kept to about 0.02% or +-2 mg/l, by excreting any excess in the urine. The solubility of Uric Acid is about 0.06% or +-6 mg/l and above this level; crystals may precipitate with the corresponding development of gout. The excess Uric Acid normally arises in three ways:

• Too much in the diet.
• Too much synthesized in the body and,
• Too little excreted by the kidneys.

The penultimate stage in the synthesis of Uric Acid in the body is a harmless substance, Xanthine.

It stands to reason thus that a study of chemical compounds linked to Gout could possibly explain the beneficial results reported by subjects who make use of the Ionator Treatment process to relieve the symptoms of gout.

In lieu of this it was decided to investigate the following compounds within the treatment process:

• Uric Acid
• Xanthine
• Tartaric Acid
• Maleic Acid
• Fumaric Acid

The compounds were selected because of their direct link to gout as well as being readily available to make use of for the study. If it can be shown that any of the above compounds are in fact extracted out of the body by means of the Ionator treatment process, it follows that this will provide a better understanding of the Ionator process and the anecdotal beneficial results reported as mentioned above.

 

Test Procedure:

The step-by-step experimental procedures followed to implement the study were as follows:

                             IX.            The test subject consumed 500 grams of liver to physically increase the Uric Acid content within the body.

                               X.            In addition to the liver 50 mg of each of the Acids, Tartaric, Maleic and Fumaric was consumed in the hope of establishing baseline values of each of these Acids within the blood.

                             XI.            Blood was extracted after 3-hours and thereafter every 20 minutes. Each of the compounds above was analyzed to physically establish baseline blood concentration levels.

                            XII.            Once baseline values were established the control sample was prepared by placing the feet in the lukewarm salt solution for a time period of 30-minutes without implementation of the Ionator treatment process.

                          XIII.            This solution was analyzed to verify the presence of any of the compounds under investigation.

                         XIV.            In contrast placing the feet in the lukewarm salt solution followed by a full 30-minute Ionator treatment procedure generated the comparative sample.

                          XV.            This solution was analyzed to verify the presence of any of the above compounds under investigation.

 

Results:

The following Table-1 depicts the results obtained from the analytical tests performed:

Constituent	Blood Concentration	Water Concentration without Ionator Treatment	Water Concentration with Ionator Treatment steps completed.
Xanthine	820	Nil	103
Uric Acid	1660	Nil	255
Tartaric Acid	2750	18	311
Maleic Acid	980	Nil	62
Fumaric Acid	85	Nil	12

Please note:

• Concentration values of all compounds investigated expressed in micrograms per litre (m g/l) or parts per billion (ppb).
• Values depict the average values of five consecutive samples taken.

 

 DISCUSSION:

The most important points to take into consideration concerning the results obtained are the following:

18. The compounds under investigation were easily picked up in the blood samples collected. It was not established if these concentration levels attained were the maximum values and it is possible that an increase in time could have shown either an increase or a decrease in blood concentration levels.
19. The level of Tartaric Acid picked up in the control sample was unexpected and this test was repeated to verify results. A similar concentration of Tartaric Acid was picked up with the repeat test performed.
20. The results clearly showed that the water samples collected after implementation of the Ionator treatment procedure, contained significant levels of the compounds under investigation.
21. Concentration levels of roughly 6.3 to 15.3% of the concentration levels found in the blood, were picked in the water samples collected, after the implementation of the Ionator treatment procedure.
22. The latter point can maybe be interpreted, that roughly 6 to 15% of the Acids under investigation could possibly be extracted from the body by means of the Ionator system. (A more detailed study will however have to be performed and a more extensive set of data will have to be obtained to be able to state this as fact).
23. The subjects under investigation or being treated will no doubt play an important role or have an impact on the achievable results. Physiological effects such as blood chemistry, electrolyte levels etc could influence the results and may form part of a future study.
24. Please note that only the acids under investigation were analyzed for these tests performed but by no means were found to be the only compounds extracted from the body. (Please refer to previous analytical work completed and dated: 1^st March 2003).
25. Indicators gained from the study point to the treatment process as being a charge related methodology, where the ionization and corresponding negative/positive poles formed and the strength of the ionization field induce the extraction of the acids investigated. The following Schematic illustrates the possible extraction reaction.
26. It remains to be seen if the strength of the ionization field could possibly improve the extraction efficiency and it is my suggestion that this should further be scrutinized. It may not fully be possible to exactly control the ionization field since very carefully controlled salt solutions will have to be prepared to achieve this.

 

"This is absolutely irrefutable evidence that the system can extract some compounds from the body and if the compounds are extracted, how it can benefit the subject being treated."
