Guest guest Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Did anyone read recently about a hospital study using negative ion generators to get a 100% reduction in air borne infections? Not one case during the time the neg. ion generators were used. I know this came out because my family had gently derided me for spending money on one for our house and I was delighted to show them this news. But I don't understand why this isn't being spoken of by any authorities or anyone else as far as I can tell. I will try to find the articles, have tried some, but will try harder. pj Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 This is info I got from another list: " rey tiquia " <rey wrote: Today's on-line issue of the Hongkong Chinese language daily Sing Tao reported an interview with the head of the Chinese mainland Centre for Disease Prevention and Control Mr. Hong Tao , which revealed the results of forensic investigations on 5 bodies of people who have suffered and eventually died from aytpical pneumonia fei dian xing fei yan . Mr. Hong Tao revealed that the microorganism chlamydia had been isolated from the lungs, liver, spleen and kidneys of the five cadavers . The forensic investigation involved organ anatomical dissection and the use of the electronmicroscope. This led Mr. Hong Tao to conclude that aside from the corona virus chlamydia is also involved. The report did not indicate when and specifically where the forensic investigations were conducted. Due to the fact that chlamydia contains RNA and DNA , classification of the microorganism is still vague. Some experts consider it to be a bacteria. The genus chlamydia divides into two strains- Chlamydia psittaci and chlamydia trachomatis. The first strain is implicated as the cause of a type of atypical pneumonia named psittacosis or parrot fever.
