Living In A Sea of Positive Ions

by Jane Odin

Judging from wide-spread chem trails aloft around the world one must conclude aerosoling the sky is a top priority for governments world-wide. (They have their reasons.) Among other things, chemtrails generate  (+) ions creating an imbalance in the ratio between (+) and (-) ions.  We are living in a sea of (+) ions which is incredibly hazardous to mental stability and general health. To understand this brief opening statement please read “How Aerosol Chemtrails Affect Atmospheric Ions” at http://ion_effects.tripod.com/

It’s interesting to note that the U.S. military protects soldiers from (+) ions with passive negative ion generator patches sewn into the collars of uniforms. The patches create ambient negative ionic environments around the individual soldiers so they can function with normal cognition and future health in situations of high (+) ion saturation.  http://www.hyperstealth.com/ECU/index.html

It is believed (+) ions are ‘serotonin releasers’ and produce ‘serotonin syndrome’. This complicated syndrome creates a wide variety of serious effects, determined by ones individual weaknesses. You can read about the symptoms and effects of this neurohormone here: http://ion_effects.tripod.com/

Although the passive (-) ion generators used by the military are not available for civilians there are other options for the rest of us. I use the Mini Mate negative ion generator from Clean Air Services. It’s worn around the neck. I tend to wear it most in the house when sitting in the middle of a bunch of (+) generators such as computer, tv etc. I also wear it on super-bad chemtrail days. The following links show some  alternatives to the military patch.

Give links a careful read and you will have a a better understanding of the chemtrail situation.  If you find the info is valid, take action in terms of emails and conversation – a little each day. But don’t ignore it like a friend who says, “I can’t do anything about it so I don’t want to know about it. Please spare me the details.” This statement reminds me of the Germans living within ½ mile of Buchenwald who said they had no idea what was going on down the road. The details of this type of mentality are documented in “They Thought They Were Free” by Milton Mayer. http://www.lightwatcher.com/chemtrails/patents.html

Ignore is the root of ignorance. Registering protest against atrocities does have far reaching impact.  Europeans have been able to impede the flow of GMO products and toxic plastics into their countries by word of mouth and visible protest. Silence and apathy never generate change. In the meantime check out the idea of wearing a negative ion generator, particularly if you have symptoms of ‘serotonin syndrome’.

Sham/Scam, Free Sample Offers

by Jane Odin

NOTHING IS FREE
Dad drummed into my head nothing is free and I believed him. But somehow that wisdom faded when I found so called “free” anti-wrinkle skin cream samples on the internet. Great! I thought the free-offer was made because the cream was so outrageously expensive a demonstration was called for. Not so! Unknowingly, I ordered 2 different free samples and suffered the same consequence with both – with slight variations.

As soon as they have your charge card # - they gotcha. The charge covers mailing of the sample but when the bill arrived – ooph’s – they charged the cost of the product. The worse is yet to come: I called Master Card and learned the cream company had already charged for a 2nd shipment and the price had gone up $25. At this point I was out $125 for  free sample products.

I immediately canceled my master card, filed a complaint and tried contacting the company by phone – what a joke. All three numbers were answered by a promotional recording and my first email was never answered. When the second, unrequested shipment arrived I mailed it back along with the original “free sample” and sent out a 2nd email explaining my action. My 2nd email was not friendly. I explained my state of mind and threatened to post on every consumer advocacy site. I heard from the company within 24 hours with the update: the charges would be removed.

Unfortunately, I had ordered a 2nd free sample on that fateful afternoon. It arrived in an enormous box with a future bill and instructions. The bill for $180 is all I saw. The instructions said to try the enclosed products and return by a two week deadline or the full amount would be charged to my account. I returned the stuff the next day, grateful my charge-card # had already been changed.

It’s impossible to log off the scam site without shutting down the computer.
This has occurred with every “free sample” site experienced – new windows continue popping up. It’s maddening!

Also, experience says to avoid products hawked in TV infomercials. The inferior quality is guaranteed to dissatisfy. It took several experiences to learn this lesson. And trust me………..no real estate course will teach you how to purchase a house for $300 or make $15,000 a month as an internet entrepreneur. (No I didn’t go for that scam or any of the weight loss deals. There is usually a whole lot hidden in the small print details, harder to attain via TV ads. Instead type the name of the product ie “Video Professor” in the Google search box. This route will access the detailed material.

Recently I was looking for a safe, free DVD on selling on eBay. The relevant sites looked suspicious, having many of the characteristics of the scam sites, so I checked out “terms of agreement” which detailed seven days are given to refuse the product after which a monthly fee would begin etc. Be sure and read “use agreements” and “charges and billing” before giving a charge card number.

When you run across scams and shams offers go to consumer affairs.com,  submit a complaint form and check out scam alerts. Most recently the Federal Trade Commission is involved in the settlement of deceptive advertising claims regarding weight loss supplements. So there is hope in this arena.

Nothing is free is always a good mantra and particularly so in these troubling times. Of course it doesn’t hold true for banks, or mega corporations. For these good old boys – it’s up, up and away with zillions in give-a-ways without over-sight, guidelines or restrictions. But for the rest of us – nothing is free.
