Abstract
The light negative airions are known as very effective regulator of state of organism. The mechanism of their therapeutic effect is still not clear. The pioneers in this field proposed bioelectrical theory suggesting electrical interaction between airion charges and tissue components (Tchijevsky, 1941; Vasil’ev and Tchijevsky, 1933). More famons among recent views is the serotonin concept (Krueger, 1959). According to it all favourable effects of negative airions are attributed to serotonin elimination by stimuation of its oxidation. In our opinion the most experiments with hydroairions in isolated biological preparations do not correspond to the conditions of their action in organism. In in vitro experiments much greater doses than in vivo are necessary to observe any effect and this effect is inhibition. It is difficult to obtain in vitro most significant effect of negative airions: i.e. stimulation of functions. We think that the reason is that the tissue preparations of intact animals are used and that many preparations are far from the native state. In the meantime the effect of airions in organism is manifested in individuals with pathology and not in healthy ones. Some artifacts during isolation of preparations also disturb observation of physiological effects of airions.
