ionizer (air purifier)

[songwriter]

Does anybody here know anything about IONIZERS. (Electronic gadget that charges the air) All of my research on weather sensitivity has led me to this . Some people claim that these machines remove allergens and negatively charge particles in the air, changing the atmosphere to more closly resemble that of a waterfall or forest or the feeling you get after a rain.
Supposedly, it helps with depession and anxiety , concentration, memory,ect... (all issues I deal with)
There are many companies out there making these claims- Is this legit or a huge hoax?
These machines range in price from $50- $1500
Please respond if you can share any info about these ionic air purifiers.

I've been checking these out for a while now and I think I'm going to purchase the Ionic Breeze GP Silent Air Purifier with Ultraviolet Germicidal Protection.

This is available from www.sharperimage.com

I dont know about all their claims, but the motel I used to work at, we ran an ionizer in every smoking room after it was used... We ran it for about a 1/2 hour in each room... I couldnt stay in there while it ran, gave me an awful headache...

Thats about all I know about them though...
