An Ion is a charged atom that has gained a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term that is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentrations to an area of higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field that is set up by placing the array into the water while running the unit.
The array is placed into the water alongside the hands, feet or body while the power supply delivers a low level direct current to the array. This causes the metals within the array, in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water.
