No I did not test with the styrofoam ball. Always go on intuition. Same way I buy my vegetables. My body has a pretty clear voice. It does not have an affinty to breads or candy or pretzetls or the like. and it draws me to things I could benefit from.

If I paid attention 100% - Id' be in much better shape.

Anyhow, I don't know about the test you are asking about, but here is a good short post on why negative ions:

"Hi 1117,
The truth is out there but you do have to dig for it. My digging turned up the following information.

Energized/ Ionized Water makes the hydrogen in the water into a negative hydrogen (H-) giving it two electrons. Being the smallest ion, hydrogen can travel quickly all over the body wiping out free radicals by giving them an electron, turning them into a harmless ion.

Negatively charged hydrogen ions tend to improve the chemical conditions f your body fluids into a healthier biological terrain.

Ordinary tap water has positive charged ions.

Negatively charged hydrogen protons are the most powerful electron donors known to chemistry. They are extremely powerful free radical scavengers.

There is a phenomenon called the Electron Cascade which goes something like this: a broad spectrum of anti-oxidants, including selenium, is needed to keep the free radicals under control. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant until it gives up it's electron to Vitamin E, Then the C becomes a free radical. When E gives up an electron to C, it becomes a free radical because it's electrons are no longer paired. All of these ions have an odd number of electrons and they go around taking electrons from each other to make pairs. If there is no easily obtained electron, they will take from our cells and dna. Here's the biggie: HYDROGEN DOES NOT BECOME A FREE RADICAL when it gives or loses its electrons. I have sites saved for reading if you would like them, email me. Omie"
