Scientist Claims Active Aran Gas Affects Body Functions
Dr. Manfred Curry announced after 15 years of research that a small amount of a highly active gas, aran, in the air influences human body functions similarly to weather. He notes fog or smoke lowers aran, north winds raise it, and high concentrations trigger migraines, asthma, angina, epilepsy, and embolism. He cites studies near Flagstaff and remarks oxygen-like benefits may come from aran control, with ongoing investigation by Dr. William Petersen.
