Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Go to my website. www.quantumru.com In the newsletter there is an article about foot baths. It is quite thorough and explains alot. There is a lot of hype out there and almost all of these units are probably causing toxicity in the body.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi Amy, I have only seen the little patches you can put on your feet at the drug store, but have no idea if they work. I'd be interested to know if this really works too. My body could probably use a good detoxing right about now. But I don't really have the money to spend on something that might not work. Is this the way your chiro is wanting you to do it, or is there some other way to do it? I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Amy, Like all of us who are " sick " in a variety of many illnesses, we are always searching for that magic cure all. I know I have tried and spent money on many a foolish remedy in the past 20 years or so. And,now I rely on my common sense and medical research before I do anything. That even includes prescription medication and surgeries. My dear Amy, please don't fall for the detox foot baths nor the foot pads sold at the local health food store. There are some good chiropractors (yet I've yet to find one) and wouldn't even suggest to others to go to them. But, they are being bombarded by " magical " remedies that make them an astounding amount of money. They are toting herbs, vitamins, light therapy, magnetic therapy, and all kinds of things in addition to what chiropractic was once was. One way to scam people is to diagnose and correct a nonexistent problem. Aqua Detox practitioners do this by claiming to remove toxins and balance cellular energy. During treatment sessions, the customer's feet are bathed for 30 minutes in salt water that is subjected to a low-voltage current transmitted through an electrode assembly called an " array " (the dark cylindrical object to which the wire is attached). Aqua Detox International and other similar companies, claim that the apparatus " produces a frequency of positive and negative ions, which gently resonates through the body and stimulates all the cells within it. . . . rebalancing the cellular energy, enabling the cells to perform efficiently and . .. . release any toxins that may have built up. " During the process, the water typically turns reddish brown. Some marketers refer to the process as " ionic cleansing " or an " ionic foot bath. " Another marketer (Mobile Beauty) further explains that " the system draws toxins out through the soles of the feet " and that the " water changes color due to the release of toxic substances through the 2000 pores of the soles of the feet. " It's treatment sessions typically cost 40-100 dollars. The company's Web site states that " You'll see the excreted toxins in the water. The water will change color and consistency—from orange, brown through to black. " Yellow is said to come from the kidneys and bladder; orange/brown from the joints; green/dark brown to black from the liver, gall bladder and/or bowel; and white from the lymphatic system. Grease or fat particles may float on top of the water. According to the company, the process can be used to improve liver and kidney function; circulation; general metabolism; arthritis and joint pain; headaches; fatigue; irritability; menstrual pain; skin problems; mercury and heavy metal toxicity; food allergies, and poor digestion. The above claims are nonsensical. Most of the listed conditions do not have a toxic basis. Positive and negative ions cannot " resonate " throughout the body in response to any such device. And the skin has no ability to excrete toxins. Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine. Many skeptics suspected that the color change produced by the Aqua Detox was caused by rust (oxidized iron), rather than toxins. Ben Goldacre, who writes the " bad science " column for Guardian Unlimited (an online British newspaper), investigated by using a car battery to send current through two metal nails that he placed into a bowl of salt water. The water turned brown and developed some sludge on top. Then he sent a colleague to get " detoxed " and collect before-and-after water samples. Laboratory testing showed that in both cases, the change of water color was due to greatly increased iron content. Thus it appears that (a) the color change is due mainly to the precipitation of rust created by corrosion of the electrodes, and ( the water would change color regardless of whether or not a foot was placed in it. The Guardian Unlimited article has had some impact on how the Aqua Detox and its imitators are marketed. Some marketers admit that the colors are due entirely to electrode conversion, and there is less emphasis on toxin removal and more emphasis on the " balancing " of " energy " that is not measurable with scientific instruments (and is therefore untestable.) But the bottom line is very simple. All such devices should be considered medically worthless. Good Luck! I wouldn't spend a dime on this worthless therapy. > > Does anyone have any experience with foot bath detox? My chiropractor is pushing it, but I am skeptical.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Anne - I could probably use a good detoxing now too. I am quite skeptical about the foot bath detox thing. (Look on www.youtube.com to see a guy detox a carrot using that machine and getting identical results to what my experience was). I would love to think that it works, but I don't know. My chiro has a new machine, and so, of course, he thinks everyone needs to be detoxed!! (When you have a new hammer, everything looks like a nail!!) He claims that his whole family has used it and gotten lots of creepy stuff out, except for his 3 yr old, -- when he did him, the water didn't change color at all. That sounds interesting, except that from what I've read, the water always changes color somewhat, even if nobody's feet are in the bath. I have heard from people on other forums who swear by these foot baths. So --- I'm going to keep researching it and see if I can find some studies or convincing research, and until then, I can find better uses for $35. : ) AmyFrom: Anne R <amacgruder@...> Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 6:38:53 PMSubject: Re: foot bath detox Hi Amy, I have only seen the little patches you can put on your feet at the drug store, but have no idea if they work.

I'd be interested to know if this really works too. My body could probably use a good detoxing right about now. But I don't really have the money to spend on something that might not work.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 One of the local TV news programs (local is Little Rock, AR) did a report on the patches you put on your feet to detox and proved that they are a ripoff. They actually have a lessening amount of something in them and the sweat from your feet makes them turn color. They do nothing to draw toxins out of your body. BTW, sorry I have not been writing for who knows how long been having problems with where my hubby and I are living due to the landlords refusing to keep it up which has led to some pretty severe mold problems which does nothing to help my chronic illnesses. I have had my doctor tell me I need to get out of here ASAP. Just cannot afford it until we pay off the car that we started a 5 year loan on in April 2005. Then we will be able to start saving up either for 1st and last or 1st and security deposit on a much better maintained rental place or to start saving up for a downpayment on a place to own. So, we are figuring about 1 1/2 years to 2 years until we are able to move which will involve getting rid of all furniture that is not plastic or metal in nature. The fun part will be moving the 30 gallon aquarium but it might be easier now that we only have 3 fish and a snail in it (the 1 foot long plecostamus will be the funnest part of that move and it will also be difficult to figure out how to keep as much water as possible so do not have to risk killing all the fish if need to do a total reset of the tank). Will start research on moving a tank that is that large and has been set up for over 4 years in about 1 year. If I have to, I will freecycle the fish and get new ones after do a total restart. T. aka Pegasus -- foot bath detox Does anyone have any experience with foot bath detox? My chiropractor is pushing it, but I am skeptical.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Oh Pegasus!! MOLD!! NO!!! not mold! That can be so VERY dangerous!! There must be SOME way for you to be able to get out of there! asap!! I agree. even the car may be less valuable... Wouldn't 'Suze Orman' tell you to get rid of the car and just get OUT? Your health, your life even, maybe comes first? Maybe you could housesit? or get into public housing for the time being? I think that having a toxic mold situation would put you near the top of the list? I think definitely worth heavy 'option' pushing!! PLEASE!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I would get rid of the car if I had not already looked at all the good and bad sides of getting rid of the car. I have had the experience in the past where I bought a car that ended up repoed - the lending company sold it but for $3000 less than I still owed on it which meant I still needed to pay off that difference and they wanted it all up front because it was no longer a secured debt. Hate to say it, but long as you owe on a car, it is best to get it paid off before even thinking of getting rid of it - not only that but it is our only vehicle which means "no car, hubby no work" (OOPS! Much worse situation!) As to public housing, looked into that as well, hubby earns too much. I think the worst part of the whole mess is that most of the meds I am on are over the counter which means they can cost around $200 6 months or so (not that much, I know, but my prescription meds - 3 prescriptions - are maybe $5 a month with an additional prescription that is about $20 every 6 months and 1 that is about $5 every 6 months, the last 2 are "as needed" meds - all the OTCs are must take all the time as are the first 3 prescription meds) T. aka Pegasus -- foot bath detox Does anyone have any experience with foot bath detox?
