Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 What specifically are they trying to detox? I tried pads on my feet a few years ago and did not notice anything. Basically they contain a wood vinegar solution that changes color and they try to tell you it is toxins being pulled out. You certainly can pull toxins out via the skin but I don't have confidence they did anything in that form for me. Cheri -----Original Message----- I saw a product on tv the other day that is supposed to detoxify your body and wanted to see if anyone here has tried it or knows anything about it. Personally, I'm alwyas sceptical of products advertiesed and sold on tv. This one are pads you put on the bottom of your feet while you sleep and it supposedly pulls out all the toxins in your body.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some say they worked, others say it is a rip off. This lists the ingredients, so yes, it is the same one I used. http://www.takarapatch.com/takarapatchingredients.htm I guess a person doesn't know until they try but I wasn't impressed. The wood vinegar reacts with the your normal body secretions like bacteria and sweat. I am not sure using a purer vinegar would cause that color change. I think it is more something in the wood vinegar because of the way it is made. You could take gauze, soak in a pure organic apple vinegar like apple cider vinegar, and see if it changes color too on the foot. If it does, then you found a cheaper solution, lol. I would rather put apples on my feet then burned wood. Ha! ha! I think you can get the same effect by mixing apple cider vinegar with magnetic clay and make a " mask " and cover your feet until it dries...leave on for awhile then wash off. You could even do it overnight and put socks to collect the fragmented clay. I do facial masks to clear up my skin and have done them on my feet. I would use it on more of my body but my skin is too thin and it rips my skin. Magnetic clay (i.e. bentonite clay) has the negative ion effect the foot pads claim is how they detoxify. And it would be a lot cheaper for you without anything toxic like wood vinegar could be based on how they process it. Wood vinegar is cheap and they charge ridiculous prices for those pads. It probably costs them 50 cents to make at most. Especially if they aren't all organic. I even use the ACV and clay combo on just specific zits when I get them and leave it on overnight. Many go away within a couple of days. When I travel, I take my homemade clay and put it in little baggy and pack with me. Before my skin was so thin I used to do the entire face and neck and leave on for hours, and after I washed it off and went out people would always tell me how nice my skin was. It also gave me a temporary face lift and I didn't need makeup like foundation. Cheri -----Original Message----- Ah, this is probably the same thing then. So the color change isn't from the toxins that have been drawn out, but fromt he vinegar changing color.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes, these are very popular right now. Our local health food store herbal consultant said everyone is asking for them, However, she recommended a small jar of Dead Sea mud which you can put whereever you choose and detox to some degree. I tried it on the soles of my feet and on the acne I have at 54 re AF and Hypo, etc. Also soaking in the dead sea salt bath is recommended as a system detox, but then epsom salts was the 'folk lore' solution. I haven't read any studies on this, but I felt better the next day. Anyone know more? Thanks, > > Ah, this is probably the same thing then.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Know more about which? The dead sea mud is good, and yes, does detox. Epsom salts are good for magnesium for some and also a lot of mercury toxic people have good results with them but I am not sure if it is a detox thing or a magnesium replenishment thing.
