They aren't considered a part of protocol. There have been various reports from people who have used them.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I agree with , that foot baths fall in the category of Andy doesn't promote their use, but I don't believe he thinks they are harmful either, and if they help you feel better, then they're ok to use. I think he doesn't want people to think that they can detox all the metals out of their bodies by this method, and that chelation is necessary to do that. I have never remembered reading any warnings about not to use them, like we have with FIR saunas. So if they are making you feel better, then I agree with , I don't see any harm in doing them.---------Jackie In frequent-dose-chelation wrote: > > What is the rationale for not including them? Everything that Andy includes in his protocol is based on scientific evidence. I assume that there is no scientific evidence that foot baths do anything to help to remove metals from the body. He would be a better person to ask. I don't see what harm they could do. Is it simply that > they've not been tested in conjunction with the protocol? Or concerns > with adequate mineral replacement?
