Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 My dd and I have been using the foot pads for 18 days, one on each foot. The first night I used them, I slept a full 8 hours for the first time in many years - about a 25% decrease over a typical night for me. When I went in to take dd's off, she woke up long enough to mumble " I think they made me sleep better " . We are still experiencing improved sleep, so some people might want to try them for that reason, even if they're not sure about the detoxing. Tay is pretty sensory, but the pads don't bother her. I've seen a few people question whether the pads are simply absorbing sweat, discoloring the herbs. I don't think that's true, for a couple of reasons. First, the consistency of the fluid that is under a saturated pad is gooey, nothing like sweat. My feet have never sweat at night, and this looks much more like the stuff that starts coming through your skin after a few infrared sauna sessions. It was described to me as " lymph beginning to move " at the spa. I haven't researched this, so it could be total bunk. Whatever it is, it's very unlike sweat as I know it. Secondly, my pads are beginning to be a bit less saturated, although dd's are still working overtime. I wear them 8 hours each night and the last couple nights there have been dry/white areas of the patches. I bought mine off ebay, choosing someone with repeat buyers and a great price. I figure I can buy the fancy gold package ones and try them AFTER the cheap ones go clear. I've also seen people ask whether they were safe to use with amalgams. I have amalgams and I know what it feels like when I take something that moves the metal. Before I found this group, I took an enzyme product with 100mg ala per dose. Big setback - an experience you don't forget. If these pads were moving metal out of my mouth, I feel pretty confident I would feel it in short order. I have 9 amalgams and 2 are broken, so plenty of surface area to pull from. Hope this helps someone who is considering trying the pads. Darla [sPAM] just an update on ZK ZKs been better, all of a sudden. I know when you give a lot of supps it's hard to know what is helping, but something apparently is working better for him, at least yesterday. I bought the PatchIt foot detox patches and he is sleeping lighter, not wetting the bed the last 2 nites, and had a really good day on Tues. in school and at home. I will make sure to give the s.boulardii in the a.m. with the culturelle. Is it ok to mix it w/a little rice milk or cow milk and aloe juice? He usu. gets his isotonic supps before breakfast on empty stomach, then the B Vit with food. I am not sure when to add in the MCT and Yeast Fighter. If it has to be two hrs away from the s. boulardii, and he gets that and the culturelle in the a.m., then the MCT won't happen til after his school day. He did not get the MCT and yeast fighter before school yesterday and that was his best day in about 2 weeks. Anyone else have any good success with the foot patches? BTW, I have an online h.food. store and can get quite a bit at cost. Let me know how I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
