So, I just finish paying $100 USD for 3 sessions of the ionic foot detox bath. I've decided that it may be benifical for me to just buy my own. After all, how great would it be to detox my grandpa with arthritis and my dad with years of smoking damage, and pain pills from surgeries? So I started to do my research, and almost everything I've seen is negative. I am a type one diabetic and I have lyphedema in my left leg. I was a heavy smoker for about 10 years. I went to have my feet detoxed for a 3 day period. (once a day for 30 mins). The first day the water turned very black very fast. I was told it was detoxing my lungs and liver. She showed me a large amount of heavy metals that came out of my body also. The next morning I felt a bit nauseous and had a head ache, which I was told might be a side effect.
On day two the water was much more green and brown, with a bit of foam at the top. She said I was detoxing yeast or candida, know to cause diseases and cancers when built up in the body. Although there was no white foam indicating lymphatic detox I did feel movement or pain in my leg like something was happening. I also felt a pulsating pain in my kidney where I have a swollen lyphnode. I also saw very tiny parasites that looked like mini white rice. She also said that she could see some cholesterol coming out. My last cholesterol blood test was 113, a bit high but not too bad.
On day 3 when I went in the water was more orange indicating that my joints were detoxing, during this I felt sharp pain in my lower back, I told her and she looked at the water and said that my joints were detoxing, I do have a stiff back most of the time.
Although I didnt notice a huge difference I did notice some. I feel that I am breathing better and I was a bit more energetic.
Overall I think that there may be something to all of this. Your body detoxes in 3 ways: Kidney, fecal matter and through pours in the skin.
So I dont think that this method is too far fetched.

I have two of these footbath units and have used them for over two years. I find that they work, but they have different effects on different people. I seen lots of crap come out in the water with me, but I am an active person. More stuff comes out when I massage my legs with body lotion during the treatment. When I first began to use the footbath there was a good deal of white foam and curdy stuff that looked like cottage cheese. The water frequently smelled like liver or fish. I cut back drastically on dairy products and peanut butter and there is no more foam---my doctor said that the milk and peanut butter were causing congestion, which is what the foam was. Now there is a good deal of black stuff in the footbath. There is no smell to it; this is after 2.5 years of using it once a week. It always makes me very sleepy while it is running. I have run the footbath for a man who had cancer and very little came out; with him there was a small amount of green matter floating on top of the water. I have run the footbath for a woman who was had been married to three men who had been heavy smokers; a thin, black, oily substance came out of her. She was always terribly ill with flu-like symptoms for a week after the footbath. She was a fairly active person who walked for exercise. I ran the footbath for a woman who had been in a nursing home for two years and who was barely mobible; she had poor circulation and had had pneumonia three times of which we knew; one of those instances of pneumonia was staph pneumonia; she had constant kidney infections due to e. coli. But the footbath didn't make her sick; she said that her joints felt better after she used it. Not much showed up in the water when she used it. There was a good deal of what looked like orange algae. The water smelled like fish and liver when she used it. All these baths were run in Nashville, Tenn, with city water, using sea salt and water that had been filtered with a Paragon filter. Often when I feel like something's pulling on my feet while I do the footbath. I always get very sleepy during the bath but engergized afterward. It's not a miracle cure, and doesn't work for everyone, such as my friend who had the flu symptoms, but it has made me feel better. I sleep better, I'm losing weight, I have more energy, and, above all, my joints don't hurt anymore. I also don't have that feeling of overall pain.
