Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I saw that commercial too. I have not heard anything about it. I say clean your system from the inside out with healthy veggies, water, grains and wholesome food. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " Rayne " <stargazerlily72 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:12:52 OT: Fact or Quack I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the detox stuff that " works " through your feet. I've seen patches and a foot spa thingy. Supposedly drawing the toxins out of your body through the bottom of your feet. The patches turn dark and the water in the foot spa turns dark, the color depends on how many toxins you have in your body. I am just having a hard time believing it. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or knows anymore about it. Thanks in advance for any info! BB, Rayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hahahaha. You know if you think they work maybe they do just a little bit huh? I had the worst stiff neck you could have and tried everything even a handful of Vicodin which did nothing, didn't even nake me high.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 they are total BS. Google foot pads scam, or foot bath scam and you will see. regarding the foot bath, they simply flip a switch and the water ionizes to create that color while reacting to your skin.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I cannot vouch for all brands (there are many scam artists out there in all fields), but the theory is definitely legitimate. The skin is your largest organ of elimination in the body. Even though you may eat well (I have been macrobiotic for over 20 years now and rarely take any medication), you may have toxins from other sources built up in your body. I would love to be able to afford one of the foot spas. But I have purchased some of the patches. They get VERY black and oozy. I had them tested at an independent lab and they found a ton of aluminum, mercury and other heavy metals, in addition to some drugs in the pads after I used them. (Considering all the mercury and aluminum I was exposed to as a child, I should not be surprised, but I thought 20 years of clean eating might have cleared it all out, but not according to the lab.) Herbal and salt baths and clay also draw toxins out of the body through the skin. Other cultures have used all of these to improve health for thousands of years.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Umbian clay is very good. Fresh makes an awesome skin care line with a lot of the active ingredients are sugar and soy. Umbian clay exfoliates and draws out the impurities of the skin. Sugar is a great exfoliate as well they have a wonderful scrub called >Brown Sugar Body Polish....I love it --mzyummydread...dreaming of rainbows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Have no experience with the foot pads, but last year I purchased a far infrared home sauna to help eliminate toxins, and had the old mercury fillings in my teeth replaced. This was after I began following new eating principles, and was able to wean myself off of some long term RX medications that had been negatively impacting my health for many years. It's made a significant difference in the way I feel, as well as in my weight and appearance. Am not going advocate this here specifically (although I'm NOT selling anything), but you can write to me directly if you'd like more info on what I do. The point I want to make about toxicity is that vegetarians can be uniquely vulnerable to tissue accumulation of environmental toxins, and that can contribute to significant health problems. The US banned DDT in 1970 for instance, and we tend to think that we're safe from it, but it's not a worldwide ban. Many of our fresh vegetables and fruits are now imported, and come from countries which still allow DDT and may not regulate pesticides or the use of other crop chemicals. Imported processed foods and seasonings can also be affected. Homegrown or local organic produce is best, but can be inconvenient and/or prohibitively expensive. Washing all fresh vegetables and fruits before use with plain baking soda and water is a good practice, no matter what their origin (you can buy a plastic shaker for it, easy to keep next to the sink). The person who started this thread labeled it off topic, but it's really a very pertinent food supply issue which can have a negative impact on the health of anyone who follows a vegetarian diet. All that we can do is be aware, and take care of ourselves as best we can. Please be well. Barbara ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks for the tip about the fruit. I have to admit that I hardly think about where our fruit comes from and didn't think about the fact that other countries still use chemicals that we no longer use. If only the whole world could go organic!! Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile. Try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
