the best i can tell, the study does not show whats going on, just what isnt, in this "proof-of-principle study". they tried to prove the claims of the people selling and using the machine they used, and those did not seem to be the case.

then the question is, "what is going on?" this would require a much different and much more expensive project.

what this study did prove is part of what this fellow said:

There are many “Ionic Detox Foot Spas” on the market and they fall into two main categories:



1. Low Power Units, mostly from China, which are not BEFE capable.





The first category includes several different ‘brands’ all using the same logic board manufactured in Shenzhen, China selling generally for under $200, which do not have enough power to provide BEFE benefit.. Those systems have variable DC current output of 10-14 volts with 1.7 to 2.1 amps of power output. They also usually come with MP3 Players, which provide electrical interference with the detox frequencies needed.



Those units require a wrist strap and/or fir belt be used. That is due to their low Digital Power. Our bodies are Analog and do not freely pull in Digital Frequency Power with low power units. To get their energy into the body, these units must GROUND THE MACHINE TO THE BODY. This is a revelation too many who own those systems due to that concept being potentially unsafe.

Effective Holistic 'machines' are Analog, not digital.

The third problem with the Chinese units is their lack of power. Virtually all those systems draw only 30 watts from the wall. That is the same power used by a refrigerator light bulb, which is not enough to do an effective detox. It IS however, enough power to release endorphins in the brain which gives you a relaxing feeling. Smoke and Mirrors.

which one did you get?
