I have in fact not only heard of such treatment, but have had it done. The one that you speak of is just a different name. The treatment that I had done was called Ion Cleanse and I was so taken by the results, that I am purchasing a unit to use in my business as a Complimentary Health Care Practitioner. It detoxifies the body more effectively and faster than most other protocols with little or no stress to the user. Based on negatively and positively charged ions which thru the process of osmosis, remove toxins thru your feet into a salt solution footbath.
I have been troubled with bursitis in my achilles tendon from an accident 1 year ago and was having difficulty walking. After one treatment, the pain was significantly reduced almost to the point that I forgot that I had a problem in that area.
