I would sure use the pads you bought.
follow what the company says to do,
and esp notice what you see in pad content next day.
Dr. V suggested that a person start with only one foot first,
and that being the right foot on the ball of the foot about,
where the liver/ area is.
Do you have access to any refexology charts?
Look at bottoms of feet and compare areas with the charts.
Even just massaging these energy endings will help unblock and begin
healing to those organs related to those areas.
just because yours are different colors does not mean that they are not good.
If it were me, I certainly would use them , and believe that i made a good
purchase and they will do their job.
Our thoughts can greatly alter effectiveness of anything.
Dr.V also made a point to say there were good product companies out there,
and also you can get them tested (even if not bodypure ones I think) thru a lab,
connected with his company at a modest lab fee for what toxins were drawn out into
the pads.
his pads are a bit pricey, but all his employees i think are volunteers,
and all profits are used towards helping the Autistic childrens home
where he does research on helping them plus helps supply them with pads,
since they have proven to be a gentle detox for these kids and they have seen
incredible growth in them adjustign back to more normal lives.
Hope this helps.
