I read about Detox Pads on this forum for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I was inclined to try these pads because I have been suffering from lower back pain for almost 6 weeks. I have had lower back pain issues off and on for the past 5 years, but I have not had pain this bad in almost 3 years. I had been going to the chiropractor for a month with some improvement and relief, but not the type of improvement I had previously experienced for my pain.

On the day I read about these paids, I was in major pain. My lower back is aggravated from sitting upright in a chair, which is something I must do 5 days a week at my job. The pain would get so bad that I would have to close my office door and lay on the floor and do stretches just to loosen up my muscles and reduce the pain somewhat. Some days, I was brought to tears from the pain. Every time I would stand up from my chair, I would have to lean on my desk for support and slowly straighten up, giving my muscles times to adjust to the changed position. So .. back to my point .. the day I read about these pads I was in major major pain. So I ordered 10 pads from Zidiz. I was willing to try anything and everything for some relief.

The pads arrived last weekend. Sunday night I placed a pad on the sole of each foot and one on my lower left back region. Keep in mind that the day prior to using these pads, I had been doubled over in pain and crying from pain after a 1.5 hour drive where I had to sit upright in my car.

When I awoke the next morning, I rolled over in bed and did not even feel a twinge of pain in my lower left back. I thought to myself that the true test would be when I got up out of bed. I was fully expecting to feel the gnawing pain at that point, but I did not. I stood up like a normal person with hardly any pain and I didn't have to do it slowly or stop and give my muscles time to catch up with me.

I was amazed. I didn't mention this to anyone because I thought that maybe my pain would return throughout the day and that the pads had just been a temporary fix. I sat in my chair all day long at work as usual and experienced about an 80% reduction in pain from the previous work week. I was so happy that I told a co-worker that afternoon what I had used to get rid of my pain.

Since the pain in my lower left back was so reduced, it allowed me to notice the slight pain in my lower right back. So on Monday night I placed a pad on each side of my lower back. On Tuesday, the pain in both regions was reduced. Again, I went through the day at work with no pain, only a little soreness in my muscles. But no PAIN!!

So last night I placed a pad in the middle of my back as yesterday, with no lower back pain dominating my senses, I felt some tension and tightness in the middle of my back. This morning ... no tightness in my middle back. I am feeling a little soremenss in my lower left back, so I will again place a pad there tonight.

I am very pleased with the results I have received from these pads. I am simply amazed. I usually do not use natural rememdies, other than taking a multivitamin, vitamin C and glucosamine. I have told my friends and family about these pads and I plan to order more for myself and for them. I can only assume that the contents in these pads cleansed out toxins that were causing the inflammation in my back.

I appologize for my lengthy post, but I just wanted to let others know, who may be skeptical about these pads, that they at least worked for me and they are worth purchasing 10 just to see if they might work for your aches and pains as well.

I do have one question though. Does anyone know how long I should use them to guarantee all of the toxins are cleansed out? Do I used them until they are not longer moist and wet in the mornings?
