Re: Detox Foot Bath?-www.4ebr.com

Here is a respected spa owners experience with one:

I don't sell them and wouldn't advise anyone to either buy them or pay for sesions in them. You can get the same effect by collecting rain water from rusty auto parts in a junkyard and soaking your feet in it (but thats not saying that you should do that either!).

I have never seen anyone claim that soaking your feet in rusty water has any health benefits. No one should take anecdotal evidence by those who are selling them or selling sessions with them as convincing evidence either. No one knows the effect that soaking your feet in rusty water has but it apparently gives some people headaches.

As for any supposed toxins that are present in the water, ie, magically removed from the body through the feet(!), studies show they are not toxins but ferrous material corroded from an electrode.

Don't believe it? Take this test: set up the foot bath unit just as if someone were going to use it, then run it for the recommended time with no one in it. Voila! Magical toxins appeared in the water!? Where could they have come from!? Where else but from the machine?

Please write back again once you've completed that test. Or see the beginning of this thread for a decription of what happened when the guys' doctor did that.
