Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD holds the view that the true value of foot bath devices is that they mobilize toxins in the body and then those toxic elements are removed through normal detox channels. He said he has found that there’s only minimal evidence that toxic elements are moved into the water.   [End]

So I’ve been taking Chlorella along with cilantro as chelation therapy for about a few months to detox from What feels like unapologetic metal toxicity of lead/thallium/cesium. At first, when taking it I had no issues with the chlorella/cilantro. I’ve been taking it for about 2 months straight. I ended up taking some ibuprofen, which did not agree with my system. It took me a good couple of months to heal from that, but it caused issues with my sternum/stomach in terms of sensitivity. It created a large burning feeling that took a couple of months to recover about 80% from. After that deba ...

Hmm well I think I finally get the subtext. What you’re saying is that the idea behind both an ionic foot bath and colloidal silver is the negative ion aspect of them. When you were presenting colloidal silver as an alternative, I didn’t 100% understand that. If I have that correct, that would have been helpful to know. I am still slightly confused as to what the bad part of the ionic bath is but to be honest I’m not exactly keen on buying equipment for foot bathing, so if colloidal silver addresses the same issues, then I’m fine with that. I do know that some people were doing both which ...

Can you at least elaborate on why your stance hasn’t changed given my link? That’s sort of why I posted it, he addressed your specific concern... it’s not just that the water changes, as the opaqueness, smell and such are different when your feet are actually in. Newport, Trapper, and some other names I’ve come to know from Iodine forums and such all said it did have a positive effect on their bodies... are you saying that this is a placebo effect? Or are you saying it doesn’t work as effectively as your Colloidal Silver suggestion? Or something else?   [End]

I know you will not like what I’m going to say, but I’m a trained IBM Engineer so I know how this works. Here it is: Ionic Foot Baths are a scam to get your money. The story is ”Look at how dark the water has become after taking an ionic bath” Yes, that is a fact, but they LIE when they say that it is caused by toxins removed from your feet. It is really caused by electrolysis between the metals used. The water is salty so it conducts a current between the metals, thusly turning the water yucky dark.

Being....Go to http://www.vitamindcouncil.org. It is far more dangerous to be deficient in vitamin d than to supplement. And, if you don’t happen to live on the equator, pretty darn hard to raise levels as the sun only is strong enough in the summer and most of us work in an office. You have to have most of the skin exposed (bathing suit or nude) to make enough vitamin D to raise levels without supplementing. I took 1,000iu D3 for years and was concerned about over doing it, but when I had my level tested, it was 12ng/ml -- severely deficient. Optimal ranges are 70-90ng/ml for most pe ...

actually synthetic vitamins all have side effects one such side efffect is that they inhibit the natural vitamin from being assimulated by your body. therefore synthetics work against the body and I can believe that they would do the opposite of what real vitamins from food sources do. In other words they give short term symptomatic relief but long term side effects.   [End]

Thanks!! I was supplementing with sub-lingual D when i got that cold.. I actually stopped taking D, i was wondering if my supplements weakened my immune system.. I read somewhere that D suppresses the immune system .. during the cold I only took natural things to get all my nutrients from food rather than supplements, a few days after i got better i went back on D.   [End]

Being.. Get your vitamin D level tested. Before I got my levels up I would get every cold and virus going around. I would get a cold every month or 2 and it would last 7-10 days minimum. That was when my vitamin D level was 12ng/ml --very deficient. My level is now around 72 and when I get sick, which is rare, the cold only hangs around a few days. iolite   [End]

I think, perhaps that what has been defined as a cold is just the body doing a detox from all the stress and toxins in our lives. It seems it has been years since I had a cold or flu as you have described the symptoms. A few years ago I bought a portable sauana and that has been a great detoxing tool. Now if I start getting any symptoms I either get in my sauna or do something even quicker and that is...I spread Arnica gel on my throat and upper chest and sometimes on my nose and sinus area and any sore throat is gone quickly and any congestion. I have used the Arnica gel for sore gums ...

The way one health clinic explained it to me is that the ionic foot bath is the same as walking barefoot on the beach. There is special healing energy that you receive from the ground and the ionic foot bath imitates that healing energy. I have never tried it yet, but I would rather walk barefoot on the beach or any ground as I have this summer.   [End]

Hi Is the odour caused by bacteria on the skin?? or is it coming from inside - by this I mean is it a gas leaving your system via your feet?? I have overactive sweat glands in my feet and over the years I have felt that a gas comes out bringing a smell like sewage. Some people can get odours coming from different parts of their bodies such as the chest, stomach area, hands, feet, and head. I believe internal candida can cause your feet to smell, so you could have a yeast overgrowth in your system. If the cause is external, such as bacteria on the feet, the posts below mi ...

1. Have you tried botox or drysol? 2. Do you sweat and smell? If you’re answer to question one is yes, then you should probably consider having the surgery. The surgery will definitely be effective if sweating is the problem. I smell in addition to sweating, the surgery eliminated the sweat, but the smell is still present. Please research the doctor if you decide to pursue surgery. Now, I’m in the process of having another doctor perform a new technique called Sub-Dermal Laser Ablation (SDLA) to eliminate the odor (Axillary bosmidrosis). Please research the surgeon; I was reluctant ...

Yep, you are right. The colors mean absolutely nothing. In spite of that, the system works. It’s been tested and used for over forty years. If you don’t want the water to change colors you should buy one with a graphite or titanium array. You can get a bath tub model out of California for $200 with a graphite array which will produce the same effects without all the colors. Use it as often as you like!   [End]

Hi Antique :-), I would definitely not try it if there were heart issues going on either. I’ve got hand issues :-), so I’m hesitating too :-).

Yup, I get the same discoloration when I had an HHO device on my car that injects hydrogen into the intake manifold. Using distilled water with half a teaspoon of baking soda, and having 330 stainless steel plates using direct current from the battery caused the water to discolor in a short period of time. Unfortunately, the same color as the ionic foot bath that I purchased.   [End]

Metal plates conducting electricity, especially direct current, will cause one of the plates to leach out its metals into the water which is what causes the water discoloration. It is not from some magic ultra-fast siphoning of toxins out of your body. Electricity does cause your skin to be more absorbent to whatever it is exposed to, in this case the listed metals. "Iontopheresis" is the medical use of a small direct current to heighten the ionic drug delivery in and through tissues of the body. The ionic drugs penetrate the skin from the electrodes by the current of the sam ...

The SCM-600 is about $9. more at Walmart, IOW the one you are now using- the SEM-1652A- is $20.95 and the SCM-600 is $29.95 . The SCM is switch selectable, both for voltage and for Amperage. IOW there are switches for 6V or 12V, and 2A/4A/6A as well. The higher Amperage *definitely* draws much harder- The difference is so perceptible that after I put it up to 4A, I hesitated to go for the 6A. I wanted the SCM-600 so I could do hand baths, plus I wanted to experience the results of using a higher Amperage. I know there are some commercial units out there which are up to 10A, but ...

I noticed a difference between the graters and my plates. When I did the polarity switches with the graters, I could feel tingles or electricity in my feet when I first put them in the water but not when I change polarities with the plates even though my bath water is still having the same scum, etc. Also, what is the price difference between the one I now use and the SCM 600 switch selectable?

I found a website where they actually show colored pictures of before and after pictures. The professional machines must be stronger than our homemade ones (though I’m keeping mine) because I have to use mine for 45/60 minutes in order to have the water change to dark red. They also recommend only using the footbaths 2-3 times per week and I was using mine twice a day every day. I had pressing health issues and thought it would speed up the healing. I’ll try the 2-3 times per week and see what happens. How are you other pioneers doing with yours?   [End]

Hi Forumfolk, I got tired of having to scrub out my foot bath tub every time it was used, lol.

Also makes it possible to be hygienic if you want to use the same foot bath tub for more than one person. I found that a Kitty litter Pan Liner works just fine. Whew- One less thing to do. Amen :-).
