so, this is really weird. i ordered an ionic foot detox. yesterday i did it for the first time. i was feeling ok yesterday, not awesome or anything. a few hours after the foot detox, i had a horrible headache and then i started having bizzare sensations a few hours later. Like I started crying because the sensations were so bizzare.
Can a detox footbath really do this or is it just coincidence? Ive had no other issues with regular foot baths or detox baths.

It took me about 6 months to recover from an ionic foot detox bath. Felt like it pulled a lot of needed minerals out of my body...I felt very, very drained.

So yes, the ionic foot baths can have side-effects...

Thanks for posting this. I've considered them, but couldn't find enough info. to make a decision. How long of a session did you 2 do?

I did 30 minutes and bought one on amazon. I'm kinda scared to do it again. My whole body would kinda go flush. I don't know how to describe it but it freaked me out for sure.

I don't blame you for being hesitant to use it again. I wonder if they vary much between brands. If you don't mind me asking, which brand did you get?

I think it was the bioenergizer or something like that.

Thanks. I wonder if you'd have different results from a different brand. There are so many of them on the market, so no telling what each maker does.

I love my ionic footbath but there are certain things you have to do to prevent nasty side effects.

Start off at the lowest setting and only do 10 minutes otherwise you're asking for trouble.

Drink lots of fluids beforehand and take extra magnesium directly afterwards.

The bath not only takes out the nasty things,it depletes the body of minerals.

Don't do anything strenuous after the detox,lie down for 30 minutes and relax.

When I did my first bath nearly 2 years ago,I didn't follow these rules and woke up the next day in agony.

I do 4 baths in 8 days and then 3 weeks off,during this time I do the normal Epsom salts/Hydrogen Peroxide routine.

If you follow these tips you shouldn't have any problems,I'm convinced that it has helped me get to the level of healing that I have today :-)

Hope this helps.

Tickled;
I thought when you take a bath with epson salt that adds magnesium into your body. Why would you have to add magnesium. Or is that only with the foot bath?

It's only with the ionic footbath :-)

I take extra magnesium after the bath,of course when I do a normal detox there is no need for it.

Usually my quota of magnesium comes from my daily intake of 2000mg of Green Lipped Mussel extract.

Thanks for that info. TICKLEDPINK. I knew some people used them with no problems.
