Hello, I want to try detoxing with a foot bath.

First of all, please let me know if you think they help with Lyme detoxing. I am interested in the ones that are known to "turn the water brown or black". I would guess that means it works?

Please let me know basics about the specs if you are an expert in this area. I don't know the first place to reliably research this. All google shows me is a bunch of products that are supposedly the best product out there. If you have one that you use that works well please tell me who makes it.

thanks,

I don't think that stuff that advertises it turns the water colors is useful at all. I think it's a gimmick.

A simple solution of one or two cups of epsom salts to a cup of hydrogen peroxide is all you need for a basic good foot soaking detox. It's cheaper too.

I use about a cup of the salts, I don't even bother measuring.

Once you are used to this, you can advance if you want, to an entire bath soak to detox a larger skin area.

You will want to do a dry skin brushing first, in any case, to remove dead skin cells and open pores. You'll need a natural bristle brush and a long handle works best.

You can order the natural bristle brushes on line, or get them places that carry bath accessories. I am able to get the tampico bristle brushes at a Big Lots store for under $4.

Here are some suggestions from one of our other Moderators(Traveler) for epsom salt soaks:

"For a foot soak - which is sometimes easier to fit in your day, although it's not as effective. It's still better than not doing it at all -
I use 1 & 1/2 and up to 2 cups of Epsom salts and 16 ounces of peroxide and soak my feet for 20 minutes.

For the full bath, use 3 - 4 cups of Epsom Salt and 32 ounces of hydrogen peroxide and start with no more than 7 - 10 minutes in the water to start. You can build up to staying in the water for up to 20 minutes, but please start off very slowly!! This has the potential to make you herx if you rush it"

I put Epsom salt or baking soda. Sometimes I add apple cider vineger.

The detox baths always make me feel better. My favorite detox.

My favorite detox bath recipe: 1 cup of epsom salt, 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of sea salt, 1 cup of aloe vera juice... heck.. add a bit of lavender essential oil as well.

Enjoy! I do footsie soaks now because the plumber said, no more salts down our old pipes.

The op might be interested to here others' (besides mine) opinions on the commercial foot soaks that say they change colors when they get the toxins out.

I used foot detox pads once - and it was not a good experience. I'm not sure if I was reacting to some of the ingredients, or if it just detoxed me too fast or what - but I was sick as a dog for about 3 days afterwards. The pads turned dark black in color. I only use the Epsom salt & peroxide foot soaks now.

I use the ionic baths ..it does do something ...i think any machine that does 12-18v and 1.8 to 3.0amps ..does adaquate job ..the thing is the array ...the oxidatuon will turn the water rust color from the betal with or without feet but the blood drbris lymph and liver stuff is defitativley from me ...

the array should be thr flat blade stainless steel quality ones american is better ..the coil round ones seem kinda cheap ..also some have grounding attachment or fir belt ...seem superflous to me ... a 12 volt transformer and a stela blade would do it but safety and other thing are nice ..polarity switch etc ..

imo minerals should be supplemented ..when i went around and washed peoples feet ...i theorized that it was killing or paralyzing parasites via voltage scenario ala hulda clark ...

i would spend a few bills but the machines that cost thousands may be as good as home made american ones ...i have not looked in a while but we sourced ours from taiwan with case and again the flat blade arrays ...

lymeassassin-Better health guy posts about the IonCleanse by AMD

On his Facebook page under one of his posts people posted stating it helped them and their family members a lot. You can do a site search on his FB page. If you post a question for him he will respond.

He interviewed a holistic health practitioner on the subject of detoxification and the IonCleanse. You can listen to it here. /www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsnxEGLX8UM

My LLND just recommended that I get one of these. She said the water turning colors has nothing to do with it; that it's just a reaction that would happen even with no feet in the bath. What happens is you absorb the ions and they help you detox through your kidneys (I think that was the organ she said).

She said over time they see people's metal and toxic load go down while using this. It's not a quick fix.

She recommended www.platinumenergysystems.ca. Their prices aren't listed, but I believe they're not cheap.

I just got an ionize me set up $340
The reason the water changes color without feet is because of minerals, metals and salt in the water. The arrays do not corrod that fast they are stainless steel. There is one study done on these, it's sloppy but shows it does remove a lot of stuff over time. The biggest issue is the study was done on "healthy" people not folks like us.
People who use them love them those who don't call it quackery.
