EVIDENCE THAT IT WORKS
Ionic detoxing has been shown to:
Remove toxins, free radical and body waste products that can cause health problems. (In an Aug. '04 study by Carlos A. Lopez-Moreno, MD, there was a significant deposit of urea, creatinine and glucose in the foot basin in 12 patients with chronic illnesses.)
In a 2008 study by Center for Research Strategies (crslic.org), 31 participants underwent ionic detox two times per week for 12 weeks. The amount of aluminum and arsenic in their blood was measured before and after the 12 weeks. The average blood aluminum level decreased by 46%, from 79.8 ppb (parts per billion) to 43.1 ppb. The average blood arsenic level decreased 24% from 4.6 to 3.5 ppb.
In a 2002 study by Doctor's Data in St. Charles, IL, there was an average increase in toxic metals found in the foot basin from 9 independent sessions. Here is a list of metals that increased in concentration: Copper: 905%, Aluminum 339%, lead 233%, Iron 174%, Manganese 140%, Antimony 128%, Cadmium 119%.
Improve body alkalinity. Approximately 95% of people experienced a state of acidity in which their blood pH is lower than 7.45, indicating an excess of hydrogen ions. This makes an ideal breeding ground for worms, parasites, microorganisms and other critters that lower the body to fight off disease.
Increased Alkalinity
Stops inactive viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus
