Ionic detoxification baths are a pleasant, non-invasive way for most people to detoxify the
body. A computer program runs varying amounts of positive or negative current through a
water bath. All you do is put your feet into the water and relax for 20 to 30 minutes.

While you are relaxing, the water will start to change color, and in a short while, you will see
sediment accumulating. Believe it or not, this sediment and discoloration is coming out of your
body! How is it so? The negative and positive ions attract toxins, and pull them out of you via
osmosis. That is, when the water has a higher negative charge than your body tissues, positive
ions will be pulled out of you and into the water. This is good, because heavy metal toxins have
a positive charge, and this is a very effective way of cleansing yourself from heavy metal and
other toxins. After a few minutes, the polarity switches to positive, and negatively charged toxins
will be pulled from your body.

Different people produce different colors and sediments. With repeated treatments, you will see
different colors and sediments coming from yourself. Sometimes an oily residue also appears on
the water.

The benefits of this type of footbath include detoxification, stimulation and balancing of the body’s
energy meridians, and increased cellular metabolic rates and ATP production. ATP is a natural
body chemical that extracts energy from your food and makes it available for numerous
physiologic functions in the body. Put simply, you feel great, sleep better, have more energy and
an improved outlook on life. In addition, aches, pains, and other conditions may be greatly
alleviated. If you see the sludge that this treatment produces, you will have no doubt about the effectiveness of this modality!

Certainly, some color and sedimentation appears in the water without a person’s feet in the
footbath. However, comparisons show there is a remarkable difference in the colors and
sediments seen in the water after treatment of just water, and water and feet! To learn more,

You can have your sediment tested. They can test for metals, petroleum-based substances, and
volatiles such as benzene, toululene and xylene. One sample I had tested validated that there
was a high amount of lead in the footbath water after the detox footbath. This was important to
the client because he had worked at Red Dog Mine, and had high exposure to lead and zinc.
Other testing options are before and after hair analysis and blood testing, to track changes in
your toxin levels.

There are also nutritional supplements that can be taken orally to support the Detox process and
have been proven to be extremely effective in facilitating both reabsorption and discharge of
toxins from the body. To purchase detoxification nutritional supplements go to http://shop.wholisticcenter.com/category.sc?categoryId=99

Ionic baths are contra-indicated for people with pacemakers or other electrical devices implanted in the body, people with transplants or on medications that regulate heart rate, or leave you at serious
risk if the blood level of the medication drops due to detoxification. This might include medication for seizures, phychotropic drugs, and others. If you are pregnant or lactating, I believe it is best to
forego serious detoxification, including ionic baths, since any form of detoxification will leave
some toxins stirred up in your body, and toxins can cross the placenta and harm a developing
baby, and cross into breast milk. People who are in weakened condition may need to use shorter time in the footbath.

Most people who try the ionic detox baths feel better. Why not try it for yourself!
