Ionic Foot Detox
7 Signs of Toxic Buildup
How can you tell if your body is full of toxins? Here are seven signs that you should consider.
Constant Fatigue: Even though you may be sleeping well, you struggle just to get through the day. Low energy levels could be due to an overworked immune system.
Stubborn Weight Gain: As we age, it can be difficult to lose weight. However, if you are exercising daily and cutting calories and still putting on pounds, your problem may be hormonal. Your hormone functions can be greatly affected by the toxic build up in your body from processed foods, pesticides, cosmetics, medications, cleaning supplies, and environmental pollutants.
Bad Breath: If you brush your teeth on a regular basis, and gargle with mouthwash, but it doesn’t seem to help, it could be due to digestive or liver problems.
Chronic Constipation: For optimal health, we need to have bowel eliminations at least twice a day. When fecal waste remains in the body for too long, toxins are reabsorbed and can cause headaches, fatigue, and joint pain.
Sensitivity to Fragrances: Fragrances are in everything from dish soap to cosmetics. Many of these products contain harmful chemicals that can affect your body. A sign of toxic overload is an upset stomach or sudden headache after exposure to certain fragrances.
Muscle and Joint Pain: It is natural to have muscles spasms the following day after a hard workout at the gym. However, if you are having muscle and joint pain on a regular basis, this can be due to toxic buildup in your joints and muscles.
Skin Conditions Acne, rashes, boils, puffy eyes, eczema and psoriasis outbreaks are all signs that you are on toxic overload.
What are Toxins?
Our cells absorb chemicals from the food we eat, the products we use, and the air we breathe. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that we are regularly exposed to more than 20,000 chemicals in our environment, which our bodies cannot metabolize. The toxic substances that we do eliminate are stored in our fat cells and organs causing an epidemic of modern diseases and obesity. It is believed that the average mature American carries over 5 lbs. of toxins in their cells. The Columbia University School of Public Health reports that 95% of cancers are caused by diet and environmental toxicity. Some diseases and disorders directly linked to environmental toxins including Gout Allergies Thyroid Disorders Fibromyalgia Drug Addiction Cancer Chronic Fatigue Diabetics Obesity Arthritis
Poisons in our body travel to our liver for detoxification. However, if your liver is overloaded and unable to properly detox your body the toxins will be stored in other cells of your body.
In a 2009 survey, 126 users of ionic detox systems were asked what specific health benefits they or their clients received from using ionic detox foot bath systems. Their answers included: pain relief (42), including less joint stiffness, less headaches, less knee pain, less foot pain, less general muscle pain and more, increased energy (29), improved sleep (23), improved digestion (10), toxin reduction (9), decreased swelling (9), circulatory system improvement (9), reduced weight (8), skin improvements (8), emotional improvements (5), respiratory improvements and much more. In a 2020 Autism study using HEALTHandMED’s IonizeMe Maxx, 20 males with autism, age 3 to 21 years old, underwent ionic detox for 4 months and were evaluated using ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist) scores. ATEC is considered valid for clinical diagnosis of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and evaluates speech/language, sociability, sensory/ cognitive awareness and health/physical. The average and median decrease in autism symptoms from this study were 53% and 56% respectively. Ionic Detox has been shown to 7 In a 2018 controlled study with 19 participants, the therapy group who underwent ionic detox treatments 3 times per day for 1 month had a 48% decrease in glyphosate (Roundup™M) in their urine samples, compared to a 14% decrease in the control group. Remove toxins, free radicals and body waste products that can cause health problems (In an August 2004 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 (crsllc.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 79.8ppb (parts per billion) to 43.1 ppb. The average blood arsenic level decreased 24% from 4.6 ppb to 3.5 ppb. In a 2002 study, there was an average increase in toxic metals found in the foot basin from nine 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%. In a 2017 controlled study of persons with myasthenia gravis, the therapy group who underwent ionic detox treatments for 3 months experienced a 38% decrease in myasthenia gravis symptoms, compared to a 5% increase in the control group. Improve body alkalinity. 97% of health problems are caused by high acidity in the body in which their blood pH is lower than 7.45. Toxins cause the body to be acidic. All cancer patients and diabetic patients are highly acidic. Those who are on heavy medications are also highly acidic.
