It is a high-tech water ionizer that creates a negative ion environment that nutralizes the positive ions in our body by reverse osmosis thru the feet. This is accomplished by placing your feet with an ionizer generator called an ionic array together in a tub of warm water. An average detox session is about 30 minutes long.
There are over 4,000 pores on our feet. These pores are the outlet that the Negatrive Ion Detox Foot Spa uses to clear the toxins from our cells inside our body. During a 30 minute session the water changes to all kinds of colors. Some claim that the colors and debris in the water comes from within the body. This is a misconception and has led to many critics calling the ionic foot bath a hoax. The information in this article will help the seller, the user, and the critic to understand what really happens when a foot detox is being performed.
Who invented the Negative Ion Detox Foot Spa machine?
It all started with a man by the name of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. Although he had never seen one of these modern Electro-Therapy devices, he was the first to use frequencies in the fight against viruses, cancer and other ailments.
You can do an online search for "Rife frequencies" and find hundreds of frequencies that can be used for everything from cancer to eczema.
When you use an ion foot detox bath, there is an array that goes in the water. Both feet are placed alongside the array and the ionic detox unit is turned on. The array creates negative ions from the frequency vibration. This electrolytic action causes the water to change colors.
Why does the water change color?
We must consider all the factors as to why the water changes colors. At the beginning of an Ion foot bath session we add salt to water for optimum conductivity. Also, we use tap water and tap water has minerals and other impurities. During the electrolysis some particles are combined and some may be separated. Our water that comes from the tap can contain variable quantities of suspended solids such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, chlorine antimony, arsenic, asbestos, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, fluorine, iron, mercury, nickel, thallium, nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, detergents and organic material, amongst many others.
The array also leaves some debris in the water as the electrolysis takes place. The reason is the "arrays" are metallic and will release waste and will result in an electrolytic reaction which will in turn cause it to corrode.
We can use ph paper to check the alkalinity of the water. The PH will increase during the session and this is causing some of the changes in the water color. The alkalinity change will cause oxygen, hydrogen, chorine and some sulfur to be release. This is one of the reasons for the color changes and the release of small quantities of different gases.
Our feet can also affect the changes in color. To demonstrate this, use your foot detox without your feet in the water, and notice that the tub is very easy to clean. Now, do a foot detox with your feet in the water and you not only see a difference in the colors of the water, but the tub will also much harder to clean because there is so much more oil and the release of substances from the sebaceous glands and dead cells in the water. Your own acidity and alkalinity will also have an effect on the water changing colors.
Who should use the Ion foot bath?
There are many reasons why a person chooses to purchase an Ionic cleanse. Some of the reasons are, liver detoxification, to purge heavy metals, increasing energy, reducing stress, improving sexual health, pain relief, improving memory and sleep, parasite cleanse, smoothing wrinkles, acne, skin problems, to enhance the immune system, arthritis aches, rheumatoid, blood circulation, increasing body pH levels, drainage of the lymph system, swollen glands, menopause symptoms, menstrual cramps or irregularity, and weight control by improved metabolism
People who have battery operated implants (e.g.. pace makers), anyone who has received an organ transplant, Pregnant women, nursing mothers & children under the age of 8 years of age, If you have metal implants, if you have cuts or open wounds on your feet, or anyone with epilepsy should never use the ion foot bath. Those between 8 & 15 years old should use 15 minute sessions. People who have low blood sugar should eat before & after use and anyone that is hypertensive should always eat before using, This machine will decrease the blood sugar, Those taking chemotherapeutics or Heart regulating drugs, Those with a history of seizures or psychotic episodes, Those with metal parts in their body, Warning: Do not use any foot bath products if you are pregnant or Have a Pacemaker or any other Heart Condition.
How do I benefit?
Every element has a different FREQUENCY OR VIBRATION. Every plant has a different wave length and thus a different vibration. We are made from the same thing that plants are made from: out of the dust of the ground. So, every organ of the body has a different vibration. Think of the body as a symphony orchestra. It plays together harmoniously although all the instruments have a different pitch or FREQUENCY. But they can all play together harmoniously. What happens when the body’s instrument is out of tune? We need to tune it up. How do we do this? We feed the body through plants, herbs, or the use of the Royal Rife type frequency generator. The Ionic technique of cleansing thru the feet is believed to provide a full body purge of all vital organs.
The RIFE RESEARCH shows frequencies designed to strengthen organs, glands, and other bodily systems. We learned in Physics that resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies, known as the system's resonance frequencies. A low voltage DC current flows through the array to make both negative and positive ions. Most ionic foot baths today do both negative and positive ions. Stay away from the homemade units that do not have this dual polarity. In most all cases we need to have both negative and positive ions during a session. If we were to have all negative or all positive ions, this could throw our systems off balance. All negative or all positive should only be performed by someone who knows what they are doing.
If you want to alkalize your system then increase the negative ions. If you want to detox heavy metals then increase the positive ions. You should read your manual carefully so you can determine when you are generating Negative or Positive ions. On most units you will notice that when your unit says "Positive" on the readout, then you are really generating "Negative Ions" and if the units say "Negative" on the readout, then you are really generating "Positive Ions". So in effect an overall balancing of the body occurs, along with a significant increase in the number of negative ions. The ionic technique of cleansing thru the feet provides a full body purge of all vital organs.
This should help clear up the hoax claim, because what we are benefiting from is the negative and positive ions and all that debris in the water is not really coming out of our body. It is similar to walking in the sand along the beach only more powerful because your feet are in direct contact the ions being made in the water. Doing a foot detox session is like taking a walk on the beach at home. Why not experience it for yourself?
