back to ion detox foot bath conspiracy part 1

The cynics who understand that electrolysis and oxidation of the metal array accounts for the color change in a foot detox draw the premature conclusion that the entire thing is snake oil and anyone who claims to have health benefits is only experiencing the placebo effect. This is a case where bad science and incomplete science are indistinguishable for the simple reason that many of the health benefits that are claimed go beyond what the placebo effect is capable of.

I’m not an expert on how a foot detox works, but I’ve done enough research to know that many people are experiencing health benefits that go far beyond what the placebo effect is capable of. Just this week I spoke with a woman who found a hookworm in her foot detox water after a treatment! I’ve spoken with smokers whose water smells strongly of smoke odor. I’m willing to admit that some of the many claims of pain relief can be attributed to the placebo effect, but parasites and strong smoke odors aren’t in your head, they’re real.

I recently spoke with woman who has been providing ionic foot baths to hundreds of people and she talked to me for 45 minutes about the many health benefits her clients have received, and the many doctors who have been mystified by the recoveries their patients have experienced after receiving foot detox treatments.

I’m convinced that most people doing a ionic foot bath are getting something more than just the placebo effect, but I still have an issue with the whole color-of-the-water=the-part-of-the-body-being-detoxed claim. If you’ve done a foot detox then you know that the water starts to turn brown almost immediately. This is due to oxidation of the metal array in the water. I’ve talked with dozens of people and most of them have the same color water as me - brown, the color of rust. Water analysis done by a laboratory has confirmed a significant increase in iron. But there’s more to the story. The water starts out brown, but for many people, the water will eventually turn other colors, such as white, green or black. If it’s not rust, then what is it?
