Below Are Some Testimonials from Users Of Ionic Foot Baths
Ann,
I enjoyed talking to you on Saturday.
I don't have time to write all of the amazing things that I have seen the
Bio-Tox machine do since I received it in April ('08). This last 6 weeks I
have detoxed several family members, some several times, and numerous
friends from work and church.
(If you go on a ladies retreat and bring a detox machine...well take my
word for it you get to know people a lot better than just a polite "hug and
how are you" on Sunday morning. When you detox "foot bath" them and they
have on the spot pain relief, it's a great ice-breaker.)
My Dad is 84 yrs old and no longer feels his arthritis after 4 detox
sessions, my son had a serious wreck in Jan (fx. pelvis, back, rib) and has
thanked me 3 times for getting the machine because it has offered him some
relief. (My sinuses and knees have improved, but that pales in comparison
to the other things I've seen.)
My friend Susan cut her finger to the bone ending up with systemic 'serum
poisoning' from the antibiotic and 10 days later was in such pain and
swelling everywhere she could hardly walk. Under protest but desperate, she
came over after work to detox. I had to help her get from her car into the
house. She detoxed and 30 minutes later she said she had no more pain
except at the incision. She also had relief from her chronic fibromyalgia.
When she called me from her Dr's office at 7:30am the next day, she said
her chronic pain in her hips was absent that night and her incision did not
hurt at all.(She was pain free for 3 days.She needs to detox again.)
My boss and co-worker, both diabetics, have detoxed 3 times each with blood
sugar drops of 30-100 points each time in the following 30 minutes to an
hour. (Bill's blood sugar went from 480 to 380 in an hour!) They both told
me it dropped further those afternoons after leaving work. The one
non-diabetic friend I detoxed, (and could check her blood sugar), also
dropped 30 points in that 30 minute foot bath period. Do I believe this is
a silver bullet for diabetics, absolutely!
I heard a remarkable account from a lady with MS and her health
improvements due to the first 2 detox sessions (she owned a similar
machine). I believe what she told me, but I'm hoping to get my friend from
church to let me detox her to see if it will help her MS. I'll let you
know what happens if she agrees to try it.
Sorry this has gotten so lengthy but I only put in the most outstanding
results I have seen. (The symptom relief I am seeing is so diverse I still
have a hard time understanding this.)
Thanks again.
Regards,
Kathryn......... May 22, 2008

The Series #3 Ionic Detox Foot Spa by Bio-Tox

I don't own the Series #3 Ionic Detox Foot Spa, but I've been going to a friend of mine, a reflexoligist, who owns one and taking 30 minute foot baths. I started out doing it once a week, but changed it to twice a week because the benefit of the foot bath would wear off before the week ended and I wanted to feel good longer. The recommended treatment cycle is every other day for people under 50 and every third day for people over 50. It is recommended that you only do 14 treatments at a time, with a 2 week rest period before starting the next 14 treatments.
Basically, what happens it that I sit my feet in a tub of water, a bracelet thingy is placed on my wrist to ground me, an array is placed in the water with me and salt is sprinkled in the water. (When my friend sprinkles the water with salt I always have the image of a cannibal getting her supper ready.) An array is a gadget that sends positive and negative alternately to the water; which draws out toxins in the body. When the toxins are released; it changes the color of the water. Each color represents a different area.
When the water turns: black it is pulling toxins from the liver ; brown it is pulling toxins from liver and getting rid of cellular debris; dark green is pulling toxins from the gall bladder; orange is pulling toxins from the joints; yellow-green is pulling toxins from kidney, bladder and prostate. Not only does the water change color, but it can contain flecks, foam or curd looking things that float in the water. If there is red flecks that represents blood clots; black flecks represent heavy metals; white foam shows that toxins are being released from the lymphatic system; and the white curds show a presence of yeast.
In the beginning my water always changed to orange and had flecks of red and black. By the 5th or 6th foot bath I really began to feel the effects. My joints felt freer like someone had oiled my joints so they would move smoother. I've had ten foot baths as of today and I feel good, no make that GREAT!!!! I can walk up and down stairs without holding on the rails; which seems like a miracle in itself for me. My latest trick is to get up from a sitting position without pulling on something or bracing myself. I can get up and down from a chair without any problems.
There is so much joy in my life now. I only have one complaint: my energy level is far stronger than my muscles' ability to keep up. I have years of not being able to move freely which caused my muscles to weaken and it will take a little while to build up my muscles so I can keep up with my energy level. It feels wonderful be able to go get the paper out of the printer at the time I printed it instead of waiting until I had several reasons to get up or until someone brought it to me. I'm getting up out of my chair and walking around just for the pure joy of it. Do you need something? I'll go get it for you.
Last week, I visited my rheumatologist, it was an appointment I made three months earlier. I no longer needed the appointment, but decided to go just to see what he would say. It was a funny experience. When the doctor walked it he asked me the usual question "How are you?" I answered, "Great!!!" He had to ask me three times because my answer just didn't compute for him.
Then he asked about refills and I let him know that I'm no longer need prescriptions filled because I stopped taking my muscle relaxants and the sleeping pills and I'm not taking the arthritis strength Tylenols either. He was more than a little surprised. He tested my joints and found that I do not need him any longer. I did tell him about the foot baths and am going to send him a brochure about it. He thought it was great that I found something that worked for me even though it was an alternative method.

Hi, I have used my Spa Life Device five times so far and do think I feel better, actually I do feel much better. I had the burning sensation in my leg on Sunday and used the foot bath and it went away, having said that my leg is still a bit sore, but I do feel better to answer your post. My kids used it also they do not have any fillings but the water only went light brown with them, with my self the water was dark brown/black !!!!! ...Yukk! I am going to keep using it as I think it can only do some good.

Hello, Just wanted to share some information for the skeptics that are unsure of the effectiveness of the ionic foot baths.
(1) I have done several footbaths without anybody in it. My primary reason was to check any smells coming off the water. I have NEVER had any odor other then what you might be able to pick up with tap water. When a person is in the bath, most of the time, we will smell either chlorine or a sweet smell of yeast. Both my wife and I had a reduction of smell as we did quite a few footbaths earlier on. Most new people will have a much stronger smell the first several times they go in.
As far as the water color is concerned, the water will turn the same color as when people are in it. Change of seasons and many other factors will affect the water color. But very rarely did I feel that people affect the color change.
(2) You can use the hands for a footbath, as both the hands and feet are major detox points of the body, but the bottoms of the feet have around 2000 pores each and are 8 times as large as any other pores in the body. As far as calluses and hardened soles, when you put your feet in warm water, the pores will open up. I read a report of a lab tech person who is involved in production of the Q2 footbath in Austrailia was bitten on the arm by a pretty bad spider. He immediatly put his arm into a footbath, and after the bath was over, the swelling had gone way down. I say that to illustrate that with an injury, it wouldn't hurt to directly put that part of your body right in the water.
But what else is happening is that every cell in your body is receiving a charge on the outer part of the cell. This enables the cell to work more efficiently. The sodium/potassium pump improves its funtion which is where the increase in energy comes from. The metabolism waste of each cell is discarded out of the cell and into the lymph much easier which is the detox part. The blood cells under live blood cell microscope improve markedly. I have heard several professionals speak very positively of the improvements. The most striking benefits occur over a 6 month time with regular treatments. That's why, if you are receiving benefit over several baths, you might look into purchasing one for yourself. Much cheaper in the long run.
(3) There is no real need to alternate between foot and hand baths. If I had an injury to my hand or arm, I would put that part into the bath, but after it's healed, I would just stay with the feet in the bath.
(4) This is from a chart from my company for usage times based on age.
4 to 7 years old 10 to 15 minutes
8 to 12 years old 15 to 20 minutes
13 to 17 years old 20 to 35 minutes
18 and older 20 to 35 minutes
Over the course of at least 200 baths for myself, only a few times did I feel restless while in the water. I just felt like I wanted to get out, which was my body telling me that I had had enough at that point. My point is listen to your body and it will tell you. After I had done many baths, I just felt like I didn't want a bath for a while. Again, my body was telling me to take a rest. After a while, I just wanted to take a bath again which my body was communicating to me as well.
As far as your 5 year old with swollen lymph glands, I think in my experience, that it would be well worth doing a few footbaths. Just don't overdo it with too long a time and I would wait at least a couple of days between baths. When you have a condition that you are hoping to change with the footbath, you need to hit the footbath a little more aggresive than if you were just on a maintence schedule.

Hi Everyone,
I too have been doing the foot baths. I have a fatty liver, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, endometriosis, PCOS and an adreanal, thyroid and hormonal imbalance.
Being pretty sick - my naturopath is hitting my tmt hard. I have a dark brown brine with green clear water edging, a ton of black grit sediment and brown and black froth with globs of orange and streeks of green froth.
It is incredible how well I feel after. I really believe in it and am very happy to be able to clean out my body this way. I do body visualizations while my feet are in the bath. I find the days that I am not interupted - I cleanse more.
Wish everyone the best health - I am doing a multiposter to allow myself to figure out what is wrong and help me work hand in hand with my naturopath.
I thing this active approach makes all the difference - personal involvement is so important.
All the best in new health,

Hi, Right up front let me tell you that I own a "high quality" ionic footbath and have done a total of around 800 footbaths. 400 or so between my wife and I and the rest on others. Full disclosure: I have sold a number of units as a distributor just to let you know. No advertising, I promise.
Maybe I can shed a little light on my and my manufacture's take on the water colors.
I do not for a minute think that the color of the water has much to say about who is in it. If a person affects the color, then it's way down the line of probabilities. I will say that almost all the time, when someone takes a footbath, there is usually a chlorine or a yeast or even a combination of the two smells. I know what your thinking. I have run the footbath many times without anyone in it, and without fail, I cannot smell either smell. A few times with other people, the smell has been so strong, I almost can't stomach it.
Many people after getting a footbath from us have reported significant energy improvement for the next few days. I had one gentleman that 3 months before I saw him had his foot crushed with 3000lbs of roof truses. He had a large open wound under his foot and a half dollar size open wound on the end of his heel. When they took off his bandage off the heel, blood started dripping out at around 1 drop or better per second. His foot was dying and every week the doc would have to scrape out dead tissue and infection from the wounds. Also, when I went to their house to give them a footbath, I observed that from about 8" below his knee all the way to the tip of his toes it was a very dark purple! I then gave him a footbath and he noticed nothing too unusual. After I cleaned up the bath and put it away, I turned around to face him. His girlfriend had bandaged him up and put him back in his hospital bed (in his living room). I took one look at his bad foot and gasped. All I could see that was not bandaged was his 5 toes and they were exactly the same healthy color as his good foot! Needless to say, they bought a footbath from me and he used it every day for maybe 1 1/2 months and then tried going every other day. Well, several days after the first bath, he went into the doc and the doc was totally amazed. There was no dead tissue or infection to scrape out! In fact, he no longer had to scrape anything out and after a week or two, new tissue started forming inside the wounds. After 2 or more months (not sure exactly) the wounds had totally closed and they were scheduling physical therapy for him! He is now done with therapy and except for a minor limip, he is totally healed! Oh, I forgot to mention that they only called me after the second time the doc insisted that he needed to have his foot amputated!
I do have a number of amazing stories plus stories of our manufacture. But I can say one thing. That is testing and studies are helpful of course, but nobody will tell that man who almost lost his foot that ionic footbaths are a scam.
One other comment. I did learn from those people that most of the detoxing taking place is not happening while in the footbath. Most of it is taking place in the next 2 or 3 days after through the normal elimination channels your body uses.

I just had to let you guys know that my husband has been using your machine to detox for about 2 month. He was taking 2 pills per day for type 2 diabetes. We decided to take a leap of faith and do the treatments for 2 weeks and then he stop taking his medication. Well, it worked, his blood sugar is staying just above 100 now and he hasn't changed one thing but doing the detox treatment every 3 days. He hasn't taken a diabetes pill in over 4 months now thanks to our Spa Life Detox Treatments.
I can't thank you enough Ann ........ Judy A..... Nashville TN............ 07/09/07
