How It Works

Over millions of years the human body has evolved into a highly complex and finely balanced machine. It is capable of a remarkable range of tasks and has developed durability against nature’s forces. Unfortunately our technology and society has evolved much faster in the last hundred years than our bodies. We are now exposed daily to higher levels of contaminants, toxins, stresses and manmade substances than ever before, and our bodies simply can’t evolve fast enough to cope.

For the human body to function efficiently the bio- system within it must be balanced. The body must be able to process toxins and waste products at a rate equal to, or faster than they enter the system. In our modern lives this is not the case and as a result the balance of our bodies has shifted. We are fighting a constant biological battle, not always successfully. The detox ion generator foot bath provides a way by which science and technology can be used to help the body win this biological battle and restore itself to a balanced state. This technology assists the body in processing and ultimately eliminating toxins and waste products to restore a healthy balanced system. It is even possible for this technology to assist the body in getting rid of manmade substances for which there is no natural processing capability. The human body controls the proliferation of toxins and other undesirable substances with the use of Epithelial Barrier Cells such as those which line the cardiovascular system. These barrier cells are polarised so as to allow nutrients to pass through while repelling toxins. This process ensures that toxins and other undesirable substances remain within the bloodstream until they can be eliminated by the immune system, or processed by the appropriate organs such as the liver and kidneys.

Disruption to the balance of the system occurs when the workload of the processing organs is too high or the organs in question simply can’t process the substances present. In the case of overworked organs, requests are made by the organs using the central, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems for more resources. The body then channels energy and resources away from other activities to satisfy the request. The outcome of this process is a general rundown feeling and a reduced capacity to combat bacterial and viral infections which may be as simple as a common cold.

In the case of an inability of a given organ to process a substance the result is that the substance in question is placed into storage, but given that the organ lacks the capability to ever process it, in storage it remains. The principle of how the detox system works starts with the well established process of Electrolysis. If you place two electrical rods in a conductive solution and use a current source to make electricity flow between them then particles are created to carry the electricity. These carrier particles are called Ions.

It is important to understand that these Ions are polarized. Negative Ions move towards the positive rod (Anode) and positive Ions move towards the negative rod (Cathode). The detox foot bath uses these Ions as will be explained later, but first they need to be created in an environment which is safe.

The problem is that storage space is finite, and has evolved to allow the body to deal with short term influxes of toxins such as when fighting of illness. With the bodies natural overflow capability already filled with toxins which can’t be processed, an influx of toxins would remain in the bloodstream and could cause blood poisoning (septicaemia). In addition the now overworked organs cause the previously described situation

This has lead to the continued development and use of more powerful antibiotics to assist the body. If however the body could be re-balanced it is perfectly capable of dealing with the problems naturally. Industrial Electrolysis is used in many important applications but in many cases the chemical cocktails used to produce the Ions would be too dangerous. In addition there are complications to producing sufficient Ions from water alone.

A molecule of water consists of two Hydrogen atoms attached to one Oxygen atom (H2O). Molecules of water are attracted to each other due to the polarity of the atoms. This attraction is strong and normally only broken by heating the water to a temperature where it becomes steam. Common table salt consists of one Sodium atom attached to one Chlorine atom (NaCl), these atoms are attracted to each other due to their opposing polarity. However if the salt is added to the water the attraction between the atoms of the salt and the molecules of water is stronger than the attraction between the atoms of the salt alone and they separate. In addition the attraction between the water molecules is weakened by their attraction to the salt atoms. The result is a destabilized saline solution which if carefully controlled can be readily and safely Ionized. A detox foot bath therapy session therefore starts with the controlled mixing of a warm saline solution in the footbath (the reason for exposing the feet is explained later).

Submerged in the water of the footbath is an innovatively designed custom Ion Generator (array). This device in conjunction with the control electronics starts a regulated electrolysis process within the Ion Generator. The reaction which takes place generates bi-products such as Chlorine, Hydrogen and Oxygen. The net balance of the reactions taking place have a remainder, these are free Ions which escape from the Ion Generator into the footbath.

The human body uses pores in the skin to dispose of some unwanted substances from the system. These pores are most intensive on the hands, feet and under the arms, which is why these are the first areas of the body to perspire. The detox foot bath uses the feet as a convenient access point to the maximum number pores, also due to the fact that there are a significant number of blood vessels close to the surface of the feet.

The user’s feet are submerged in the warm footbath and salt is added with the guidance of the control electronics. Regulated ionization of the resulting saline solution then begins within the array and free Ions are released into the footbath which circulate around the users feet.

The free Ions attach to the pores of the feet and temporarily depolarize the barrier cells of the blood vessels, this allows toxins to pass through the barrier.

However once through the barrier the polarized toxins are attracted to the polarized Ion and the two combine to form a compound molecule. This new molecule is now heavy and falls away from the pore into the footbath, a new free Ion now attaches to the pore of the foot and the process continues.

A detox foot bath therapy session is timed for 30 minutes this is due to the fact the blood in an average human body will circulate completely in approximately 20-25 minutes. Therefore in one session all the blood in the body will have passed through the feet.

Following the drop of toxins in the bloodstream the organs speed up the processing of remaining toxins, taking toxins out of storage for processing and turning their attention to other ailments, which may have been neglected due to workload on existing toxins.

Users may find therefore a short term drop in energy levels due to the increased processing, but this will normally only last for a few hours. As the systems rebalance however the organs relax and users experience a significant increase in energy levels and a general feeling of well-being.

This increased energy will gradually reduce as stored toxins are brought out for processing, however with regular detox foot bath therapy session energy levels will remain higher for longer as the overall toxin levels are reduced.

The electrolysis reaction which takes place in the Ion Generator produces a number of by-products including those from the gradual breakdown of the generator itself. Many of these by-products are colored and as the therapy session progresses the footbath water will change to a light (tea) brown regardless of the presence of feet, this is known as the base color. Many of the toxin compounds formed during the process are colorless, however some do have color which can be seen against the base color. During the session it is often possible to see yellow and green substances in suspension or floating on the surface of the water, some toxin compounds join with the by-products of the Ion Generator and darken the base color producing dark brown or black substances in suspension.

Manmade toxins are usually derivatives of naturally occurring substances as a result of an industrial process used to serve some other process, namely they are industrial by-products. Electrolysis can be used in many cases to convert these substances back to their natural form.

For example as discussed earlier water consists of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom (H2O). This is its natural form, however under manmade conditions Hydrogen can exist in two forms 1H (Hydrogen) and 2H (Deuterium).

Water can therefore exit as light water 1H2O normally just referred to as H2O which is Hydrogen Oxide or heavy water 2H2O which is Deuterium Oxide (D2O).

While these two substances look the same, taste the same and behave similar to biological organisms they are VERY different. Plants watered with heavy water will die, seeds will not germinate and animals that drink only heavy water will die of dehydration.

This is because biological organisms such as the human body simply can not process Deuterium Oxide. While the body thinks it has water to use it cannot do anything with it, nor can it be processed for disposal as waste, it can only be stored as previously detailed.

One effect on humans of the presence of Deuterium Oxide is that the body detects water and does not trigger the urge to take in more. However because the body can not use the water, a form of mild dehydration occurs and it is suggested that this is linked to the premature signs of aging.

Due to modern water treatment methods, Deuterium Oxide exists at a concentration concretively estimated at 1:6000 in our tap water. This means that for every 6000 glasses of tap water a person drinks, 1 glass full is pure Deuterium Oxide.

There is a method for converting heavy water to light (natural) water and this involves the use of electrolysis and the Ions it produces.

A detox foot bath therapy session therefore has the same components and processes necessary to convert heavy water to light water which the body can then use. It is feasible therefore that this conversion could halt or even reverse the signs of premature aging.

Each detox foot bath therapy session will assist the body in removing toxins from the system, but for new users the body will replace these with toxins from storage. It is recommended for new users therefore that eight to ten sessions are done with not less than 48 hours between each session to assist the body in clearing the system and storage.

For existing users the build up of new toxins would denote the use of one or two sessions per month to keep the systems clear and prevent the body from the need to store excess or manmade toxins to the detox foot bath therapy being electrical in nature it is not recommended for persons who have Pacemakers or any form of heart condition. The detox foot bath therapy is not recommended for use by pregnant women as the natural and healthy processes of pregnancy maintains substances in the bloodstream which could be electrically interpreted as toxins, but which are necessary for the body during this time.

The detox foot bath therapy is not recommended for persons under the age of 10 years as they are unlikely to need the therapy and their systems are more dynamic than that of adults.

As The detox foot bath therapy is assisting the body in the removal of substances from the system it is advised to drink plenty of good quality bottled water during a session. This will provide the body with material to replace the missing volume of substances.

Alkaline ionic water is by far the most superior drinking water available. It is electronically enhanced water that has been run over positive and negative electrodes and become ionized, which then is separated into alkaline and acidic water. They are created simultaneously, 70% Alkaline Ionic Water and 30% Acid Water. Both waters have extraordinary properties and benefits, however, their respective uses could not be more different. We drink The Alkaline ionic water , the Acid water we use on the outside of our bodies for beauty and antiseptic applications.

Alkaline ionic water is one of the most significant preventative health advances of our generation. It is a Powerful Antioxidant, which also provides our body with an abundance of oxygen which in turn gives us energy. It Balances our Body pH, which helps prevent disease because it is Alkaline. It is a Powerful Detoxifier, and a Superior Hydrator, up to 6 times more hydrating than conventional water.

ITS POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES
Alkaline ionic water has 2 Antioxidant qualities or components to it. Ionize means to gain or lose an electron. In the case of Alkaline ionic water, an electron is grabbed from one oxygen molecule and donated to another making that oxygen molecule become an Antioxidant. All Antioxidants have this property of possessing an extra electron such as vitamins A, C and E. It is miraculous that normal tap water can be turned into an Antioxidant. Not only that, but it is an efficient Antioxidant because it is a liquid with small water molecule clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body.

Virtually all liquids have an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), which is the millivoltage it possesses. Normal tap water has an 300 to 400 ORP, meaning that the potential for reducing oxidation is nonexistent. Only a negative ORP can reduce or negate oxidation. Alkaline ionic water has a -350 to -250 ORP, depending in part on the amount of minerals in the source water and which level the unit is on. This means it has a very high potential for reducing oxidation. Freshly squeezed orange juice has a -250 ORP, as do most other fresh squeezed juices and vegetables. However, if they have been pasteurized or otherwise processed, the antioxidant and negative ORP properties have been removed from the food as well as all its rejuvenating properties.

Oxidization means to decay or age. As things oxidize, the ORP rises. A higher ORP also retards bacterial growth and if high enough, it will kill bacteria. Rust is metal that has oxidized. In the human body oxidation is caused by free radical damage. Free radicals are oxygen molecules that have lost an electron and become unstable. They are caused by pollution, stress and poor diet. Essentially all diseases arise from the environment or diet unless it is congenital, meaning genetically inherited or a condition which exists at birth. Environmental diseases can come from man-made pollution, insect carrying diseases, radon gas, etc.

Free radicals that exists in our body grab an electron from one of our cells to become stable and in the process damage the DNA of the cell so that when it divides, the new cell carries the mutant DNA which in turn passes along to the next cell when it divides. This is the cause of many diseases and it is also part of what makes us age. As we age, our body's ORP becomes higher because we are oxidizing. Alkaline ionic water has a Negative ORP therefore it offsets the higher ORP of our body as we are aging. Thus, we counteract the aging process by putting a negatively charged water which somewhat dampens the ever-rising ORP of our oxidizing body. We should drink l to 2 gallons of strong alkaline ionic water (level 5) per day to expect significant slowing and reversal of the aging process.

Look at a glass of freshly prepared Alkaline ionic water, you will see a cloud of little tiny bubbles in the water. Those are hydroxyl ions, which are oxygen molecules that have an extra electron. That is the Antioxidant, which is the centerpiece of Alkaline Ionic Water, its most valuable component. Antioxidants have anti-aging and anti-disease properties because they scavenge for free radicals. Alkaline ionic water is a liquid antioxidant, therefore it is extremely effective and more easily absorbed into the body than other antioxidant.

POWERFUL DETOXIFIER AND SUPERIOR HYDRATOR
Alkaline ionic water is sometimes called reduced water because typically water molecules group together in clusters of 10 to 13 molecules. Alkaline ionic water molecule clusters are split in half and grouped into 5 to 6 water molecules, thus it is Reduced in size. The Alkaline ionic water molecule cluster has been changed from an irregular shape to a regular hexagonal shape that passes through our body tissue much more efficiently than conventional water. It is this smaller, regular shape that hydrates anything much more efficiently than conventional water.

For initial detoxifying, start from a lower level (i.e. level 3) and gradually increases to level 4 to 5. Headaches and diarrhea are common detoxification symptoms.
Alkaline ionic water is up to 6 times more hydrating than conventional water at its greatest strength. There are some tangible effects of alkaline ionic water regarding the small molecule cluster. Soaking dried beans of any kind in this type of water will cause them to hydrate considerably faster and swell fatter because of its superior hydration properties. Mixing it with any kind of powder or flour will result in much better absorption than conventional water. For instance, making gravy or cream soup with alkaline ionic water will be much smoother. Cooking with alkaline ionic water will enhance the taste of your food. The nutrients in the food will be assimilated into the body more efficiently.

The most light we see every day is actually a combination of many different kinds of lights. All of these lights are electro-magnetic waves. The wavelengths of the lights determine their properties. Lights could be visible or invisible. Visible lights could also present different colors. The sun lights spectrum ranges from ultraviolet ray and violet ray on the short wavelength side to the red ray and the infrared ray on the long wavelength side.

Different types of light interact with our body differently. In general, the shorter the wavelength of the light ,the harmful it is to the living cells. For example, the ultraviolet ray is very harmful to the living cells. The most beneficial lights are those waves of which the lengths are near the red light. Far infrared therapy ,or FIR therapy or infrared therapy uses far infrared light which is part of the sun light spectrum ,the wavelength of it is just little longer than the visible red light.

Although the wavelengths of FIR are too long for the eyes to perceive. we can experience its energy as gentle, radiant heat ,which can penetrate up to 3.5 inches beneath the skin. So far infrared therapy, or FIR therapy is also a kind of light therapy and heat therapy,it works to enhance health by following principles:

1. Improve micro circulation by exerting strong rotational and vibration effects in the molecular level, which are biologically beneficial.

2. Increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the blood cell to the body’s soft tissue areas.

3. Enhance white blood cell function,thereby increasing immune response and the elimination of foreign pathogens and cellular waste products.

4. Remove accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation which are often at the core of many health problems. The build-up of toxins in a health body could block the normal blood circulation and impair the cellular energy. When FIR waves are applied,the water molecules that encapsulates the toxins get heat up, and start to vibrate. This vibration reduces the ion bonds of the atoms that are holding the molecules of the water together. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsualated gases and other toxic materials are released and the body gets rejuvenated.

5. Promote regeneration and fast healing.

6. Increase metabolism between blood and tissue.

7. Stimulate the hypothalamus ,which controls the production of neurochemicals involved in such biological processes as sleep, mood, pain sensations ,and blood pressure.

Through above mechanism ,far infrared therapy with FIR therapeutic clothing products could put the body under far infrared treatment any time of the day,and can do the far infrared therapy as long as you want. With little FIR energy ,there is no risk of burning of the body cell. Far infrared therapy has been shown to have good effects in treating the following symptoms:

1. Arthritis

2. Muscle pain and spasm

3. Shoulder or joint stiffness

4. Raynaud’s syndrome

Far infrared therapy has also been shown to aid the process of weight loss ,promote the growth of new hair,improve immune system and the overall health.

Far infrared therapy follows the holistic healing principle .It does not only treat a symptom ,it also enhances the whole body function, the treatment of the symptoms simply comes along naturally.

How Does It Work ?

Chinese reflexology states that our body connects to the meridians. Contact with meridians give a flow of energy "(Chi)", through the acupuncture points out the outside body. Stimulating acupuncture points will activate "Chi" in the body that corresponds to the internal points, so it then strengthens the body. Your body will send the toxins far away from you heart. That means the toxins are stored in the lower part of the body or the feet. The herbs and other natural ingredients in the detox patch will warm your feet and open the acupuncture points in the sole. This will allow the Detox Patch to gently draw toxins out of the body.

Most body nerves are extended to the bottom of our feet. For that reason, it is recommended that the patch be used at the bottom of the feet. As the foot sweats, the toxins are expelled and absorbed by the Detox Patch. Its not just applied on the sole of the feet, but it can also be applied on the back, neck, shoulder, muscles, joints, etc. Do Not Apply Directly To Mucous Or Open Wound Areas.

How to use our Detox Foot Pad ?

Use the detox foot pad before you go to bed. It is recommended to wear a pair of socks to hold the pads in place. The best place is to apply on the sole of the foot, but it also can be applied on the back, muscle, joints, etc. For best results, keep the pads on for at least 8 hrs. Clean the area leaving no lotions or creams that can block the pores. Immerse your feet in warm water to improve circulation and help open the pores. Drink plenty of water and make sure the pads make full contact with your skin. You will see how the pads will change color. The color should become a clearer tone as you use them regularly for one month or two.

Take out the packet from the plastic wrap. Place the packet , with the word "Please put adhesive sheet on this side", on to the adhesive. Stick and spread firmly on the sole of the feet (or other parts of the body as indicated) . Remove the packet after 8-10 hours of use. Do not reuse a packet that has been used or opened from the plastic wrap
