“Ionic Detoxification” Foot Baths: Do They Really Work?
Question by It’s Ms. Fusion if you’re Nasty!: “Ionic detoxification” foot baths: do they really work?
I read up on the subject and came to the conclusion that it seems to be a big scam. I don’t think it really rids the body of toxins. My boyfriend disagrees, and he wants to buy one of these machines. I would love to hear from anyone who’s had experience with this, or knowledge of these and how they work…is it real, does it work, or is it a scam? I would especially appreciate answers from the medical and alternative health community: practioners and clients. Thanks!
Supposedly, the way this is supposed to work is that ions are released by the machine into the water. Then they are absorbed through the skin of the feet and circulated throughout the body. The ions’ polarity is then reversed, and the ions are supposedly pulled back out through the feet into the water…the result being the water changes from clear to different nasty colors like brown, orange and black, “depending on what part of the body the toxins have come from.”

Ha Ha what a hoot. Your assumption is correct these things are a total complete utter scam. Here is actually what happens. First you need two different metals say copper and zinc. Zinc is a good one very active metal. Next you put these metal electrodes in a vat of water, add a little electrolyte like salt. Next run a small current through the water and the first thing you will see is a bubbling of hydrogen being released. Also the metals will ionize and begin a metal plating process, the water will turn colors depending on the metals used, but the color change and cruddy looking water is the metal going into solution. This is basic simple chemistry, but the scammers want you to believe it is the toxins in you. You are the logical one your boyfriend needs an education.
