Re: ionic footspa and other things.

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

be aware that the footspa takes out the bad stuuf, but also the good stuff.

So you must compensate very well, with a good multivitamind and Calcium among

others.

We have found, that by using distilled or demineralized water is a bit more

agressive and pulls out even more.

ionic footspa and other things.

Just some thoughts on the ionic footspa and other things.

A couple of months ago I basically decided to try 3 different things to try

and combat my electrosensitivity that I hadn't tried before: medication, the

bioprotect card, and an ionic footspa. And thankfully I've had some positive

results.

When visiting my doctor for a problem unrelated to my electrosensitivity, I

had been around that time thinking about the immune system as a source of the

esens problem, so I thought i'd ask him to set up an appointment with an

immunologist. Now I knew that meeting an immunologist could potentially be a

total waste of time, but I said I'd try it anyway. However my doctor said that I

should go and see a neurologist, that my problem may be more related to a

nervous system problem. Despite my protestations and desire to firstly see an

immunologist, I eventually went along with what he wanted, so I ended up seeing

the neurologist.

Surprisingly, the neurologist actually took me and my esens problem seriously,

despite never having heard of it, and when I told him that severe agitation was

one of my symptoms, he speculated that it may be some kind of nervous system

agitation that is going on for one of my symptoms. I wasn't so sure, and

discussed my other symptoms. Anyway, he offered to put me on some medication

that helps nervous system problems such as agitation (It's a drug called Lyrica,

that is a form of pregabalin (see

here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregabalin), and is used to treat things such

as nervouls pain in diabetics and Fibromyalgia), but was honest in his

assessment that he didn't know the cause and that it was a longshot. Despite my

being wary about taking medication for this kind of thing, I decided to take a

punt and try it.

Around the same time I decided to buy a Bioprotect card, and a couple weeks

later I purchased an ionic footspa off ebay (i.e. I decided to go down the

route of things, given all his hooha about these in recent times!). Now,

the footspa was one of those cheap (relative to the expensive Ioncleans ones)

ones from China, but I didn't have the dosh for the more expensive models, so I

just said I'd give the cheaper model a go.

Now I know I should have tried these things individually to test their affect

separately, but I didn't want to wait around, and so tried all three at roughly

the same time. And I have had some positive results. While I am not cured or

healed, my resistance to emfs is stronger, and i can stay in wifi areas a lot

longer than before. Some of my symptoms, such as burning/stinging gums, white

spots/ulcers on gums, agitated eyes, and sore throat still persist, but are

nowhere near as persistent or strong, and the time I can spend around emfs

before symptoms arise is a lot longer. And the agitation has definitely eased. I

tested it out a couple of times in strong wifi areas (wifi is my main enemy!)

and I could stay in these areas for far longer than before before some symptoms

arise.

So to summarize, I definitely haven't `healed' or got rid of the

electrosensitivity, but I have definitely got better or more resistant. What

level of influence the footspa or medication have had individually I do not

know. (I have had about 15- 20 sessions so far with the footspa, with an advised

3 week break after 12 sessions). I am going to stop taking the medication for a

while to see what affect that has, and I have to go back to the neurologist to

discuss things.

That's just my input into the ionic footspa debate, among other things. I

generally agree with Marc's and other's viewpoint that everyone's different, and

what works for one may not work for another. And I obviously don't recommend

rushing out trying any medication without proper medical advice.
