Re: Detoxi-pads:

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

How exactly are the detoxi-pads helping you? I think I might try them, but

then, I've done many other detox things that have been useless (and a few that

have been useful). What specific toxins are they good for?

I suppose you have tried castor oil. Do these foot pads are better then

castor oil application,you think?Also,I thought of placing castor oil packs

on my foot if feet are good place to detox. Does that sound funny? What do

you think?

Thanks

Thanks ,

I am using Castor oil packs and I am very happy with them. They do help.

Only problem is being patient and creating the time for that procedure. I

don't know why they did not help to you. It could be that either you were

not so toxic to feel the differance or there was some application problem.

It is important that you use really hot water pad and you cover yourself

well and stay with it for some time.I wait for at least 45 minutes, 1 hour

is better.I use them on my liver mainly. After about 20 minutes I start

feeling hot all over and my feet also start getting hot which means that it

has started working.

I tried it on my feet today. Did not like it so much. I think castor oil

packs improves lymphatic circulation. May be they can do that on liver area

only. Anyway one trial is not enough actually but I just wanted to share my

first impression.Hopefully I will try again.

Best regards.

Was that a one time symptom, the knee joint pain? If not, have you noted whether

its comings and goings correlate to weather changes? So as not to confound that

factor w. treatments you are trying.

Actually, my illness generally varies with the weather. (Which, in Spring

especially, is a real b---ch.)

Detoxi-pads:

I only tried them for 5 nights, but I'll tell you what won me over. I told

this story on another list and think I didn't mention it here. Over 2 weeks

ago I ate a ton of shrimp. I woke up feeling aweful, very lethargic and did

not

want to work out, and my knee hurt for no apparent reason except inflammation

(caused by toxins?). It was bad enough to where I needed to refill CSM for

first time since stopping it and took a hit of CSM followed by olive oil 30

min later and I could feel a good herx in a way associated with it. But it

still remained. After the 3rd day of feeling like this the Detoxi-pads

arrived.

I slept with them on that night and next morning I awoke and felt good for the

first time since the shrimp eating and knee was 80% pain free. Next night

the knee pain was totally gone and I felt really really great and had great

workouts, so I was won over and am waiting for my next shipment of pads to

come

in. I reckon they pull out any toxins. Friend told me they were discusing

Detoxi-pads at the last Klinghardt conference and he tested them and found

heavy

metals in them (after being used of course). There are other pads out there I

will be trying too, one from Korea, that look like the same thing as

Detoxi-pad but lower price. I'd try them both so you will know for yourself.

Thanks , that was interesting.

I would think the pads would not be best right over the liver, but along the

liver meridian used in TCM. The liver meridian, for example, runs down the

inner thighs -- right about in the center -- and then down the shin on the

inside right under the bone, and then down the TOP of the foot between the big

toe

and toe next to it. So perhaps putting one on the top of the foot would be

helpful for liver. The kidney line starts at the bottom of the foot, and the

kidneys are considered the central organ in TCM (and the central organ in CFIDS

by many acupuncturists and TCM doctors, though there is some dispute about

this -- some see it as more of a liver/spleen condition).
