Ionic foot spa - anyone using?

[Guest guest]

just read a couple of very powerful testimonies from parents using these - I have copied bits below. is anyone using them in the UK? they seem to be terribly expensive to buy, but hoping there may be spas and beauty salons here offering 'sessions'.http://www.aquachi.info/index.htm"...This therapy was an important part of my sonÕs

recovery.... after doing only 10 of these treatments, my son lost his IEP. The

improvements we saw included focus and concentration, increased ability in

creating writing skills and working independently in school and an increase in social

confidence....I was really skeptical and only tried it when I heard about

some other tough nut kids were seeing improvements with it....

We did see a chiropracter who had an ionic foot spa in his office. My son

(12 yo, PDD) soaked for a half hour or so, and you could see the water

change color..it was quite dramatic!...natasa

Just browsing - you can buy one of these between £150 and £200 online -

just wondering if the local groups might want to club together and buy

one? Not sure if it would work, just thought it might be an idea?

Is it to do with the electrical current or the ionic salts? If so,

would using a standard foot bath with the right salts work?

ok - Just read a bit more and realise this is a dinny question - !

Assuming this is the thing with the copper element in the middle where

the water changes colour then we have one of these. I can't persuade

Tom to use it (although I feel inspired to try again) but for me it

gets rid of stiffness. NB as the manufacturers admit in the

literature, the water would change colour to a copper ish colour

anyway, apparently that's the salt/copper/electricity thang. It shows

different colours for different conditions and I do know of people

using the same model who've turned the water black - which is

apparently liver or with fragments, allegedly metals (I find that

harder to swallow, " bits and pieces " of metal, hmmm). with me the

water only goes copper colour although it does something truly

disgusting with body fat and sort of leaches it from your feet making

a fatty, brown warm scummy concoction which you'd certainly send back

if served in a restaurant. I read a lot of positive endorsements a

couple of years back and then nothing futther so I@m interested in any

positive links to read more. There may be a way of distracting Tom

with images of chocolate whilst we dunk his feet but it takes 30

minutes. Steph x

these must be different types of spas, or maybe not? the 'original'

ones in US cost just under $2000 !

Sandy or are probably able to better explain the difference, I

don't think it is the same thing as using the right salts - this is to

do with creating the right frequency/polarisation by splitting water

molecules... I guess salts would not do that

this is similar to the one we have, can't vouch for it, but it has the

same element as this one and turns the water a funny colour!

We've done several treatments with the pricey US model in a

chiropractor's office. Several weeks ago, a dad[2 spectrum kids]

posted on line re a home made unit that does the same thing. He and

a knowledgable friend tore apart a unit to find that it essentially

was a battery that linked red to red: black to black for the first

segment of the treatment and then reverse, linking red to black and

black to red for the second segment. The machines transitions this

change automatically. With the home made unit you change the battery

cables yourself after the allotted time so you need a timer[watch,

stove, microwave etc]. We now have a home made unit set up like the

pricey one [www.eb305.com] For the scientific savvy[not me] there is

a schematic on that site. The total cost was ~ $115. It included a

12 volt 2amp battery[$29.00] with a 'smart charger'[$25.00], a

rubbermaid tub[$3.00]- any heavy duty plastic, and the array[$50

plus shp], which the dad made and sent to me. I use Kosher salt -

not sure what 'low sodium means' ? 'lite salt' with about 1/2 K

added? The set up appears to get the same results. The homr msde

array has the life span of the $125 array that you can buy for the

pricey unit - about 60 soaks. My daughter just loves these foot

soaks-always a good indicator to me that something positive is

happening. I, too, like them. Although I use the identical set ups

for both of us, we often get different color results. There is info

about what the colors presumably mean-not sure that is too accirate

though. It seems quite safe to use.
