Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Foot baths are another item which I was initially skeptical about, but which several people have reported working well. In Sue's case it worked too well - she had baths with Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) to try to get inorganic sulphate into her system (a deficiency specific to her). She got a bad reaction - too much was absorbed and it released too many built-up nasties from her system! So it seems that the skin is more permeable than I thought, and it should be possible to remove toxins through it. Ian _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Evie Also, I think it was who mentioned the foot bath--this is the water I am talking about, tho I am drinking it. If I get the water machine, I am going to try it in my regular foot bath. I know you can get the foot bath that makes its own water, but it is pricey (tho the drinking water machine is even more, it just has more uses). I think getting a drinking water machine and then using it in the foot bath would be the way I want to go (since I want to drink it anyway). But I mention this foot bath because I have heard great things about it. Not re ES, but re removing toxins. I have an ongoing lymphatic congestion problem that I am working on (from lifelong problems with gluten wastes, other food intolerance wastes, gut dysbiosis wastes and toxins, and hormonal dumping). That is the reason I am interested in the water (and also it has an influence on lowering serotonin concentrations, which I apparently have too much of in parts of my body, tho possibly not enough of in my brain). Of course, I am experimenting on myself and will have to proceed cautiously. My best to Sue.

This is probably specific to her. If the water is helping you, then I suggest you continue with it. Different people seem to differ hugely in their reactions to lots of these things. As a matter of interest, Sue has had 3 goes at methods which used " inputting electrical frequencies " in the broadest sense, and had completely different reactions to each. At the time she was suffering both from the ES tinnitus and severe depressive " black fogs " , usually MCS-induced. 1. Bioenergetics - a machine called Raytheon I think. On the first visit it made the tinnitus a bit worse but lifted the black fogs completely for 6 weeks - a completely unexpected result to us and the operator! On the second visit it didn't help the black fogs and worsened the tinnitus further. 2. Pendants worn round the neck. Sue felt better for about 2 hours but then progressively felt worse. Within a few hours they worsened her tinnitus a lot. She tried using them in short bursts at times after that, but the losses seemed greater than the gains. 3. Cyril 's water tubes imprinted with frequencies measured from a water sample Sue had supplied. The tinnitus was unaffected but it gave her a very bad black fog lasting for 48 hours! After that she was understandably reluctant to try them again. It was suggested that Sue may be particularly sensitive or weakened, and that in her case, anything which " adds in extra frequencies " , even " good " ones to try to counteract the " bad " ones, may be more than she can take. I emphasise that other people could react completely differently. People have said that they have been helped by each of the three methods above. Treatments for ES definitely do not seem to be " one size fits all " ! In the intervening months Sue has got to the points where the depressive black fogs are now rare and occasional. Just as well, because the worst of them made her feel suicidal - and she could tell that this was a chemical effect, not a psychological one. We believe the single biggest factor in her improvement has been intravenous glutathione drips, to restore some of her liver detox functions to a better level. But it does not seem to have helped the tinnitus (yet), and we still have a long way to go.

A couple of years ago, I tried a few of these ionic foot baths. While the water did discolor, I did not really notice any health benefits from it. Perhaps if I had done this repeatedly there may have been some longterm benefits, but I did not pursue this because I did not perceive any initial benefit, and would have to travel (and pay) for each use.

My experiences with bentonite on the skin have always been positive. I remember even using this as a teenager for acne. My experience with bentonite taken internally has been mixed, depending on the type of bentonite used. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi, Ian, I'm a little confused. Wasn't it good that the bad bugs/whatever were released from Sue's system? Or are you just saying that she got sicker because too much was released at one time? And this was all due to using Epsom Salts in a foot bath? Just wondered if I understood. I take almost daily whole body baths in Epsom salts. Maybe I am absorbing too much of the stuff! I didn't know that the magnesium absorbed into your body from a bath. I thought it just unclogged the pores so that toxins could be released.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Before I bought my sauna, which I still occasionally use, I was able to test them out. Both the traditional wet saunas and the dry infra- red saunas. I would very much like to test out the ionic foot baths. Can you suggest where I might go to try something like this out? I'm willing to travel a little ways. I am in a metropolitan area. > > A couple of years ago, I tried a few of these ionic foot baths.

I am in a metropolitan area. I see them advertised in alternative health directories and also on bulletin boards at health food store, and the occasional local health expo. I suppose some kind of internet search might bring up something too, but the problem is that there are differently named competitors.

Q- Where do the alternative therapists advertise in your area? Besides notice boards in health food stores, progressive or new-agey book stores, other therapists, etc., look out for any 'free' newspapers. Is there a college or artsy town nearby? They may have a higher density of practitioners and/or the sorts of stores that will accept a pile of 'holistic' ad rags in the corner. I've seen ads for 'aqua therapy' even here in Aberdeen where that generally means the pub, so there's hope no matter where you are. ;-) Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hello, since a week we do have an IonCleanse foot spa. We are flabbergasted with the results. It makes positive and/or negative ions and by osmosis, it takes a lot of toxic substances out of the body. We think it a very good way of detoxifying the body. The particles, fat, and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 20 to 30 minute session. The colors of the debris in the water may tell what is coming out. http://www.amajordifference.com/cleansehome.php We also have a Molecular Oscillating Resonance Instrument, as well as a Multiple Wave Oscillator (Lakhovsky) which work fine, but the released toxins form a problem to get them out of the body. Typically, when I went shopping today with my wife in a village nearby, she had no trouble in the supermarket, inside and near the freezers, and outside on the parking lot in front of the churchtower, full of GSM antennas. This was quite different only two weeks ago. Swollen fingers are getting thinner. Liver spots on hands get lighter in color. Sugar level of diabetes gets lower. And, we now have proper clean feet. ;o)) Of course, it is only after a very short period, but we are very optimistic. I keep you posted.

Hmmm, impressive! I must say that my symptoms also diminished with detox, although I never found any detox method that I could tolerate that would allow such rapid changes!

This is so remarkable! I am so curious to know more. , if you can, do you know any more about the following: 1] what is the strength and character of the electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of the device while it is operating? What EMF is the bather exposed to? 2] have you tried the bath using distilled water? I see that local water mineral content will vary the color of the final bath, even if no feet are present. Color change using distilled water (and no feet) will be due only to what the electrodes are adding to the water. 3] Do you add anything to the water under normal use? 4] do you know what the electrodes are made from? Which metal(s) are being introduced into the water (body)? How is this device any different from an electroplating bath? 5] is the effect the same if the hands (or other body parts) are soaked? 6] is it possible that a current is flowing through the body (in one foot and out the other) while soaking? What happens if only 1 foot is soaked? 7] has anyone analysed the water to compare the final bath without feet compared to with feet? What ions, proteins, fats, sugars, etc are present? It would be so useful to know what aspect of this " therapy " is responsible for the benefit. It could help us greatly to understand possible causes of ES, and alternative treatments too!

Yes, we tried distilled water, but in order to have the right amps, some salt must be added. 20-40 % of the found residues in the water come from the water; the rest coms out of the body. > 3] Do you add anything to the water under normal use?

It is not the current that is working.

This *history* has a lot to do with chemicals, pollution, poisons, heavy metals, etc which are stored inside our body, and which weaken our immunesystem. The book *Amalagam Illness* by Hall Cutler reads like a horror story. Most stuff we use today are stuffed with pollutants (read the books by Hulda ). Like most deodorants contain a lot of aluminium. Many years ago, doctors wanted to cut the eye out of my neighbour, becaus she had a heavy infection on her eye. When she started to stop using a certain eye make-up, the infection went away. Everything we eat and drink contains pollutants. Most remain layered in the body. I think, that this foot spa may help to get them out. But, that is my opinion. The effects are very promising. Although it is not cheap. But, being healthy costs a lot nowadays. We have found that a liver cleansing according to the method of Hulda (takes 24 hours) helps people also a lot, and when they have ejected the gallstones that way, they feel better, and also their electrosensibility level is somewhat lessened.

As I recall, the woman in my area who was testing one out visually compared the results of the water by running it with and without feet in it. There was some discoloration in the water without feet, but it was not nearly as much " muck " , " foam " , " gunk " , and " specks " as when it was run with feet. As I recall, I think she had to add some salt to the water before putting the device into it. > It would be so useful to know what aspect of this " therapy " is responsible > for the benefit.

The foot bath is supposed to detoxify the body, and there have been several people who have had their ES symptoms reduced via other methods of detoxification.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Sure, there are many roads that lead to Rome. Also, there are many people who do not have any ES symptoms at all. (Think of all those fools who do need their mobile phones so desperately) And, there are many people, who are sick.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Tommy Girl, I'd buy the best unit I could afford . . . with the tan tub. They'll accept an offer that's $25 less than their "Buy Now" price. You'll use it for 30-40 minutes . . They say you can use it every other day . . I woudn't recommend using it that often. . . but you can be the judge. I feel better about once a week. When you see how much stuff comes out, you'll want to do it everyday to get all the stuff out fast. . . The downside is that it pulls good minerals out as well as bad ones. . You'll need to increase your mineral intake, as well as your water and fiber intake when doing the foot baths. I think one's body needs time to flush the stuff out, and adjust, before loosening any more. You might feel momentarily light headed . .. but that will pass quickly. Overall you should feel better after the foot baths. . . And increasingly better as the months go by. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I know the foot bath helped me so much... I know it got rid of those burning joints, as long as you take magnesium, calcium and vitamin d with it.... I bought that in a liquid and it taste like pina coloda, without sugar.... It was not so bad... I think I am going to buy one for Christmas... I dare my bf to ask me what I want... LOL My girlfriend let me borrow hers and she moved to California... so there went my foot baths.. God Bless, ~ See AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter.
