Ion Detox
Does Ionic Foot Bath Detox work or is it a Hoax?
There are lots of new stories about this Ion Foot Bath Cleanse or Detox process and the jury is out on whether they work or not. Opinions aside I need answers with good links for more research before I stick my feet in electrically charged water regardless of voltage.
This question has been asked many times and it seems no-one has any scientific proof to show. Any study that I've ever seen is from the manufacturer and everyone knows how you can trust someone who has a profit to make. As a chemist I can explain the process of electrolysis and how the colors you see in the bath and simply the metal electrodes sloughing off some of the metal into the water and complexing with the salts (hard water, added salts or even salts you are bringing in with your feet), but I don't have a full INDEPENDENT study of the process. I haven't found one of the web either. I know it's a SCAM as a scientist, but I wish I had more "real" proof. You'll always get the Holistic wacko's that will wave their hands and quote some half ass marketing brochure.
