History Of The Aqua Detox Treatment

The Aqua Detox treatment dates back to the 1930s, when Royal Raymond Rife developed an "ionic foot bath," but it has more recently been technologically improved through the efforts of homeopath Mary Staggs. The theory behind the Aqua Detox treatment is that the poisons which accumulate in the body cause the cellular electrolytes to become unbalanced, so that the cells can neither neither receive nutrients nor eliminate waste products.

Combine this theory with the fact that very few people drink enough water each day to remain properly hydrated, and it's understandable why toxins can be held responsible for may of the degenerative diseases which affect millions of us today.

What To Expect

Undergoing the Aqua Detox program, according to a large number of those who have done it for themselves, is a highly pleasurable experience. You will begin your Aqua Detox treatment by having your feet soaked in lukewarm water for half and hour, after which an electricity conducting metal "array" will be used to create a bio-energetic field in the water to stimulate the release of toxins through the feet's thousands of pores.

Both children and adults can undergo the Aqua Detox treatment, which has been proven completely safe. The process simply allows both negative and positive ions (electrically charged particles) to enter the body through the feet where they create a series of vibrations, which stimulate the body's elimination system to release accumulated toxins.

Having an Aqua detox treatment may provide you with improved metabolic and cardiovascular function, while reducing your occurrences of inflammation, skin disorders, headaches, or menstrual cramping.

Safety Of The Aqua Detox treatment

While alternative medicine certainly generates its share of skeptics, it is nonetheless safe and inexpensive. Anyone desiring an Aqua Detox treatment can continue to undergo traditional medical treatments or take their prescription drugs, using Aqua Detox as a complementary health procedure. The only people for whom Aqua Detox is contraindicated are those with pacemakers, pregnant women, and epileptics.

If you like what you've read so far about aqua detox treatment, and want to investigate having one for yourself, you can feel reassured that it will not interfere with the effects of your existing medications, because your body recognizes beneficial substances and will not flush them out as toxins. Your Aqua Detox foot-spa treatment may also include Gas Discharge Visualization photography which will let you compare before-and-after images of your body's energy field.

Although ionic foot baths have been available for several years, especially in the UK and Europe, it is still relatively unknown in the USA.

Our experience with it first originated when my 6 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with lymphoma. To hear the news that a loved one has cancer, especially when it is a child, is devastating to say the least. What were we going to do?

Our family has always leaned towards alternative medicine so we decided to research everything we could to see if we could handle this without doing the traditional chemotherapy and radiation. If we couldn't, we would go with the traditional methods.

We were very fortunate to have a very dear friend who pointed us in the right direction and hooked us up with a very knowledgeable doctor whose understanding of the human body and the effects of nutrition and environmental pollution, and how it relates to health, was absolute gold for us.

The first thing he did for us was change her diet. No sugar, no junk food what so ever, just pure nutrition for her body. She also took 37 different vitamins, minerals, herbs and homeopathies 7 times per day. Half of them were in liquid form that she could mix in with a little juice which made it a lot easier for her.

Basically we discovered that her body was over acidic from environmental toxins and too much over processed foods and disease thrives in this type of environment. We had to make her body more alkaline with health building nutritious foods, vitamins and herbs.

We also had to get all forms of chemicals out of the house and have her use natural shampoos, soaps, tooth pastes etc.

We also discovered that she was riddled with parasites so some of the herbs she took were for handling that. What a shock to see what was coming out of her body.

Because she was so toxic, we were introduced to the ionic foot bath which she did on a regular basis.

I am not a doctor but my understanding of the foot bath is this:

In a common plastic bucket, you place the metal array in clean water that has a little sea salt in it. The array puts out a very small current with positive and negative ions that circulate through the body. The oppositely charged toxins attach to them and by osmosis the toxins are pulled out through the pores of the feet. The clean water starts to change color depending on what organs are detoxing.

Dark brown/black- is the liver detoxing

Orange- the joints

Yellow- urinary tract

Dark green- gallbladder

Black flecks- heavy metals

Red flecks-blood clot material

White foam- lymph nodes draining

In all fairness, the water will change color to some degree without feet in it because the metal, water, salt and minerals will react. But what you are looking for is the sludge that floats on the top of the water that stains the sides of the bucket. We found some independent studies done with and without feet and it showed the mucus in the water that just the water, salt and the metal array wouldn't produce by itself.

In my research on the subject, some say, don't worry about what color the water changes to. Instead, notice what it is doing for you. I saw before and after pictures of blood samples of someone doing a foot bath. Before, the cells were clumped together in chains, and the after picture showed free flowing cells.

I was so impressed by the ionic foot bath, I purchased one for myself and my family. I had severe arthritis in my right elbow and I couldn't straighten my arm. After about five half hour sessions, I started to notice my elbow was not hurting as bad. After about nine or ten sessions, the arthritis was completely gone and I had complete motion back. After a year, my arthritis has not returned. What a blessing to be pain free.

My self and several family members reported a more clear headed feeling after doing a foot bath.

To make a long story short, my grand daughter is free of cancer and has been for two years. She has maintained her healthy lifestyle and nutritious meals and regular foot baths for maintenance.

It worked for my grand daughter and myself. Will it work for you? I don't know! That is something you decide for your self.

It is just my opinion that anything that helps you detox safely could only be good for a body.

In today's times we live in a very toxic environment. The pollution in the air, the chemicals in our food, the water we drink and even the clothes we wear. At any given moment you may be exposed to toxins and heavy metals. These toxins accumulate in the body and can be stored in your fat cells, which tend to want to hang on to them.

A good way to release toxic build up in your body is to sweat such as in a sauna or hot bath. But for most busy people, they do not have the time to spend hours in the sauna for the best results. Plus that may be a bit too uncomfortable and when used for detoxification should be supervised by a licensed practitioner.

There is an easy alternative more and more people are finding great success with to rid your body of these unwanted toxins. That is the use of ionic detox footbaths. This is not your ordinary footbath.

Ionic Detox footbaths work by sending a small current that goes in a circuit through the body and generates positively charged ions. The high concentration of the ion field attaches to the negatively charged toxins neutralizing them and the body is then able to discard them through the approximate 2000 pores that are on the bottom of your feet. You can then experience the correct acid-alkaline ph balance as nature intended. It's painless and takes about 30 minutes. Even children ages 4 and up can safely use it. (supervised of course)

People who should not use this footbath are people with pace makers or who have organ transplants or expectant or nursing mothers.

Most Americans are in somewhat of an acid state. Our bodies are not in the natural ph balance that it should be. The result is that you are now left open to various diseases. A body that is in its natural alkaline-acid ph balance will be able to fight off the daily onslaught the body receives. This is a very important activity, especially if you are recovering from illness or post surgery!

The body has its own electrical field and if is too positively charged you are in an acid state. You can find out your own ph balance by going to your local health food store or drug store and purchase test strips. They are easy to use and show you in seconds if you are acid or alkaline.

Detox footbaths can assist in the following areas:

1) Enhancing the immune system

2) Assist in recovery time from injuries and surgery

3) Can relieve pain and joint stiffness due to arthritis

4) Improves sleep pattern

5) Remove heavy metals

6) Removes blood clot material

7) Improve liver and kidney function

During the use of an ionic foot bath the color of the water changes. The various colors can tell you what area the body may be detoxing.

Black or brown water is the liver.

Orange; the joints.

Dark green; the gallbladder

Yellowy green; kidneys, urinary tract,

White foam; Lymph nodes draining

Red flecks; blood clot material

Black flecks; heavy metals

The color of the water may be different for each individual due to water you use such as city water, well water, mineral water and the state of your health. When you put the metal array into water by itself you may see color changes in the water such as a brownish color. But it is the oily residue floating on the top that determines if you are getting rid of unwanted toxins in the body. The more you use the machine the less you will have yucky build up in the water.

An important part of using this system is to make sure you are properly hydrated. Drink plenty of good water (not distilled) before and during the session is very important as well as the use of colloidal minerals and electrolytes. This ensures better conductivity.

After only one use you may experience renewed energy and vitality. You owe it to yourself and family to regain better health and try using a detox footbath!

It's well known that women love shoes more than - well, just about anything. Some theorize the reason for such an obsession is that shoes speak the language of sex - a form of visual Morse code, if you will. Stilettos or open-toed heels send entirely different messages than a pair of hiking boots or bunny slippers.

Buying shoes for women as a gift is a very tricky business, and best avoided, since selecting the right pair really requires being able to try them on (among other things). If you want to give a gift to the shoe lover in your life, there are an amazing number of options available. And, while men may be mystified about the reasons why women must have pair after pair of shoes, there is one thing about a woman's shoe-wearing that they can actually relate to - how her feet look in them.

Beauty care products for feet are a natural complement to wearing beautiful shoes, and shoe lovers also enjoy the home-care pampering that these gifts offer. Even the most expensive designer shoe will not feel right if toenails are ugly or heels are blemished by rough, flaky or hard skin.

Come to think of it, you might also consider the fact that if YOUR feet are ugly, you can bet she has noticed. She may be too polite to tell you, but you might want to pick up a few products for yourself before sandal season starts, since gnarly toes sticking out of sandals or dry, rough feet are not the way to impress women! Since natural is better, here are some suggestions for a Valentine's Day Pedicure Gift Basket:
