Ionic Foot Bath Detox

How does this work?

An ionic foot detox works by pulling toxins out of your body through your feet. Take, for example, the popular foot detox bath IonCleanse. Advertised as a safe and relaxing way to clear out the body, the ionizing machine ionizes the foot bath water.

This process is said to give the hydrogen in the water a positive charge, which attracts the negatively charged toxins in your body. The ions in the foot bath water supposedly hold a charge that enables them to bind to any heavy metals and toxins in your body, similar to how a magnet works. This allows the toxins to be pulled out through the bottoms of your feet.

How Heavy Metals and Toxins effect the body?

Heavy metals and toxins can negatively affect the body by disrupting various cellular functions, leading to potential health issues like neurological damage, kidney dysfunction, liver damage, reproductive problems, and even cancer, depending on the specific toxin and level of exposure; they can interfere with enzyme activity, damage DNA, and accumulate in specific organs, causing a range of symptoms depending on the affected system.

  • Cellular disruption:
    Heavy metals can bind to proteins and enzymes within cells, disrupting their normal function and causing cellular damage. 

  • Organ accumulation:
    Certain organs like the liver, kidneys, and brain can accumulate heavy metals due to their filtering functions, leading to specific organ toxicity. 

  • Neurological effects:
    Exposure to heavy metals like lead and mercury can significantly affect the nervous system, causing cognitive impairment, memory problems, and motor coordination issues. 

  • Developmental impacts:
    Children are particularly vulnerable to heavy metal exposure due to their developing organs and higher absorption rates, which can lead to developmental delays and learning difficulties. 

  • Immune system dysfunction:
    Heavy metal exposure can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections.

Heavy Metals & Their Effects 

  • Lead: Can affect brain development, cause anemia, and lead to kidney damage. 

  • Mercury: Can cause neurological problems, including tremors, vision disturbances, and cognitive decline. 

  • Arsenic: Linked to skin lesions, lung cancer, and cardiovascular disease. 

  • Cadmium: Can damage kidneys and contribute to bone disease. 

  • Chromium (hexavalent): Associated with respiratory issues and an increased risk of lung cancer.
