It seems a difficult task these days to avoid disease and maintain our health and vitality in the modern toxic world we live in. We are continually bombarded by toxins in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, as well as by our own internal toxins generated by poor digestion and elimination.
Today we are exposed to the greatest toxic load in our planet's history. Many of these toxins are bio-accumulative and continue to build up in the body's cells and organs, altering their function and weakening the tissues, which can result in the loss of energy, inability of the body to heal, and an increased susceptibility to disease processes. How do we detoxify? Fortunately we have many choices that are natural and effective.
IonCleanse® Foot Bath sessions are a gentle and relaxing way to help detoxify the body. Millions of ions are produced by the IonCleanse® machine as you enjoy a warm foot bath. These ions enter the body, neutralizing excess acids and toxins. Through the process of osmosis, these materials can then exit the body through the pores in the feet. Throughout the 30-minute cleanse, you will notice that the originally clear water changes color and texture as the toxins are pulled from the body and passed into the water.
Utilizing this technology, the IonCleanse® is an indispensable tool to help maintain optimum health and energy levels. Healthy individuals often feel lighter and more energized after a session and report a greater sense of general well-being. Testimonials include symptomatic relief from pain and stiffness, swollen joints, edema, allergies and skin conditions. The IonCleanse® is safe for use from ages 3yrs to 90+ and detoxifies the body more quickly and effectively than herbal cleanses and fasting.
Recall the way your body felt the last time you stood next to a waterfall or walked along a beach with the waves breaking at your feet. You breathed deeper into your lungs and abdomen; your brain cleared and the pains in your joints subsided. You felt relaxed and at peace with the world.
These invigorating reactions were caused by the ionization of trillions of water molecules as they crashed to earth. A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. When the molecule loses a hydrogen atom, the remaining OH molecule takes on a negative charge. As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions, which alkalize the blood and tissue. Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products such as diacetic, lactic, pyruvic, uric, carbonic, acetic, butyric, and heptic acids.
According to Dr. Theodore Baroody, author of ‘Alkalize Or Die’, acid wastes attack joints, tissues, muscles, organs and glands causing minor to major dysfunction. He asserts that avoiding disease and maintaining vitality as we age requires the maintenance of an alkaline environment throughout the body. This is virtually impossible to accomplish in our high-tech, high-stress, toxic society unless we can walk on the beach every day.
The Ionic Foot Bath creates precisely the same environment as a walk along the beach, only more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the water. Place your feet in the water, turn on the unit and within seconds, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes.
Fat and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 20-30 minute session. Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience a greater sense of well-being from each ionic foot bath.
Rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, yellow-green and blotched complexions often indicate a build-up of tissue acid wastes inside the body. Several ionic foot baths along with dietary modifications may substantially reduce and even eliminate these conditions.*
The Ionic Foot Bath purifies the body more effectively and faster than any herbal or fasting protocols, with little or no stress to the patient.* Why Detoxify the Body?
We are living in the most polluted environment in the earth's known history. We are continually inhaling and assimilating residues from petrochemicals, plastics and pesticides that occupy cell receptor sites and block hormone utilization. Consider the following statistics:
All of the above statistics are directly related to the increased exposure to petrochemicals, toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals in the environment. While no process or modality can guarantee the prevention of these conditions, it is logical to assume that an ongoing detoxification program - the act of minimizing toxic accumulations in the body - will reduce the incidence of chronic degenerative disease and improve overall quality of life.
Virtually all alternative healing approaches make liberal use of detoxification protocols. Detoxifying the body has been a familiar modality to all ancient healing traditions including Ayurveda, Chinese and Native American for thousands of years. In a recent article entitled The Pollution Within (National Geographic October 2006 pgs 117-143) David Ewing Duncan explores the toxic load our bodies are exposed to just living on this planet

Contraindications: Any person falling into one or more of these categories should NOT use the IonCleanse®
We believe that some people can lose electrolytes (calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium) during IonCleanse sessions. Make sure you are taking a good vitamin supplement that provides those minerals, along with fatty acids and vitamin C. Because detoxification accelerates change in the body, these supplements help to support this process.
As a general rule, the maximum session frequency for clients under 50 years of age is once every other day for 14 sessions, with a three week break before beginning the next sequence of 14 sessions. If the client experiences fatigue session time is reduced and session spacing is increased. The maximum recommended session frequency for clients over 50 is once every third day, with a two-week break after 14 sessions.
* Clients with chronic conditions can consider bathing every other day without a break, as long as they don’t lose energy or become uncomfortable (nauseous, angry, or panicky).
* Children with autism may be bathed every other day without a break.
**** Fatigue indicates an overstressed condition, and emotional upheaval indicates that emotional toxins are being released along with chemical toxins. The long-term effectiveness of the IonCleanse® system depends on other life-enhancing changes that the client is willing to make. In order to maintain a productive life, detoxification is a necessity.
