Hey this is a very good post. Russ, your experiments sound very well thought out and scientific.

First off I would like to say I have a degree in molecular and cellular biology and I am attending medical school. I would say about 7 months ago I tried one of these foot baths because I was simply curious and was visiting the neighborhood naturopath.

He only charged me about 20 dollars for a 30 minute sessions and I have to admit I was waay skeptical and didn't expect anything. Having extensive knowledge of chemistry and biological processes I just couldn't see how this would work and most of the stuff he told me I knew to be poppy cock from the very beginning but I entertained him.

So I watch him put the distilled water and add some sea salt to the mixture and then I get my feet in there. Immediately I felt a tingling sensation. I thought well that feels cool anyway, I'll just enjoy that. By the time it was over I felt like I had a energy high, and when I say that I mean that it simply felt like I had both more physical energy and strangely enough spiritual energy.

Now that is probably a surprise to hear "spiritual energy" but I have done a large amount of research and personal exploration into raising these spiritual energy levels and I am quite aware of what it feels like when it happens.

I wasn't expecting this result at all and was quite pleased with it. Of course the water also looked nasty and was actually stinky but personally I think that these chemicals and organic substances that were removed were minimal. Its not unimaginable that a wide variety of colors and textures are possible but I believe they could easily be attributed to metal interactions between the diodes and anything secreted.

Honestly the colors may be only from cleaning your feet. I can't imagine the quantity of organisms and chemicals that are trapped in our callouses and underneath your toenails. But it did have an energizing effect on me.
In a few weeks I may get another treatment done and see if I have the same effects as previously mentioned. I will try to post back here.

The reason I thought my post may be important was because it added a spiritual energy component (perhaps bio-energetic) that had not really been previously spoken of and that I did not expect any results.
