I had my first ion foot bath last weekend and had several questions I would like answered.

1. Have any of you who have the machines, set things up, put inthe salts (or whatever is used) and then left it alone for 30 minutes to see what color the water changes to? I've been told the water changes to brown whether your feet are in it or not. Would love to know the difference in the color.

2. Why the feet and not the hands? Can you do a hands bath? Would that pull more toxins from the upper body than the feet bath? How can the toxins be pulled from the feet when the soles seem so callused, and not supple?

3. Could you alternate between foot bath and hand bath?

4. How young a person can have one of these baths, and how long would it be for a little 5 year old with swollen lymph nodes in the neck?

Any answers would be appreciated. You can email them to <warneki@aol.com> I'll also look back here. Thanks much. Diane
