I just went for a ion foot detox bath this morning. I thought of the salt, mineral and metal chemistry reaction theory but nevertheless, soak my feet for almost an hour and paid SGD36 (abt Euro18) for that. Cuz I had a bad headache for the past 2 days and wanted to detox by fasting or excercising, so the desire was already there.

I was esp excited when the therapist showed me a small half centimetre of white glob in the murky brownish water, supposedly a parasite, a tapeworm, drawn out of my feet, wow!! And thus I signed for a package of 6 sessions for $90.

But I still have my headache and now tingling feet, so when I came home, I researched on the Internet and found this forum.

** Now I am going to get the rest of my money back this evening! Esp after reading the article you recommended on http://www.chem1.com/CQ/ionbunk.html

I conclude it's just an expensive foot scrub --> Now I have a never-before nice smooth feet now due to the "lye" removing my dead cells. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
