I'm doing a cleanse and want one that works. I suspect that the brown stuff you see on the pads are nothing more than the herbs and goo that was inside the pad and melted when came in contact with foot heat.
Well there are some real skeptics out there. I did pads for awhile with no noticable effect...
HOWEVER....there is one thing I do know, our feet do indeed absorb very efficiently. If you rub garlic on the bottom of your foot, you will taste it in your mouth.
When my child had a very high fever I was told to put egg whites on his feet. I did, and the fever dropped 2 degrees within 15 minutes.
I should think if you googled the feet as a vehicle to the body, you might find some interesting and useful information, perhaps to add to this post for the use of other people? If I had time, I would do that....
I think there is some value in this, but I could not say if it indeed improved my health as I was doing a bunch of cleanses at the time.
My son had a 104 degree and was down below 102 in less than 15 minutes. I usually leave a fever alone but this was more than a Mom could bear, he was so miserable. He was so miserable, he let me do this, and later on he BEGGED me to do it.
Unfortunately his fever went back up in about 2 hours, but it did not get back up to the levels it was before. So I think this is more a quick fix for a dangerously high fever.
I fully believe in the pads, you should try them while you are doing the iodine, M, you will be very surprised the difference in what comes out through your feet! I use them every now and again when my kidneys need a break from the detox. It helps a lot.
Yes, I remember that, but I had just started a bunch of things. Since I've calmed down a bit on trying new stuff, I tend to assess slowly now. I now only add one thing at a time.
I have since tried the foot pads when not doing so for months and months, and while on a steady protocol. It was then that I realized that what I was experiencing back then was a ton of different reactions to the myriad of things I was doing. I was impatient...but boy was I enthusiastic.
I still feel that they are beneficial and there was no doubt I "felt" something that first week, but the effects did not last after that. What was happening, if I recall was headache, some joint pains and I was really tired. Perhaps that was heavy detox that went away in the ensuing weeks?
It's strange to go back and read old posts. There were many that I read now and think.....what the hell was I thinking?
These worked for me and many others I turned onto them, especially of note was a boy with severe arsenic poisoning and a girl with autism (suspected cause from heavy metals). I like the gold ones best (for heavy metals), because I have fillings. Nice people who run the site and good price.
