Cellular Cleansing Ionic Detox Footbath

What is a Cellular Cleansing Ionic Detox Footbath?
It is a warm water soak for your feet with a low electrical charge that generates negative oxygen ions which are absorbed by your body, neutralizing the positive ions, also known as free radicals. The cells are stimulated and energized by the charged ions, releasing cellular waste and strengthening the cells so the body begins to function at its normal energy levels. It eliminates toxins that are stored in fat, kidneys, liver, bowels and skin and also activates the body’s lymphatic system which helps continue the detoxification for up to 24-48 hours after a session.
Who can benefit from ionic detox foobaths?
This is a safe treatment for anyone over the age of 4 years. We are constantly exposed to chemical and heavy metal residues, tissue acid wastes and stress. This treatment is suggested for people who have accumulated stored toxins from everyday exposures to both natural and synthetic pollutants that exist in our air, water, food and clothing and are not able to get rid of them efficiently, due to overworked liver, spleen and kidney functions. 

Who CAN NOT USE the ionic detox footbath?
·      Persons with a pacemaker or any other battery-operated or electrical implant
·      Persons who are on heartbeat regulation medication
·      Pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers
·      Organ transplant recipients
·      Persons having an organ removed, especially the colon
·      Persons taking a medication, the absence of which would mentally or physically incapacitate them (for example, seizures, psychotic episodes, etc.)
·      Persons with metal joint implants may experience discomfort

How do I know that I need a footbath treatment?
Your body will present signs that it needs to detox. Some of these signs may include brain fog, poor memory, skin breakouts, fatigue, skin rashes, irregularity, low libido, depressed feelings, insomnia, bad breath, dry lips, sore muscles, moodiness, weight gain, belly bloat. Everyone’s body speaks to them in its own way. If you don’t feel your best, you may benefit from detoxing. The detox footbath complements and enhances the bio-lymphatic drainage treatment (BELD). 
How does it work? 
A healthy, optimally functioning human cell has a charge of between 0.7-0.9 volts. Cells that are injured or stressed will measure as low as 0.1-0.2 volts, resulting in both poor waste discharge and poor nutritional absorption. Build-up of positive ions from poor diets, stress and a toxic environment will lower a cell's voltage and functionality.  

The footbath creates an ionic field of charged particles that enables them to pull out and bind heavy metals and toxins through your feet, similar to the way in which a magnet works. Through the process of 
Osmosis, cellular waste is moved from the body. Osmosis is where fluids pass through a semi-permeable membrane where a solution is less dense. The molecules small enough to pass through the cell membrane are removed while larger molecules such as proteins will not pass through. During the 30 minute detox foot treatment, the body only releases what is small enough and ready to be released while the rest will go out through the body’s natural elimination system.

How might it affect me?

Each footbath treatment can affect a person’s body in unique and different ways as it moves towards a healthy balance. Once the body’s energy is stimulated, the cells release their toxins into to move out through the lymphatic system. Possible reactions may be a stronger smell or darker colour to your urine and/or increased bowel movement which can last from 3-5 days after having one treatment. After the treatment you are encouraged to drink lots of water to assist the toxin elimination process.

What is in the water?

The footbath solution is hot tap water and ½ teaspoon of Himalayan salt crystals which makes an electrolyte which works with an electrode to create negative ions which will attract positive ions.

Will the water change colour during the treatment?


The water will change colour at least to an orangey colour due to oxidation from the electrolysis of the water. Depending on the chemicals in the municipal water, and the interaction of the minerals in the salt, other colours may be seen. Many impurities, such as heavy metals, are invisible to the eye. Depending on the state of health of the person being treated, the water will change colour but you cannot diagnose on the basis of colour.



Can I use my cellphone during the footbath treatment?
Using a cell phone could affect your electromagnetic field. The footbath unit affects your energetic field and cellular field so any other electronic influences can affect the detox process. Also, you want to lower your stress level. The more relaxed you are, the more your body will allow you to optimize your detox footbath. 
Can I eat during the treatment?
Yes you can eat during the treatment.
What can I expect from a treatment?
Each person will experience a treatment in their own unique way. Some may feel energized and elated. Others may want to sleep. Some may feel nauseous or dizzy if they are dehydrated or if heavy toxins are being released in the body. People who lack minerals may experience leg and foot cramps. Those who are sensitive may feel tingling or pulling during the treatment.
How will I know that the treatments are working?
Be aware of changes in your energy, sleep patterns, mood changes, and relief from health ailments.
Has anyone ever tested what was removed in a treatment?
Yes, three controlled lab tests have been done between 2002 and 2005.
Here are the results of a 3rdparty test done in 2005 by Severn Trent Lab which analyzed elements that were removed from the body.


How many treatments will I need?
It is impossible to know how many sessions will work for each person, because not only will you be detoxing, but at the same time you will still be accumulating toxins daily by the way you live your life!
We suggest that you begin with a total of 6 sessions over a 3 week period to maximize detoxification and then switch to monthly sessions. The frequency of the detox foot bath sessions plays a part in how quickly results are achieved.
How much do treatments cost?
 One 30 minute treatment costs $40. plus HST. 
A 6 treatment package costs $225. plus HST.
A 12 treatment package costs $420. plus HST.
What does a detox footbath session look like?
During the session you sit in a comfortable chair with your feet in warm water. Most people find it very relaxing and it is not unusual for people to fall asleep during the treatment.
What are some health benefits of detoxing my body?
Some of the possible health benefits of detoxifying your body are:
  • Removal of toxins and body waste products that can cause health problems
  • Heavy metal removal
  • Faster recovery time from illness, accident or surgery
  • Reduced inflammation and fluid retention
  • Enhanced nutrient absorption
  • Increased oxygen levels and energy
  • Inactivation of viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus
  • Improved sleep and relief from tension
  • Strengthened Immune System
  • Detoxing the liver
  • Helping to clear up skin eruptions
  • Rejuvenating and energizing your whole body, relieving stress
  • Boosting your mood and focus
  • Increased circulation
  • Slows down aging
  • Seasonal allergy relief
  • Symptomatic relief from edema, gout, swollen joints, pain and headache
How do I prepare for my detox footbath session?
1.    Do not wear metal, use a computer or phone during the treatment.
2.    Do not use a computer or phone during the treatment.
3.    Persons with low blood sugar should eat before the session.
4.    Any prescription meds should be taken either 4 hours before or after the session.
5.    Hydrate before during and after treatment. If dehydrated, you may feel headachy or nauseous.

What is Lymphatic Drainage ????

What is bio - electric lymphatic drainage? Bio - Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD) is a type of  therapy that uses a light beam generator, which emits a  stream  of photons (negative ions).  BELD is the most  recent advancement of this technology - a vibration  energy technology. That means it emits energetic  information to the energy field of the cells via harmonic  sounds, frequencies of light, and Noble Gas Ionization.  These are known for their antibacterial and  antimicrobial properties. This light beam emits a heartbeat pulsation that when combined with a manual  lymphatic drainage massage, helps improve the flow in  blood and lymph. Simultaneously, this process loosens  waste from  cells which assists in the removal of toxins, poisons and trapped proteins, literal ly cleaning the  spaces between cells and allowing waste products and toxins to slowly and safely flow o ut through normal  channels....

PHOTOBIOMODULATION - A Light therapy ?

Image
What is photobiomodulation ? Photobiomodulation is the name for light therapy. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, which means it has electric fields and magnetic fields vibrating back and forth very quickly as a wave. The speed of the vibration is called frequency. Frequency is the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second. Light therapy is also known as photobiostimulation which means “the stimulation of life with light.” Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm), equal to one-billionth of a metre. Light wavelengths measure approximately as follows: Ultraviolet (UV): 10 to 380 nm Violet — 380 to 450 nm Indigo — 440 to 460 nm Blue — 450 to 495 nm Cyan — 485 to 510 Green — 495 to 570 nm Yellow — 570 to 590 nm Amber — 580 to 600 nm Orange — 590 to 610 nm Red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) — 610 to 700 nm Near-Infrared (NIR) — 700 to...

What is Blastocystis?

Image
  What is Blastocystis? Blastocystis is one of many microscopic parasites that can live in your digestive tract. Some people experiencing diarrhea, abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal problems have blastocystis organisms in their stool. Researchers don't fully understand the role blastocystis plays, if any, in causing disease. Most commonly, blastocystis organisms simply live in a person's digestive tract without causing harm.   Blastocystis may be transmitted through food or water or by contact with human or animal feces. Generally speaking, Blastocystis infection is more common among people who live in or travel to developing countries and among people who work with animals and clean up after animals.   Blastocystis in humans was once identified as a single species called Blastocystis hominis, but to date, 17 subtypes have been found. The scientific name used now is Blastocystis spp, an abbreviation that means "multiple species." A blastocystis infection is cal...
