Foot Detox: Reclaim Your Health at Fountain Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Fountain, CO
In today’s world, we’re surrounded by toxins like never before. From pesticides on our food and chemicals in our water to pollutants in the air and harsh substances in everyday products such as soaps, shampoos, and cleaning agents, our bodies are constantly under attack. Ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate, found in many household items, have been linked to serious health concerns, including cancer.
Beyond environmental factors, heavy metals such as mercury from dental fillings, lead, arsenic, and aluminum, as well as vaccinations, household adhesives, paints, plastics heated in microwaves, tobacco, and medications, all add to the toxin burden. These toxins can contribute to symptoms like swelling, rashes, insomnia, headaches, fatigue, allergies, and even mental fog.
Understanding Acidosis and Its Symptoms
When harmful toxins enter the body, they often convert to acids, leading to a condition called acidosis, which can trigger a range of health problems.
Early signs of acidosis include fatigue, headaches, bloating, acne, constipation, food sensitivities, panic attacks, sluggish circulation, and joint discomfort.
Moderate symptoms may include asthma, bronchitis, insomnia, psoriasis, fungal infections, depression, and cold sores.
Advanced stages are linked to serious illnesses such as cancer, fibromyalgia, weight gain, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, diabetes, lupus, leukemia, heart disease, and migraines.
Insights from Dr. Theodore Baroody on Alkalinity
Dr. Theodore Baroody, author of Alkalize or Die, explains that acidic waste damages joints, muscles, organs, and glands, causing dysfunction ranging from mild to severe. He highlights that maintaining an alkaline environment in the body is vital for health and aging well. However, this is challenging in today’s high-stress and toxin-filled environment unless you can regularly walk barefoot on the beach.
How the IonCleanse® Foot Detox Mimics Nature
The IonCleanse® foot detox replicates the beneficial effects of a beach walk, but more powerfully. When your feet soak in the IonCleanse® water, they absorb millions of negatively charged ions (OH-) created as water molecules split and lose hydrogen atoms. These ions attach to and neutralize toxins in your body, which then exit through the skin and appear as residues in the water after your 30-minute session.
Many patients notice feeling lighter, clearer in mind, more energetic, and generally improved well-being after just one session.
How the IonCleanse® System Works
AC electricity is converted into low-power DC electricity, flowing through a patented electrode array in the footbath. This process splits water molecules into positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-). These ions generate magnetic fields that attract and neutralize oppositely charged particles, drawing them out through the skin by osmotic pressure.
Important Contraindications
For your safety, the IonCleanse® should not be used by individuals who:
- Wear pacemakers or other battery-operated electrical implants
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Take medications regulating heart rhythm
