I went to Big Lots yesterday evening..

[Bethanie]

and i saw KINOKI Cleansing detox foot pads there, i had seen them on tv and decided to try them.
For the last couple of days i had a stuffy nose,dugout feeling and very weak just dragging through the day.
I purchased a box for $10.00 and put them on last night, not knowing what to expect:rolleyes:you can't believe everything you see on tv.
But when i woke up this morning my nose was clear, my head felt great and i had energy enough to clear my kitchen and go shopping and i'm still feeling great.
Has anyone else tryed these, i am glad i got a box and i went back for a second one.
Do they really work? I can only say they helped me feel much better:)

I buy something similar for my brother who has MS. He thinks that they are great. I pay $190 for a pack of 100.

I bought them and used them for about 5 days, then read about all the scams and realized that it was sweat turning the pads black, nothing else. I did an experiment with water and got the same result. If they help you, use them, but I am not sure if they are scientifically what they claim to be. I continued to use them hoping they were working. Who knows? Maybe they were and I was hasty. I moved to a new apt. and I dumped them instead of packing them; I never replaced that box. Maybe if I had continued using them I would have a better story..Sorry, not much help here.

i saw these reviewed on a tv program (the doctors) and they tested the pads themselves... turned out they were full of lead (i believe it was)... scary stuff. they tested the pads before and after use... and they tested the same. your sweat just turns the pads black from the lead in the pad itself. i wouldn't use them.

I have always felt like that about them but my brother feels different. He is convinced that they relieve the pain in his leg. I am aware that it may be a placebo effect but I do not care. As long as he believes it I will continue to get them for him.
We all know that the placebo effect works as well as meds and I want him on as little meds as possible.

My mom tried some once, and she didn't need as much sleep.

It is probably more placebo affect than anything.

stepped on the scales this morning.
This is something that i've been trying to do which is jump start my weightloss, slow metabolim and all but my energy level is better this morning.
I'm seeing some positive changes real or not i'm happy with what's happening.
Oh Sport, i noticed on e-bay that 100 pads are going for less than $20.00 i just click on e-bay and Detox foot pads, so that will save you loads of money for your brother:)

Thank you. I will get some and try them out on him. The problem is that if he does not believe in them they would not do him any good.

[Bethanie]

I went searching via the web and found, how to make your own foot detox pads:)
It's not very hard, i wish i could send you the web site but i'll try to go there and tell you how to get to it if possible.
It uses cinnamon, vinegar, dandelion, etc.
You paint it on gauze pads and let it stay on overnite and it's cheaper.

[Bethanie]

You will see How to make your own detox pads eHow.com, i believe it's the first one listed with instructions included.
I'm going to try to make some later today when i get the gauze pads.
Hope you try them.

Just do a warm footbath and add some braggs apple cider vinegar for a nice detox. Do it before bed, add lavender oil or shower after so you don't smell like a salad. :)

What does it do for you?
