    Default Detox with pictures!

    I ordered 3 packs of detox patches for my feet through a company called Avon. Last night I used them for the first time.

    I just wanted to share with you all what happens when you use them. They are white before you put them on and then you sleep with them on the bottom of your feet. Peel off in the morning and they should have changed colour. Many toxins in your body come out and get absorbed into the pads. I think I'm fairly healthy so I didn't think I would see much but OH WOW!

    The pads turned black green, the middle is a little bit dry because I didnt have the center pressed tight enough against my feet but the rest of it is green and as I peeled off the pads green slim peeled off too and the pads smelt rank like BBQ sauce!!

    But I am soooo stoked that they worked! So here are some pictures!

    I use those too! The first time I used them, I could feel my circulation pulsing through my leg and it kept me up at night. Sometimes, my leg would even cramp up. When I got to the second box, the pads were getting lighter and lighter, so I knew they were working. (The first pad I used came off BLACK). Can you send a link to the site where you got them? I bought mine off taoofherbs.com, and they were a little pricey, but worth it. Also, when I got my first box, they sent me a card & envelope to mail them a used foot pad for lab testing. I had arsenic, ispropoyl (sp?) alcohol and other toxins that came out on the pad through my feet!

    WOW no way!!
    That is cool that you could get them tested! Mine didn't come with that!
    Mine are from Avon.ca ( I hope I can post that)
    And mine came with 6 in a pack for 12.99.
    When I used them I noticed a cooling sensation where the pad was.. almost like when you get out of a hot shower and the air touches your skin. But thats all. This morning I felt really energized. More than usual.. I duno if that was the pads or just all in my head

    Oh my gosh! I have never heard of these. That's amazing. Reminds of those Biore strips you put across your nose and when you peel it off it looks like a porcupine form all of the junk it pulls out of your pores. Ick!

    I wanna try these. Thanks for posting!

    I wonder what would happen if you placed them somewhere besides your feet???

    I showed your foot patches to hubby last night and it amazed him enough that we are buying some tomorrow. I just happened to have an Avon catalog left at my door a couple of days ago. Coincidence? :) I'll let you know if anything neat happens after I get them.

    I've heard these are great too. There are people who do this to. They put your feet in a bath of some solution and the water turns yucky colors. My brother did it at a spa. The feet are a great way to release stuff from the body. Think of it...gravity....you are on your feet most of the time... I put a piece of aloe on my daughter's friends foot one night because she had a sore. The next day it was all black!
    I'd rather juice my grass! :cool:

    Dream - that could be because I remember that list of foods you've NEVER eaten and so you probably are way healthier then most. Remember that list? I can't remember who was questioning that you never ate those things...RowanC? Somebody...

    I was doing a search to see if I could find a home recipe to try this but came up with an experiment that gives a different story. http://herballure.com/Studies/IonicFootSpa.html

    I am still going to get the foot pads and I am still looking for a home solution. I wanna see for myself. :) If anyone knows of a recipe for a foot soak please post it.
