| Why IonCleanse™? How Does the IonCleanse™ Work? Here's the scientific explanation:AC electricity is converted to low power DC electricity which flows through a patented electrode system that sits in the footbath. The electricity and the metal combine to split the water molecule into H+ and OH- ions. These ions travel through the body, neutralize oppositely charged particles and through powerful osmotic pressure pull those neutralized particles out of the body through whatever skin surface is in contact with the water. The feet are particularly well-suited to this purpose because there are thousands of sweat glands there, through which toxins and fluid can be released. Why Detoxify? ....because we are living in the most polluted and un-natural environment in known human history....We are continually inhaling and assimilating residues from substances such as petrochemicals, plastics, and pesticides; and these residues can occupy cell receptor sites in our bodies and interfere with normal hormone production and utilization. Proper hormone production and utilization is absolutely essential to the proper, healthy functioning of the organism that is our body. Consider the following per capita statistics: 1,600% increase in birth defects since 1980 250% increase in breast cancer since 1980 59% decrease in male sperm count since 1940 500% increase in cancer mortality since 1900 400% increase in heart disease since 1900 All of the above statistics can be directly correlated to our increased exposure to petrochemicals, toxins from artificial substances, heavy metals and man-made chemicals in the environment. When the human body reaches the upper threshold of its ability to assimilate and discard these toxins, it just goes "haywire". While no process or modality can guarantee the elimination or prevention of toxic conditions, it seems logical to assume that an ongoing detoxification program - the act of minimizing and or reducing toxic accumulations in the body - can help to reduce the incidence of chronic degenerative disease and improve overall quality of life. The IonCleanse™ is one of the tools that can be used to assist in the process of detoxification. Note: Virtually all alternative healing approaches make liberal use of detoxification protocols, as do many individual mainstream approaches. Detoxifying the body has been a familiar modality to ancient healing traditions such as Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Native American -- for thousands of years. |
