Default Ion foot detox cleanse....

Has anyone tried this?
I have been researching this as much as I can, and getting lots of different feed back..
I have a day spa, and was thinking about bringing this into the services but wanna hear what you think.
I have contacted Natropaths in my area, some are all for it where as other dont know enough about it...........
May be I should just go and get a treatment myself.
Thanks

I have seen ads on TV for "pads" and it looks like a scam to me, but that is just my opinion.

I looked into this as well as I could on the internet one time and concluded it was bunk. Disappointing because I thought it looked intriguing, but then I don't want to waste my money!

I agree that it's a scam. There are plenty of common chemicals that will slowly turn dark when exposed to moisture, such as in water, or even just the moisture from your body.

I get Dr. Joseph Mercola's newsletter and this came today:
