What is an Ion Cleanse?        

The Ion Cleanse machine helps the body detoxify while you are comfortably seated with your feet placed in a container of warm water. This is a very efficient way to remove toxins regardless of where in the body they are located.  The Ion-Cleanse process generates a stream of positive and negative ions which attract and attach themselves to oppositely
charged toxic particles.  These particles are then drawn back out through the skin by the process of osmosis.  Each session takes approximately 25 minutes.

YOU CAN SEE THE TOXINS IN THE WATER

Many different colors and objects will appear in the water during Ion-Cleanse sessions. Based on years of cleansing and testing, and on correlations performed with a Biomeridian device, the creators of the Ion-Cleanse list the following toxins as possible reasons for the various colors the foot-bath water turns during the detoxification process:

Brown = detoxifying from the Liver, Tobacco, Cellular Debris (dead cells, etc.)
Green = detoxifying from Gallbladder
Yellow = detoxifying from the Urinary Tract, Bladder, Female/Prostate area
Orange = detoxifying from Joints
White Foam = mucous from Lymph
White Cheese-like Particles = Yeast
Black Flecks = Heavy Metals
Blue = detoxifying from Kidney
Red Flecks = Blood Clot Material

In addition to the above, the body can also eliminate parasites, pinworms, and various other colored mucous. Many have also experienced the removal of massive amounts of nicotine from the tissue and joints of people that quit smoking several years ago, and even from those that inhaled second hand smoke.

Healthy individuals can hope to feel lighter and experience a greater feeling of well being from each Ionic Foot Bath session. Some people with pain, edema, and swollen and deteriorating joints have reported symptomatic relief from the sessions.

Ion-Cleanse detoxification helps accelerate changes in the body, and may help reverse aging and many disease processes. Like any detoxification, the Ion-Cleanse is worth little if not coupled with a change in diet, good nutrition, and a healthy nervous system. It is an adjunct to care, assisting the body to heal from the inside-out most benefited with corrective chiropractic and whole body care.

A Personal Note:

I purchased the Ion-Cleanse in hopes to help family, friends, and patients more thoroughly detoxify and heal.  When beginning corrective chiropractic care on a patient, the most frustrating thing is to see is less than optimal results due to deeper issues some have regarding toxicities.  Impaired Detoxification is an entire chapter in my upcoming book and an increasingly more difficult issue to tackle in the world we live in.  We consume, are exposed to, inhale, and absorb more toxins than any of our ancestors and are getting cancers and diseases they never heard of while spending billions on medications that may do little more than contribute to the toxic overload.

What are we supposed to do about it?  As I’ve said dozens of times, ‘we can’t become gurus and move to some mountain top.’  However, there are some realistic solutions (or compromises) that may enable us to live in this world and avoid negative consequences the environment suffers us.

The Ion-Cleanse may be one aid to help us.  A few years ago I was at a professional seminar where they were demonstrating the Ion-Cleanse. I must say that I didn’t believe the technician until I saw what was coming out of peoples bodies, including my own – it was down-right disgusting. I soon purchased one and began treating myself, friends and patients with good results.

It is important to note that there is not yet much scientific data available on these machines. Although we have had good results in our office and have heard many good reports, this all falls under the category of anecdotal evidence. Perhaps the science will follow. To date the evidence points to the machines removing toxic metals and organic compounds. Also we have found that much of the color in the water when using the machine seems to come from the metals in the array reacting with the other metals as well as the water.

One last point: In our office I recommend that those doing Ion-Cleanse compliment it by using a dietary detoxification as well (as prescribed by one of our Doctors) and make sure you are on a balanced mineral supplement.  

Best Wishes,
