The Theory Behind The Ion Cleanse

A water molecule (H2O) is composed of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. When the molecule loses one of its Hydrogen atoms, the remaining OH molecule takes on a negative charge. This is known as ionization. This process occurs naturally at the beach as trillions of water molecules crash into the shore.

Due to poor diet and stress, the body tends to accumulate and store excessive amounts of acidic waste products such as: Lactic, Pyruvic, Uric, Carbonic, Acetic, Butyric, and Hepatic Acids. As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions. This draws out the excess positively charged ions, which alkalizes the blood and tissue. As you may recall from Grade School science class, opposites attract returning your body to the ideal acid/alkaline balance. Which could partly explain why you feel so good walking along the beach.

According to Dr. Theodore Baroody, the author of Alkalize or Die, acid wastes attack joints, tissues, muscles, organs and glands causing dysfunction.

The ionic spa intends to recreate that same environment as the walk along the beach. Only it does it more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being created in the water.

An array is placed in the water and a small direct current, not noticeable to the person being treated, is delivered to the array. This current combines with the water to generate millions of ions that the body uses to neutralize the acid wastes built up in the tissues. These may then possibly be excreted through the skin of the feet into the water. Some independent anecdotal studies have also revealed the presence of toxic heavy metals in the water after the 20-30 min session.

The ion cleanse basically assists the natural detoxification functions of the body when these are in a dysfunctional state and contributing to physical illness.

BENEFITS OF THE IONIC DETOX

While the person’s feet are immersed in the ionic spa, a series of timed positive and negative ions are emitted, invigorating, re-conditioning, and synchronizing their body’s natural ionic flow. The result is that a patient’s body can detox safely and at its own pace by mobilizing residues and waste stored within the body. This detoxification happens mainly after the treatment and is likely to take place via the organs of detoxification, i.e. the kidneys, liver and skin. Short treatments of 20-30 minutes approximately 2-3 times per week for 14 sessions have generated the best results in trials.

People will be amazed and curious as the water changes from clear to darker shades. There are many reasons why the water changes color. When the system is activated it creates an electrolytic flow within the water and substances that are present in the water such as salt, chlorine, magnesium, copper and detergents among others will influence the color change. Also anything present on the skin such as lotions, bacteria, dead skin cells, and fungal infections will also influence the color change. That is why the color change can vary from person to person and from treatment to treatment. Some of the many benefits that may be experienced are: feeling lighter, thinking more clearly, more energy, greater feeling of well being, heavy metal, chemical and toxin elimination, increased metabolism, reactivation of the body’s fat burning mechanism leading to possible weight reduction, relief from discomfort of sore aching joints, arthritis and bursitis, and gaining a more youthful appearance.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This system does not claim to cure or treat any disease. It assists your body to rebalance its bio-energy fields and stimulates the body for self-detoxification.
