I have seen the ads for the detox foot cleansing pads that you wear at night and am considering trying them and wonder if anyone on this forum has already and what results they had. should I save my money ? Is this a scam?

Google "Detox foot pads hoax" and you'll get a bunch of different links to various news sites and doctors testing them to see if they really work. As far as I can tell, its a hoax.

I have used them and so has my mom. I do not think they are hoax. You just have to be careful on which ones to buy. I would not buy the ones at walgreens or avon. If you want to know the ones that i have used, you can pm me. Im not sure if i can say which ones on the forum.

I can't say anything about the foot pads one way or another,

But I will detox out of the bottom of my feet naturally sometimes. IT is gross. The bottoms of my feet will sweat. yucky. It happened the other day when I got car sick(a rare event). It happened a couple of months ago in the middle of the night when I felt sick with a headache and naseau.

So I think there is some truth behind the idea of trying to detox through the feet.

Yes they made lots of difference for me. I have more energy. My mom used the ones with grapefruit extract and she lost weight with hers. I wake up feeling really good when i use. I really dont think it is an hoax. There is so many things on the internet that say naturalistic things an hoax. I really just believe it is one thing u have to try and see how it works for you.

I do beleive that some compaines dont know what they are doing when they make things. But i feel the pads that i use are great. You can even send them to a lab and see what they are pulling from your body.

You all have to remember tho that i am arsenic toxic. I really feel they are pulling the arsenic from me. I dont do them every night, just when im highly toxic.

I know of several people who use detox foot pads...and yes, many of them do notice a difference. I agree with Paula that it does depend on the quality of the foot pads.

I have some....however, I have not started using them yet.

My acupuncturist says they work and no she doesn't sell them. She recommends the brand advertised on tv and sold at walgreens. One of these days I will get over there and pick some up.

Just a word of caution for those of us who have DH. I was looking into these things out of curiosity and noticed that one of the cautions on the box is that folks who are allergic to iodine should not use these. If you have DH make sure you pick them up locally so that you can read the ingredients and look at the warnings. A DH breakout on the bottoms of your feet is not a lot of fun.

People have been "healing" by soaking in different kinds of waters/baths for centuries. This isnt anything "new". Just a modern spin on it.

They only seem to be expensive if you get them done at a practitioners office.

I would say just try them at home and see what happens.....

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine. Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years. Doctor recently said to not stop. My 25(OH)D is around 2...

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
