Start Detoxifying with Ion Cleanse: Foot Detoxification

Our modern environment exposes us to toxins everyday through food, water, and air. “More than 80,000 harmful chemicals, in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, synthetic additives, and environmental pollutants, assault your body every day.” (Ann Louise Gittleman-The Fast Track Detox Diet).  Periodically cleansing these pollutants from the body helps you maintain high energy levels and avoid disease.  Without routine detoxification small problems can develop into larger ones as toxins backup into vital organs such as the kidneys or colon.  The body is better able to heal and repair itself when it is free of toxins.

Foot detoxification is one of several approaches used in removing toxins from the body.  The foot cleanse system works with positive and negative ions to draw out impurities.  The movement of water from the basin into your feet and up into the body is supported by a chemical force known as osmotic pressure.  This simple technique allows for a safe and non-invasive way to detoxify.

I am recommending foot detox for all of my patients unless they have a condition that forbids it.  Patients who have slow digestion, fatigue, or suffer from swelling of the extremities may want to consider starting this therapy as soon as possible. I also recommend patients take Jade Chlorella (5 caps/day or 10 tablets/day).  Jade Chlorella is a great product that binds toxins and secretes them through the liver.  This is a good lifetime product that can be used to help counteract our daily exposure to environmental toxins.  These two methods used together form a safe and effective way to build and maintain health.     

It is not necessary to see me to get started with foot detox.  If you are interested, my staff will walk you through scheduling your first appointment.  A foot detox treatment is typically 30 minutes long.  Some patients schedule sessions before or after seeing me to take full advantage of the time they are here.  Please contact my staff at 314-997-5403 if you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
