RID YOURSELF OF TOXINS!

Because of our poor diets, high stress, disease and frailty, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products. Since ancient times people have bathed in natural springs and reported experiencing healing benefits for many ailments. Resorts and health spas around the world maintain their popularity because bathing in springs — hot, cold or mineral — has undisputed therapeutic effects, including: improved circulation, increased relaxation and, as a result, relief from symptomatic or chronic pain. The ionic cleanse foot spa ionizes water to detoxify the body and recreate the therapeutic experience found naturally in the world's most reputed spas.

"Recall the way your body felt the last time you stood next to a waterfall or walked along a beach with the waves breaking at your feet. You breathed deeper into your lungs and abdomen; your brain cleared and the pains in your joints subsided. You felt relaxed and at peace with the world. These invigorating reactions were caused by the ionization of trillions of water molecules as they crashed to earth."

The ionic cleanse footspa creates an ion charged environment similar to a walk along the beach, only more powerful, because your feet are immersed in the ions being generated in the footspa. Neutralized particles and waste material are pulled out of your body via osmosis. The powerful, natural forces at work in the ionic cleanse footspa are extremely gentle on your system and can be used with confidence and in conjunction with most health regimens. Ask your health care provider how essential body detoxification is in fighting sickness and disease. A growing number of clinicians believe it is a core element of total body health.


The Ionic Cleanse Foot Spa Session

The combination of electrolysis in the array, ionization of the water, and the flood of pollution and toxins purged from your body, are evident just minutes into an ionic cleanse foot spa session.

WHY DETOXIFY? Is Disease Caused by Toxins?

"When you take a closer look, all diseases have critical components of environmental toxins and nutritional deficiencies both of which are completely reversible"

Detoxify or Die - Sherry A. Rogers, M.D.

We live in a society fraught with pollutants and toxins — natural and synthetic. They exist in our air, water, food, clothing and the environments in which we live, work, play and sleep. Cigarettes, alcohol, and caffeine are also major sources of toxins. As a by-product of busy lifestyles and the increasing pollution in the environment, our bodies are encountering and storing unwanted toxins on a daily basis. Tissue acid wastes, chemicals, and heavy metal residues now build up in our body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies, and mental and physical incapacitation. Pimples, rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, yellow, green and blotched complexions often indicate a build-up of tissue acid wastes inside the body. Our bodies are depleted of crucial life-giving elements, leaving us to feel drained of energy or unable to heal naturally from illness, injury or medical procedures.

With the increase in the number of chemicals introduced in the last fifty years, there has been a dramatic increase in incidences of auto-immune disease, allergies and common infections. There is no coincidence in this increase. There are tens of thousands of chemicals in use today and more than a forth of these are known to be toxic; moreover, nothing is known about their interactive effects. Tests on body fat shows residue of hundreds of chemicals. Metals, such as mercury, cadmium, and antimony are everywhere and impossible to avoid. Lead, for example, can block red blood cell formation. Chemicals can act as toxins that can block receptor sites on cells; cause changes in calcium homeostasis; selectively kill cells; and alter expression of gene products. Metals and chemical toxins weaken the immune system and cause increased vulnerability to viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. In an attempt to detoxify these substances, our bowels, kidneys, liver, and immune system are being overloaded. Our eliminative channels have become blocked or dysfunctional because in conjunction with the synthetic chemical toxins in our environment, the western diet is so acid forming and de-vitalized of necessary nutrients.

To relieve the strains on our detoxifying organs, particularly the kidneys, liver, intestines, and immune system, it is more important than ever to maintain a detoxification regimen. The ionic detox footspa is designed to relieve these strains and detoxify the body through the skin, the largest organ in the human body. Dietary modification and detoxification have been shown to substantially reduce and even eliminate the conditions discussed above.

How the Ionic Detox and Cleanse Foot Spa Works

An ion is a charged atom or molecule that has gained or lost an electron, thus creating an electro-magnetic field capable of neutralizing oppositely-charged particles such as toxins found in the human body. The negative ions produced by the ionic detox footspa create a gentle vibration that aids the release of unwanted toxin particles through the pores on the sole of the foot. There are over 2,000 pores on each foot! ion producing technology has been around for several decades, but the secret to its successful use in body detoxification is the production of positive and negative ions in the same treatment.

The control head of the ionic detox footspa unit delivers an electrical current through the ionizer array that is placed into the water alongside the feet. The low-level direct current to the array causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating the oxygen and hydrogen components of water. The ionic detox foot spa hydrotherapy detox/cleanse system allows the negative ions to travel through the body and attach themselves to toxic substances with the opposite charge. Since most toxins in our body are positive in charge, (i.e. heavy metals ions), they will be conveniently neutralized and drawn out by the negative ions produced by the ionic detox foot spa . Toxin particles are pulled through the skin and out of the body via osmosis and neutralized because they are attracted by the highly-concentrated ion field in the ionic detoxification footspa water.

When the ionic detoxification footspa is set, the negative ions being produced in the water raises the user's pH to a more alkaline state. This is significant because the vast majority of people in the United States live in an acid state — their bodies contain an excess of hydrogen ions and their pH is lower than 7.45. Such persons greatly benefit from exposure to high concentrations of negative charged ions, bringing their bodies back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state. This is very significant, because when your body is alkaline, the cells causing many diseases, such as cancer cannot grow!

Ionic Foot Spa Detoxification & Cleanse Effect

The ionic detoxification foot spa helps the body release the incredible power of our immune system!

Every day our immune system defends us from pollution and foreign invaders, including our own cells when they mutate into cancer causing cells. Did you know that only your immune system can repair, heal, and cure you of illness and disease? Look in any medical textbook or ask any doctor and they will tell you that any illness that goes away as a result of a prescribed course of treatment or procedures is also destined to return when the treatment does not include paying attention to the important role of the immune system. If a patient is not taught to acknowledge the importance of changing their lifestyle to better support their immune system, as part of their long term recovery plan, the old disease or some other new one is almost always certain to re-manifest.

After each ionic detoxification foot spa session, it is common for users to to feel an immediate relief from disease and illness symptoms. However, even though you may feel this relief, it is important to note that ionic detoxification footspa treatment sessions do not heal nor cure any diseases or conditions. The role of the ionic detoxification footspa system should be viewed as that of a relaxing alternative therapy for helping the body to reduce unwanted toxins on it's own; it is only an aid in the healing process carried out by your own immune system. According to the theory of Nutritional Immunology, only your immune system can heal your body and cure you of your illness and disease. So a relaxing ionic detoxification foot spa is only a valuable way of assisting the body to detoxify and cleanse its organs and tissues on it's own. This detoxification and cleansing process carried out by your own body, miraculously aids in the healing process carried out by our immune system.

The theory of Nutritional Immunology gets a lot of credibility from the simple fact that every natural method for regaining health consistently includes some sort of special routine or nutritional diet for cleansing, nourishing, and balancing the immune system and it's supporting organs of detoxification. The theory of Nutritional Immunology simple states that for the immune system to function at optimum levels, it must be given special nutrition, and that we must modify our lifestyle in a way that is known to support the immune system's function. For example, we must strive to reduce our exposure to environmental toxins. This is done by mainly consuming pesticide-free organically grown wholesome plant food without toxins in the form of chemicals and preservatives (not an easy task!). We must also learn to reduce and manage our stress levels; as well as make sure we are getting proper sleep and rest.

We must recognize and take into account that all the organs of our body are not separate, but interrelated and connected; and so before the optimum function of the immune system can be restored, each organ of the body associated with supporting the immune system must be restored to health also. These supporting organs; the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and skin, for example, aid the immune system by either processing and removing toxic waste; acting as a barrier to protect the body; or simply ensuring the absorption of necessary nutrients from foods we eat. In conclusion, when the immune system is unhealthy, it is either because the organs that supports the immune system are sick (due to toxicity), or because the immune system and its supporting organs are malnourished as a result of years of not getting the vital nutrients required for its function!

By now we hope you have noticed the recurring theme: when any system in the body is sick, it is usually because of toxin build-up in the tissues or organs. One way toxin build-up can happen is acutely; because we are suddenly bombarded by so much toxins that our detoxifying system is unable to remove them fast enough without extra help from us (i.e. by changing our lifestyle and engaging in detoxification treatment to support the immune systems). Shockingly, toxic build-up is usually chronic (gradual); that's right... the number one reason for toxin build-up in our bodies is because we not helping the immune system do it's job for years. Since the number one factor for immune system health is nutrition, it is due to years of malnutrition. However, malnutrition here doesn't mean we are not eating enough food in quantity; it simply means that for years, we were not providing our body with all the right types of food nutrition, in the proper form the immune system and it's supporting organs need on a daily basis. This last point illustrates how important it is to provide our immune system and its supporting organs with all the vital nutrition they need on a daily basis. To learn more about restoring the function of your immune system through proper nutrition, visit us at our websites: www.nutritionimmunology.com or www.vitalhealingsteps.com.

Let's get back to importance of supporting our immune system. When we are healthy, we must support our immune system so that it can continue to keep us healthy as a preventative measure. And since only the immune system can heal, when we are sick, we must support our immune system so that it can heal us. It all sounds so simple, but it becomes quite complicated if the immune system itself is unhealthy. An unhealthy immune system cannot properly perform its defending and healing function. When the immune system is unhealthy, it gets rather complicated because it is, unfortunately, not an easy task to bring the immune system back to health. As we have already established, the problem lies in the fact that all the systems of the body are interconnected; in order to restore the immune system function, we must also restore the function of all its supporting organs. This is a rather slow process. Isn't it scary that this the situation inside the body of a sick individual fighting a serious illness or disease. It is ironic that so many people don't even realize how serious the situation is when it is a weak immune system that is trying to nurse them back to health. A very sick individual's immune system is already under so much stress that at any time their health could take a turn for the worse if they don't quickly find ways to support their immune function.

One way to indirectly support our immune system's health and function is to simply detoxify all the other organs in the body, especially the organs that are most related to supporting the immune function (i.e. circulatory system, kidney, liver, intestines, colon, etc.). By simply helping to detoxify these supporting organs, we are not only lessening the strain on the organs and immune system, but we are also dramatically increasing the immune system's function. This is because of the fact that when these supporting organs become somewhat less toxic, they will thus be better able to carry out their supporting role of the immune system more efficiently. As these supporting organs of the immune system become more nourished and detoxified, the faster and better they are able to carry out their task; thus the faster and better the immune system can can carry out its healing and defending task!

How to help and support the immune system:

We have already established that the immune system is overworked and stressed, and that this is because we are malnourished and taking in too many toxins into our bodies. Therefore the simplest way to help our immune system is to cut down on the amount of toxins we are consuming and/or are exposed to on a daily basis. People who are sick need to be especially diligent about this. The next way to support our immune system is through proper nutrition; we need to learn which foods will support our immune function and its supporting detoxifying organs. The very sick need to understand these points because it may mean life or death. Though nutrition is the number one factor, there are other ways of supporting the immune system, some are obvious and some not so obvious; for example, reducing one's stress level, getting regular exercise, sleep, and rest. Now let us take a look at the role of ionic detoxification foot spas in supporting the immune system.

An ion detox cleanse footspa is an external hydrotherapy aid that can be used with a herbal detox protocol and dietary modification to helps your body detoxify (on its own) every organ, tissue, and cell in our body directly and indirectly by re-energizing the natural waste elimination and detoxification function of the immune system and it's supporting organs.

How the Ionic Foot Spa helps the Immune System

To understand the importance of using ion detox cleanse footspas, let us keep in mind that most illnesses and disease happen because of toxin accumulation and build-up in our organs and tissues. Accumulation happens as a result of the immune system and it's supporting organs being backed up, (unable to remove toxins fast enough from the body compared to the rate of intake). Furthermore, the immune system and it's supporting organs become backed up as a result of either of an acute over-exposure to toxins or because of a chronic (gradual) toxin build-up due to years of being malnourished (not getting all the vital nutrients necessary for proper function). This is why all natural and herbal health protocols are promoting that we eat foods that the immune system needs on a daily basis. Furthermore, all natural health protocols, state that we should reduce our intake and exposure to (more) toxins. Finally, reducing the amount of toxins already in our body by using either external or internal detoxifying agents is the ultimate and most significant part of most Detoxification/Cleanse protocols for restoring health. In conclusion, the goal of most healing and health recovery program is Detoxification and Cleansing (and to continually remove toxins faster from the body faster than the rate of intake). This is the only way our immune system and the supporting organs can keep up in this toxic world. The ion detox cleanse foot spa is an example of an external aid for body's own self detoxification and Cleanse system.

When we are following any Detoxification & Cleanse program or treatment, the mechanisms by which our body heals can be viewed as a positive feed back loop involving the immune system and its supporting organs. This mechanism is as follows: as more toxins get removed from the poisoned organ and tissues (aided by the Detoxification/Cleanse method), these organs are better able to carry out their own detoxification and cleanse function and support the immune system better; thus the immune system is able to repair its supporting organs faster and faster. As the supporting organs are repaired faster and faster, they will be able to support the immune system better and better until it is finally working at the optimum level. Now functioning properly, the immune system, the greatest Doctor in the world, can now keep up in its vital task of defending, repairing, and healing our body and mind (assuming we continue to give it proper nutrition).

Sadly, today, even after our body has healed itself from a battle with an illness, the war is not over. We are living in a toxic world and eating foods that are so toxic and stripped of vital nutrients not only because of high speed processing techniques that uses high temperatures and chemical additives, but also because of the mass growing and harvesting techniques used in modern farming and agriculture. These techniques all focus on quantity and profit rather than on quality, therefore, we have no choice but to continue to help our body detoxify. We must continue to monitor what we eat in order to reduce our intake of toxins while also insuring that we are getting the essential nutrients necessary for cleansing, nourishing and balancing our immune system and body.

Ion detox cleanse foot spa neutralize toxins that diffuse from the body and wash away in the spa water from every organ, tissue, and cell in our body; thus the ion detox cleanse footspa helps the immune system and its supporting organs aiding to dramatically reduce their detoxification and cleanse workload that they would have to otherwise carry out on their own. All this gives the immune system more time and more resources for it's important job of tissue repair, and fighting diseases. Over time, as each type of tissue or organ is detoxified within our body, we are going to notice a significant change in the way we feel. This feeling, called the healing reaction (or cleansing effect), is often a positive feeling. However the feeling can also be a temporary uncomfortable feeling until our body has adapted to having so much less toxins. Imagine that... our tissues and organs inside our bodies are so use to living in a highly toxic environment that we actually have to get used to having less toxins in our body!

When an ion detox cleanse footspa is used to externally aid in the elimination of toxins from our body, in conjunction with an effective Herbal or Dietary Health protocol, the whole body and the immune system is consequently re-energized. Only then is the immune system able to do it's full job repairing, healing, preventing, and curing virtually all diseases!

New scientific research suggests that all types of illnesses and diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, etc., can be prevented through proper nourishment and care of the immune system, and that a persons overall health and wellness can be greatly improved! Ion detox cleanse foot spa sessions along with an effective dietary modification, not only, promotes a sense of well being, it is a revolutionary way to re-balance, re-energize and detoxify the body and this promotes healing by the immune system.

The ion detox cleanse foot spa and dietary modification re-stabilizes the cells of the body so that normal physiological functions run at optimal levels, particularly the uptake of necessary nutrients and the elimination of unwanted waste products. These benefits dramatically help to restore the immune system to normal functioning, not only, by reducing the stress on it, but also by helping the body to better absorb the necessary nutrients we need to eat in order to restore its functions!
