Some of you may already know about these foot pads for detoxification. I found it interesting what they found after testing the pads in a lab for toxins!
BODY PURE FOOT PADS
Detoxify while you sleep!
BodyPure is a potent foot 'pad' designed to absorb toxins from your body. Developed from years of medical research in Japan, this natural health care product is effective in cleansing from the inside out.
BodyPure is the number one selling product in Japan in its class 12 years in a row!
The Japanese have been using this product to:
Combat fatigue, improve circulation, increase metabolism, enhance quality of sleep, absorption of body toxins and as a general practice to stay healthy and clean.
Our BodyPure pads are effective, made of 100% natural ingredients and easy to apply.
*How does BodyPure work?*
The ingredients in BodyPure use their natural power of absorption to "draw out" the toxins that are utilizing the existing channels of our body.
"This product is wonderful, I will enthusiastically recommend it to all of my patients." - Dr. Elizabeth Huntley, Precise Nutritional Care
"After 12 years of research, I was thrilled to find an inexpensive, effective detoxification agent. I highly recommend BodyPure." - Dr. Vinograd DDS, NMD, Member of the Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF TOXICITY:
Headaches
Joint Pains
Coughs
Sore Throat
Tight or Stiff Neck
Circulatory Deficits
High Blood Fats
Backaches
Constipation
Frequent Colds
Immune Weakness
Sinus Congestion
Fever
Runny Nose
Nervousness
Sleepiness
Insomnia
Dizziness
Mood Changes
Anxiety
Depression
Fatigue
Skin Rashes
Nausea
Indigestion
Anorexia
Bad Breath
Multiple samples of pads were sent to SCR Analytical Lab, an accredited Environmental Laboratory. The results demonstrated absorption into the patch of Nickel, Arsenic and Mercury amongst other toxins.
Also found were: benzene, isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, aluminum, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, thallium, arsenic, asbestos, DAB dye, fast green dye, sudan black dye and PCB (plastic byproduct).
DIRECTIONS:
1- Take out BodyPure adhesive foot pad
2 - Remove the bigger portion of the cover on the foot pad
3 - Place BodyPure in the middle of the adhesive plaster. Remove the rest of the cover on the adhesive plaster.
4 - Place BodyPure on the bottom of your foot before bed time. (Your foot should be clean and dry). For best results, remove after 8-10 hours.
Sally, I think some of us tried these a couple of years ago and saw little to no value in them. Maybe American's feet are too big for them to work right!

I seem to recall reading somewhere that one of the �magic� ingredients in these foot pads was iron. Thus the change in color was from the sweat from your feet causing the iron to �rust�.
This was tested by lightly sprinkling some water on a pad and letting sit overnight on a table and sure enough by morning it showed that it had detoxified the table top.

I put some filtered water on one of my BodyPure pads, and it started to turn brown almost immediately, also had the same odor as when used on my feet
And who did the study? any links to it? or is it just a company claim?

And this, from The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine: Study in the Effectiveness of Detoxification Foot Patches
Published in The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Volume 20 Fourth Quarter, 2005 Number 4.
Abstract:
A small study of commercially available Detoxification Foot Patches was undertaken to determine if there is evidence of heavy metal detoxification after using the foot patches as instructed by the manufacturer.
Three foot patches were used in the experiment:
an unused “virgin” foot patch as a control, one that was used by Patient A who’s mineral status showed no heavy metal poisoning, and another used by Patient B, who’s mineral status showed contamination with several heavy metals.
Patient A’s and B’s mineral status was determined by Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis [HTMA] testing at Anamol Laboratories in Concorde, Ontario. Anamol Laboratories also did the mineral analysis of the foot patches.
Mineral analysis of these foot patches ascertained there was no evidence of any detoxification of heavy metals. More importantly, the experiment revealed the control foot patch contained toxic levels of six heavy metals. For this reason, employing them as a therapeutic method of detoxification may contribute to toxic exposures of heavy metals they are purposed to be detoxifying.
Arrowwind is quite right about iodine as a chelator. Much clinical study has been done with this in mind. Here are excerpts from an article from Mark Sircus Ac., OMD. Please see the article for the references. Also the article has so much more info.
Quote:
Heavy metals poison us by disrupting our cellular enzymes, which run on nutritional minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and selenium. Toxic metals kick out the nutrients and bind their receptor sites, causing diffuse symptoms by affecting nerves, hormones, digestion, and immune function. The heavy metals most often implicated in human poisoning are lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium but uranium is playing catch up since depleted uranium became the favorite armament of the United States military. Once in the body, they compete with and displace essential minerals such as iodine, zinc, copper, magnesium, and calcium, and interfere with organ system function.
No where is this process more evident than in the case of the halides, which are all antagonistic elements to iodine, meaning they will impede the absorption of iodine. Heavy metals get stored in the same receptors that are looking for iodine. Almost all of us are exposed to bromine and fluorine and are storing these toxic halides in our iodine deficient receptors. The mechanism of iodine in the cells is very ancient and lacking of specificity, in fact, cells are not able to distinguish iodide from other anions of similar atomic or molecular size, which may act as �pseudo-iodides�: bromide, flouride, chlorine, thiocyanate, cyanate, nitrate, pertechnate, perchlorate.
In the 1960s iodine added to bread increased the average daily intake 4-5 times RDA levels.
Then they took the iodine out of the bread and some medical idiot substituted bromide, a bio-poison in its place. There are actually four halogens: iodine, bromine, fluorine and chlorine. All these halogens use the same receptors in the body. Therefore if a person�s diet is deficient in iodine the iodine receptors in the thyroid and stomach, for example, may fill up with bromine which is common in grains, bleached flour, sodas, nuts and oils as well as several plant foods. Iodine is depleted by bromine, which is used as a spray on fruits and vegetables, in baked goods, as a fumigant, and in Prozac, Paxil and many other pharmaceutical drugs. Chlorine, fluorine, and fluoride are chemically related to iodine, and compete with it, blocking iodine receptors in the thyroid gland.
Iodine intake immediately increases the excretion of bromide, fluoride, and some heavy metals including mercury and lead. Bromide and fluoride are not removed by any other chelator or detoxifying technique.
Dr. Abraham noted that in some patients the excretion of lead, cadmium and mercury increased several fold after only one day of iodine supplementation and that increased aluminum excretion was noted about a month after beginning supplementation. Orthoiodosupplementation induces a detoxification reaction in some patients with high bromide levels. The symptoms include increased body odor and cloudy urine. The body odor lasts one to two weeks, but the cloudy urine may last several months before clearing up. Side effects can be minimized by increasing fluid intake. Increased fluid facilitates the excretion of excess iodine and the bromides, fluorides and heavy metals that the iodine displaces. Dr. Abraham also reported that the administration of magnesium in daily amounts up to 1200 mg eliminated the body odor but not the cloudy urine.
Dr. Brownstein indicates that iodine is also a chelator of mercury and had tested quite carefully the amounts removed.
Several mechanisms are utilized to remove mercury from the body. In order for these detoxification mechanisms to work properly, numerous essential minerals like Iodine, Zinc, Sulfur, Selenium, and Silica stimulate the excretion of mercury.
Mineral replacement therapy (nutritional support) is essential when doing any form of chelation. In fact it is not clinically correct at all to separate chelation from minerals like they are different processes. Trace mineral therapy is important because minerals compete with toxic metals for binding sites. In other words, when ones body is properly mineralized, the absorption and toxicity of heavy metals is greatly reduced. Our bodies should be as strong and healthy as possible before the chelation process should be attempted and minerals top the list not only because they make us stronger, but because they start the chelation process before an �official� chleator is even used. (many people start chelation because they are NOT strong and healthy to begin with.)
