Default Detox foot pads

Last night I tried out Kenrico detox foot pads, here is the pad after:


I know there is lots of controversy about such pads, the Kinoki pads for sure are a scam. But Kenrico is recommended by the Japanese Society of Preventive & Alternative Medicine.

They also have alot of research and peer review studies on their homepage. You are supposed to sleep better when wearing the pads and it sure felt that way, normally I need 10 hours of sleep or more, but wearing them I slept less than 8 and felt fantastic upon waking.

What do you think?

Read article some time ago that these pads contain lots of small iron particles. This iron when in contact with sweating feet (salt) produces rust thus the color change you see.

To test this, place new pad in some salty water over night and note how many "toxins" it pulls out the the salty water.

I tried a couple of different brands a long time ago. Got the same pad results when I used filtered water on them. I wanted them to work, but I think any benefits are mental, not physical.

One thing I tried yrs ago were ear candles then I read about ths scam. Place one in a soda pop bottle or other glass bottl eand burn it down. Open the end up: tons of wax which they make you think is ear wax.
