  • Dear Mr DolceVita1, I watched all 6 parts and I read some of the comments and your responses. I think the best part of the video was your monologue/commentary. I had this procedure done today and I went in knowing it was a scam, but I must admit that I DO feel differently. I know the rust is pure nonsense, BUT there must be some sort of effect of the electro treatment bcz non-believer that I am, have felt some posiitve effects.

    Thank you very much for your informative vid series.

  • Tonya...thanks for watching and exploring. Most folks just believe what they are told and go on with life. About your foot bath...I too feel better after having soaked my feet in a warm tub of water for a half hour, I am not discounting that fact, however, you are not removing toxins as these hucksters claim. The placebo effect of this is very powerful, and that's a great thing. just don't rely on it for your health, healthful living produces health. thanks again.

  • Mr DolceVita1, Thank you for your prompt response.

    First let me say that I hope that you will SAVE some people lots of money.

    I used this at a friends house and IMMEDIATELY saw the brown stuff coming out of the sphere. Looked like rust to me. I KNEW it was a hoax. But afterwards I had extreme thirst, cold-like symptoms and slept for 12hrs. Thats MORE than just a warm foot soak.

    Do you think its possible this electro-treatment has SOME sort of benefit? Im interested in your response

  • Tonya...

    I can't speak directly to your situation, but just a few thoughts.

    yes, we are an electrical (energy) being, does passing a small amperage current thru us have a benefit? I don't know and that's not really the impetus for these videos. I would tread lightly around something that made me thirsty, fatigued and cold-like. the body can't be forced into detox. If I blow smoke into your face and you cough,gag and sneeze and eyes water, nose run. The question you have to ask is (cont)

  • you are so correct...any attempt to detox the body by external methods is bunk. The body cannot be stimulated or irritated into health. Health is only produced by healthful living.

    ALL modern day detox programs work essentially like this. I blow smoke into your face and it causes you to cough. In the coughing some phlegm happens to come up. Now the question is, did I detox your lungs? Or did I just irritate the heck out of them. Your BODY removed the smoke (herb, potion, lazative, etc.)

  • the stuff in the water is iron oxide, caused by the corrosion of the metal array in the unit, you can see the "rust" coming off of the wire in the earlier videos...but the real issue is that there is nothing coming from the carrot, or your feet, or whatever you put into the bath to conduct a current

  • You are supposed to put a few grains of sea salt in - how would that change the chemistry?

  • @Nguli34689 obviously you are not educated on how/what the lymphatic system is/works...it is basically your body's sewer system and runs alongside all of your blood circulatory system - yes, believe it or not, you do have lymphatic system running through your feet too (!), therefore all toxins trying to be eliminated by your body will be pulled and you will see evidence on the water. I explained to you why you were feeling ill afterwards.

  • @m3sca1 i just checked,and they are stainless steel electrodes-so that reddish brown stuff that sinks to the bottom IS hexavalent chromium.

    Look it up -highly toxic-wouldnt put my feet in there!

  • If the electrodes are stainless steel then highly toxic hexavalent chromium will be leaching from them.This is well known in circles of folks who make hydroxy gas (HHO).So it follows that white stuff is hydrogen and oxygen,if you ignite those bubbles coming from the array,it will go bang.Also if tap water is used,the impurities in the water will precipitate out as metal ions bond to them.If you run distilled water the results will be much less color,proving that toxins are not coming from feet

  • I used the food pads. When I woke up there was glue like brown gunk on my feet. I'm looking into purchasing one of these machines, but now I'm skeptical. Does anyone know if taking Charcoal suppliments would help detox heavy metals?

  • I tried one of these a few months ago (skeptically) and also felt thirsty, tired and slept for hours afterwards. Now that I've seen this video, I realized the tiredness, thirst, etc was the result of being mildly electrocuted for 30 minutes.

  • I saw the detox foot pads on tv and went online to research them. The foot pads actually contain what is necessary to turn them brown. You can pour a little water on them and get the same result as wearing them. Ear candling is also a popular scam where the candle itself contains the "impurities". A Scientologist once told me they undress, then wrap themselves in a special towel. They go into a steam room and the towel turns a different color depending on their problem. Thank you for your humor.

  • Great vids!

    It's funny how popular these devices are. Electrolysis is a chemical process - the water temp, composition, plastic tub liner, your skin, your skin funk, soap, lint, lotion etc will all have an effect and make different colors. It's not magic, nor is it stuff leaving the body. If our skin were that permeable, we'd fall apart when we jumped in the ocean!

    I think people should be concerned about the negative effects from running a sustained mild current through the body for 30 mins.

  • I did this in science class when i was 12.

    Stay in school
