fromfreotochiangmai Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Let me get this right? you stick a patch on your foot and it somehow detoxifies you? I thought that's what the liver was for, not feet. How does it work? osmosis/ selective absorption/ electroosmosis/suction? fascinating!!!! a breakthrough in scientific medicine. Please let me know how it works and what references you have References Think about this for a sec and keep an open mind. Have you ever had foot odour? Have you ever heard of the traditional chinese medicine notion of reflexology? Have you ever put something on the surface of your skin to draw out liquid underneath it? (think blisters, excess fluid drainage - by osmosis) Have you heard of the lymphatic system and the idea of lymphatic drainage? Have you ever fasted or done any kind of detox program and noticed bad smells coming from your skin, mouth, urine, faeces? It's not a completely iilogical/irrational/untenable hypothesis that a patch with with certain herbs (think chemicals) could have the effect of producing something like lymphatic drainage through the soles of the feet (and other places) "How" it exactly works, if it does, I don't know. While I don't claim to have seen any 'evidence' (ie. in respected, peer-reviewed journals), I have used them a number of times and have tested them in various ways. They consistently remove something from my body, and it appears to be not just sweat. I've tested this by puttng it on a place on my body overnight that is not a recommended spot. And when I do I get no drainage and the patch will be dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So put that in your pipe and smoke it ! I no longer smoke a pipe. Can you have an extra pipe full for me? Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 This has been so well tested and shown to be a useless scam that to still believe it can "detox' (?) is laughable wooism. There is no real science invloved other than the obvious trick of dried powdered wood vinager and stinky herbs being rehydrated by persperation and turning the pad brown. This has been around for years, but now they are "new and improved". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
