A study in last year’s British Medical Journal estimated that perhaps 75 percent of most cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors, including exposure to chemicals. Another report, this one by the Columbia University School of Public Health, estimated that 95 percent of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity.  This is really not surprising when you consider that estimates show most Americans have somewhere between 400 and 800 chemicals stored in their bodies, typically in fat cells.  Body fat has been tested that contains residue of hundreds of chemicals. Metals, such as mercury, cadmium, an antimony are everywhere and impossible to avoid. Lead 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 virus, bacterial fungal and parasitic infections. In an attempt to detoxify these substances, our bowels, kidneys and liver are being overloaded. Our eliminative channels have become blocked or dysfunctional, because, in conjunction with these synthetic chemicals, the western diet is so acid forming and de-vitalized. To relieve the strains on the kidneys and liver it is more important than ever to maintain a detoxification regimen. The ION SPA is designed to relieve these strains and detoxify the body through the skin, the largest organ in the human body.

Why Detoxify the Body

Tissue acid wastes, chemical and heavy metal residues build up in the body and result in a greater incidence of allergies and disease. Today we are exposed to the greatest toxic load in the history of our planet and detoxification is essential to maintain health.  Most people should immediately experience an increased sense of well being and more energy, greater mental clarity and feel lighter and many find relief from pain, edema, gout and swelling. Sessions help to alkalize the body and create the same environment like when you walk along the beach when your feet are in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the water. During a footbath, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize the tissue acid wastes and help to remove particles, mucous and toxins.

 

How does an Ionic Footbath work?
The footbath works to dramatically remove toxins from your body through your foot. The foot spa accomplishes this by energizing the water. The control head delivers enough of an electrical current through the ionizor to generate positively charged ions.  The Detox Footbath passes direct electrical current through water to break apart the H2O (water) molecule. This releases oxygen, stable hydrogen and the negative hydrogen ion (H-). This negative hydrogen ion is a powerful antioxidant and pro-oxidant (in the presence of transitional metals), pH balancer and the catalyst most responsible for ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) production, our body’s greatest energy resource. In the past, we received the negative hydrogen we needed through the consumption of raw vegetables and light proteins but modern processing, storage and handling has virtually stripped the modern diet of this increasingly vital element. Gentle and relaxing detox sessions allow the body to uptake this “fuel of life”, which is essential in balancing and reenergizing the body’s natural ability to purge toxins and heal itself.  As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions, which alkalize the blood and tissue. Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products, such as diacetic, lactic, pyruvic, uric, carbonic, acetic, butyric, and hepatic acids.

When the footbath is set, positive ions are being produced in the water, which raises the user's pH to a more alkaline state. Why is this significant? The vast majority of people in the United States live in an acid state — their bodies contain an excess of hydrogen ions and their blood pH is lower than 7.45. Such persons greatly benefit from exposure to high concentrations of positively charged ions, bringing their bodies back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state. Total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.

**An ion (as found in the ion foot bath is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron, thus creating a magnetic field capable of neutralizing oppositely-charged particles (in the case of the footbath, toxins in the human body).

Toxins are Neutralized with Alkaline Ionized Water

Our bodies need water to eliminate or buffer acidic conditions caused by the normal aging process as well as a poor diet, stress, physical activity and environmental toxins. The ionization process concentrates available alkaline minerals in the source water to aid the buffering systems in the body.

Toxins (free radicals) in the body, break down the cells, making them susceptible to disease. More effective than any other antioxidant, alkaline ionized water readily donates its abundant electrons to neutralize excessive free radicals so they do not cause damage by stealing electrons from healthy living cells.

There are benefits in Smaller Water!

Through ionization, large tap water clusters are reduced from their original size. The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good permeability which enables ionized water to penetrate deep into tissues of the body.  Microwater closely replicates the "living" qualities of high altitude mountain spring water. It's fresh, delicious, life enhancing water produced right at your own faucet!

Alkaline Ionized Water is backed by Solid Scientific Evidence

"We are advancing the theory that the most effective and economical source for an antioxidant is ordinary tap water after it is filtered and treated with electrolysis. This electrolyzed water, called Microwater, is one of the most exciting developments of preventative medicine in Japan in recent years." - Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Director, Water Institute of Japan

Why Are Negative Ions So Healthy?
 

Philipp E.A. vonLenard, Nobel Prize winning physicist, lecturer and author of “The Electricity of Waterfalls” (1915) found that when water is atomized (e.g. on impact of a water droplet), negative and positive charges are separated. Molecules which are torn from the surface of the water bear a negative charge (small negative ions) whereas large drops or the entire mass of water are positive. This provided an unexpected explanation for the refreshing, invigorating effect of residences close to a waterfall or spring, or even after rain. Some of these reactions which improve well-being and physical and mental capacity have since become known.

1.       Negative ions accelerate the oxidative degradation of serotonin whereas positive ions have the opposite action and inactivate the enzymes which break down serotonin.

2.       An increase in the serotonin level (5-hydroxytryptamine) produces

o        tachycardia, o        a rise in blood pressure,  o        bronchospasm going as far as asthma attack,

o        increased intestinal peristalsis (contractions and dilations of the intestines to move the contents onwards),

o        increased sensitivity to pain, o        increased aggression.

3.       A decrease in the serotonin level is calming and increases defenses against infection (as proven with influenza 'the flu').

4.       Negative ions produce an increase in hemoglobin/oxygen affinity so that the partial oxygen pressure in the blood rises but the partial carbon dioxide pressure decreases. This results in reduced respiratory rate and enhances the metabolism of water-soluble vitamins.

In addition, negative ions produce an increase in PH and, in particular, an increase in the secretory performance of the mucosa with an increase in ciliary movement in the airways.

According to the studies of Fleischer and Pantlitschko, negative ions probably also improve blood flow by increasing the release of proteolytic enzymes with fibrinolytic activity. Wordens studied the adrenals of golden hamsters kept under the same experimental conditions. The adrenals of animals treated with positive ions weighed 33% less than the adrenals of animals treated with normal respiratory air.

On the other hand, the weight of the adrenals from golden hamsters treated with negative ions was 29% higher. Olivereau found a 30% enlargement of adrenals in rats after 20 days of treatment with negative ions. This finding suggests that the ability of the adrenals to produce glucocorticoids is reduced by positive ions and increased by negative ions.

Considerable increase in vital capacity were observed by M.A. Vytchikova and A. Minkh in 1959, with the maintenance of blood sugar and blood oxygen levels. Thus, in a group of 9 sports students, Minkh found that ergometer endurance was increased by 260% in 32 days compared with a normal control group following the inhalation for 15 minutes daily of air enriched with 1.5 million negative small ions per centimeter.

Even before the 1976 Olympics, air ionization in the sleeping quarters of team members was used to improve performance in sports centres in the USSR and the GDR [M. Jokl, Prague]. Studies by Altmann in 1975 clearly show that the performance of school children can, for example, be considerably increased by changing the electrical conditions of the rooms. Comparable effects have also been achieved by the use of ionized AIR.

According to the latest information in the fields of medicine, biology and meteorology, it can be definitively established that atmospheric ions have a biological effect. Atmospheric electrical factors are a component of our environment and we humans are clearly affected by electro-ionic microclimates to a far greater extent than previously imagined.

This finding acquires particular significance since, as a result of artificial air conditioning (e.g. atmospheric pollution, buildings, air-conditioning units, heating, electrical installations, plastics), civilized man spends 50-100% of his time in an unnaturally charged electro climate. In cities, in closed rooms and in cars, etc., the proportion of small negative ions in the atmosphere is markedly reduced compared with undisturbed nature.

An atmosphere with an excess of negative ions, such as frequently arise under open sky, usually induces a complete vegetative turn-around within twenty days. In the curative phase of this total turn-around, the vegetative nervous system is normally restored and the course of infectious diseases is essentially attenuated (weakened) and (healing is) accelerated.

The Science

The  ionic foot bath produces positive and negative ions that reverberate throughout the body to remove toxins and rebalance cellular energy.

While the body’s natural electrical impulses flow daily, age, injury, and illness can affect the electrical flow, causing a person to feel bad. The ionic foot bath, which is not a medical device but rather an instrument of assistance, works to detoxify the body of harmful substances and re-establish its natural balance. Users of the ionSpa ionic foot bath testify to the healthier, obvious difference they feel after a session.

The ionic foot bath operates through a process called electrolysis by passing direct electrical current through the foot bath water to break apart the H2O (water) molecule. This releases oxygen, stable hydrogen and the negative hydrogen ion (H-), the core benefit of an ionic foot bath session.

This negative hydrogen ion is a powerful antioxidant, pH balancer and the catalyst most responsible for ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) production, our body’s greatest energy resource. In the past, we received the negative hydrogen we needed through the consumption of raw vegetables and light proteins but modern processing, storage and handling has virtually stripped the modern diet of this increasingly vital element. Gentle and relaxing ionic foot bath sessions allow the body to uptake this “fuel of life”, which is essential in balancing and reenergizing the body’s natural ability to purge toxins and heal itself.

When experiencing the ionic foot bath, you will see the water change color as the electrical current, water, and magnetic field interact with your feet. While the water would change color by itself, the colors are noticeably different with feet in the foot spa and from one person compared to another person.

Ionic foot baths are not the first types of products to try and extract this powerful negative H ion and absorb it into the body. Since the 1950s, manufacturers have produced dozens of ionic generators for laboratory and home use. Early machines ionized atoms and molecules via high-voltage electrical fields, incandescent materials, ultraviolet light, x-rays and alpha or beta radiation from isotopes.

Advanced technology has eliminated many problems associated with previous ion devices. The IonSpa ionic foot bath, creates a high voltage with lower current, thereby reducing or eliminating the production of ozone. Our patented Intelli-Drive technology maintains a constant level of ionization throughout the course of the foot bath, increasing its effectiveness by over 10 times.  The Ion Spa should not be used by persons with a pacemaker or other battery operated or electrical implant or Pregnant women
