Cleaning Up CES 2008 With an Ion Cleanse

Day four of CES feels like day 400. So I stopped by Alimtox Ion Cell Cleanse for a bit of high-tech healing. At this very moment, I've got my aching feet stuck in a basin of water. This guy who calls himself Dr. Doug just plunged an array into the basin.
After a 30-minute foot soak, you've detoxed your body. Based on the color of the water, you've cleansed yourself of a variety of toxins and troubles. If there's a brown tinge to the water, you've got Vegas problems: tobacco smoke, liver toxins, and cellular debris. If there are brown flecks in the water, you've got heavy metals. White cheesy particles mean yeast, and so on. I'm doing my soak with five others who are all ankle deep in water. Each one of us has different colored water now filled with the toxins that have oozed from our body.
According to the folks at Alimtox, the ionization process involves splitting water molecules so that you've got 2H20 instead of H2O. By using reverse-osmosis, the toxins are expelled though your feet. Since most diseases are caused by toxic build-up in the body, the reverse osmosis literally pulls the toxins from your body.
The woman sitting next to me has joint problems. Dr. Doug called it because of her orange-tinged water. My water was positively brackish, which means, well… it means that it's time to get out of town.
The Alimtox is not inexpensive. It normally retails for $2,100, but here at CES its folks are targeting the health care provider. But for Yahoo! readers at CES they're going to sell it for $1,499. They suggest using the Ion Cleanse at least twice a week. Hopes are that beauty parlors, spas, and other service industry businesses will embrace the new technology.
Me, I'm not sure whether it was enough to sit down for 30 minutes with my feet in a bucket or whether I'm really feeling detoxified, but the show seems a lot more manageable now. (Check out the precautions and contraindications before you plunk down your money.)

Hokum! Google "Alimtox" and see the claims they make. Here's 'how it works': What Is a Cell Cleanse Ion Foot Bath? An Alimtox Ion Cell Cleanse Foot Bath is a top quality high tech detoxification system that enables the body to heal itself. Equally suitable for professional and home use, our Alimtox Ion Detoxifying Unit is very user friendly and requires no special training. It's the perfect solution for body pollution! The Alimtox Ion Detoxifying Unit is quickly becoming one of the most popular Ion Detoxifying Unit's in today's market due to it's latest technology, ease of use, effectiveness and reliability. This foot bath relaxes, cleanses, balances and enhances the bio energy of the body. Chinese medicine refers to this energy as the "chi". The complex energy fields permeate and realign the body's energy field while improving oxygen levels. The foot bath is widely used to increase both physical and mental energy, vitality, and stamina. At the same time it also purges the body of toxins, chemicals, radiation, pollution, synthetics, and other foreign material clogging up the skin, an essential part of the body's systems of elimination. The internal cleansing promoted by an ionic foot bath also includes parasite cleansing and liver and kidney cleansing. The overall effect are the many possible health benefits found under our "Health Benefits" link. NOW.... Here's what it cures! (uh, not 'cures', but 'helps'... Gotta watch those FDA regulated unsubstantiated claims.) Health Benefits Purging of Heavy Metals Increased Energy Significant Pain Relief Reduced Inflammation A More Balanced pH Level Relief of Headaches Improved Memory A Stronger Immune System Relief of Gout and Arthritic Pain Improved Sleep Less Fluid Retention Greater Bladder Control Reduced Menopause Symptoms Improved Sexual Health Reduction of Acne, Wrinkles Stress Reduction Purging of Yeast and improvement of other Skin Problems As believed in Reflexology, each foot is actually a channel, a conduit, through which your body attempts to cleanse itself of toxic wastes and heavy metals that have been building up. During the foot bath, you will actually see the cleansing process taking place as the water interacts with a compound electric current and magnetic field structure. Our ionic cleansing process results in the correct frequency required for cells to return to a healthy state, and to release waste that has been bonded to them over the years. This detoxification process also enhances the effects of other therapies. The human body is electric because our cells are electric. Disorders and diseases of the body have vibrational frequencies that are incompatible with healthy cells; thus, they disrupt the cells' natural oscillation and polarity. This disruption creates imbalance and chaos within each affected cell. When cells are in an imbalanced state, they (RAN OUT OF SPACE). This is HOOEY!!!!!

In half an hour you can pull all your bodies toxins out through your feet? By splitting the water molecules? There is no science at work here except some shrewd human psychology.

I did it in 2006 and in 8 sessions, I felt better than I had in years and I lost about 20 pounds. Went from a size 16 to a 10 in about 3 months with NO OTHER dieting. All I can say is that I wish I had the money to do it again.

Wow, I really wish I could tap some of the "more-money-than-sense" crowd myself.

Actually, the manufacturer admits that the water alone will change/turn colors because of the cathode/anode interaction. What they claim is that there are still toxins being removed and the recommend doing water alone for 30 mins, and then water+feet for 30 min and compare. You have to use the exact same water source, of course.

I have to disagree here. I feel it's not snake oil. I have been using my ion cleanse personally and with clients for a while now and have some very positive testimonials about the product and what it does!! My dad was very sick and we started him on the ion cleanse and Mona%

I have been detoxing now for about 8 months and have cured my toe nail fungus. One lady we did was having a headache for about 4 months. She thought she had a brain tumor did her feet 1 time and her headache was gone the next morning. She cancelled her MRI. A lot of people say iot is snake oil. I believe in this modality. Thanks for reading.

I was at the state fair the other day. There was a booth advertising the NewCell Detox machine. I tried it for $40.00. After 30 minutes, the water turned brown, black, some orange, foam and there were particles floating. I was amazed. I just wonder if everything the vendor said is true that the treatment detoxed my body. I would invest $1,200 if it really does work. I need more evidence before I spend that much money. Any answers?

I don't get what it means by splitting the water molecules so you have 2H2O instead of H2O. The way it is written means you have 2 water molecules. If it was suppose to be H2O2, then it is supposedly turning the water into hydrogen peroxide. If you actually split a water molecule, you get H+ and OH-, but this occurs naturally with the concentration of each in pure water at 1x10^-7. That is why pure water has a pH of 7. So, I think these people at alimtox may have been smoking some toxins when they came up with that explanation.
