Premium Foot Pads: (50pc) - Rapid Pain Relief & Foot Health, Fresh Scent, New Formula for 2019

Detox" product marketers have done no studies that identify what they claim to remove, measure its level in the body, and see whether such substances accumulate in the pads and have their level reduced in the body. It is unlikely they will ever try, because the basic idea that toxins will be excreted through the skin clashes with what is known about human anatomy and physiology. Real detoxification of foreign substances takes place in the liver, which modifies their chemical structure so they can be excreted by the kidneys which filter them from the blood into the urine. Sweat glands in the feet can excrete water and some dissolved substances. However, its minor role in ridding the body of unwanted substances is not changed by applying foot pads.In April 2008. ABC's "20/20" investigated Kinoki ad Avon pads and reported:When used overnight, the pads darkened, but dropping distilled water on the pads produced the same dark color.Laboratory analysis of pads used by eight volunteers showed no significant evidence of heavy metals or commonly used solvents.When asked for tests that would show that their products really work the companies offered no valid scientific studies.A few months later, a radio reporter in California conducted a similar investigation. First she had her husband wear pads overnight and then too them to a laboratory for testing. The lab found that the heavy metal content of the used pads were the same as that of an unused pad, which meant that the pads don't "suck out any toxins." Then she held an unused pad over a pot of boiling water. The steam caused the pad to turn black, indicating that the dark color that results from wearing a Kinoki pad is caused by a chemical in the pad that reacts to moisture [2].The Better Business Bureau has given the Kinoki Detox Foot Pads Company an "unsatisfactory" rating [3].Detox foot baths should also be regarded as fakes [4].In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission charged Yehuda (“Juda”) Levin, Baruch Levin, and their company (Xacta 3000 Inc.) with deceptive advertising. According to the complaint, the defendants claimed that applying Kinoki Foot Pads to the soles of the feet at night would remove heavy metals, metabolic wastes, toxins, parasites, chemicals, and cellulite from their bodies. The ads also claimed that use of the foot pads could treat depression, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system [5]. The case was settled with a stipulated agreement under which Yehuda Levin and the company were barred from promoting or selling any dietary supplement, food, drug, or medical device, and from helping others do the same. The defendants agreed to a judgment of $14.5 million, which represented the total revenues from the sale of the pads. However, based on their inability to pay, the entire judgment was suspended but will become due if they are found to have misrepresented their financial condition [6].ReferencesStossel J.

I saw something like this on Facebook and knew it's a good idea. Usually all the pressure points of entire body are at bottom of the feet, so I came searching on amazon and found this.Just in case some people have the same questions as I did:- This product smells really nice. It has a light smell similar to natural lavender but it has no lavender in it.- The packets are in powder form, so there's no worries about leaking even if accidentally tearing during unpack, the sticky pad can hold it together.I have been having bad circulations in my body and pains western doctors can not explain.I started using it the night I received it. As soon as I applied the products on my feet, I waited for a few minutes. I could feel it was helping. I could physically feel it was working through my veins (it was flowing faster) and different area of muscles (tingles). The next morning, I was able to gain more motions range with less pains. The pads looked black outside and white inside.The next night, as I read some other review, I put 2 pads to cover entire feet (I have small feet). I wasn't feeling well during the day. In the morning after, the pads were soaking black. Usually I knew I would normally feel much worse, but those pads definitely have helped to lessen the symptoms.I will definitely use them everyday! This product is a saver. It works as well as acupuncture - instead of paying it weekly, I can do it myself at home every night to make my body feels better.

This is a very good product. I recommend placing three foot pads on the bottom of each foot to cover the entire sole of the foot. I know it costs more that way, but if you look at an image of foot reflexology you can see the different parts of the body affected. I especially recommend covering the toes because this is the brain area. Our environment is now filled with nanobots coming from chem trails. This is making people feel sluggish and even can cause a variety of health problems. If you can afford a detox foot bath too...it is well worth the money. I use a detox foot bath at least once a week and the foot pads about 3-4 times a week. I know many woman like to buy designer purses with their money, but if you are not well enough to carry that designer purse then better to spend your money on good health care products. You can find cheaper foot pads than the one this company makes, but this one has Dokudami Herb in the product. This herb is a promoter of healthy gut bacteria. Another important notation due to the fact that many people now have unhealthy gut bacteria.

I'm not a medical professional, but I know my body and know that I needed something to help me detox the impurities out of my body. I was very hesitant about this product when I first ordered in September 2018. I can verify that this product has been very beneficial in many ways - that is why I just reordered! I tend to get bouts of gout, restless leg, and cramps in both my legs at times. I have found this product greatly reduces the pain and symptoms that go along with these issues. It does NOT happen in one night, but if you keep up the routine of applying as needed for as long as needed, you WILL find a vast improvement in the circulation of your legs which has reduced these symptoms for me. I am a REGULAR customer, not paid in any way to write this review. I gave this product to my mother who is 80 y/o and believes this has established better sleep, more energy, and fewer leg issues. I would not have written this review unless I believe in this product and have been encouraging others to give this product a try.
