A Detox Foot Spa begins with placing the feet in warm salt water. The process involves purging the contents of the sweat glands. There are more than 2000 glands in each foot.

The detox foot spa detoxifies the body through the use of a process called “Electrolysis”. The array we use consists of two polarized electrodes (a positive and negative charge coil). When this is placed in warm, salted water, it creates an electromagnetic field.

The array magnetically draws the contents of the sweat glands into the water.

This process boosts the functioning of the lymphatic system and remove toxins out of the body. It is a one way street, exit only. Once out of the body, the particles bond together and can’t re-enter.

The session is about 30 minutes in the water. During the session, many colors and objects appear in the water. But it is important to understand that the water will change color even if the unit is operating without feet in the water. There is a reaction between the toxins and particles in the water, the salt added to the water, the metals in the array, and the acidity or alkalinity of the person being bathed. All of these combine to produce color.

What is important is the content on the top of the water.

After the session, we will wash your feet with an organic lavender soap and do a relaxing massage to activate the circulation.

Detox Foot Spa is a good Detoxification Program.

The Master Cleanser is a fasting diet designed to cleanse the colon and detoxify the body. The diet is also known as the Master Cleanse, the lemonade diet or just the Lemon Cleanse. I have done the Lemon Cleanse four times now but when I first heard about it I thought it was crazy. A friend of mine had just purchased the book “The Master Cleanser” by Stanley Burroughs and was very excited about trying the diet. The book was written in the 1940’s by Mr. Burroughs as a way to treat many health conditions and has been used by people who want to eliminate toxins and chemicals from their bodies.

Initially I thought it would be a very bad idea to abstain from solid food for 10 days. I told my friend it couldn’t be healthy to do this. But her persistent enthusiasm perked my interest and I read book.  What caught my attention was the part of the book about the affect of the lemonade diet on addictions. At the time I was drinking a lot of coffee daily and was having difficulty getting off of my caffeine addiction. The Master Cleanser claims that any addiction will be wiped out after purging your body of toxins and cleaning your colon for 10 days. This was enough to push me to give it a try.

The first two days on the cleanse were very difficult. I felt like I was starving and constantly thought of food. My stomach was begging me to give it something other than the spicy lemon juice it was getting every hour or so. But on the third day my stomach relaxed and my energy levels remained constant throughout the day. I remained like this for the rest of the eight days and was able to function normally at work and I slept well.

Throughout the cleanse, even though I was not eating solid food, I continued to eliminate solid waste. I’m not sure which was more disgusting: the “stuff” that came out of me or the salt water bath Mr. Burroughs recommends in the mornings while on the cleanse. Drinking the salt water bath is one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do. The theory is the salt mixture is the same specific gravity of  your blood and is therefore not sent to your bladder and the mixture goes through the intestinal tract cleaning it out in the process.  Twenty minutes after drinking the salt water, it found its way through my body. Make sure you don’t have to leave the house shortly after the salt water bath. It could be a recipe for disaster.

After finishing the Master Cleanser it was the moment of truth. I was back on normal food and while driving to work I would slowly pass the coffee shops I used to stop at in Vancouver. I watched the expressions on the their faces as they took the first sip of coffee. The pure satisfaction from the caffeine “fix”. I kept driving. At work (right beside a Starbucks) I lasted the day without even a slight craving. No headaches, no irritability, and no inability to concentrate.

I’ve done the lemon cleanse once a year and each time the amount of “stuff” eliminated has diminished which demonstrates that it is cleaning the colon and intestinal tract.

According to the book, a cleanse diet or fast is a very important part of any treatment of disease . It is primarily used for detoxifying the body. The Master Cleanse has become hugely popular through word of mouth and the book is available at health food stores in Vancouver and around the world.

Recently the Master Cleanse has become popular as a weight loss diet. Some celebrities have testified that they have lost large amounts of weight on the diet. Beyonce Knowles announced on the Oprah show that she lost 20 pounds using the Master Cleanser. Robin Quivers, Howard Stern’s co-host claims to have lost 73 pounds on the diet. However, in my opinion, the Master Cleanse diet is not a good weight loss diet. The weight lost will most likely return if you go back to your old lifestyle after the cleanse. Fasting will cause your body to shed pounds because the calorie intake is lower than your calorie expenditure. But the weight will come back on if you go back to a high carbohydrate diet with insufficient physical activity.

The Master Cleanser is a great way to cleanse the colon and to revitalize the body. It does take some discipline, especially to get through the first couple days, but it is well worth it. The discipline and commitment to the process is much higher than the foot detox spa but accomplishes different goals. The Detox Foot Spa works well with the Lemon Diet because it helps to detoxify the body in another way and stimulates the lymphatic system to help eliminate released toxins.

The Lemon Cleanse Diet Recipe

Makes enough for 1 day

• 12 Tbsp organic dark maple syrup
• 12 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 60 oz purified warm or room temperature water

Combine the lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne with the water. Stir.

Many people enjoy doing the lemon cleanse in the spring to re-energize before summer. I prefer to do it at New Years. Fasting is a great way to kick off the new year and allows you to remain focussed on your health if your resolution is to achieve improved wellness. I start on January 2nd because I don’t want to miss my families New Years Day dinner! Whenever you decide to start your cleanse just remember three things. First, for most people the first two days are really tough. After that it gets much easier. Focus on making it through the first 2 days and the other 8 will be easy. Second, don’t let the salt water bath stop you. I wish I could say you get used to it but you won’t. It is really hard to swallow! But try it and if you can’t deal with it substitute the herbal laxitive tea in its place. Third, consult a qualified health care practictioner before starting your cleanse. Especially if you are dealing with any chronic conditions.

If you decide to try the Lemon Cleanse have fun with it. It is a personal accomplishment to conquer your stomach and show it who is the boss. Take it on as a personal challenge and it will be a great experience. You will realize that a lot of time and energy is spent on shopping for, preparing and eating your food. Not to mention the time and energy spent cleaning the dishes. Until you stop eating you don’t realize just how much time and effort goes into your daily meals. Doing the Lemon Cleanse will allow you to spend this time on other activities. Use this time to read a book, listen to your favorite podcasts or pursuing your own creative ventures. The Master Cleanser is a way for you to take control of your hunger and cravings and helps develop a commitment to lifelong wellness.

Of course, one method is the detox foot spa, which helps to stimulate the lymphatic system and flush out toxins. There are many detox choices but today we will focus on a product here is called Cellular Zeolite or Clinoptolite. Now just the mention of the word clinoptolite has those heavy metals shaking in their toxic boots! Cellular Zeolite comes in different forms. It used to only be available in powdered form and was difficult to disolve in water. The newer zeolite is activated zeolite and is already disolved completely in solution.

Liquid Zeolite can help to:

• Detoxify your body
• Buildup your immune system
• Boost your natural defences
• Prevent pre-mature aging
• Reduce your cancer risk

Activated Cellular Zeolite helps your body maintain optimum ph balance and helps supercharge your immune system. Making your body a stronger force against infections, bacteria and viruses.

Clinoptolite is formed from volcanic rock and has a hexagon shaped, cage like structure which traps toxic compounds and heavy metals where they are removed from the body via normal elimination processes withing 4 to 7 hours.

The benefits of detoxifying your body and removing chemicals, heavy medals and other toxic compounds include an anti-aging affect with improved skin texture and younger looking skin. Preventing the build up of cancer causing toxins is a great benefit as well.

What exactly does Cellular Zeolite remove from your body? And why do people take it as a supplement?

1.  Heavy Metals such as mercury, cadmium, arsinic and lead. These are toxic in humans and can severely damage your health. Many of these are known carcinogens.

2.  Zeolites may have an antiviral effect because they tend to trap viral particles within its porous cell structure and remove them from the body before “viral assembly” can take place.

3.  It is a safe, natural preventative which lowers risks of cold and flu infections and helps remove cancer causing particles and heavy metals.

4.  Zeolites have been shown to help balance pH levels in the body which makes it more difficult for viruses and bacteria to thrive.

5.  Activated liquid zeolite can trap excess protons in the digestive tract, helping to lower the risk of acid reflux.

6.  They have been shown to improve nutrient absorption in the digestive tract allowing for improved utilization of other dietary supplements.

7.  Zeolites help improve the immune system function by removing toxins

8.  Activated zeolite can trap allergens from the blood stream and digestive tract before a reaction and therefore reduce symptoms from food and environmental allergies.

9.  Trials have shown that because of it’s effects in the digestive system, activated zeolite tends to stop diarrhea but also relieves constipation.

10.  Zeolite has been demonstrated to promote a sense of well being

At L’Unique Spa clients are encouraged to use a form of gentle detox while undergoing a series of Detox Foot Spa sessions. Cellular Zeolite is a perfect choice to help your body and it works synergistically with the Detox Foot Spa to help improve your health and energy.

A new health fad, the detox foot patch can be found all over the internet. The idea is, apply the pads before going to bed and they will draw the toxins out of the body while you sleep. In the morning the pads will be a dark dirty color which indicates that the toxins have been drawn out of the body through the feet.

An internet search of this product will find blog posts and comments about how the pads will change color even if you only add moisture to the pads and the discoloration has nothing to do with toxins. The only way to determine this would be to take the detox foot pads to a lab and analyze the contents of the pads. Apparently, this has been done by a number of individuals and organizations including a major media company, and they found no significant toxins present in the foot pads.

Some people have reported feeling nausea, dizziness and a burning sensation on their feet. The detox foot patches have been known to have a horrible odour by the morning and many people report not feeling any better afterwards. It appears that the placebo affect may be at work for the people who do report improvements in their well being.

The Detox Foot Spa, Ionic Foot Bath or the Ion Cleanse is a method of detox using ionized water. The patient puts their feet in the water and an “array” is activated which initiates electrolysis in the water. The resulting magnetic field in the water draws out toxins, heavy metals and other impurities through the many sweat glands in the feet.

Like the Detox Foot Pads, the Detox Foot Spa produces a very distinct discoloration in the water. This discoloration also has nothing to do with the toxins being removed from the body because the water will discolour even if there is a carrot, a piece of celery or nothing at all in the water. The electrolyse acting on the minerals and impurities in the water will produce a discoloration effect on its own. The color is not important, the content of the water is important. A few clinics have run trials on the content of the water. Comparing the content of the water with feet to a non feet control. They found a significant difference in the quantity of various heavy metals and other toxins compared to the control group.

Many people experience a noticeable improvement after their first session. People have reported feeling more energetic and refreshed. Improved sleep is a common benefit. Reduced or eliminated headaches and less illness throughout the year.

What would you prefer? A smelly, oily detox foot pad or a relaxing ionized water bath? L’Unique Spa in Vancouver includes a relaxing foot massage at the end of each Detox Foot Spa session. This is a benefit you won’t get from a Detox Foot Pad! And that is a good enough reason for me to choose the Detox Foot Spa over the Detox Foot Pad.
