How Long Should Someone Wear The Detox Pads For?

The first thing to say regarding the question of how long someone should wear the detox pads for, is to reassure everyone that there is no wrong or right length of time to wear the detox foot pads. 

A person can wear them one time and get benefits. There will be less toxins in their body even after one use. (Pretty cool, huh?)

The length of time it takes for a detox foot patch to "come clean" in the morning varies so much between people. My first time using the foot pads it took me about 7 months on the arches of my feet to come clean. I was in my late 20s and lived a pretty clean lifestyle. At least I thought so! (I rarely ate fast food, didn't drink soda, sugar was limited, and I didn't use toxic makeup). But in the area of my toes, I have never EVER seen them come clean. That area correlates to the head in reflexology charts. And I have had a LOT of issues, from hearing loss, TMJ issues, dental work (I have gotten all my metal fillings removed over 15 years ago and my mouth is doing a lot better now), migraines, I even had a tumor in my head 10 years ago. So that is understandable, I think. 

Let's take a few scenarios that some customers have asked me about specifically.

If you are middle aged and lived on the standard American diet for 35-50 years, and you work in a factory or a beauty salon around chemicals all day long.... then you may NEVER have the detox foot pads come clean in the morning. Even if you used them every night for YEARS. The reason? Input and output. Not only has your body had YEARS to store toxins, and become sluggish, you are continually adding more toxins to your bucket. 

And speaking of that bucket, I like to use the example of everyone having a bucket -- they can be all different sizes... it can be the "toxin bucket" and one person may have a huge bucket and won't feel any symptoms until it starts to overflow with toxins.... so they may smoke 2 packs of cigarettes per day and eat McDonald's every day for lunch, and so on... and on .... for decades. And then all of the sudden their bucket is overflowing and they start to feel chronic symptoms come on. Then they refuse to believe it is their lifestyle... because after all, they have been living this way for decades! But in reality, their genetics allowed them to have this huge bucket... 

So, back to this middle aged American who finally decides to start detoxing. The detox foot pads are a great choice because you can start and stop whenever, and use them when it is convenient for you. Other forms of detoxing require you to be near a bathroom, or make you sick, or force your body to detox. The foot pads don't. They only pull from that toxin bucket -- what your body is ALREADY trying to get rid of!! 

So, using the detox foot pads you will start to lessen the load in the bucket. And you will continue to expose yourself to toxins in your food, in your home -- carpet off gassing, mattresses off gassing, the spray on clothing and furniture... New clothing is often covered with formaldehyde to prevent mildew, wrinkling and parasites during shipping -- especially those shipped from China! (In fact, Victoria's Secret has undergone multiple lawsuits for the excessive formaldehyde levels found in their lingerie!) Not to mention the toxins in our personal care items, cleaning items and the air we breathe!

So... if you could be very alert and focused on cleaning up your home so that there is no mold, no off gassing, no toxic cleaning products or personal care items, and you started eating better and more organic whole foods instead of processed foods, and got a good air purifier and on and on.... plus using the detox foot pads, you can get ahead of the toxin bucket, and slowly start to empty it. The more it is emptied, the more you gain control over your chronic pain and other symptoms. 

And, if you ever get that toxin bucket fully empty, the foot pads will come clean in the morning after use! 

That is the question I get asked the most. When will they come clean? 

Every single person is different. The bucket size is different. The exposure to toxins is different... We are each individuals. 

• I would recommend for a middle aged adult who wants to detox but doesn't have any debilitating health issues (maybe a little chronic pain or a couple minor health issues) to start with a 3-month supply and rotate the foot pads on the different areas of the body.
  
  
• I would recommend for a younger adult who lives a clean, healthy lifestyle with no major health issues except maybe one or two minor ones, to start out with a 1-month supply and rotate the foot pads on the different areas of the body.
  
  
• I would recommend for a chronically ill adult with lots of health issues, to consider doing 3 on each foot per night for at least 3 months. That is a lot of foot pads, but the benefits are enormous!
  
  
• For infants, I would say maybe 3-5 days max of use before they are fully cleaned and detoxed!
  
  
• For elementary school kids, I recommend 2 weeks of use for a good detox. Unless they have heavy metal toxicity or other health issues, they shouldn't need more than 2 weeks.

And I love that my customers love the detox foot pads. Thank you all so much!

Detox Foot Pads Lighten Over Time

Here are some pictures of my detox foot pads when I started using them again after being lax for a couple months. I do need to explain that I have methylation issues (genetic) that cause me to not be able to detoxify as well as most folks, so if I am without my detox foot pads for awhile, they are super gooey. The progression below is over a period of 2 weeks, and sometimes multiple foot pads (up to 3) on each foot.

In normal cases, if I use the foot pads every night for 2-3 weeks all of the areas will become clean again except the toes. (Here are my thoughts on why my toes never come clean).

I eat a clean diet, avoid processed foods and use only natural personal care products and cleaning products for my home. I do get exposed to environmental toxins such as mold, pollution, etc which I cannot control. Every day life we are exposed to toxins. If I didn't live as "clean" as I do, I don't think 2-3 weeks would make my detox foot pads come back as clean as they were.

Do Detox Foot Pads Work?

Detox foot pads are natural detoxifying patches that are worn on the soles of the feet. The foot pads are said to draw harmful toxins from the body. People that use them find they are reliable solutions for detox that literally help them feel better. Others are more skeptical and are holding out for scientific tests. Yet like many alternative, folk, or ancient healing practices, the natural ingredients contained in the pads do have healthful properties that support the use of these patches for detoxifying purposes. Since they're non-invasive and all-natural, they're worth considering since we come into contact with toxins and pollutants every day.

Detoxifying Agents
Some people drink teas that help cleanse the body; others, of course, prefer to wear detox foot pads at night when they sleep. These adhesive patches are places on the feet where they are said to draw toxins from the body. Just as many toxins may be released through the sweat, the ingredients appear to draw toxins from the body. Overtime, the body achieves a natural detox. One pad isn't enough to rid the body of its toxins, but people do find that a healthful regimen that includes foot pads which enhance the way they feel.

Why Should We Detoxify?
In a way, the body is always working to detoxify itself. The liver and kidneys, for instance, work to rid toxins from our bodies. While the best way to promote a clean body is to eat right, we still can't help coming into contact with pollutants and toxins or heavy metals that may be contained the air we breathe or water we drink. Detoxifying the body is an ancient practice. The ingredients used in many detox foot pads have their roots in ancient Eastern medicine. Alternative medical practitioners routinely prescribe these natural healing remedies and even Western Medicine is trying to catch up with the ancient knowledge. For instance, many of today's medications are based on old folk remedies based upon herbs.

What Ingredients are in Detox Foot Pads?
When you purchase detox foot pads, look for products with no fillers. Some of the most popular foot pads include ingredients like oak vinegar, bamboo vinegar, eucalyptus, and Chitosan (shellfish) to name a few. Many also contain a plant called Houttuynia cordata which is native to Asia, but now grows in countries like the U.S. This particular plant's Japanese name literally means 'poison-blocking plant.' Like many folk and alternative health remedies, foot pad remedies and ingredients may vary. It's always ideal to purchase from reputable sellers that list their ingredients; you can then research each ingredient to better understand its efficacy.

Detox foot pads work for many people who use them regularly. The idea is to try them to see how you feel after using them for a prescribed period of time. Typically, one night won't result in noticeable results though you are likely to see the tell-tale brown staining on the pad after a single night of use telling you that they are working. If you are in search of a non-invasive--something you needn't digest, for instance--these foot pads may be the detox agent you've been waiting for.

Purify Your Body Detox Foot Pads Ingredients and The Benefits

Many people ask me about what the specific ingredients do in my foot pads for detox. Let's start by sharing what my ingredients are.

Detox Foot Pad Ingredients:

• Oak Vinegar, 5%
• Bamboo Vinegar, 16%
• Tourmaline, 10%
• Houttyunia Cordata, 7%
• Eucalyptus, 22%
• Chitosan, 10%
• Agicarus Mushroom, 20%
• Saururus Chinensis, 10%

The foot pads are 5 grams each, and the ingredients make up the whole foot pad. There are absolutely no fillers. Common fillers to watch out for are Dextrin, Vegetable Fiber and Cornstarch. They all are basic starch, that, while it has some absorbing properties, it is really a cheap filler that decreases the potency of the foot pad. I use chitosan as an absorber, and it absorbs over 400x its weight in impurities and toxins, so there is no need for a cheap filler, and no need for me to promote it as an absorber.

Oak Vinegar. This vinegar is traditionally believed to improve blood circulation, which can lead to relief from fatigue, headaches, arthritis, and other chronic conditions.

Bamboo Vinegar. This is a higher end wood vinegar and a high quality pad will have more bamboo vinegar than oak vinegars. This ingredient helps pull the toxins through the lymph system.

Tourmaline. This is a mineral that emits far infrared heat and negative ions that work to relieve pain and inflammation, and help promote deep, restorative sleep.

Houttuyni Cordata. (also known as Dokudami). This is a plant that contains a variety of flavanoids and has extremely potent absorbent properties.

Eucalyptus. One thing that is very cool about eucalyptus is that if you planted a eucalyptus tree in a swamp area, it would pull out the water via its roots, and soon, the swamp would be dry. It sucks the moisture from the ground, and is extremely important in pulling the toxins through the body into the foot pads. This is the process of osmosis.

Chitosan. I mentioned earlier that chitosan (a shellfish fiber) can absorb up to 400x its weight in toxic matter. It is what is used many times during oil spills. They pour the chitosan on the surface of the water, and come back to scoop it up as it absorbs the oils and impurities.

Agaricus Mushroom. This mushroom is said to support normal immune function and to promote homeostasis. It is known to help balance blood sugar levels and alleviate allergies.

 Saururus Chinensis. This plant is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

My detox foot patches are getting cleaner as the weeks progress

I am traveling, and what that normally means is bad food choices, stress and lack of sleep. All of these things put your body under extra duress, and many times sickness prevails -- you are in new environments with different strains of germs, your body is out of whack due to time zone changes, etc.

Last night, I wore 3 detox foot patches on each foot, for about 8 hours. This is my picture from this morning when I took them off:

I have teeny patches on the toes that are white... but I doubt they will ever become fully clean. My brain is so toxic, I have been told, hah! :)

However, on this trip I have been eating mostly gluten free, fully sugar free, and taking my vitamins. I also brought my diatomaceous earth and my french green clay to make a clay drink. I am proud of myself. I also didn't let flight delays and sitting for 4 hours at an airport get me down. So I did a lot better this time with my travels. (I am traveling for work so not as fun as if it were vacation!)

I have been better at wearing the foot pads more consistently, maybe 4-5 times per week vs. 2-3 times per week. So, I plan on continuing this, and hopefully there will be a time when the foot pads aren't even dark at all.

What Makes Purify Your Body's Detox Foot Pads Better than all the Rest?

Purify Your Body’s Detox Foot Pads are packed with powerful ingredients that WORK!

Purify Your Body’s Detox pads produce more negative ions and infrared light than ANY other pad and are the only pads with NO starch fillers. All ingredients are designed to work together to draw out and absorb harmful toxins.


Remember that as adults we have between 400 to 800 man made chemicals in our bodies.

Detoxifying is an acceptable and necessary part of living a healthy life in today’s world. Purify Your Body’s Detox foot pads are one of the most effective and easiest forms of natural detoxification. What poisons are you carrying around in your body? More importantly, how do you get rid of them? While eastern medicine has known and embraced the virtues of natural detoxing for many years, western nations are only just catching on. Yet it’s a natural, obvious, and effective health treatment which can cure fluid retention, food intolerances, gas or diarrhea, colds and infections, exhaustion, skin rashes, headaches or dizziness, insomnia, and a host of other problems. As adults, we have around 400 to 800 man-made chemicals circulating in our bodies. Normal healthy body elimination processes do not remove all these chemicals. Food, drinks, polluted air, medications, stress, metabolism, disease, products applied to skin, synthetics, home and workplace chemicals contribute to the body's toxin load which accumulates daily and builds up over the years.

Introducing the amazing Purify Your Body Detox Pad. The pad warms and opens the pores of the skin to draw out and absorb accumulated wastes via the skin under osmotic pressure from the blood and lymph systems.
 
The all-natural dry ingredients in the Foot Detox pad adhere to the soles of the feet like a big band aid overnight, when the body detoxifies. Depending on the individual, the detox may take two or three weeks or two or three months, or even longer in the case of more severe disease or toxic build up.

Potent all-natural ingredients. The Detox patch ingredients include the Agaricus mushroom from the jungles of Brazil. The Agaricus mushroom contains ample amounts of Beta Glucans, the major ingredient in natural cancer controlling substances, a steroid that can regulate the increase of cancerous cells.

Dry powder in the patch also contains chitosan, bamboo sap, eucalyptus sap from mature trees over 100meters high, ionic (absorbable) tourmaline minerals that contain negative ions and saururus chenesis - the first plant to grow at the atomic bomb site in Hiroshima, and other potent plant ingredients. These ingredients work together to draw out the toxic build-up in your feet, and in other parts of the body.

Toxins accumulate in the extremities. For hundreds of years Eastern medical studies have held the view that toxins progress towards the lower extremities in the body during the day. Assisted by gravity they accumulate from the tips of the toes to the ankles. Eastern medicine also understands that toxin accumulation leads to many degenerative diseases. For example, painful rheumatism and arthritis are caused by acidic toxin fluid gathered in the joints. There is another Asian expression that says aging comes from the foot.

Why our Detox Foot Pads are better:


* Negative ions, a positive influence. Purify Your Body’s Detox Foot Pads are made with the mineral tourmaline, which contains negative ions. Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron and they can help you feel better. Remember that feeling you've experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains? Those are two places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create a positive effect on human biochemistry and Detox pads allow negative ions to work their magic. The special sap used in the Detox foot pads increases the vibration of negative ions which can then be absorbed easily by the skin.

* Far infrared generation, the warmth of healing. Our tissues normally produce infrared energy for warmth and tissue repair. At times the infrared energy in our tissues may require a boost to a higher level to ensure the fullest healing possible for tissue repair. Our Detox Foot Pads have been scientifically proven to produce warmth from Far infrared generation.

* Highest Quality Ingredients. The Detox Foot Patch uses the highest quality wood vinegar after natural purifying. Wood and bamboo vinegar are dried for a period of 8 months in order to remove the water substance. Next, to remove the impurities, a filtration process is applied four times. Lastly, the drying process is applied again for a period of 8 months to obtain a complete pure wood and bamboo vinegar. The finished product of the drying process is outstandingly pure.


Dry powder in the pad contains: Agaricus mushroom, chitosan, bamboo sap, eucalyptus sap from mature trees over 100 meters high, ionic (absorbable) tourmaline minerals that contain negative ions and saururus chenesis - the first plant to grow at the atomic bomb site in Hiroshima, and other potent plant ingredients.

Purify Your Body’s Detox pads are FDA registered. Detox pads were tested and certified safe and with non detectable heavy metals by USA FDA in November 2002 giving peace of mind for their safety.
