Dual Ionic Ion Detox Aqua Foot Spa Chi Cleanse Machine with MP3 Music Player

I brought my mom to the local wellness center and she tried this cool foot detox bath that claims to pull toxins from you feet, after the treatment ($35) she was practically floating through the store saying how wonderful she felt.  Imagine my surprise when...
I digress.  Let me do this chronologically.  She loved it so much that I bought her one for her to use at home.  No sense in paying $35 per treatment when you can buy the same exact machine for $135.  If I was going to buy one for her, I might as well buy one for me too, right?

I received the package and immediately invited all my friends and family over for treatments. The bath worked great and not long after we started it up, Gross bubbly nastiness began oozing from the machine.  The cool thing was, each persons toxins were a different color. We took turns reading the info on the toxin that was being released.  The color indicated what toxin your body was releasing, toxins from your liver or kidney, candida build up, etc.

I sent my mom home with her fancy toxin removing machine and she uses it all the time. Now for the disheartening thing.  My dad is a bit of a skeptic about such things.  He decided to try it for himself.  No surprise, terrible green and black sludge filled the basin.  He noticed though, that the "stuff" was coming from the coil in the water and not from his feet.  He decided to do a little experiment.  He ran the foot detox without his feet in it. The same green sludge filled the basin. Even the little black flecks floated to the top, just as they had when he did the detox treatment with his feet in the bath.  With this bit of information, I could no longer use my device.  I gave it to the local wellness center, a donation.  I couldn't sell something I thought was not what it claimed to be.  Could it be pulling toxins from the air? perhaps.  Could it be a convincing placebo? More likely.  By the way, I have no problems with placebos, which is why I donated it to the wellness center.  If you can cure yourself of cancer with a sugar pill, I say, go for it.  The thing about placebos is, you must believe in them.  Once the spell  is broken, they've lost their power.

Given all this drama, the final rating was 15/40.  Bad Stuff.
