How the Ionic Footbath Works


The feet are placed into the water while the power source delivers a low level direct current to the array. This causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water.

Within seconds of placing your feet in the water, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize the toxins in your body. The ions travel through the body, attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles, and osmosis pulls the neutralized particles out through the feet.

It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic buildup in the body. The long-term effectiveness of the Ionic Footbath detoxification process depends on other life-enhancing changes a person is willing to make.

Healing Benefits of the Ionic Foot Bath
The Ionic Footbath produces negative hydrogen ions, which are primary antioxidants, as well as, energy carriers. The way the footbath session works is through water ionization and osmosis to draw toxins from the body. This holistic way of approaching disease through saturation of the blood, tissues, cells and organs is both naturally stimulating yet relaxing. The Ionic Footbath allows for a large uptake of negative ions into the coenzyme NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). This combination creates active  NADH, the essential coenzyme of all cellular regeneration and production. Coenzymes are small organic non-protein molecules that carry chemical groups between enzymes.
The high availability of active NADH is directly associated with:
Increased energy
Increased physical stamina
Better blood pressure and cholesterol
Enhanced replacement and repair of damaged cells
More active DNA repair
Building up of the body’s network of defense systems at a cellular level
Better regulation of the production of neurotransmitters, aiding with depression and memory loss
Slowing of many conditions associated with old age

Your body will feel lighter after the first session. You will think more clearly, have more energy and enjoy a greater sense of well-being. Remember that any form of detoxification requires body energy. Strong people experience and energy increase and their bodies feel lighter. Fatigue indicates an over – stressed condition and emotional upheaval indicates emotional toxins are being released along with chemical toxins.
Check the following list to see which toxins you may be exposed to, sometimes on a daily basis.

Foods sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides
Animals we eat who are given antibiotics and growth hormones

Water that has been treated with chlorine, fluoride and/or ammonia, and can contain arsenic, etc.

The air we must breathe is polluted with any manner of things including bacteria, metallic salts, mold, aluminum
soaps, shampoos, detergents and cleaning supplies which are loaded with chemicals that include known carcinogens such as sodium laurel sulfate.
Mercury fillings, which are always leeching into the body
Anything aluminum or plastic
Vaccinations, flu shots
Household adhesives, paints
Chemicals from synthetic fabrics
Lawns sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers
Irradiation of foods
Other irradiation including x-rays, mammograms, nuclear power plants, bomb testing and uranium mine tailings
Cell phones and cell phone towers
Computer monitors
Power grids along with radio and satellite transmissions
Televisions, particularly the High Definition type
Toxic thoughts and toxic emotions

There are at least 70,000 chemicals in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified 65,000 of them potentially, if not definitely, hazardous to human health! Over 6,000 new chemicals are tested in the U.S. each week (by the companies who stand to make a profit if they are found ‘safe’). 3,000 chemicals have been identified as intentionally added to food supplies and over 700 in drinking water. Additionally, during food processing and storage, more than 15,000 other chemicals can become an integral part of many commonly used foods – AND THEY DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE.

All of these and more contribute to the heavy load of toxins in our bodies. Often we see that this leads to all manners of disease, allergies, mental incapacitation or at the very least, some side effects including rashes, pimples, dark circles under the eyes, insomnia, headaches, swelling, fatigue and pain.

The Science Behind Ionic Foot Bath
The Chemistry in the water
The process of separating oxygen and hydrogen is known as decomposition, which means oxidation-reduction reaction. Oxidation means giving up electrons and reduction means gaining electrons. Water is oxidized at the anode (the positive terminal of a cell that converts electrical energy to chemical energy.) The reaction is 2H2O—O2+4H+4e- where 4e stands for 4 negatively charged electrons that are given up in the oxidation process.

Water is reduced at the cathode Electric current"electric current flows out of a polarized electrical device). The reaction is 4H2O+4e—2H2+4OH- where 4e stands for the electrons that are gained in the reduction process. In the overall decomposition reaction, the volume of H2 produced is twice the volume of O2: 2H2OH—2H2+O2. What we have, therefore, are free negative and positive ions circulating in a water solution (the physical body is a water solution.) and occasionally combining to form H2O2, otherwise known as hydrogen peroxide.

So we are dealing with free hydrogen, free oxygen and various combinations of both.

When functional, oxygen provides the basic drive for human metabolism. It is the main detox molecule of the body and is nature’s most potent antimicrobial agent. It is one of the primary protectors of human health.

When dysfunctional, oxygen is oxidizing, acidifying and dysoxygenative. This can result in several chronic disorders including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, environmental sensitivity syndrome and all the way to pleomorphic forms(micro-organisms that have the ability to change form, examples include Hodgkin’s lymphoma and AIDS).
Negative-Ion Hydrogen (H-)
Negatively ionized hydrogen is an important key discovery for health and longevity. Hydrogen has the smallest atom of all the chemical elements. Hydrogen is unique in that it can carry an extra electron which swirls around the atom forming a cloudy effect, in which case it is called H-.

Negative-Ion hydrogen is the most abundant element in the known universe. (Hydrogen makes up 90% of the matter known in the Universe; helium makes up 9%; all the other elements in the Universe are found in the remaining 1 %.) It is naturally found in all bodily fluids, as well as in fresh fruits and vegetables and their juices. Exposure to light and heat destroys it, and stress depletes it. Nearly everyone has a serious deficiency of negatively-charged hydrogen due to toxins, a lack of organic fruits and vegetables, and high levels of stress in modern life.

In the absence of an adequate supply of negative hydrogen ions, toxins and free radicals accumulate and health deteriorates.

Specifically, negative hydrogen has seven extremely important roles in the body's health:

1) It restores and maintains the important proper balance of acidity/alkalinity.

2) It enhances the body's electrical conductivity, the method of intercellular communication.

3) Negatively ionized hydrogen is the most successful antioxidant for counteracting the damaging free radicals that are the major contributors to degenerative disease and aging, with thousands per day bombarding each cell. Toxins are positively charged. As mentioned earlier, an antioxidant molecule gives up an electron to the toxic radical molecule, thus stabilizing it.

Negative hydrogen gives up its extra electron without becoming an unstable harmful free radical, unlike all other antioxidants. Thus it quenches the health-destroying cascade of free radicals. Plus, each atom is so small that the number of electrons available per gram of material is vastly more than any other antioxidant.

4) Negative hydrogen establishes a biological terrain wherein harmful microbes, such as yeasts, bacteria, viruses and other parasites, do not remain. This terrain is unfavorable to cancer cells as well.

5) Hydrogen is essential in every chemical reaction that takes place in the body. Having a good supply enhances virtually all metabolic activities: enzymes; hormones; liver, heart and nerve functions, etc.

6) Hydrogen is the fuel of life. The hydrogen carries oxygen into the cell where the oxygen burns the hydrogen to form ATP, the compound that all cells use for energy. So negative-ion hydrogen is a non-caloric source of cellular energy. The byproduct of this process is pure water.

7) This water assists the cells in being properly hydrated. (Dehydrated cells, as are usual in most people, have dilapidated membranes much like a deflated ball. These cells are more likely to stick to each other, a common problem. The process of nutrients and oxygen in and wastes out is impeded. Thus these cells do not function well, and die early.)

So much emphasis has been placed on oxygen as the essential element allowing us to exist on Earth that we tend to forget the other equally essential element, namely hydrogen. Without hydrogen to combine with oxygen we would not have water. The word hydrogen comes from the Greek language and it means ‘water-former’. In fact, water is formed when hydrogen is burned by oxygen.

The oxygen burns hydrogen in the living system (our bodies), releasing the energy that runs our bodies. Hydrogen is the ‘the fuel of life’. It is essential to most biological processes in its atomic form, positive proton form or negative-ion form (H-). Studies have shown that the human body stores hydrogen in its tissues. As we age, tissue hydrogen-depletion may lead to many of the symptoms of the aging process. This may cause sub-clinical dehydration since it appears that hydrogen may play a role in hydrating our cells. Since hydrogen is so abundant, you would think that we know all there is to know about it, but we are just now learning about its importance in the living system.

Hydrogen is the lightest and smallest element known to science. Due to its small size, hydrogen easily travels throughout our bodies. It can also loosely hold another electron (in its outer shell), in which case it is called H- or reduced hydrogen. No electron moves in the living system unless it is accompanied by hydrogen. In the absence of an adequate supply of negative hydrogen ions, intracellular communication between your cells and energy production are inhibited. Thereby, toxins and free radicals accumulate and health deteriorates.

ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate)
Inside all cells are varying numbers of small energy factories, known as mitochondria. The more active the tissue is, the greater the number of mitochondria. These mitochondria produce the energy currency of your body called ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Adenosine tri-phosphate is a biochemical energy battery that supplies almost all the energy needs of the human body. Or to put it more technically: Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional

Hydrogen produces ATP molecules by moving electrons along the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Our purpose of eating food is to ultimately create ATP, which could be called the source of life’s energy. Hydrogen, from food, supplies the needed protons and electrons for the mitochondrial electron transport chain to make ATP. We each use about on-half pound of pure hydrogen every day just for the production of ATP. Attaching hydrogen to a molecule means lending energy to it. Since, in hydrogen, the electron and proton are loosely coupled, by attaching a hydrogen atom we essentially attach an electron.

Free radicals and antioxidants
Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that attack molecules by capturing electrons and thus modifying chemical structures. It is a toxic compound that has lost a negatively charged electron, produced in your body as a by-product of metabolic oxidation. It therefore carries a positive charge and is unstable. It is capable of attracting an electron away from a vital cellular site such as the electron-rich DNA. Loss of an electron can damage a cell and alter its ability to perform its special function or to replicate itself normally. High levels of free radicals are a major cause of aging, as well as, many acute and chronic diseases. Levels of free radicals are higher in people exposed to air or water pollution, commercial animal products, toxic chemical and/or cigarette smoke.

An antioxidant is any substance that reduces oxidative damage (damage due to such as that caused by free radicals. An antioxidant is a compound, which has a weak attraction to one of its electrons. It therefore readily surrenders an electron to a free radical, stabilizing and neutralizing the free radical, which then becomes a stable compound. Having surrendered an electron, the antioxidant itself may temporarily become a free radical, but a less aggressive one until it captures an electron from another antioxidant, to replace the one given up, in a cascade of electron transfers to milder, and milder and less damaging compounds.

Negative hydrogen however, is the one unique antioxidant that does not become a free radical. The electron it surrenders is an extra electron. The negative hydrogen ion becomes stable hydrogen, balanced with one electron and one proton. Antioxidant compounds are produced by your body, but are also obtained either from food or from dietary supplements. Vitamin C, Beta-carotene, vitamin E and selenium are well known as water and fat soluble antioxidants, found in fruits, vegetables and phyto-nutrientsupplements such as spirulina.

Another antioxidant compound is proanthocyanidins, extracted from grape seeds or pine bark. It is significant to this discussion to realize that each molecule of an antioxidant compound, no matter how large the molecule, surrenders only one electron. The hydrogen atom is one of the smallest of all elements and has as much antioxidant power as the large, complex compounds described above. Since the H- form is prevalent in nature it could be called an ever-present antioxidant. Hydrogen, when in the hydride (a compound of negative hydrogen and other elements) state, is found in most fresh fruits and vegetable, as well as, in actively moving water.

A barefoot walk on the beach will load you up with negative hydrogen ions, and it can be a great way to connect with nature and feel emotionally balanced too! The Ionic Footbath creates precisely the same environment as the walk along the beach, only more powerful because your feet come in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the water. Place your feet in the water, turn on the unit and within seconds, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize acidic tissue wastes.
Cellular conductivity
The living system contains numerous chemical messengers that carry information and trigger events in metabolism. Virtually every action that takes place in your body requires communication of chemical messages from one cell to another, conducted by electrons passing through extra cellular fluids. An optimal level of conductivity in these fluids is essential to life and all activity. Albert Sent-Gyorgl, the Nobel Laureate who discovered Vitamin C, found that the tissues of the animal body store hydrogen in vast quantities. Different organ tissues pool hydrogen in different amounts. For example, he found that the order of hydrogen pooling is:


Liver tissues store the most hydrogen, while the spleen stores the least. This is interesting in view of the fact that the liver is your body’s first line of defense and needs a supply of the most antioxidants in order to do its work of detoxification.

Transport of hydrogen is the missing factor in western medicine’s search for the cause of the aging process and the secret to age reversal. As we grow older, our cells become dehydrated and our hydrogen pool becomes depleted. The hydrogen pool protects our cells from free-radical damage. Free radicals are responsible for the aging process. There is a paradox here, and that is the fact that oxygen is the source of all life and is also the major cause of aging. Much effort is being expended to find powerful antioxidants that may control or reverse cell damage by oxidative free radicals. The single factor that is common to all antioxidants is that they are sources of hydrogen. Hydrogen is the ultimate antioxidant.

Carbon Cycle
We have all heard about the carbon cycle in biology. The carbon cycle is the process by which plants use sunlight and water to create carbohydrates and other foodstuffs. These are then used as food by animals that eat the plants. Animals exhale carbon dioxide gas, which is then taken up by the plants. The plants then use the carbon to make more carbohydrates, proteins and lipids (fats), which then serve as animal food. The carbon cycle could actually be renamed the hydrogen cycle. Plants create carbohydrates, proteins and lipids by attaching hydrogen to carbon atoms like hats on a hat-rack. Carbohydrates contain an equal amount of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. We can say that all the foods that nourish us are primarily sources of hydrogen. We can see that the life cycle is really a hydrogen cycle. The ‘burning of the hydrogen’ is a secret of life. The burning of hydrogen controls your life energy.

Free hydrogen that is released from carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are carried into the mitochondria (power plant in each of your cells) by a process known as the hydrogen shuttle where they are used to make ATP. In this process, hydrogen is burned by oxygen, releasing energy. The final product from the burning of hydrogen is water. The circle of life on the planet continues as this extra water is eliminated from your body and is eventually taken up by plants and split by photosynthesis to make more carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. In biological systems, hydrogen and electrons travel together in pairs. When this combination meets up with a positively charged cell-damaging free radical, the hydrogen may react with the free radical and neutralize it so that no further cell damage may occur.

Since hydrogen bonds are the ‘glue’ that holds together the molecules in the DNA double helix, these bonds can be activated and energized. As we age, the DNA helix coils tighter and tighter, loosing flexibility. This contraction of the DNA coil may reduce the number of times that our cells can divide. Normally, our cells can only divide about 50 times before they cease reproduction. If we are able to loosen the DNA helix by activating the DNA hydrogen bonds, it will have a profound effect on our ability to increase the regeneration of our cells. The DNA helix floats in water and is therefore hydrated. The tightening of the helix with aging may be a reflection of the loss of the hydrogen pool with aging. By restoring a plentiful supply of the hydrogen pool, these spirals naturally unwind and regain their ability to stimulate cellular reproduction. Symptoms of hydrogen depletion include chronic fatigue, depression, hormone imbalances and indigestion. As our tissues are depleted of hydrogen, they become stiff and lose flexibility. Dehydrated tendons and muscles tear more easily and dehydrated bones become brittle. Loss of lung flexibility leads to loss of oxygen. By replenishing our hydrogen store, we can relieve many of these conditions brought about by hydrogen depletion.

The Liver
-Controls the production and removal of cholesterol.
-Clears your blood of waste products, drugs, and other poisonous substances.
- Makes clotting factors to stop excessive bleeding after cuts or injuries.
- Produces immune factors and removes bacteria from the bloodstream to combat infection.
-Releases bile to help digest food and absorb important nutrients.

The liver is one of the most important organs in your body when it comes to detoxifying or getting rid of foreign substance or toxins. The antioxidant, Glutathione is the most abundant sulfhydryl (a sulfur atom bonded with a hydrogen atom) in your body and its function is to chelate and detoxify heavy metals. Mercury and lead have also been shown to combine with glutathione. Once combined together, bile becomes a major route used by your body to excrete the compound, thereby reducing the amount of glutathione available. The primary source of the sulfur portion of cysteine, is methionine, both of which are sulfur containing amino acids. Methionine is an "Atherosclerosis"atherosclerosis better known as ‘hardening of the arteries’. Unfortunately, cancer cells utilize methionine in order to grow and proliferate.

Cancer or tumor dependence on methionine for growth is an artificial condition, brought about by some earlier failure in the trans-sulfuratin and transmethylation pathways. Therefore, if the availability of methionine is reduced, not only will the capability of the liver to detoxify be impaired, but there will also be less glutathione available to combine with foreign substances. Studies have demonstrated that a deficiency of methionine can, in itself, cause liver cancer without the presence of a carcinogen, and also the deficiency of methionine can permit a heavy metal to cause toxic effects.

The Colon
The colon has the job of ridding the body of waste. If the colon does not release these impurities, they cannot get out. According to some estimates, about 70 million Americans suffer from bowel problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to cause them to consult a medical doctor. Your body’s tissues will not eliminate wastes unless the colon is working.
The bodily systems are connected. When the colon is cleaned out, your body will start pulling poisons out from every part of your body, because it now can. Wastes from the colon can leak and pollute other organs. Other organs can be treated with natural methods with some positive results, but they may not stay clean and free from infection or irritation because of poisoning from the toxic colon. An impacted colon can create diverticulitis, which are herniation or pockets in the wall of the colon that contain fecal matter. If it stays in there long enough, it will leak into your body and cause what is called autointoxication. Diverticulitis cannot usually be detected inside the colon with a colonoscope. They can leak pus, blood and fecal matter back into the bloodstream.

When the body is toxic, the cells cannot receive nutrients from the blood because interstitial fluid surrounding the cells is plugged-up with wastes from the sluggish lymphatic system. The internal poisoning also causes mental depression and morbid thoughts. It is a vicious cycle.

If the colon does not go through this process of purification the other organs cannot rid themselves of their waste. Cleansing can lead to vibrant health!

The Kidneys
The kidneys perform the life-sustaining job of filtering and returning to the bloodstream about 200 quarts of fluid every 24 hours. This it must do despite a varying outside environment, and varying output. A part of this task is to remove from your body some of the waste by-products of metabolism which the cells cannot break down further. Thus the principle function of the kidney is not excretion but regulation.

Our cells are carefully tucked away in a carefully preserved ocean of extra cellular fluid, whose composition is guarded with exquisite accuracy by the kidneys, even when we put it through rigors such as drinking a six-pack of beer, drinking nothing, starving or gorging ourselves. The kidneys keep our extra cellular fluid in constant composition. And because of this, the composition of the cells themselves is constant.

The kidneys can survive on as little as 5% overall function. But why worry about that now that you know you can cleanse them in many ways, including the Ionic Footbath?

Lymphatic System
Nearly 80% of your total body weight is water when you were born. Let’s go on the assumption that you are still 80% water. That would mean that one-third of your body fluid is extra cellular, meaning outside the cells. But only 12% of your body fluid is blood and 62% of your body fluid is outside the cells. What that means is that 36% of your fluid is lymph fluid. Lymph fluid surrounds cells. It is the cell’s environment. There is three times more lymph fluid in your body than blood. Not all cells are surrounded by water. Bone minerals surround the bone cells. But all cells depend directly on extra cellular water for food. The lymph fluid, through miniscule channels, feeds even bone cells.

When waste material leaves your body cells, the two circulating body fluids, the blood and the lymph fluid, carry it away. The lymph fluid is formed out of the blood, but contains no red blood cells. Each cell in your body is bathed by the interstitial fluid, which consists of material from the bloodstream together with substances flushed out of cells, about 90% of the water and small molecules entering the interstitial fluid from the bloodstream are re-absorbed by local blood vessels. The remaining 10% of the water and small molecules plus protein, other large molecules and particles in the interstitial fluid collect in a network of tiny vessels.

The lymph vessels flow into larger ducts that eventually empty back into the blood stream. The lymph vessels contain one-way valves and are lined with muscle tissue that pumps the lymph through these valves. Because the lymphatic system carries away toxins from all body cells, its proper functioning is important to the health of your entire body. Lymph fluid is filled with nutrients on their way to the cells. Waste products are cast off by the cell hormones and enzymes.

Cells are able to function better with fresh lymph fluid filled with the proper concentration of hydrogen, oxygen, glucose and other nutrients. Valves exist in all lymph channels. In the large lymphatic,valves exist every few millimeters, and in the smaller lymphatic, the valves are much closer than this. When filmed, the exposed lymph vessels show that when a lymph vessel becomes stretched with fluid, the smooth muscles in the wall of the vessel automatically contract.

Furthermore, each segment of the lymph vessel between successive valves functions as separate automatic pump. That is, the filling of a segment causes it to contract and the fluid is pumped through the valve to the next lymph segment. This fills the subsequent segment and a few seconds later, it too contracts. The process continues all along the lymphatic system until the fluid is finally emptied back into the blood stream from the thoracic duct (the largest lymphatic vessel in the body) into the vena cava (large veins that bring blood back to the heart) right underneath the collarbone. Fresh supplies replace the waste products underneath the collarbones. When fresh supplies replace the waste products of cells, the cells are healthier and so are you! The removal of the proteins from the interstitial spaces is an absolutely essential function, without which we would die within 24 hours. The colon is the principal organ through which mucoid matter from the lymph is eliminated.

When the lymphatic system becomes extremely full of mucoid material, a pressure is created that is felt all over your body. It starts as a tension in the muscles that becomes an aching of the muscles as the pressure increases. One function of a fever is to thin the lymph mucoid, improving its ability to flow and to pass through the walls of the colon. All lymph-purifying influences reduce fever by lessening the necessity for using fever to thin the lymph. If the colon cannot perform the necessary rate of purification of the lymph, then your body uses the liver to do the work instead.
The toxins taken up by the liver are excreted as part of the bile. When the flow of the bile becomes excessive, bile backs up into the stomach, and the result is nausea. Now we can see how problems can originate when the colon becomes clogged. When this happens, waste material gets backed up into the lymphatic system. As this process continues, waste material gets backed up into your body tissues and disease can result. This process can affect any body part because the lymphatic system serves all your body’s cells.

Your Body’s Infinite Wisdom
Your body wants to live forever; it wants to be free from all pain and illness; it actively desires complete healing to take place within it at all times. Your body is your partner in your effort to regain health. Your body has the innate capacity, knowledge and wisdom to heal itself at any time if it is allowed to do so. Your body possesses its own healing ability and the wisdom to direct this ability. The only thing we must do is let your body conduct its work with as little interference as possible. We can furnish it with the highest quality raw foods and water or abstain from food when it does not desire it. We can exercise and rest our bodies, and give it fresh air and sunshine. Other than that, all we can really do is wait patiently and intelligently and not become alarmed by the symptoms of its healing or try to suppress those symptoms even if we are healing heart disease, cancer, AIDS or any other degenerative condition.

If you have faith and trust in your body’s ability to heal, the unpleasant symptoms, which may accompany this healing, become more bearable and are not a source of fear or misgivings. Ultimately, we must let our body perform its health restoring work at its own pace. The real doctor is within your body and is capable of performing all the healing needed. The cellular intelligence driving your body is infinite in its capacity! We need not have any fears about its wisdom or ability to restore itself to the highest possible level of health and well-being.
