Hi Guys--this is a QUESTION not a criticism:
I have used DMSO with CS on a Q-tip to suave across the base of my big toe-just once (I have mild toe nail fungus) I thought about soaking my feet, HOWEVER-There is so much talk about drinking and re-using plastic containers, my question is--how do you make sure the plastic container you're soaking in is safe???? And can any plastic particles be carried into your body by DMSO????

I have seen that it consists of a center electrode like a straight wire or bar with another electrode wrapped in a spiral around the first electrode spaced about an inch away with insulators. I have not been able to determine if its AC or DC though I assume its DC (but it might be positive or negative pulses, I have no idea). Nor have I found the voltage listed anywhere or if its current limited for safety. Does anyone have the specifics on this or know of a site that lists the electrical specs?

I bought an ionic foot bath several years ago for myself after testing several models. They were invented by an Australian more than 10 years ago. He has been copied and now there is a wide price range from those for the home ($150 US) to professional modesl (++ $2,000 US). You get what you pay for, however, the main difference is the quality of the metals used to make the array and its size (stainless steel, steel and copper). It's just a plastic basin, a transformer, a timer, an array and two cords. I'm sure someone of the Silver list could tell us how to make one for $30 or less. :) The cheaper models are not as effective for detox; they still do the job, you just have to do more sessions to get the same result. The baths definitely draw out toxins. You can see them and smell them in the bath water. Still, they will not detox your body overnight or in three sessions. I don't know of anything that will. Some precautions: Do not use them if you have a pacemaker or dental implants. You need to take a mineral supplement if you do a series of foot baths, because they draw out minerals along with everything else. Never do more than two a week. An infra red sauna will do the same thing and more, but then it's not in the same price range. ______________ I once met an elderly gentleman from Virginia who was head of the department of pediatrics at the Univ. of Richmond, He soaked his feet in warm water with epsom salts every night and he swore those nightly foot baths were the reason he had never been sick a day in his life. It's worth a try. It's nice to see you back, Mike! Blessings, Carlene
