IonCleanse for Good Health

By Cindy Knight

When my husband had a heart attack two years ago, he was forced to quit smoking. I was happy that he recovered, and equally happy that he was quitting smoking. But I didn’t expect to wake up every morning around four o’clock coughing. I thought my lungs would gradually release twenty years of built up toxins. It became obvious that this was not going to happen.

While trying to decide how best to detox my lungs a friend dropped by with her new Ion Cleanse Foot Bath, and offered me a session. After just one relaxing session I went an entire week without waking up and coughing in the night. After six sessions, the water that had started out as dark brown and black had turned to orange and my middle of the night coughing spells had stopped completely.

How does it work?

The Ionizer is a safe, effective way to help your body detoxify naturally. Toxins that build in the body are left to be cleaned by the blood, lymphatic system, and vital organs. Those which cannot be cleaned, attach themselves wherever they can. These acidic toxins may build up in the fat cells, joints, muscles, and organs such as the liver and kidneys. The Ionizer helps to eliminate these toxins by allowing them to escape through a unique process.

Similar to a foot bath, the Ionizer uses water as the conductive medium. The conductivity of ions in the water allows for a mild field of energy to flow from an array in the bath through the feet and around the whole body. The field created by the Ionizer gradually attracts toxic ions from the body. These toxic ions migrate toward the feet and through the skin by a process called osmosis, where they enter the water.

Essentially the Ionizer functions as a magnet to help your body detoxify by trapping toxic particles in the water. The process is painless, non-invasive, and requires no pills, supplements, or medications to work effectively.

Studies show that an overall balancing effect occurs along with a feeling of well-being as a result of toxins being released from the body.

Benefits may include:

  • Heavy metal removal
  • Faster recovery times
  • Increased oxygen levels
  • Pain relief
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduced fluid retention
  • Headache relief

Who needs to detoxify?

If you eat, drink, and breathe, there is a good chance you need to detoxify. With today’s processed acidic foods, air pollution, water pollution, and stresses it’s hard to comprehend how much toxicity we expose ourselves to on a daily basis.

Toxic, acidic bodies are the ideal environment for viral and bacterial infections, and many diseases thrive. These infections and diseases are unable to thrive in clean, alkaline bodies.

The IonCleanse footbath sessions will support any cleansing modality and reduces discomfort that may be associated with other detoxification methods.

An Ion cleanse typically takes thirty minutes and can be repeated on a weekly basis until you have removed the toxins that contribute to your symptoms.

Maintenance cleansing on a monthly basis will help your body continue to detox itself.

Contraindications:

  • Anyone with a pacemaker or other battery-operated or electrical implant
  • Those on heartbeat regulating medication
  • Organ transplant recipients
  • Any person who is taking medication, the absence of which would mentally or physically incapacitate them (psychotic episodes, epileptic seizures, etc.)
  • Ladies who are pregnant.

The following recommendations should be considered:

  • Many medications require that a blood level be maintained in order to be effective (blood pressure regulating medication). An IonCleanse session should be scheduled prior to taking medications.
  • Clients with low blood sugar will need to have eaten before beginning the session.
  • While pregnant or lactating women have used the IonCleanse without harm we recommend not bathing these clients.
  • As a general rule, you can use the IonCleanse with patients on dialysis, taking insulin, or experiencing congestive heart failure. Gentle detoxification will help the body to eliminate the toxins that the kidney and heart cannot eliminate on their own and will not interfere with medications or deplete insulin levels.
  • Clients who have had a metal joint implant may find the exposure to an electromagnetic field uncomfortable.
