Ion Detox Footbath

What is an ion footbath for? In today’s toxic environment, tissue acid wastes, chemical and heavy metal residues build up in the body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies and stress. Today, we are hearing more about detoxification programs by alternative health practitioners as a way of reducing symptoms and maintaining health. How does ionization work? Ionization has been used for many decades. However, the concept of using ionization in a foot bath is a relatively new idea. Similar phenomena occur while walking along a beach or near a waterfall. Ions are generated by the movement of the water molecules. The same reactions are created with the Ion Detox Footbath. What is a session like? Feet are placed in a footbath of warm water and dead sea salt. An array goes into the footbath with the feet, and the main unit delivers a small direct current into the array, which, in combination with the water and salt, generates positive or negative charged ions. These ions neutralize charged particles in the body. The neutralized particles are pulled out of the body through the pores of the skin via osmosis and diffusion. Osmosis and diffusion involve the movement of particles through a membrane, from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration is the ion field set up by the array in the water. Research In addition to many positive testimonials from clients, there have been studies to test the efficacy of ionization in footbaths. Some studies have reported high heavy metals present in the water following the footbath, and Dr. Carlos Lopez-Moreno, M.D. conducted a study which showed the presence of urea, creatinine and glucose in the water after an ion footbath treatment.

Cancer Wellness Spa of Greater Rochester

Cancer Wellness Spa on youtube: Eileen Grossman's Inspirational Speech at the Highland Hospital Gala http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=vZ57XSV8Lrk The Cancer Wellness Spa of Greater Rochester was founded in May, 2006 by Dr. Cynthia Angel, Dr. Brent DuBeshter, and Eileen Grossman who realized the necessity for all cancer patients to have diversionary activities while receiving chemotherapy treatments. Chemotherapy can be emotionally, mentally and physically taxing. It is commonly associated with unpleasant side affects. Providing these activities allows the patients the opportunity to have a more positive experience. The Cancer Wellness Spa is not a place but a program, where services are brought into the treatment center. After three years of serving patients at the Lucy DiPerna treatment room at 125 Lattimore Road, the program moved and expanded to serve patients at the Highland Hospital Infusion Center. At Highland Hospital, spa services include manicures, makeovers, skin care, scarf and wig demonstrations, personal training and hearty snacks. In addition to the Highland Hospital Infusion Center, the Cancer Wellness Spa through its Better Day Buddies program runs a companion program at the Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong for children while they are receiving outpatient treatment. The program provides craft bags which include a book and project which the child takes home. Better Days Buddies has also provided electronic games for the children to use as well as bringing in guest performers and local celebrities to entertain the patients. Lunch is served for the children and their families. All food and services are provided at both locations at no charge to the patients and their families.
