Ionic Cleansing
IONIC CLEANSING
Detoxing for Wellness – Two Feet at a Time!
Congratulations on your decision to begin positive, healthy lifestyle changes! The
following are commonly asked questions and answers regarding the ionic cleanse unit
including how it works and what you can do to optimize the benefits!
· How Does It Work?
An ion is a charged atom that has either gained or lost an electron. This creates a
magnetic field around the atom, making it capable of attaching to and neutralizing
oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body
through osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term used to describe the movement of particles
through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher
concentration. In this case your body has a lower concentration than the ionic water and
therefore particles move from your body, through your largest organ (your skin), out of
your pores and into the water.
Due to poor diet, high stress and a toxic environment, we tend to accumulate and store
excessive quantities of waste products. According to Dr. Theodore Baroody, author
of Alkalize or Die, acid wastes attack joints, muscles, organs and glands causing minor to
major dysfunction. He asserts that avoiding disease and maintaining vitality requires the
maintenance of an alkaline environment throughout the body. This is virtually impossible
to accomplish in our high-tech, high-stress, toxic society. Walking along the beach is a
natural way to alkalize the body. The ocean water releases negatively charged ions that
are absorbed by the body and neutralize acid waste. The ionic cleanse unit recreates this
process, only on a more powerful level using millions of charge ions at a time!
The electricity is created with a device we call an array. The array is set into the water
alongside the hands, feet, or body and pulses a low level current into the water. This
causes the metals within the array, in combination with water and salt, to generate positive
and negative ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water. This process creates
an “ionic fog” directly around the array where you can actually see the oxygen and
hydrogen atoms separating. (Ask your cleanse technician to point this out!) The ionic
cleanse detoxifies the body more effectively and faster than any herbal or fasting
protocols with little to no stress to the patient! So to put it simply, the ionic cleanse unit
gently removes toxins from the body through osmosis!
· What Does It Do?
The ionic cleanse unit eliminates impurities and toxins from the body on a cellular level. It
pulls from the nerves, glands, muscles, organs, tissues, joints and arteries to remove cellular
debris and impurities such as:
- Heavy metals - Unassimilated proteins
- Partially oxidized fats - Cholesterol deposits
- Acid waste - Parasites
· Who Would Benefit?
Individuals that might notice the most improvement in their health status would be those
that are:
- Experiencing chronic pain
- Suffering from arthritis or fibromyalgia
- Suffering from fatigue or burnout
- Afflicted with allergies
- Under severe stress
- Recovering from an accident or surgery
- Athletes with lactic acid toxicity
- Needing to conquer ADD/ADHD
- Living with autism
- Desiring to slow the aging process
- On the path to optimal health
· What Should I Expect?
Healthy individuals may benefit by feeling lighter with a heightened sense of well being
following each cleanse. Those afflicted with pain, edema and swollen or deteriorating
joints are likely to experience symptomatic relief. Cleansing can be a lot for some bodies
to handle and some individuals have reported feeling exhausted following a cleanse. On
the other hand, many feel re-energized and refreshed following their cleanse session.
Your cleanse water will most likely turn many different colors. Foam may gather on top of
the water. It may smell. In fact, it may smell pretty bad. This is because trapped gasses
may be removed from the body and cells may release gas as they die off. This is all very
normal, so please do not be embarrassed.
· Do I Have To Use My Feet?
Because cleansing pulls from your skin, which is your largest organ, you could use any
part of your skin and, therefore, any part of your body. One could cleanse their hands,
knees or elbows. We use feet for two reasons: It is the most comfortable and they have
the largest pores.
· Will This Interfere With My Medications?
Cleansing does not interfere with most medications. However, it can reduce the levels of
medications in the blood. Those that are taking life-sustaining medications or have a
pacemaker cannot cleanse. Please inform the cleanse technician of any medications you
are currently taking.
· What Do You Put In The Water?
We may have added a dash of sea salt to your water because salt increases to water’s
conductivity, allowing ions to move more freely. Other than that, nothing has been
added! (If you were to cleanse a tub of water with no feet in it, the water would turn a
shade of yellow or orange depending on the minerals in the tap water.)
· How Often Can I Cleanse?
As a general rule (although it may vary depending on personal situations), if you are under
fifty or working to reduce serious pain or inflammation, you may cleanse up to three times a
week. Those that are over fifty should not cleanse any more than twice a week. Your
body needs time in between sessions to restore electrolyte balance and provide energy
for the healing process.
· Why Are Treatments Done As A Series?
Each cleanse builds on the last to draw deeper into the system.
· What Happens After The Series?
Some individuals require ongoing treatments on a weekly or monthly basis to maintain
symptom relief. If you are able to make the recommended lifestyle and dietary changes,
you may repeat the cleanse as much as once every six months.
· Why Do You Insist I Drink So Much Water?
Water continues and enhances the detoxification process even after the cleanse session
by transporting toxins out of the body. We cannot stress enough the importance of
water, not only for detoxification but also for overall health. On a daily basis, one should
be drinking half of their body weight in ounces a day. (Ex. A 150-pound person should
be drinking 75 ounces of water a day!) This amount should increase when detoxifying.
· How Does Nutrition Tie In?
It takes extra vitamins and minerals to rebuild and nourish the body after detoxifying. In
today’s society, the average person is not even consuming the minimum levels for basic
health. Therefore, when going through a detoxification process, supplementing with
whole vitamins and minerals may be vital for the bodies’ ability to rebuild.
· What Does It Cost?
If you purchase individual sessions the cost is $35 per cleanse.
If you purchase a series of 10 the cost is $300 – a savings of $50.00
