I came across an interesting study by a guy named Dr. Richard Lloyd, Ph.D. He’s done some research on how mold and Lyme toxins build up in your body, and he’s done some research on more alternative treatment methods.
Nearly a quarter of the Earth’s population cannot produce the antibodies needed to fight mold toxins once they enter their system. So those who are continually exposed to mold toxins gradually accumulate increasing amounts of these toxins in their bodies. If you can smell mold in your home, you may be at risk.
Symptoms of these diseases are inflammation, loss of sexual desire, uncontrollable weight gain, brain fog, and flu-like symptoms. Other symptoms are cold hands and feet, gluten intolerance and chronic pain.
Conventional medication can cause bloating, digestive discomfort, and constipation in most patients. There are supplements that can be taken, such as peach extract. In short, you must avoid mold.
Dr. Lloyd claims that the use of Japanese foot detox patches has helped eliminate mold toxins very quickly and without side effects. Ionic foot baths have also been shown to be effective and fast. He recommends using two baths, one for each foot.
He tells of one of his patients who was so weakened by mold swelling that the patient could not move. He used foot detox patches, 10 in all, for five sessions. Shortly afterward he went out to mow the church lawn. He ran out of patches, and as he continued to live in the same circumstances, the pain and swelling returned.
So he decided to use the Ionic footbath. He also decided to use detoxifying oil and a diffuser to remove mold from his home. Both times he was able to get good results.
This is just one case study I have come across while researching the feasibility and honesty of foot detox products and procedures. I must admit I am in two minds about the whole thing. One side, the logical side, tells me this is a scam. My more creative side, or maybe my wishful thinking side, tells me that there may be possibilities here. I felt better after trying the patches, but like I said, it was an illusion, the placebo effect.
