Ionic Oasis - Blog on Ionic Foot Baths: What have Ionic Foot Bath Sessions Done For You?
I had a full-hysterectomy in June 2006 and after I got out of the hospital (3 days later) I did a foot bath. I felt so good that I forgot that I just had major surgery. I got reprimanded by my doctor for doing to much and not taking time to heal. I felt so great that I didn't even have to take my pain killers. I felt my recovery time was aided by the foot bath treatments that I was receiving.

Back in 2002 I had a heart attack. I needed to be "paddled" 3 times to revive me and restart my heart. I spent 11 days in ICU with my family holding onto memories of me as I lay there, with tubes for oxygen, blood gas, IV, catheter and repirator breathing for me as I could not for myself coming into every part of my body. I was just 35 yrs. of age at that time. From the massive amount (they used the highest) of electrical current received by the defibrillator to bring me back to the land of the living I sustained long term neurological damage to my nerve endings throughout my body.
For 5 long years afterward I suffered with a daily feeling of feeling "cooked" from the inside out. It never went away. I ate and drank and everything tasted burnt. It was aweful and I was devastated as I asked myself daily, "Is this as good as it gets?" After 5 LONG years of suffering internally and mentally feeling like there was no hope to change the way I constantly felt I found out about and tried the Ionic Oasis Foot Spa System and after the very first treatment session was completed I knew this technology was truly "for real" and "really works". I literally went from one state of existing to another in less than 1 hour although it was a gradual feeling of lightness and one of true well being, the ionic effect stayed with me for several days after my first use, and I continued to feel better which was something that, before that day of my first Ionic Foot Bath I honestly hadn't felt in over 5 years. I literally went from a 5 year feeling of being "burnt" from the "inside out" to a feeling of being back "on my game again". I can't speak highly enough about the equipment either. It really works and works well. How do I know? Because I put two of these Ionic PRO units to the task of operating in my Day Spa everday. These systems are built right and built from the ground up to take daily abuse and wear and tear without skipping a beat!
They really are a cornerstone of our business and they are an integral part of the pulse of our business. If someone stole our units we would order new equipment immediately as we don't want to be a day without them. Hope this testimonial helps someone. As they say "Pay It Forward" Thank You

I'm just wondering. We have all seen the many testimonials about this technology. However I'm concerned that I have not seen any chemical analysis of the by product. Pictures of murky water do not indicate heavy metals from a scientific standpoint.
Thanks

Can anyone answer this question from Sean? I would like to hear about the same analysis of of the by products. Surely this has been done.
Thanks
Reply to this
Yes I agree with Debi...have there been any kind of analysis done on the byproducts left in the water?
Thanks to anyone who can answer this for Sean, Debi and myself...possibly many others aswell.

We have not nor, have we found credible chemical analysis of the water after a detox session. If you have surfed our website you will see that we do not provide a color chart like our competitors, nor do we make false promises about what it can do. We state the facts as we know them.
We know the water will contain minerals if tested 1) there are impurities in the water supply, 2) the element usage, 3) salt is a mineral which is added to create conductivity in the water to create the electrolysis process.
What we do know is after a detox session your body will eliminate toxins naturally for several days. That is why we recommend up to 3 sessions per week. We also know by hair analysis and blood tests that our foot baths have not only reduced levels of mercury and lead in clients it also reduced essential minerals, which is why we recommend taking a good supplement while undergoing detox sessions to help aide you system to replace what has been removed.
The purpose of detoxing is to reduce your acidic level and raise your pH level.
You can use the pH test strips to test this. Before using the detox foot bath, test your pH level make sure you follow instructions on packaging for testing.
Then do your foot bath, and test again at the end of your foot bath again following recommended instructions on package. You should see your pH level has improved.
We have a lot of information on our homepage and health facts page, as well as written documentation on our blog http://ionicoasis-blogspot.ionicoasis.com/2007/05/21/ionic-foot-bath-research.aspx an excerpt taken from the article printed in CAM magazine in September 2005 and has been reproduced with the permission of Dr Sanjay Chaudhuri and CAM magazine.
The simple truth is...it is not about the water, it is about the neutralization of free radicals and many other impurities and toxins all of which are positively charged and seeking a negative charge which when obtained will render them neutral. This is accomplished by way of electrolysis and the production of negative and positive ions.
All people have more positive than negative ions in their body so the ion generation simply equalizes the negative ions and positive ions putting the body in balance or in what is called a state of “CHI”. This allows the negative ions to seek out an impure particle neutralizing it at which time the body will readily eliminate these toxins naturally.

I just used the ionic oasis for the first time and felt a little bit dizzy, a little bit nautious. I can only believe that this is a positive side effect having something to do with my body ionizing to a negatively charged state. Has anyone else had this feeling as well? Thanks for your comments.

Hi my name is Tamera and I also had that problem also. I was told that it didin't matter if I had the 30 minute or the 40 minute, but to take 10 minutes off the time. (I was using the 40 minute and cut it down to 30). I no longer felt tired/dizzy and sick to my stomach. You should try it also, and Good Luck it is worth it!

I would like to comment on the color of the water. The first time I used the foot bath I also had my mother who is 83 years old , my sister and a friend of hers try it with me. We all did a treatment for 40 minutes. After the treatment none of us experienced any dizziness, only that our legs felt lighter. The color and content of the water was very different for each of us, the murky water (a kind of sludge) does indicate that different results occurred with the four of us, if not, the results would be the same as we used the same water and same amount of salt in all 4 of the treatments. I can say truthfully that we enjoyed the foot bath and will continue to look forward to the next treatments.

Has any testing been done to compare the ionic oasis detox footbath to other manufacturers? There is a huge price difference between companies? I've even saw a model that has a belt for the treating person which "charges" the body w/ positive ions, claiming that is required to pull the impurities out with the negatively charged footbath. Is anyone familiar with this model and/or had experience using other brands and have an opinion on effecacy of each?

Hi Roger,
This is Sherry with Ionic Oasis. I am not sure if you have had a chance to visit our Footbath Results page but on that site we have our footbath results as well as our personal results using the EB Cleanse and Ion Cleanse.
If you go to the website and move your cursor to More Info, you will get a drop down list where you can click on Foot Bath Results. On that page click on the blue hyper link Clinical Results to see results of the EB Cleanse and Ion Cleanse. I am sure these footbaths work just fine, however; we felt either they did not use enough salt or the elements seriously needed to be replaced. We were paying $200.00 a person for 10 sessions each and were disappointed in the weak results.
It was these results which prompted us to make a more effective product at a price everyone could afford. We simply sell the Detox technology and not all the bells and whistles everyone else does. As far as the fir belts, you don't need them. If you really want to understand the process of Detoxing please read our homepage. Steven Haase has published 3 articles on this subject and has won 3 citations for his articles.
I hope others will comment on your question as well. I am interested in finding out what other peoples results using ours and theirs are as well.

My friend was quite skeptical when he saw my unit to the point that he was smarting off about quackery devices. He suffers from diabetes; his main complaints are that he cannot get enough sleep at night because of the burning sensation he experiences with his feet. I some how talked him into trying a session of 40 minutes. The next morning he called and said that he slept well because his feet did not hurt. Each treatment stops his feet from hurting for anywhere from 3 days to a week. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these types of results. When I was researching the Ionic Oasis I was impressed with what they have done by eliminating all of those extra bells and whistles the other companies offer. It is the simplicity of these units that I like the most.

Hello Duane,
This is Sherry. I hope many of our other customers that have purchased our footbaths for their loved ones with diabetes do respond. I thought I would tell you about a dealer of ours who is a Chiropractor in CA. He called because he had a friend who lived in another State that came to visit him because his feet were ulcerated and his doctors wanted to amputate both feet. Dr. Lubecki gave his diabetic friend footbath treatments which cleared up his ulcerations and his doctors were shocked that his feet were healed. Dr. Lubecki than purchased his friend his own footbath and requested that we drop ship to his friends home location so he could continue footbaths at home. To the best of my knowledge his friend has not had to have the surgery his doctors wanted to perform 6 months ago.

I used the footbath several days ago and I felt a stinging, something like an electrical shock at my ankles. After about 25 minutes I had to remove my feet because I was anything but relaxed. Has anyone experienced this and what is the solution to this problem
Reply to this
The senation you are describing is generally due to to much salt in the water and the stinging should stop by reducing the salt a little. However; there are two other reasons why you may feel it around your ankles and not on your feet as well. If you recently shaved your legs the skin can be slightly chaffed, or if you have any sores around your ankles. The senation you should feel is a slight tingling feeling, however; some people or more senative to the feeling and it feels more like a shock. Try reducing the salt by using 3/4 of a scoop and see if that makes a difference.

I had a foot bath for the first time last week. I had just got back from a vacation of shopping in NYC and my feet were extreamly sore, so I booked a appointment and tried it out. I can only say that it was the best thing I have done in a really long time, my feet felt great I also took a multi vitamin and extra vitamin C as well as rescue remedy drops,and drank lots of water. All in all I felt so good and have booked my second appointment.

I broke my ankle a few years ago and now have screw, bolts in that ankle. Am I still able to use this foot bath?

Dear Agnes,
thank you very much for your question first of all as you may know already we are not medical experts and cannot provide medical advice. Having said that we would suggest that you should contact your doctor preferably one that understands this technology and he would be able to provide you with the correct answer. In my personal opinion I would assume that if screws were added to a broken ankle and it has been a few years it has had plenty of time to heal itself. The doctor may very well tell you that the screws are still there however they are no longer serving any useful purpose. If this is the case it probably will not matter if the screws are deteriorated by the Ionic detox process. Hopefully this answer will help you and your doctor may provide you with the information you need. Steve

I had my first foot bath yesterday and my positive result was mainly in my eyes. I went for a walk afterwards and felt much more clarity in my vision. Colors seemed brighter and my vision sharper. Today I went outside without my sunglasses which I wear even on a rainy day as daylight somewhat bothers me. I could not beleive that I was comfortable without my sunglasses on and the daylight did not bother me at all. I drove around comfortably not missing my sunglasses one bit. I found this really very interesting.

I loaned my Ionic Oasis foot detox to my boss to try. She tried it twice and both times her feet swelled up and were painful. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do to alleviate it? I had given her very detailed instructions on how to use the detox and she said she follow them. I have never experienced anything like this.

After about 14 sessions of foot bath, I experienced a drying of the eyes that literally put me in bed. I could only lie still with medicine in my eyes, and this lasted for a week. It did not happen gradually. There was no associated illness. Gradually the pain improved and was almost gone, did another foot bath and was down for the count again. I can't reconcile the foot bath and its association to the extremely painful dry eyes, not only the eyes but the whole area which contain the tear glands. It felt without touching it like a bad sunburn and was unbearably painful to touch. There was no other factor in my life to account for this response, although I do have Sjogren's Syndrome, which causes dry eyes in and of itself. In all my years with the illness, I have never had anything that remotely resembled what I experienced here. Has anyone else ever had this kind of reaction?
