Has anyone used those detox pads that go on your feet?

Question

I saw them on tv and now in the drugstore. Any one used them or know how they work? How do we know there isn't some chemical in there, once in contact with skin, it turns a color leading us to think its pulled something out? And why the feet?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I have used them it is suppose to dry pain from ur body.

I don't know if it does that but in the morning they look pretty gross!

After I used when had the cool yet warm feelin- like I had rubbed Icey Hot all over my feet.

I didn't feel any better tho.

Don't waste ur money!

Answer 2

I've tried them and, to be honest, I don't feel any better now that I used them than before I used them. Of course, the sellers will say that I didn't use them long enough, that you need to use them for 2 or 3 or even 6 months to see a difference in your health.

I personally don't know about that but I can tell you that my brother also tried them and my pads smelled like a dirty ashtray in the morning even though I haven't smoked in years. My brother's did NOT smell like a dirty ashtray and he's never been a smoker.

Why would my pads smell different than my brother's if they're from the same company and basically the same thing? Could they have pulled old smoker's toxins from my body? I don't know but I'm seriously thinking of trying them again even though most people will say they're a scam.

SCAM - Beware

Answer 5

I saw a report on the news about them. It was a scientific study proving they don't do a thing. The idea of detoxing that way doesn't really make any sense medically so I'm not surprised.

Answer 6

Detox to me seems to work better from the inside - out.  I don't see what could be in them that would extract toxins from the body.  To remove toxins there would have to be something internal to get it out.  When we work, exercise, exert ourselves the body sweats, when we take a colon cleanse it releases that part of the body.
