Why is HERTZ important?

OPTIMUM detox units run at 10,000 Hertz and NOT 60 Hertz: – Most of the units out in the market operate at 60 hertz which is a resonant frequency of a healthy heart, thus they have some potential danger.  OPTIMUM…

IS ION VOLTAGE IMPORTANT?

OPTIMUM ionic footbath units’ generate IONS at a higher VOLTAGE. Other machines produce ions around 300 – 400 milliV (or 0.400 volts), very low voltage. OPTIMUM runs 35 times higher than this. Depending on the amperage being ran during a…

What are ions?

“..  without ions we could not absorb oxygen in the quantities needed to live.” Ion is an atom or group of atoms that has obtained a net electric charge by gaining or losing electrons from a neutral configuration.  Picture of…

What is Amps?

What is Amps? Amps is the ‘volume’ of electrons. Think of a waterfall,  the wider the water fall the more volume of water. There are several ways you can increase the volume of electrons in the footbath. One is by…

Is the WRISTBAND A Good Thing?

A wristband is simply used to ground the body since the unit is so cheaply made the unit itself is not grounded. This is a marketing gimmick when the say it is ‘to complete the circuitry’ or ‘stimulate the upper body’.…

COPPER Tub vs. PLASTIC Tub (detox foot bath)

Our OPTIMUM Copper Tub is used for optimum footbath treatment. The copper acts as an additional conductor thereby making the treatment all that more powerful. One will get more life out of the OPTIMUM water array due to the conductivity…

DUAL Polarity vs. SINGLE Polarity?

There are a few Detox Footbath systems on the market who differentiate themselves by offering Dual Polarity, which is just reversing of the polarity. Plain & simple this is is a marketing gimmick which  provides no additional benefit. Here is why: FALSE: Detox…
