IS ION VOLTAGE IMPORTANT?

Picture of an atom w electrons floating around

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…

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’.…

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…
