Comments on: Ion Cleanse - Crud of The Month- September 2006 http://www.shamelessreviews.com/34/crud-of-the-month-september-2006/ Gadget News | Product Reports | Consumer Reviews Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:42:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: William Lundberg, MD, PHD http://www.shamelessreviews.com/34/crud-of-the-month-september-2006/#comment-154764 William Lundberg, MD, PHD Sun, 07 Sep 2008 02:52:11 +0000 http://www.shamelessreviews.com/2006/09/01/crud-of-the-month-september-2006/#comment-154764 To all of you who are skeptical of this product: Good for you! You are one of the few educated people who are smart enough not to fall for this ridiculous product! For those of you who are fall for IonCleanse's absurd claims: I feel sorry for you. Don't worry because many people fall victim to these types of scams. I am an MD/PHD in a large research hospital. I overheard one of my nurses talking about this "miraculous" treatment and I told her what I am about to tell you. However, just like you, she wouldn't listen. So, I bought an IonCleanse so my students and I could find out the truth and publish the results. The results will be published in a medical journal later this fall. What did we find? A big shocker! IonCleanse doesn't work! After numerous tests, with different types of water, different people, different parts of the body, and even using a fake foot - it is a hoax. The only substance found in the water was rust. The "foam" that you see on top of the water is merely a combination of dead skin cells and body oils. There were no toxins of any kind in the water, just as we suspected. Why did we suspect this? (1) The largest pores in your body is not in your feet! They are located on your face, nose, back, and chest. Some of the smallest pores are located on your feet! (2) It is impossible to "pull out toxins" from your skin. We already have a "detoxifying" agent in our body. It's called the liver. (3) Don't you think if all the world's diseases could be cured by a foot bath we wouldn't be spending trillions of dollars in medical research finding REAL cures? Come on people, you are smarter than this. "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." A colleague of mine had a patient come in with diabetic neuropathy and lesions on her feet than had become infected. According to the patient, she had been undergoing IonCleanse treatment at a local herbal shop because they told her it would cure her diabetic feet. After 10 treatments and hundreds of dollars, she decided to go to a doctor (my colleague). She had to have both of her lower extremities amputated below the patella two weeks ago. This could have been treated and her legs saved if she had only came in for medical help sooner. This is a tragic event and I can only pray that you will seek real medical help before you fall victim to this dangerous alternative therapy. It might not be your feet you lose but your life. For more information, keep an eye out for my article in New England Journal of Medicine and possibly JAMA later this year. Hope this helps! (sorry for typos; had to write this quickly. My wife came across this site and I couldn't help but comment - for the sake of those reading this.) To all of you who are skeptical of this product: Good for you!

I just started using the Ioncleanse, I have gone to 4 sessions now, I am only 31 yrs old, so I don't have a lot of problems but I just started my period and usually my period is so heavy that I have to change my tampon (super size ones) every hour or I will be sorry that I didn't, well this time it was a lot lighter than usual not near as heavy, so I'm wondering if this Ioncleanse treatment is helping w/ that! I want to give it a fair shake, my mom goes too she has rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, she says she hurts a lot less now, and she feels better, she has only been to 5 treatments. So I say try it, give it a month of sessions, if your under 40 yrs old you can go 3 times a week, if your older than 40 only twice a week, so try a months worth of treatments and see for yourself if you feel better or different. But don't just listen to all those doctor's butt kissers out there! Try it yourself. Would everyone who is booing this product just SHUT UP! If you have never tried it then don’t say a word about it.

As a therapist, I have been doing these cleanses for 9 months with my clients. I have had reports of dead tapeworms worms in the stool following cleanses, I've seen dead pin worms in the water, I have seen a parasite that appeared to be clear like a jelly fish but only 1/2 in long from someone who helped clean up after the storm down south who walked barefoot in the debris, I've seen VERY blue water from a person with much radiation in them, I have seen and heard the results of liver cleansing, I have heard the results of MS-like symptoms disappearing, I have heard the results of Rheumatoid Arthritis totally diappearing after 100 treatments, I have testimonies of persons with pain just leaving their bodies, I could go on and on with positive results from these foot cleanses, so IF IT WORKS FOR MANY, DON'T CRITICISE A THEREAPY THAT IS TRULY ANCIENT.

As a practioner I have owned or used several different brands. My experience is that the $2400 and up foot baths don't do any more good than the $1200 to $1500 ones. The cheap Far East units are a waste of money, they don't perform. Try one for several sessions before you pass judgement. I too am a believer in the ionic footbath.

Just because one does not believe in natural healing doesn't make it wrong and doesn't warrant a rude reply back. There are many natural ways of healing that are very effective and work far better than any traditional medicine from a regular doctor. The Ion Cleanse (even though some do not believe in it) is a natural healing product and as the same with many natural healing remedies - traditional medicine does not believe it in. I am very pleased to say that there are some doctors that are now opening their minds to natural medicine. My husband had a serious debilitating problem for 5 years that no specialist could heal him of - it was called Hyperacusis - a side effect condition caused by taking Paxil for only one month. After 5 years of seeing specialists with no answer but to wear ear plugs we went to a natural path who suggested the Ion Cleanse. The natural path did not state that it would heal any specific disease only that it would clean the body of toxin and then the body would heal itself of whatever. My husband noticed wonderful results after the first treatment and we were very skeptical - we went back for another treatment and more results - after 5 treatments - yes at 35.00 Cdn per treatment - his hearing was corrected. We now no longer use plastic plates but glass plates, we can clap, we can laugh loudly, he can play music in his car - the sound sensitivity of Hyperacusis has disappeared completely. Now you tell me that the Ion Cleanse is a farce. Sorry but we believe in it as we believe in many herbal and cleansing techniques. We have living proof. So please don't insult others that believe in something just because you don't. It’s unfortunate that when someone gives their opinion on this site that others have to put that person down.

It TELLS YOU to do a ‘footless session’ with just the water so you can compare the colour change! By the way, I hope you are not drinking the water if thats the colour it turned by itself, as its only reacting with the impurities in the water. It also stresses that the process is not a cure nor a treatment for any illness or disorder. I have no vested interest in regards to promotions or sales of this unit. I only know from first hand knowledge of how my family and I benefitted from this unit. I am a major skeptic of any passing fad as well as what the pharmaceutical push on us. I was left with a debilitating condition as a result of an adverse reaction to a prescription drug for approx.4 years. Apart from modified office work, I was pretty much house bound. My experience with the Ion Cleanse unit started with a recommendation from a relative who suffered from swollen ankles and whose meds were constantly increased to the point of severe side effects. After three treatments, her ankles returned to normal and no longer required meds for the conditon. My wife tried it and some toxin related conditions were relieved. So I figured what do I have to lose so I tried it. After two treatments, a sore and stiff elbow that was bothering me for about 4 years was resolved. After 4 treatments, ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF MY MED REACTION WERE GONE! At that point I was hooked and bought a machine for our family. I "Followed the directions" and did a trial run with only water and salt.(we have a purification system on our house water that removes chlorine and other chemicals from the purification plant as well as softening the water). I ran the unit for 30 minutes and only a very faint yellow/brown, like a very very weak tea colour emerged. I then changed the water and salt solution in the basin and put my feet in. Within minutes, I could see the colour changing to a very dark brown, foam appeared and then it turned very dark green/black. So I guess you could say that I already took your ‘dare’ and proved you very wrong. I suggest you research more before you post erroneous information. I highly recommend this machine for cleaning toxins from the body. Because of using this unit, I am no longer house bound, I have my life back. Please refer to the following web site for info. http://www.ioncleanse.com/ (I apologise for the previous post sent before spell check) Who ever wrote ‘Ion Cleanse-crud of the month’obviously never read all the literature that was supplied with the unit. It TELLS YOU to do a ‘footless session’ with just the water so you can compare the colour change! By the way, I hope you are not drinking the water if thats the colour it turned by itself, as its only reacting with the impurities in the water.
It also stresses that the process is not a cure nor a treatment for any illness or disorder.
I have no vested interest in regards to promotions or sales of this unit. I only know from first hand knowledge of how my family and I benefitted from this unit. I am a major skeptic of any passing fad as well as what the pharmaceutical push on us. I was left with a debilitating condition as a result of an adverse reaction to a prescription drug for approx.4 years. Apart from modified office work, I was pretty much house bound. My experience with the Ion Cleanse unit started with a recommendation from a relative who suffered from swollen ankles and whose meds were constantly increased to the point of severe side effects. After three treatments, her ankles returned to normal and no longer required meds for the conditon. My wife tried it and some toxin related conditions were relieved. So I figured what do I have to lose so I tried it. After two treatments, a sore and stiff elbow that was bothering me for about 4 years was resolved. After 4 treatments, ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF MY MED REACTION WERE GONE! At that point I was hooked and bought a machine for our family. I “Followed the directions” and did a trial run with only water and salt.(we have a purification system on our house water that removes chlorine and other chemicals from the purification plant as well as softening the water). I ran the unit for 30 minutes and only a very faint yellow/brown, like a very very weak tea colour emerged. I then changed the water and salt solution in the basin and put my feet in. Within minutes, I could see the colour changing to a very dark brown, foam appeared and then it turned very dark green/black.
