I came across an interesting study done by a guy named Dr. Richard Lloyd, Ph. D. He has done some studies on how mold and Lyme toxins build up in your body, and has done some research on more alternative treatment methods.

Nearly a quarter of the Earth’s population cannot produce the antibodies needed to fight mold toxins once they enter their system. So those who are continually exposed to mold toxins gradually accumulate increasing amounts of these toxins in their bodies. If you can smell mold in your home, you may be at risk.

The symptoms of these diseases are inflammation, loss of sexual desire, uncontrollable weight gain, confusion in the brain, and flu-like symptoms. Other symptoms are cold hands and feet, gluten intolerance, and chronic pain.

Conventional medication can cause bloating, digestive discomfort and constipation in most patients. There are supplements that can be taken, such as peach extract. In short, you must avoid mold.

Dr. Lloyd maintains that the use of Japanese foot detox patches has helped to remove mold toxins very quickly and without side effects. Ionic foot baths have also been shown to be effective and fast. He recommends using two baths, one for each foot.

He tells of one of his patients who was so weakened by the inflammation caused by the mold that the patient could not move. He used foot detox pads, 10 in all, for five sessions. Soon after, he went out to mow the church lawn. He ran out of patches, and as he continued to live in the same circumstances, the pain and swelling returned.

So she decided to use the Ionic foot bath. He also decided to use detox oil and a diffuser to get rid of mold in his home. Both times he was able to get good results.

This is just one case study that I have come across while researching the feasibility and honesty of foot detox products and procedures. I must admit I’m in two minds about the whole thing. One side, the logical side, tells me that this is a scam. My more creative side, or perhaps my wishful thinking side, tells me that there may be possibilities here. I felt better after trying the patches, but like I said, it was an illusion, the placebo effect.
