"THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS - 5¢"
Yeah, ya'll. Another goofy "treatment" currently making
the rounds is the "foot soak" machine that supposedly
pulls the toxins out of the body. Our chiropractor has
invested in those things and was pushing the treatments the
last time we were in her office. I know she is sincere,
but has been sold a bill of goods. I looked it up on the
internet and it has been exposed as a scam. The machine
itself produces the scary colored "toxins" after your feet
stay in it for 15 or 20 minutes. Brown, yellow green gooky
looking stuff comes out into the water, but it is not
coming from the pores of the feet. It has something to do
with the type of material the thing is made of. In fact,
I think it would be interesting to run the thing with no
one's feet in it and watch it produce "toxins" out of thin
air. I want to tell her about this, but I don't know how
to go about it.
