Aqua Chi - Electrify Your Feet

Hey, we are all really stressed, right? I am anyway and if you aren't what are you doing looking at this nonsense? OK , now that that's settled, let's take a look at the electric footbath thingy - I think you can get a model with an MP3 player too so you can tune out while you zap your tootsies.

First off how does this thing work. Basically it's kind of simple. You soak your feet in a saltwater bath and the whatsit device passes an electric current through the water. Nah, it won"t do an electric chair on you - not that much juice.

But, does it really do what it claims it’s supposed to do? The claim is that positive and negative ion frequencies resonate through and about your body and thereby stimulate your cells, energizing them - assumedly this being a positive thing. So this is what Aqua Chi Therapy claims to do. However, scientific proof is a little short - or possibly non-existent. It claims to rebalance the cellular energy, giving the cells the ability to effectively release the toxins that have built up over the years.

Yeah, maybe, but Aqua Detox itself has yet to conduct clinical trials to prove this point, simply stating that the required evidence that it works isn’t still available. Orgones. Levitation mantras. Pyramid razor sharpeners. Ooopps, little cynicism there.

So if you have disposable income it might be fun to try it out (they've got it selling under a ton of names). Lots of people really enjoy doing bizarre things to and with feet and maybe it feels really good.

Stay tuned for more crazed material on the aqua chi phenomena and other Weird Alternative Medicine techniques. (Hey, this is serious stuff here, educational, ya know).
