Hey Carlene Thanks for this. My sentiments exactly. If this is true and these foot baths really do detox the body, I want to buy one and share it will my family and friends. But before I start screaming it's praises from the highest mountain, I would like a little more proof than just dirty water.
I go back to someone on the list stating that these foot baths throw off the electrical system??? of the body or something like that? if the person is still on the list can you repeat what you said??? This is not an accusation, it's a question. So please nobody eat my face off.
