In complimentary medicine there are lots of weird treatments, Reiki, Reflexology, Crystal Healing, Iridology you name it. Most of the time they claim to work but it's only via suggestion/placebo affect and they do no harm but at the same time we, as scientists and doctors, can not prove they dont work conclusively.

However, 'Aqua Detox' that foot bath that claims to remove 'toxins' from your body is a scam, it is a con, and it has been proven by scientists, doctors and journalists time and time again it is a fraud. There is NO human medical condition of 'Intoxification' firstly as these supposed 'toxins' cant be identified and there are no 'toxins' in the water followeing these detox treatments or any other evidence of bona fida medical effect. The Aqua Detox water baths water goes brown due to the iron from the electrodes yet con artist therapists say its .toxins'. There are even some weirs oil massages that say they 'detoxify' yet no evidence can ever be found. Any comments?

i agree, i hate scams that throw around the word toxin. hellloooo any "toxins" in your body are taken care of by ur lymph system, speen, liver, ect ect ect. its amazing how after thousands of years of human form working just nicely that we all of a sudden need to detox every 5 minutes!…with a foot bath…
