First, a word of caution.
If you are the type who goes to Whole Foods and spends 20 bucks on single-mill black truffle olive oil to drizzle on your portobello burgers, then dear god, stop reading now.
This story is about real food — the stuff that you can buy for a buck. If the world came to an end and you were living in a bomb shelter, this food would still be edible.
Besides, what are you doing shopping for truffle oil when the stock market is crumbling?
A few years back, documentary maker Morgan Spurlock ate McDonald’s for 30 days. he gained 24 pounds, his cholesterol shot through the roof, and he experienced sexual dysfunction.
If Spurlock could make an entire documentary out of eating Big Macs for 30 days, I figured I could at least spend a week solely eating at my favourite store, Dollarama. what better place to shop during a recession?
Bank of Canada Gov. mark Carney has said we have taken on too much debt as consumers are retrenching their spending habits.
Eating only Dollarama food would be a commentary on the stock market downturn, of food banks and the need for a living wage, the globalization of the food product industry, trans fats and poverty and the rise of chronic disease. at least that’s what I pitched to the editor.
Mostly it was about trying to eat a pile of prepackaged foods without getting indigestion. Or sexual dysfunction. Indigestion I can handle.
Some friends looked at me as if I had just received an assignment to be embedded with the Taliban.
“Really. You’re really doing what?” says a wide-eyed Moneyville Moms On Money blogger Madhavi Acharya Tom-Yew when I tell her of my experiment. “I don’t think you should go through with it.”
I told Madhavi, who prides herself on making an Extreme Couponer look like a flagrant spendthrift but refuses to eat dollar-store food, that no animals would be hurt in this experiment, except possibly my liver.
A confession: Unlike the Star’s Katie Daubs, a picky eater who gags at the taste of mustard, I have no problems eating day-old pizza or doughnuts that have been calcified into Precambrian rock by sitting around on the windowsill for too long.
For breakfast, I have been known to eat McCain’s frozen coconut crème pie, bought on sale for a dollar at no Frills. Once, when filling in for Star movie critic Peter Howell, I was kicked out of the reserved seats at the theatre because no real critic would be caught dead consuming an extra large tub of buttered popcorn and a jumbo Pepsi while doing the serious job of watching a movie. (I think it was Cheaper by the Dozen 2.)
So, I can say that for most of my life, I have basically trained harder than any Navy Seal for this assignment. Minus the push-ups.
But that does not impress nutritionist and dietitian Nicole Springle, acting director of nutrition for the Cleveland Clinic Canada.
“Wow. Eating this stuff for a week is going to be a real challenge,” says Springle.
Springle says without fresh fruit and vegetables, my body will eventually start to deplete of basic vitamins and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. I will then eventually die. but maybe not in a week.
She warns me that eating my favourite green gummy bears does not count as vegetables.
“Good luck,” she says. “but you may need to detox after.”
MONDAY
The dollar store is the graveyard where brands go to die. there is Hannah Montana energizing foot scrub for a buck. Daisy Fuentes Shampoo for $2. Toy story 3 bubble bath. you didn’t know there was a Toy story 3 did you?
The Dollarama at Woodside Square in Scarborough is your typical 10,000-square-foot behemoth. It’s amazing what you can get at the dollar store. Dollarama used to be one of the few “honest” dollar stores in town where everything really was a buck. Over the last few years it’s now priced items anywhere from a buck to $2. still cheap, but not quite the bargain it used to be.
Rest assured, it is the place where you can always pick up a knitted bear sweater with a maple leaf for $1.50. The Scream Halloween mask is $2.
The food selection though has exploded over the years. The dollar store always had a five-star snack-food aisle. but now it’s stocked with enough ready-to-eat meals to keep 2012 apocalypse types happy.
The variety is incredible. And there are even brand names like Snapple and E.D. Smith. but mostly it is a bunch of stuff made in Egypt and Portugal with names I’ve never heard of. I marvel at the miracle of the supply chain that something that could be made in Egypt can still be sold for a buck in Canada. I also wonder what the heck they put in it.
Breakfast: I am rushing in to work. have an Insta-Coffee Cappuccino. Just add water. a surprising 160 calories for such a tiny cup. a buck for two. Yummy!
Lunch: a can of chili for a loonie. Not bad, but tastes watery. With 740 mg of sodium, it’s 31 per cent of recommended daily value.
On the side I break out some Portuguese bruschetta sticks, 18 mini slices for $2. Sort of like Melba toast with “real” oregano and olive oil.
Dinner: Chow mein for two bucks? Count me in.
It’s ready in three minutes and the fork is included!
Ingredients include flour, water, salt, garlic chestnuts and bamboo shoots.
The picture on the box looks great. inside, there is a foil pouch with toppings and a plastic pouch with noodles.
The toppings look nothing like the picture. More like a salty brown gravy sludge. The noodles taste like Play Doh.
I offer it to my wife, Sharon. “Seriously, I’m going to throw up,” she says.
I guess that was a no.
I’m still hungry. I have a $2 American tuna salad with potatoes as a side. but that tiny 240-gram plastic container holds 1.9 grams of salt, or 80 per cent of the recommended daily intake. The chow mein is relatively benign in comparison with 950 milligrams or about 40 per cent of the recommended intake.
“you have to watch the sodium. That’s the real killer,” says dietitian Springle.
Yeah, but it’s ready in three minutes and comes with its own fork. What’s not to like?
TUESDAY
Breakfast: Mini muffins, 12 for $2. this time I’m treating myself to a french vanilla cappuccino. Even comes with a stir stick. they think of everything.
Dinner: Artificially flavoured ranch and bacon pasta salad for $1.25.
The package suggests adding chicken, roast beef or ham. I throw in some canned meatballs. Not bad.
I settle in to watch Bachelor Pad. Bad reality TV and packaged food go great together. God, Jake Pavelka is a clueless tool. Vienna is a witch. I can feel my blood pressure rising. maybe hypertension from all this salt I’m loading up on?
Note to self: Wife already wants to kill me. We haven’t had a decent meal and there’s still five days to go.
WEDNESDAY:
Breakfast: Skipping the coffee. this time soothing Dollarama green tea. I’m indulging in some butterfly cookies, about 18 of them for $1.25.
They’re not bad, but a serving of just two cookies equals almost a quarter of my saturated fat intake at 2 grams. it also has 5 grams of trans fat.
Springle says trans fats are the devil. She suggests 2 grams max.
I forget to tell her that I have already eaten eight of them.
Lunch: Primo hearty chicken soup with 35 per cent less sodium than its previous version. that rings in at “only 26 per cent” of my recommended daily allowance. no complaints though for $1.25.
Dinner: The $1 gravy and meatballs looks suspiciously like Alpo. However, it goes well with some decent Dollarama bread, canned corn niblets and more of that yummy bruschetta.
I put a white tablecloth on the dining room table and light some candles. I use the good china. maybe Sharon will feel the romance.
THURSDAY:
The Dollarama in downtown Toronto’s Moss Park neighbourhood is in one of the more destitute areas of the city. about a third of households are designated low income.
Here you become acutely aware that while I’m eating Dollarama food for a week, some people have no other choice. Or some are lucky if they can afford Dollarama at all.
Dylan, a 32-year-old panhandler on the sidewalk, says he sometimes goes in for a treat when he’s got enough in the orange plastic beach pail he uses to solicit loose change.
“I like their biscuits and chocolate bars, but I’d rather go to Tim Hortons for real food,” he says.
I’m trying to concentrate on what he’s saying, but after four days on the diet I’m feeling lethargic. I also have a hard time focusing.
I apologize to Dylan, but he seems to know what I need. a power drink from Dollarama.
“Picks you up good,” he said.
I buy something called RAGE, one for me, and one for Dylan.
That does the trick. but my cranky level is up tenfold.
Before I leave, I load Dylan up with a Dollarama care package of snacks and prepared meals.
I don’t smoke, but I feel the need to bond with another diner. I reach into my pocket and give him a pack of my favourite Popeye Candy Sticks, the ones that taste like chalk and have zero nutritional value. I can only seem to find them at Dollarama.
“for the road,” I tell him.
Lunch: a tuna snack for $1.25 and a seafood salad Niçoise for $2 (why does everything sound better in French?).
Dinner: Teriyaki Sesame Noodles for $1.50. Better than the chow mein. but eating a bowl of Lego would be better than the chow mein.
FRIDAY:
A co-worker is eating a peach. The smell is intoxicating. that peach is talking to me. I could maybe take a bite when she puts it down on her desk.
Dinner: I can’t remember. something in a package. I think it was pad Thai.
Note to self: there is no such thing as good pad Thai for $2.
Sharon is eating a spinach salad. So much for team spirit. She says I’m getting cranky and moody eating all of this processed food.
“I wouldn’t eat your stupid salad if you offered it to me,” I tell her.
“You’re stupid,” she says.
“no, you’re stupid,” I reply as I plow into my Mr. Moo Chips ‘N Cheese Ready to Eat Fun Snack.
SATURDAY:
Breakfast: Sweet Shack pancake mix for $1.50. The picture shows strawberries on top. Dollarama mixed fruit does the trick for a buck, doused in pancake syrup. The mix is made in Germany for Dollarama. It’s edible, but I think the Germans definitely make better cars.
Beverage: Wild harvest berry wine cooler with 0.5 per cent alcohol for a buck. I wish I had discovered this earlier.
Dinner: It’s spaghetti for a loonie, mixed with Dollarama hearty spaghetti sauce and tinned mushrooms. Thumbs up — the sauce is flavourful and the pasta is firm and a little chewy.
But despite the fibre in the noodles, my bowels are completely blocked. Springle warned me that a lack of fibre means that you can lock up at any time.
Note to Dollarama: Stock Metamucil. You’ll make a killing.
SUNDAY: my last day on the Dollarama diet. I’m constipated, I have trouble concentrating, and I’m cranky.
Note to self: Must cut back on that RAGE stuff.
Breakfast: Dollarama whole wheat bread and marmalade chased down by soy milk.
Dinner: Tonight I decide to “make” a pizza for my wife as a special treat.
For a toonie I get a pizza starter kit made from “Canadian prairie wheat and filtered water” which comes complete with tomato sauce. I toss the ready-made pie in the air. I feel like I’m actually making something.
For toppings I put on some Dollarama chopped garlic, tinned mushrooms, and a $1 tin of escargot. who would think you can get escargot for a buck? Voila. Gourmet pizza in 10 minutes.
Sharon, grimacing at a sea of $1 slugs on her pizza, bravely takes a bite: “Not bad, I think.”
Winner, winner, pizza dinner!
Dessert: Flan cake for $1.50 topped with canned peaches and mandarin oranges. a home run.
Happy note to self: I now have so many preservatives in my system that if they buried me tomorrow my corpse wouldn’t age.
EPILOGUE
After a week, 21 ready-to-eat “meals” and thousands of calories later, I have learned that you can eat with variety on the Dollarama diet, and survive. there are avid shoppers who buy dollar-store food regularly because that’s all they can afford. there are others who do so because they feel they’re getting value.
A lot of the food is good, but some of it is plain awful.
If you’re looking for bargains, other discounters such as no Frills and Price Chopper offer great dollar deals as well — Dollarama doesn’t have a monopoly on value.
I am amazed at what you can get for a buck or two — but it’s probably a good idea to throw in the odd fresh fruit and vegetable.
Now, for the love of god, where’s that peach?
Chip flix clicks with Dollarama COO
Stephane Gonthier is one of the few people who have likely eaten more Dollarama food than I have.
His favourite item is the Chip-Flix salt and vinegar. The chief operating officer of the Montreal-based chain also likes the canned mandarin oranges and swears by the $2 risotto from Italy.
He’s also visited the Ontario plant that makes the $2 pizza kit that I made for dinner.
“It’s very good, I’ve tried it myself,” said Gonthier.
He says people are sometimes surprised at the extent of food carried by the chain. but what about the stigma associated with eating food from a dollar store?
“We are confident and happy about the quality of our products,” says Gonthier. “We have always been highly concerned with product safety and we have adopted very strict guidelines to ensure food quality.”
While Dollarama is the largest dollar-store operator in the country with close to 667 locations, Gonthier says the company has no plans to expand into a full-fledged food retailer.
So don’t expect a fresh fruit or produce department anytime soon.
But as the company’s stores have gotten larger, to the average 10,000-square-foot range, the food aisles have also grown and gained in popularity, said Gonthier.
What I did notice is that the dollar store cuts across all demographic levels. Gonthier says shoppers come for value — and even the wealthy like to save a buck. but I bet they still take a pass on a second purchase of the pad Thai.
If you don’t follow podcasts or critically acclaimed basic-cable comedies, you might have missed one of the more remarkable pop-culture developments of the past year. It’s not quite on par with dogs and cats putting aside their differences and creating a new pet super-race, or Dr. Dre finally putting out the perhaps-best-left-unreleased Detox. But it’s close. Thanks to some assistance from two unlikely sources, Dane Cook has evolved from being the living embodiment of detestable mediocrity in comedy into something resembling a sympathetic, even likeable figure.
There’s a decent chance you thought that already. you might even be a Dane Cook fan; the guy does have millions of them, judging by his album sales and the arenas he packs throughout the country, though I’ve never met a single one. But in the kingdom of comedy nerddom—a small territory with outsized influence, where strangeness-for-strangeness’ sake and deep, dark psychological dysfunction are guiding principles—Dane Cook has long resided somewhere between “children’s birthday-party magician” and “rodeo clown” on the coolness scale. But that changed at least a little in the wake of Cook’s June 2010 appearance on Marc Maron’s popular WTF podcast, and on Louis C.K.’s FX series Louie last week.
In both cases, Cook stood toe-to-toe with respected “comic’s comics” and responded to old charges that he’s a joke-stealer specifically, and an all-around d-bag generally. on Maron’s show, he talked candidly about feeling out-of-step with his fellow comedians practically from the beginning of his career as a sober, relatively well-adjusted, and preternaturally upbeat person. he admitted to being standoffish with many of his peers early on (including Maron), but only because he felt shy and uncomfortable around them. (Which, given Maron’s intensity, is understandable.) But he also (rightly) pointed out that Maron isn’t really in a position to understand him, as he’s achieved a level of fame as a stand-up that’s known only to the Steve Martins and Chris Rocks of the world.
Most importantly, Cook strongly denied stealing jokes (including three bits from C.K.), making a convincing case for his record of developing his own material over the course of nearly 20 years in the business, which—no matter your opinion of that material—seems irrefutable.
Speaking as someone who went into the podcast loving Marc Maron and despising Dane Cook, I was surprised by my own sympathy for Cook whenever Maron’s questioning occasionally came off as patronizing or even insulting. (A bit where Maron mocks Cook for accusing another comedian of stealing his “essence” goes on way too long, given Cook’s affable demeanor and reasonable-ish explanation.) By the end, I actually found myself liking this guy.
How could this happen? It’s not like Cook was suddenly funnier—he just became a lot easier to empathize with. Cook’s awareness of how people perceive him and his willingness to address it with a fair amount of eloquence and more than a little wounded sensitivity worked like hate-disinfectant on me. Cook was still the same, somewhat hacky, bro-friendly comedian, but the feelings his comedy and persona used to fill me with had been eradicated.
On Louie, Cook played a version of “Dane Cook” pretty much identical to the Dane Cook on Maron’s podcast. in the episode, C.K. comes to Cook for help getting his daughter Lady Gaga tickets, because Gaga and Cook share a promoter, and Cook knows Gaga personally. (According to Louie, anyway, though that totally could be true in real life.) Stunned that C.K. would have the nerve to ask for a personal favor after leaving him twisting in the wind for years as an accused plagiarist, Cook unloads, taking out all the pent-up frustration and resentment that’s built up over being called the “sellout” while C.K. was the “good guy,” standing up for artistic integrity. “You’re full of shit,” says a fuming Cook, as a stunned C.K. affects a “deer-in-the-headlights” look.
Whether you agree with Cook or not—and I’m treating this scene as a real event and not as a work of fiction—this much can’t be denied: When it comes to recovering lost credibility in pop culture, nothing beats that kind of self-awareness. It’s the closest thing to a magic bullet, or in Cook’s case, a “get out of jail” card. (If anybody can claim to have his reputation locked up in pop-culture prison for the last several years, it’s Cook.) When you’re publicly self-aware, you’re essentially saying, “I’m a human being, not just a person on television or a photo in a magazine. I can hear what people are saying about me, and I’m trying to have some perspective on it.” It’s very difficult to continue to say mean things about a person like that.
Most acts of self-awareness involve celebrities that have fallen into punchline status, where making fun of yourself is the only option left. perhaps the most successful example of this is Neil Patrick Harris playing himself as a drug-crazed party monster in search of “fur burgers” in 2004’s Harold & Kumar go to White Castle. Harris was basically a walking Doogie Howser joke at the time of Harold & Kumar, which predates both How I Met Your Mother and his current status as a universally adored awards-show host. the movie plays this up while giving Harris all the funniest lines and radically remaking his image in the process.
The most celebrated act of self-awareness thus far in 2011 has to be Michael Bolton’s appearance in the Lonely Island’s “Jack Sparrow.” Similar to Harris’ cameo in Harold And Kumar, the idea of Michael Bolton appearing in a Lonely Island song is the joke of “Jack Sparrow” for about 10 seconds. After that, the Lonely Island gets laughs by exaggerating Bolton’s image as a romantic cheeseball in unexpected ways. (Like putting him in Erin Brockovich’s dress, to name but one example.) Bolton is the source of nearly all the laughs on “Jack Sparrow,” but it’s surprising how few of them come at his expense. he actually gets to be funniest guy in the room, belting lines like “this whole town’s a pussy, just waiting to get fucked” with the same gusto he once used to mangle Percy Sledge songs.
Both Harris and Bolton must’ve known that they were being used to some degree as comedic props, and yet they were canny enough to use it to their advantage. What’s different about Cook’s appearance on Louie is that it’s not really played for laughs. aside from C.K.’s crack about Cook referring to his best year as a comic as “2000 and six” (“it’s like saying the year 2000, and by the way the number six”) and Cook calling out C.K. for thinking he’s the only man in America with an itchy asshole, the scene feels more or less like a straight-up summit between two enemy combatants trying to put an end to a battle that’s gone on for too long.
“you let your name be used to hurt me,” Cook says during the scene’s rawest moment. “how shitty do you feel right now?” Plenty shitty, though C.K. doesn’t totally back down from his belief that Cook (perhaps unknowingly) heard his jokes and absorbed them into his act. “I don’t think you meant to do it, but I don’t think you stopped yourself, either,” he says. not that it really matters, because by bringing him on his show, C.K. was already letting Cook off the hook. This episode of Louie only works if you forgive Cook (or at least understand him little better) by the end. When Cook says, with a faint smirk, “Maybe if you felt bad publicly, on the Internet, we could put this behind us,” the truth is that C.K. actually did Cook one better, and put it on national television.
But where C.K. threw Cook a lifeline, he also subtly underscored how Cook doesn’t really need it by setting the scene backstage at Madison Square Garden, where Cook is set to perform. C.K. and Maron might’ve helped Cook’s image, but they didn’t rehab his career, because his career doesn’t need rehabbing.
It reminds me of another self-aware TV cameo from earlier this year, when Aaron Sorkin appeared on an episode of 30 Rock. Sorkin didn’t have to go on 30 Rock and have Tina Fey remind him of his failed SNL-inspired drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip any more than Cook needed to go on Louie or WTF; Sorkin has his Social Network Oscar in the bank as surely as Cook has his millions of followers online. This had more to do with settling an old score with a small but vocal audience of detractors. Yes, Studio 60 crashed and burned while 30 Rock lived on, but Sorkin was out to prove that he was no longer singed.
“So, it’s really that bad out there? I mean, you’re Aaron Sorkin,” Fey’s Liz Lemon asks Sorkin at one point. at the moment, no, but he knows we’re talking about him and he wants to laugh with us, until we stop laughing.

Hollywood’s grand Pantages Theater, a former home of the Academy Awards, was the backdrop for BMI’s annual Urban Awards (Aug. 26). As tourists and lookie-loos shouted from the sidewalks or while cruising down Hollywood Boulevard, artists, songwriters, producers and industry execs made their way down a three-hour red carpet. the theater’s fab art deco lobby provided a respite from the humidity outside with a bar and food tables featuring macaroni-and-cheese squares, chicken meatballs, mini-pizzas and long-sticked red velvet lollipops. among the industry executives and guests spotted in the lobby before the ceremony: Jon Platt, president, North American creative for EMI Music Publishing; Ethiopia Habtemariam, Motown senior VP and exec. VP/head of urban music for Universal Music Publishing Group; Tom Sturges, exec.
Drake, B.o.B., Lex Luger, UMPG Win big at BMI Urban Awards
VP/head of creative for UMPG; Max Gousse, senior VP/A&R for Island Def Jam; Devyne Stephens, CEO of UpFront Megatainment and L.A. Laker Ron Artest. and BMI wasn’t playing when it came to social media: the accompanying press packet not only listed BMI’s various hash tags and Twitter handles but also two and a half pages of handles for its urban artists and songwriters.
Following a musical tribute that kept everyone on their feet the entire time, Dr. Dre paid homage to his longtime friend Snoop Dogg. Reading from notes after teleprompter problems, Dre noted, “I gotta lot of love for this man; he’s one of the people responsible for putting me where I am today. He makes me excited to go into the studio and make music.” Noting earlier on the red carpet that he doesn’t put himself in the icon realm, Snoop thanked Dr. Dre and former Death Row head Suge Knight when honored with the BMI Icon award. “We built Death Row, we built a sound and you can’t take that away. and I’m thankful to both of them because wasn’t nobody from Long Beach rapping then. but I can do 20 more years of this; it ain’t over yet.” Calling Drake a “bad motherfucker” and encouraging those in the room to keep making music, Snoop ended with a word about the long-awaited “Detox” album. “Dr. Dre is finally getting the motherfuckin’ ‘Detox’ going. you all aren’t going to have to wait too much longer.”
Off the red carpet, Drake, winning Songwriter of the Year, shared he’s “a good 80% done” with his album, “Take Care.” “I’ve been in Toronto for the longest time since I started my career, which has been great. the album is definitely a genuine reflection of my life past and present. I have a line on the album where I say ‘I feel like I was numb to it last year, but think I feel it now more than ever.’ That’s probably the best way I can paint the picture for you of this album. I got to reconnect with a lot of people I haven’t seen in years; I got to see my family a lot. It stirred up a lot of emotions that I probably wouldn’t have had if I’d been on the road traveling everywhere. It’s almost there; I’ve got some great, great things. I’m very excited, the most confident I’ve ever been including ‘So far Gone’ and any mixtape.”
Drake Talks ‘Headlines’ Single , Says ‘Take Care’ Is his ‘Best Project’
Jukebox, producer of Willow Smith’s runaway hit “Whip My Hair,” says he’s done about nine songs for the pre-teen’s upcoming debut album. “People have to remember she’s a child and still has to have a child’s life,” said Jukebox when asked when fans might expect the album. “She’s been touring with Justin Bieber, so she just got back in [the studio] two-three weeks ago. Hopefully, the album will be out later this year.” In the meantime, Jukebox is featured on Swizz Beatz and Chris Brown’s new collaboration, “Dance Like a White Girl.”
During the ceremony, BMI executive Catherine Brewton noted that 27 songwriters were first-time award winners this year. “That shows the tide is changing,” she added. Later in the evening, Drake drew a roomful of ooohs during his acceptance speech after receiving the songwriter of the year award. He dedicated the award to his mother, crediting her for “always making me look up the definition of words I’d ask her about,” and to his uncle “who sat me down and said keep on” after “Sylvia Rhone said I couldn’t make it.”
Jazzed about the reaction to her first single “Invisible,” Skylar Grey says her “Invinsible” album is now pushed back to January. She adds it’s a “positive move because we have some different things going on now.” though she declined to reveal what those things are, she did note that the KIDinaKORNER/Interscope album, produced by Alex da Kid, remains “diverse-sounding with elements of hip-hop and rock, which is more my background” and that the Marilyn Manson-featured track “Can’t Haunt Me” will still be included.
Just call him Dr. of Funkology. Bootsy Collins, on tour and also a guest on Sly Stone’s new “I’m Back! Family & Friends,” is gearing up for year two of his online school, the Funk University (thefunkuniversity.com). Resplendent in a red sequined shirt and matching pants, Collins says the upcoming FU curriculum will feature special guest professors Verdine White of Earth, Wind & Fire, Ron Carter, Jack Bruce, Stanley Clarke and Larry Graham.
Her debut single is called “Do My Thang,” and Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori B was doing just that as she answered questions on the red carpet about her own foray into music. the 12-year-old, who also plans to act, just finished a video for the single and is aiming to have her first album out early next year. As for his daughter’s foray in music, Snoop Dogg said, “I’m proud of my baby girl. I’ve always been into giving back and now I can give what I’ve learned to her uncut but with love.”

Lynchburg, VA – when you're dealing with a medical condition that affects your life every day you're always looking for some kind of relief. some people say the key to their well being lies in their feet.
Fibromyalgia left Robert Delong facing pain every day.
“Just soreness and fatigue,” Delong explained. “The pain would be in one place today and one tomorrow.”
When nothing seemed to help Robert turned to alternative medicine. one of his treatments was a series of detoxifying foot baths.
“I had heard of foot baths for a long time but the first one I did, I did it somewhat skeptically,” Delong said. “I had tried every thing, at least I'd tried a lot of things, so I said I'll give it a shot.”
Chiropractor Dr. Linda Brown uses it to treat a lot of her patients just like Robert.
“Allergies, fibromyalgia, just general aches and pains, arthritis,” Brown said. ”Research shows you can strengthen muscle after a treatment or two.”
She explained the secret is the array that's placed in the water, creating an ionic charge.
“The ions go in and infuses your body and helps shake lose toxins from the frame work of our bodies so that fresh blood can get to our cells so the cell can have the energy, the nutrients to detox and do whatever bodily function,” Brown said.
What comes out of your body through your feet — well, that's easy to see.
“See that stuff that's floating in there? That wasn't in there in the beginning,” Delong said.
The foot bath is now a part of treatment that he swears by.
“It's amazing,” Delong said.
Brown said treatment varies on age and more people between the ages of 10 and 65 can get it.
It costs about 30-dollars a session.
