London, England — (SBWIRE) — 11/02/2011 — One of the most unique properties of Spirulina is that it is such a complete food. Spirulina contains Omega6 fatty acids, chlorophyll and an array of vitamins, mineral and protein.Studies conducted by NASA show that that 1 kg of Spirulina had the same nutrients found in about 1,000 kgs of “assorted vegetables”! So in simple terms when you are feeding your body such a high concentration of healthy nutrients, the body can only benefit.Although the health benefits of Spirulina come from the combination of all the nutrients in the algae, there is one nutrient that really stands out, which is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll allows a plant to transform light into nutrients for the plant – photosynthesis. It is chlorophyll that gives plants and algae their green pigmentation. Chlorophyll is thought to act as a powerful antioxidant that boosts the immune system and helps maintain healthy blood function. as Spirulina is an excellent source of Chlorophyll, this helps explain how Spirulina can have so many potential health benefits.Spirulina is also contains important phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are what help explain the string antioxidant and immune boosting properties of Spirulina and they are what give the algae its blue green colour too.Organic Spirulina Capsules are the most popular way of intake of this superfood. Spirulina powder is also quite popular when mixed with a smoothie or juice. Spirulina is the richest beta carotene food, these power packed foods work synergistically to enhance antioxidant protection. Beta Carotene rich fruits and vegetables are thought to ward off disease and protect the body. Spirulina extract contains a complete spectrum of this invaluable food.being loaded with antioxidants makes Spirulina is an ideal anti-aging food, Beta carotene is good for healthy eyes and vision. Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots. Spirulina extract capsules come certified organic which are the much better as the less toxic the soil the lower the density of toxic chemicals in the plant.Spirulina also contains iron and iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral deficiency. Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements as it comes in a plant form. It’s a great food supplement for vegetarians as it contains vitamin B-12 essential for healthy nerves and tissue.Spirulina has a high content of vegetable protein, which is essential for growth and cell regeneration. It is a good replacement for fatty and cholesterol-rich meat and dairy products in one’s diet. again it’s a great superfood supplement for weight loss and detox. It helps provide energy and the perfect extract to include in your diet when on a weight loss programme.Fushi believes that the body shouldn’t be overexposed to chemicals and unnatural elements and uses natural and organic ingredients wherever possible.

Is detoxification foot pad a scam? there are many consumers who are interested in the answer to this question. Over the internet, there were also many reports and reviews of detox foot pad. This article shall present two contrasting reviews of the foot patches, one from Dr. Z, the other one from Dr. Group.
As a general introduction, the followings are what most producers claimed that their detox foot pads do:• Absorb toxins released by the body.• Relieve the burden on the immune system• assist in the natural cleansing of the lymphatic system.• assist in the extraction of toxins from the body.• Support normal blood circulation.• assist in the extraction of heavy metals from the body.• Improve quality of sleep.• Promote vibrant health and wellness.
The followings are what Dr. Z (does this initial stands for Ed Zimney?) , who had written a scambuster report, has to say about the detoxification foot patches, in particular the Kinoki Detox Foot Pads:
“This is such a blatant scam that it gives other scams a bad name!” that was how strong Dr. Z felt about the Kinoki detox foot pads. the main reasons for his negative reviews and comments was that there was no scientific support for the claims of the benefits of using the detox foot patches. the other thing that he was very negative and sceptical about the pads was that all these manufacturers had failed to reveal the quantities or amounts of the ingredients nor how the ingredients are expected to work in helping our body to detoxify.
What about the claim that the foot patches will turn dirty as a result of extracting toxins from our body? Dr Z’s opinion is that this is due to the effect of the vinegar that is in the ingredient of the detoxification foot patches. “What else would you expect from applying vinegar-soaked adhesive gauze to the bottom of your feet?”, says Dr. Z.
The bottom line to Dr Z’s 1000-word report was that he believed that the foot pads do not work because he just believed that it did not work! he admitted that he had not done much research nor have any hard data to back his assertion. he derived from his knowledge that our skins, lymphatic systems and immune systems just do not work in such a way that detox foot pad could absorb the toxins from our foot.
On the other extreme, we have another review from Dr. Group, who is marketing foot pads produced from Kenrico. in Dr. Group’s opinion, not all detox foot pads are created equal. that was why it is very important to check them out and to scrutinize every manufacturer’s claim. as in any nutritional products and healthcare devices, there are always the good product and the bad copies of the good products. It is important to check out which are the genuinely good ones, and which are just bad copies.
Dr Group quoted the examples of green tea, Vitamin E or even Calcium to illustrates his points. although many now knows about the benefits of consuming green tea, many green tea leaves that originated from China or India contains toxic pesticides, insecticides, arsenic and other toxins. many Vitamin E used in supplements are actually synthetic and toxic to the body (bet you didn’t know that!). Calcium in many products in the market are made of calcium carbonate that is nothing more than chalk, and might actually cause calcium deficiency in the body instead.
Looking at things from this angle, the same may be true for detox foot pads. most of the times, we choose to be uninformed and uneducated consumer. we prefer to generalise that all products out there in the market is the same and works the same. why bother with research and so on? Buy the cheapest, since they all look the same anyway.
A careful research into each of the detox foot pads will reveal about its actual benefits and you may actually be a sceptics after researching more into it. Look at how they are manufactured, what are the constituents of the ingredients and whether the person or company promoting these products are trustable or not.
Dr Group agreed to many reports and articles written about the Kinoki detox foot pads (being a scam). he even applauded the writers. but when it comes to the generalisation that all foot patches are scams, he did not agree. To do so, would be the same as saying that all vitamins are scams simply because one synthetic vitamin supplements had hurt someone and does not produce results.
It is very important to do thorough research. sometimes, consumers suffer because of some bad apples. the most effective amino acids (L-Tryptophan) was banned by the government simply because of one contaminated batch and it took years for medical and pharmaceutical experts to fight for their return. we should not purchase and believe every single commercials that we see in TV.
Dr. Group had personally used and carried out researches of Detox Foot Pads for more than 7 years and had found that detox foot pads worked great especially for sleep disorders. Through his researches, he had learnt that they are many poorly produced detoxification foot patches out there in the market.
Due to the benefits that he had received himself, he decided to produce the highest quality organic detoxification foot pads. “If you an find a better product than any individual product we carry, I will buy it for you and replace the product I sell with the better product”, says Dr. Group.
Dr. Group detox foot pads had by far not required any replacement in the past 10 years. Still, Dr Group had kept an open mind. however, he was quick to add that detox foot pads are not the only thing that consumers need to cleanse their body. This is a common misconception that many consumers had. he recommend that consumers should have regular colon cleansing, multiple liver and gallbladder cleansing, purging harmful organisms, detoxifying our body from chemicals and heavy metals and to address the root cause of toxins, i.e. to cleanse the living environment.
The detox foot pad manufactured by Dr Group contains the highest quality-ingredients and was produced by a company with impeccable record. Through partnering with state-of-the-art research labarotories in the U.S. and Japan, they had enabled them to produce the most efficient organic detox foot pad in the market. Researches carried out include the microscopic research, lifestyle and blood analysis, LDL-Cholesterol and Triglyerides Research, Heavy Metals Researches, Negative Ions Research, Far Infrared Research, and Brain Wave Research. Test conducted include the Primary Skin Irritation, Microbial Test (Salmonella, Vibrio, Coliform, Staph/Coagulase Method, Clostridium), Microbial Limit and USP Microbial Limit Validation.
Things you need to Learn about Foot Detox Patches
Article by Darrin Reservitz
Reports on foot detox patches are showing results that shock many after just wearing the pads for a few hours overnight. Some of the changes include:
-Decreasing Pain-More Energy-Lowered Swelling-Immune System Boost-A Healthier Body -Improved Circulation-A Good Night’s Sleep
These people didn’t do anything else different, other than put the pads on their feet when they went to sleep, and pulled them off in the morning. so what are these foot detox patches doing to make people feel better?
The workings behind foot detox pads go way back. Foot detox patches are based on reflexology and acupuncture. Both of these treatment methods believe the feet are the secret to the body. in acupuncture, one-sixth of the body’s acupuncture points are on the soles of the feet. That essentially means when you want a direct line to every organ and part of the body, you should go through the feet.
Foot detox patches use this knowledge and remove toxins stuck in the body, through the pores in the feet.
While you may not think your body is full of toxins, you aren’t considering all the ways toxins can get into your body.
Many times the toxins that end up stuck inside your body have nothing to do with you. They could be the chemicals that were used to process the foods you eat, the used to treat the water you drink or even particles of pollution in the air you are breathing. All of these toxins are going into your body, becoming trapped, leaving you looking for a way to get them out.
Their exit is through foot detox patches. a series of natural ingredients are inside foot detox pads. These pads are then put on your feet while you sleep, or during your work day, and they are hard at work removing those toxins.
The ingredients in the foot detox patches will go into your body, pull out the toxins, and then they will stick around to offer more healing to your system.
You will be able to see the foot detox patches working by the residue that is on the pads when you remove them. over time, and use, you will see less and less of this toxic waste.
One of the biggest benefits of foot detox patches is that they are much more affordable than traditional spa treatments. while spa treatments can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, foot detox patches are affordable, in the ballpark of one to two dollars a day, and don’t involve you losing any time from your regular daily life.

For part one of Lauren’s juice odyssey, go here.
I’m going to start by apologizing to my coworkers and pretty much anyone else who’s been around me during the past three days. I have not been myself. In fact, I’ve been merely a shell of my former self, unraveling at the drop of a hat, snipping at anyone who crosses me while simultaneously giggling in delirium.
Perhaps it was the toxins that have allegedly been released from my body? More likely, it’s the fact that I’ve only consumed juice for three days, and have been living in a constant state of hunger.
Why would I do such a thing(the question that everyone asks)? I needed to click restart on my body. after a nine-day vacation at the beach, where I ate and drank way too much and "forgot" to exercise, my body had started cursing me out.
So I decided to try the BluePrint Cleanse, a food detox program that promises to regulate hunger, digestion and cleanse the body. other "possible" benefits include: elevated moods, an immune system boost and clearer skin.
I ordered the cleanse online. Don’t get me wrong, it’s pricey. three days worth of juice, plus shipping, cost me $250. and I’ll be honest, it was kind of an impulse purchase. I was freaking out about the way I was feeling and my inner type a monster came out, took control of my body, got out my wallet and made me buy the juice.
So here’s how it all went down… the juice arrived at work on Tuesday around 11 a.m., 30 minutes later than it was supposed to. By then I was feeling shaky and light-headed, since I hadn’t had anything with calories yet that day.
I ripped open the box to find my 18 bottles, enough for three days, packed in ice. Each juice was numbered, so I knew the order in which to drink them.
Juice #1: "Green Juice," a combo of greens (think kale and spinach), lemon and apple, had sort of an earthy smell, but actually tasted pretty good. it was enough to take the edge off my hunger, but I was ready for the next juice.
I waited about two hours then drank P.a.M., which stands for pineapple, apple and mint. That was delish, and so far, I was feeling OK.
Well, actually I was feeling a little weak and kind of unfocused. At that point, I started wondering how I was going to do this for three days. I really didn’t think this through… But then I got to juices #3 and 4. The third bottle was another green juice, and the fourth was spicy lemonade. Absolutely tasty! I drank this at about 3:30 p.m., and finally got over the hump. I was finally feeling like myself again.
That night I went to a pretty sweaty yoga class. I was fully expecting to be in child’s pose for much of the class, but I had a burst of energy and ended up having a great practice.
After class, I drank juice #6, cashew milk flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. it was like dessert! and the natural protein finally made me feel full-ish.
DAY TWO:
Wednesday was a bit of a roller coaster. I almost broke down in tears at work when I got a little stressed out. Although I was on the verge of unraveling for most of the day, I was also more focused and alert. Feeling pretty energetic, I went to my boxing class that night. But when the instructor commented on my technique, I full on bit his head off. (Note to self, do not snip at professional boxers.) I wanted to scream: "I’ve only been drinking juice for three days!! Leave me the hell alone!"
DAY THREE:
I woke up ravenously hungry. But knowing it was my last day was enough to get me through it. In fact, I almost didn’t drink my last juice. I think I was finally just used to that hungry feeling.
All in all, the BluePrint cleanse is a test of discipline, willpower and sanity. it was three days of ups and downs, twists and turns.
Today, on my first day off the juice, I have a headache. I’m slightly nauseous and my mouth is so dry, even though I’ve been drinking water constantly. They say these are all typical detox symptoms.
Also, although this wasn’t supposed to be a diet and I didn’t go into this looking to lose weight, I did lose five pounds… at least for now. I fully expect to gain it all back the moment a slice of bread touches my lips.
For now, I’ll slowly integrate back to society. for breakfast, I had some watermelon, half an avocado and lemon water. Lunch will be a simple green salad.
Everyone is asking me if it’s worth it. Right now, I’d say, if you really want to do this, buy a juicer and save yourself a LOT of money. But if you’re as neurotic and impatient as me (and maybe a little lazy), it was nice to have everything laid out for you.
I’ll update again in three days.
Editor’s Note: Always consult with your doctor before changing your diet or attempting a cleanse. People on certain prescriptions or with some health conditions should not attempt this.
There has been an enormous amount of hype in the media and all-over the net in regards to detoxing the human body, especially with that of the lemon detox diet. Furthermore, none of the products or advertisements on the market could compare to that of the lemon detox diets you hear about so often. why are these lemon detox diets so popular?
The reason is very clear. Lemon is an inexpensive and easy accessible citrus fruit that has powerful components that naturally cleanse and detox the body. Not only this- but people who have been cleansing with lemon juice have noticed the added benefit of weight loss. This makes it even more of an asset with today’s economy, the inexpense, and inconvenience of weight-loss products and cleansing products that are very over-rated, and ineffective. Read more …
Here are some of the other benefits of the lemon detox diet: Boosts immune system- Lemon juice contains powerful antioxidants, and scientific studies have proven that anti-oxidants are very capable of fending off disease, illness, and even some types of cancers. Aids in digestion- You may think that lemon detox irritates the digestive system, however in many cases studies have indicated that lemon juice can reverse and aid in digestion. It has been linked to reducing symptoms of IBS, GERD, and other digestive ailments. Balances blood sugar levels- Lemon juice consumption and detox has been associated with positive effects on blood sugar and glucose levels in the body. This decreases appetite, lowers chances of diabetes, and also aids in energy levels, as well as increases metabolism. Increases concentration- Natural elements in lemon juice have been proven to aid in focus and concentration within the functions of the brain. in addition, diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia canbe prevented by a lemon detox diet lifestyle. Flushes liver and kidneys-Lemon juice is a diuretic. It is essentially important for optimal liver and kidney health and clarifies the urinary tract. if you drink lemon juice, you will better flush your kidneys and liver out consistently and reap the benefits of a healthier body. Suppresses appetite- When you consume lemon juice and water, your body feels full, thus suppressing your appetite and enabling you to lose weight.

Description
How do toxins affect me? Ignoring body toxins can cause poor health, illness and disease. Today’s lifestyles do not support the body’s ability to naturally remove toxins. The body’s immune system has been compromised through the accumulation of toxins.It is important that toxins be removed regularly to insure and maintain good health. How do they remove toxins from my body? Eastern medicine has long held that the body is connected by meridians and that access to these meridians causes a flow of energy (chi) through the acupuncture points on the outside of the body. If we stimulate an acupuncture point it will activate energy (chi) in the body corresponding to internal points thus bringing strength to weak areas of the body. The foot is considered the second most sensitive area of your body next to your heart. The intelligence of your body will naturally send toxins as far away from the heart as possible for protection. That means toxins and decontaminates are collected in the lower portion of your body, at your feet. The combination of herbs, saps and other natural ingredients first; tenderly warm and slightly open the acupuncture points in the soles of the feet then allow the pads to gently draw toxins from the body into the pad. Are they safe to use? They do not deliver any chemicals to the body. They are only topical and draw toxins out of the body. you ingest nothing therefore they are completely safe. Nevertheless, we recommend that you discontinue use if any allergic reactions occur. our foot patches were tested and certified safe and with non detectable heavy metals by FDA lab certification and ISO 9001 for quality. How often should I use Detox footpads? It is recommended that they be used for at least one week for complete cleansing. you will know how your detoxification is progressing by the color of discharge on the pad. as the pad diminishes in colorization you will know that the detox is coming to an end. The length of time for this to happen varies with each individual. Some will detox relatively quickly others much longer depending upon life styles, immune system fatigue, and other variables. Can I use them on only one foot? yes, you may do that but as you study the Reflexology Foot Map you will see that the liver point, for example, is located in the same place on both feet.If you were detoxifing the liver it would be most beneficial to apply a pad to both feet at the liver point. Also for balance it is wise to have both feet involved in the detox process. Do the foot pads contain chemicals? No, they are 100% natural ingredients and none of the ingredients enter the body. The ingredients merely stimulate and draw from the inside out. Can I apply pads to a backache? yes, There are two ways other than to the feet that you can apply detox pads. If you study the acupuncture chart you will see there are points all over your body that correspond to various internal organs. These points are located specifically over a meridian flow so that the stimulation of the herbs can be sent directly to any pain or weak organs. If you have specific joint or muscle pain you can apply directly over the area for temporary relief. Can they ease pain caused by gout, arthritis and rheumatism? yes! Users from around the world have received temporary pain relief. Pads are not a cure for maladies but can act as an efficient relief from pain caused by them. Can I reuse the pads? The pads are for single use only. once the pad is activated by the resonance in the foot and toxins release onto the pad, any reuse would not be as potent or hygienic. Are there any side effects? aside from allergies to the ingredients used, no side effects have been noted. why do my joints hurt even more? each of us responds to our healing process in different ways. you may experience a form of healing crisis. Users experiencing this are likely to have chronic problems. Reflex points will act to assist your body in its recovery process. If this is the case you will find the discomfort is tolerable and it will disappear in a day or two with continued use of the pad. why do I feel tired? you may require more sleep as your body begins to release toxins. what are the benefits? Detoxifying may improve your circulation, aid in the elimination of waste and increase the movement of lymphatic fluids. This may create feelings of vigor, easing of muscle and joint problems, improved immune system, and better sleep. How long should I use the foot pads? Effects may occur within a few days (one or two pads per foot). you can use them as long as you see the need and have results. When toxins have been removed it is common to have no discharge or discoloration into the pad. sometimes my pads remain dry. Does this mean they are not working? The pad has two main purposes, the most important being its relationship to its emission of Far Infrared energy. This energy stimulates circulation, healing and removal of toxins from various parts of your body. This will stimulate your excretory organs to speed up their function. Those organs include the skin, lungs, kidneys, liver, bowels and bladder. most of the detoxification that occurs through these regular channels only increases. When the pads do not get completely wet, it does not mean the product is not working, it just means your body is not excreting any excess fluid from the part of the body on which you are wearing them. In creating the pads, one of the goals was to allow the pads to stay dry as long as possible because once they are wet; they cannot emit the Far Infrared energy. Can I use the pads if I sleep less than 8 hours? you can apply them before bedtime. It is best to wear them when you are relaxed and off your feet. Ultimately you should wear them while sleeping, because it is easier for your body to release toxins while your body is deeply relaxed. It is ok to walk on the pads, but we recommend removing them upon rising, as they may be moist. Is there anything that will enhance their effectiveness? It is wise to wash the site of application, to remove lotions, oils or anything that will block the pores. Soaking your feet in warm water can enhance circulation and aid in opening your pores. you may want to wear socks if your feet get cold. The pads are activated by your body heat and normal skin moisture. be sure to drink plenty of water and assure good contact between foot and pad. If I’m taking medication will using them contradict this? None of the ingredients are taken into your body, so there is no need for concern.

Get Rid of Harmful Toxins With Detox Foot Bath
The human body is constantly under attack from viruses, bacteria, and toxins. these attacks on the immune system can come from the food we eat or the air we breathe. Toxins tend to get stored in the liver until the body can flush them out some how. Detoxing is vital to your health and it gives you more energy and keeps your immune system from being over worked. Detoxing can also help you live a longer and better life.
Some people out there criticize the effectiveness of detoxing your system. Some medical physicians say that body cleansing and detoxification is an elaborate hoax to fight and cure diseases that do not exist. Some doctors out there say that toxins are not real and that the human body is fully capable of naturally cleansing itself. these experts say that the human body does not need any help cleansing the body of impediments and toxins, giving full credit to the natural detoxification system saying that it is versatile and sophisticated.
The environment humans live in is naturally hostile, so our defenses have to be naturally equipped to deal with hostile toxins. Experts warn that you can potentially disrupt your body’s defenses with some detox diets which probably do more harm to your body, than actually helping it. you have to remember that detox diets are dietary plans that make statements to have detoxifying benefits. most scientist and doctors would say that detox diets are harmless, and they criticize the value and need of these diets because of the lack of evidence that they present.
Despite these arguments we know that toxins are poisonous living cell organisms. they are small molecules, proteins, and peptides that are very capable of causing disease on contact. they can vary greatly from a small one like a bee sting to a big and deadly one like the botulinum toxin. Toxins are basically biologically engineered poisons and there are many theories on what constitutes a good detoxification program.
There are many products on the market today for a person to choose from, but there can be some disadvantages to detoxing your own system. most of the time, you will experience diarrhea, or acne as toxins exit your pores, and maybe some vomiting. Many formulas contain milk thistle as the only ingredient, or the main active ingredient. However, another way to get rid of those pesky toxins would be to try a relaxing detox foot bath.
It is just like having a good foot soak at the end of a busy day, only there is a light electrical current that runs through the water. It won’t shock you, but it will cause ions in the water to be positively charged. they go after the toxins in your body, which are negatively charged, and draw them out. When the foot detox bath is complete, you will see the evidence, as the toxins settle to the bottom.
