There are many ways to cleanse your body of heavy metals. The accumulation of heavy metals in our body through the food that we consume and the water that we drink had caused serious damage to some of our vital organs such as kidneys, bones and brains. Due to the awareness of the need to detoxify ourselves, many products have found their way into the market to fulfil this need.

You would perhaps ask, how did heavy metal toxins get into our body in the first place. There are many ways how heavy metals found their way into our body. Most of these are from the food that we eat and the water that we drink. Some also entered our body system through skin contact.

All these had provided plenty of business opportunity for the introduction of many types of products into the market. Water filtering systems get more complex by the day and each claimed to be superior than existing product. Recent years also saw the increase of health supplement and medicines that can rid our body of toxins.

Consumers will try any new product to detoxify themselves. There are reports that suggest that heavy metal detoxification with food pads work. Many had rejected outright the product even without giving them a try. At the moment, there are as many positive reviews about detox foot pads as there are negative reviews.

With so many products and information, how do you know which product is reliable? It is therefore important for consumers to be well-educated on the subject. There are many ways how you can get yourself well-educated about all these health products. One of this is to read and ask plenty of questions. You may also subscribe to free medical magazines.

Always ask for proof in the form of testimonials from satisfied consumers and for test reports conducted in accredited laboratory. In assessing whether a product is effective or not in detoxifying our body, hair analysis is the most popular method.

Due to the structure of the hair and the way how blood vessels supply it with vitamins and mineral, the hair can accumulate up to thirty minerals and trace elements. By analysing the hair for contents of heavy metals and elements, one is able to tell if the content had increased or decreased.

Many researches have been conducted in Japan to determine the effectiveness of detox foot pads in eliminating heavy metal toxins from our body. Volunteers of different gender and from various age groups were asked to use the detox foot patches on daily basis. Hair from the volunteers were extracted before and during the trial period.

Test results have shown significant drop in heavy metal contents in volunteers’ hair after continuous usage of the detoxification foot patches after three months. If the test had proven the effectiveness of the foot patches in detoxification, it will be the most convenient way to cleanse your body.

Foot patches are to be applied to the bottom of your foot every night before you go to bed. The bottom of our foot contains many acupressure and reflexology points that affect the health of various organs in our body. While this knowledge may be something new to the Westerners, Oriental health experts have long known about this.
