Why detoxify the body with an Optimum Focus Footbath ?
Today we live in an overly toxic environment. We are more aware of the correlation between consumption and absorption of man made toxins and their effect on our well being physically, mentally and emotionally. We retain toxins daily from the pollution in the air, cleaning products, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, and especially the chemicals, pesticides and acid in our foods. The market is filled with food items which are processed, overcooked, and canned, and which contain disagreeable amounts of derivatives, artificial flavors, preservatives, etc. This can’t be ignored any more as scientists continue to link their toxicity within our bodies to the increase of severity and occurrences of illness. Can you imagine how dangerous these toxins are after circulating in our bloodstream for decades? It’s no wonder we have epidemics of chronic fatigue and cancers.
At any given moment you may be exposed to toxins and heavy metals that build and collect in your body, affecting everything you do. Body fats have been tested that contain the residue of hundreds of chemicals. Metals, such as mercury and cadmium, are everywhere and impossible to avoid. Lead can block red blood cell formation. Chemicals can act as toxins that block cellular receptor sites, selectively killing cells, as well as altering the expression of genes. Metals and chemical toxins weaken the immune system and cause increased vulnerability to viruses and bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections. In attempts to detoxify these substances, our bowels, kidneys and liver are being overloaded.
Mild Symptoms of Toxicity are:
Headaches, lethargy, obesity, constipation, bad breath, anxiety, poor skin, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, forgetfulness, allergies, poor circulation, cellulite, slow recovery from illness and injury
Severe symptoms of Toxicity are:
High blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, heart problems, kidney failure, auto-immune diseases and cancers.
The Optimum Focus Footbath provides a full toxin purge of all vital organs, resulting in the recreation of the correct frequency required for cells to return to a healthy state. This allows a greater level of waste products that have been bonded to these cells over the years to be released. This detoxification therapeutic procedure helps your body to regulate nutrients and oxygen to the tissues enhancing the effects of any other helpful therapies.
Almost everyone will benefit from an Optimum Focus Footbath treatment because reducing the high toxic load within our body enables our systems to perform better. Those with musculo-skeletal disorders notice the biggest changes. Clinics are also finding that it is helping athletes recover faster by reducing inflammation and lactic acid build up.

What is ph and how does the Optimum Focus Footbath affect it?
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic, while those with a pH greater than 7 are considered basic (alkaline). According to many health researchers, total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.
Our bodies are not in the natural ph balance that they should be. Most Americans are in somewhat of an acid state. What is the result of this acidic state? Well, by now you should start having a good idea. Pick your disease; choose your imbalance. Cancer, arthritis, chronic fatigue, allergies, obesity, just name it. If you don’t feel good, one of the basic things that stand between you and the perfect health is your body’s pH. The Optimum Focus Footbath helps to balance your body’s pH to an alkaline state leaving your body stronger and better able to fight illness and disease.

Why use a copper tub and Himalayan salt for the Optimum Focus Footbath?
The copper tub used to submerge the clients’ feet into in conjunction with Optimum Focus Footbath sessions acts as an additional conductor thereby making the treatment all that more powerful. A Plastic tub is not a conductive material so as the energy comes out of the water module the energy dissipates as it moves away from the water module. With the copper tub it is amplified because copper is a conductor.
Copper tubs will lengthen the life of the Optimizer Water Module due to the conductivity of the copper thereby needing less current from the unit to achieve the same AMPs. Copper also resonates a certain healing frequency. People wear copper on their body for healing.
The copper tub is handmade and 100% copper with no beryllium. Beryllium is a carcinogen and it is what creates the green patina, so in essence you don’t have to polish the tubs.
We have chosen to use the Himalayan Crystal Salt because of its balanced crystalline structure, which can be easily metabolized by the body. Regular Table Salt is processed & has lost its natural crystalline structure.

What are the directions and precautions for using the Optimum Focus Footbath ?
The Optimum Focus Footbath is painless and takes about 35 minutes. A practitioner fills the copper tub with water and adds a little Himalayan salt. Any jewelry that would be immersed in the water should be removed before the session (ankle bracelets and toe rings). The client then immerses his/her feet into the tub. During the footbath, you can actually see the process taking place as the water interacts with the compound electric current and magnetic field structures. At the end of your session, you clean and wipe your feet and you’re done.
After the session is complete, most of you will be able to go back to work or do any daily activities that you would normally do. However, the more toxic you are to begin with, the bigger of an effect each bath will have on you, so we recommend that if you feel you are really toxic or really sensitive, please leave some space to rest and sleep after your session.
Drinking plenty of good water (not distilled) before, during and after the session is very important as well as the use of minerals and electrolytes (check out our Waiora liquid multi-vitamin-mineral under nutritional support products). We also recommend that you drink plenty of water for the rest of the day to continue flushing the released toxins out of your body. The mineral supplement replenishes the minerals that naturally bind with the heavy metals and toxins that are eliminated into the bath during detoxification. If you do feel tired after your footbath just take it easy for the rest of the day.
Contraindications for use of the Optimum Focus Footbath are individuals with pacemakers, organ transplants, expectant or nursing mothers, children younger than 4, epileptic, hemophiliac, or those on blood thinners. There may be other situations in which you shouldn’t use this unit. Please consult your healthcare provider if you are uncertain.

How often should I do a Detox Footbath?
Usually a group of 10-14 sessions are recommended no closer apart than every 2-3 days for optimal results followed by 1-2 times a month for maintenance. Daily treatments may create a healing crisis as the body naturally eliminates toxins and can lead to excessive fatigue. Those under 10 and over 65 years of age are recommended to no more than 2 times per week.

What do the different colors in the water from the Optimum Focus Footbath mean?
It has been stated by various companies that the watercolors relate to different organ cellular waste and other body parts. We do not support this analysis of water. There is no scientific data supporting this analysis & some colors can appear without a body. Not all impurities can be seen with the naked eye just as you cannot see the impurities in water. In order to prove that this process does pull out impurities, we have preformed control tests (click here for test results) showing that heavy metals exist in the water after the 35-minute bath & also encapsulated on the water modules' rings. When water samples are tested by labs we need to specify what to test for & since the range of impurities a body may contain are too many to specify, we decided to focus on heavy metals. At minimum this proved that particles are moving out of the body.
More important than the color change is an oily substance on the surface thereby indicating energy being produced (called EMASS by researchers) and the change in color of the urine caused by the release of toxins & stimulation & elimination of the lymphatic system.
With different water conditions your Optimum Focus Footbath unit will not necessarily cause color changes in the water; however, the very process of electrolysis of the water causes color changes in the water. This is called oxidation (which is mainly the orange color, not joints as what is stated in the color charts). The interaction of the Optimizer Water Module with the City added chemicals can cause quite a discoloration in the water and must neutralize those chemicals and energize the water. Some sediment is seen depending upon the amounts of solids that are inherent in water to begin with. The final result has to do with the health of the person being treated. This will then determine the water color change.
The color of the water differs for each individual and can be different each session. If you put the Optimizer into water by itself you might see color changes in the water due to the chemical reaction of the electrolytic process on what is already in the water, but it is fairly subtle compared to having the feet immersed. The more you use the machine the less you will have colored build up in the water, reinforcing how clean your body is getting.

What are the potential side effects of the Optimum Focus Footbath?
There are no documented harmful side effects from the Optimum Focus Footbath. As I mentioned in my own experience I did feel like I needed a bit of rest. Most of my patients felt immediately energized and slept “better than they had before” (that’s been the most common first response). The more toxic or sensitive you are, the more intense the results might be. Some people feel depressed, angry or have emotional upheaval after detoxifying because physical toxins create emotional responses and while being released into the bloodstream create emotional affects. It’s a good sign, but we tend to spread out the sessions if that occurs. We don’t want anyone acting out in their daily life in a way that would have negative long term repercussions on their relationships.
