Toxins are becoming a big issue as our environment becomes more polluted. Most of us understand that there are pollutants in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink and the level and types of toxins that now surround us are far too great to list. Some of them occur naturally but most are man-made and it is these toxins that are causing the most concern. The thought of so many heavy metals now showing up in the food is a concern for most everyone, however the real threat comes from all the artificial compounds that are being widely used without almost any understanding of the danger they represent to the human body. Of all the substances we are constantly threatened by, it is the silent action of synthetic hormones that can cause serious damage to the genetics of the individual without them being aware of what is happening. Thanks to products like the Pure Charger Spa, we can start to combat these problems through awareness and with a little help from technology. To understand how the unit assists the body to detoxify itself we need to understand a little about how the body functions and in particular how our cells work. The Basic Cell While there are many cells in our body that perform different functions and have different internal structures they all have some basic function similarities. All our cells need water to survive and work and they all have 3 basic components (excluding red blood cells that eject their nucleus). These components are the Nucleus, the Internal Structure and the Plasma Membrane. Each of these components when combined performs specific functions. Even though they may perform different specific functions they all intake water, metabolize it and eject a waste product called nucleic acid. This waste product is then dealt with by the body's main cleaning systems; being the liver and the kidneys. This flow through system is very important and when something goes wrong; like the cell becoming clogged with toxins, problems begin to occur. When the cell is functioning correctly it has a good flow of liquid (water) going through it. The liquid has two ways to enter and leave the cell structure. The outer membrane or plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier, meaning that it allows some substances to pass while excluding others. When a substance can penetrate the plasma membrane without any energy input from the cell, it is called passive transport. When the cell must provide metabolic energy, the process is called active transport. The movement of water into the cell is an example of passive transport while movement of amino acids and most ions across the membrane is active transport. THE PLASMA MEMBRANE The plasma membrane as well as being selectively permeable has another very important function. It maintains a potential voltage difference between the internal structure of the cell and the intercellular fluid. Scientists are just now starting to realize the importance of the voltage that exists on the membrane itself. Its electrical value plays a part in helping the membrane be selectively permeable. If this voltage drops too low it contributes to loss of cell integrity. What is important here is that it has been scientifically proven that an unhealthy cell has a very poor membrane voltage. There are a lot of things that can start to go wrong when we exert an outside influence on the cell, such as a toxin. Our bodies are more than capable of withstanding low levels of toxins but when these levels rise too high, a chain of events start to take place and the integrity of the cell is compromised. The integrity of the cell can be affected from both the outside or the inside and the toxins that cause the problem do not need to come from an external source, because the cell itself produces a waste product that could be considered as a toxin. As we have already said the body has a natural defense mechanism for removing toxins from the system. In the average individual, these systems are functioning correctly but under load the system can break down and result in a toxin build up. For most people the threat of toxin build up is not only from having the cleaning system not operating correctly, but from the type of toxins we are now exposed too. Some toxins do not remain in the intercellular fluid and become attached to the cell membrane, and if the body is operating below 100% problems can occur. Body Detoxification in Detail The problems that can occur from Toxification are many and the number of ways that the problems start, are also great. There are however, a few basic causes that we can address to understand how the body becomes toxic and how we can resolve the problem by helping the body cope using its natural processes. We are going to examine two basic ways the body becomes toxic in relation to the effect it has on the cell. It should be noted that although these processes are explained individually they can and do all occur simultaneously. 1. Toxification by natural waste product. Toxification by natural waste product is where the body accumulates a build up of the natural waste product from the cell, nucleic waste. This can occur two ways. A. Liver and Kidney function are low and are not extracting all of the waste out of the intercellular fluid (blood). B. Toxin build-up on the plasma membrane, restricting all of the waste product from leaving the interior of the cell. The basic function of the cell is explained next. Water enters the cell via passive transport, and water then reacts with the Internal Cell Structure and the Nucleus. The product of the reaction between water, Internal Cell Structure and the Nucleus is Nucleic Waste. The cell is very efficient when functioning fully and reacts with all the water on a 1:1 basis meaning all of the water is used with an equal amount of nucleic waste being produced. A. LOW LIVER & KIDNEY FUNCTION When liver and kidney function is low the intercellular fluid becomes contaminated with waste product. What happens then is instead of just water entering the cell; the water becomes a combination of water and nucleic waste. This causes changes in the reaction inside the cell. Now there is a water, Internal cell structure and nucleus reaction, which is not how the cell is supposed to work. The cell is no longer operating efficiently and the metabolic energy being used is wasteful. B. EXTERNAL TOXIC BUILD UP External toxin build up is when toxins begin to accumulate on the outside of the cell. One of the causes of this is when the membrane voltage is poor; the toxins can stick to the membrane. This deprives the cell of the natural flow of water into it and also restricts the exit of the nucleic waste. Once again cell function is compromised so the cell can no longer function correctly. The process is cyclic, the more the toxins build up the less efficient the cell becomes and therefore, the longer this goes on, the harder it is to reverse the process. There are two processes the body uses to solve this problem. i. Receiving from external sources what is required to raise the membrane voltage. ii. The white blood cells. 2. Toxification by low level artificial toxins Toxification by low level artificial toxins is where a toxin has managed to penetrate the cell membrane and enter into the internal structure. Toxins can achieve this in times of low cell integrity. White blood cells play a part in this operation. One of the things white blood cells do is clean the toxins off of the plasma membrane of the cells. White blood cells damage the membrane during the process of removal leaving it temporarily vulnerable. Once a toxin has entered into the internal structure of the cell it causes problems. To eject the toxin the cell requires metabolic energy to perform active transport; that is, the cell needs to use its own energy to eject the invader. If the cell does not have the spare energy to do this a build up can start. The white blood cells clean the cells in the body. When a white blood cell removes a toxin from the outer surface of the cell it causes some damage. If the cell can not repair in time, it is vulnerable and toxins can enter into the cell. 3. Toxification by external influences This is the most unfortunate method to accumulate toxins into the body. Because we cannot control the amount of toxins we ingest each day, we sometimes do not realize we even have a toxic body. Using methods such as water and air purification will help lessen the toxins from coming into our body, but this is merely a band aid. Elimination is an ongoing event and the use of detox products such as an Ionic Foot Bath is necessary. Sweat therapy using Far Infrared Saunas are also very effective. These 2 methods will help expel toxins out of the body through the skin and prevent overloading the liver and kidneys. My Experience: Personally,I have experimented with several ionic foot baths and I have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of hype out there, particularly from manufacturers and practitioners who simply pass on prior information without questioning it. Many of my clients are quite fragile and I became quite concerned about the sludge in the water. Many practitioners will tell the client that the sludge in the water is toxicity coming out of them. This is hogwash. If that were the case the client would be dead. They also tell the client that the color of the sludge indicates detox from different parts of the body. Once again this is hogwash. There has never been any rerearch conducted in this area to indicate this. The sludge in the water is from the breakdown of the water array of most types of foot bath. The breakdown of the water array's rings and clips which represent an entire after market source of income for manufacturers, disintegrate due to the action of electrolysis. This creates heavy metal oxides in the water! Conduct a simple test. Turn your unit on and let it run for a half hour without anyone ever putting a hand or foot in the water and examine what you have. You will have a thick sludge that is all colors of the rainbow. The truth is that within 2-3 minutes of start up all of these units simply are not effective because the sludge compromises the action of eletrolysis. They certainly don't re-establish the proper eletrical differential of the sodium/potassium pump and may contribute to introducing heavy metals into the body terrain! This my concern! There are a lot of things happening along the cell membrane. Many would say that poor nutrition and poor air quality are the major contributing factors. Yes, they are contributing factors but may not be the most significant factor. Dr. Candice Peart in her book "Molecules of Emotion," makes the point that our emotions are not solely in the brain but are on the neuropeptide/neurotransmitter chain of every cell membrane of every cell in the body! A few years back an experiment was conducted where the breath of a very angry man was captured and exposed to 100 guinea pigs in a confined environment. Eighty-eight died within one hour. Conclusion: our negative emotions possibly more than anything else are the major contributing factor to dis-ease which ultimately manifests in disease. As a result, re-establishing the proper electromagnetic charge of the interstitial sea (fluid around the cells) and the fluid within the cell is critical. Footbaths that create sludge in the water hinder this process and may actually be contributing factors to contamination of the cell terrain. Of all the units that I have tried, only one performs really well. Its called the "Pure Charger Spa," and is made from components that do not break down. There are no rings and clips, so there is no secondary marketing or costs. It is meant to be submerged, so you can put it in the bath tub. There is no mess to clean up. There is no toxic waste. There is no need to purchase plastic bags to cover your bath container. It is built to last and there is only one button to turn on. The unit has an intelligence system whereby it automatically adjusts to the water terrain. Recently, I did a before and after test of the Pure Charger Spa with the Electro-Interstitial Scan Technology. This is a technology that is relatively new to North America but very popular in Europe with Doctors and Natural Therapists. EIS scans the body 22 different ways and compares the results against a database of 60,000 scans and provides color coded indicators of inflammation within the body. Inflammation is an indicator of hot spots or areas of concern within the body. The subject had indicators of "hot spots in the brain, the entire spine and digestive track were inflamed. Normally I would do a 24-32 minute bath of feet only or a 15-17 minute session of both hands and feet. However in this case time was of the essence and I conducted a 5 minute hand bath and a 15 minute foot bath and the subject went back on the EIS to check the results. The results indicated no inflammation in the brain, inflammation in the spine had cleared up by about 85-90%, the digestive tract was clearing and we could witness the toxicity being drawn right down the legs. It was to say the least, jaw droppingly amazing! Without a doubt, I am convinced of the effectiveness of the Pure Charger Spa and was asked to become a distributor for the Pure Charger Spa.
