The business offers “Ionic Foot Detox” BBB requested substantiation of the following claims with scientific, clinical studies to support them.



“Ionic Foot Detox

Detoxification is the process of removing toxic elements like heavy metals, mold, yeast, fungus, pesticides, preservatives and other chemicals from the body.  

Detoxification is the first step in any treatment plan when fighting chronic disease and striving to improve overall health.  

Your feet will be placed in a warm water foot soak, using sea salt & direct current; which breaks the water into positively charged hydrogen ions and oxygen gas.  The positive ions bond to the negatively charged ions that are attached to toxins and then pulled and released though your feet.  

BENEFITS

Improved immune system

Prevention of chronic disease

Reduced chronic pain/inflammation

Increased energy & focus

Better skin health

Improved circulation

Improved digestion & nutrient absorption”



The business provided the following response:

"IV vitamin hydration and ionic foot detoxification is based on a functional medicine and alternative medicine approach. The results are individualized reported results from actual clients/patients.  At this time I am comfortable with my website; my site was reviewed by other colleagues who operate similar businesses.


NYS Board of Nursing and Pharmacy reported “IV hydration is in a grey area”.


The business has also added general disclaimers but has not provided substantiation of advertised medicinal and therapeutic claims.



BBB's Code of Advertising #34. Claimed Results states:

Claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data.
