Cell Spa Ionic Detox Foot Bath Machine - Eucalyptus Scented Aqua Spa Cleanse for Relaxation & Detoxification | Perfect for Home Spa & Wellness Routines

I’ve had this machine for a few months now and it has worked as expected. However, the fir belt is cheaply made and probably not that useful anyway.The arm band is a bit flimsy as well and doesn’t really allow much wiggle room because of the length of the cord. Also, the metal on the underside of the band burns. Initially, I didn’t “feel” anything from the band. After a few usages, I noticed tiny blisters on my wrist. I thought I was just allergic to the metal or something. The next few times I felt a bit of a tingle. Then the tingling sensation intensified and when I took the arm band off, there was a circular burn on my wrist?.The arrays that came with the machine worked, but not for as many uses as they say. I ordered several round replacement arrays from different sellers on Amazon and they only worked once if at all. I tried to find arrays for or from Cell Spa. I only found a flat green one. It seems to work but not as well as the round ones that came with the machine.Having the machine but no working arrays isn’t very helpful at all.If I were going to purchase another ionic foot detox machine. I wouldn’t buy one with either of these straps. I’ve had treatments at spas before and I didn’t have to be tethered to the machine.I learned about the detox foot spa concept from a friend of mine - a new-agey type and believer in the concept. I had been experiencing steady weight gain (particularly in the belly), along with fatigue and depression. Noticing that these treatments ran from 30-60 dollars in spas, I decided to go ahead and buy this unit for a seemingly reasonable 150.I have used this unit about four times a week for almost a month now. Doing this scientifically, with no other notable changes to my lifestyle, I have noticed a modest but consistent decrease in my belly size - I no longer feel uncomfortably heavy, just on the higher range of comfortable.It is possible that some of the weight lost is simply water weight; I do notice that the water level rises slightly during usage. But I can tell the difference between water weight and fat, and there has certainly been fat lost as well.I am inclined to believe that this machine is working for two reasons: First, I have been taught that one of the main functions of fat in the body is to provide a place to store toxins. Therefore, if the level of toxicity in the body decreases, the body is free to release some of the fat. I have seen that happen. Secondly, in the waste water left over after usage, I observe not only brown flecks (which I believe are primarily the result of electrolysis, as the skeptics insist) but something more: foaminess and strings of mucus. If it were only brown flecks, I would be skeptical myself, but I recognize the foaminess and mucus as being distinctly organic, and I am positive that they have come from my own body. I sometimes see such things in my own bowel movements.I would like to suggest that perhaps BOTH the skeptics and the believers are right to some extent. True, most of what ends up in the water is simply rust. But there is usually something more in the water that must be coming from your body. And considering that heavy metals and such are very toxic in small amounts, maybe there are things coming out of you in small amounts that are very important.My weight loss has more or less leveled off, and there are certainly other things that I must do to reach my goal (address inflammation and yeast, colon cleansing, for example), I have found the foot spa to be a pretty good value. Certainly do not spend more than $150 on one.I first experienced the use of the machine on a demo from a sales rep. After seeing the toxic waste of multiple individuals I decided to buy one, as well, did some friends of mine. I continued to use the machine for over 2 years and found out that it had helped me drastically. Not only did it reduce my pain, but, also start to heal and restore my liver, itching is a side effect of to much bile production and with having my gallbladder removed. I found I continued to have a greater increase in puritis, aka, itch (that is caused from inflammation and bile salt production from my bad liver and no gallbladder ) after using the machine it removed a lot of the bile, in which my body was holding. As well as it reduced the itching(puritis) .I however, regret to report after a divorce I lost my machine to my ex. Again, the itching has returned and my pain has gotten worse, as well as my liver is reported as depleting, upon a biopsy the physician stated my liver looked as if it was ground hamburger.With that said, I am ordering the same machine again and I can not wait for the device to arrive and relieve me of some of these uncomfortable side effects I am once again experiencing. If you think this machine does not work you are sadly mistaken I am a true witness, I never write or rate a marketed product unless I have used and see great results. And I am in no way getting any kind of reward or revenue for promoting this machine. I just know that using it has helped me. Take warning do not use it daily cause it does remove sodium from you body, which potassium follows sodium, so in a unprofessional manor be sure to have labs drawn and speak with your doctor. I personal found that 2x a week made me feel better and I was less bloated and tired.
