The Ion Foot Cleanse What can the Ion Foot Cleanse do for YOU? Ion Cleanse sessions provide a thorough and efficient way to detoxify the body of toxins and wastes, in combination with healthy lifestyle choices. A series of Ion Cleanse sessions will help you to maintain high energy levels and long-term wellness. How does the Ion Cleanse Work? An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron, and created a magnetic field capable of neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are pulled out of the body through the skin via a process called osmosis, or the movement of the particles through a membrane, from a lower concentration to a higher one. In this case, the higher concentration is the ion field set up by the array in the water. The array, in combination with its metals, the salt and water generate positive or negatively charged ions by separating the water into oxygen and hydrogen. These ions travel through the body and attach themselves to many different toxic substances. These are then pulled out of the body into the water.When the ion cleanse is set on positive, the current is directed to the positive pole and creates negative ions. This raises the blood pH from acidic to alkaline. When it is set on the negative ion field the current is on the positive pole and creates positive ions. It lowers the blood pH from alkaline toward acidic.
