Kinoki Detox Pads

Erin Inquires: Can you tell me how Kinoki Detox Foot Pads work or is it a hoax?

I was excited when I first found Beauty Brains, but now I’m proceeding with caution ever since I found the Kinoxi detox pads thread.

Kinoki Detox Pads use the natural cleansing power of double distilled bamboo vinegar and other natural ingredients to capture toxins.

I just now searched the internet using www.411locate.com and entered the address listed on the sales receipt from Kinoki Detox: “1955 Swarthmore, Suite 3, Lakewood, NJ 08701″.

Having finally received the footpads six weeks after ordering them , the first night’s results are in.

In a high quality pad the ingredients are typically proportioned as follows: 60% pyroligneous acid powder 10% starch product, often lecithin 20% sorbitol or similar other non essential ingredients like tourmaline, germanium, grapefruit, green tea, glucosamine, etc, etc etc, are provided at 2 or 3% to match the requirement of the brand marketer.

You put the pads on your feet, your feet sweat right?

There were some interesting points made there, however, it mentioned that the detox foot baths have chemicals in it to make it change colors, and it absolutely DOES NOT.

If the main ingredient is vinegar then maybe the more vinegar you have on your foot that effects the pads ability to interact with your sweat and so it doesn’t turn as brown.

The best I have read so far and only one that would solve all is: Take a used pad and have it tested.

Everyone keeps saying that the only way to tell is to test the pads before and after - so I’m going to attempt to do just that.

I’ll tell you what, the next time you have a real illness like cancer, diabetes or a broken arm, put a pad on it.

What I’m wondering is, when was it proven not to work?

You could even have your hair, bones, or skin examined for toxins” than used foot pads.

I’ve used the footpads during two runs of consecutive nights.

I am a chemistry teacher and ordered the foot pads to teach my students why they should NOT bother to purchase products such as the KINOKI pads.

I use a different brand of foot pad.

Reflexologists know about the healing power of foot detoxification.

I did use another brand and it works,the product I use is higher than Kinoki I wanted to try this and see how it works.

Foot pads can’t remove all your body toxins though the feet only the bowels and urine tract can do that.

I don’t see any side effects, but I detox alot and work in sun everyday and sweat is natures way of detox.

It seems so many people here are seeking ways to detox please let me list how I detoxed plus rid my body of heavy metal.

The fact that you are having trouble receiving your monthly shipments of your “lifetime supply” should be the finalizing proof that these detox foot pads are a rip-off, just another TV scam.

I put 5 drops of distilled water on one of the pads and it did the same thing - dark brown.

I had slightly colored ones in the beginning, but after taking good supplements, the pads starting coming out clean.

“20/20″ asked NMS Labs, a national laboratory in Willow Grove, Pa., that performs toxicology testing, to analyze the used Kinoki and Avon pads from eight of our group to see what we could find on the pads.

I’d also bet that if you put any kind of clean white cloth pad on your feet overnight it would accumulate dirt, sweat and sebum from the skin that would discolor the pad and simulate “toxins” .

The product is also doing exactly what it claimed to do.

It sounds like the foot pad “detox” companies are getting into an advertising war.

More on the competing, nonsensical claims of the foot pad manufacturers here .

Simply place one pad on the sole of each foot before going to bed and remove in the morning.
