Institute of Functional Medicine: Water Detoxification

Water Detoxification is an ideal procedure for those patients who tend to party way too hard! This include ‘activities’ like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and staying up late. Moreover, Water Detoxification serves as a great healing tool for those with heavy metal poisoning. The chemicals involved typically include mercury or copper for instance.

Causes (& Effects) of Heavy Metal Poisoning

Every day, we come into contact with trace amounts of heavy metals, like when you use mercury to check the temperature on your thermometer. And when metals enter your body, it can lead to heavy metal toxicity. If you are exposed to high concentrations of metal, such as:

  • Consuming a lot of metal-containing food, such as fish.
  • Consuming water from outdated water supply infrastructure.
  • Using metals in the course of work.
  • Taking supplements or prescription drugs that contain a lot of metals.

Now, when metals enter your body, they usually do so in a tiny (molecular) form. You won’t be able to see them because they are so tiny. Your body can become exposed to heavy metals by:

  • Becoming absorbed by your skin.
  • Inhaling or breathing in little metal particles.
  • Consuming the metal by eating, drinking, or ingestion from food or water.

Unfortunately, if you come into contact with heavy metals, your health could be in danger. Some heavy metals are dangerous despite the fact that we use and come into touch with metals on a regular basis because the molecules that make them up damage or negatively impact the body’s cells, which are essential to the healthy functioning of your organs. The liver and brain are two crucial organs that can suffer damage from an excessive buildup of metals in the body.

What’s the “Water Detoxification” Process?

Now, the physics behind the awesome 30 minute painless treatment remains very simple: Heavy metals are positively charged. As such, they are drawn out of our lymphatic drainage in our feet. You can conduct this with the negatively charged plates of the water detox device.

Here’s what YOU, the patient, need to do: First, dip your feet into the clear water and allow 30 minutes to pass. And after those 30 minutes are up, you can truly appreciate the horrible toxins which exiting out of your system; the coloring of the water should exhume various shades of brown and black.
