i don't know what kind of ionic footbath you used, marc.
i see there are many different kinds.
this one is very gentle, but it seems to work.
my legs appear to be healing old shin wounds even in
the two weeks that i have been using the foot baths -
four total, 2x/week. i think gentle is better, as long as
it actually accomplishes something. this is what i used,
as i have made colloidal silver with a similar setup and i
figured it would also work for the foot bath. sorry if the
instructions are not technically worded, but ? :
INGREDIENTS...
2 9-volt batteries
2 sets of alligator clips (i got mine at radio shack)
2 pieces of stainless steel (some people use tableware)
i found lovely thin stainless steel strips at a hardware
store for $1.50 each... approx 3/4" wide
a water bucket that is big enough for your feet + 6" -
like a plastic dish pan or food storage container -
but don't use it for food after you've used it for your
feet unless you clean it VERY well
pleasantly hot water + more very hot water in a pitcher,
to add to the water in the bucket as it cools
if you live in a soft water area, you will need salt - if you
live in an extremely hard water area, you might not
need much salt, if any. some use distilled water +
celtic salt. hard water already has LOTS of minerals.
people use anywhere from 1/4 to 1 teaspoon salt
it's nice to have a warm foot bath waiting to clean your
feet afterward, and a towel you don't mind getting
stained from the minerals
---
INSTRUCTIONS...
bend the stainless steel strips so that they hook over
the top of the water tub. one is bent at 90 degrees to
the side of the tub, so it lays on the bottom and the
other, i bent to 45 degrees so that when they are on
opposite sides of the water bucket, they do not touch.
i position them at the far end of the water container.
hook one end of each alligator clip to a strip of steel,
on the outside of the water bucket.
assemble the batteries together -
smaller round thing on top of one battery fits into the
larger round thing on top of the other battery. now
you have 18 volts total... maybe i should have said,
connect negative pole of one battery to the positive
pole of the other battery.
then clip the remaining end of each alligator clip set to
the remaining round thing on each battery.
put your feet in the water - do not touch the steel.
it's ok to wiggle your toes... just don't let them
touch the metal strips.
enjoy for .5 - .75 hours.
remove feet from water.
detach alligator clip from one piece of steel or detach
batteries from one another...
clean feet.
discard foot bath water in a rocky place outdoors...
not in your garden. clean water container well.
that's how i've been doing it and it feels like a it is
doing a good job. like i said, i had some very intense
injuries to my shins last year and the scars appear to
be healing over so they are no longer noticeable.
love, patricia

Just be careful with those ionic footbaths -- I do agree that they have the potential
to help, but they also have the potential to make things worse. In my case, the
last ionic footbath I tried definitely made things worse. :-(
