Japanese Toxin Sucking Footpad Thingies
Fake as glasstopped Cohibas, legendary Volvo reliability and Jimmy Swaggart all rolled into one.

All Things Considered, August 18, 2008 ·

The newest craze in consumer health is adhesive pads filled with "detox" herbs that supposedly suck toxins out of the bottom of our feet while we sleep.
An analysis at a California laboratory shows no significant difference between used and unused pads.



Darn it. And I thought they made me look better, too.

Re: Japanese Toxin Sucking Footpad Thingies
My rule of thumb: Any medical product that mentions the word "toxins" is a scam.

My rule is that if Billy Mays and co. is selling it then it doesn't work.

Only if you put them on your face.

The only thing that stuff sucks out is the extra cash in your wallet. But if the placebo effect makes you think you feel better, do you actually feel better?

Actually, I use Oxyclean to restore vulcanite stems on estate pipes.

If Japan had a 'Billy Mays'... it would likely be a best-seller. Maybe they do have a national guy??

You got me there. Oxy Clean is actually pretty good stuff. But I can get it in a store.

Depends on what types of pads... and where you put them!
