So, my mom tried these treatments and claims they actually worked for her. She usually struggles with swelling in her legs, which makes walking pretty rough, but after a few sessions, she says she was practically sprinting up the stairs. Now she's thinking about buying a machine herself, so I've started doing some "research" into whether this stuff actually does anything.
The thing is, I've been browsing some international sites that claim this is all just a massive scam...
How reliable is this source?
Alright, here's the update!
I didn't ghost the thread; I've just been trying to find a cheap way to get these damn tests done while juggling a few other things at once.
Basically, I tried hitting up two or three places to see if they'd run the samples for free, but it turns out they don't have the specific equipment for the types of analysis I'm looking for. And even where they could technically do it, they won't touch it because it falls outside their scope of work.
In the end, my dad just bit the bullet and bought a Hydra Wellness—specifically the The SpaFinder—and dropped $450 on it. We all did a session.
Anyway, ignore any talk about rust; the manual itself mentions that possibility.
Dad went first. The water turned so brown and murky we couldn't even see his toes in the tub. Since the electrodes were brand new, I doubt there was enough rust to cause that much discoloration on the first go. Based on the color and the stench of his water, it looked like he had issues with his bones and liver—which, funnily enough, is actually true.
Next was me, and my water turned orange, with a layer of grease floating on top like someone had dumped a spoonful of oil into the tank. The smell was intense. According to the indicators, I have issues with my urinary tract, reproductive organs, and bones—again, all spot on.
Third, we let the machine run by itself. The water changed color only slightly to a pale orange, but it stayed clear and didn't look anything like what happens when you actually soak your feet in it.
Fourth, my boyfriend tried it. His result was slightly better than my dad's, though he had foam on the surface, which apparently indicates air in the digestive tract... and yeah, he deals with major bloating.
🤔 Honestly, I don't know what to make of it... maybe you need a certain number of sessions and real consistency to see any meaningful improvement.
The only testing I could manage to do at home was using urine test strips. It showed the pH shifted to alkaline (8-9), detected protein residues (could just be skin cells), and trace amounts of nitrites and ketones.
So, that's the status report.
Regarding that website, I assume the County Department of Public Health wouldn't be publishing that kind of data if it wasn't legitimate.
