The foot spas that change color when the "toxins" are drawn out of your body are nothing more than overpriced scams. Please do your research!

An interesting article but it didn't stress the large amount of mercury found in large fish such as tuna. I used to eat about 3 to 4, 6oz cans a week (thinking it was good for my health) and found my concentration and memory were becoming impaired and I also suffered from anxiety attacks. I only related this to a large consumption of mercury when my daughter told me of many articles about it on the net. I now have a maximum of 6oz a week and have found a great improvement in all memory related tasks and the attacks have now gone completely.

Thank you for this informative article. As mentioned in Dr. Clark's books also, detoxifying our bodies from toxic metals is extremely important for our wellbeing. Methods for metal detoxification which I have read about are the use of specific herbs as well as some other techniques used in spas like the one mentioned above. My question however, is, does detoxifying ourselves from metals mean that our bodies would loose Iron too, and thus would cause anemia to those initially suffering from low iron levels? Or is it just the "bad metals" that are drawn out of the body?

Any clue?

After reading this article I began to think of all the detoxification methods on the market and would like to hear from Dr. Mercola which is the best. We have a health spa in our area which offers detoxification where the feet are placed in something and the toxins are drawn out through the feet. Supposedly the solution or pads turn color/black to confirm the release of toxins from the body. Are these methods effective for all ages. I have an autoimmune disorder and would like to rid my body of the many toxins it has accululated over the years. I would like to do the same for my children who are ages 15 and 12. Thank you, Kris.

Also, How does one test for heavy toxins in the body? What test would I request my doctor to order? Blood test? Urinalysis?
