rhauptman's posterous http://rhauptman.posterous.com detox your body - live a healthy life without toxins! posterous.com Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:33:15 -0700 Something to think about http://rhauptman.posterous.com/something-to-think-about http://rhauptman.posterous.com/something-to-think-about I received my latest order of Miracle Soap this week (this is what I use for my skin -- cleanser, shampoo, moisturizer:) and in it came with an information brochure with some very interesting and thought provoking information in it. Here is one of the paragraphs:

"Despite all of the life saving technology and wonder drugs available to us, why is it we are seeing a vast increase of chronic disease in our country? Scientific data is showing us our immune systems are more burdened than ever. Could it be due to the five billion pounds of toxic chemicals that have been dumped into our ecosystem? The statistics speak for themselves. Fortunately, though, people are starting to realize their need to take responsibility for their health and are discovering the amazing amount of information available concerning wellness. Medical professionals are doing the best job they know how treating the symptoms of our diseases. However, maybe it is time to take a look at what our role is in maintaining good health!"

I agree that our medical community treats symptoms very well. They are on the leading edge of all the technological breakthroughs. But we don't need more medications. I truly believe our bodies can heal themselves if we just detox our bodies, and get rid of all the toxic waste and chemicals inside ourselves. If our bodies can miraculously heal a cut when it is clean, why can't the rest of our body be healed if we also keep it clean?

You are welcome to a free sample of my detox foot pads -- just visit my website and send an email through the contact us form (free shipping to the U.S.) try them out. You can be on your way to a healthy body, free of toxins.

Have a fun journey!

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:34:03 -0700 10 Steps To Optimal Health http://rhauptman.posterous.com/10-steps-to-optimal-health http://rhauptman.posterous.com/10-steps-to-optimal-health I have to say that there are a lot of folks out there who are very ill, even if they don't know it. And those who have been degrading their bodies for decades, following the steps below WILL help. Except it won't help overnight. It is a long-term change. If you have been polluting your body for 50 years, it may take YEARS of living healthy to make all the chronic illnesses go away. And, it isn't feasible to expect yourself to do every single one of these 10 things, right away. But, doing these things, following these steps, WILL help with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, gout, chronic illness, neurological disorders, migraines, weight gain, etc.

 1. STOP putting toxins in your body. Stop eating fast food, canned/processed food, artificial sweeteners (especially diet soft drinks). Of course this is next to impossible, unless you go on a raw/organic diet, but do the best you can. Every little bit helps.
 2. Take the toxins OUT of your body. Detox your liver, kidneys, do a bowel cleanse, a juice fast, detox foot pads, whatever you feel most comfortable doing to get the toxins out. (of course my detox foot pads are my choice method!)
 3. Put wholesome nutrients INTO your body. An organic whole food supplement like Sea Silver or Sea Power Plus is the best, if you don’t eat enough fruits and veggies. Also, make sure you eat enough fiber!
 4. Drink at least 75 oz. of purified, distilled, or spring water daily. Avoid city tap water if at all possible.
 5. Exercise at least 3 times a week. Try to get at least some exercise every day.
 6. Rest well. Shoot for 8 hours of sleep a night, preferably between 10pm and 6am.
 7. Relax, meditate, pray. Whatever your spiritual beliefs are, try to spend at least a few minutes a day relaxing, meditating or praying. De-compress.
 8. Smile and Laugh. Not only is laughter contagious, it lifts your mood, decreases stress and makes you more beautiful.
 9. Love. Love yourself and others.
10. Do a kind deed for someone. Niceness and charitable actions will improve your mood, your health and your heart.

By following the above steps, which are simple actions, you can live life to the fullest, and feel healthy, vibrant and have more energy than you ever knew was possible. Good luck, and God Bless.

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 17:28:46 -0700 HOW DETOX FOOT PADS WORK http://rhauptman.posterous.com/how-detox-foot-pads-work http://rhauptman.posterous.com/how-detox-foot-pads-work Practitioners around the world know that toxins are one of the primary causes of diseases in people today. The Detox Foot Pad from Purify Your Body removes the toxins from the body, which results in the removal of pain and diseases.

The key to healthy living lies in having a clean bloodstream. Contaminated blood is not favorable for good health. The best way to cleanse the bloodstream is to detoxify the body.

The growth process of trees is a boundless source of knowledge and unexplained powers. Even under the worst weather conditions, trees can still grow and flourish for thousands of years on their own. If we could unlock the secret of the trees and apply it to humans, we could find the key to longer life expectancy.     
After 26 years of research and development, it was discovered that the wood vinegar essence found in oak, beech and sakura trees has the ability to absorb toxins, on top of other beneficial medical properties. The Detox Foot Pad’s toxin absorbent is made from a unique combination of wood vinegar essence, and eight other ingredients.

 
According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 found on the soles of the feet. The feet are known as the 2nd heart because they are the reflective zones of our major internal organs. They are also the favorite homes for toxins. When the blood circulates to the soles of our feet, the Foot pad extracts the toxins from the acupuncture points. The pad is normally applied to the soles of the feet.

After only one night of application, there will be significant changes to the smell and color of the pad. The white pad will turn darker, from brown to grayish black; there will be a visible reduction in the stain and odor of the pad, indicating the effective extraction of toxins from the body.

          In addition, there are also reports of success for patients suffering from migraines, fibromyalgia, inflammation, rheumatism, kidney problems, painful and swollen legs, insomnia and headaches.

The Detox Foot Pads help the body achieve its optimum state of health by improving blood circulations, increasing metabolism, activating blood cells, providing relief for joint pains, enhancing quality sleep and expelling unhealthy bodily fluids.

Besides its holistic healing effects, it is also safe to use. The Detox Foot Pads do not make medication less effective. In fact, the removal of toxins from the body will make the medication work more effectively. The pads remove only cellular wastes from the body. They are like garbage men…. The pads only pick up what has already been thrown away. They have been shown to pull out toxic metals, like mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead and even nicotine!

CLEAN YOUR BODY NOW!!!

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:24:04 -0700 Do Detox Foot Pads Work? http://rhauptman.posterous.com/do-detox-foot-pads-work http://rhauptman.posterous.com/do-detox-foot-pads-work I am asked this question quite often by my friends, after they learn about Purify Your Body and my detox foot pads that I sell. I love this question, because I can tell them all the evidence that I have, but the best way to make them believers is to have them try it for themselves. So I give them some samples, and tell them how to go about using them. If they have migraines, or sinus or allergy issues, I tell them to put them on their toes. If they have breathing issues, then I tell them to put them on the balls of their feet. Then, I let my foot pads do the rest.

Granted, there is a huge difference in say, kinoki detox foot pads, and mine. Also a huge difference in my foot pads compared to the popular Japanese ones that advertise "gold" patches, or "silver" patches. See, they have fillers in them. Fillers, like cornstarch. (disguised as vegetable fiber or dextrin in their ingredients list) It isn't going to harm you, but it is a cheap filler to make their foot pads less expensive to manufacture. And of course, more profit for them. Greedy bastards! In some of them, they have over 50% of this "filler" material. That means that even if they have the important ingredients (wood vinegars, tourmaline, etc) they have at least 50% less than my detox foot pads.

I offer a money back guarantee as well, because I know mine will work. And, I offer free shipping, to the U.S. and military bases. I love our military, and am happy to say I have quite a few customers that are actively serving our country. I feel good about offering them a great deal on a great product, and usually throw in an extra pack as a "thank you".

So, to get to the root of the question "Do Detox Foot Pads Work?" I will focus on Purify Your Body's brand of detox pads only. Because I KNOW for a certainty that they work. (and they are usually cheaper than the other brands, to boot!)

1. Testing.
There are two different types of testing that I had done. One, was very expensive and was looking for microbes, heavy metals, plastic by products, etc. and it was done at a University lab here in town. These types of tests run in the hundreds of dollars. When I had my test done, I was amazed at what was found. There were many different types of heavy metals, PCBs, chemical substances that I didn't recognize the name for, ethyl alcohol, etc. They also tested an unused, unopened foot pad. They told me that they need something to compare it to. So that got me thinking about having a "control" -- many different types of research studies use "controls" to establish a baseline. Well, you learn something new everyday, and it makes sense!

The second type of test is a simple test done using a syncrometer. This is usually around $25-$50 per pair of foot pads. Whether you decide to use one of the pair as a "control" well, that is your decision to make. I ran one under water, I sent a blank one, and I sent one from my left and from my right foot. Yes, the one with water came back with some heavy metals, which made me want to not use my faucet again. The control was blank from the specific contaminants they test for (they test for a list of substances, and test negative or positive for that specific substance, i.e. for mercury, or for arsenic, or for cadmium, or aluminum, etc.). The foot pads that I had used were disgustingly filled with almost all toxins they tested for. (well, I think like 8 out of 15, which to me is very bad). A few months later, I tested myself again and had only 4 toxins show up in my foot pads. Then I felt a bit better.

I had a customer whose granddaughter had just gotten home from the doctors office -- diagnosed with lead poisoning! She gave me the specific ppm that the tests revealed. She decided to use my foot pads on her 3-year old granddaughter. After a month, they went back to the doctor for a follow up test. Her lead levels were well within what the doctors say is a safe level. Amazing!

So, there are a few ways to test... to prove that my detox foot pads really do work.

2. Putting them under water will make them dark, just like a tea bag.
I mentioned before that I put a clean detox foot pad under water and had it tested. The foot pads WILL turn dark if you put water or other liquid on them. The reason is because they are filled with herbs. A tea bag turns dark as well, when you seep it in hot water. However, it doesn't get "gooey" like the foot pads are when I take them off my feet in the morning. They aren't sticky in the same way. I challenge anyone who thinks this is a hoax, to request a sample from me, and put water on one, and then use the other on their feet, and compare. There is a difference.

3. They can be used for more than just a detox
.
The foot pads are great for detoxing. They work the best on your feet because it is convenient, you have your acupoints on your feet, and it is all linked to your lymphatic system. But beyond the detox, they are great at helping with swelling and inflammation. If you have a sprain, or gout, or arthritis on your hands or feet, put them directly on those areas. As long as the skin is not broken, or you don't have any open wounds, this will work. Sometimes the foot pads will not turn dark, but may become hardened, as if a clear liquid was pulled out... this is uric acid. If you suffer from gout, then you will love these foot pads!

4. A company shouldn't hide their ingredients.
Look for a company that will tell you the ingredients, and the percentage of each ingredient. Make sure it adds up to 100% so they aren't hiding anything from you. You don't want any dextrin or vegetable fiber in your foot pads. As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, you won't be hurting yourself with those ingredients -- except maybe your pocketbook. These are considered fillers, and won't make for a good detox. I have heard people claim that they help "asborb" the toxins, but that is what the chitosan is for. Chitosan is an important ingredient because it can absorb up to 400x its weight in impurities. They use it for oil spills, and it really binds those toxins together. A few people are allergic to shellfish, but only if you are so severely allergic that you can't touch a shellfish, should you avoid these. (And, if you have any concerns, I can send you a free sample to test before you place your order).

5. Sweating.
Some people say that the goo is your feet sweating. Really? If your feet sweat that much, you need to go see a doctor, seriously. And, if my detox foot pads just reacted to my feet sweating (which they rarely sweat, only in very dire circumstances, like when I am in a sauna), why do they eventually come clean in the morning? If it was my sweat that was making the foot pads so dark and gooey every night, then why, after months of use, do they stop becoming gooey? To answer that, it is because I am DETOXING MY BODY, not because I all of the sudden stopped that weird feet sweat. Granted, I do know people who get clammy feet, and somewhat sweaty feet (and they need to use those odor eaters in their shoes). That is somewhat normal, but will NOT cause the reaction you are getting from the detox foot pads. This is actually one of the most common reasons why people think the detox foot pads are a hoax. I think it is kinda funny. Come on. Think for yourself. There is no way that can truly be the reason!! Logic, people!!

6. Customer service is very important.
Do you get a timely response to your emails? If not, then the foot pad company you are going through is not customer-oriented. Granted, I wish I could take phone calls, but since I am a one-person show, and work in the day, I can't answer calls. But I am always willing to call people back, and current customers do have my phone number if they want it. I respond within a couple hours via email. Sometimes I respond within 5 minutes, or even at 2am. I have about 3,000 customers, and quite a few of them are repeat customers that order every month from me. I get to know them pretty well. These customers have my phone number and can easily place an order over the phone with me just by calling me when they want to. I love answering questions, whether by email or by a phone call. So please, shoot me your questions about the detox foot pads!

7. Anecdotal evidence doesn't lie.
Let's say you have had migraines for over 15 years, and they were only getting more frequent. And your doctor keeps giving you drugs to help prevent them, or to control them once you get a migraine attack. And nothing works. And then, you start using the detox foot pads, and after about a month of using them on your toes (correlates to your head reflexology point), you realize you haven't had a migraine that week, and then as the weeks go on, you realize that it has been a long time since you had a migraine. Up until you maybe get one migraine a year vs. 5-6 migraines per month. That was my personal story, and the MAIN reason why I fell in love with the detox foot pads and created my own business selling them. I KNEW they work. They made such a huge difference in my life. Migraines are absolutely horrible. The pain that I get in my head is not even the worst part of it for me. The nausea, sensitivity to sound, light and smells, the jittery feeling I get. Those are more horrible to me than the painful pounding in my head. The aura, preceding the visual "disturbances" that I used to get, are so horrible. I am so grateful for my detox foot pads. I have since realized that certain things cause triggers for me -- MSG, aspartame, and other chemicals. If I do eat those things, and get sick, I just wear foot pads that night to make me feel better by morning, and it works.

Another incident of anecdotal evidence consists of a friend of mine who suffers from gout. He has suffered from gout for over 20 years. And maybe about 2-3 times a year he will have a bout. After giving him some detox foot pads to try one morning, he told me that by early afternoon he was able to walk without pain, and the foot pad was soaking with goo. I know that this had to have been the result of the foot pads, not because he miraculously stopped a 5-8 day bout of gout on the first morning, just out of the blue.

These types of experiences are very common. And using logic, and the brain God gave us, we can note that these results were because of the detox foot pads.

8. Pricing.
I have a very high quality detox foot pad, and purchase them from a factory overseas that gets audited, and is FDA registered. (FDA registration really doesn't mean anything, but I will touch upon that point later). Since I work out of my home, I do not jack up my prices very much. My margins are very low. I don't mind, because I make up for it in quantity, for all the orders that I ship out. Ultimately, a good detox foot pad should not cost you more than about $1.00 to $1.50 per foot pad. If the company sells a good detox foot pad (high quality like mine), but it is about $4.00 per foot pad (or $40 per pack), then you know they are either gouging you, or are not good business people and have such a high overhead cost that they need to charge that amount. My low quantities are a bit over $1.00 each (My 10-pack costs $20) but that is because I don't want to compete with my resellers. They are the ones what sell the 10-pack more than I do. It is one of the least purchased quantities from my website.

If you see a brand of foot pads that has dextrin, cornstarch, vegetable fiber, etc. in them (remember the fillers I wrote about above), then you should not pay more than $0.50 per foot pad for those. MAX. They are not going to be BAD for you, but they really are a cheap version of them and are not potent at all. You will need at least double the amount of foot pads to get the same detox, so 50 cents per pad seems right.

Also, I offer free shipping to all U.S. addresses. One of my pet peeves is finding a product that I want to buy, for a fantastic price, and then realize the shipping/handling charges are outrageous, ultimately making it a bad deal. So, I found a way to offer free shipping, and that way you know what your final cost is before you even put your product in the shopping cart.

9. FDA registration.
Purify Your Body is registered with the FDA. What that basically means is that I filled out a lot of paperwork, and submitted it to the FDA for approval, and then received an FDA registration number. This helps me when getting my shipments in from overseas, and having to go through customs. It doesn't mean the FDA approves of my product, or has reviewed it. It just means I am a legitimate company, and have registered myself with their agency. It is not "FDA Approved" -- if it were, it would cost millions of dollars in testing, studies, etc. There are no detox foot pad companies out there that are FDA approved.

10. Testimonials.
I have a ton of testimonials. Why aren't they on my website? Why don't I post them everywhere? Well, that is a good question. First, I am not allowed by law, to say that my product can cure any illness or disease. (My customers have to figure that out by themselves, which is why I am glad I have smart customers). I can not advertise this, either. As a result, it could be a fine line between having a testimonial on the website, and having the FDA say that I am making an unsubstantiated claim. And, they can pull my website if they so feel like it. I don't want that. So, I am playing their game and just being as basic as I can.

I also keep telling myself that I am going to create a testimonial sheet, from all the stories my customers have sent in to me, but I fear that my laziness has gotten the best of me, and I haven't done it yet. I still plan on doing it, but will I get it done this year? Probably not. I feel like I am a procrastinator in some things, this being one of them.

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 09:22:36 -0700 Ardyss Body Magic Garment / Corsette review http://rhauptman.posterous.com/ardyss-body-magic-garment-corsette-review http://rhauptman.posterous.com/ardyss-body-magic-garment-corsette-review I had the opportunity to try on an Ardyss Body Magic Garment. My first reaction was that it was nice. I wore it for about 20 minutes, seeing if I could move around in it, sit down, stretch, etc. I could. But after I left, my rib cage felt funny. So at the price of $170, I decided not to buy one, and to buy just the tank top instead.

Then I searched around on eBay and the same garment, brand new, was being offered at $77. That is a much better price, and I decided to try it, after reading a lot of information about how it isn't like a girdle from the dark ages, that is really compresses the fat tissue and (I know I will explain this wrong) helps squeeze the fat out of your body through detox measures. I understand the detox part.

I am 5'8" and not overweight. But of course I want to be on the low end of my "BMI range", which I am not. I am on the very high end of it! So gaining 5-10 lbs would make me tip the scale into a BMI of over 24.9, which I want to avoid.

In fact, I would like to lose another 10-15 lbs. Or at least fit into my summer clothes.

So, I decided to get it, and it finally arrived. I had to purchase the extenders for the straps because I am "tall". I purchased a size 34 of the bodyMagic. The thoracic measurement (right below your breasts) is how you masure the size. In the reviews I have read that it takes about 15 minutes to get into the garment at first, usually taking a second person to help you. Well, it took me 5 minutes all by myself. I think that because I do not have gobs of fat, and only mild to moderate love handles, that this is why it wasn't very hard to get into.

However... I do have to say that it is a bit difficult to use the restroom while you are wearing this. They have snaps in the crotch area for this purpose, but me, without a belly sticking out, could barely reach under and open and close them for my call of nature. It is easier to just take off your shirt, and unsnap from the front. Trust me on this one.

I am impressed how clean the lines look under the clothing -- no more rolls of fat lines underneath my shirts and no muffin top. However, it does give you a larger, firmer, lifted derriere. Not that it is any problem, for sure. But it also gives you the "hour glass figure" from the frontal view. From the side view, I think I am larger than when I originally put it on. At least it isn't making me look skinny. I am normally skinny from the side view, but straight up and down like a popsicle from the front view (meaning I don't have a skinny waist compared to my hips and chest, even when I am at a BMI of 19! At least I have boobs though!).

I have read some tips... first, be sure to get the right size. Second, wear it as often as you can. I just recently started wearing mine during the day at work. Before I only wore it in the evening for about 2-5 hours. Now I am wearing it about 10 hours a day. The only part that feels tight is right around my rib cage, under my breasts. It is is loose when I feel it, but I suppose the expanding and contracting of the lungs to breathe make it feel that way. Not uncomfortable at all, and even sort of forces me to have good posture.

Since I am going to physical therapy for my thoracic area along my spine, along with rotator cuff tendinitis, shoulder bursitis, impingement, dyskinesis and neural tension (wow! a mouthful!), I did ask the physical therapist what he thought of this, before I bought it. He said it would help stabilize my thoracic area, so that was what was the deciding factor for me.

I honestly don't see how people could spend $170 on this garment, but I was willing to spend $77.

I think it works. At least to some degree, with weight loss. But there is one thing that I have realized that I want to tell you about. When I first started wearing it for longer periods of times, the lymph nodes in my underarms started getting swollen and tender. I knew the garment was supposed to help your body detox. But I didn't figure that it would detox that quickly. The swollen lymph glands was my body's way of telling me that boy, it was detoxing!! So I made the decision to put on my detox foot pads that night, and by morning the swelling was gone. I wore them an additional two nights, and will probably wear them a few days a week, to help my body detox the fatty tissue out.

I probably have lost about 5 lbs in the last 15 or so days of wearing this thing. I am impressed. But not at the price of $170. I have also read a lot about how poor the customer service is at the company. I tried chatting with their online customer service, and they basically hung up on me.

Another issue I have with the company is that it is an MLM company, and I can't stand those. Everyone tries to get you to start selling it... for a mere $300, you can get $300 worth of products and then start selling it on your own. I don't know much about their payment program, but I stay as far away from those as I can. Which is sad, since many MLM companies actually do have products that work. Except when you just get any old person to sign up to be a distributor, without the proper training, that is when you start to get in trouble with people making false claims about your company, then when it doesn't live up to those claims, your business suffers.

I enjoy just creating my own business myself, like Purify Your Body where I sell my foot pads, along with some other products I have been using for years, like OxyLift, OxyFlush, NutraSilver and MMS. I ship my own orders, take care of my own customer service, and have a customer base of over 4,000 customers now. Those are the companies that I like. I am not going out of business, and I will continue to offer very high quality products at the lowest prices that I can. Since I have a day job that pays my bills, I don't need to gouge my customers with high prices. Trust and honesty is important to me, and in return I get loyalty from my customers.

So... in conclusion, I think that the body magic garment from Ardyss works. (Oh, I forgot to mention that I didn't lose 2-3 sizes instantly... I am a size 10 and that would have put me at a size 4 or 6, and even at my skinniest, I could barely even fit into a size 6, so don't kid yourself on this one). I would strongly suggest looking on eBay (once you know your size) for better prices than a direct distributor.

Good luck!

Dear Rebecca,

Have you heard this news yet?
Newborn babies were found to have over 200 chemicals, pesticides, and other toxins in their blood. That means we’re being poisoned before we even take our first breath.
This is very concerning. I’ve been telling people about this since I first read about it.
You can do something about it. Detox is critical. I’ll show you how below.
If you’re not familiar with what I’m talking about, you really should take a look at this.
To Your Good Health,
Al Sears, MD

___________________________

Dear Rebecca,
Our environment has changed. The last 100 years has wiped out millions of years of pure, clean food and water.
And our bodies haven’t adapted quickly enough. We weren’t designed to live in our current world of man-made chemicals, toxins, and pollutants.
You don’t even have a clean slate as a newborn. When tested, newborn babies have an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants already present in their blood.1
Then, as you make your way through life, a flood of new toxins enter your body through the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat every day, and even through your skin.
Getting rid of these toxins will help you live a longer, healthier life.
You can improve:

  • heart health
  • nagging pains
  • digestive troubles
  • mood
  • eye health

Detoxifying your body can help support your immune system, clear your mind, balance your hormones, and much more.
Chances are you have some level of exposure to heavy metals. Arsenic and lead are among the most common forms of heavy metal toxicity. These chemicals are used in the manufacturing processes of things like pesticides, glass, wood preservatives, fertilizers, paint, batteries, plumbing, and ink. Not to mention hobby paints, hair coloring, and cosmetics.
The best way to detoxify your body is with chelation. The word “chelate” comes from the Greek word chele, which means claw. And it describes the process by which a molecule from a nutrient (or chemical) surrounds and binds (or grabs like a claw) to metal toxins such as mercury, lead, and arsenic, and carries them out of your body through your kidneys and out in your urine.
There are some safe, natural methods of chelation that I recommend for removing toxic metals from your body.
You can take chlorella, a form of dried algae. You can find it in most health-food stores. Take one 500 mg capsule per day initially. Some people are sensitive to chlorella. If you start experiencing nausea or burping, it means your body can’t tolerate it, and you should go for another option.
If you don’t have a sensitivity, work up slowly over one to two weeks to a dose of one teaspoon (10 tablets or capsules) per day until your levels come down.
Fresh cilantro has also been shown to remove mercury from the body. About a teaspoon a day should work.
Garlic is also a good option. Three cloves of fresh garlic per day should help.

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 09:39:44 -0700 Why I LOVE detox foot pads (foot detoxifying pads) as the best way to detox your body http://rhauptman.posterous.com/why-i-love-detox-foot-pads-foot-detoxifying-p http://rhauptman.posterous.com/why-i-love-detox-foot-pads-foot-detoxifying-p
Test_results

I really am excited about my detox foot pads. Yeah, I know, I have been selling them for over 5 years now. But yet I am still very excited about this method of detox. I will tell you why. But first -- I always remind people that detox foot pads CAN be a scam if you do not make sure your foot patches are 100% pure ingredients and free of fillers. Fillers (dextrin, Vegetable fiber) are basically cornstarch. They have no beneficial reason to be in the foot pad, other than because it is dirt cheap and they can make more money off you. (in the long run they lose customers -- because you won't be a repeat customer). More than 75% of my customers are repeat customers. The percentage is increasing, too!

So here are the reasons why my foot detox pads are great:

1. This is an extremely easy way to detoxify your body. It is not harsh on your body at all. You can't detox your body too quickly with this method. With other methods you can get sick quickly, if you detox too fast (it is called the detox reaction, and the #1 reason why people do not finish detoxing.)
2. The detox foot pads get out many heavy metals, plastics, chemicals and other toxins.
3. The BEST reason why my detox foot pads just totally rock, are because they are a unique way of detoxing. Many other detox products require you to commit to it for a month at a time, or 3 months, or 6 weeks... and if you stop, the benefits are gone... you have to complete their whole plan or you lose any benefits that you have gained. With my detox foot pads, you get to set your own schedule. If you want a quicker detox, you can use 3 per foot per night. This may only take a month or so to get your body fully detoxed. If you decide to use the foot pads only on the weekends (like me), then it may take you a full year of wearing only one on each foot. These two examples both use about 200 foot pads, but are very different in the process. Even if you faithfully use the detox pads for a full month, then stop using them for 6 months, the benefits you got from the first month are still there. Those toxins didn't come back into your body! Even one night is beneficial.

I have included a chart to show you the toxins that showed up in my foot pads about 3 years ago. The N represents negative (that specific toxin was not in the foot pads) and the P represents positive.

News Flash! The HFCS Monopoly is Finally Cracking…

Posted by Dr. Mercola | April 17 2010 | 10,839 views

high fructose corn syrup, HFCS, sugar, fructose, pepsi, kraft"The back-to-back, double whammy announcements that PepsiCo is ditching high fructose corn syrup in Gatorade along with the results of a scathing new study from researchers at Princeton make it official -- allies of the controversial sweetener have lost the war," BNET writes.
For years, the Corn Refiners Association has been arguing that HFCS is a perfectly natural product that is equal to other forms of sugar.
Of course, the Corn Refiners Association is not going to go down easily. Currently, they appear to be pretending the problem simply doesn’t exist.
On their Web site, “SweetSurprise.com”, they are still trumpeting an episode of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric that ran a report basically parroting the industry line -- “high fructose corn syrup is just sugar with an image problem.”
However, a Princeton research team has again demonstrated that all sweeteners are NOT equal when it comes to weight gain -- rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.
In addition to causing significant weight gain in lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides.
Making matters even worse, two other recent studies have also linked HFCS to liver disease. (A third found no connection.)
Intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages may increase levels of uric acid, a compound linked to decreased kidney function, and a cross-sectional analysis of data from almost 16,000 people found that the risk of chronic kidney disease increased by over 150 percent in those who more than one soda per day and had high levels of uric acid.
Researchers at the Duke University Medical Center stated: "We found that increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup was associated with scarring in the liver, or fibrosis, among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)."
The researchers found only 19 percent of adults with NAFLD reported no intake of fructose-containing beverages, while 52 percent consumed between one and six servings a week and 29 percent consumed fructose-containing beverages on a daily basis.
An increase in consumption of fructose appeared to be correlated to increased liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. The researchers stated:
"We have identified an environmental risk factor that may contribute to the metabolic syndrome of insulin resistance and the complications of the metabolic syndrome, including liver injury."

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 04:29:25 -0700 new batch of detox foot pads has arrived! http://rhauptman.posterous.com/new-batch-of-detox-foot-pads-has-arrived http://rhauptman.posterous.com/new-batch-of-detox-foot-pads-has-arrived I got my latest shipment of detox foot pads from my supplier overseas. While there is a big "taboo" about buying from overseas vs. made in the USA, unfortunately there are no factories that can make the detox foot pads here in the US. But... I make sure the factory is audited, and registered with the FDA. My company is also registered with the FDA. I do have to pay a tad more for that, but it is worth it to me for peace of mind. And, I think it gives my customers peace of mind to know they have a high quality detox foot pad that they are using.

I have to say I have not been wearing the detox foot pads lately -- for at least the past 6 months, I would wear them maybe occasionally on the weekends (once a month?). So I tried this new batch, I do like to make sure it works well... I can attest that it does work well. I do not like to wear them at night on the weeknights because I workout and shower at night before bed, and then get up so early in the morning that I do not have time to wash my feet in the tub... I need to start wearing them AT LEAST every weekend, and on those nights I workout in the sauna, because it pulls toxins out within 3 hours my foot pads are soaking with toxins (and sweat -- but that is another story)

I have found that the adhesives for these detox foot pads, you really don't want to walk around on them too much if you can avoid it, or they are harder to take off. Well, the detox foot pads are easy to take off still, but the adhesive residue is easier left on the feet.

I also got an upgrade to my new silver foil pouches. They look like chrome -- I love them. I choose not to use boxes because they are a waste of space, a waste of trees, and are not environmentally friendly. That is why I just use the pouches. (The boxes would not cost me any more -- it is not a matter of cost as much as it is a desire to help the environment and not cause unnecessary trash and garbage in our landfills.

Have a great day everyone!
Rebecca

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 04:29:37 -0700 Food and drink containers are made with known carcinogens http://rhauptman.posterous.com/food-and-drink-containers-are-made-with-known http://rhauptman.posterous.com/food-and-drink-containers-are-made-with-known

I just want to say that my detox foot pads CAN help pull these toxins out of your system!! Why do we allow our bodies to go through so much havoc? We need to take care of ourselves, and sometimes that means we NEED to supplement, or detox... Unless we live a perfectly healthy lifestyle in a bubble, this won't affect us. But I am telling you, that is next to impossible. Try the detox foot patches. See if they make a difference in your health. They have a money back guarantee! This article is from Cancer Defeated newsletter...               -Rebecca




Food and drink containers are made with known carcinogens

It's nearly everywhere, in a huge number of products… and studies show that it's found in the urine of 95 percent of Americans.
It's called Bisphenol A, or BPA for short. It's widely used in the production of plastic food containers and as a protective liner in metal cans (your soda can, for example).
It became widely used in the 1950s when scientists first discovered its uses in the food and beverage industry. Never mind that twenty years earlier BPA was already understood to be toxic.1
Early warnings of toxicity were ignored or forgotten. BPA is now in the top two percent of high-production chemicals in the U.S., with annual production exceeding one billion pounds (1993 numbers — by now it's surely increased). In a moment I'll suggest easy ways to avoid it. First let me explain WHY to avoid it.

BPA's Far-Reaching Tentacles...

During the past twenty years, scientists have detected BPA in breast milk, serum, saliva, urine, amniotic fluid, and cord blood from at least 2,200 people in Europe, North America, and Asia.2
Center for Disease Control researchers found BPA in 95% of 400 U.S. adults it tested.3
It's so common in products and industrial waste that it pollutes not just people… but also rivers, estuaries, sediment, house dust and even air.
Environmental Working Group tested 97 food cans for BPA — name-brand fruit, veggies, and soda. They found that chicken soup, infant formula, and ravioli had the most frightening BPA levels. Just 1-3 servings at these concentrations could expose a woman or child to BPA at levels that caused serious adverse effects in animal studies.4
Since it's practically everywhere — and IN everyone -- wouldn't you agree it's important to understand what it might do to your health?
Is BPA an innocent chemical or a carcinogenic nightmare waiting for a place to happen? It all depends on whose studies you believe. Here's what I've been able to find. . .

What is BPA, Anyway?

BPA is a precursor chemical for polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. It is not an additive, and there is no reason or purpose for it to be added to plastics.
As a polycarbonate, it's used in 'sports' bottles, dental sealants, cell phones, computers and other electronic equipment, eyeglasses, medical devices, CDs and DVDs, and more. It is also in infant-formula cans and many clear plastic baby bottles.
Epoxy resins are used as protective liners in metal cans ... as well as in printed circuit boards, composites, paints, adhesives, and other protective coatings.
BPA was developed in 1891 as a synthetic estrogen. That should set off your alarm bells right away, if you know much about carcinongens (substances that cause cancer).

BPA's Potential Link to Cancer

Numerous studies suggest BPA is linked to cancer, either directly or indirectly. Here's a quick sampling of published research. The CEHRER (Center for Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction) had 465 studies on record from 1993 and 2006, so I had lots to choose from...
  • BPA caused persistent changes to breast tissue. Breast cells became predisposed to cancer, hormonal changes.5 6
  • Prostate cells became more sensitive to hormones and cancer7 8
  • Exposure led to an error in cell division, causing cancer, among other issues.9
  • Low doses spurred formation and growth of fat cells, linked to obesity, which is a risk factor for cancer.10
In 1993 BPA's signature toxic property — its ability to mimic estrogen — was accidentally discovered in a failed lab experiment.11
The broad toxicity of BPA is thought to stem from the fact that it can alter the behavior of over 200 genes12 — which control the growth and repair of most every organ and tissue in your body.
As a whole, the toxic effects linked to BPA are strikingly similar to health problems found across the entire population — breast and prostate cancer, diabetes (see Issue #13 about diabetes' possible connection with cancer; you can check it out at cancerdefeatednewsletter.com), obesity, infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

What Do the Leading Experts Believe about BPA?

In August 2007, 38 of the world's leading scientific experts on BPA published a consensus statement about its potential threat to our health.
In preparation, these experts spent six months studying more than 700 published studies on BPA. Then they spent days discussing and sorting the literature into three levels of scientific confidence:
  1. We are absolutely certain of…
  2. We believe the following to be likely, but require confirmation…
  3. Areas of uncertainty needing further research…
Among the findings they were absolutely certain about…
  • Average levels of BPA in people are above those that cause harm to lab animals in experiments. Levels causing adverse effects in animals are lower than what is already in people.
  • Humans may metabolize BPA faster than animals — meaning that daily human exposure is in effect even higher.
  • BPA causes organizational changes in the prostate, breast, testes, and mammary glands. In addition it affects the body size, brain structure and chemistry, and behavior of lab animals.
So, seems pretty clear it's dangerous... where's the controversy?

The FDA Strikes Again

It all depends on who you listen to...
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) — the scientific research arm of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) — reported in September 2008 'some concern' that BPA harms your brain and reproductive system.
Despite the fact that FDA is supposed to listen to the advice of the NTP, they came out with their own ruling before the NTP report...
Declaring that "at current levels of exposure" BPA is safe. The FDA's own science board questioned the finding, but the FDA still refused to change its position.
Absurd enough yet?
Fast Company (Feb. 1, 2009) decided to investigate this strange approach to "science".
They stated the BPA controversy may be more about a battle to protect a multi-billion-dollar industry from regulation than a scientific dispute.
BPA is worth over $6 billion per year to the five companies that produce it. These companies each referred Fast Company's questions about BPA safety to their trade association, American Chemistry Council (ACC).
ACC's response?
"No, there isn't anything to be concerned about. In a sense you could have 'some concern' about just about anything," says Steve Hentges, their spokesman on BPA.
So, let's get this straight...
Of the 100 independently funded experiments (per Fast Company's numbers), 90% found evidence of adverse health effects.
On the other hand, every single industry-funded study ever conducted — a total of 14 — found no ill effects.
Sounds strangely suspicious, wouldn't you agree?
Regulators paid attention only to industry-funded studies… largely thanks to a group of 'product defense consultants' — funded by the chemical industry — who sowed doubt about any BPA negative effects.
These 'product defense consultants' borrowed the playbook from the storm over tobacco and asbestos.
When it was time to make a decision, the FDA chose to ignore a wide array of studies from peer-reviewed journals, placing heavy emphasis on unpublished industry-funded studies instead.
It looks like industry insiders were 'in bed' with the FDA to stall regulation.
Not all commercial interests are falling for the FDA's and plastic industry's opinion, though.
  • Nalgene Outdoor Products announced that it would quit production of its polycarbonate containers that include BPA and bring out a BPA-free line.
  • Wal-Mart announced it would stop selling baby bottles with BPA, effective in 2009.
  • Canada moved to outlaw BPA from baby bottles.
Whichever way you weigh in on this still-raging controversy, for the sake of your health, I urge you to err on the side of caution and rid your life of BPA as much as possible.
Ditto for your children, especially during pregnancy and early childhood — a particularly high-risk time for BPA exposure.

How to Cut Your Risk of BPA Exposure

Since BPA won't likely be regulated any time soon, it's time to take matters into your own hands to protect yourself and your loved ones. Here are some easy ideas:
  • Use glass, ceramic containers, or stainless steel for storing food — no plastics.
  • Never heat plastics in the microwave, put them in the dishwasher, or pour hot food or liquid into them. Use glass, ceramics, or stainless steel for hot items.
  • Don't use #3 or #7 plastics for food or beverage. #1, #2, and #5 are considered safe. You'll find these numbers inside a triangle on the bottom of the plastic.
  • Avoid canned food as much as possible. Cook with fresh ingredients.
  • Use only glass baby bottles (and sports bottles), stainless steel, or one of the new plastics that are BPA-free.

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:04:47 -0700 Life is Exciting - what is new with me today!!! http://rhauptman.posterous.com/life-is-exciting-what-is-new-with-me-today http://rhauptman.posterous.com/life-is-exciting-what-is-new-with-me-today We are on to something new here... my sisters and I. You all will know about it in the next month or so, we are very excited.

My detox foot pads business is going well, too. My next shipment of 50,000 foot pads will come in maybe next week, and then another shipment next month.

The most amount of footpads I have shipped out in a single month is 30,000 foot detox pads. Because of the economy, I am down to between 5,000 and 15,000, depending on the month. It fluctuates quite a lot. My other products, OxyFlush, OxyLift and OxyEarth, have increased a TON, I guess many people are getting more interested in their health. NutraSilver also has been selling well. Too bad most people who purchase it have to suffer from the dreaded Morgellon's disease. Wish there was a permanent cure for it.

If you really want to do something good for your health... stop eating the following products: High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, and Aspartame. If you permanently got those out of your diet, you will be amazed at the difference in your health. Unfortunately, MSG is hidden in almost everything: Gelatin, Calcium Caseinate, Sodium Caseinate, Glutamate, Glutamic Acid, Maltodextrin, Vegetable protein extract, autolyzed plant protein, hydrolyzed plant protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured protein (like TVP or fake meat), yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, and so many more!!

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 04:13:42 -0700 Life is Great!! Life is Beautiful! Life is filled with Blessings! http://rhauptman.posterous.com/life-is-great-life-is-beautiful-life-is-fille http://rhauptman.posterous.com/life-is-great-life-is-beautiful-life-is-fille So while I think about my life, I can't begin to express how many blessings I receive on a daily basis. I sometimes like to think that my whole life has been blessed because my mom is an Angel, looking down from Heaven, making sure good things happen to me. I used to think that as a child, and sometimes still do, as an adult. My mom's only sister, my aunt Linda, lives in Australia. Just yesterday she sent me an email with some scanned pictures attached. They were of my grandparents, my mom, and another great great grandmother. I really enjoy things like this. Besides, the pictures are SO beautiful.

And Purify Your Body's detox foot pads are doing well. It seems that people are getting more interested in their health. They are taking charge of their health more and more. Maybe it is because of the healthcare reform we are facing. I don't know the reason, but I am reaping the benefits. Folks are looking for relief from fibromyalgia, cures for migraines, pain relief from gout, insomnia, fatigue, Lyme disease, and so many other forms of illnesses. The first thing that people need to do is look for what is going on in their life. What toxins are they putting in their bodies? With fibromyalgia, there has been links to environmental toxins. Well, if you can't control your environment (say you work in a hair salon and are exposed to chemicals all day long -- for perms, colorings, etc), then the second best thing to do would be to use detox foot pads to get rid of the toxins. In that situation you won't ever get ahead... the foot pads probably won't ever come out clean, because you just keep putting the toxins in your body... but at least your symptoms will start to go away and you will get relief. Unfortunately for those folks they probably will want to be using the foot pads indefinitely, instead of maybe just for 2-3 months every year.

There are quite a few customers of mine that use the foot pads year round. That is great, sure. By all means. Many of these people are older and find that by using the detox pads they have a better quality of life. Who wouldn't want a better quality of life!? This is great.

Keep on detoxing. I will keep on providing the highest quality detox foot pads for the lowest price.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:06:47 -0800 HCG Diet - getting my body back to a healthy weight http://rhauptman.posterous.com/hcg-diet-getting-my-body-back-to-a-healthy-we http://rhauptman.posterous.com/hcg-diet-getting-my-body-back-to-a-healthy-we Homeopathic HCG Diet.

I started the HcG diet this week. In 2 days I have lost 3 pounds of fat so far. It is very difficult for me to eat a very low calorie diet, but the food I AM eating tastes delicious, so I am not depriving myself of anything tasty... I ate grilled chicken last night with some delicious peas. I used savory sea salt from Mother Earth Minerals to season almost everything. Today for lunch I had leftovers from yesterday. I also am eating grilled chicken salads with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing that has 30 calories. I am eating fresh fruit as snacks, and if I get too hungry between meals, I eat a few spoonfuls of fat free cottage cheese.

I am drinking a LOT of Jasmine Green Tea from Bigelow. I am also sweetening some koolaid with Stevia so it is no calories but yet I don't have to have the sugar. I LOVE stevia. My favorite flavors of koolaid are strawberry and fruit punch. I am not a big koolaid drinker, and miss my raw milk. 18 more days to go and my goal weight loss is 25 pounds. I think I can do it.

I am still taking my minerals and vitamins, and my Silica Gel and resveratrol.

My BMI was 25.8, which is just a tad above "healthy" weight for me. But because of my hypothyroidism, I could not lose weight. Now that my thyroid is acting better, I have to lose the weight. The sooner the better. I am used to fluctuating between 135-145 my whole adult life, so this was frustrating for me! I am tall, 5'8" and can carry my weight well, but who wants to "carry weight well". I want to feel good and look good, too. And, I don't want my clothes to fit me tight anymore. I HATE clothes shopping as much as I hate grocery shopping. I have plenty of nice clothes, I just need to finish this diet so I can wear them again! I am normally a size 6/8 and hate being a 10/12 so that will be something to look forward to!

So, I will try to give updates every few days. I am hoping for at least a pound of weight loss per day. That is do-able, as it burns FAT not MUSCLE, and I am using the sauna, and will try to use it more frequently during this diet. I can burn up to 900 calories in 1 sauna sitting, and that is more than the number of calories I am eating per day. I am very active and am doing my strengthening exercises, and using my "jiggly machine" (vibration exerciser). So... we will see.

I am not starving. I am hungry, but as my body adjusts to less calories, with the same activity level, I think I will do fine. My biggest craving right now is Strawberry Starbursts. I don't know why. It is easy for me to go to bed at night on an empty stomach than it is for me to skip breakfast. So that is hard, since we aren't supposed to eat breakfast, and then only eat a piece of fruit mid morning.

Other things I am craving: Ramen Noodles without the seasoning (I use non-msg beef or chicken broth), mexican food, Leeann Chin's sesame chicken (this is probably going to be my first regular meal again, in 19 days!)

And, I am using my detox foot pads. I want to make sure I am not putting more toxins into my thyroid to make it stagnant again! I am also doing minor other things, like not drinking out of plastic water bottles anymore, not storing my foods in plastic containers (I switched to glass pyrex containers and I think I really like them), and being consistent with my supplements.

One month from now I will be feeling amazing. Just you watch and see!!

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 08:26:34 -0800 When I got my mercury fillings taken out of my mouth http://rhauptman.posterous.com/when-i-got-my-mercury-fillings-taken-out-of-m http://rhauptman.posterous.com/when-i-got-my-mercury-fillings-taken-out-of-m I had about 8 fillings in my mouth, starting from childhood. So I wanted to get the metal out of my mouth, and about 5 years ago, I did. It was an arduous process, but I constantly was getting headaches, had a metallic taste in my mouth all the time, and was over fatigued. So I went about researching how to best do this. I found a holistic dentist in Hopkins, MN thanks to the DAMS organization (Dental Amalgam Mercury Solutions) And, to my own luck, they were located here in the twin cities.

I did a few things to prepare for the mercury removal from my mouth:

1. Megadosed on vitamin C and Chlorella 3 days prior and the morning of
2. Wore my detox foot pads during and after the mercury removal
3. I did one quadrant of my mouth at a time
4. They used a rubber dam in my mouth. Regular dentists will NOT use this just to replace a filling. They normally only use this for root canals. But it helps prevent the mercury dust particles to go into the inner linings of your gums and cheeks, and soak right into your blood stream. (many research articles tout the benefits of taking certain vitamins and minerals sublingually, because it absorbs so much quicker, in your mouth... well, same goes for mercury dust the dentists are drilling out of your teeth!)

The change I felt was not immediate, although the metal taste in my mouth disappeared right away. It took about a week for me to notice a big difference.

I did have a few things that went wrong, during the process. It is true that composite fillings are more sensitive, and if you have sensitive teeth already, then you run the risk of having even more sensitive teeth after the metal fillings are replaced. Another thing that can go wrong, and did for me, is that one of my fillings ran very deep. It was very close to the root/nerves. As a result, the nerve died and I ended up with a root canal. This is something that I never wanted to happen, and I knew the risk. But I also did not want the mercury in my mouth anymore.

If I had it to do over again, there is a small chance that I would have chosen to leave that one particularly tooth alone, and do the other 7 ones.

Another added bonus is that when I open my mouth in a huge wide "O" -- all you see are white, pretty teeth there!! You don't see any silver, etc. I love the look of a clean, white mouth.

Heavy metal toxicity is rampant in our society. It is destroying our health. My detox foot patches, from Purify Your Body, detox the heavy metals out of your body -- including mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, etc. For your health, you definitely want to use them!!!

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:16:35 -0800 Detox your body -- get rid of all the chemicals and plastic by products! http://rhauptman.posterous.com/detox-your-body-get-rid-of-all-the-chemicals http://rhauptman.posterous.com/detox-your-body-get-rid-of-all-the-chemicals I am wondering how much plastic seeps into your bottled water if you re-use the bottle over and over. Probably a lot. And some plastics mimic estrogen, wreaking havoc inside your body. Maybe those stainless steel water bottles have some use after all.  I wish they were easier to drink out of though, I love the sport top plastic bottles.

At least my detox foot pads pull out the plastic by products like the ones leeched into your body via water, food, etc.

I can't imagine how bad BPA is for you, and how prevalent it is in every day things that we use in our daily lives. For instance, canned foods are lined on the inside with BPA. And you can imagine how much gets leeched into the food.

And, how many of us use a teflon frying pan that has scrapes on it? The teflon is scratched? That is almost the worst possible thing for you, and you should get rid of that pan right away, and detox your body as soon as possible!

Speaking of pots and pans, how many use aluminum pans to cook with? It just isn't worth saving a buck and purchasing the cheap aluminum pots and pans, when you are exposing yourself and your family to aluminum, the number one cause of alzheimer's disease! That is a very scary disease, and no one should have to suffer from it. So please, take care of yourself and detox your body of heavy metals now!

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 06:46:15 -0800 What makes Purify Your Body's detox foot pads better than all the rest? http://rhauptman.posterous.com/what-makes-purify-your-bodys-detox-foot-pads http://rhauptman.posterous.com/what-makes-purify-your-bodys-detox-foot-pads

Purify Your Body’s Detox Foot Pads are packed with powerful ingredients that WORK!

Purify Your Body’s Detox pads produce more negative ions and infrared light than ANY other pad and are the only pads with NO starch fillers. All ingredients are designed to work together to draw out and absorb harmful toxins.

Remember that as adults we have between 400 to 800 man made chemicals in our bodies.

Detoxifying is an acceptable and necessary part of living a healthy life in today’s world. Purify Your Body’s Detox foot pads are one of the most effective and easiest forms of natural detoxification. What poisons are you carrying around in your body? More importantly, how do you get rid of them? While eastern medicine has known and embraced the virtues of natural detoxing for many years, western nations are only just catching on. Yet it’s a natural, obvious, and effective health treatment which can cure fluid retention, food intolerances, gas or diarrhea, colds and infections, exhaustion, skin rashes, headaches or dizziness, insomnia, and a host of other problems. As adults, we have around 400 to 800 man-made chemicals circulating in our bodies. Normal healthy body elimination processes do not remove all these chemicals. Food, drinks, polluted air, medications, stress, metabolism, disease, products applied to skin, synthetics, home and workplace chemicals contribute to the body's toxin load which accumulates daily and builds up over the years.

Introducing the amazing Purify Your Body Detox Pad. The pad warms and opens the pores of the skin to draw out and absorb accumulated wastes via the skin under osmotic pressure from the blood and lymph systems. The all-natural dry ingredients in the Foot Detox pad adhere to the soles of the feet like a big band aid overnight, when the body detoxifies. Depending on the individual, the detox may take two or three weeks or two or three months, or even longer in the case of more severe disease or toxic build up.

Potent all-natural ingredients. The Detox patch ingredients include the Agaricus mushroom from the jungles of Brazil. The Agaricus mushroom contains ample amounts of Beta Glucans, the major ingredient in natural cancer controlling substances, a steroid that can regulate the increase of cancerous cells.

Dry powder in the patch also contains chitosan, bamboo sap, eucalyptus sap from mature trees over 100meters high, ionic (absorbable) tourmaline minerals that contain negative ions and saururus chenesis - the first plant to grow at the atomic bomb site in Hiroshima, and other potent plant ingredients. These ingredients work together to draw out the toxic build-up in your feet, and in other parts of the body.

Toxins accumulate in the extremities. For hundreds of years Eastern medical studies have held the view that toxins progress towards the lower extremities in the body during the day. Assisted by gravity they accumulate from the tips of the toes to the ankles. Eastern medicine also understands that toxin accumulation leads to many degenerative diseases. For example, painful rheumatism and arthritis are caused by acidic toxin fluid gathered in the joints. There is another Asian expression that says aging comes from the foot.

Why our Detox Foot Pads are better:

* Negative ions, a positive influence. Purify Your Body’s Detox Foot Pads are made with the mineral tourmaline, which contains negative ions. Negative ions are oxygen atoms with an extra electron and they can help you feel better. Remember that feeling you've experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains? Those are two places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create a positive effect on human biochemistry and Detox pads allow negative ions to work their magic. The special sap used in the Detox foot pads increases the vibration of negative ions which can then be absorbed easily by the skin.

* Far infrared generation, the warmth of healing. Our tissues normally produce infrared energy for warmth and tissue repair. At times the infrared energy in our tissues may require a boost to a higher level to ensure the fullest healing possible for tissue repair. Our Detox Foot Pads have been scientifically proven to produce warmth from Far infrared generation.

* Highest Quality Ingredients. The Detox Foot Patch uses the highest quality wood vinegar after natural purifying. Wood and bamboo vinegar are dried for a period of 8 months in order to remove the water substance. Next, to remove the impurities, a filtration process is applied four times. Lastly, the drying process is applied again for a period of 8 months to obtain a complete pure wood and bamboo vinegar. The finished product of the drying process is outstandingly pure.

Dry powder in the pad contains: Agaricus mushroom, chitosan, bamboo sap, eucalyptus sap from mature trees over 100 meters high, ionic (absorbable) tourmaline minerals that contain negative ions and saururus chenesis - the first plant to grow at the atomic bomb site in Hiroshima, and other potent plant ingredients.

Purify Your Body’s Detox pads are FDA regisetered. Detox pads were tested and certified safe and with non detectable heavy metals by USA FDA in November 2002 giving peace of mind for their safety.

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:25:55 -0800 Raw Milk, Detox Foot Pads and NutraSilver. http://rhauptman.posterous.com/raw-milk-detox-foot-pads-and-nutrasilver http://rhauptman.posterous.com/raw-milk-detox-foot-pads-and-nutrasilver It is good to know I am putting only good stuff in my body... many people consume more calories and empty calories via fluids than they do foods. I'll save my calories for foods!! And the raw milk that I drink is so amazing. Sometimes when I am not super hungry for dinner, I just drink a glass of raw milk -- we get it here in Minnesota from Kalisch Family Farms.

My goal this weekend is to use the detox foot pads 3 times. I need to get back into the rhythm of detoxing.

Another thing that I am doing is creating a brochure for NutraSilver. That has been a huge seller on my website. I just started selling it a couple months ago and now I ship out a ton of bottles every week! It is sad to know how many morgellons sufferers there are out there. I wish I knew a cure so I could pass it on to my customers.

Have a great day!

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:38:42 -0800 The story behind my detox foot pads http://rhauptman.posterous.com/the-story-behind-my-detox-foot-pads http://rhauptman.posterous.com/the-story-behind-my-detox-foot-pads
Reflexology_chart_from_brochur

My name is Rebecca and I started Purify Your Body as a hobby/passion because I was very interested in natural health and wellness. I also had a lot of extra time on my hands, and was able to devote the evenings and weekends to creating my website, providing great customer service, and most importantly of all, providing the highest quality detox foot pad out there on the market today. I offer low prices because I have a great day job that I love, and don’t have to rely on my sales of these foot pads to pay my bills! I have been in business for over five blessed years now, and I know that my success has stemmed as a result of offering the highest quality foot pads along with great customer service!

I am very adamant about offering a detox foot pad that does not contain fillers. I see a lot of foot pads out there that contain over 50% fillers, and refuse to degrade the quality of mine just to save a buck. So know that when you are using these foot pads, they are the best quality.

My tips for you when you first try these are to put 3 foot detox pads on each foot the first night: on your toes, on your arches and on your heels. In the morning, look at the pads and see what area of your foot is leeching out the most “goo” and then on the subsequent nights, focus on the area that you observed is pulling out the most toxins. That is the correlating area of your body that may be containing the most toxins. You are welcome to put 3 pads on each foot per night, or as you see fit. There is no “right” way to use these pads. Other information you might want to know, as it is frequently asked of me:

Q: Is the brownish “goo” in the morning a result of a reaction to my feet sweating?

A: While the footpads turn dark if exposed to water (just like tea bags would) the “goo” you see is actually toxic matter that has been leeched through your lymphatic system and out your feet. If you continue to use the foot pads until you are “detoxed” you will notice that they don’t come out gooey in the morning anymore. This dispels the fallacy that sweat is what is creating the results you see. You also can get them analyzed in an independent lab, and find out what toxins YOU have in your body!

Q: How long does a detox take for a normal person?
A:
This depends on so many factors, including how often you are exposed to toxins (in your drinking water, food, the air you breathe, the chemicals you ingest, even your carpet may emit toxins!) On AVERAGE here in the US, I would have to say that a 2-3 month detox is normal per area of your foot. If you are sick or battling an illness or cancer, it could take more than a year of constant use! But even if you use the pads for only one month, you are doing a great service to your body and should be feeling more energy, better sleep, less illness.

Q: How do I know that the foot pads only take out the BAD stuff? What about medications I am on, etc?
A:
The foot pads work by pulling toxins out of your lymphatic system, and it is in your lymphatic system where your body stores the toxins – which for most of us becomes stagnant. Our bodies are so overwhelmed with toxins in this modern industrial age that it doesn’t know how to rid itself of them, as it was never exposed to them before! They are safe to use with medication and any supplements you may be taking.

Q: How do the foot pads work?
A
: Through the process of osmosis (remember from high school biology?) It is the same process that allows trees to get their nutrients from the ground through their root system, but yet nourish the leaves on their farthest branches. It is this “tree sap” or wood vinegars, that allow this process to work.

CAUTION: if you are allergic to mushrooms or shellfish, please be very cautious when using this product, as it contains those ingredients. While they do not absorb INTO your body (rather the pads pull things FROM your body), I still like to warn anyone who may be severely allergic. Also, if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy, please don’t use them for long periods of time.

If you have any questions about the use of these pads, please email me at sales@purifyyourbody.com and I normally respond within a few hours! Thank you!
