HHow Does
The ION Bath Work?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ions generated by the ION Bath therapy, travel through the body attaching themselves to a multitude of toxic substances, thereby neutralizing their positive or negative charge. The array, which is placed into a tub of water along the feet, delivers a low-level direct current. This causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water.

What Are Ions?
~~~~~~~~~~~
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron, which creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis. Osmosis is a scientific term that is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field that is set up by placing the array into the water while running the ION Bath.
It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a buildup of toxins in the body. Long-term benefits of the ION Bath therapy can be maximized with a series of sessions and complementing the sessions with a healthy diet, exercise, and drinking plenty of water.

Ionization Theory
~~~~~~~~~~~
A water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. When the molecule loses a hydrogen atom, the remaining OH molecule takes on a negative charge. As you walk along the beach, your body absorbs millions of these negatively charged ions, which alkalize the blood and tissue. Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products, such as diacetic, lactic, pyruvic, uric, carbonic, acetic, butyric, and hepatic acids.
To maintaining proper health, wellness and vitality, as we age, requires the maintenance of an alkaline environment throughout the body - which is virtually impossible to accomplish in our high-tech, high-stress, toxic society, unless we can walk on the beach every day.
The ION Bath creates precisely the same environment as a walk along the beach, only more powerfully because your feet are in direct contact with the ions being manufactured in the water. Place your feet in the water, turn on the unit and within seconds, millions of ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes.
The particles, fat, and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 20 to 30 minute session.
Your body will feel lighter after the first session. You will think more clearly, have more energy and enjoy a greater sense of well-being.

What Is Bioenergetics?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bioenergetics is important because the amount of energy within a person at the cellular level and their residual balance of energy have a direct correlation with the body's ability to problem solve, perform all types of work and to remove waste. In terms of bio-electricity, the cells of a healthy human organism have a negative potential of between 70 and 90 milli-volts.
Within this range of potential, nutritional absorption and the discharge of toxic waste are efficient. Stressed or injured cells on the other hand, can measure as little as 10-20 millivolts, resulting in both poor nutritional absorption and discharge of toxic waste. Such a condition can occur suddenly, as a result of an accident, or develop more slowly as a result of the progressive build up of positive ions due to the effects of processed foods, stress and the impact of a toxin buildup. The ION Bath uses direct micro-current, generating ions between 300-400 mv providing energy that is sub threshold, and very similar to low voltage electro-stimulation or cold laser, both of which have been proven to increase and create more cellular ATP (stored energy). This increase in cellular ATP allows the cells to work and purge at a higher rate and to withstand external stressors that can be either physical or chemical.
