I decided to try an experiment with foot detox , I had read about the foot detox pads and how they work and purchased some of the dr shols activated charcoal shoe pads that claimed that they would absorb 110 % of there weight in sweat ,I was wondering if they would work the same way as the detox foot pads for a fraction of the cost ,pulling toxins from the feet though the sweat ,and have to say that I did notice that my symtoms did get a little better after wearing them for a couple of days .hmmmmmm, maybe there is something to this whole foot detox thing
