Beware of Detox Foot Pads and Patch Claims

Anyone interested in using a detox foot patch will immediately discover that there are a plethora of brands on the market today. The problem for the consumer is which one to choose.

Many patches claim to be the ORIGINAL and the BEST, but their advertisements and websites may be misleading the consumer.

How can you know which patch is the ORIGINAL.

If you look closely, you will probably find patches that claim to use the original formula, not that they are the original patch. All detox foot pad formulas have some connection to the ORIGINAL formula, but beware of questionable claims. The original formula is patented in the US and Japan.

Another easy way to determine the original detox foot patch is to see Dr. Kawase Itsuko and only Dr. Kawase Itsuko for the patch. Many websites reference multiple doctors and always include Dr. Kawase Itsuko in the mix. That’s because they need Dr. Itsuko’s name to lend credibility.

How do you determine which is the BEST?

A key measure of quality is where and how the detox foot patches are made. Very few are made in JAPAN, most are made in CHINA or KOREA. Be sure to check carefully where the patch is made. Don’t be fooled by phrases like “originally formulated in Japan.” This does not mean that the brand you are looking at is actually made in Japan. For the best quality, look for patches made in Japan, in a sterile environment, and pre-tested to ensure they are toxin-free.

Often a website will boast that their detox foot patches are of the highest quality, but when you start to compare them to other patches, they don’t live up to their claim.

Another element that is often considered by the consumer as a sign of quality in detox foot patches is the negative ion reading. Detox foot pads are often manufactured and charged with negative ions to ensure effective free radical neutralization of toxins; but the amount of negative ions varies greatly from brand to brand. Be sure to compare the negative ion readings.
