Interesting reply to an email I sent.

"Having read your brochure, I wonder if you could clear up a few points for me?
1) “The water in the foot bath (or bath) becomes an extension of the water in the body, from which it is separated by nothing more substantial than a thin membrane - the skin.”
How can this be possible, as one of the skin’s main functions is to waterproof the body?
2) “….. , the unit creates the electrolytic flow (a flow of electrons)…”
Electrolysis does not involve a flow of electrons, it is a movement of ions – entirely different. If one reads p3 of your own brochure (which, by the way, could have been lifted from any GCSE chemistry textbook and bears little relevance for the rest of your claims), this is quite clear.
3) “Research has proved that the human body is electrical.”
Can you provide references for this research? My understanding (and I have a degree in neurobiology) is that the body is electrochemical – again, quite different.
4) “The brain produces and stores electricity.”
This is simply untrue – electricity is a flow of electrons, while the whole of the nervous system works on the movement of ions across membranes.
5) “Results taken on a Bicom 2000 Bio-Resonance Machine”
Please can you provide some indication as to what the figures in these tables refer to – there is no explanation in the text. "
The reply I received from 'Neilbevan' -
"Hi
The brochure you have read was written by Dr Javier Marubens MD and Dr MArty Staggs ND.
The only part which we disagree with is your reference tro the skin being to waterproof the body.
The skin is the biggest organ of the body with millions of pores -sweat glands.
Its through these pores that we excrete our toxins.
The Bio-Detox, Vega and the Best machines measure as to how balanced ones organs are and the optimum on all machines is around 50. Less than this they say means that one is unbalanced.
We agree they must have taken it from a school book.
