Sea-Onic Footbath System – A Superior Product Line
- Why is the Sea-Onic footbath the leading detoxification system for the body?
(Please refer to our white paper and follow this link for a more detailed explanation of the Best Practices for Detoxification - Sea-Onic Footbath Systems)
After several years in development, Body Balance System now offers users a Sea-Onic footbath. The essential feature of this footbath is that it begins with the addition of the Sea-Onic concentrate to the footbath water. This concentrate transforms that water into optimally hydrating water when the current passes through the array. The system applies a current through the water that will add potency to this optimally hydrating water. This will in turn stimulate the water to penetrate the skin of the feet more readily while permeating the lymph of the body over the half hour that the footbath operates. This systematic process tends to displace toxins out of the cells and into the bath water, while also into the body’s elimination channels for recycling and/or disposal.
- Why is it called a Sea-Onic™ footbath?
(Please refer to our white paper and follow this link for a more detailed explanation: The Power of the Sea The Essential Component for an Optimal Sea-Onic Footbath Detoxification.)
The name Sea-Onic was derived from the power that the sea possesses in our overall health, including the detoxification process. Our understanding of the complex chemistry involved in the Sea-Onic footbath has progressed to the point of confidence that there are tiny water bubbles, containing ions, throughout the footbath. These bubbles are moving in the footbath, similar to the current of the ocean. Then, as our understanding of the life-giving properties of the ocean has progressed, we found that a great deal of value could be added to the footbath by selecting a Sea-Onic concentrate, a conducting solution whose composition would be close to the mineral composition of the ocean. This also happens to be the mineral concentration of the lymph of a healthy individual. Through consideration of these facts, the Sea-Onic acronym was coined.
- Why the new design for the Sea-Onic Footbath?
As a safety precaution, it is important to note that by positioning the cord completely outside the footbath, we make sure that no cord material can enter the footbath that could result in contamination. Also, by setting the array against the side of the footbath, we ensure that it will remain in place for the duration, even when the feet are moved in the water to stimulate the passage of water between the plates and onto the feet.
Further, we note that the array material has been selected expressly to minimize leaching of unwanted array components into the footbath. This design feature provides the best possible opportunity to select a broad spectrum of minerals from the Sea-Onic concentrate solution for use in the charged water bubbles produced by the footbath.
- Why is the Sea-Onic Footbath safer than competitor products?
The water in the bath and the detailed configuration of the array plates ensures that the actual electrical current only flows between the narrowly spaced plates and serves to produce these tiny water bubbles that then safely penetrate the skin of the feet. The Sea-Onic footbath is safe for the body because there is no actual current injected into the body as with other modalities.
Cleaning and System Maintenance
- Why is it a good idea to disinfect the Sea-Onic array after each bath?
The Sea-Onic array has been designed purposely to make sure that only the metal comes in contact with the bath water during the footbath. Further, the metal surfaces that come in contact with the water during the footbath have a substantial current going through the surface. This contributes to keeping the surface clean and free of the various toxins that are eliminated through the skin during the footbath.
However, it is an additional safety precaution to dip the Sea-Onic array into a 91% alcohol jar for several minutes after each bath. This will ensure that no biological toxins remain on the array before it is stored in prevision for the next bath.
- Does the rust on the plates cause any harmful side effects?
We highly recommend cleaning the Sea-Onic array after each footbath. The arrays should be cleaned using the brush supplied with the array. Not doing so will decrease the effectiveness of the array over time.
However, rust is a very old component of seawater and it has lost all of biological activity, in other words it is biologically inert. Therefore, it will not harm the user if there is a small amount (only) of rust. This will not decrease the effectiveness of the Sea-Onic array.
Wellness Maintenance Protocols
- How can I measure my body’s pH level?
Many people trust pH test paper products to provide a basic measurement of the body’s current pH level. The pH papers can measure either saliva or urine, such as with a pH Hydrion test paper. This pH test paper is available at many pharmacies or wellness websites. Kim and Michael, have you decided whether or not you will carry this on your site?
- Why is it important to drink Optimally Hydrating Water after a Sea-Onic footbath?
The action of the Sea-Onic footbath is to displace the old lymph either back into the footbath water, or up towards the immune system, for disposal through the kidneys.
The lymph that is pushed towards the immune system for disposal needs to be processed by the immune system. The immune system relies heavily on water that contains alkaline (negatively charged) minerals that supply oxygen to “burn” the unwanted components in the old lymph (which is acidic, positively charged) before they can be recycled by the kidneys.
So, it is extremely valuable to replenish the supply of optimally hydrating water soon after, or even during, the footbath. Optimally hydrating water, such as Volixer™ Water, contains a variety of alkaline ocean minerals and small water clusters. These are precisely the qualities that allow the immune system to function at its optimal level.
- Are there additional actions to maintain the benefits of the detoxification process of the Sea-Onic footbath?
Once a user takes a Sea-Onic footbath at regular intervals, it becomes important to make sure that poor nutrition, and toxic environments, are not reintroducing toxins into the body as fast as they are being eliminated through the use of the footbath.
This means that users may want to decrease their consumption of acid- causing foods while increasing their consumption of alkali-causing foods. User may also want to consume more optimally hydrating water such as Volixer™ Water, to stimulate their immune system into eliminating toxins as fast as they are encountered.
Another wise practice is to embark in a program of nutritional supplementation such as the Super Vitality Program. This will further help the body to detoxify and strengthen itself.
- Why is it a good idea to include other alternative therapies, including exercise, along with your Sea-Onic footbath detoxification regime?
Over time, the Sea-Onic footbaths will clarify the spinal fluid through which all the nerve impulses from the brain, onto the organs, must pass. This becomes an ideal opportunity to further facilitate the motion of these nerve impulses with the help of chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, or other forms of alternative therapies.
Such adjustments or therapies, will help the organs to function optimally. In addition, when the consumption of optimally hydrating water is increased, these therapies become exponentially effective, thus the value of the Sea-Onic footbath program is correspondingly increased.
As we have seen, a Sea-Onic footbath begins the task of displacing the old lymph by replacing it with cleared, mineral richer lymph. One thing that will help the process is to have a lymph massage after a Sea-Onic footbath. One reason for this is that the lymph does not have a heart pump to make it circulate, so it relies on mechanical contractions of the muscle to move in the lymphatic system.
Another exercise that is valuable after a Sea-Onic footbath is to work on a mini-trampoline for a few minutes after the footbath session. This is a fast and effective way to enhance the lymph circulation.
- Why is it a good idea to practice deep breathing while doing a Sea-Onic footbath?
One of the biggest components of body toxins are oxygen-robbing compounds. When doing a footbath, there is an opportunity to start practicing deep breathing while one is seated quietly. In turn, this will bring more oxygen into the body along with the small-cluster lymph that is generated by the Sea-Onic footbath. Therefore, the body will have an easier time of distributing this extra oxygen throughout the organs of the body.
It is well known that the cells of the organs get much of their oxygen from the blood that has gone through the lungs. But it is also true that organs bathe in the lymph and when this lymph is oxygen-richer, from deep breathing during the footbath, the organs will have an additional supply of oxygen that can contribute to keeping them more functional.
Footbath Water Color
- Why is the color change of the bath water considered unimportant with the Sea-Onic footbaths?
The Sea-Onic footbath has been designed to optimize the surface properties of the array for circulating the sea minerals contained in Sea-Onic footbath concentrate. Once optimized, the majority of the toxins are pushed through the lymph of the body for elimination through the kidneys.
At this point, the toxins released in the footbath water are no longer the most important action of the Sea-Onic footbath. Therefore, some users will see a color change, but most users will not. This of course does not affect the effectiveness of the footbath in any way. On the contrary, the careful design of the Sea-Onic concentrate and the Sea-Onic array, themselves, contribute to a greater effectiveness of the Sea-Onic footbath.
- Why does the footbath water turn black in color?
The surface properties of the array are optimized to keep the array functioning at peak efficiency during its service life. Research proved that this could be accomplished by allowing the array to emit a steady stream of very pure iron oxide-suspended particles into the water, while the current passes through. Such particles are quite biologically inert and can easily be washed off the feet at the end of the footbath session with the Zen Spritzer. However, they ensure that the surface of the plates doe not acquire any undue contamination that would decrease the effectiveness of the bath.
