Title: Extracting toxins using tape on your feet
Post by: 240 is Back on August 25, 2008, 09:11:33 AM
Is this true?  Does it work?  I just caught some mention of it on a cheesy myspace ad, but there seems to be some serious belief in it.  Do certain toxins secrete out at the feet, and tape there helps eliminate more of them?

There is copper and iron filings in the pads which overnight oxidize and turn black making you think it sucked out toxins but in reality it just changed color from the air.

This is true.  It is the sweat from your feet that causes the reaction and the turning of it black.

OMG. for you to even post this question shows how gullible you are...and why schemes like this actually make money.

Did you know that if you tape a piece of toast, butter side up, to a cat's stomach, and drop the cat, that it never hits the ground?  the cat always tries to land feet first, but the toast always lands butter down, so they counter each other and create a hover..?

I think I'm going to try to make a hovercat today. Tomorrow, I will construct a hoverboard propelled entirely by felines and peanut butter toasts. :)

And, if you throw in a couple of those magnetic bracelets you can store the whole thing on the font of your refrigerator.

If I had spent a penny on that website, yes, I would be gullible.

If I was a tad curious about any toxic secretions by the body, and thought posting it here might lead to any good info on it - if indeed it does exist - then posting the thread wouldn't be a bad idea.

Is this the same 240  who  also stated that Michael Phelps is on GH. Hmmm. Maybe Phelps puts tape on his feet at night too...

(Just bustin on ya...)

LOL...  I honestly do believe Phelps uses GH as a recovery agent.  It cannot be detected currently, he slammed world records by a few seconds, and he trains 5 hours a day.  We know that most olympians use.  I find is so so tough to believe the guy who beats all their records - is a natural.

I wonder what is going to happen when a test of GH comes out over the next couple years and 95% of all olympic athlete blood comes up dirty...I believe they hold the blood tests for 8 years...Although i'm sure everything will get slept under the rug, someone is going to make millions in a book deal talking about it...
